It we could dream when stilt nnd Mid beside us ,, Our loved oik* sit through silent ku miliar evtw, I »f days when blewwlnw* will be denied a*,

And life be as a won, weak wind that grieves, AVhat tender speeeh would give them Joy of living.

As Wfnd* wild rones thnt the dews forsake, And into what sw«.et jeanw of thankMglvInK The harps of solitary souls would hniik. If we could hear above the mounds where roses 9 Lie like nmnll vales with violets inlaid, Above the shiuiowsof the Parian crosses

A little stir by seiaph pinions made, How swiftly would the olden, wine-red (lushes

Leap to our lips where no red flush has

Since In tb» saddest of September hushes. We touched wnrm hernia that held no pulse within.

We know not till the wimmer tltue is over And something nweet 1» missing irom the air, How our large lives were wedded to the clover

And to the buds that brightened everywhere! And oh, we know not till from off our bosoms,

Fainting, we mim a flow of fragrant hair, How Mllently amid the Hummer blojMoms

God's angels walked beside us unaware.

THE RO VTK OF THE RA1LROAD." Undor this head a correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial is writing in terestlng letiero from the mountain region of Eastern Kentucky and Tonnes see. Wo give two extracts: chitwood's.

Chltwood'a is a point about four miles south of the Kentucky line, and takes its name from being the homo and farm of James Chit wood. It is a noted place on the railroad map, being a gap in the mountains, and during the war was considered a strategic pointof come importance. It mii^ht be considered the ite-way to East Tennessee. At the

Ing of the war it was occupied

by the rebels, and was to them a sort of Mally port through which they often shot Into Kentucky and as otten shot back. Burnside advanced into East Tennessee by Chitwood's, and indeed

great deal o't see-sawing was done by both armies through this gap ordepres slot) in the face of the mountain.

I stopped to see Uncle Jimmy, as everybody calls Mr. Chitwood, and found him a kind-hearted, hospitable old gentleman, full of talk and stories of the war. "I have lived here ever since 1 was three yearn old," he said "and have kept my health and made a living. If I had lieen in a richer coun try 1 might have made more, but here I hnvo had my health and all I wanted to eat and wear, which is enough for anv man."

The old man is quite a philosopher In his way, but acknowledges to not being very well posted hh to what Is going on. "I don't tako any papors," ho aafd, "because I am so old I can't see to read, liut I hear a good doal of news one way und another. The talk Is going through hero that Grant is going to be made Kmperor I'm opposod to th It will make another war.

hat

I assured the old gentleman there was no danger, and thought he inust have been listening to the siren song of lonio Kentucky Democrat.

The ollects of "not taking any papers" was displayed by his son-in-law who gravelv asked me If I had heart, that Now Vork City was sunk. Ho

said he had hoard about two weeks a I hut two-thirds of the city was sunk by an earthquake, and as ho had not hoird the report disputed, ho "lowed It was so. I hastened to correct him. crrii) ANl» Tit COLIC.

As I was passing along noar the State line to-day, contemplating the beauties of nature and killing borne flios, a young fellow came into tho road from a mountain path, and rodo along by my side, saying he was going my way for several miles. Ho manifested a great inclination to talk, so much so that he would bo a charming follow to Interview If a public man. lie said ho was going to pull fodder. "I get tlfty cents a day and my dinner meal thrown in," hocontiuuod. "It's warm work, this weather," I observed

I know It is," said lie, "but I like it, everything is pleasant to me now Why so?

Why. because you see, tho fact is I'm. I-'l'in married." Having disclosed tnls Important information, ho hesitated no longer, but gave me his histoiry in a fluent llow of words. "Yes," continued he, "I w.-«s married last Sunday, tiltercourtin' for seven years." indeed!"

Y* a, the old folks was agin It, and I had a world of trouble, but I am all right now. I give up the chase last vour, and went to Arkausaxv, thinking It was no use to try to get Sal when the old folks was so dead agin it. Well, I sold out my little truck and went awuv tt yonder, saying to myself that *1 would bust up this business, and not fool no longer around the gal I couldn't i«et. So I went with a lot of other 'folks, and wo settled on a river that I have forgot the name of, but it had more itgur in it than a mule could tote.

