A writer, whose life has passed its meridian.
thus discourses upon the fight Of time:
"Forty years once seemed long and weary
pilgrimage to make. It now seems but step.
And yet along the way are broken shrines
where thousand hopes have wasted into ashes;
footprints sacred under their drifting dust,
green mounds where grass Is fresh with the
watering of tears; shadows even which We
would not forget. I'VE will garner the sunshine
Of those years, snd with chastcned steps and
hopes, push on toward the evening whose sig
nal lights will soon be seen swinging where the
waters are still and the storms never beat"

ASSAULT AND BATTERY CAsEs.-Yesterday.
BENJAMIN Cudiip and Geo. W. Cudlip, father
and son, appeared before Justice Bates to
answer a charge of assault and battery on JOS
z. Shellenn, SON in law of Mr.. 3. Cudlip. The
case being altogether = family quarrel, the
justice required the parties to give bail for
peace.
DIR. r. p. Darby was arrested this morning
by officer Grown, for assault and battery on
Hugh Lockery- Justice Kinsey tried the case.
The plaintiff is boy, and was employed by
DIR. Darby to paste up han d. bills for him, and
he alleges that, after working nearly week,
was discharged without pay. The boy went
to the doctors office, on Seventh street. near E,
to get his pay, and the doctor pushed him
Gown the sHps. Justice Kinssy held the doctor
to bail for peace. The boy warranted for his
pay, ard got judgment for $3.50, which the
doctor paid promptly.
