Faded all their crimson flowers ,
Sweet through suu and sweet through

Gloiro do Dijon still blooms on.
fJrcat fair petals , hue of cream ,
Glorious in their pallid Hush
Tints beyond all painter's brush ,
Fragrance faint as in a dream !
Rcsos ! in some far-off Juno.

Mo your lingering scent can move
Like sonio halt-remembered tune ;
FV.r now , at in tho-o long-past days ,
"With leaves just plucked from myrtle tree
You conic , renewing hope , to me
Fresh flowers instead of withered sprays.
An Indian summer ! tliall such close
Yet cri.wa a life long used to pain
With peace like sunliyht after ram ,
And re.it as sweet as Dijon's rose *
Then love onro more shall strong and true ,
Though .Tain und golden days have lied ,
Forbear to mourn , raisj up its head ,
AJIC ! bloom as Dijon Glories do.
THE DEATH OF DOUGLAS.
Clic Sccuo at the Bcdwldoof the Dying
Statesman.
[ Ben : Perley Poore. ]
When Stephen A. Douglas lay stricken
with death at Chicago , his wife , who
\vojj u devout Roman Catholic , sent for
Bishop Duggan , who asked him whether
hu had ever been baptized according to
the rites of the church.
"Never , " replied Mr. Douglas.
"Do you desire to have ma&s said after
tiic 'ordinances of the holy Roman Cath
olic church ? " inquired the bishop.
"No , sir ! " answered Mr. Douglas ;
'when I do I will communicate with you
freely. "
The bishop withdrew , but the next
day Mrs. Douglas sent for him again ,
and going to the bedside ho said , "Mr.
Douglas , you know your own condition
fully , and in view of your own dissolu
tion do you desire the ceremony of ex
treme unction to bo performed ? "
"No ! " replied the dying man.
have no time to discuss these things
now. "
The bishop left the room , and Mr.
Rhodes , who was in attendance , said :
"Do yon know the clergymen of this
city ? "
"Nearly every one of them. "
"Do you wish to have either or any of
them call to see you to converse on re
ligious topics ? "
"No , I thank you , " was the decided
answer.
Soon after this , about 5 o'clock , ho
desired to have his position in bed
changed , the blinds opened and the windows
dews raised. ' Mr. Rhodes lifted him to
an easier posture , where he could look
out upon the street and drink in the
fresh morning air. For a few moments
he seemed to gain' new life. Then he
began to sink away ; his eyes partially
closed , and in slow , measured cadences ,
with considerable pause between each
accent , he uttered :
"Death ! Death ! ! Death ! ! ! "
After this he seemed to revive slightly.
Mrs. Douglas asked if he had any message -
sage for his sons , Robbie and Stevie. Ho
(
replied :
"Tell them to obey the laws and sup
port the Constitution of the United
States. "
At about 5 o'clock Dr. Miller came
into the room and noticing the open
shutters and windo.ws , inquired :
"Why hay.e you these windows raised
and so much light ? "
Mr. Douglas answered :
"So that wo can have fresh air. "
At Mr. Douglas' request Mr. Rhodes
changed the dying man's position again
in the bed , for the last time. He now
lay rather down in the middle of the
bed upon his left side , his head slightly
bent forward and off the pillow. His
wife sat beside him holding his right
hand in both of hers , and leaning tpn-
derly over him , sobbing. Mr. Rhodes
remarked to Mrs. Douglas :
"I am afraid he does not lie comfort
able. " '
In reply to which Mr. Douglas said :
"He is very comfortable. ' '
These were his last intelligible words.
From 5 o'clock he was speechless , but
evidently retained his consciousness.
When , a few moments before his death ,
his wife leaned lovingly over him and
sobbingly asked : "Husband , do you
know me ? Will you kiss me ? " he raised
his eyes and smiled , and , though too
weak to speak , the movements of the
muscles of his mouth evinced that ho
was making an almost dying struggle to
comply with her request. His death
was calm and peaceful ; a few faint
breaths , a slight rattling of his throat , a
short , quick , convulsive shudder , and
Stephen A. Douglas had passed- from
time into eternity. He was buried near
the lake shore , in the suburbs of Chicago
cage , where a monument marks the spot.
A Building Monomaniac.
[ Chicago Tribune. ]
Arsene Houssaye has a mania for
building chateaus. He now has seven at
Bcnujon , and is building an eighth. The
seven were named respectively the
houses of "Youth , " "Love , " "Knowl
edge , " "Family , " "Renown , " "Wealth"
and "Wisdom. " They arc appropri
ately furnished ; the first looks like a
museum of toys , the seconcTis adorned
with paintings and the statues of Ve
nus and Cupid , the third is a mere
library , the fourth is the temple of his
Lares and Penates , the fifth contains the
gifts and written compliments of ad
mirers , the sixth is rich with treasures
and gems , and the seventh is dedicated
to Plato and Socrates.s The eighth ,
which he is now building , is the house
of Death , and will be the mausoleum in
which its author's dust will be placed.
Looking to the Future.
[ Kentucky State Journal ]
She hadn't made up her mind about
it , and they were widely , oh , so widely
separated in the parlor from each other ,
maybe as much as three feet. There
was a pensive smile fringed with doubt
between them. She was engaged in.
deep meditation with herself and was
looking on the floor , when he said :
"Matilda , why not give an answer to
my proposal ? "
"Why , I was just thinking how yon
will look when you get old , " she thought

Some of the states as Missouri , Texas ,
etc. , made great exhibits of their
woman's work in their respective spa
ces on the floor below , and with var
ied and beautiful samples of domes
tic work , prove what superior artists
the ladies are , when they have oppor
tunities to cultivate their tastes and
genius. In painting and drawing
there are samples which would com
pare most favorably with works-of the
so-called masters , and indeed , but for
woman's work seen throughout the
Exposition , it would be a very prosy
affair.
The attendance at the Fair , while
not enormous , is reasonably good ,
and evidently made up chiefly of those

Magnetic Cures. ' HILL
_ . first
nan to discover the philosophical principle
hat all nervous pains , aches , and debility
ihould be treated directly from the "brain
jattery , " from whence emanate all nervous
'orce and will power. All other forms of treat-
aent for nervous disorders are failures. Ev-
sry person who sulTcrs from nervousness
mows this , and that medicines only palliate ,
ut never cure. These appliances are mag-
letic. and dilFer from all others onthe market
rhich are electric. Magnetism is the life of
nan. Their curative qualities arc wonderful
n all ncrvous _ complaints. The Roman physi-
ians practiced magnetic treatment 1,000 years
go in nervous diseases , but did not treat from-
he "brain battery. " Dr. HILL has made this
reat discovery , the only sure cure for nervous
Icadaches , Rneumatism , Neuralgia , Liver
ml Kidney ComplaintsParalysis , Gout , Spin-
1 weakness , Dyspepsia , Constipation , Cold
limbs and Feet , and GencralJDfbiliry. Mirac-
ilous cures noted every day. The Magnetic
Irush lifts nails , and the only article of the
Jnd invented. It is the greatest curative
gent known and used in a "brush bath" im-
arts tone , replenishes the debilitated system ,
nd creates warmth. In chronic cases our
lagnotic Bands. Belts and Pads should be
