THE MEMPHIS AND CHARLESTON RAIL
ROAD COMPANY.

The Thirteentb Annual Report of the DI-
rectors of this excellent road, which has just
reached us, in pamphlet form, induces us to
refer to its general operations during the past
year as subject which cannot but be of inter-
est to our citizens, who have over half million
of dollars invested in its capital stock.
Causes, which no human foresight could
guard against, i. e., the general loss of crops
in the summers of 1866 and 1866, and the dis
astrous freshets of 1867, have dwarfed the
business of the Company and destroyed prop
erty equal to the usual seven per cent. dlvl-
dend on its capital stock; butboth causes com
bined have not interfered with the payment OF
interest on all of its bond debt, and the placing
of its finances in such condition as to enable
the Direction to look forward with reasonable
certainty to a future full of promise to their
stockholders and to the general business COM
munity to which this centrally located, main
trunk road is conspicuous link in an all-rail
line of 1855 miles between Charleston and the
Mississippi River, at Memphis.

We sit by the window. my baby and l,
In the fading sunset light,
Watching the darkness creep over the sky,
Out Of the eastern night:
We see the stars come trembling out
In the track ofthe fallen sun,
And we feel the quiet, within and without,
That comes when the day is done.
What have we been doing, all day, all day,
Since the rosy morning smiled?
Playing at work and working at play;
God help US, mother and child;
But much fear that those little hands
Have put me to shame to day;
For God, who is earnest understands
Truly our work and play.

Scattered along my way:

You have not learned regret
For the sorrowfGl years that make rs wise
Have not come to my baby yet.
And still. as I sit in this twilight hour,
Atthe close Of a weary day,
Even sorrow and sin do not quite have power
To keep blessing away
A blessing that falls like dew from the heaven
On the parched and thirsty ground;
And in loving much, because much forgiven,
Ny deeper peace is found.

And mine Is growing old;

ONE evening a father rather addicted
to occasional hard drinking, was hearing
his little johnny recite his Sunday school
lesson. 1t was from the fourteenth chap
ter of Matthew, wherein is related the
parable Of the malicious individual who
went about sowing tares, &c.
" What is a tare ?" the parent inter-
rupted to enquire.
Johnny hesitated
" Tell me, my son tell me what a tare
is"

casting down his eyes and Wiggling his
foot.
"Had emf said the astonished parent
opening his eyes rather wide, Why, what
do you mean, JOhnny?"
" When you didn't come home for
three days last week, said Johnny, {" I
heard mother tell Aunt Susan that YOU
was off on a tear"
The Sunday school was brought to an
abrupt close, and Johnny, who knew too
much altogether to sit up any later, was
sent off to bed,
