Price, 25 cents. Seven Years Old. BY C. SWINBURN1 Seven white roses on one tree. Seven white loves of tilnmele'S leaven, Seven white sails on one soft sea, -Seven white swans on one lake's lee. Seven white llower-liko stars in heaven. All are types unmeet to be For a birthday's crown of seven. II. . Not the radiance of the roses. Not the bles-dntr of the bread. Not the breeze thut ere day grow is Fresh for sails and swun?, aud closes Wings above tho sun's irreat spread. When the stnrshine on the snow is Sweet as sleep on sorrow shed. III. Nothing sweetest, nothing best, Holds so good and swoot a treasure As the love wherewith once blest Joy grows holy, grief takes rest, - Life, half tired with hours to measure. Fills his eyes and lips and breast - With most light and breuth of pleasure. IV. As the rapture unpolluted. As the pnssion undefiled. By whose force all pains heart-rooted Are transfigured end transmuted. Recompensed and reconf iled, Through the imperial, undisputed. Present godhead of a child!. Brown, bright eyes and fair, bright head. Worth a worthier crown than this is, Worth a worthier son; instead; Sweet, grave, wise, round mouth, full fed With the Joy of love, whose bliss is Mora than mortal wine and' bread. Lips whose words arc sweet as kisses. VI. Little hands so glnd of giving, Littlo heart so iflad of love. Little soul so glad of living. While the s'trong, swift hours sre wea inar Light with darkness woven above. Time for mirth and t'mo for grieving, Plume of ruven and plume of dove. VII. . - i . , I can give you but a word, . Warm with love therein for leaven, But a song that falls unheard, YTet on ears of sense unstirred, - Yet by song so far from heaven. Whence you came, the brightest bird. Seven years since, of seVen times seven. PERFECTLY HEABTLESS. Pretty? Yes, rather pretty, but per fectly heartless!" said Mrs, Ilolmes to Dr. Stanley, a young- aud talented pby iician, with whom she waa eonversinr, at a large and brilliant entertainment. ..'Heartless! with, that sensitive mouth, and those eyes, so deep and full of expression?" said the physician mus ingly. "I don't admire her style of beauty at all. She looks like a wax doll, and her heartlessness is proverbial. Since her ancle left her so wealthy she has had suitors by the score, and flirts with ev ;ry one. Why, look at her now?" Dr. Stanley s eyes iallowetl the direc tion in which the lady waved her fan. and rested on the central ligure of a Sroup round the piano. Jt . was it lady, ,-ounff and fair-i With a tall, exceedingly raceiul figure, pure 'Greek features, &nd large blue eyes. Her hair was short, but the soft, full curls made a lovely frame for the fair face. Her dress was of dark lace; and twisted amongst the golden curls were deep crimson flowers, with dark green leaves; and on the snowy throat and arms glittered blood-red rubies. She was conversing gayly with a knot of gentlemen, and Dr. Stanley sauntered over to the group. 'Miss Marston," said one gentle man, "what has become of Harold Gra ham, the artist?" The tiny hands swept oyer- the Ivory keys of the. grand piano, in the measure of 'a brilliant waltz; and another of the group, supposing Miss Marston did not hear the question, said, "Out at elbows, and can't appear." . ' "He was wretchedly pot or, there is no doubt," said a third. - 'Perhaps he has committed suicide. It is three weeks since he disappeared," said another. "Oh, I hope not!" said Miss Marston; "we want his tenor for our next musi cal soiree. It would be too provoking for him to commit suicide!" "Mrs. Holmes was right,", thought the doctor; "she i3 perfectly heartless. Poor Harold!" . ' He turned from the piano, but stop ped as a full, rich voice broke out into tong. Eva Marston was singing Schu bert's "Last Greeting;" and into the mournful words she poured such wilLng energy and deep pathos, that group af ter group, in the large rooms, ceased their gar conversation to listen to the music. "Can she sing so without heart . or feeling?", murmured the doctor, again drawing nearer to the piano. , "Eva," said a young lady, as the last notes of the song died, away-r-"Eva, play a polka, "won t you?" " A contemptuous smile quivered, for a moment on Eva Marston's lip; then, nodding good naturedly, she gashed off into a lively polka, which soon melted the group round the piano into merry, pght-footed dancers; and . Pr Stanley yent with the rest. The next morning Miss Marston sat tn her own room, writing a letter. Let us peep over "her shoulder at one sen tence: All hollow,--all heartless, Miriam! You blame me for flirting; you are not here to see how they follow me merely for my money; not one. true heart among them alL :There was one Harold" A knock at the door interrupted her, ."Come in!" and a needle-woman en tered with a basket pf work. ' ' .Good-morn fng,' said Ea, pleasant ly, Vljow ts Terence this morning?" 