Another Good Brooklyn Man Exposed.

Edward A. Lambert, ex-Mayor of
Brooklyn, and a gentleman OF hitherto un-
blemished reputation, is said to be detaulter.
He was left in charge, mine years ago, of an es-
tate CT 5000, lett by her deceased husband
to Mrs. Nina II. Cook, his sister-in-law. Sus-
picion OF his honesty was first aroused about
three years ago, when an insurance company
of which he was president was sold out to an
other company. and $4,000 fell into Lambert's
hands for services in effecting the negotiation.
This he was compelled to disgorge. Mrs.
Cook entrusted the investigation Of her affairs
to lawyer who declared that he was warrant
ed in making the assertion that Lambert is a
detaulter to the amount of 900. He COM
PEELED Lambert to surrender what property he
was known to possess in restitution for the
defalcation. Lambert is married man and
an elder in the Fort Greene Presbyterian
church in Brooklyn.

R7 WILLIAM TENNYsoN HEAToN, AUTHOR OF
SONGS OF THE SHENANDOAH.
Think of me sometimes tho may be,
Far away in a foreign land.
When the dew is bright on the upland lea,
And the field of wheat by the breeze's famed,
Shine bright in the Autumn-tlme's golden
sheen,
When the corn is stacked on the distant hill.
Then think of me-our by-gone DREAM
And our tryst by the ruined mill.
When the twilight hour, thro the shadowy
glade,
Creeps on in the evenings gloam.
And the death of day sleeps the earth in shade,
Then let one kind thought roam.
Back to the days when life was sweet,
And brighter seemed the stars,
When at golden cen, thro' the fields of wheat,
You came to the meadow bars.
When Springs fair feet, by forest and stream
Followed afar the shining flowers;
Beneath the moonlight's silvery CLEAN,
And in the dewy morning hours,
Pluck one fair bud from their woodland home
And think of the days gone by,
When sorrows were like the oceans foam.
Or the south-wind's gentle sigh.
When Autumn comes on with harvest moon
And the silent stars at even,
And the chill winds sweep with rythmi
tune,
The banks of the LONELY Devon:
Give one thought to the bright dead days,
When happiness rung the chime,
That tuned our hearts to the golden lays,
We sang in the olden time.
