BOYHOoD.
BY CHARLES HAMMOND.

How oft amid the sordid strife
OF worldly visions have turned
To memory's scenes of early life,.
And DER my joyous boyhood mourn
ed;
How oft have wished, mid care ant
pain,
To be that joyous boy again.
To sleep beneath the slanting roof,
And hear the pattering rain-drops
fall,
Or listen to the lively proof
OF vagrants round my airy hall;
Yet rise at morn with wanted glee,
TO wade the brook or climb the tree.
To join the sturdy reaper's train,
What time the lark her matin sings,
When mounting with impassioned
strain
She bathes in light her glittering
wings.
And poised in air is scarcely seen
So high amid the dazzling sheen.
Twas mine to trap beside the stream,
Or angle meath the alder shade,
To tend the plOw, to drive the team,
Or seek the herd in distant glade,
Where oft from clustering thickets
shrill
Rang out the notes of whip-poor-will.
Those trembling notes, SO long, so wild,
Were music to nv bOyish ear;
Thought backward fiies-and as child
Fen now methinks the sound I hear /;
While fancy spreads before my eye,
The dewy glade and moOnlit sky.
The flowing herd now vending slow
Along the wood their homeward way !;
The winding streams dark CLASSY flow,
The lillied vale, the woodland gay,
Still float in yisssOns broad and bright,
AS OH that balmy Summers night.
When standing on the distant hill,
With boy-bOrn fancies wandering
free,
/ saw no spectred form of ill
Rise in the bright futurity;
But all, instead, was joyous, clear,
Buoyant with hope, untouched with
fear.
Oh, these were boyhood's cloudless
hours,
And sweet on wings unsullied flew;
DuI pTiuc sOOu uTcdIlicu VI lOlIlcI uOh-
ers,
And wealth her golden lustre threw
O'er tempting scenes, as false as fair,
And bade my spirit seek her there.
And have sought her-not in vain,
might have piled her treasures high,
But that | scOrned her sOrdid reign,
And turned me from her sOulless eye;
L could not delve her dirty mine,
And would not worship at her shrine.
l would not stop to flatter power,
For any vile and selfish end;
| would not change with every hour
My faith, my feelings or my friend;
And least of all would l entrust
My hopes to the accursed dust.
The God that reared the woodland
heights,
And spread the fiow'ry valleys wide,
And walked within my mind delights
That spurn the lures of human pride;
And, stern, forbade in accents known,
To worship aught beneath His throne.

From Lebanon,

Thinking that many would like to
hear wor,l from Lebanon. about its
situation and institutions, we shall en-
deavor TO give q brief outline OF them.
Lebanon has been town for eighty
wears. Ii is small, and contains from
! three to four thousand inhabitants, some
of whom are old settlers. Most of the
buildings are of old date and style. IL
Is elegantly laid out into large squares.
It's streets run east and west north and
south, and are well macademised. Its
sidewalks are not laid with the costliest
stone, but are of the most durable.
which are found in great quantities out
side of the city. 1t is called the FOSSIL
lferops limestone, and was formed du-
ring the palaeozoic period. Were Gallia
county as fun of limestone rs this coun-
", there would be some chance of hay-
ing aturnpike, unless the people vote it
down rs thes did few years ago.
Lebanon Is situated about five miles
north OF South Lebanon, Ga depot of
the Little Miami r. r. in verv fer
tile region, ann some OF the iInest farm
Ing lands In Ohio, and every foot of
ground can be titled, but cannot culti-
yate both sides like you can in some
parts Gallia. The land is worth from
20 to $50 dollars per acre, and but few
willing to sell.
This place is noted for its educational
institutions, which are under the SUPER
vision of Prof. HOllbrook, who estab-
lished them about twenty years ago,
and have been Il grand success ever
since. 1t has sent armies of teachers to
the broad lands of the United States, TO
instruct the youths of America. They
,rfc of fI,o
this institution to be Instructed by these
able normal teachers. There are some
here from the Golden State, and some
from the Keystone. The buildings of
these institutions are not the finest
kind, neither are they of the poorest.
We have seen better and worse school,
houses. These are so situated as to give
a little exercise to the pupils between
each recitation. These commence at
six O'Clock in the morning and continue
until nine in the evening, and if pu-
Pill wishes, he may attend all of them.
The teachers take great care in order to
give proper instruction tC each pupil.
There are about five hundred students
here at present, but only five from Gal
liza. Several have been here from Gallia
and are doing well. Should any teach
er wish a thorough training, this is the
place to get it. Connected with the
school is beautiful library of selected
books that treat on all topics.
Changers are numerous, but as in
Gallia, they have not established their
branch store vet.
Politics receive but little attention
Mt present, but there is some talk of the
Cincinnati Republican Convention,
which meets In June. Some think that
Blaine will get the nomination, others
Hayes. Success to Hayes.

THE SURGEONS STORY.
"Will YOU buy nv body. sir?'

