Twenty Years Ago.


The spring time has come again, VIII
As in the years of yore,
The map trees are lsafng out, re
Before the cottage door.
And the glad birds have come again,
SINGING their merry glees, rss
Building their nests rearing their young,
Upin our maple trees.
The silver brook is dancing, VIII,
Along its pebbly way,
And in its rocky islands now
The little children play.
I've watched them at their sport this morn
The fashions come and 60
But plays are just the same as ours
Were twenty years ago. 4.
rr ssa .a-.
The children have eirplay-house, Will,
Just where ours used to be;
They have the broken bits Of ware,
Their acorn cups for tea.
The boys split wood and build the fire,
Just as you did, you know,
When we kept house upon those rocks
Some twenty years ago.
The woodbine climbs the lattice, VIII,
And hides the porch from sight,
Do You remember how it stood?
Not much beyond our height.
1 marked the place where your head came,
You marked the place of mine
But you and have grown some, too,
Since that far off spring-time.
We havenever met since then, Will,
As man know you not;
The black-eyei bog Of those glad days,
Has never been forgot.
Whiesittiug in your mansion grand,
With your proud wife. to-day,
| wonder if there comes a thought
Of wee wife, Katie Gray.

A Sensation in Church.

Pittsburg Gazette.
There was a sudden sensa-
ton in an Oakland church, on a
late Sunday. 1t appears that a
young lady member Of the choir
became so anxious to examine a
certain exasperatingly pretty
bonnet in a pew back under the
organ loft, that she lost her bal
ance, and turned a somersault
down upon the unsuspecting
congregation. The minister
had only reached "tenthly,|
whcE he was shocked by a dis
solving view Of striped stock
ings; and The millionaire under
meath had just selected his
coin for the heather,
when a pair Of two-iEch heels
took him in the back Of the
neck like the fast dying lick Of
a pile-drivcr. When the dust
cleared away the church was
found to lie empty, and since
then the flock have mcekly, but
informed the vestry that
unless the choir is fenced in, or
q net stretched over the heads
of the congregation, as required
by law, they will stayaway from
the sanctuary.

Invincible in Peace; In
visible in War.

The authorship of this apho-
ristic witticism has been gener-
ally attributed to the Hon. Ben.
Hill, of Georgia, who recently
applied it, on the floor of Con
gress, to the present day. The
merit of it properly belongs to
the late Capt. George III. Der
by, better known by the nom de
plume of "John Phoenix. "
When stationed at San Francis
co he was invited to a public
dinner given by a company of
State militia. Being called up
on for a toast, though a guest,
he could not repress his love for
satire, and accordingly gave
"The California Militia-Inyin-
chile in Peace; Invisible in
War;"

Interpretation of a Will.

A very rich merchant who had
an only son. made his will, by
which he gave all his wealth,
which amounted TO three hundred
thousand francs, to certain monks,
leaving them to give his son such
q sum as they wished The
merchant died, the monks took
all to themselves without wish
ing to give anything t. the heir.
The latter complained to the vic.
eroy, who having seen the will,
asked the monks what they offer
ed to the son. a..
Ten thousand francs" they
replied.
"You wish, then, to have all
the rest?' ,
"Yes, my Lord, we demanded
the execution of that will"
"That is Just" said the viceroy,
"but you do not understand it
properly. 1t is said the son shall
have that which you wish, you
grant ten thousand to the heir,
it is then two hundred and nine.
ty thousand that you want.
All /! we'll, following the course of
the will, this sum is set apart for
the son. | order you to give it
to him, the ten thousand francs
remaining are therefore yours"
They were obliged to submit.

pulled out to pass anything
but then he couldn't hold hel
any more than he could the
steamer Vanderbilt. He pooh.
poohed this notion, and we took
the road, | driving a gray mare
Of my own. We were going
along quite fast, side by side,
when we caught up with an
omnibus, and | pulled to the
left and the Commodore to the
right. AS we did so 1 saw En-
press dart forward, and caught a
glimpse of a team coming in
the opposite direction; in an
other instant / heard a tremen-
dous crash, and then Il wouldn't
have believed it unless I had
seen it myself, and you needn't
Il saw the form Of the venera-
BILE Commodore and the wreck
of his buggy appear over the
top of the omnibus, and then
sink from sight. Stocks were
high that day. 1t happened
that the spot was very near
where the "Butter" Smith acci-
dent had occurred, and as soon
as / ascertained that there was
no serious injury done to my
friend, l began pacing off at a
distance. "What are you a.
bout?" cried the Commodore.
"Oh!" said I, ''I'm finding out
how far it is from where one
fool fell to where the other
fool fell" This counter ex-
preston of sympathy on my
part was met with grim smile,
The Commodore was then o.
yer sixty-fve years old. Often
his brother Jake, who was a
good driver, would come over
from Staten Island, and then
they always had a turn togeth-
er on the road. Once, in win
ter, his brother had crowded
him in brush, and got a little
the best Of him. He said moth
ing TO him, but he remarked to
me, "Jake crowded me to-day,
and I'll fix him the next time"
Shortly after they were spin
ming along at a merry rate; the
Commodore Tapped on Jake,
when he watched his opportuni-
ty, and deliberately running in
to him, grabbed his cutter
the thills, slowed the
cutter around, and left Jake
sitting in the middle of the road,
with his back to the disappear
ing tail of his horse. About
three years ago | met the Com
modore tearing down the road
with his horse in a keen run, and
saw his brother coming on at a
similar gait far behind. AS he
pulled up, / asked him why he
was letting his horse go in that
manner. He exclaimed, "Jake
wouldn't trot, but kept running
his horse, and l thought I'd beat
him at his game. I'll show the
- cuss he can't come over
lere from Staten Island and beat |
me trotting or running either

