That the sunshine of youth has lonp
fitted away.
Those bright days of pleasure have
flown like dream.

stream
Then why should sigh DER youths
faded flowers.
Its gardens of beauty and sweet scented
Its myrtles and pines that grew on the
shore
OF the streamiet I loved. shall greet
them no more.
There a mother first taught me those
lessons Of trnth
That oft bring me back TO the days of
my yonth;
And again / repose in that mothers
arms b!essed
With prayers for the infant that slept
on her breast.
And my father. ] see him. though from
earth passed awsy.
AS in those old days ere his locks had
grown gray,
Where in childhood played by that
fond fathers knee.
Now gone to his rest meath the lone
willow tree.
Again fond sisters arms round me
arc thrown
As they were when we rnamed through
the forests at home,
When meath the old clms and the hem
locks we strayed.
And We plucked the wild flowers that
grew in the glade.
I see the old school house-it seems
like a dream
Just the same as Of old by that silvery
stream
Tha. flowed by the fcnce-the log
fence-where each day
We boys oft at base ball and marbles
did play.
And the master is there with bis old
birchen rod
That he sent the to cut with his knife
in the wood:
And many schoOlmate remembers to-
day
How tn. rule and the rod Of that mas
ter held sway.
How sweet are those dreams in the
midnight's dark glow
That brins back our youth from the
dim long ago:
Sweet dreams of our childhoad, too
soon they are DER;
We wake but to find we are dreaming
no more
Farewell. childhood's days. Now bur
dened with care.
The day dreams of youth brought me
grief and despair.
Yet oft times in slumbers. when no one
is Ecar,
I'll dream of the hills and the valleys
so dear.
Tn ,sc emblems Of youth may fall to
decay,
The friends OF my childhood may all
pass away;
But on memory's page there remains
one bright srot,
'Tis the home Of my childhood. that
will ne'er be forgot.

Meiggs' Great Services in Peru.

10oAkko 0A0oe 0OAvASCo An ~
The announcement Of the death of
Henry Meiggs has furnished the inspir-
alton for q great amount Of extrAva-
CANT eulogy in the San Francisco
papers, and l see il stated that the
Peruvian Consul felt called upon to
raise his national flag at hslf-mast in
honor of the memory of the deceased.
The Peruvian people have, no doubt,
great cause To mourn over the memory
Of Henry Mciggs. but ] think their
grief might more properly pertain to
his arrival III their country. rather than
TO his departure. A comprehensive.
sketch Of Mciggs' career in Peru would
necessarily embody history Of that
afflicted country from the year 1868 to
the present time, end the limits of
simple communication to the Chroaicle
would therefore forbid tho attempt.
Suffice it to say that from the day
Meiggs set his foot on Peruvian coil
the country started on the high road TO
ruin The only resources that Peru
then had from which to meet her ordi
nary expenses of government were the
net proceeds Of the guano sales and the
comparative small revenue from the

money xr. Aeiggs assisted the Gov
ment to squander IL less than four
years leaving the public treasury
cleaned TO the last cent. An unsuccess-
full attempt was made tn negotiate
rev loan in the London market. and
several other schemes to raise money
To meet the current expenses Of the
Government and complete the railroads
were equally futile. Work on the rail-
roads was abruptly terminated from
lack Of funds. At last the evil day ar
rived when the Government was unable
20 nav the interest due in Louden on
the foreign debt, and In consequence
