The PAsr.-Oh how many beautiful pictures
are framed in the past, and hung up iD the halls
of memory. The star of hope may rise high
and shine bright, and fling its radiant beams far
into the future, but the past is all our own. Its
youthful scenes are fresh and fair as May morn
ing. The scenes of early school-boy days dance
before US like sunbeams on the ripping stream
that hurries down the hillside to meet the rush
ing waters in the vale. And how many familiar
faces of romping boys and ros y-faced girls, seem
to look upon US once more, all radiant with the
glee of heartfelt merriment The playground,
the old school-house springs up before u.s. and
almost hear the shouts of old, they
chase each other, each one doing his hest to take
and not he taken. And do we not hear as of
old the wild outbreak of boisterous merriment
when the fugitive falls in his fight, and the pur-
suer tumbes over him? Those were happy
days and they teach US an important lesson of
leniency to youth. But the recollections of ripper
years are somewhat mingled with sorrow and
sadness, sunshine and storm. Perhaps friend
we dearly loved was missed from social gather
ings, for death had claimed him or her for his
unwilling victim, and chilled the warm heart of
true friendship in his cold embrace. But this
could not long damp the srdor of manhood s
vigorous maturity, for life is like journey, and
some must be left at the depot Of the destroyer.
The pace of onward progress was only sackened
for a moment by the sad and solemn event. But
here comes a caution, and with its silent finger
warns us to desist. So let us hang up this pic
ture in some shadowy room of dim recollection,
lest we spoil the beauty of earlier scenes sketch
ed by the fairy hand of fond imagination.

fair somnambulist In Quincy, Illinois, walked some dis
tance her sleep and night dress and snugy ensconed her
sernatiou when daylight revesd the situation but cler-
gyman made 1t all right.-ErehaaSe.
Now that "fair somnambulst" may have been
asleep. We can't swear she wasn't, but we
wouldn't like to bet high on it. "The clergy
man made it all right" did he? Well perhaps
he did, but we don't see it. Anyway its q
frightful precedent, and one calculated to carry
CONSERVATION to the souls of all bachelors who
want the privilege of having their own wishes
and tastes consulted before changing their con-
ditions. Just think of the consequences of act
ing upon this principle How dangerous the
eligible young men living in families where there
are unmarried females matrimonially inclined
as they are all said to be. careless youth
goes to bed and forgets to lock his door, en-
terprising female takes advantage of it, and
snaps him up before morning by this new-fangled
invention, this horrible process of matrimony
made easy" Desperate old maids wouldn' I
probably be content to wait for such a chance.
They would provide themselves with skeleton
keys, and gracious heavens what skillful bur-
glars they would make with such a prize in
view. No good-looking and well-to-do single
man under sixty would be safe, unless he slept
in patent safe and locked himself in with a
combination key. Even then, the lock might be
blown off with gunpowder oy some determined
female desperate. And all these things would
of course be perpetrated under the pretence OF
somnambulism. Every spinister, and every un-
married female of marriagenble age would sud
denly become an afflicted somnambulst. Board
ing-school Misses would take to sleep-walking as
naturally as a duck takes to water, and every
young male teacher would run the risk of wax
ing up some morning and finding himself pro-
vided with a partner for life. The more we re-
feet upon this somnambulic incident, the deeper
becomes our conviction that the weak-minded
hero of the story who sent for a minister 'and
made it all right" set most dangerous and
rrprehensible example. There is no telling
what mischief will come of it. Meantime we
advise all bachelors who want to maintain their
liberty to bolt their doors, and search their
closets and wardrobes mot fogetting to look un-
der the bed) before retiring.-San Franeisco

VoLNEY E. HOWARD closes his late letter with
the following suggestions :-"1 differ with the
Examiner as to who is the most judicious friend
Of the Democratic party in this matter: the one
who would expose the corruption and let the
punishment fall on the guilty parties, or be who
would make the whole party assume it by en-
deavoring to smuggle it up by party acton.
There IS but one course for the Democratic party
TO extricate itself from this dilemma aud that Is
BY facing the music and doing its duty ooiois

Who will Have Influence with
General Grant?

There is great deal of specula-
ton on this subject, justnow. Some
people think that Mr.. E. B. Wash
burne will control him: some say
that he is in frequent and confiden-
tial correspondence with Mr.. A. L.
Stewart, the dry goods man; some
say that General Rawlins is all
powerful with him : and others that
General Badeau wields a wonderful
influence.
We have been frequently asked
what we think about the matter,
and to save the trouble of further in
7quiry we may as well state our
views.
On one occasion, when General
Graut was riding with US behind
Peerless" he quietly remarked !:
"I should Ike to take hold Of the
reins.''
Now we rather think General
Grant will hold the reins himself
the next four years. He has been
elected President, and he will be
President.
1t is true that he has said that he
should only carry out the will of the
people, as declared by the laws OF
Congress but then he will carry it
out. We shall have an Admins
tration. He will do his duty and
men under him will have to do their
duty. .--
Therefore, we conclude that the
most influential man with the Ad-
ministration, for the next four years,
will be Ulysses S. Grant.-Neu

A Romance in Real Life.

Several years ago young lady in
Tezewell county was wooed by young
man. He obtained her consent and the
consent OF the old folks, but three days
before the wedding she took freak in
to her head and..went .off and married
another man. The,.ssyoung man was
heart-broken, and packed up his effects
and went to New York city. There he
hid his grief, buried himself in busi-
ness, and engaged in speculation, was
successful and became wealthy. A
younger sister of the girl thas had jilt-
ed him, moved by sympathy commence
ed 4 correspondence with him to en-
deavor to mitigate his sorrow. The cor
respondence became interesting. The
young girl grew up, and as years rolled
on ripened into a great beauty. The
sight of her photograph awakened in
the young mans bosom the love that he
had supposed forever, and he proposed
to her and was accepted. Her father
was a widower and was anxious to get
married himself as soon as his daughter
was out of the way, so he urged the
match forward. The means of the lov-
er now admitted brilliant wedding,
and preparations were made for it,
They were to be married last Wednes-
day in style, and start Immediately for
New York city. A few days ago the
expected bride received letter from
her betrothed, stating that he had en-
tered into speculation that would keep
him in the city, so that he could not
possibly be with her at the time ap-
pointed, and asking her to delay the
ceremony for a day or two. He also
| referred to the time when he expected
to be united to her sister. Provoked to
| think that he still remembered his for
mer love, the your g lady wrote him in
a passion. and setting down at the same
time wrote to cousin of hers, farmer
i'll Iowa, who had long loved her, telling
him that she had broken her engage
ment,relating the circumstances to him,
and ending by saying that she was all
ready to be married, aud if he would
come and be there at the time set foT
the wedding she would marry him.
He complied. Her betrothed in New
York, astonished to receive her letter
closed up his business as best he could
and came to Tazeweli county by the
next train. He reached the village
whers she lived, and was fastening uI
to the house to fulfil his engagement;
when he was met by some ofhis friend
and told that his bride had just been
married to another man. He tainted
away on the spot and was takan up to
the hotel. When the bride heard of it
she was overwhelmed with remorse, but
it was then too late. She was legally
married to her cousin. The New York
er, twice heart t-broken,left for his home
without seeing her, and she passed
through this city yesterday on her way
to an Iowa farm, looking very detected
and like anything but q bride.-Peorio
