Ills SESSION ON CARoNDELET STREET
hey did not go down 20 Stonewall jackson
hall, as a joky sort of person told our re-
brter last Monday, but opened hall on
arondelet street, between Gravier and
pmmon streets, ground floor. Yesterday
|ere was meeting, when Senators and
&epref entatives were called. but, like the
lack Crook ballet dresses, were short at
bth ends.
After the Assembly had in q manner
Bttled down into something like order, Mr..
ogden was called on for speech. He re-
BONDED, talking about the general situa-
on Of affairs, here and in Washington
3ity. As near as an outsider can guess,
bis disconnected body will continue to
Aeet and adjourn, until the powers in
Washington shall cause a final settlement
= Louisiana politics. At least there has
Zen heard an utterance to that effect.
After Mr.. Ogden finished there was an
dlournment, as caucusing committee
'nd some INQUIRIES to institute.

GRANDMOTHER GREY.


Grandmother Grey by the window
sat,
And looked at the setting sun,
And watched the cows as they slowly
came
From the pastures one by one;
And back again to the ''long ago"
Her memory Travelled fast,
While the dim eyes closed as shs
lived again
Mid scenes Of the happy past.
"Let me see.'' she murmured; .ah,
yes, know
1t was there by the pasture gate
That Robin with milking pail and
stool,
For my coming used to wait.
1t was just week OF our wedding
day
That he fell so sck-and died;
And | laid my heart in the grave with
him
And loved no one beside.
but alb it was for my fathers sake
That welded Farmer Grey,
And we have been tender, and true
and kind
AS the years have slipped away.
But | wonder much when the hour
comes
That my soul be called above,
Shall as the wife Of Farmer Grey,
Seek Robin, my only love ?"
Aud the sun went down in the golden
west
And the COWS come safely home,
AS Grandmother Grey by the window
sat,
While her thoughts seemed yet to
roam,
Bat the angels came for her waiting
soul
While the twilight shadows fell,
And Grandmother Grey, the farmers
wife
With Robin had gone to dwell.
