Floating slowly o'cr the tide,
And the shadows seem to lengtl1en
AS adown the stream VIC glide.
Pleasures long ago forgotten,
Sorrows lie had D er ns cast

Ghusts from ont the buried Past.

Where the loved and lost awuit US
Loved ones we have monrne:l III dead.
We have missed their darling faces
AS 1c enthered round the hearth,

When We BID adieu 10 Earth.

And the forms SO wildly cherished

localities to the amoant Of their net assets. The
plan is thst in al1 cities OF than TO- 600 1n-

OF goods are Accumulated shall be mapped out BY
tho Mayor and Aldermen, and no insurance COM
pany shall take ap aggregate amount Of T1sks in
such districts greatcr th4nits capital and net sur
plus. This will not prevent them from insurIn@
dwellings not in the business districts farm build

company from being crippled BY great fire in any
city. II anything happens to reduce the capital
and net surplus below the amount OF Insurance
takeu by company, the latter must reduce its In
surauce by returning the unearned premium, or

A Statesville genius has invented what he
terms "a garden preserver or hen walker. :
of a rooster, only considerably larger, and is
attached to chickens pedal extremities, al
an angle as toward the ground. When the
chicken, with this instrument attached to its
legs, enters the garden and begins to scratch
for seed, as the foot is put forward in the ac
of scratching, the instrument catches in thu
ground, and the fowl is instantly walked ou
of the garden. -Statesville Landmark.
Why can't somebody invent ma
chine to be fastened to the legs OF thu
office-holders, so that as soon as the.
began to steal it would walk then
right out of office? What wonder
full procession would go out dali.

privy to the conspiracy to demonetize silver.
The Judge explains that the intent and effect
of the measure demonetizing silver was stu,
diously concealed from the Committee and
from Congress. 1t should be remembered In
this connection that the man who was the
chief tool of foreign bond holders in perpe-

comptroller of the currency, Mr.. John Jay
