QUEER RELATIONSHIP.

Not many weeks since respectable
citizen Of Saunk county, says the Republic.
married for his second wife his own step
mother, who. singularly enough. was a
sister OF his first wife. The lady is there
fore not only step-mother and aunt to her
husbands children. but also their grand.
mother, while the husband is step father
to Lis step-sister. Her issue, if any, by
this marriage, will be not only own cou-
sins to their step-mother. but uncies and
aunts also. And the lady herself. being
grand mother to her children and nephews
may be regarded as mother to herself and
child to herself. and therefore her own
grandmother! With SO many relations
ships, they ought to be good friends.

HALFINJUN. HALF INJUNEER.

Where the Engineers of the Atlantic

been engineering the grade for the road
near the head waters of the Al CHAN

grant is half mile wide on each side OF
the river and forty Eiles in length and
.'inaliennble forever" so that neither
they nor the State or Federal Govern
ment can sell even to the Rail Road COM
pany , for their track to cross il. They
cross on leased ground only. Thus this
tribe have been unlike the 'roliing stone
that gathers no moss" but have become
rich. The old chief has a very pretty
daughter, well up in her teens, aud
strange to say, about year after the
engineering commenced this forest fawn

One day the Engineer rallied the old

THAT GOLDEN TINE.

Will the golden time OF childhood ever

that it never will never tn this earth
We hear of.the "Steady tramp of-rine,
vet we are satisfied that Time runs rath
er than tramps. If thare be anything
military in the movements of Time ii
must be the Zouave trot-certainly time

grown man. The little boy is foolish, for
now he is basking in life's gladdest sun
shine if he only knew it.
We knew white haired old man
once, who had been successfully Identified
with colossal business enterprises, and
whose voice had great weight in the
management of State and National affairs.
1t was pleasant to see this good old man
of a summers evening. intently engaged
at marbles, with his grand children. up
on the village green. His intellect was
unimpaired. His mind possessed the
same crystal clearness that had made him
preeminent among men in time past. He
was not, as some who did not under
stand him asserted, in his dotage. He
was trying to WOO back the sunny time
Of his boyhood. But it would not come;
and be never ceased playing with his
grandchildren so he told us-without
feeling sadder than when he began; sad
that they could not feel that those were
their brightest days; sad, that a life OF
storms and shadows must inevitably be in
store for some of them.
Oh the happy bygone time-chiidhood S
golden hours! Gone--gone forevermore!
The youthful forms thai raced gaily in
summer time upon the village green, and
the gleeful shouts they were there SO Of
ten heard! The hopes and dreams. all
bright and starry, of that halcyon time!
They belong to the Past--they will never-
more come to us ayain--and the stern,
practical Present stares US in the face!

THE INFATUATION OF LOTTER =
les.

The Philad. lphia Press. in an article
on the lottery offices of that city, gives
the following remarkable instance Of
their fearfully deleterious effects:
In the immediate vicinity of certain
policy dealer the son of country cler-
gy,nan resided. This youth, the hope of
an estimable parent, was a journeyman
in some branch of carriage making. He
came to town with a few hundred dol
lars in cash, and the enticements of bis
neighbor over the way were soon made
known to him. Straightway he became a
patron of policies. At the first venture
he won few dollars. These he doub-
led and staked again, and lost. Again
he staked, and again lost, until more than
half of his funds were taken from him.
Made desperate by failure, but still con-
fident of success, he staked all that re-
mained, and was made penniless. His
desttution made him insane. Surviving

had no mind for work. All his energies
were concentrated upon the policies. and
the sad scene was witnessed of the err
rant lad sweeping the pavement and do
ing menial service for the man who had
robbed him. His recompensef for this de-
basement ,oos the privilege Of choosing three
numbers !gratuitoasly in the policy zst We
beheld him lately. a changed and dejec-
ted being, the weekly recipient of a small
sum from the policy dealer. He oecu-
pies the position of copyist in that wor-
thy's Office, and his wasted energies are
crazed into the single lust of winning
In few months some moneys left him
by deceased relative will be received
1t had been more direct for the dead
man to have wilIed the cash at once tc
the policy dealer. A few days ago, as
al evidence of returning mind, the son
of the clergyman begged some gentle
man to "back" him as policy dealer
To such high expectations has the child
of the Gospel herald aspired. Al.
