Our Lov:.d and Lo t. They are gone fr m us for ever, And our hearts are rent in twain, For we know, alas! that never On this earth we'Jl meet again Diar old fiiend", whose smiling face', Did so cheer us day by day, Their swe. t words, mid fo.i,i embraces, Time, rude time, can ne'er umay. In our hearts as fresh as ever Mem'ries of our loved and I tst, Sli;,Il make life a true endeavour, Nobler, better than the past. Ofrentimrs we sadly linger In the paths that they have trod, But our dreams of Heaven are sweeter, For we know they are with God. Clydach. MAGGIE GRIFFITHS.

tltftdJ lOwrrg. On Death. Can death be sleep, when life is but a dream, And scenes of bliss pass as a pilant: m by? The transient pleasures as a vi-ion seen, And yet we ihhik the greatest pain's to die. How strange it is that man on earth should roam, And ltad a life of woe, but not forsake His rugged p ith nor d u e he view alon. His fut ure doom, which is but to awake.

Like His Mo h:r." "I was born in Indiany," says a stranger lank and slim, As us felius in the restaurant was kind o' guyin' him, And Uncle Jake was Hlidin' him another pun'kin pie And an extra cup o' coffee, with a twinkle in hia eye— "I was born in Indiany—more'n forty years ago, And I hain't been back in twenty—and I'm workin' back'ards slow; But I've et in every restaurant 'Cwixt litre and Santa Fe, And I want to state, this coffee tastes like gittin' home to me I Pour us out another, daddy," says the feller warmin' up, A-speakin' 'crot a saucerful, as uncle tuck his cup- When I seed your sign out yonder," he went on to Uncle Jake— Come in and get some coffee like your mother used to make— I thought of my old mother and the Posey County farm, And me a little kid a^'in a hnngin'on her arm As she set the pot a-bilin—bioke the eggs and poured 'em in-" And the feller kind o' halted, with a tremble in his chin. And Uncle Jake he fetched the follsi's coffee back and stood As solemn fer a minute as an undertaker would Then ho soit o' turned and tiptoed to'rds the kitchen door, and next Here comes his old wife out with him, a-rubbin' of her spec?— And she rushes for tho ctranger, and she hollers out, II It'll him! Thank God, we've met him comin'! Don't you know your mother, Jim?'' And the foil r, as he grabbed her, sars, You btt I 11:1111 l forgot "— BLit, vv,ipitil of his eyes, s'iys hf, Your coffee's mighty Lot." JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

