The Conscience and future J ads-
went.
I sat alODe 'with my conscience,
- In" aplseei'w-here times had ceased.
A'rd'wetalked of my former living
In the land where the years increased.
And I felt I should have to answer
The question it put to me,
A'ld to face the answer and question
Throughout an eternity.
The ghosts of forgotton actions
Come floating before my sight,
And t‘rings that [thought were dead things
Were alive ‘wlth 'a terrible might.
And the vision of all my past life
Was an awful thing 'to fact"—
lone with my conscience sitting
In that solemnly silent place.
AndI thought of a far-away warning,
Of a sorrow that was to be mine
In a land first then was the future,
But now is the present time,
And I thought of my former thinking
Of the judgment day to be,
But sitting alone with my conscience
8.0m ed judgment enough for me.
And I wondered if there was a future
To this land beyorrd the grave;
But no one gave me‘ an answer
And no one came to savu
Then I Mtg the future was present,
And the p out would never go by.
For it was but the thought of my past life
Grown into eternity.
Tuen I woke from my timely dreaming,
And the vision passed away,
And I knew the far-away warning
Was a warning of yesterday,—
ln this land before the grave,
That I may not cry in the future,
And no one ’come to save.
And so I have a learnt a lesson
Which I ought to have known before,
And which though I learnt it, dreaming,
I hope to forget no more.
So I sit alone with my conscience
In the place where the years increase
And I try to remember the future
In the land where time will cease,
And I know of the future judgment,
How dreadful soe'er it be,
That to sit alone with my conscience
Will be judgment enough for me.

The Adelphi’s Engineer.
‘ James A. Howland was the engineer of the
steamer Adelphi,whose boiler exploded with
terrible effect in Norwalk harbor, September
28, 1878. He is charged with manslaughter,
and his case came before the circuit court in
this city. Wednesday. A grand jury in
Hartford found a true bill against him. The
United States was represented by Attorneys
Child and Hart, and the defense by T. E.
Doolittle, of this cit , and Dennis McMahon
of New York. Mr. oolittle filed a demurer,
and if it were not sustained he announced
that he would ask_ time in which to prepare
a defense. The grounds upon which be
based his demurrer were as follows: That it
is not alleged that the accused was ever em—
ployed on the steamer Adelphi; that it_ is
not alleged that he ever inflicted a wound
upon any party named in the indictment;
that it is not alleged that he did kill or slay
any one and that in what the act of man—
slaughter consisted; that it is alleged that
the accused suffered 10,000 cubic feet to re—
main in the boiler, when the steam could not
possibly do.any damage when remaining in
the boiler; that it rs not alleged that the ves—
sel was an American vessel and subject to
the acts of Congress;_ that'rt is not alleged
that the vessel was wrthrn the jurisdiction of
the United States courts; and that the circuit
court has only jurisdiction In the matter, and
that the district court by which the case was
remanded to the circuit court had no power
so to do. Mr. Doolittle and Mr. McMahon
argued upon the demurrer,‘ and they were
answued by Attorney Childs. Judge Ship-
man overruled the demurrer. and said he did
not think the indictment needed amending.
Attorney Child objected to a 'postpOnement
beyond May. After some discussion Judge
Shipman fixed upon Monday, May 26.. at 2 p.
m., for the be inning of the trial, the session
to be a speeia one held in Hartford. The
accused pleaded not guilty. The similar case
against Inspector Blake will probably come
up at the same session—N. ll. Palladium.

