From the Chirlicothe Register. !

Between two and three o'clock p. m the
members of the Association, together with a
number of our citizens left the city in carriages
for the residence of Hon. L. G. Delano, on the
Kingston pike, where, about 81 O'Clock, about
seventy-five guests assembled. The hospital
ity of Mr.. and Mrs. Delano is so well known
that it is superfuous to speak of the reception
in detail. Sufficient to say that it was all
that cordial welcome, taste and refinement
could make it. Previous to partaking of a
sHmptuous lunch, large number of the most
valuable animals owned by Mr.. Delano, inclu
ding the noted Mambrino and Hambletonian
stations and their get, were paraded for in,
spection by the guests, the scene on the lawn
in front of the house during the display being
most attractive as the splendidthourough ghbredl
were gated back and forth. Many of these
fine animals will be disposed of July 9th a

REklAM BROTHERS.

Something I saw exhibited in the win
dow attracted my attention. and induc-
ed me to enter the shop of Messrs. REX
lam Brothers. 1t was certainly not the
ticket inscribed, ''First floor to let, un-
furnished;' it was rather, if I remember
rightly,a delicate little taxa Of genuine
Venetian class; curiously designed and
rich in dainty opaline tints and retlec-
tions. I was in humble way: and for
my own qualification simply, collector
of trifes of that that kind, The Messrs.
Reklam were German Jews-or Polish,
I'm not sure which-dealing in old pic
lures, curiosities, articles Of virtu, and
antiquities. Their house was situated
in a dull street in the Soho district
Fashion and gentility had, no doubt, in
times past made their home there; they
had long since vanished, however, leav-
ing in their stead sort of dingy respec-
liability. and an air of trade of rather a
torpid character. Shops and private
houses were very much intermingled,
but there were few evidences of business
being very actively carried on. The
street could not boast much traffic, for
although thoroughfare, it led to no.
where in particular, and offered small
advantages as shortcut. 1t was bound
ed on the north by Oxford street, and
on the south by an intricate tangle
Of courts and alleys. The houses were
of a substantial, spacious, old.fashioned
class, with rather dimly lit rooms.
The contents Of the shop almost defy
enumeration. They were such, howev-
er, as are usually to be foudd in the
possession of traders in curiosities, had
been collected from all parts of the
globe, and pertained to every period,
With the exception, perhaps, Of the
present. There we're weapons and ar
NOR, of course, in great abundance,
with carvings in wood and ivory, paint
ings and enamels, china and glass, gems,
coins, embroideries, lace, antique fur
niture, feathers, idols, stuffed animals,
skins, monstrosities Of all kinds, and
other multitudinous objects. Twas i'm.
pressed by the. extent and value Of the
collection. It filled the shop quite to
its remote corners, leaving only little
patch of vacancy in the centre Of the
Aoor. Even the ceiling was crowded
and outrageous with precious things--

feet tick kets of crystal. III, %&:s.E

THE OLD HOMESTEAD.
An old brown house, 70

An old brown house,
Stands gravely facing on the busy way
Its brOoding roof o ercrowned with moses
With sheltecing elm trees swaying o'er
aud o'er,
Grooming unmeasured cadence evermore !;
And the swift sun, down. threading thro'
the leaves
With golden fingers brightly interweaves
The dark and gloomy caves.
That lonely house to me
Has strange charm-'tis like a poem
Like rude landmark of the past, up
reared
In those proud days of modern tower and
dome,
As record of the plain old fashioned
home,-
Quiet and calm as Eden, the brown nest!--
With brooding roof aslope to the red
west,
Gray as a doves sweet bre. st!
0, brown old home of old!
Along thy garden wall the swallow flies,
Dwarf, grass-grown pansies peer with pur-
pie eyes,
By the crystal we'll golden fruited trees
Lean DER the fence in the delicious breeze,
Just as they leaned in that transcendent
When Hopes young buds, ,rose-tinted with
the dawn.
Unfolded years agone!
Once twas home so fair :!
Long, hpsing years Of sun and sobhing
Have beat against the rattling window
pane,
And yet there clingeth round the broken
door.
A sweet white rose, by fond hands trained
ofyore!
And subtle fragrance, like blessing, falls
In faint memorial round these crumbling
walls,
And her sweet name recalls.
Once bright home beloved!
In sombre shadow are familiar rooms,
Low walls, small window panes; the
glooms
OF twilight, touching with soft tenderness
The quaint oak ceiling like kind caress
Once how the sun came shining in that
door.
by the noon marks on the snowy
floor,
Where the children play no more
Who'd dream it once was bright
Narrow and steep seems now the winding
stair,
In that deep window niche a mother
chair
Stood as she softly crooned the evening
hymn;
And this is Daisy's dainty room grown
dim!
Alas the household names are never
spoken!
And the deft spider spins his. thread un-
broken
On cornice quaint and oaken!
Yes the old house to-day
Wears a grave meaning on its ancient face,
These weather marks have suggestive
grace,
The tented elms, with royal arms aloof,
Sweep with a sigh about the broken roof
For thus, amid the iretting of decay,
Passes as surely from the bright to-day,
Our ''earthly home" awayl

MY landlords had, as 1t seemed, aban-

their trade as dealers in antiquities and

felt persuaded, more closely than ever.
[ was conscious that my residence under
their roof was becoming more and more
painful and unendurablc.

for some days the weather had been al

No trace of them was ever discovered
in the ruins Of the building. Nor were
any relics found Of the treasures that
had once filled their premises to over
flowing. My own belief was, and is,
that these had been carefully and
stealthily removed some time before the
fire broke out.