When we got out thar wo didn't have much to cat but green truck. I had the colic or ngur all tho time. Hut I wouldn't forget Sil. She was in my mind day and night, whether I had the oollc or not. I wouldn't give he ftr all Arkansaw. The people tried to cheer ntu up, and said I would soon get used to the agur. Thev didn't know it vas somethin'worse rtian nunr or colic a keeping ol uiedown. Hut one day they found it out. I was awful gloo-

After that we met at the spring often, and the old folks didn't know a thing of it, only they said it took Sal a heap longer to go to the spring than It used to. We fixed it all up. and was married last Sunday. The old folks cut up some, but Sal told 'ein to hold their grip. We're now livin' in a little house to ourselves, and—"

The Christian Union has the following cat story: My grandfather Is a very solemn and dignified man, with whom not a member of the family would presume upon taking any liberty. But when ho sits down to read in the evening, with spectacles on, looking grave as a judge, that impertinent kitten, Gabe, hovers round his chair a few minutes then starts from the toe of one of his boots, and runs nimbly up, all the way to his neck then softly slips up, and lies down on the topot his head—my grandfather's head!—and there spread out at full length, his feet hanging down behind and before, lies and looks down, in the coolest, most satisfied manner possible! And the old gentleman, neither smiling, nor seeming to notice, sits stock still, holding his head very stiffly and continues his reading, as if nothing had happened. I must say, that as I have seen them in that position, ten minutes at a time, I na wondered what any visitors, coming In for an evening call, would think, to behold the sight—that solemn man, unconcernedly sitting there, spectacles on nose, and intent upon his newspaper, with that bright eyed, Maltese kitten, spread out lazily on the top of his head! Could carelessness and impu dence go any further, I should like to know?

Some people fight as others love— "not wisely but too well." Gen. Butler, who loves discreetly, fights rashly. Perhaps, in some of his recent blows, he has wounded not only his enemies but himself. Tho over temptation of a strong man to use his strength against the weak, was painfully witnessed in his cruelty to the Springfield Republican,, and has reacted against the striker. We have a high respect for Frank Sanborn, and Gen. Butler cannot shake it. But at the same time we belieye more stiffly than ever in the solid ability, independent spirit, and radical aggressiveness of Gen. Butler. The Springfield Republican accuses the Golden Age of being the only conspicuous journal

New York that upholds Gen. Butler's claims to the governorship of Massachusetts. We nave not torgotten that, when General Butler was originally nominated to Congress, the Independent (which we then conducted) was the only conspicuous journal in New York to stand by that nomination. General Butler's triumphant election, and his subsequent noticeable career in the House of Renresontatiues, justified our course and demonstrated its wis dom. We have as much faith that we are right now, as wo have proof that were right then.—Golden Age.

Julius, a Western darkey, having landt at Chicago, saw an advertisement notifying those who wished to be clean, that they might get a good bath for a quarter, thought it would be a good idea to ask the use of them of another darkey, who said "baths were u*ed by white folks to wash in." Accordingly, Julius started, with a bun die under his arm, and being shoun into a bath-room, was loft to his ablu tions. Considerable timo elapsed, and Julius did not como forth and, after waiting ior about an hour, tho keeper of the b.iths went to tho door and screamed out "Yes, as soon as I get troo mv washing." "How long will that bet" "P'raps an hour to an hour an' half," coolly answered Julius. With that the man burst into the room, and thore, all around tho room, was the darkey's freshly-washed clothing hung up to dry but not noticing it just then, remarked: "Come, you just clear out at once you've been in over two hours!"

Look a-here," said Julius, in an enraged manner, pointing to his drying lothe«, which rather took the bathingman down, "I'd like to see you wash and hang out two dozen pieces In less time than I've been at It." In another minute Julius was landed In the street surrounded by his tailing.

Tawdry W riti no.—Thetawdrystyle of writing is ftist usurping the place of the more sensible, commonplace, in the newspapers. A reporter now-a-days rarely chronicles a "lire," or a "houseburnluB," without prefixing the stunning head-line of "tire flenu!" A railroad accident is always a "holocaust," and Us victims are enumerated under the "death-roll." A fight among a parof blackguards becomes a "carnival crime." A band of silly women shrlekers become "revolutionists." A conjuror Is a "prestidigitator," a for-tune-teller a "vatlelnator," and a horse doctor a "veterinary surgeon." This a slllv abuse of language, which has grown out of the prevalence of yellow covered novels, and it is as unwholesome in literature as it is false in taste, Isouisritle Commercial.
