The NEW BoHNET After Governor
Glmer, of Georgia, returned from office,
he went to his old home in Lexington. -
He had penchant for old irons, such as
plough shares. old carriage iro"s, s'i"'l-
stone cranks, old shovels, and the odds
and ends of plantation tools. Attending
the sales of estates, he accumulated an or
cart load or two of such stuff, which he
dumped down in corner of his yard near
his dwelling, very much to the annoyance
OF his wife, The pile kept increasing
She determined TO make away with it, and
one day Sheriff 5 sale day. sent it to the
court yard with the knowledge Of the
Sheriff, who loved joke to be SOLD to
the highest bidder. Governor Gilmer that
morning rode out of town mile or two,
and was returning as the Sheriff was pro-
ceeding with bis sales. Catching the eye
of the Governor, who was looking on, he
pointed out to him the lot Of old iron, and
requested him to make a bid for them.
"Good," said Governor Gilmer, " l will;
| have some pieces at home that will match
exactly, | bid ten dollars for them"
cn NOlidlS teH uOiidfs. IcpfdIcu
the Sheriff (nobody bids more -" They
are ours, Governor"
Delighted with the purchase, he paid
ten dollars, and left them 10 the yard for
future movement. The Sheriff paid the
ten dollars TO Mrs. Gilmrr In few DAYS
she bought handsome bonnet, and the
Governor, admring it very much, said:
My DEAR where did you get that pref
ty bonnet? 1t is beautiful and becomes
YOU
Don't it, husband, don't it! | bought
it with the ten dollars you paid for your
cwn old iron trash"
The Governor wilted-he was sold by
his own wife.
But time cured the chagrin. and the
good Governor had frequently to juir in
the laugh at his expense over this little
incident.

"OLD TIMES. +"

Here is an exquisite poem, which appeared in tn
Chicago Journal ard is probably from the pen {
B. F. Taylor
There's a beauteous song on the slumbrous air,
That drifts ,Lr4 ugh the valley of dreams
It comes from a cline where the roses were,
And a tuneful b, art and bright brown hair,
That waves iu the NOR ming beams.
Soft eyes Of azure and eyes Of brown,
And snow white foreheads are there
A gimmering Cross and glittering Crown,
A thoruy bed and a couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets Of prayer
A breath of Spring in the breezy woods,
Sweet watts from the quiVering pines
Blue violet eyes beneath green hoods,
A bubble Of brookltts, scent of buds,
Bira warblers and elambering vines.
A rosy wreath and dimrlod hand,
A ring and sighted VOW
Three golden links Of 4 broken band,
tiny track ON the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless brow.
There's t;ncture of grief in the beautiful son,
That sobs on the s,umbrous air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng,
Sinks down on the soul as it trembles along,
From cimc where the were.
We heard il frs at the Gawn of day,
And it mingled with matiu chimes,
But years haze distanced the beautiful lay,
Add its melody fowereth from far away,
And we call it now Old Times.