'Oh! miss, it's beautiful. he is to day. Sure, marm, I'm sorry, ye've had to wait so long for the needle-work.'? "Never mind that. How could "you work with the poor fellow so ill?" "Sure, miss, it's many a one expects their work, sick or well; and isn't Jerry sitting up the day playing with the toys ye sint him and Pat, that I kept home from school, a-minding him." "How much, Marv?" said Eva, tak ing out her purse. "Oh! miss, you don't owe Marv.Dan nis a farden. 'There's the docllier ye left ihe money to pay and the wood ye sint and the parties and milks-and the money ye gave me last week; sure, miss, it's in your debt I am for the rest of your life." "What I gave Terence has nothing to do with my bill." said Eva, rapidly counting out some money. "Miss Eva ," said tho poor Irish needle-woman, and then stopped. Well, Mary?" "Sure, miss, you do so much good with your money, I'm ashamed to tell you " "Tell me what?" "Well, miss, it's about the yonng gentleman that's, rinted niv room. You mind where the widdcr ilied last au tumn. He came a we?k back, miss, and he niver come down stairs for three days; so this morning I wint up, and he s sick with a fever, out of his head entirely, miss. Ii j-ou would coma now." "Wait, Mary; I'll go with you." "He's dreadful poor, I think, miss; for it's precious little furniture nothing Wit a bed, and a table, and chair, and no thrunk at all, at all, but a bit of a bag." Ihrowingoff her silk wrapper, Eva put on a dark gray dress and cloak, and added a close silk bonnet with a thick veil. "Come, Mary !" And the two left the house together. In a low, close room, on a pallet-bed, lay Mary Dennis' lodger. The face against the coarse ticking pillow was such as one fancies for that of his favorite poet. The hair was dark, waving over abroad, white forehead; and the deep- set eyes were hazel, large and full; and the features delicate. Usually the face was pale, but now it was crimson with fever. The eves, too, licrce and wild. But, even with all this, that face was beautiful with an almost unearthly beauty. Into that poor, low room, Eva, with her sombre dress and radiant beauty, came like a pitying angel. She gave one glance at the invalid's face, and then crossed the room to his side. "Eva!" said the sick man "Eva!" "He knew me, she murmured, draw ing back. liut the j'oung man moaned her name again, and then broke forth in wild, delirious ravings. "Mary," said Eva, "send Patrick to me. 1 will hnd pencil and paper. Mary left the room, and Eva turned to the table, to lirid paper and pencil. She wrote two hasty notes. One was to her housekeeper, fr pillows and sheets; the other was to Dr. Stanley, who did not conjecture who was the friend that sent him so much practice among, poor patients, and saw that the young physi cian was well paid. Having despatched ratnek with the notes, Eva tried to make the desolate room more home-like. Lifting from the table a waistcoat, something dropped from the pocket to the floor. She pick ed it up. It was a small miniature case, open; and painted on the ivory, Eva Marston's beautiful face. A smile, gentle and pitving, came on her lips. "lie did love me, then really love me and would not seek me with the herd of fortune hunters who follow me and that is the reason whv I have miss ed him for so long." "Arrah, miS3, here s the-docther! "Stop him, Mar I will go in here. Remember, Mary, you don't know niv name!" and Eva went into another lit tle room, vacant, and adjoining that of the invalid's. The dqcr atooil ajar, and Dr. Stanley's firi exclamation after en tering reached her. 'Harold! have I found you at last. and in such a place?" tva s eyes ranged over the capabili ties of tho room in which she stood, and she nodded, saying, "it will do larger and better than the other, but a poor place at best." Ihe next day, when Dr. Stanley call ed to see his patient, Mary, with a par donable pride, ushered him into the room that had been vacant before. A soft carpet was on the floor, and a lire in the grate. Soft muslin curtains, snowy white, draped the window. The bed could scarcely bo recognized, with its pure white pillows, counterpane, and sheeti. A little table stood beside the bed, with the medicines, the doctor had ordered, and a decanter of cooling drink. "The lady ye mind 1 told you of, that sent ye to Terry," said Mary. "We ar ranged . tho . room yesterday, and my good man and I moved him to-day, so