shadows.

Shadows, little dark reflections of ourselves
(I would fain say inner sslves,) that strangely
keep pace with US, ever following, by night and
by day. that gather themselves up into solid
shapes and haunt our footsteps, dancing around
our pillow, in always recsding and shostly dim.
ness, ever passing away, swiftly away in twi.
light scenes, leaving naught but the thin air to
substantiate their being Shadows that .wine
around the heart, and haunt it of former days,
weaving some bright, beautiful visions with a
spell Of their own darkness, to throw back a
reproach on memory. Shadows that lightly ding
a veilof mist in the eye tired of gazing SO wea'
ri,y into the still untold future and the shad>
ow that creeps, oh so stealthily around the
heart held by Standardization, to screen from
the worlds ey e, vainly thinking to wrap up the
darker thoughts all away from conscience. The
shadows that so quickly elude us but to dance
away in mockery, leave their impress upon the
heart while memory runs far away TO youth
and digs up her treasure of Joyous sunshine,
from all the gathered shadows of years, and
comes laughing back in her majestic sweetness.
Is there a shadow thatripples upa darker shade
shan all the rest on the fast ebbing river of life
folding in its still gliding wing, a halt regret,
painful lingering doubt, or some unrealized
dream of forgotten joyl Is it the voice OF that
shadow that speaks to US, or is it the answering
echo Of the hearth Surely, heard wave of
air fold the sound ,and wait it far away, back to
childhood's hours. Oh, yes, VIII bio glad troup
OF shadows nightly assemble in the labraynthi-
an chamber OF the mind, each telling its tale,
each wearing some dreamy recollection all its
own. They come to US SO silently in the dead
stiffness of the night that we are all unconscious
till we feel their very presence. Night in all its
deep untoned hours. cogitates up the weird shad'
ows of age, bringing it forth from its dark hiding
place, viewless thing. Oh, indeed, when the
last act of the closing draaa of life is done when
the spirit is biddingi!s final farewell to its earth
ly and decaying home, then is it, all the long,
by-gone years come rolling back with their
thickly clustering shadows, borne away on the
old circling wing of time, TO the isle of long
ago" Day, busy, living, passing day. leaves
its shadow-the darby curtained night. Life,
bright, beautiful but deeting, folds It's shallow
around death, and lays it away in the STILL silent
grave. And It is ever thus All our brigtes,
hopes and gayest dreams are but shadows.

emphaticaliy amid a flourish OF trumpets ito the
tune of Hail Columbia We were agreeably
surprised to fnd eight of the larger male pupils,
each with a beautiful brass instrument, in hand,
discoursing music of the most patriotic kind un-
der the direction of their excellent teacher Mr.
Campbel; the female pupils joined in tn en-
thusiastic song, while two of their number pre-
sided at the piano. every key trembling at the
touch of their well trained fingers. And the Ill
tie boy of about eight must not be forgotten,
who with big bass drum kept the whole III
time.
The recitation which followed were excellent,
showing very marked proficiency of the pu-
pills in reading, writing, geography. arithmetic,
algebra and other studies, the whole being in>
terspersed with music sacred and secular
The hour closed with the recitation by the little
drummer, of that most touching poem OF Park

The MONEY IN THE TREAsURY.-Our
newly installed State Treasurer, MIR
Hastings, in reply to q query from the
editor of the Patriot, thus describes the
money which makes up the sum of 1924,
224,2S, transferred to him by his prede-
cessor:
OF this amount, 1891 was in postage
stamps: S2,457,S6 in gold and silver
coin and the balance, $l2l, 760,55, IL
notes of the various banks of this State,
and among these notes was package
containing $4,000 of the Wisconsin
Valley Bank These last mentioned
notes had evidently, from their appear
ance, never been in circulation. Twen-
ty-fve thousand dollars ofthe bonds de-
posted as security for these notes, were
issued by the State of Missouri, TO the
Pacific Railroad Company, on the 18th
day of December, 1857. They were
registered by the Auditor of that State
on the same day. On the 2sth day OF
the same month, they were assigned, at
St Louis, by the President of the Pacific
Railroad Company and on the 3lSt
were registered in the Bank ComptTol-
ler's office ofthis State, as security for
the issues of the Wisconsin Valley
Bank.
On the afternoon of Wednesday, the
9th inst, l received for record in this Of
fee a descriptive list of notes delivered
By the Bank Comptroller to said Wis
consin Valley Bank.
This looks like Gerry "sbarp practice"
and we should like to hear the explana-
ton of it.

Losses BY FIRE IN THE Z. S.-A tab
ular statement of the fires in the United
States, where the value of the property
destroyed exceeded $4,000, in the New
York Heraid, shows that up to the 25th
of December there has been go ofthese
fires, and the average loss was $l5,792,
600. In 1856, there were 227 fires, ag-
gregate loss SIS, 10000. The loss in
December has been much less than in
any other month, namely, S485,000.
Add to the above amount of property
destroyed by fires, where in each in
stance the loss was less than twenty
thousand dollars, and the aggregate
would be increased to probably twenty
seven millions in 1856, and to twenty
millions in 1857.
