LONG AGO.
BY JOHN RRAzIKR.

Blue was the sky above our head,
And green the grasses under foot,
The flowers their sweetest perfume shed,
And blushed the rose from stem to root,
What time we wandered, hand in hand,
BY country lanes and fragrant walks,
In that dear, dim, enchanted land
OF love and light and happy talks
The hand, you know,
OF Long Ago,
Where you was belle and was beau,
The sunniest smile, the bonniest face,
That ever Aushedat touch Of lip,
The queenlisst form in all the place,
Beyond hope Of rivalship,
The neatest foot that ever brushed
The dew FROM OF the mountain heather,
Were thine, Clarette, what time
we crushed
The purple grapes Of life together
That time, you know,
Long, Long Ago,
When you was belle and was beau.
Well. Welt how fast the years have rolled!
'Iis more than thirty, dear, since then,
And you -ahem Are stout and old,
And l, the goutiest of men.
We have been all these years apart
You did me cruel wrong, Clarette-
But still a huttering at my heart
Attests that do not quite forget
The love, You know,
OF Long Ago,
When you was belle and was beau.

New CASTLE HUNDRED,
September 2S, 1874
Mr.. Editor Please give me place in
your paper for brief statement OF what
conceived to be my duty to myself and
10 those friends who gave me the hum
BILE position at New Castle. There has
been much said about the escape of big
Frank" through the papers and by out
iders, but it is my wish to call the at
tention OF the public to the hasty and
lnmanly statement of Sheriff kobt. L.
Armstrong. He clasps his hand on his
pocket-book and declares that money
will unlock any prison" Now, this may
)r may not be so, but l will agree with
iim that it will not take much money to
unlock the doors of New Castle prison,
md / further agree with him that there
was little money used in the escape of
big Frank" the only difference is i'll
relation to who received tn" money. Mr.
Armstrong states that "he would not
trust me with five dollars" Now have
lived in New Castle Hundred for many
years, and am known to almost every
nan in the Hundred of both parties. and
believe there has never been a charge
II dishonesty brought against me by any
1ne. Now can MIR. Armstrong or his
friends of Christiana Hundred say as
nuch2 Nv. Armstrong states that mel
thrsof the wardens were OF his choice" !"
That Is easily understood, for neither Of
them voted for him, and might not that
have been one of his reasons for lring
IN such haste to sacrifice us? say one
II the reasons, for / believe he might
lave other and weighticr reasons. Mr..
Armstrong states that there were four
ioors to he unlocked 10y the prisoner
from the time | saw him until he reach
I'd the street Now. Mr.. Armstrong
knew that this statement was not the
fact. Mr.. Armstrong did not stat! that
one of big Frank S" friends had been
admitted to his cell to remain with him
as long as he pleased. Mr.. Armstrong
lid not state that short time ago there
had been key found that would unlock
the iron door. MIR. Armstrong did not
state that the outside door leading to the
street was frequently left open until a
late hour at night. Mr.. Armstrong did
not state that neither he nor his depu-
ties ventured to the street to see which
way the prisoner had taken, but remain
ID m the prison for at least one hour
after he had escaped. Now, 4 full inves-
tigation will establish these facts and
probably other facts in relation to the
escape. MIR. Armstrong has seen fit to
suspend me from duty. After his state
ment he could not wel have done any
thing else. l am pleased that he has
done so; | can wait until the friend that
gave me the position can have time tC
10 HE justice. Yours,

The TeJfur Tide of Emigration

The Chicago Tribune says; 1--WE can
see no benefit to be derived from any
attempt to disguise the fact that from
Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas
Nebraska, Missouri, and Iowa, there is
an almost unprecedented rush back to
the loving arms of the mother country
and the warmth and light of old famil-
lar hearthstones. Every steamer leav-
ing the port of New York is heavily
freighted with foreigners who have
found temporary home on our ives
tern prairies These may be divided
into three classes: those who are in
search Qf pleasure; those returning To
spend the winter months amid once
familiar scenes, and those who are
driven back from lack of employment
here, tlse present low scale of laborers'
wages, and the high price of the com
mon necessaries OF life. The first named
class are decidedly in the minority and
will comprise only about q per cen,
la the Hhitire number; the secohd class
comprises about 25 per cent, and the
last named 20 per cent.