The-DISappointinont of a. Young
Woman who Advertised for a.
Husband.
Several months ago Miss S. E. Redmond
inserted the following notice in a New York
newspaper;
‘ ANTED—A lrusliand; would like to
marry a gentleman of comfortable
circumstances residing in the Soul
S. E. R.
Herald up-to office.
Shortly after the appearance of this notice
Miss Redmond received a letter postmarked
at Hawkinsville, Ga. The writer said that
he had read the notice, and desired to open
up a correspondence with the author of the
advertisement. The lady answered the letter
immediately, and an animated corrrcspond-
once was begun.
The ladywrote numerous letters. She said
that she was a brunette, that she was an ac-
complished pianist and vocalist; in short,she
thought that she could be a good wife, and
would try and make her correspondent happy,
if they should become united in marriage.
The Southern man answered all of the letters,
and wrote that he was a farmer of middle age,
and in comfortable circumstances. He said
that he had quite a large farm about fourteen
miles from IIawkinsvillc, and that he had a
plentyof everything to support a family.
Some of the letters were very tender.
A few weeks ago Miss Redmond wrote to
her correspondent at Hawkinsville to the ef—
fect that she thought the time had come for
action, and that if he would marry her she
Would go to him at once and have the core—
mony prrfOrurtd. To tlrishiut she received
an answer telling her to come at once, and
that he would receive her with open arms
and make her his wife.
Miss Redmond at once read to her mother
and brother the letter that had made her feel
so happy. _A trip South was hastily planned.
The other two members of the family said
that they would go with her and see the affair
done up in the best of style. No new clothes
were needed. All that had to be done was to
bundle up such clothing as was at hand. Soon
the trio were on their way to Georgia. On
arriving at Atlanta they boarded a train for
Hawkinsville. Hawkinsville was reached
without accident, and it was ascertained thllt
the farmer for whom they weresearching
and the stage would not go until the follow-
ing day. The services of a stage were pro-
cured at an advanced price, and the journey
continued. After a drive of hours over a
rough road and through a perfectly barren
waste of country, the stags was reined up in
front of a log cabin. It was midnight,
When the travelers had knocked‘on the door
for some time, an old gray-headed man look-
ed out and asked, “Who is there 1’” The re—
sponse was “Friends,” and a ‘moment later
the situation was fully explained. The old
man dressed himself and asked the visitors to
step in. The surprise of the young lady when
she saw that her lover was an ancient wreck
of humanity can be imagined. She turned
away from him with a shudder and with a
feehng of great disappointment. The mother
became wrathy, and the brother uttered a few
not very complimentary remarks with refer—
ence to the. “old cuss,” as he termed the
farmer. An invitation to the party to remain
until morning was indignantly spurned, and
accompanied by her indignant mother and'
brother, entered the stage and were soon 'on
their way back to Hawkinsvillc.
' They met a negro and asked him how the
old man stood from a financial standpoint.
The old ncgno looked up and remarked:
“Why, missus, dnt man hain’t got a cent,and
his farm is so po’ dat a ground mole would
starve to def on it.” The visitors are on
their return to New York city.~—Atlanta

