pY NELLY N. HUTCHINSON.

Whether my heart be glad or no,
The summers come, the summers 60,
The lanes grow dark with dying leaves;
Icicles hang beneath the caves;
The asters wither to the snow:
Thus doth the summer end and 60,
Whether my life be glad or no.
Whether my life be sad or no,
The winters come, the winters 60,
The sunshine plays with baby leaves;
Swallows build about the caves;
The lovely will.Howcrs bend and blow;
Thus doth the winter end and go,
Whether my life be sad or no.
Yet Mother Nature gives to me
A fond and patient sympathy;
In my own heart find the charm
To make her tender, near, and warm:
Through summer sunshine, winter snow,
she clasps me, sad or glad or no.

TIE WEATHER AND CITY HEALTu.-
The sudden coming Of warm weather, al
ter an unusually cold spring, ought to re.
mind citizens, as well as the city authoyi-
ties, to "set their houses in order for the
summe. heat. 1t is certain that the clean
illness OF a city has very large influence
on its sanitary condition under all circum'
stances, and it is also certain that con-
siderable part of the duty OF maintaining
cleanliness in and around premises does
not properly fall within the scope OF the
authorities in the first instance, but SHOULD
be attended TO by individual citizens
There is always plenty Of work Of this
kind for owners and occupants OF real es-
tate to attend to, and it is now high time
to be prepared for the summer.

The New b. & o. Railroad Schedule
and the Nails

The new time table OF the B. u o.
Railroad may be advantageous to the
COMPANY, but in one particular it Is not
so to the mail service. There is now no
way mai! east from this city until near
eleven o'clock, A. N, and no through mail
ill evening. This is not convenient ar
rangement for the people Of this city, nor
for those on the first one hundred miles
OF the line east OF this city. The people
q, Grafton, Tor example, do not get their
morning papers till evening, whereas un'
der the former arrangement they got
them by the middle Of the forenoon. Poo
pie on the Parkersburg Branch cannot
get Wheeling papers until the day after
they sre published. This matter would
be remedied if the Cumberland accom-
mediation were started from this city at
six or seven in the morning instead oil
eleven as now. Then the whole run
would be made by daylight, and
this train would be better accom-
mediation, both for travel and mail distri'
button, than now when nearly half the
route is run after night. As We under
stand, this train has no connections 10
make; and there seems 10 be no rCasona'
bic objections to making It an carly train.
II does connect at Beawood with train
from the Central Ohio, but since it takes
the passengers only 10 Cumberland where
they must wait for The fast train which
leaves here later in the day, they had bet
ter be left at Benwood or brought up to
this city TO take the fast train instead OF
running this 200 miles in the tedious &C.
commodRtion; and when the travelling
public come to understand how that con-
nection operates, they will be likely to
prefer lying over at this end Of the line.
The Post Office Department has some
rights in this matter. The contract with
the Company ought TO require that the
mails shall be carried so as to afford the
public reasonable accommodation; and we
presume il the matter we're represented
properly by the Department to the Rail
road authorities, the present arrangement
would be amended. The Railroad gen
tlemen themselves cannot but see that the
existing arrangement is injurious TO the
people Of this city and along the west hall

land, and We are not without hope that
seeing this they will do something to cor
rect it.

How 10 Get n Permanent Capital.
a Barbour" correspondent: Of the
Weston Democrat wants an immediate
permanent location of the State capital
ignoring the fact that the present l0ca-
ton is as permanent as any location can
he made,) and proposes to secure it by
popular vote. He would have the Leg
stature next winter pass an act providing
for an election, at which tho people
would vote for such places as they choose
for the capital. II any place received a
majority OF the votes cast, that place
would be chosen. II not, this appearing
upon proclamation Of the Governor, he is
TO order a new election at which only the
two places having received the highest
votes at the former election would be eli
gible; and at this second election one or
the other oil them would necessarily be
chosen.
Yet the fact remains that capital
chosen in this way would not beany more
permanent" than that at Charleston is

Of the Legislature to undo what it had
done by repeal or otherwise. Whenever

The only way to secure permanent
location is to make one that will satisfy
