The INCEST Kind of "Croquet."

The evening was bright with the moon of May,
And the lawn was light as though lit by day
From the windows looked-to see Croquet
OF malets and balls the usual display: 600
The hoops all stood in arch array, ASA tsf5 :.
And said to myself, ''soon we'll see Croquet."
But the mallets and balls unheeded lay, f
And the maid and the youth side by side sat they,
And thought to myself, is that Croquet? t
| saw the scamp--it was light as day 8
Put his arm round her waist in loving way,
And he squeezed her hand Was that Croquets
While the red rover rolled forgotten away, -
He whispered all that lover should say,
And he kissed her lips-avhot queer Croquetl
Silent they sat meath the morn of May;
But knew by her bushes she said not Nay,
And thought in my heart, now that's Croquet

this epistle in the Office of the agent, who had
considerably turned his back while the unhappy
victim was learning of his wasted affection and
cash. The silence continued so long that the
agent at length turned to offer what little conso-
Iaton was in his power. But he was spared the
task. The hopeless young man had noiselessly de-
parted-possibly TO take the first train for Penn

meeting of the shareholders of this new
enterprise was held at Metropolitan Hall
on Monday night, but owing to the incle-
mency of the weather the attendance was
limited, and it was deemed expedient to
postpone the organization until future
occasion. Mr.. George W. Willis was
chosen chairman of the meeting, and Mr..
C. A. Brockmcyer secretary. Some very
appropriate remarks were made upon the
subject of finance by Mr.. Willis and Mr.Wil-

adjourned to assemble again at the same
place Oh Monday night next. We are re-
qucstcd to urge the attendance of every
shareholder, with view to the adoption of
the constitution and bylaws, and perma-

THE DIFFICULTY At re PosT-ORFICE.-
The following statement in regard to the
difficulty at the post-ofiice on Saturday
night has been handed us for publication.
We know nothing ourselves In regard 70
the matter, but feel it due to the clerks OF
the post office to say that we have never
known more courteous and obliging gen.
tlemen, nor any who discharged their du-
ties moro faithfully:
81" On Saturday, when there were only
one or two clerks remaining in the Office,
and whilst all were attending to their re-
spective duties, person came to the box
delivery, and, after knocking unnecessarily
long and loud at one Of the boxes, very ab-
ruptly called for box which did not be-
long to the firm which he represented, and
after receiving it, refused to take 1t; and
again knocking, ordered the clerk in Q very
uncivil and imperative manner to give him
his mail, using, at the same time, abusive
language unbecoming gentleman when,
being demonstrated with by the clerk, i'm
mediately struck him through the bars;
and he not wishing to provoke a quarrel in
the office, another clerk went outside to re-
with the intention Of Gre
atine any disturbance-when the man sud-
denly struck him without any provocation,
at the same time repeating his former Ian
guage. A few words more passed, when
they were separated by their friends. No
clerk witnessed the quarrel, and only be-
came aware that there was any trouble I'm
til after it was ended. The reports in two OF
the city papers were incorrect and exag-
gerated in the extreme" 80

ton authorized the abolition Of the Board,
but made its appointment, originally obi
catory on the Legislature. The last Legis-
lature had failed to discharge its duty, and
had left the governor, the auditor, and tire a
surer the Board of Public Works, Just as
the Legislature Of 1862 had provided. The
Constitution plainly indicated that the
Board should be elected with reference TO
their fitness and to their views OF the m
ternal improvement policy of the State.
II was intended that they should come
fresh from the people, understanding and
rejecting their views. But the present
Board held its authority on no such grounds.
The Governor was elected with reference
to his politics and his popularity. The An-
ditor was chosen for his acquaintance with
figures and the order Of accounts. The
Treasurer, for his familiarity with matters
of finance. The Governor came from
Alexsndria-the Auditor from Richmond
the Treasurer from the northern part OF
the Valley. In no respect was the recog-
nized policy of the State displayed in
making them the Board of Public Works.
Besides, there was no representative IN
this Board from the great Southwest, whose
resources he spoke of as unlimited, and
whose interest in the subject Of improve
ments was very great. The mode of APP
pointing the Board under the Constitution
was wise. 1t prevented the accidental
residence Of two or the whole OF the mem
beers in one locality, for whose asgrandize-
ment they might Cypress the whole State.
The present Board, if the requirements of
tho Constitution were complied with,
would not be here to-day sitting. in juds-
ment upon this debate. tf.s-
With these views, Mr.. Staples remon-
strated against any action on the part of
the Board, introducing new principles, not
before adopted in the State, affecting
seriously the corporate relations of the
railroads and the general system OF inter
nal Improvement of the State. He
trusted that the Board, situated as it was,
would make no change at this time which
was not contemplated in the charters of
the railroads. That was matter that
should he left entirely to the Legislature.
He concluded by expressing the earn
est, belief that consolidation would
be the means of odious and oppressive dis
ordinations and injury to corporations not
included in the consolidated line. There
fore he was most decidedly opposed t" it,
while he awarded the credit of sincerity
and good intentions to its advocates.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Staples's
speech the Board adjourned. There are
several other gentlemen who, propose to
discuss the subject, and/the Board dis
plays desire to hear them fully out.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.-At a recent
meeting of the members Of Union Station
Methodist Church resolution was adopt
ed asserting to the action of the General
Conference providing for the introduction
OF lay delegates into the councils OF the
church: and another in regard to the
change of name to " Episcopal Methodist
modestly but firmly" refusing to assent
to the proposition of the Conference in this
particular. One of the principal reasons
urged against the proposed change is that
the name OF Methodist Episcopal" has
been hallowed and endearcd to the mem
bers of the church by the memories and
associations Of over twenty years. 1t is,
however, declared in another resolution
that while the above mentioned opinions
are freely expressed, the members of Union
Station Church pledge their loyal acqui--
escence in whatever may be determined
by those to whom these questions shall be
referred. The resolutions, which were al.
most unanimously adopted, are signed by
X. J. Christian, Hiram Oliver, and A. W.
Richardson, committee; and +. p. Hud-
gins, secretary.