she'll find him here when she comes. It's sound asleep he's been for better than three hours, sir." Two hours later Harold was still asleep, but then he opened his ej es. The cold, cheerless room was changed, as if by enchantment; and (Harold thought he was dreaming) an angel face bent over him, with pitying eyes, and a smile tender as ft mother's over her child, "Eva!" he whispered. "Oh, that I could die in such a dream, and never awako to the bitter, hopeless love! Let me die now!" Was it a dream, that sweet, low voice answering him? Vllarold, you will not die j-ou will live live for me! Your genius shall be recognized, your pictures sought. No more struggling for life, but only for fame!" And the tears fell as she spoke. Dr. Stanley, standing in the doorway, recognized the ball-room belle, and the object of his friend's long-silent, hope less love. Softly ho glided down the stairs, for he knew that a better medi cine than he .could prescriba was within the patient's grasp. And the world said: "Just think of Eva Marston,' rich, and such a belle, marrying Harold Graham, the artist, who was as poor as a church mouse!" Professor Williams, of Yale College, says the story of the beheading of Chin Chin Chai, formerly a student in New Haven, Conn., must be apocryphal. He cannot trace the letter said to hv been recei ved, and is certain no behead ing could be done atJIong Kong, as re- fiorted, for that i" an English province, le knew that the Government does not behead for Christianity, nor as a penalty for an affection for Christian girls, llector dishing, who was Chin's teach er, declares the whole story senseless and untrue. . The simplicity of the Emieror Wil liam's taste and character is illustrated in the burgher-like fashion in which he went about choosing Christmas gifts for his friends. The venerable gentleman made all his own purchases and provid ed surprises for all his family hu&o-hold. Special Dinpatch to the Globe-Democrat. Winston, X. C, Feb. 22. A singular and terrible affair occurred in Kow&n County to day. A barn-raising was go' ing on upon the plantation of Major Lws, and John Held and Peter Jo seph, two of the workmen upon the building, g ot into a quarrel, and Held threw an ax at Joseph, the keen blade literally spatting his head in two, scattering bis brains and killing him instantly. As Held threw the ax he lost his foothold and fell from the building, breaking his neck. Three men were on the ground at the time, James Cephas, Richard Wiley and Ned Blandford, engaged in raising a heavy log. They became so much excited at the tracedies they bad just witnessed that Cephas lost his hold on the log and caused it to fall. As it came down it caught Wiley and crushed his abdo men, inflicting injuries from which lie died. - Of the five men at work on the building only two remained alive. The Weather of 1SS1. From a review of the Meteorology of Nebraska for the year 18S1, issued by the Volunteer Weather Service of the state, S. Ii. Thompson, Director, we learn that there are forty observers representing twenty counties extend ing from Washington to Pawnee, and from the Missouri river to Lincoln County. One great peculiarity of the rainfall of 1SS1 was its unequal distribution. The northeastern part of the state had the most rain, the southeastern the least, the northeastern average being 41.68 inches; the southeastern, 2P.C2. Along the range of the Platte as far west as Kearney there was abundant rain; the rainfall of September has been exceeded but five times in thirty years. The humidity of the first five months and October was above the mean, of the remaining months below. More snow fell duriug the first three months than during any correspond ing period since 1837. January and February were the coldest since 1875. The total number of miles traveled by the wind during the year was 84.- .971 which is 5,733 miles more than the average of the last eight years, but C, 870 less' than in 18S0. TLe most des tructive storm of the season occurred at Stanton and other points in the vi cinity the blind asylum and other buildings were injured at Neb. City, and other points sustained much in jury, ibis storm extended irom Minnesota to New Mexico, including Iowa, Missouri and the eastern part of Kansas and Nebraska. The year 1881 was characterized throughout the whole United States by extreme, variations of heat and cold, by droughts and floods that were very damaging to agricultural interest. Nebraska suffered, probably, from these less than most other states. The World's Cyclopedia or History. The 3rst volume of this great cyclo pedia is announced to be ready in a few days.

