How 4 LITTLE Boy DIED.-The Virginia
City New Enterprise of Jan. 18th has This
little paragraph -" Little Eddie Nye who
was run over by fiat car last Friday eve
nlng, and was so badly injured that he died
next morning, was a rare, bright child, and
one OF the best children in the city. Just be-
lore he died the sang The Beautiful River
with voice as though he had caught the
tones from the softer shore on the brink of
which his spirit was then trembling. After
the song he repeat little prayer which his
life had lisp, but this last prayer fell from
his tongue without halt or ouaver, but
rather, steady and clear. and yet with a far
OF tone. as though another's voice of infinite
sweetness had seized upon his lips in the SUI
preme moment, to leave an echo in his an
gulshed mothers ears which should last as
long as life. Shortly after the little PRAYER
the sunny eyes closed, and little Eddie was
gone. On Sunday his funeral attracted the
whole city, and there was not dry eve
around the dear child'S bier"

The Chicago Times is an erratic
wanderer. 1t never can be relied up
on for the truth, as to its facts stated,
or an honest statement of it's princi-
piles, when it's bias prompts untruth
and dishonesty. Nevertheless, It has
intervals when the better side of hu-
manity gushes forth for short season,
and during such spells, the strong ma
tural ability of it's editors sometimes
makes splendid telling hits. The fol-
lowing, in regard to the present oppo-
sition to the Republican party, is q
most exact and faithful picture:
"The Joseph 's.coat politicians of
many colors, who make up the inco-
hcrent agglomeration of spoils hunt
ers, sometimes styled the Opposition, y
are more concerned than any other in
habitants of this planet in the construc-
ton which shall be put upon Grants
epistolary third-term double ender.
"OppOsition" has been to these DO
litical huxsters their sole political
stock in trade. ANY time since Grant
became head of the administration,
had they been required to state their
political purpose, they would have re-.
sponded promptly enough: "Oppo-
sitiOn."
Opposition to what? Tell us, pray,
what it is you oppose, that we may
infer what it is you want. DO. you
mean opposition to a swindling rag

Growing OLD.-It is the solemn
thought connected with middle life, that
LIES last buainess ID begun In earnest and
it 10 when, midway between the cradle and
the grave, that man begins TO marvel that
be let the days of his youth lgo BY 20 half
enjoyed. Its the 1pensive autumn feeling ;
It 10 the sensation Of half sadness that we
experience when the longest day of the year
is passed, and every day that follows 10
shorter, and the fainter, and the feeble.
shadows tell thAs nature 10 Fastening with
gigantic footsteps to her winter grave. So
does man look back upon his youth. When
the first grey hairs become visible, when
the unwelcome truth fastens itself upon the
mind, that man is no longer going up hill,
but down, and shat the sun is always ives.
tering, he looks back on things behind.
When We were children we thought as
children. But now there les before us
manhood, with ito earnest work, and then
old age, and then the grave, and then home.
There Is . second youth for man, better and
holicr than his FIRST, II he will look on, and
not look back.-F. ". R0bertson.
