We've Grown Old Together.

Bell Billy No, loosen the bride;
Unfetter the gallant Old steed.
His eye has grown dim and Uncertain
Forgotten his olden-time speed;
But memory haloes him ever
With thoughts that are sacredly dear;
So l pledge him no longer to labor,
And hallow that pledge with tear.
Swift thought, glancing back past the shad-
ows,
Speaks first Of The long-vanished day
He stood all so patiently waiting
BY the Westinghouse over the way,
While | held hand at the altar,
And VOWS were recorded on high,
Till the angels bent earthward to murmur
"Yours, yours for the ever and aye"
Oil the air was I'll throbbing with music,
And sunshine was gliding the way,
When he sped with my bride 10 the cottage
Our home from that glad nnptial day.
His step had the antelope's teetncss,
The grace OF the gentle gazele,
As he passed the fresh mead and the noun
tain,
Toward the cottage we both loved so well.
But, Billy. time passed, and its changes
Brought changes to you and to me-
For sorrow sent tears to the farmhouse,
Like waves overspreading the sea.
And, Billy, we two we're grown older,
M head was well threaded with gray,
When yOu waited so solemn and silent
by the meeting house over tho way.
A boarse stood in waiting beside you
A disge fioatod out on the ar;
And tears ulickled silently downward
While rObs chOhed the accents OF prayer;
And the bcll in the old church-steeplo
Kept m0urnEully telling the tale;
And the winds, floating tcnderly outYard,
Bore softly the plteous wall.
Just there, where we stood at the altar,
So happy IN days long ago,
Tho coffin was draped IN tho symbols
Which typliy bitterest woe.
WITH her meek hands silently folded,
Her sightless orbs shaded from view,
Win the paior SO still on her forehead
A GOODNESS 70 strange on her brow,
They placed her beside that same altar,
But this timc all silent and lone,
And they call her an angel in heaven,
Where sorrow may never be known.
Then out trom the door oi the chapel
They carried that silent clay;
You bore it so slow and solemn,
The sad tuuereal way.
No, Billy, we've grown old together.
And you have been faithful and true
We'yejo urnoyed through gladness aud sorrow
Wol journey hic's pilgrimage through.
SO, buyer, please loosen the bride,

And billy, from hardship and labor,

Death OF Commodore Mckinstry.
From the D etrcit Pos, OF Wednesday.

Commodore James P. McKinstry,
U. S. N, died at his residence in this
city yesterday noon. He suffered an
attack of apoplexy on Friday from
which be did not rally. He was born
in Hudson, New York, February 9,
1907, and was therefore &c years of age.
His father was colonel in the regular
army and served in that capacity dur
ing the war of 1912. Soon after the
close of the war he removed to this
city, arriving here about the year 1917.
He actively and prominently engaged
in business in this city for long time,
and subsequently removed to Ypsilantl,
where he died few years since.
Commodore McKinstry was appoint
ed TO the navy from this state February
l, 1926, and during that time and the
subsequent year served ia the navy
yard at Boston. In 1S29-30 he served
on the sloop Warren in the Mediter.
ranean squadron. He was promoted
to Passed Midshipman in 1882, and
was stationed at the New York Navy
Yard until 1884. He was commissioned
AS Lieutenant, February 9. 1887, and
in the West India squadron. In 1910
he served on the schooner Dolphin, in
the Brazil squadron; in 1S43, sloop
Falmouth, in the home squadron; in
1915 6, steamer Michigan, on the lakes;
in 1S47, sloop st. Mary, in the Pacific
squadron 1850 rendezvoused at Bos-
ton. In 1S54-5 he commanded the
mail steamer Georgia running between
New York and Panama.
He was commissioned Commander
September Il, 1853, and at the break
ing out of the war in 1861, he was sent
overland to China to take command of
the United States squadron then in
nese waters. This was delicate and
responsible intrust imposed upon him,
and his mission required secrecy and
the utmost dispatch, as the loyalty of
many officers of the navy, like many III
the army, was of doubtful character,
to say the least. He performed his duty
to the satisfaction of the Government,
and soon brought home the fleet
He was then put in command of
the steam sloop Dakotah, of the block
aiding squadron. In July, 1862, he

placed in command of the steam sloop
Monongahela, in the Western Gulf
blockading squadron. Here he saw
active and laborious service, and bore
himself CALAMITY in many hard fought
battles. He was present in the en-
gagements before Vicksburg and at
Port Hudson in 1863. In the latter en-
gagement he was seriously wounded, and
incapacitated for further active service
during the war; In 1865 he was placed in
command of the receiving ship at New
York. He was commissioned Commo-
dore July 25, 1866, and placed in COM
mand of the naval station at Sackett's
Harbor. He was subsequently trans
ferred to this city as Lighthouse In
spector In 1871, after 45 years active
service, he was placed on the retired
list, and since that time he has lived
quietly at his home in this city, sur
rounded by many warm friends. He
was a brave and gallant officer, and
deserved well of his country. He leaves

