A.Scott, Nowberry. H. W.Law?>on, Abbeville. Bine anil Culil. Grizzly-bearded, swarthy and keen, Sits a jeweler, onuuiug and cold; Spectral-eyed, like a Bedouin, Counting hiB gems and gold. Counting his chaplets of Syrian jet, An odorous amber steeped in the sun, The golden circlets, turquoiso Bet, A dowry every one; Blood-red rubies, pearls like grapes, In dusters of purple, black and white; Cameo girdles for exquisite Bhapes; Diamond drops of light; Jeweled masks and filligree fans, In carved cases of tropical wood; Aspic bracelets, buckles aud bands, Clasps for mantle and bood. Dreaming a dream of sordid gain, The merchant, keen-eyed, cunning and eold, Smiles in thought of a yellow rain, Ducats and Boqnims of gold. Trailing her robes cf velvet aud lace, Through the luminous dimness glows Viola's form of girlish grace, And face like an Alpine rose. She comes to look at tho baubles new, To look at the rubies and strings of pearls, "With light iu her eyes of turquoise bine, And light in her goldeu curls. She fans herself with tho filligree fans, Opal-handed, with flame und dusk? Giving the palms of her slender hands The scent of attar aud musk. She tosses the chaplets of Syrian jet And amber by, with a oareless air, And looks in vain for a jeweled net For her beautiful golden hair. Grizzly-bearded, with spectral gleams In th9 merchant's keen eye, cunning and bold, Through the long day he sits and dreams Of mingled blue aud gold? Counting his wealth and baubles and roy?, Of the hoarded coin which his coders hold, A snare for the eyes of blue turquoise And net for the hair of gold. "How muoh bettor it would have been to have shaken bauds and allow it was all a mistake," said a Detroit judge. "Then the lion aud tho lamb would have lain down together, and white-robed peace would have fanned you with her wings and elevated you with her smiles of approbation. But, no, you went to olawing and biting and rolling iu the mud, and here you are. lt'NDS, GOLD and SILVER bought and sold.
