s@~ Not along ago a wren in the
vicinity of Reading, Pa, com.
menced building her nest on the
projecting part of car in which
the coupling pin is fast, on one OF
the cars which run from Reading
to Allentown. The cars remains
over night at the East Pennsylva-
MIA shops, and makes daily trips to
Allentown. The wren laid the
first egg in her nest about a week
ago. The egg was removed by one
of the employees; the nest was not
disturbed, however. Another egg
was deposited last Friday. The
bird remains upon the nest until
the car is coupled. when she flies
to the roof and takes a survey OF
what is going on. The car travels
about seventy miles daily, but at
night the little wren knows where
to find her nest and sits upon it.

THE LATE WILLIAM J. MINOR

From the Turf, Field and Farm,
of October 23d, we extract the fol
lowing beautiful and deserved trib-
ute to the late Capt. VIM. j. Minor,
of Louisiana, whose death robbed
the turf of one of it's brightest Or
naments:
Some of the most graceful con-
tributions to the turf literature OF
America are traced to the pen of
Capt. VIM. j. Minor. Before the
war he occupied prominent posi-
ton in the racing world, having
the means to crafty his love of the
royal sport. But the war swept
away much of his property, and
his face was less frequently seen at
the prominent turf gatherings. If
we mistake not, his last visit to the
Atlantic States was a little over
three years ago. Jerome Park was
then in course of construction, and
we remember standing with him
on the hill where now is located the
club house, and looking down into
the valley where the laborers were
at work. Capt. Minor, at the time
spoke warmly of the enterprise Of
Mr.. Jerome, and trusted that the
completion of the Park would in
augurate brighter era of the turf.
The kindly-faced old man lived to
see his hope realized, but we be-
lieve he was never present at one
of the meetings of the American
Jockey Club. Capt. Minor was one
of the most valued of the many
valuable contributions to the col
umns of the Turf, Field and Farm.
His last letter appeared in our
issue of September 10. The non
de plume adopted for the occasion
was "Redlander, and our readers
will remember that in that article
he recalled many pleasant remin-
iseenees of the past, besides COM
ment somewhat severely ON the
Bayonet Vauxhall disfirace at Sar-
atoga. We were promised a series
of articles under the signature of
"Redlander," but alas! death has
caused the promise to be broken.
To Concord, the old family seat
of the Minors, near Natchez, the
remains of this distinguished son of
the South were carried, and there
laid to rest. Friends wept over the
calm, cold face, and his servants,
once his slaves, thronged around
his bier with sad lamentations,
thus attesting the love they bore
their old master, who had ever
treated them with so much kind
ness. One by one the veteran and
staunch supporters of the turf are
dropping from the ranks, and we
who pursue the phantom of pleas
ure, pause in the giddy rush to pay
passing tribute to their memory
Soon the most light-hearted of us
will feel the shadows closing
around us, and the world slipping
from beneath our feet. Well, lei
the curtain fall; at least, we then
shall be free from "the fever of the
Odds" and will hope to sleep as
now sweetly sleeps our friend
Captain William j. Minor.

Our goet's Corner SeIeetea
TO Mf MOTHER.

BY EpwABD f. MoREHEAD.
--
I've been sick and suffering, mother,
And thy image filed my mind
With the olden Thoughts of childhood,
Now so far-ob, ifar behind!
Once again smiling urchin,
Rosy-cheeked AID bright and gay:
In thy lap my boy head rested
At the twilighticlose Of day.
While thy gentle fingers, mother,
Smoothed my Hanged, wanton hair;
And thy lips in music murmured.
Snatches from some olden air,
Till my weary eye-lids dropping,
Closed upon the hcaying world,
And my rowing mind III slumber
All its boyisli fancies furled.
But wake-how different, mother,
Is the scene upon my view!
Time has grit my frame with manhood,
Aud I'm far, oh, far from you!
Battling meath my country's banner,
Shells and bullets passed me by;
Bnt disease, with bony fingers,
Marks me out, perhaps, to die.
Friends in whispers tell me, mother,
Death has marked me for his own,
AND Ihey sign tnat uhus So carry
Youth must hush its merry tone.
Little would my spirit sorrow
Even at SO stern fate,
Vert thou nigh me, to console me. Z
Ere cross the mystic gate.
When the tale shall reach you, mother
How my young heart beats no more,
Say, oh say, you'd not forget me,
As was in days of yore. Z
Teach at times, my little sister
To repeat her brothers name,
Which, to bear unstained and spotless,
Was his bosom's dearest aim.
And when on life's ocean, mother,
Your bark, too, shall touch the shore,
Where so early mine has stranded,
We shall meet to part no more.
In the light of life eternal,
Grief shall melt away in joy;
God shall give new pleasures, mother,
Which no evil shall destroy.

@ A recently appointed post
mistress, at a Post Office on the
Plains, sends her first quarterly re-
port to the department with the
following foot note: "For weeks
past / have slept with a six-shooter
by my bedside and carving knife
under my pillow, expecting at
break o'day the Indians would
come for my scalp; but all of this
has not been half so harrassing to
my mind as the making out of one
quarterly report"
