Behold the rocks. how odd their flight
They initiate the gliding kite,
And seem precipitate to fall,

Nor heed the trav'Iler passing by
In fiery red the slra doth rise.

Twill surely rain, we sect with sorrow,
No working in the fields tomorrow.

They drove over to DraytOn, the

there, after a warm bath and good

when she woke up next morning her

THE DRUXKARD'S DAUGHTER
BY g. W. BUNGAY.

Out on the street with the naked feet,
saw the drunkard' s little daughter;
Her tattered shawl was thin and small,
She little knew, Tor no one taught her
Her skin was fair, her auburn hair
Was blown about her pretty forehead;
Her sad, white face wore sorrows trace
And want and woe that were not borrowed
HeGrt-broken child, she seldom smiled,
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow,
Or, il its light flashed on her pight,
Then up came darker clouds of sorrow.
She softly said: ave have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire a burning"
The child was i'll, the winds so chill,
Her thin, cold blood 10 ice was turning.
But men well fed and warmly clad,
And ladies robed in richest fashion,
Passed on the side where no one cried
To them for pity or compassion.
Lone fed that night and then the light
OF rosy day in beauty shining,
Set dome and spire and roof on fire,
And shone ON one beyond repining.
Asleep-alOne-as cold as stone,
Where no dear parent ever sought her,
In winding sheet OF snow and sleet,
Was found the drunkard's lifeless daugteI

GOIden Fetters.

We were recently shown novel
chain made entirely of $40 gold pieces,
all Of the coinage of 1869. 1t was
made for a singular purpose. Some
fifteen years ago man named Clark
was sent to The State Prison from
New Haven by order of the Superior
Court. He had been convicted of
murder, but it was proved that he was
insane at the time he committed the
deed; so he was only confined to
await the further orders of the Court.
During all this time he has conducted
himself in harmless manner, spend
ing his time in light work and cary
ing trifes, but no efforts have been
made for any other disposition of him
until recently, when the matter was
taken up by Mr.. H 2. Dorsey, of
Pawtucket, r. l., known as the Con-
vict's Friend, who has made applica-
ton for his release. The case has
been taken in charge by Hon. f. K.
Foster, formerly State Attorney for
New Haven county, who appeared be-
fore Judge Pardee at the Superior
Court in this city to-day. Mr.. Dor
sey intended that Clark should be
brought into Court bound with the
golden chain above referred to, but it
was found that his presence was not
necessary. No time has yet been set
tied upon for a hearing of the case.
The chain is composed of siXty-siX
$40 gold pieces-that number, Mr..
Dorsey says, representing the number
of words in the Lords prayer. They
are all bright new coins, fresh from
the mint, and have never been used.
They are fastened together with small
golden links. The value Of the chain
is 81 $40, outside of the work and the
Hartford Times.
In saloon in New York, on Friday
evening, 7th inst, John G. Heenan
was playing at "a casino" tableagainst
Con. Fitzgerald. Suddenlya disputes
arose between the card-players, which
quickly eliminated in Fitzgerald
wildly jumping up, and planting his
dexter digit on Heenan's frontispiece.
Heenan arose in his seat and shot out
his famous sleft dukep twice OH Fitz-
gerald's right eye, swelling it to an
enormous size, and keeling him over
OF the floor Heenan then dropped
his cards, and was about to spring for
ward to administer further punish
ment; but the crowd interposed and
pinned him against the wall, until
Fitzgerald had time to gather himself
up and dart out of the door.
PLEASING THE LADIES
years ago, Broadway, New York, was
regularly patrolled by beggar who
asked aims of no other passers-by eX-
cent old ladies To these he addressed
himself thus:-"O! yO1Hg lady have
pity on poor beggar." Hewas sing
.ularIy successful in his appeals. In re-
ply to an inquiry he explained his
success thus:-"YOu see, sir, my plan
pleases all the ladies. Some of 'em
believe me, and are pleased by the
compliment. Others see it's all a
sham, and they are tickled 10y the joke;
so you see ] get something from all Of
'em."