"Will you buy my body, sirr'
/, Charles Markham, young ply
sician, was sitting alone in. the dus-
ky little room that the sign without
signified with the title of "office,"
when these words fell upon my ears.
l had just returned from visiting the
few patients l could boast Of,
thoroughly heart sick at the want of
humanity in the world, wet to the
skin, and more than half froze.
I never remember of q worse
night in all respects.
1t was cold as the Arctic, buster
ing, and the sleet that ratified upon
the window soon covered them with a
coat of ice. 1t had stOrmed heavily
all day, the stores were closed, and
the side walk venders driven to shell
ter.
"God help any one that is forced to
be abroad tonight" had been
thought as / hurried along after fin
ishing my professional duties, and
breasted my way homeward.
But scarcely had | reached it,
changed my saturated garments,
coaxed the sparkling anthracite into
a cheerful glow and made myselfcom-
Portable, and begun building castles
in Spain of the time l should have a
lucrative practice, ride in my car
riage, and own a brown-stone front,
when the strange and heart-chilling
words fell upon my ears, causing all
my pleasant fancies to drift away in
an instant.
"Will you buy my body, sir?"
sprang from my easy chair, drop
ping my we'll colored merschaum in
my astonishment, and turned to see
who it was, that, like Poe's raven,
had uttered those terrible words.
"Will you buy my body, sir?'
The question was repeated for the
second time, before l had sufficiently
recovered myself to be convinced that
it came from no ill-omened bird, but
from a form of human semblance, at
least. Yet the question was so utter
ly unusual, so much at variance with
all preconceived notions of barter
and sale that all / could do was to
push chair toward the intruder,
and stand in silent wonderment.
In q few moments the self-com-
mand l had learned during my hos
pital practice, came to my aid, and |
saw that my visitor was a woman-or
girl, rather, for she could not have
been more than nineteen or twenty at
the utmost; and that, if it had not
been for the extreme pallor of the
face, the pinched-up look about the
mouth, and the sad, sunken eyes, she
would have possessed, far more than
is ordinarily the case, the gift of
beauty.
The Pickering light of the fire
flashed upon the soft, brown hair
giving it more golden glory, and dis
solving the snow fakes that had
lodged there, making them glitter
like liquid pearls. This much, and
that the dress and shawl were made
of the cheapest material, and but 9
poor defense against the bowling
storm and pittiless cold, and the
strange request darted again with
lightning rapidity through my brain

A Good Counterfe,t Nickel.

The smallest and meanest of all
counterfeits is now circulating in
great numbers throughout the coun-
try. 1t is a counterfeit five cent
piece, and it is worthless only because
the counterfeit, although it is iden-
tical in weight and fineness with the
genuine coin, and worth just as much,
is not made at the Mint. The five
cent piece is a sham and deceit at
best, for it costs the government, in
Guiding material, labor, ETC., less than
half a cent piece, or 10 per cent. of
its nominal value. Some of the
counterfeits were recently sent to the
Superintendent of the Mint at Phila-
delphia by the Treasurer for the pur-
pose of making inquiries and testing
their value. The Superintendent says
that the counterfeits have been es-
sayed and found to contain copper
and nickel in the legal proportion'
that the coins are of proper weight
size and finish, and just as valuable
as the good coin. The. only way 60
detect the spurious coins.is Dg tne
Imperfect impression of the legend

They were sure they would catch
Grant this time. The witness was
called to testify; the Democrats were
on tip-toe with expectation; the Re
publicaRs were interested, but ig-
norant and fearful. The doors of the
committee room were closed, the
marvellous story was told, and here
it is, as related by the correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette. Said the
witness:
Some years ago person in high
station did him 4 great injury; it be-
came important to the peace of mind
of that great parsonage that the wit
ness should be harmless. He hired
detectives and soon hurried him
to the Government mad-house. He
was kept there friendless and power
less for months. when one day the
agents of this great parsonage ap-
preached him, giving him choice be-
tween life Imprisonment with luna
tics, or life of exile in Europe. He
chose the latter. The detectives ac-
companied him to the steamer, and he
left for Europe. Becoming weary of
Europe he returned, and appeared
before the committee to day to tell
the story. The committee seemed
paralyzed in fact with astonishment
on their part with diaholical joy.
"Who was that great parsonage that
wronged you?' asked the Chairman.
"The President of the United States"
was the reply. "What wrong did he
do your" There the witness paused;
he would die before he would tell; it
was q delicate subject, and should
not be mentioned. For an hour the
committee piled him with questions;
they threatened him with imprison
ment, with severe punishment, with
the terrors of contumacy. At last
the witness yielded. He said that
the President of the United States
had done him a mortal wrong; that
he had ruined his (the witness J be-
trothed, and since that time the wit
ness had been prescribed and per-
secuted man. Hence, those detec-
tives; hence those mad-house bars.
The President had frequently come
to the house of the witness at the
dead Of night, and had importuned
him at his bedside not to ruin his
great fame. But, interrupted a Re-
publican member, how did the Pres
ident get to your bedside at that time
of night. Did he ring the bell?"
The climax had come; the Demo-
Gratis were enthusiastic in their JOY,
and were just ready to render their
verdict against the President when
the witness quietly interfered, 81 want
you to understand, gentlemen, that
President Grant in the body, never did
me or mine harm; he has only done
me that great wrong as a spirit"
The collapse came. The witness was
a mad-man. The committee instant
ly discharged him, and Immediately
ordered the stenographer to suppress
his notes, and begged the Republican
members to keep the matter silent.
One of the latter, with a good deal of
Indignation, said that he hoped he
might be as mad as the witness, if he
kept still. In this way the Demo
Gratis of the Committee on Expendi-
lures in the Interior Department
caught the President.
If the Democratic party wishes to
be saved from such disgraceful scenes
as this, they must stop sending
pumpkin heads to Congress.