=
instance the ease OF a Young
man who has just died in well
known boarding house after
strange and battling sickness of
many months. His first symp-
toms were slight pains in his
stomach, which, however, kept
increasing in spite Of al med
cal treatment, till they ineapa-
lcitlted the sufferer for business
and brought him to his death
bed. After his demise the puz-
izled physicians made a post
lmOrtem search for the cause of
this singular illness and found
ito their astonishment that a
cherry stoneswallowed last sum-
mer had sprouted in their pa
TENTS stomach, and that it had
been the progress and wide rain
Iification of this fearfully abnor-
NAL growth which had occa-
STONED his suherings and death.

reported by an enthusiastic

solid enjoyment. 1t ought to
have been when twenty OF the
leading dancers aggregated four
and half tons in weight. The
awe-inspiring gyratiOns Of these
formidable walters BROUGHT TO
mind with great force the brief
but graphic description Of the
dancing Of the belle Of "Hans
Breitmann's Party"
"Und efery time she gave shoomp
Sho made de windows sound"
The 1.-THE and active floor mana
ger weighed 327 pounds, and af-
ter his fairy footsteps had re-
sounded over the groaning floor
for three hours while he mar
shallcd his hosts of frisky obesi-
ty, the whole association ad-
journed for supper, and made a
meal which stood on end the
hair Of the most hardened re-
porter present.
An odd wedding in high life

past week. Miss Marcia Roose-

a brief fcourtshiP Pwas crowned by
the grand wedding of the other
evening at St. Thomas. Tho
large church was crowded to
suifocation with the cream of

not more by the high social rank
Of the bride than by curiosity to

Low Renfs-Girls' Wages-AI
Eccentric Cherry Stone-Ban 0
the Heavy Weights-A Knicker
booker Wedding.
To the Editor of the Observer
New York, Feb. 9, 1877.
Thepresent financial and com
mercial condition of thecountry
as reflected in the mirror of thC
metropolis, is either good or bad
as nepleasesto regard it. Trade
is quiet, dull in fact, in spite
of the most vigorous efforts Of
the press to galyanize it into
brisk activity. People won't
buy if they can help it, and the
merchants who have been
watching, these three weary
years and more, for a rebound
into the driving times of before
the panic, are still looking blank
as they see the season for the
Spring trade Of 1877, from
which such great things were
hoped, slipping quietly by with
out much, if any, change for
the better from last year. That
is the dark side. On the other
hand, the "good old ante-war
times" when ga dollar 2cas a
dollar" and when prices were
down to point which seemed
almost incredible ten years af-
terward, are substantially back
again. All this time, while we
have been fretting and complain
ing about the hard times the
days of hard pan in currency
and prices have been stealing
upon us like a thief in the night.
Goid has been quietly sliding
down the scale, until here a
week or so ago the little yellow
dollar fairly trcmbled in the
balance with the big green dol
lar. No wonder the specie
payment question has been
briskiy agitated of late, for it
looks very much as though the
government would have to hur-
ry up with its legislation if it
wants TO claim any Of the cred
it of resumption. If things are
left to themselves we shall have
the Secretary Of the Treasury,
on January 1st, 1879, hunting
round with his lantern TO find
that deprecated currency which
the law directs him to redeem
on that date.
And with a practically gold
basis, the cost Of living and do
ing business have shrunk, as
well as the profits, so that there
is really not SO much TO COM
plain about after ali. The large
and significant items of store and
house rents are a good indlca-
tiOn of the general tendency.
These rents have not been so
low in New York before in fiE-
teen years and interviews with
the leading brokers show that
they are going to drop still low
er this Spring. Labor has rare
ly been lower, clothing never,
and the whole list Of neccssa-
ries of life are arranged on a
very moderate scale Of prices. |
All of which goes to show that
we are not so badly off after all /
which is some comfort.
If any one doubts my asser-
tion that wages are low, | refer
him TO the record Of the Dis
trict Court for this-week, where /
it is shown that several young
girls employed in large book
bindery of this city, are suing
their employer for wages due
them at the rate Of from three .
to six dollars a month. It is a
satisfaction to add that they OBJ
tain prompt judgment in their
favor, and that their liberal en-
ployer was with equal m2t-
ness put in Jail for nOn-ply-
ment.
