APAssING WISH.
By ALICE CARY.

bf ALlCE CAM.
o for the life of q Gipsy.
A strong armed. barefoot girl;
And TO have the wind for waiting maid
To keep my hair in curl;
To bring me scent of the violet,
Aud the red rose and the pine:
And at night to spread my grassy ped
All wouldn't il be divine,
for the life of a Gypsy.
So gloriousiy free
Through the world To roam. anu 10 ilnd nome
Meath every greenwood tree;
To milk my COW in the meadow.
Wherever she CHANGED TO stand;
And to have my cornfeds planted
By every lad in the land
o for the life of Gpsy.
With the dew to fringe my gown:
And TO have the sun for sweet heart
To come and kiss ME brown;
To take each little chubby cheek
That chose and call her mine.
And teach her 10 tramp from camp 10 camp
ALI wouldn't il be deyine,
0 for the life of Gipsy!
To lie in tie lazy shade;
And to predict sweet fairings
To all the village maids
To give them caps of pretty flowers,
And shawls Of wool 80 white,
And troops of lovers to sing them songs,
At their window panes at night.
. for the life of Gipsy
To hunt the hare for play;
And to take my trap my shoulder
And HE away and away
Away to the tents by the water.
When the stars began tn shine
To my glad. wild crew, with hearts so true
All wouldn't it be divine!
o for the life ofa Gipsy!
To be up 5t the dawnng gray.
And to have my dog, like my shadow,
Besides me all the day;
To have my hat Of plated straw,
Aud a cloak of scarlet dye.
And shoot like a light through the glens at night
And make the owlets cry
Q for the life of Gipsy.
To roam the wide world through
To have the wind for a waiting maid.
And the sun for a sweetheart true;
To say to my restless conscience,
Be still you are no more mine
And to hold my heart beneath my art
All! wouldn't it be divine

George Washington, in his Inaugural ad-
dress delivered to the first Congress of the
United States, April 80, 1889, used the fol-
lowing language:
When | was first hcnored with call into
the service of my country. then OF the eve
OF an arduous struggle for it's liberties. the
light in which l contemplated my duty re-
quired that | should renounce every pecuni-
ary compensation. From this resolution
hsve iD no instance departed. And being
still under the impressions which produced
it, l must decline, inapplicable to myself,
any share in the personal emoluments which
may be indispensably included in perma-
nent provision for the Executive Department;
and must accordingly pray that the pecuni-
arv estimates for the station in which am
placed may. during nv continuance IT 1t, be
limited to such actual expenditures as the
public good may be thought to require.

SETTING OFT TREEs.-Of late years. says
the Prairie Farmer, the old way of cutting
back the limbs of trees To be planted has
been abandoned in Europe Now the limbs
are not cut back, but only such limbs remov-
ed as are too close. The middle limb md
four or five others are left in their natural
state. The second year these limbs are cut
back to about half of their length. The re-
suit is that soon after the planting in spring.
leaves appear at the top of the branches. and
by their aid new. small rootlets are generated
earlier than otherwise, and that the trees in
the second year form stronger wood than if
they had been cut back the first year.

EAYING OF THE CoRNERSSToNE OF TUE
CATHOLIC CHURcH AT, WIN0HEsTER.-
From. the last Winchester Times We copy the
following synopsis of the sermon Of the Bishop
Becker, on the recent occasion OF laying the
corner stone of the new Gathalo Church at
Winchester =
He commenced by an ezhortatioB to observe
becoming conduct upon such occasions, the
ceremony being sacred one. The church,
he said, speaks to her children in ceremonies
and symbolical language of which the rites
and insignia of divers societies are but the
borrowed representations. The cross reared
upon the walls Of the church. emblem of the
worlds redemption. foF the Saviour died on
the cross, 80. Twas the standard planted on
our shores by the -discoverer Of America
The Rt. Rev. Speaker then dwelt on the right
which the Catholic church had of being re-
spected in land dedicated hy Columbus, her

knew by whom the outrage was pcEpetrated.
1t was used we. believe by the Federals in '62
as stable, foE which oGense We believe the
Bishop at the. time excommunicatea-or at
least threatened to do so-Gen. Shields from
the Church The Southern sympathies of
the Bishop, in the late war were we learn, de-

and on this occasion was elegantly and elab>

is said to DO a man of great ability.

Life in gsxas.
From Aprivate letter to gentleman in this
place, dated Fort Concho, April 16, we are
permitted to copy the following interesting
sketch -
, arrived here this evening, after fatigue
ing but most pleasant journey Of two hundred
and forty miles, from Jacksboro' and leave
in few hours for FL Paso, distant about six
hundred miles. ] expect to return from Ell
Paso Immediately, to meet F., who will
arrive here in about twelve days. When 1
get back will haze travelled about twenty
one hundred miles by stage, without stopping
more than a few hours at time. The last
two hundred and forty miles of my journey
has been through q country destitute of habi-
tations. AT intervals Of about twenty miles
there are rude picket huts and stables, which
are used as stage stations. At these stations
there is generally one man to take care OF the
mules, and five or six negro soldiers to guard
in a small open buggy drawn by two mules |;
the driver and myself constitute the passenger
list. Each team travels about forty miles, at
the rate of six miles an hour. The mules are
of the "Bronco," or wild Mexican stock

you state that the freight on wheat from JEFF
