ITO Belinda Jane.

We walked in pleasant spots, and thou
Vast loving to me, as thy wont;
We once thought love would last, but now
We don't.
Our love was wide as skies above,
For lovers meier can love by halves;
Our love was likest to the love
0fcalves.
That day was sweet-oh not like this
Yea, sweeter than the tabled honey;
: The one sad thought that spoiled our bliss
Was money.
We thought thereon, our hearts grew sad,
Our fates we vainly eXecrated;
Time, that changes all, I'm glad
waited.
For now, Belinda Jane, Pm bald,
And thou'rt maiden lady;
Thine age that side of fifty called
The shady.
Yet once again we'll play our parts,
While joy dispels oblivious mist;
And we will see each others hearts
At whist.

EFFECT OF BUSINESS ON SUMNER PLEAsUREs.-
"Burlegh" says in New York letter to the
Boston Journal: The stay-at- homes this year
are very numerous. The carriages in the parks
show how many people are in town. There
are two or three reasons for this. Our mer-
chants are making no money and everybody
knows it. 1t is fashionable to economize.-
Handsomely trimmed calicoes and neat mus
Inns are the rage fer breakfast and even morn
ing dresses in the park. Well-to-do men who
are noted for prompt payment, who take their
check books down as soon as dun enters the
door, don't blush when they say "vcu must
call again" Those who live at all liv on their
stock or what they made in former times
Those who go away and last year thought $25
a head cheap by the week, now refuse to pay
more than $40. A more prudent class see no
sense in leaving their elegant mansions and
com Portable bedrooms to their servants and pay
a hundred dollars week for rooms that they
would not dare to offer to their cook. A man
came home very unexpectedly from the ceun-
try and found everything eatable had been car
ried out of the house; a chest of tea had been
used up; barrel of -four and barrel Of sugar
consumed "a winters supply of kindlings burn
ed, and half the winters coal carried of. The
servants suggested burglary. The neighbors
said high links had been carried on for a month.
Many go out of town to spend day, and re-
turn at night taking short but delightful ex-
cursions. One misses from the Park elegant
teams and dashing four-in-hands, not because
the owners are out of the city, but because they
have gone under. A man failed in Brooklyn
not long since who spent one thousand dollars
week last season at watering place. His
crash ruined merchants, builders, lum bermen
and mechanics right and left.

SOMEHOW Or OTHER.

Life has burden for every ones shoulder
None can escape from its troubles and care;
Miss it in youth, and twill come when we're older,
And fit US as close as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into homes unlimited,
Robbing our hearts of its treasure of song;
Lovers grow cold and our friendships slighted,
Yet somehow or other we worry along.
Midst the sweet blossoms that smile in our faces
Grow the dark weeds that would poison and blight
And cen in the midst of earth's beautiful places
There's always a something that isn't just right.
G Yet oft from rock we may pluck gay flower,
And drink from a spring in desolate waste;
They come to the heart like a heavenly dover,
And naught is so sweet to the eye or the taste.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though povertys cottage and crust we may share
Weak is the back on which burdens are pressing,
But stout is the heart that is prayer
Somehow or other the pathway grows brighter,
Just when we mourn there was none to befriend
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem lighter,
And somehow or other we get to the end

lutiOns made lengthy report, which re.
cites the fact that the brewers pay about

brewers, with the cases that have arisen
from their enforcement, be brought TO the
notice Of the government, and that the
government be pCtitiOned TO remove the
duties on imported barley, hops and malt

The counsel here read the paper which
Tilton showed to DR., Storrs as his wife,
explanation OF the facts, In this she say
that finding the retraclion had
placed her in hostile attitude to
her husband she wrote the third
letter. The counsel presumed that the
Jury now understood that the first paper
was exacted from the wife. Tilton and
Moulton were shown in her chamber
on the 10Th and they saw the same Coer'

Both. When Beecher, in astonishmGnt,

After discussing at length the motives

MOulton went to BeGCher's house to get

What the New York Papers Sny

We suppose the comments Of the New

ing fairly enough the different imprcs.
sions made by the letter on the public
mind. The Times admin Is struck by
its simplicity and frankncss, and thinks
It ought to be accepted by all just and
fair.minded men as absolutely putting
an end to the whole operation Rcpnb'
licans, nt least should treat it in good
faith and prepare for 1876, "without
reference even to the possibility Of Gen.
Grant being in the field as a candidate"
The Tribune (anti.Admin.l finds the letter
somewhat Delphic in its phraseology,"
but presumes 1t will he regarded rs "linal.

secs reasonable prospect Of success. The
Gpdphic, one Of the two "reliablc" admin.
istfation organs left over in New York,
at once interprets and supplements the ex.

How Bogus Insurance Com.
paDieS are Supplied With
llOndS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 3.-Some OF
the modus-operandi Of the numerous bo'
gus insurance companies have just
been brought to light by the secret ser
vice officers OF the treasury by the arrest
and breaking up of formidable gang Of
thieves, who have been operating in con
ncction with these bogus companies. Last
fall, George +, Hill Of the Safeguard in
surance company OF Philadelphia was ar
rested for having in his possession $1,000
United States registered bond, which had
been stolen from the Glen Falls national
bank, The name OF the payGe had been
erased and new name substituted, Hill
had 100000 in these bonds, which had
been shown to the insurance cOmmis.
sionCr Of Pennsylvania, and he had sue
CcedCd thereby ingettinghis certificate as
TO The sOuBdness Of the company. The
secret service took hold Of the matter
and induced Hill to turn states evidence,
and he disclosed the fact that there was .
regular gang OF thieves whose trade had
been to supply bogus insurance COM
panics, and companies with no capital,
with stolen bonds on which to conduCt
business, On Saturday, WishaII, leader
OF the gang, was arrested in New York,
and, yesterday, George II, Cow, W, j.
Stevenson and Peter Burns, members Of
WishaIl's gang, were arrested in Philadel.
phia and placed under $25O0 bond each.
Officers Of the secret service devision say
that one result Of their investigation will
be to expose number Of insurance com.
panies whose entire capital consists Of
these bonds.
