WILD ROSES.

On long, serene midsummer days
OF ripening fruit and yellowed grain,
How sweetly, by dim woodland ways,
In tangled hedge or leafy lane,
Fair wild rose thickets, you unfold
Those pale pink starr with hearts OF goldl
Your sleek patrician sisters dwell
On lawns where CLEANS the shrubs trim bosI
In terraced gardens, tended well,
Near pebbled walk and quaint kiosk.
In costIiest urns their colors rest;
They beam on beauty's fragrant breast!
But you in lowly calm abide,
Scarce needed save by breeze or bee;
You know what splendor, pomp and pride
Full oft your brilliant sstcrs see;
What sorrow, too, and bitter fears;
What mad farewells and hopeless tears!
How some are kept in old, dear books,
That once in bridal wrcaths were worn;
How some are kissed, with t nder looks,
And later tossed aside with scorn;
How some their taintless petals lay
On icy forehesds pale as they
So, while these truths you vaguely guess,
Abloom in many Lonesome spot,
Shy roadside roses, may you bless
The tate that rules your modest lot,
Like rustic maids that meekly stand
Below the ladies of their landi

After finishing his statement and say
ing, in reply to a question, that that was
all the facts he had to give that evening,
he started to leave, when one Of the COM
mittee protested against his doing so, and
Mr.. Shearman said he (Bowen) would not
be permitted to leave the room.
Mr.. Bowen stepped toward the door of
the front parlor, when Mr.. s. V. White
jumped up and locked the door, took the
key and put it in his pocket, and as he
saw Mr. Bowen looking toward the door
of the other room, Mr. White called out,
Lock that other door" and several men
jumped toward 1t. Every one jumped to
his feet, but Mr.. Bowen was too quick
and got to the back parlor door just be-
fore several of the crowd got to it. His
son, Henry E., lollowe:.., rushed to the
door, and called for the press, thinking
that they were there. Here Mr.. Henry G.
Bowen interposed energetically, thinking
there was going, to be row.
Mr.. Henry e. Bowen continued "My
father was in the hall, my brother and
DIR. Ward were in the parfor, and got
on the stoop outside and called for the
press, and the Associated Press reporter
and another rushed up, and Mr.. Bowen
told them of the occurrence. Then one
of Mr.. Bowen's sons upbraided Mr.
Wkite. Mr.. Bowen also expressed him
self very strongly in regard to the treat,
ment he received"
MR.. WHITES VERSION.
Mr.. S. V. White was visited, and his
version is substantially this:
Mr.. Bowen read statement of fifty
two pages, in which he failed to give
names or dates. 1t referred to scandals of
ten or eleven years ago. After reading Il
few pages he handed the paper to DR..
Ward. Then Mr.. Bowen stepped toward
the door, and Mr.. White, desiring to pro-
long the interview as much as possible,
and being seated near the door, turned the
key, withdrew it from the lock and put it
in his pocket. Mr.. Bowen stepped back
several feet, and, surveying the situation,

he darted in that direction, upsetting
chairs and other articles of household
furniture in his flight, and escaped from
the house. "Mr. Edward Bowen then
pointed to me, and said: Il will fix
you; you will pay for thisr Henry E.
Bowen then ran to the door, with dishev
eled hair flying wildly about, and shout
ed, Gentlemen of the press In re-
sponse to his cries the reporters Of the AS
sOciatcd Press and the New York Times
came up, and in response to their inqui-
ries Mr.. Henry E. Bowen besought his
brother not to make fool of himself, say
ing that l had made an ass of myself, and
that he (Mr. E. Bowen) couldn't better
the matter by shouting for members of the
press"

Henry c. Bowen and the Plymouth
Church Examining Committee.

AN Associated Press dispatch of the 23d
says very exciting and unlooked-for events
had occurred at a meeting Of the Ply
mouth Church Examining Committee,
held at Assistant, Pastor Halliday's house
in Brooklyn, on the evening of that day,
at which Henry c. Bowen appeared by in
vitation, accompanied by his sons Edward
and Henry E., and DR.. Ward, publisher
of the Independent.
HENRY E. BOwEN's VERSION.
The following is summary of Mr..
Henry E. Bowers account of the affair
On entering the room Mr.. Bowen was
astonished to find company Of forty or
fifty persons assembled, embracing the
members of the committee, the Chairman
of the Council in session, and others,
among the number being Henry Ward
Beccher, his sons Henry and William,
Oliver johnson and Benjamin F. Tracy
Mr.. Bowen being called upon for his
statement, presented and readit. Previous
to doing so, he expressed his surprise at
such large audience, and asked the rea-
son of their presence. He was told that
the committee never objected to his bring
ing his friends there; the idea was that
Mr.. Bowen had right to bring in any
friend he cared to; the only objection was
to reporters; that the company came with
the committees invitation, not Mr..
Becchcr's.
Mr.. Bowen replied that he had no OBJ
lection, but the responsibility of publicity
must rest with them; he said he came
there to present his statement TO the Ex-
amining Committee and nobody else;
that he should decline to give it to the
press, and if published it should be by
the Examining Committee and not by
him,

Old Age-ReflectiOns for the Young.

