Quotations from Fitz Jobs new romance,
"The Shoeblack's Fate; or, Revenge Of the
Buttered Biscuit:
"SIowly, sadly passed the old man from the
threshold of the dwelling; slowly passed he
forth as the ray of the setting sun gilded
hill and dale with It's glory. Wild despair
settled like a vulure of gloom upon his ma
jestic features. The low sound of sobbing
broke upon his eyed ears. He turned and
beheld his care-worn wife, her dim eye:
believed with tears.
Wherefore these tears?" he asked in
mournful tone.
"Oh, nothing" she articulated, 'only tina
blasted Bill swats has bin and gone anc
went and tuck and broke that are chane,
how'll"

E5sThere was fellow in New York
State that asked a young lady out to ride
The young lady agreed; he drove around to
the house at the appointed time; young la
dy made her appearance dressed in the pre-
vailing fashion. Having got herself and
hoops into the cutter, the young man saw
that there was no chance for him, whereup-
on he mounted the horses back, and drove
off in triumph. Gallant young man!

LONG AGO.

When at eve | sit alone.
Thinking on the Past and Gone
While the clock, with drowsy finger,
Marks how long the minutes linger,
And the embers, dimly burning,
Tell Of Life to dust returning
Then my lonely chair around,
With quiet, mournful sosnd,
With murmur soft and low,
Come the Ghosts of Long Ago.
One by one l count them DER,
Voices that are heard no more;
Tears, that loving cheeks have wet;
Words, whose music fingers yet;
Shadowy locks Of waving hair;
Happy signs and whispers dear,
Songs forgotten many year;
Lips of dswy fragrance; eyes
Brighter, bluer than the skies
Odors breathed from Paradise.
And the gentle shadows glide,
Softly murmuring at my sid,
Till the long, unfriended day,
All forgotten, fades away.
Thus, when | am all alone, ... --s
Dreaming Ger the Past and Gone,
All around me, sad and slow,
Come the Ghosts Of Long Ago.