"Ahl" said the Pope, with an ex,
preston of jocular incredulity; 'that
is promising a good deal. What

"Ihe orders of your holiness shall
be obeyed," said Torrini, who, on re-
cciving an asserting signal from the
Pope, took the ingot in his fingers,
showed it to the company and uttered
the word "Passl" when it instantly
disappeared. Plus VII, with an in
credulous expression of countenance,
put his hand into his pocket. He had
already done so when he showed signs
of confusion, and, drawing his hand
out, brought with it the watch, which
he quickly passed to the cardinal, as if
afraid of burning his fingers.
There was great astonishment among
the dignitaries of the church when his
eminence, on examining the watch,
declared it was the very one that had
been made for him by Breguet, and
which they had seen crushed to pieces
by the conjure. The mystery was in
creased when Torrini declared that he
had fulfilled his promise, and had only
tested the superiority of the chronme-
ter.
The next day the pope sent him a
rich diamond snuff-box, with thanks
for the pleasure his performance had
afforded. His fame was now at its
height Attracted by the news of his
wonderful exhibition, crowds focked
to see the magician who had accom-
plished such marvels. They did not,
however, have the qualification of wit
Messing the famous trick of the
broken watch - for the expense of
undertaking an experiment, which
could never again be repeated under
such favorable auspices, would be war

which originally brought together the
pope and the conjuror.

Too Much Credit.

Mr.. Keene, a shrewd and thrifty farmer
of Allenborough, owned large flock of
sheep, and one autumn, when it came
housing time, he was greatly annoyed up
on missing number of his finest muttons;
among them three or four wethers which
he had raised and fattened for his own
table. He was sure it was not the work
of dogs, and the most he could do was to
await further developments.
On the following spring, when his
sheep were turned out to pasture, he in
stituted careful watch and ere long he
detected Tom Stickney, a neighboring
farmer, in the act of pilfering a sheep;
but he made no noise about it at the time.
Stickney was man well -to-do, and Keene
did not care to expose him.
Autumn came again, and upon count
ing up his flock, Mr.. Keene found eight
sheep missing. He made out bill in due
form to Thomas Stickney for the eight
sheep and presented it. Stickney choked
and stammered, but did not back down
Like prudent man he paid the bill and
pocketed the receipt.
Another spring time came and Mr..
Keene's sheep were again TUNED out
Another autumn came, and the farmer
again took an account of his stock, and
this time fifteen sheep were missing AS
before he made out the bill to Tom Stick
ney for the whole number missing, but
this time Tom objected.

would be, it would draw into its vortex,
from the Connecticut River and the canal,
such share of the transportation as would
be ruinous to those expensive improve

What do the People Expect?
By HON. HENRY WILSON.

THE recent Presidential canvass and
election afford lessons that should be
needed by both press and politicians.
For never were the teachings of the one
and the voices of the other so impotent,
as never was the will of the people so po-
tential. Journals of immense circulation
and believed to be of commanding infiu-
ence with the masses, public men of long
and large experience and of hitherto un-
questioned influence, were never more
sharply rebuked or more signally defeat
ed. Nor was the great victory achieved
by the personal influence of individual
loves or hates. 1t was the fiat of the peo-
ple's voice, the result of popular determi-
nation and purpose, in the interests of a
patriotic endeavor to serve and save the
country.
Whatever may be the personal aspira-
tions and purposes of public men, in ma
tional elections the people think but of
the country, and labor only, or mainly,
at least, for its advancement and safety.
In the election of 1860 their great purpose
was to resist the further extension of
slavery in the Territories, and to put it in
process of ultimate extinction in the States
themselves, through moral and political
Influences; to overthrow the continued
domination of the Slave Power; and to
place men in office who believed in the
Declaration OF Independence and in the
doctrines of human rights. Before, how
ever, such action could be taken the Re-
bellion arose. Not only was the exten-
sion of slavery arrested, but its very ex-
istence was denied and its destruction
decreed by the Proclamation of Emanci-
patton and by the Thirteenth Amend
ment. The Slave Power, too, was de-
throned, and the throne itself went down
in the fire and blood of civil war.
In the election of 1864 the popular pur-
pose in the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln was
the suppression of the Rebellion and the
completion of the work of Emancipation.
That purpose was accomplished, the Re-
bellion was suppressed, the work of re-
construction was commenced, and that of
enfranchisement begun.
In 1868 the purpose was greatly en-
larged To complete the work of re-
construction on the basis of the largest
liberty, to define and guard the rights of
citizenship, to extend suffrage, vindicate
and establish civil rights, honestly col;
lect the revenues, reduce the national
debt, and appreciate the value of cur
rency-these were the great objects had
in view and nersistentlv pursued. Bvthe