A CENTURY ago, it was respectable to
be old.
Children were taught to vcncrate old
age. The school-boys were instructed 10
lift their hats, and the schoolgirls were
taught to courtesy" whenever an Old
man or woman passed them by
Everybody gave way to old age. The
| warmcst place by the tireside, and the
softest chair in the house, belonged TO
grandfather; and if grandmother lost her
spectacles, or dropped stitch in her
knitting work, young hands and young
| ewes were ready to serve her at once.
Father used always to be consulted in
all business matters; and mothers all
vice and counsel were needed and re-
spected.
"Honor thy father and thy mother,
that thy days may be long in the land
| which the Lord thy God giveth thee!"
was taught to the children along with the
lesson:
"Who was the first MANI"
| "Who was the first woman -
| Reverence for old age was inculcated
from infancy, and the reckless youth who
would have dared venture scol al he
expense of gray hairs and totlerlng loot
steps would have felt the rod Of which
Solomon was the advocate.
How is it now?
Father is ''the old man." or "the gov
ernor." Mother is q the old gal"
Young men, in their strength and
thoughtlessness, push rudely past the
aged in all our public assemblies, and oc-
cupy comfortable seats in our street cars
and railway carriages, while the old man
and woman stand unsteadily and support
themselves by canes or crutches.
Young ladies, rosy and blooming-just
as that poor old touering woman once was
will crowd her away from the nre in our
public halls, and laugh with their gay
Young companions when her scanty gar

J Old age is laughed at. Gray hairs are

full of the fact that few more springs oil
bloom and few more autumnS ol decay
will bring gray hairs to take the place OF
the brown locks upon his temples, and
wrinklct burrows to displace the bloom
upon his smooth forehead.
Pause and reflect!
Old age is what we are all coming 10!
Nothing can save us from it but the
gravel -.
And if in the years coming, "hen
feebleness and decay shall fall upon u.s.
we would be respected and cared for by
those around us, let us now, in our youth
and strength, be thoughtful OF the aged.
For it is not truer that God liveth than is
the divine assertion:

1t will be remembered that during the
siege of Paris many dispatches were sent
out of the city, having been first reduced
by photography to microscopic size. M.
Dagron, the inventor of the process by
which the reduction was made, has lately
applied his system to the manufacture of
minute maps. The whole official map of
France may now be carried about in ones
pocketbook while the lens for examining
it requires scarcely any more room. The
French consider the invention one Of
great importance, and look forward to lis
use in the event of another war; there is
also some talk of employing it for educa-
Gonai purposes.

The Baptists have more churches
organized and more houses of worship
built in the city of Baltimore, within the
last half decade, than in the preceding
twenty years. All of these are supplied
with working pastors, in whom the con-
gregations are cordially united. They now
number fourteen churches within the city
limits-ten for white and four for colored
people.

Some analyses of the rapid corrosion of
iron in railway bridges show the presence,
in water solution Of the rust, of iron,
ammonia, sulphuric acid, and traces of
sulphurous acid and chlorine; and on
testing for carb0nic acid, it has been
found in considerable quantities. The es-
Gaping gases from the locomotive contain
carb0nic acid. carbonic oxide, moisture,
and, if there is sulphur in the coal, sui
phurous and sulphuric acid. The pres
ence of these acids, no matter in how
small quantity, is said to be sufficient to
promote rapid corrosion.

We saw lonely detected young patriot sitting
on curbstone up town last Tuesday, with his
elbows resting on his knees and his head between
his hands. Presently he arose and said to him
self:
"This is too much will show 'em how they
ought to git up and git on day like this. I'll
show EN- will"
And he went to his home and in fifteen minutes
he reappeared on the street. completely wrapped
in large American flag, while in one hand he
bore an old musket, and in the other bunch of
small flags. He came up town and marched
about in this style for some time, muttering all
the while something about George Washington
looking down on him with an approving eye, and
counting him as the only true patriot in Canton
on that day, But finally his patriotism got the
better Of him, and he ran into an alley and let
loose every bit of the spirit that moved him in
one sad upheaval.

ELoPEMENT.-on last Saturday or Sunday, n
genuine elopement occurred, both parties being
from this city. About eighteen months ago, a
printer named John NJ. Kelly, came to Canton
and obtained work on case in the DEMOCRAT
office, and took up his abode at the Farmers Ho.
tel, formerly the Lafayette, corner Fourth and
Market streets. Kelly is a good compositor, and
for year or more past has attended closely to
work, and kept sober and lived temperately
saving his money. For some time past suspicious
have been entertained among the inmates of the
Farmers Hotel that an improper intimacy ex-
listed between Kelly and Mrs, Conrad, wife of
David Conrad, proprietor of the hotel Conrad is
a respectable and honest citizen, and seems to
have been slow in recognizing the fact that his
wife was not acting as she should. On last Sat.
urday she returned from visit to the east, and It
was then that proof positive was obtained as to
the true state of affairs Mr.. Conrad acted sensi-
bly, about the affair, not growing heated or vio-
lent at ALL but treating the matter in cool and
deliberate way 1t is not known what passed be.
tween him and his wife, or if any words occurred
between him and Kelly, but on Saturday after
the developments that occurred, Kelly moved
his trunk to the Jackson house, one door north, ,
and that night he left on the ten o'clock train,
going only to Alliance where he remained till
Sunday morning, when he was joined by the uu.
faithful woman, and together they went away, it
snot known where. The affair is at best a la
mentable one, owing to the reSpectabllity of Mrs
Conrad's connections and the good character of
her husband, Kelly is apparently about forty
years of age, medium height slightly stopped and
Slouchy gated, gray hair and long flowing
brown beard, slightly mixed with gray. Mrs
Conrad is 95 or 3S years of age and quite good
looking and prepossessing. Nobody connected
with the affair wants to see either of the parties
particularly.
