MY Dream.

BY II. G..
| dream of beautiful time
When the world shall happy be;
When elephants and hyenas
shall bios ON on every tree.
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar,
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the gardeG forevermore.
/ dream Of great republic.
Whose people shall go west,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In the land they love the best;
Where pig-irOn and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill.
And chicken. low in the barnyard.
While goosebsrries toll at the mill.
l am weary Of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and hoe;
| am weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush 10 grow.
/ long Tor the time when spinach
Shall cope with bread and milk:
When hens shall lay tomatoes
And horses spin raw silk.
Oh. sweet were the vanished hours
When | wandered adown the glen.
And wreathed my brow with tomatoes
Or plucked the ripened hen.
When the donkey twined up the trellis,
And the cucumber chirped in the grass.
And the sweet potato whistled
To its mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days of childhood,
And manhoOd's dreams are mine,
Yet ] long for the bygone hours
As | sit meath the turkey-vine.
OH wreathe your blossom about me,
And sOothe my aching breast.
While the gooseberry plaintively MARBLES
And lulls me into rest.

Wonderful Escape.

The Gardiner Ne Journal says Mr..
Joseph Glazier, OF that city, was exam
ing a paper mill in Topsham; and while
so engaged the skirt of his coat caught
in the roll. He Immediately bethought
himself to throw off his coat, but in do
ing so his hand was drawn into the
rolls. "I'll let it pull my arm out" he
thought 10 himself, but as the merciless
machinery pulled at the stout muscles
and tendons, Mr.. Glazitr found that his
arm would not pull off without break.
ing his neck. Just think of such a
situation for man to be in Coolly
submitting to his fate, he turned his
head over on the side to save his nose,
and through the space of about four
inches he was drawn up to his hips. He
says as the rolls passed over his head it
made noise like grinding coffee in a
mill, and that's the last he remem bers.
The blood spurted from his eyes, ears
and mouth SO as to go on to the dryer,
twelve feet distant. II was taken up
for dead, but, strange to say, he is now
about the streets.

the incorporation of cities, and left it optional
with cities to abandon their present
charters, and become organized under
this general law. There is, OF COURSE, d
difficulty in making 5 general INV that will meet
tho wants OF Ill local communities alike. It is
possible that this general law could be more ac-
ceptable by somo few amendments, and it would
bo well, perhaps, to require peremptorily that
the question Of accepting this general law for
the government Of cities should be submitted to
the vote Of the people at some particular time,
instead Of leaving the matter of submission dis
cretionary with the Common Council. This city
is Ut presently exceedingly embarrassed for the
want of power to levy sufficient taxes for sewer
age purposes, being restricted by special
amendment to the charter on that subject, and,
if the general act were made liberal in this re-
spect, it is possible that Chicago would readily
embrace tho new charter as soon as the law
should permit.

a)Aege that. because We did not enumerate tho

schemes to rob the public Treasury, We arc in
favor of that project and opposed to NIL tho
rest. Whence it appears, according to the
Davenport Gazette, that our platform is narrow
ed down to championship of the interests of
Chicago, or else to an alliance with lie ::rail-
road kings" or elso to an undue attachment to
free trade principles, or to something else
most painful md recondito. Our anGyor
is that the reason why We did not onu-
merate the Niagara Falls Canal WAS that
we did not suppose it was seriously
contemplated to dig another canal to connect
Lakes Eric and Ontario, without first attempting
to secure the enlargement Of the existing ono
the use Of which has always been extended to Us
voluntarily by the Canadians, and has now been
secured to US by the Treaty Of Washington. It
has been limited to us in no vague terms that VIC
might obtain the enlargement of that canal and
of several others equally important without ox-
pending dollar. Va are certainly in favor Of
all the canals which We can get for nothing.
