IN MEMORIAM.

There have been few more beautiful

might almost wish to die If he knew
that so beautiful a tribute as this would
be written to his memory"
On the bosom of river, 5s.-.,
Where the sun unloosed its culver
And the starlight cleaned forever
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung like mamma
On the bright folds of her banner,
And the Zephyrs rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea. -
At her Prov pilot beaming ..e4.r-e
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from above. IS
Through his hair the soft breeze sported,
And as on the wave he aoated
Oft that pilot, angel-throated,
Warbled lays of hope aud love.
Through those locks so blithely flowing
Buds of laurel bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from a Tyre of gold.
Swiftly down the stream he glided,
Soft the purple wave divided,
And a rainbow arch divided,
On its canvas snowy fold.
Anxious hearts with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to the ocean,
PRAYED that never wild cemmotion,
Midst the elements would rise.
And he seemed some yOung Apollo,
Charming summer winds to follow,
While the water flags carollo
Trembled to his music sighs-
Butthose purple waves enchanted,
Rolled beside city haunted
BY an awful spell that daunted
Every conner to the shore,
Night shades rank the air encumbered,
And pale marble statues numbered
Where the lotus dreamers slumbered,
And awoke 20 life no more.
Then there rushed with lightning quick
ness
Der his face a mortal sickness,
And the dew in fearful thickness = -
Gathered o'er his temple fair,
And there swept dying murmur
Through the lovely Southern summer,
As the beauteOus pilot conner
Perished at that city there.
Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his culver,
And the starlight streams forever
On its bosom as before.
But that vessels rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
And that pilots lutte drops mamma
On the purple wave no more. 1.f

Old Newspaper Files.

The Senior Editor of the New
York O6ser0er. writing from Dres-
den. says:
In the royal library in this elegant
capital Of Saxony. a library Of 500.
900 volums, I was surprised to fnd
a complete file of the London Times.
in bound volumes, from No. to the
present year! l wonder if there is
a set in the United States of Ameri
ca. AS a repository of English his
tory, what could be more impor-
tant?
The Journal des Debats Of Paris, a
paper which in France has been al.
most the same as the Times in Eng
land, ia also here, from it's first num-
Der. Even more Interesting is the
fact that found ii this library
file of the Dresden Neavs from its
foundation in 1860 down to the pre-.
sent time, in bound volumes, the
first scarcely larger than 12mo
book; a continuous series for 2I7
years Thus, in the same niche,
within reach Of any student of his,
tory, are complete files of the Lon
don Times. the Paris Debats, and the
Dresden Nes0s, English. French. and
German, picture Of the social and
political events of Europe and the
world?
Besides these there are in the
same library, perfect collections of
all historical works on each and
every country, with maps and charts
and all needed facilities to illustrate
and assist in the study. It was ex-
ceedingly gratifying to find a COM
plete collection of documents relat-
ing to the United States of Ameri-
ca. The statesman, the student or
the general reader would readily lay
his hand on anything he wants, in
the history or present condition of
the world.
When to this I add that the Iibrai-
ans and assistants were free and
cordial in exhibiting the treasures
of this vast repository, far more so
than the custodians of jewels and
pictures in the galleries, you will
readily believe that my morning in
the Dresden library was more inter-
esting and instructive than any 9TH
er in that beautiful city. 1t was
something to see original letters
that passed between Luther and
Melancthon to see manuscripts of
the Bible that cost years of pious
toll; illustrated copies of celebrated
works. on which lives had been con-
sumed. All such treasures, like
works Of art, have their uses, and
when one is in search of the interest
ing they answer the purpose But I
must say, after all, that | have great
respect for complete file of an old
newspaper, and shall always asso2i-
ate with these my pleasant memo~
ries Of the Dresden Library.

A Plot for a Novel.