A Sensational Romance.
' ‘he Waverly (N. Y.) Advocate publishes a
livrly romance about Katie Hanson, who left
her Tioga county (Pa.) home when a young
woman to get rid of the attentions of a boot-
islr lover her parents did not like. She
donned male attire and obtained the position
of head neck on a first-class boat plying be-
tween Detroit and Buffalo. This position
pleased her. and she retained it for along time
In the meantime her parents had resorted to
every means to find her. They searched far
and near, advertised, etc. ‘ The fear that she
had gone to the bad weighed upon them.
One day, while Katie was in Buffalo, mar-
keting for the steamboat cook room, she took
up a paper and read the advertisement dc—
scribing her appearancc. This alarmed her,
but her alarm turned to positive fear when,
shortly afterward, she saw her father and a-
policeman enter a low place on the very
street along which she was walking with her
market basket on her arm. She hurriedly
made her purchases and returned to the ves-
‘sel. The thought that her father suspected
ht of disbonoring him by becoming an in-
mat of such a place as he entered, was
agonizing, and in order to undeceive him she
almost determined to throw ofi her disguise
and return. to her mourning parents. But
stubbornness prevailed, and she preferred
that all her suffering should continue rather
than abandon her purpose of forsaking all
who formerly knew her. When her boat re-
turned to Detroit she gave up her situation
and went to Cincinnati, where she obtained
employment as cook on a boat running on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The life
was rough, and she often longed for the
comforts of her old home, but she remained
until the breaking out of the war in 1801,
when she enlisted as a private. She was
afterward promoted to sergeant, and in 1864
was in General Thomas’s division at Nash-
ville. One day her captain, whose name was
Hopkins, and who was afterwards promoted
to major, halted her as she was returning
from stationing a squad of pickets. Look—
ing at her sharply. he asked her if she was
not a woman. The hot blood mounted to
her cheeks and she confessed that she was.
The captain said he had long suspected it.
She pleaded with him not to reveal her secret,
but be said that General. Thomas must know
it, and the captain and Sergeant Katie were
soon before him. He sent her to ther-ear in
the hospital, where she again donned the
costume of her sex, and her duty‘ until the
close of the war was to nurse‘ the sick and
wounded. When the war ended she married,
the captain. Drawing from a bank the money
she had saved as steamboat cook, they went
to the island of Cuba, in the interior of which
they bought a handsome plantation, where
they now reside with their two children. In
this retreat they were found by Colonel Wil
son, of Philadelphia, in 1876, and Mrs. lIop-
kins, once little Katie, implored him to let
her parents know of her whereabouts and
condition, and to convey to them the assur—
ance of her deep love for them still. She
had been brave in everything else, but when
it came to writing to her wronged parents
and explaining everything, she admitted that
she was a coward. But she proposes to visit
them this summer.

A woman by the name of Annie Cox, of

man named Taft, and in his absence on busi-
ness lately gave Mrs. Taft some powders with
a letter from Taft, instructing his Wife and
children to take the powders as a preventrve

posed at Buffalo. The wife took one of the
powders and administered the others to her
three children, and soon after they were all

The Potter committee have given him
(Mr. Tilden) a certificate which must be ac-
cepted by the party, however the country at
large may view it. The party is in very
much such a fix as the gentleman who, in
response to the importunities of a worthless
fellow for a recommendation, at last, in 01'-
der to get rid of him, sat down and wrote
a recommendation in which the applicant
was highly extolled forhis honesty,ability and
industry. The fellow read it over carefully,
and not withoutsome surprise at the fullness
of the praise; then turnrng to the writer
said, "Look, here ain’t you joking ?” “By
no means,” was the answer. “Do you mean
to say you believe all you’ve written here ?"
“Why, yes; why shouldn't I ?” “Oh, it's
all right, I suppose,” said the fellow, “but
if you believe it, you'd better hire me your-
self ; nobody else will.” When the next
democratic national convention meets it
will undoubtedly find Mr. Tilden at the
door with the Potter certificate in his hand,
ready to remark, “Here’s your recommenda-
tion; if you believe it, hire me yourself; no
body else will.’.’— Tribune.

Sincemy last interview on this important
consultation of the day, I hev jest cleened
ther hens, wat wer holdin’ a settin' match on
my nice clean kitchin floor, out intew ther
yard, an' in thnsly doin’ I accrued a lot on
spilled eggs on ther floor, ther same of wich
looked like one on my big omletcs I used to
make my dear huzben, Joshua Jeremhezer-
kiar Gummage, by apelashun. Wall, I were
puty near gone won I bed finished up ther
walkin" matches, (k’um ter think on it, I did’t
kno’ matches kood walk store), an’ I than
I’d set down an’ rest, but wen I put hand in
my pocket topull out my spektikles they
wegen’t ther. Wall, I jumped up to go tu
ther barn for ’em, wet I thort I had dropped
’em. But I changed my mind, fer as I
jumped up they fell from off my bed ontew
my nos’, an' so I set calmly down agin an'
tuk up ther Sun to see of I couldn’t subdoo
ther swet an’ dry my feelins.
Ther fust I set my eyes on wer ’bout a
walkin’ match in Give—us—more Gardens.