OUR LAWYER '0 Conducted by a Barrister-at-Lavv. Legal questions must be stated fully and clearly, and a full copy must lie sent of any document on vchick advice is sought. All communications must hs endorsed "LEGAL," per Editor, "Weekly Maiz," I Cardiff. MASTI it AND APPKENTICE.—" Constant Header (Gctr- diff) is auvisèfllhat although his apprenticeship in- denture provides that he shall serve.. certain term, which wiil not expire until eighteen months after he has come of age, he May, upon coaaing of age, or within a reasohnble time thereafter, repudiate tile indenture and refuse to s*'rve any longer, anof his master will have no remedy agiMndt hiai. But if he does this, h's master may bring an action and retover damages against his father whj signed the itidtature. and thereby made himself responsible for the rllItt per- formance of his duties Ly the apprentice during ne whole term mentioned in the indenture. TKUSTKKSHIP.—" Inquirer" (Penarth) is advised thafc his co-trustce may resign without waring tar the appointment of another in his place. The appoint- ment having been by deed the resignation ahauMBe by deed. Tue deed of resignation may be very ilaart, and may b endirned "pon the settlement. The appointment of a new trustee will be by deed, ,.tud it wi,l be a saving of expense if s new trustee t'a.i be found in time, so that the resignation of the one md the appointment of the other may be incorporated in one deed. Until the retiring trustee has U,jigU4d. he must be made a party to all trunsactious concerning the trust funds. If he retires before auoStisr is appointed, our correspondent will then be the iota trustee under the settlement, and will be enti:l«rt to act in discharge of the trusts, and will be to manage all businesi thereunder. If the pintle* are contenied with one trusiee, there is no reil necessity to fill up the vacancy. PATENT.—' Scrupulous" (Swansea) should write to the Comptrollerof Patents, Chanceiy-!aue, London, who will send him, free of charge, full particulars as to how to obtain provisional or complete protection, what fees are pnynble, aud all other information he requires. There is no connection between a trade uur.; and a patent. BASTAIIDY.—"Ancient" (Ptnarth) is advised that an affiliation order may be made in favour of a married woman who is living apart from her husband. A mar- ried woman living apart from her husband is con- sidercd as a single woman for the purposes of the Bastardy Act. In such a case the woman must pro- duce iiKicpendent witnesses who will prove that-her husband tins not had access to her for more than nine mouths lefore the birth of the child. Tile evidence must be very strong aud conelusive, or her case will fail. LEASS.—" Nemo" (Neath) is jdvised that a lease for any term exceeding three years must bs by deed under seal. Nevertheless, the agreement of which he sends uj a cepv is of some value, because the court would order either party, 011 the application of llie other, to sign a leae containing all usual and proper cfauses, and upon the terms set forth in the agreement. The great difficulty with which either party attempting to force the other to execute a lease would be met fa he fact that the agreement of tenancy is not properly stamped, and before it could be produced in evidence in any court the person desiring to produce it would have a he.vy penalty to pay. An agreement of tenancy requires the same amount of stamp duty <13 a lease, and where the annual rent exceeds £10, but does not exceed £15, the stamp duty is b. 6d., whereas our correspondent appears to have contented himself with affixing a sixpenny stamp. APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR.— Old Subscriber (Urickhowell) is advised that no man cau be com- pelled to act as executor or trustee of a will a«aitst his wish. A trustee may act for any length of time and then resign, but if an executor joins in proving tho will, and probate is granted to him, he is bound to carry out his executorship he has sworn to do so. and, therefore, cannot resign. If our correspondent does not wish to act, lie must refuse from the Erst to join in the applicat ion for probate or to have anything to do with the matter. If required, he must, at the expense of the estate, sign a renunciation of his ri^ht to probate. NOTICE TO QUIT. W. A. P." (Haverfordwest) is ad- vised that the n ue to quit may be served upon the 29th of ueptemt or on any earlier d.iy. It may be delivered to the tenant or left with any person upon the promises old enough to understand what It is. If it is left with any person other than the tenant, such person should be told what it is, and should be asked to gi e it to the tenant. Either the landlord or aaV other person may serve the notice. Wo do not advus sending it by post. A copy should be kept, and 1& memorandum endorsed upon it by the person who served it, stating the day, hour, pla,!e, and manner of service. The following form will do;- To Mr. I hereby give you notice to quit and deliver up to me on the 25th day of March next possession of the dwddng-1Jouse and premises at which you now hold a my tenant. Hated this day of 1831. « W. A. P. LANDLORD AND TSNANT. — Anxious Iuquirer 's advised that the best way to put, an end to the dispute between himself and his tenant as to the quantity of land in the holding is to employ a surveyor to mea- sure it. It is very improbable that the Ordnance 1D8 is incorrect, but it is quite pssible that the persel who has made the statement that the map Oflgw-s the land to contain nine ai res less than it has always been considered to contain may have been mistaken. H there la such a great diiferenee between the nominal and the act ual measurement of the land the tenant is fairly entitled to a proportionate reduction of tire rent. LIFIi ASSURANCE.—1" M. R," may have: he policies assigned to his wife by a deed of a-^g.mient if he thinks fit. The stamp duly payable on the assign* ment will depend on the iiitture and amount of the considerfition staled in the assignment. A woman cannot legally take out a policy on the life of her father unless he is indebted to her, or she has some other pecuniary interest in bis life. If the policies had originally been taken out in the name of our correspondent's wife they would not have been valid, and she could not have compelled payment of the amounts asmred when her father died. If her father maktsa will bequeathing the insurance moneys to her this will be sufficient without any assignment but, of course, he may at any time make a fresh will leav- ing them to some other person. DIYOBCE IN FORMA. PAUPBBIS.—" Met tliyr "is advised that, if he obtains an order for leave to sue in forma pauperis he will be relieved from payment of court fees, counsel's tees, and solicitor's costs, but be will have to pay the expenses of his witnesses. The attendance of the witnesses in London on the trial cannot be dispensed with, and the conit has not at its command any fund available for payment of the witnesses. DISPUTH AS TO DEBT. Weekly Reader" (Treharrh) is advised to pay to his creditor the exact amount which be admits owing, and tell him be intends to dispute the balance. If any action should be brought for the recovery of the balance he had better at once instruct solicitor to defend it. JOINT OWNERSHIP OF ESTATE.—"Ap Gattwg" (Neath) may obtain a full account of the rents and profits of the estate of which he is a part owner by commencing an action in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, claiming to have an account taken. This is the only method by which he can attain his objeet. The proceedings would occupy a considerable time, and be would have to find the money with which to carry them on, although, probably, in the end the defendant would be ordered to pay all costs. HoME-BBEWED ALB.—" A Householder (Tredegar) may brew all ale he requires for the use of his own family, but he must first obtain a licence from the Excise-office. tThe cost of the licence will be very small, but as it depends on the amount of his rent, and he does not say what that is, we cannot tell him the exact cost. His licence will not bind him down to u-i- ing only malt and liops but of course he cannot itit less harmless ingredients.