Last week the whitehall pa
pers contained the simple notice Of
the marriage of S. Lyman Dwight,
Of that place, to Mrs Nancy Adams,
of Carson City. NeY. Away back
in the year 1927 Lyman Dwight vas
q lad seventeen years old, poor, ac-
customed to earn his own living.
About that time lie became devoted
to a girl two years younger, and the
young mans sentiments were un-
questionabiy reciprocated BY her.
Her family was q wealthy one.
About that period Dwight obtained
employment on sIoop that piled
the waters of Lake Champlain. and
while following that calling left his
native village. South Hero. The
girls parents learned OF his voea-
tton, and considering it too meniai.
demanded that all intercourse be.
tween the two should cease. Find
ing that the dictates of love still
oyercame all obstacles while the
young people were near each other,
the girl was taken to ST. Lawrence
county to live, and as the time went
on she apparently forgot the choice
of fermer days. for she married a
man named Adams, who became in
fused with the gold fever of 1849
and departed for California. lie
was industrious. and accumulated a
fortune from gold mining. About
1858 his family joined him on the
Pacific slope and remained there un-
til the children had become heads OF
families. Sometime in 1857 the
elder Adams died, and his widow re-
mained single, devoting herself to
the family, of which certain men,
bars have become prominent per>
sons-one son at present filling the
position OF Lieutenant Governor OF
Nevada, while another is the Mayor
of Carson City, in the same State.
During this long interval Dwight
fingered around the vicinity where
he was born. and after embarking in
several different callings. finally be-
came a successful merchant. He
was also married, but his wife died
some three years ago. Learning by
chance where Mrs Adams lived, the
attachment for hia first love again
asserted itself, aud correspondence
VAS commenced. After q few
months he for the second time pro-
posed marriage, and no obstacle pre-
venting, she came from Nevada a
few weeks ago and met Mr. Dwight,
the two not having seen each other
since they were separated. as stated.
On Sunday, September 80, they met
at the Iodine Spring House, South
Hero-the home Of their childhood
and were married by Rev. George
S. Guernsey. Thus, after space
of fifty years has elapsed, they are
at last united and living contentedly
together at Whitehall, where Mr.
Dwight, who is 67 years old, carries
on the hardware business.

After VIII Honey.

The senses of the bees are very
acute. By the aid of smell they
find the sweetest flowers. and thus
the delicate cleanliness of the hive
is preserved. While certrin odors
are very attractive to them, Others
are excessively repugnant. This
fondness for certain perfume is used
by beehuntcrs in discovering the
nests of Wild bees. When wild bees
are seen lettering around, an un-
right stake, to the upper end Of
which is attached a small hofizontal
platform, is planted somewhere near;
on this platform is placed bit of

pended an open phia1 Of annie. an

A Story OF the Great Riot.
By FANNIE A. STALL ALDEN

A..
81 tell ye, there'Il be bloody work
here before morniu', muttered one
ofthe roughest looking Of crowd OF
laboring men who were vending their
way toward Tompkin's Square on
the evening of July 25th 1877. Riot
was abroad in the land. It's hand,
already stained With blood was rails
ed in three states of the Union, and
tonight one finger menaced New
York city.
It was a lovely moonlight night.
and yet its very loveliuess hreathed
of danger Armed men patroIled
the streets, and quiet citizens brought
out muskets that had been idle for
gears, saw to their loading and prim-
ing, and lay down to rest with pis-
tolls beneath their pillows. In fact,
they may be said to haye literally
slept with one eye open.
And still they gathered; knots Of
a dozen or so; suIIen. determined
men, gradually swelling the crowd at
Thompkins Square until m numbers
it ran up to thousands.
The hours wore on. A feiut at
forming a procession had been bro
ken up by the police, The crowd
scattered. only to meet in groups Of
five or six in retired streets or hous-
es, where the vigilant eye of the
Law would not dream of finding them.
What did it mean?
A number Of these men were hol-
ding conference in a tumOled-down
house on Avenue A Their leader
was a sturdy youth with brawny
arm and fiery blue eye. He talked
low and rapidly, and the men listen
ed with rapt attention to every word
that fell from his lips.
Evidently there vas mischief brew
ing. and this mischief was soon to be
put into execution.
Just outside the rickety door there
erouched, in the shadow, a listener.
That listener was a fair-faced. slim

She leaned forward. with baited
breath, to catch every word. Then.

point of breaking up, and starting.

city, the young girl, pressing her
hands to her heart slid from her hid

for aid. sped rapidly away.
Once a policeman accosted her.
She spoke to him for few minutes.
and then hurried on. Pausing at

Fifth avenue, Sc rang the bell, and
when ;be summons was answered by
a gentleman who had evidently not
closed his eyes in sleep that night
it was now two O'clock in the morn
