THE LONG AGO.
BY r. p. TAYLOR.


OH wonderful stream is the river OF Time,
As il glides through the realm of tears,
With faultless rythm and a musical rhyme.
And broader sweep and surge sublime.
And blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters are drifting, like flakes o,
snow,
And Tie summer like buds between.
And the year is the sheaf-so they come and
they 90
ON the rivers breast, with its ebb and fioa.
As ii glides through the shadow and sheen.
There's a magical isle up the river OF Time.
Where the soitest airs are playing;
There's a eloudless sky and a tropical cline
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are staying.
And the name Of this isle is the Long Am.
And Te bury our treasures there;
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms of sno,,-
Ihere are heaps OF dust, but we loved them so,
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There are fragments Of song that nobody sings
And part of an infant prayer;
There's lutte unswept, and a harm without
strings;
There are broken vows, and pieces of rings
And the garments that she used TO wear
There are hands that are waved when the l,iry
shore
By the mirage Is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent
roar,
sweet voices we heard in the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh! remembered for aye be the blessed isle.
All the day Of our life, TIL night
"hen the evening comes, with it, beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile
May that Greenwood" Of soul be in sight.

OUR COMING GIRL.-The following
communication to the Chronicle speaks
for itself:
EDITOR CHRONICLE:-TTnder tba con
ton OF Nerve vs.. Muscle" the follow
ing editorial paragraph appeared in the
issue of Tuesday:
Mrs. Stanton says the nerve of the
Coming Girl will be superseded nv
muscle. Now, as nerve is the nearest
tangible approximation yet found to
mind, and as muscle is the symbol of
mere brute strength, does Mrs. SIS nra-
dictiOn argue well for the inteIlectuaIity
of orr Coming Girl ?"
Muscle is to the nervous system what
the foundation is to a house. Women
are too nervous to-day for sustained
mental action. All other things BEING
equal, the larger the brain the more
muscular power; the greater the man or
woman. Daniel Webster, one of tbe
greatest men of our times, was n LARGO
man with great physical as we'll as
mental strength, his brain weighing 42
ounces Francis Power Cobbe. Who
stands high in the literary world i'm
England, weighs 800 pounds. So have
no Tears, Mr.. Chronicle, that when once
girls throw aside high heels. naniers
chignons, corsets, and exercise the in
allenable rights of deep breathing and
easy lOcomotion, that they will lose any
of their intellectual capacities or spirif-
ual attractions by a strong physical de-
velOpment.

The Hail and Roweu.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial writes:
The only cool place in town is the Jail,
and this brings me to the point of ask
ing what in PHYS sake induced Bowen
to urge his application for a pardon at
such season. He was very foolish for
doing it; he was good deal better off in
jail with nothing to do but to drink ju-
leps with friends, and nothing to think
of except the poor devils with one wife
apiece toiling in the hot sun to get liv.
ing. Look at it moment like a Chris.
tian. Here is a man honored by his fel-
low-citizens to a seat in Congress-so
his love of fame is glorifed. He has
three wives-so his love of vanity is
gratifed, and monotony does not weary
him. He is furnished with free board e
so the necessity of personal exertion is
taken away from him. He is furnished
with the coolest quarters in the city, and
is given unlimited time for reflection,
"and yet he is not happy" Does he
pine for more wives2 Does he desire
again to enter the vortex of politics and
sweat himself2 Does he desire again to
rush into the hot sun and cheat some
body out of a living? Does he want to
forego juleps and the reflections they
bring2 If not, what in the name OF the
man below induced him to make such a
stir about getting a pardon?

Death of the Double Baby-Ome
Head Outlives the Other.