BUFFALO BILL'S "WILD WEST. The Visit to Cardiff. I Interview with the General Manager, During the wiiola of next week there will be located in CirdifF one of the most gigantic and interesting exhibitions which has ever been brought together in any pait of the world. The Red Indians of the American Continent have furnished the subjects of many a historical and anthropological treatise, and have afforded material for romances ol the most thrilling character. It has, however, been left to Colonel W. F. Cody (" Buffalo Bill") and Mr. Nal e Salusbuiy (his partner) to bring the inhabitant* of the Eastern States of America and of Europe face to face with the habits and condi- tions of life of the residents in what is known as the Wild West." In this work Colonel Cjdy has not only provided an entertainment of a most interesting nature, but has given valuable instruc- tion to millions of people both in the Old and the New Worlds. Hearing that M»jor John M. Burke, the general manager of Buffalo Bill's "Wild West," was in Cardiff making preparations for tho great event of next week, a representative of the Weekly Mail waited upon him at the Royal Hotel where he has taken up his temporary quarters. Major Burko is a tall, well-built man, who has himsdf seen much of Indian life, and who took an active part in the recent trouble at Pine RiJge. Having heard the object of our representative's visit to his chambers, he at once set to work by describing the events which led to the establish- Blent of the Wild West show. "Colonel Cody," lie said," was the originator of the exhibition. He was born in Iowa, then the extreme Western Slate of America, but when he was only seven years of age his father moved to Fort Levenworth, which was at that time in the centre of a desolate Indian country. Fiona childhood he was acquainted with the tactics of the natives, and became inured to the dangers which constantly surrounded him. After living in this region for many years and fighting his country's battles, he conceived the idea of presenting to the inhabitants of the Eastern States an animated picture of Indian life. Ha was joined in this enterprise by Mr. Nate Salusbury, who had been through the Civil War, and afterwards accumulated coneiderable wealth in the cattle traie." When was the exhibition formed V asked our reporter. In 1883 at Omaha, Nebraska," was the rerI), "and it has proved a succe-s from the start." It has been improved since then, I suppose' No, it has been very much the same through- out. After visiting the principal towns in the States, a tour through Europe was suggested. This was laughed at by most who knew the gigantic character of the show but, nevertheless, in 1887 we were in London." Where you did enormous business, I be- lie ve^? Yes, we did woll. We were patronised by the Queen, the members of the Royal family, Lord Salisbury, Mr. Gladstone, and the loading members of the aristocracy of the country. We gave a special f performance before Jubilee guests, and never; before was there such a number of Royal person. ages together. The leading lights of the stage and the press also visited us." You went to the provinces afterwards, did you ro, ?" Yes; we visited Birmingham and Manchester, and wintered at the Jatter town, giving a some- what, different performance from that which drew so well in London. Before the end of 1888 we had again crossed the Atlantic, and appeared at Richmond, Virginia. Returning to Europe, wo lauded at Havre, and the' Wild West' was one of the principal attractions at the Paris Exhibition. Then we visited the principal towns in Spain and Italy, and attended at the Vatican by request of the Pope. It is somewhat interesting that this was the first time that a Red Indian l landed at Barcelona, the port to which Columbus returned after discovering America. After going through Saxony, Prussia, and the Rhine country, wo wintered at S rabnrg. Colonel Cody and I then made for the seat of war lit-,it winter, taking with us the Indians whom we brought over first, and whom we had partially civilised. I landed at Washington and went out to Pine Ridge -5,800 miles without toppjng-getting there just in time for the'racket.' Colonel Cody tried to bring about a ptaoeful settlement with the Chief Sitting Bull, but received an imperative order to return. He then placed himself at the head of 1,000 native militiamen and joined General Miles' force. Wnile ready to fight he still endeavoured to bring about a solution of the difficulty, and eventually succeeded, but not before some blood had been shed." Thin, of course, is a matter of history So it is, but I was going to tell you that we have now with us 63 or 64 Red Indiana whom we brought away with us. Among them are the chiefs Kicking Rear a^d Short Bull, who held the stronghold against us in the Bad Lands. The camp was placed upon a plateau 150ft. above the surrounding valleys, and there was only one place where men could entor it, and that 20ft. wide. We have also in our company the following chiefs II of friendly Indians :—No Neck, Yankton Charlie, Plenty Wolves, and Black Hemt. That we have these warriors with us makes the exhibition more interesting than when we visited London in 1887." Did you return to Strasburg ?" Yes, and then visited Brussels, whf-re we had extraordinary success. We then crossed to Eng- land, and commenced our farewell tour of the English provinces. We have visited Ledi", Liver- pool, Manchester, Sheffield, Stoke-on-Trent, Not- tingham, and Birmingham. Next week we shi.TI be in Cardiff, and wo then go on to Bristol, Ports- mouth, Brighton, Croydon, and Glasgow. By that time we shall have finished our Euiopean tours, because there are no other territories for us to visit."

As soon as I touched the wire I felt myself drawn up with lemarkible rapidity. Blue fliuie shot from my eyes. It was intensely blue, and yet brilliant. I felt a sens i'.ion sucli as I never experienced bafore. As far (t'l I could reahse, the feeling VI a plaasurabh'. I felt that my litre had come, and then I lost consciousness. I afterwards learned that this experience had not taken more than two seconds.
