CRICKETs.

In twiiights Of the waning year,
When days abridge their summer noise,
The cricket bushes n to hear
His brooding DER the seasons Joys
His note l. Natures retrospect,
That solaces her mind In change;
A hundred DAYS OF flowers are wrecked
And stranded on it, tender range.
Broad dawns that stirred the lids of earth,
First breaths OF the unsullicd days,
Long hours whose only toll was mirth,
Whose sails we set for western bays,
And shook our sunset colors out
As signals 10 the evening star
That in the 0ffing beat about
To show Us reefs Of dusk afar;
The summer nests that throbbed to keep
blitheness i'm the silent trees
All night. 20 pipe us from our sleep
The cricket broods and thinks of these.
From empty nests the carols drop
To soft regret among the grass;
And stems no longer flame atop
To light short afternoons that pass.
MY summer lays bordering ear
Along the ground, and listens well.
As all the footsteps Of the year
Upon the edge OF distance swell,
They fade, they shrink TO this thin tone,
on every trembling nerve IL plays.
OF rvses plucked. OF meadows mown
II tells, OF all my perfect days;
OF moments tuned By new delight.
OF thoughts that scared upon their wing
And balanced. sung my secret plight
That whole surprise OF bl0ssoming,
Those bumpers OF dauntless vein,
Poured often as my June came near
To pledge 10 Natures new refrain;
That kiss-warln solstice of my year

Nearly century ago, says the Char
lottesyille (Va.) Chronicle, there lived
in the town Of Charlottesville young
man who played prominent part in
society circles. He was an accomplish.
ed dancer, dressed in fashionable style,
and was the central figure at balls and
parties. Upon one Of these festive oc.
casions wag, who was present, attach
ed bundle Of rags to the coat-tail Of
the youth, and with this absurd append
age to his otherwise faultless apparel he
went through the mazes Of the dance
with the beautiful bellies Of the day.
When he discovered the trick that had
been played upon him, the young man
was so deeply mortified that he ever af.
terward eschewed society, and lived
the life of hermit. Abandon
ing the gay world, he betook
himself TO small building
which stood on the site of the present
residence of Mr.. James Dolin, and COM
menced the sale of whisky. The door
Of his den was fastened with og-chain,
and it was never opened wider than was
necessary to admit the quart bottle Of a
thirsty customer. At first he bought
the liquor by the jug and retailed it by
the pint, but as business grew brisk he
purchased barrel, and finally when
the price Of whisky got down to twenty
cents per gallon, he was enabled by his
rapid accumulations to fill his cellar
He lived thus for many years, never
leaving the premises in daylight except
at the May term Of the County Court,
when he would emerge from his den
clothed in a drab, swallow-tailed coat,
reaching nearly to the ground, and a
pair Of leather breeches, walk to the
Courthouse, procure his license and re-
turn to his hole. After night be would
visit pump near tho Courthouse. and
some people said that on dark nights he
would extend his walks into the country.
About forty years ago or more, one
rainy morning, when customer knock
ed at the door Of this singular individ-
ual, then an old man, there was no re-
Spouse. The door was forced open, and
the solitary occupant was found To be
dead. A committee of citizens was APP
pointed to examine the premises. The
cellar was found well stored with liquor
mellowed by age, and beneath the
ground, buried in earthen crooks,
$4,000 in specie were brought to the
surface. Probably, with prophetic
vision Of broken Charlottesville banks.
he was hard money man in the strict
est sense Of the word A log Of wood,
upon which the head Of the miser rest
ed, and a blanket, covering his stiffened
limbs, constituted the furniture Of the
miser's home His only ledger was a
slate, upon which was found statement
Of the amount of cash on hand, which
tailed with the contents Of the earthen
jars. The name of the old man was
John Yeargen. There are many Of our
old citizens who remember him well,
and whose mouths water when they
think Of the superior liquid refreshments
purchased for 81 gallon through the
crack In the miser's door. There were
no Moffett bells TO ring in Johnny Year

The Tweed Disclosures.
NEW YonK, March 90

NEW YORK, Marcn 10
The Tribune says O'Conor demanded as
one of the conditions OF Tweed's release,
that he furnish evidence that Judge Folger
of the court of appeals had been elected by
fraudulent votes in New York city. Tweed
declined. Subsequently he ascertained that
Woodruff had made full confession, and
delivered to the prosecution a trunk full of
Cancelled checks, showing the distribution
of the Tammany corruption fund in the
courts, assembly, departments, and news
paper offices all over the country.
They involve forty or fifty per-
sons, mostly living, and not pre-
viously known to be implicated. Tweed
then acceded to the demand and began
making restitution. Tweed will 10 re-
leased next Thursday, and will then be
called upon TO corroborate Ingersoll's and
Woodward's testimony, that Sweeny and
Hall knew oil about the frauds aud re-
ceived their percentage of the plumber in
bills instead OF checks. The real estate

Tweed's brother, sons and others will prob
ably amount to 81 200, 900. The total sum
recovered from the ring thieves will be
about S3,0OO,OO0 Sweeny will probably
restore about $500, 900. His real estate
operations with Tweed, Connolly and
Tom Murphy were failures. Woodward,
Tweed and Sweeney combined, can, it is
now asserted, show as two, at least, of
them claim First, that Hall was paid
percentage of spols In bills second, that
he was largely interested In one or two
city contracts; third, that the defense that
he acted in a ministerial capacity was
based on the record of what purported to
be a meeting of the board of audit which
never was held, and which record was
manufactured after the ring exposures
were made.