From the Boston Post, July 1871
We mentioned in our columns yester
day the presence in Boston of a most
remarkable child, the offspring Of Joseph
and Ann E. Finley. 1t presented the
remarkable as well as unprecedented
phenomenon of two heads, four arms and
two legs and all upon a single body.
The girl-for such was its sex-died
last evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street.
The first half or head breathed its last
at five, and the second shortly after
eight clock. The many thousands in
the Western or Middle States who have
seen this marvellous eccentricity of ma
ture will learn its early death with
regret. The child-or children, as it
would seem almost proper to allude to
the phenomenon-had enjoyed excel
lent health from her birth, nine months
ago, until within two weeks, at which
time one exhibited signs of i'll
ness. This, however, was but tenn
porary. 1t recovered, and was bright
and playful. Since reaching Boston, a
few days since, the other-or the other
half--was taken sick, and died Yester-
day afternoon, as already stated. The
two portions of the body we're so init
mately connected that the death of one
rendered that of the other inevitable.
The spectacle was equally novel, strange
and unparalleled. Upon one end of
the body reposed the head Of the dead
infant; upon the other that of the live
one with its eyes still bright and Curl
GUS, and its lungs in full breathing or
der. All that medical aid could accom-
plish was done, but it was found unavail-
ing. The child died in the presence Of
its parents. The corpse presents the
appearance Of two infants asleep. Ap-
parently they escaped the ordinary suf-
lering incident 70 death, for the counte-
nance had the expression of repose.
The disposition Of the body is not deter
mined upon. Several Of our physicians
were desirous, last evening, Of having it
opened for examination. It is doubtful
If the parents consent. They reside in
Monroe county, Ohio, and live upon
farm. They have other children, but
none have exhibited any unusual devel-
opments. Nor can this extraordinary
departure from the laws Of nature be
for In Philadelphia, where
all the medical Solons undertook to
solve the problem, nothing whatever was
brought to light. The child was looked
upon with amazement and interest, but
all attempts to account for its existence
we're futile. Il is regarded as more Of
curiosity than the Siamese twins, and
most certainly the spectacle was more
to the eye. The child was
shortly to have been exhibited to the
public, and would doubtless here, as
have attracted throngs Of vis-
itors. The parents were especially de-
voted to the little marvel, and their sor-
row is grievous.

Tbe villa Of a Retired Expressman.

The Boston correspondent of the Chi
cago Journal writes: Probably one Of the
handsomest and most expensive subur-
ban retreats is that of Mr.. Alvin Adams.
1t lies in Watertown, seven miles from
Boston, and embraces one hundred and
fifty acres. The grounds are magnifi-
cent, and the farm has no equal. The
second floor is on level with the dome
of the State House in Boston, and the
sweep of the eye from the tower of the
house catches in panorama of ex-
quisite loveliness, embracing view Of
twenty-six towns and cities. One Of the
most attractive features of this lovely
home is the art gallery, which is proba-
bly, the finest private affair of the kind
in the country. There is nothing in
Boston equal to it. Among its grand
painting is Bierstadt's Lake Lu-
c, rne." Twenty years ago Mr.. Adams
was very poor man, but ventured in a
business which has since grown to CO.
lossal proportions; and now, as father of
the express business, he lives in retire
ment, surrounded by his broad acres.
1t must cost him 800, 900 year to carry
on the place. Mr.. Adams is great
lover of art, and is specially interesting
himself in the creation of the Boston
Art Museum.

Courtship and Marriage in Holland

From tho London Society.l t..
1t is possible that even the young OF
these sober-minded people fall in love :
Young people do fall in love in the Gus
tomary manner, and the swain makes
his offer without any intermediary assist
ance. A marriage of convenience is an
unheard of thing. Consent of parents,
however, is necessary, for without it the
marriage Of persons, even up to the age
of thirty, may be declared absolutely
null and void; but any one who is more
than twenty-one has legal means Of
bringing a recalcitrant parent to reason.
When all that delightful private arrange
ment has been made and consent Of pa
rents obtained, the engagement soon gets
abroad, and the young couple have to 60
in company to make calls upon his
friends and her friends. The proverbial
slip 'twixt cup and lip is not unknown in
Holland as elsewhere; nevertheless this
system of making formal engaged calls
certainly does ter to prevent a rupture
upon slight grounds; for it is a matter of
no small embarrassment to call upon the
same people second time and ceremo-
niously introduce sweetheart number
two 1t is held to be part Of a lover s
duty to accompany his mistress to par
ties and balls, and also his right and
pleasure to take her to theaters and
concerts unaceompanied by a chape-
rome; but be is seldom asked to pay
a visit in the same house with her for
more than the day. Lovers always
choose the house and buy the furniture
together during the oourtship. When
the time comes the two go together alone
to the Town Hall for the aanteeken-
ing" or betrothal. This is merely
public notice Of the intention to marry,
and is given in writing. The Rotice is
then put into a kind Of box, protected
by brass wire, and placed for time in
conspicuous part Of the hall. Banns /
are also published in church. A runa-
way match is held TO be thoroughly dis
graceful, is accomplished with difficulty |
and seldom attempted. Friends now,
in place Of wedding cards, receive by |
post autographed document announc-
ing the aanteekening. On the first Sun
day afternoon, subsequent TO this, the /
bruid and bruidgom, who are thus called |
in the interval between the aanteeken- |
ing and the wedding day, hold a grand |
reception in the drawing-room of the
father of the bruid. A sofa, sometimes
gayly decorated with flowers and ever
greens, being occupied by the two,
the bruid's relations range them
selves at his right hand, the
bruidgoms at hers. The Druid |
wears her wedding dress, veil and
orange wreath on this occasion, and the
company generally are in gala costume.
