WANDERED BY THE BROOK.sIDR.

wandered by the brook-side,
wandered by the mill,
Icould not hear the brook flow,
The noisy brook was still;
There was no burr of grasshOpper,
No chirp of any bird
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound heard.
l sat beneath the elm tree,
watched the long, long shade,
And, ss it still grew longer,
! did not feel afraid;
For listened for football,
/ listened for word
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound I heard.
He came not-no, he came not
The night came on alone;
The little stars sat one by one,
Each on his golden throne;
The evening air passed by my cheeks,
The leaves above were stirred
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound / heard.
Fast, silent tears were flowing,
When something stood behind
A hand was on my shoulder,
| knew its touch was kind;
1t drew me nearer, nearer
We did not speak word,
For the beating of our own hearts
Was all the sound We heard.

JOTTINGs BY THE WAY.

In tn is letter l intend 10 change the
subject little and give you few Incl
dents IN my railroad travel. and touch
upon some points of general interest TO
those whose business may lead them to
similar roaming life; things desirable
and things otherwise things bearable'
and things uncomfortable; incidents mirth-
provoking, and incidents deserving
thought and study, and reformation and
in some places am glad 10 know the in
itial steps have been taken and the meas
ures advanced are enforced
First, then, Depots Many of them are
very fine and web fitted up and arrang-
ed for the comfort and convenience of
passengers, and are kept by the agents
scrupulously neat. clean, and free from
loafers and boys who have no business
there, occupying the seats, etc, designed
for waiting and weary travellers. Others
again, are sorry apologies for depots-
scarcely fit to shelter stock in a stand
ing disgrace to the railroad Cos. l speak
of the building ITSELF And then the
agents seem not to care for them, for
they are dirty, reeking with tobacco filth
-old cigars and guilds lying around loose
over the floor; !; some OF the former large
enough to stumble over; the walls of
the room filed with all manner of carl
catures and dirty, obscene pictures and
language. Some Ihave seen so notori-
ously and outrageously so, that l wonder
any one having charge Of such place
win tolerate its present appearance for
a moment, but would remedy 1t by eth
er painting the walls. or visiting all such
perpetrators with, needed and summary
punishment But one thiHg especially
wish to speak of; At is the habit some
persons have of smoking IN depot
Now would not abridge the rights Of
any one; yet I am unwilling TO have
mine trampled upOn-and there are
thousands with me on this point. lam
entitled 10 fresh, pure air to breathe, rs
God has givenlit 10 every man, but 10 be
obliged to sit, perhaps for hours. in de-
DO. waiting for a beIated tratn. and be
compelled to breathe the rank, Fo'tsn'
oOatamipAted air always found in q close
room where smoking is allowed. IS l
think, an outrage upon the rights OF
those who abhor the weed. And nad
in many towns, especially jim Michigan,
notices are hung up in the depots-"No

tious enough to try it. a policeman quick

ALOsG Race,

Several years ago considerable ex-
citement was created in Fairmont.
West Va, by the discovery of traces
of an old macadamized road extend
ing along the right bank of the
MOnongahela, opposite that place.
Recently the government engineering
party engaged in the survey of the
Upper Monongahela River, with the
view of slack watering that stream
from Morgantown to Fairmont, ex
amined this old road, and from the
members of the party we learn that
there can be no doubt but that this
road furnishes another trace of the
lost race that once dominated the
continent long before the Indians
came into possession. ~
There are traces of the road for
nearly eleven miles along the narrow
strip of bottom land between the
hills and the river, though at many
points the river, having shifted its
channel and cut into the hills, has
entirely obliterated every evidence
of it. Generally the road is covered
by from two to five feet of alluvium,
either deposited through the course
of ages by the river floods, or else by
the slow washing off the hills skirt
ing it. Its width is said to be about
fifteen feet. w.. a5us
The most curious feature about
the road is that the stone from
which it is formed appears invaria-
bly, to have been burnt. Where
ever the road shows itself IN the cut
ting banks, it is marked by the black
substratum of ashes. In depth the
broken stone varies from six inches
to eighteen inches, of irregular frag-
ments. The material employed ap.
pears to have been largely composed
of bOulders of red sandstone, and
the conjecture is that they were
broken after being made hot with
water thrown upon them. There
being few (if any boulders in the
river or adjacent country, the query
arises, where could the material have
been obtained to make this road !? D
At the crossings of the streams
there are no traces of bridge abut-
ments or piers, which leads to the
conclusions that the streams were
crossed on wooden bridges. At
many points the road is covered with
trees over $50 years old, which makes
it certain that it was constructed
long before the advent of tho white
man +; and there are other 'circum-
stances surrounding the case which
lead inevitably to the conclusion
that 1t was made in those early ages
when semi-civilized people inhabit-
ed North America. No one ac-'
quainted with the habits of the
American Indians would give them
credit for constructing such a work
of art as this.

TRXTUAL SONGS.

''Thy speech shall whisper out of the Dust
Is. 1884. rT.eG
Who may know but in the slumbers
OF the night that falls on man,
Walking in prophetic numbers,
Long-lost voices speak again!
Whisperings of loved communion
With the friends of former time,
Ere death sewers here their union,
Calling to better cline.
Who hath heard not words of gladness-
Pleasant tones of long age
Murmured in the sleep of sadness
Such as day dreams never know?
Spirits ministrant are round us!
STOPPING oft from homes above;
Hath the worlds dark thraldom bound US
to forget that still they love?
Prattling through the midnight curtain,
Infant tongues like music sound;
Or parents, not uncertain,
Whom we've laid beneath the ground.
Oh, the loved do not forget US!
Briefly from their spirit home,
To our hearts, where oft they We met US,
Fondly still they love to come.