The mpt striking (in two senses) thing about the hatter's art. in the old time when felt hats were made by hand, was the heating up of the felt. Dipping the mass of wool and hair, from which his fabric was to be for.ned, frequently into hot water the hatter wa3 then wont to fly at it, as if in passion, and give it a violent beating with two sticks, one held in each hand, till it was matted to gether into felt, which, in time after numerous combings and dressings and shearings, became the stjlish beaver worn by the men of fifty years ago. The hatter seemed to be very mail at this ob ject of his labor, and "mad as a hatter" needed no explanation in those days. Lurlington ( 17.) t ree Prcs.

I got a bad cold, and. then that not being suf ficiently severe, I was also attacked with rheumatism. The pain was in my left shoulder. At times I almost writhed with agony. I tell you sir, taat the pain could not have been greater had my shoulder been sciewed up in a vise. I was utterly helpless, and felt like I was destined to remain in that condition indefinitely. My friends and a physician were generous In their prescriptions and my room soon became a miniature apothecary shop. Rut nothing did me any good. One day some one told me I waa en during a great deal of needless pain when I could invest fitly cents in a bottle of St. Jacob's Oil and bo cured. I iuvested in a bottle of the Oil, rub bed it on my shoulder twice, and in two days forgot that I ever had rheu matism. Yes, that is a great remedy, and no mistake. They can't say too much in favor of its healing power." The above was uttered by Mr. Edg ington while sitting In the porch of the La Gonda House, at Columbus, the other evening, and was overheard by an escaped reporter, who is traveling over the country incog. Inquiry de veloped the fact that Mr. Edgington is one of the most widely known men in Kansas, figures prominently In pol itics, and acting as the responsible agent or the Rradstreet Commercial Agency. Upon subsequently making Mr. Edgington's acquaintance the re porter was assured , that all he had heard was true, and he was at liberty to use it in the papers. Oswego (Kas.) Democrat.

How some People Talk. Most people talk nonsense when they are idle. The human brain is naturally vivacious and elastic, hence that pro nounced mental versatility which is al ways to be found in men of sen sc. Sensi ble people talk about the weather when there is no sense in talking about it, just as naturally as they do anything that suggests itself to them when they are unengaged. For instance we heard a gentleman say recently: "We need snow badly." Uf course, he did not know why we needed snow; but such was the circumstanses under which this pro found declaration was delivered that tho words seemed Ut come naturally, and with an honestness which proved that their conception and pronunciation was irresistable to the man. This is a world of lips and downs, turbulences and mutabilities; and one of the oldest yet most reasonable peculiarities of its in habitants. the soul-liaTowing, innocent inclination of all mankind to talk about the weather, Aud do you think it will rain?

Coughlin of Somer ville, Mass., says: "In the fall of 1876 I was taken with a violent bleed ing of the lungs followed by a se vere cough. I was so weak at one time that I could not leave my bed. In the snmme;- of 1877 I was admitted to the Cm v I7os,"tal. While there the doctors Sri'd I h;td a hole in my left lung as b' r as ;i half dollar. I expend ed over a :nnidred dollars in doctors and medicines. I gave up hope, but a friend told me of DR. HALL'S BAL SAM FOR THE LUNGS. I got a bottle to satisfy him, when to my. sur prise and gratification, 1 commenced to feel better, and to-day feel in better spirits than I have the past three years. I write this hoping that every one afilicted with Diseased Lungs will be induced to take Dr. WM. HALL'S BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS and be convi uced that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. I can positively sav that it has done more good than all the other medicines I have taken dm ing my sickness." Sold by drug gists. 15
