THE AGEEs.

! Once upon an evening hleary;
While sat me dreamy, dreary.
In the sunshine thinking DER
Things that passed in days of yore
While nodded nearly sleeping,
Gently came a something creeping
Up my back like water leaping--
Leaping upward from the floor;
"Tis a cooling breeze" muttered,
From the regions meath the floor
Only this and nothing more !"
Al distinctly remember
IL was in the wet September,
When the earth and every member
OF creation that it bore
Had for days and weeks been soaking
In the meanest, most provoking
Foggy rain that, without joking
We had ever seen before;
SO kaew il must he very
Cold and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor
SO sat me nearly narling
In the the sunshine stretching, gaping,
Craving water bat delighted
With the breeze from meath the floor
Til ! found me waxing colder,
And the stretching growing holder,
And mysel; feeling Older
oder than IL fit before;
Feeling that my lnints were SITTER
Than they we've in days of yore-
Sitter than they'd been before!
All along ny back the creeping
Soon gave pace TO rushing, leaping,
As il countless frozen demons
Had concluded to explore
Al Tie cavities -''the varmints -
Twix me aud my neither garm, njs,
Up into my hair aud downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then found myself Il shaking,
Graily first, hut more and more
Every moment more and more.
Twas the lager r ard it shook me
In my clothes, and shuok me
Shaking To the ki,chcn-every
Place where there was warmth IN store
Shaking till the dishes Gathered,
Shaking till the tea was battered,
Shaking and with all my warming
Feeling colder than before
Shaking I'll II had exhausted
All its power TO shake no moro
Till it could not shake me more.
Then il rested till the morrow,
Then resumed with ali the horror
That it had IT," ace TO TO row,
Shaking ,!akiuga rs before;
AMI from tl.at day in September
Day that | shall long remember
IL has made diurnal visits,
Shaking, shaking on so sore;
Shaking oil my boots, and shaking
Ne to bed. if nothing more
Fully this and nothing morel
And to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
Moodily within the sunshine
Just inside my chamber door
Waiting for the lager" seeming
Like a man forever dreaming
And the sunshine on me streaming
Throws no shadow on the floor
For | am too thin and sallow
To make shadows on the floor
Nary shadow any more

She wouldn't Speak TO Him

When young Chicago man came
down stairs the other morning, he re.
membered that his wife. who was pre-
pairing breakfast, had not spoken to
him when she got up, and so he cheer
fully said: Good morning, little lady.
Not word came in reply.
GOOD morning" he said again, in a
higher key, thinking that she might
not have heard him before.
"Um-'m-'m," was all that escaped
from her sealed lips, as she kept on
with the work.
Why under the sun don't you answer
me? exclaimed he, in surprise. What's
the matter? What have l done to of
fend you?
Um-'m-'m, was still the only
sound ELECTED.
Look here! then exclaimed the hus-
band, as he jumped up and Knocked
over Il cup of coffee; don't swallow a
mouthful of this breakfast until you
tell me what's the matter.
What's the matter? echoed she, sud.
denly turninground with flashing eyes.
And then she continued: John Adell

that 1 see you kissing another woman,

FROM OVVENsIsORO,
Editors. Herald.

Editors. Herald.
1t is very seldom that I am taken
with the cacaetbcs scibeadi, but as / am
feeling n little inclined that way thi,
evening, | will try and write you a few
of the local happenings about Owens
boro, hoping that they may meet your
approval.
Politics have been the chief excite.
ment here for the last two months, but
things in that line have abatcd consid,
erably in the last day or two, but still
enough patriotism is manifested to en-.
sure us that we will have the grandest
Notification ever witnessed in Owens
bOro, if Tilden and Hendricks are sue
cessful in securing the Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States.
Democrats here feel confident that lit.
tie Florida will turn up all right yet.
A general revival in business is no
ticeable. Tobacco; of which this coun-
ty is so justly famous, is beginning to
come into market, but the trade
has not yet fully opened up yet. 1t is
already daily occurrence to sec as
many as two or three hundred wagons
loaded with this staple on the streets.
We do say, and belive that we can sub
stantiate the same, that Owensboro has
the best tobacco market in the State
We have twenty large factories, and
all do a very heavy business every
season.
In the way of buildings, Greensboro
is second to no city in the State of
equal population, and far ahead of
some which out number her. New
business hOnses are being erected upon
most every vacant lot on our main
thOroughfares, and new residences are
going up allover the city. Cap. Frank
Hall is building one of the finest Halls
to be found in the Green river country
which will be completed in n short
time.
Now, in the way of amusement
we have quite 4 variety.
We have hops, theatres, musical
concerts, Or something of the kind
nearly every night. Last week we
had Thornton's Theatrical Troupe,
this week Madame Rentz's Female
Minstrels have the boards. This is
their first appearance in this city. On
the 10th of December our citizens will
have the pleasure of listening to Mr..
Theodore Tilton, in one of his enter
tanning lectures. Thus you see we are
not behind the times in many respects

