TOUGH on A TAXPAYER.

He came slouching along last night,
apparently aded out. He stopped be-
fore the '-sD night" lamp at the Ninth
street Station House, and the glare
which shone on him as he stood mop
ping his touseled head revealed to the
officer in charge bent and decrepit
speciman of humanity, clothed in habili-
ments that, taken in alump, would hard
ly make one charge of gun-wadding.
After casting a wistful glance through
the door he said:
Can / put up at this hotel to night,"
No room, boss; chuck full"
-Oh, that's too thin, Captain. I'm
mighty near tuckered out lemme hang
up with you till mornin'?"
Couldn't think Of 1T old pard. Bet
ter push on up to Hammond street"
Now, my dear sir, how am l to go
there tonight Ny feet feel like a
couple of dumb bells on a tow string"
Well, pick 'em up, and rush on up to
Bremen street"
@Now, see here, will you take me or
not?'
Il will-not."
You won't, sure enough"
Il won't, by gracious"
Well, all I've got to say is that's hell
Of a way to treat taxpayer.
And the weary, busted and demora-
lized tramp turned on his heel, and
slouched away in the gloom.

ALICE CARY's SWEETEST POEM.

Of all the beautiful pictures
That hangs on Memory's wall.
Is one of a dim old forest
That seemeth best Of all:
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe;
Not for the violets golden
That sprinkle the vale below,
Nor for the milk-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge:
Not for the VINES on the upland
Where the bright red berries resi-,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale, sweet cowslip
1t secmeth to me the best.
once had little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of that Olden forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow.
We rOved there the beautiful summers.
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hill grew weary.
And one of the autumn ewes
made for my little brother
A bed of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face:
And when the arrows OF sunset
Lodged in the tree-tops bright,
He fell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
The one of the dim old forest
Scemeth the best Of all.

A TWO-HEADED RATTLESNAKE.

A large rattlesnake was killed in
Breathitt county, Minnesota, a few days
ago tina: proved to be quite curiosity.
1t was perfectly formed, save it had two
well developed necks and heads. The
prongs of the necks were about four in
ches long, and the snake used both
heads at the same time, striking with
both, and thrusting out its tongues in a
spiteful manner, and had the appear
ance Of two snakes-so much so that the
parties who killed it did not discover
the deformity until his snakeship was

Breathitt, as authority for the above and

THE SILVER.

The sunset fades along the shore.
And faints behind yon rosy reach of sea.
Night falls again, but ah, no more.
No more, no more
My love returns to me.
The lonely moon builds soft and slow
Her silver bridge across the main.
But him who sleeps the wave below.
Love mourns in vain:
All no. ah no,
He never comes again.
But when some night, beside the sea,
watch, when sunsets red has ceased TO
burn.
That silver path, and sigh, "Ah me,
All me, ah me,
He never will return"
If on that bridge of rppling light
His homeward feet should find their wav
lshould not wonder at the sight.
But only say,

METROPOLITAN NEWS.
Fr1m our Special Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 18th, 1877

NEW YORK, Sept. 18th, 1877.
The bright fresh September weather,
which was briefly interrupted by a sort
of equinoctiai herald, gave a decidedly
clearer and livelier aspect to affairs here
than they have seemed to enjoy for
months. Business men are hoping for a
revival of trade and that the day of fl
nancial hard-pan has not only been
reached but has past by. Politicians are
on the alert regarding the coming cleo
tions, the early birds who have been
away summering, but who return to
their nests for many reasons are once
more to be seen on our streets, and alto
gether the hang-dog look that pervaded
everything awhile ago seems to be van
ishing.
The very worst pessimist in our midst
leans slightly towards optimism. The
stock market is still going up, albeit the
bears declare it rotten to the core and
that some Of these fine days when that
imperturable Mephistopheles, Jay Gould,
shall cease being a sort of financial imi-
tation of Sampson, the whole fabric will
come tumbling about the ears of the
Taurean Philistines.
By the way, among the side issues of
the Wall street brokers who alternate
their gambling excitement with school
boy play, are certain laws which they
make, that all must obey or taste the
consequences. One of these is now post
ed on the Stock Exchange, calling in all
,chue hats on the 18th of September.
Woe betide the man who shall dare ap-
pear on the floor of that money chargers
temple with the Objectionable article of
wearing apparel after that day. Bulls
and Bears will alike take umbrage and
be will be fortunate if he escapes with
out personal injury in the tossing and
hugging that will follow.
The terrible calamity of the Hale fac
tory fire should bring lesson with 1t,
but will it's the question Wehave a
very much and expensively governed
city with ample provision against the
erection Of such fire traps as that proved,
but myopia is disease very prevalent
in many of our public departments and
there seems to be difficulty in finding the
proper sort Of lens to correct the visual
trouble.
There is a strong feeling in regard to
the matter, however, the general public
not vet having learned to look upon
their fellow men as mere fuel for such a
holocaust. Still so long as some men
can save fifty per cent oftheir capital ny
running up such shells they will do So
1t puts money in their purses In ten
wears If they stand, and if they burn
down, insurance covers their loss, and
what are few human lives weighed IN
the balance?
Divorces are as numerous in our
courts now as marriages are in spring
time. If the young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of love at that season
in autumn, anger, malice and all un-
charitableness seem to prevail, and the
divorce suit is sought as the peacemaker.
The latest sensation, however, Is an