The President last Monday signed a
pardon for VIM. o. Avery, now confn-

The Boy Lawyer and the widows
Curls.

| Curls.
n clever young boy living on Prairie
Avenue has had his life made burden
to him by the imposition of a young
widow who boards with his pa and ma.
She is always sending him on err,
rands, and when he does them, instead
Ofgiving him quarter or even saying
"thank you" she pitches into him for
being so long or doing it so badly.
The troddcn boy turned at last, and
last week when she sent to hair store
on west Madison street with her
wealth Of golden ringlets to have a
curl put into them, he leaned pen
siyely over the railing of the bridge
and let a stream of jute and things that
would have made Berenice or Mrs. s.
A. Allen jealous, cascade into the Guilty
ripping stream. Then he went home,
reaching the paternal domicile Just as
the family were sitting down to tea.
Said the young widow.
"Charly, did you deliver my parcel?
When did they say it would be done?
What long time you were gone. If
| were boy l could have gone there
and back twice in the time"
"Yes'm," he replied meekly.
"Well, when will it be done?"
"They didn't say
Didn't say? Didn't you give them
the parcel?"
Nom; l found it, but l lost the
things"
"Lost the things? How?'
'They fell into the river.
"Well, you are nice boy to send on
a message. fl was your father I'd
take the hide ofl'n you with stick.
"But, madam, replied the boy with
dignity, "you are not my father nor
yet my mother. [Sensationl Besides,
not being common carrier, and not
having entered into contract with You
to carry your parcels forand in consid-
Grafton Of any sum, have incurred no
ability, and am liable to no penalty.
III had undertaken to carry the parcel
for my own particular profit my father
even would not have been responsible
for its loss, (see Butler VS.. Basing, &c.
q P. 514, } unless, indeed, he paid me
smaller wages because of the oppor-
tunity thus afforded me to make small
sums. On this point l will only quote
Dwight VS.. Brewster, 1 Pickering
(Miss) 80. But, rising from the law
to the equity of the case, l have only
to say =" but before he could say it
his father had moved the young chef
justice from the room, and, in the safe
seclusiOn of the back shed engaged in
friendly remOnstrance with him. The
young widow shed a grateful wink at
him on his return, while the boy went
up stairs and slept on his all-fours like
a mule. Despairing of obtaining JUS
tice, or even hearing at the tribunal,
the boy has taken an appeal to his
mothers suprume court, where he will
bring the case up for final adjudication
on 4 writ ofeetioraioi, obtained by put
ting up a lock of that young widows
false golden hair in a piece of silver
paper and slowing it a way in his pas
pocket the evening after his mother
has given her husband letter to post.
The boy thinks his ma will look
through his pockets, as her hair is black
and she is very jealous, he has no doubt
whatceer but that the decision will be
reversed with heavy damages against
the widow-Chicago Tribune.

MARrnA's VINEYARD, July 81, 1876
The remnant Of the Brooklyn Yacht Club squadron
anchored in Vineyard Haven this afternoon, after a
brilliant and enjoyable run from Newport Orders to
start given at six o'clock, and few minutes
thereafter the boats that obeyed them working
down the harbor. These the Kate, Caprice,
Es,ec Clio Madeleine and Mantle, the latter having
arrived in Newport midnight. The weather fair,
with light breeze from the northeast, making the
outlook not the most encouraging, with the wind
holding in that point the job OF beating here would
have occupied the entire day.
Upon that point the yachtsmen were soon pleasantly
relieved, however, as about eight O'Clock tho wind
was fresh and steady. Then the flyers sent
light canvas aloft, and merry struggle
ensued between tho Estele, Clio and Madeleine
which only terminated at the dropping OF
anchors. The fight OF the Estcllc and Clio par
ticuary brilliant aud occasion during tho cruise
has there been friendly contest SO attractive For
hours they were within hailing distance, one with
the advantage and then the other, until they stood
aopg the beach at the entrance OF Vineyard Haven
when the Estee worked ahead of her saucy compct-
and crossed her bows But the race was neither to
the swift nor to the strong, as the Clio by skilful
mapGuvre OF her captain, outwitted the Estelle in
