Iafe's milestones, marking year on year.
Pass ever swifter as we near
The Anal goal, the silent END
To which our fated footsteps tend.
A year once seemed q century,
Now like a day II hurries by;
And doubts and fears cur hearts oppress'
And all the way is WEAKNESS.
All me how glad and gay we were,
Youths sap in all our veins astr,
When long ago, with spirits high,
A happy, careless company,
We started forth, when everything
Wore the green glory OF the spring,
And all the fair, wide world was ours,
To gather as we would its flowers!
Then life almost eternal seemed,
And death a dream so vaguely dreamed
That In the distance scarce II threw
A cloud-shade on the mountain blue
That rose before us, soft and fair,
Clothed in ideal hues OF air,
To which we meant In after-time,
strong in our manhoods strength, TO climb.
How all has changedl Years have gone by,
And Of that Joyous company
With whom our youth first journeyed on
Who-who are left? Alas, not one!
Love earliest loitered on the way,
Then turned his face and slipped away;
And after him, with footsteps light
The tickle Graces took their fight,
And all the careless joys that lent
Their rivalry and merriment
Grew sile Mt all, and, ere we knew,
Had smiled their last and said adieu.
Hope faltered, then, with doubtful mind,
Began to turn and look behind;
And we, half questioning, were fain
To follow with her back again;
Rut fate still urged us ON our way
And would not let us pause or stay.
Then TO our side, with plaintive eye.
In place of hope came memory,
And murmured of the past, and told
Dear stories of the days of old,
Until its very dress seemed gold,
And friendship took the place OF love,
And strove in vain to us to prove
That love was light and insincere-
Not worth a mans regretful tear.
All all in. vain. Grant twas cheat,
Yet no voice ever was 80 sweet
No presence like to loves, who threw
Enchantment over all We knew;
And still we listened with q sigh.
And back, with fond tears in the eye,
We gaze to catch glimpse again
OF that dear face, but all III vain.
Preach not, o stern philosophy
Naught we can have, and naught we see
VIII ever be so pure, so glad,
So beautiful as what we had.
Our steps are sad, our steps are slow,
Nothing is like the long ago;
Gone is the keen, intense delight,
The perfume faint and exquisite,
The glory and the effluence
That haloed the enraptured sense
When faith and love were at our side,
And common life was deihed.
our shadows, that we used to throw
Behind us, now before us grow,
For once we walked toward the sun,
But now, life's full meridian done,
They change. and in their chill we move
Further away from faith and love.
chill is in the air no more
Our thoughts with Joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way,
Waiting the closing of the day.
The future holds no wondrous prize
This side deaths awful mysteries;
Beyond, what waits for us, who knows?
New life or infinite repose?

Public Charities and Pauperism.

An interesting movement in connection
with public charities is now on foot in Phila
deIpha A public meeting has been held, and
a committee appointed to consider the subject
and report on plan of operations. 1t seems
likely that the whole queFion of vagrancy,
paupeTiSm and relief will be brought under
the jurisdiction of a general organic ttion.
Efforts VIII be made to represS yasraucy,
check the impostureS prac.iSed on charita-
bic associations, and utilize more extensively
the influences of education, religion and SAM
taTy science in the prevention of pauperiSm.
The relation between public chtri, les and pail

the day. Relief designed to encourage indus

beggais. 1t seems that Philadelphia spends

Fish Murder.

The Potomac river is not the only DO " of
water which aches by its history the evils of
reckless and indiscriminate fishing. More
than one section of the United States has been
completely deprived of immense foou re-
sources by the cupidity of those who lived
along the banks of its rivers. The decline of
the fisheries of the great lakes is alarming.
Michigan and Wisconsin, while more than
l25,Uo,OD OF white fish have been placed in the
lakes within the last four years. and the
greater amount within the last two years. the
numbers caught have steadily diminished.
And if the decrease is allowed to continue. in 4
few years the capital employed in the fisherie,
must be Withdrawn, and a large number of
labOrers be left idle. So many different iuris
dictions control the fisheries of the great lakes
that II will be difficult to obtain uniform
laws for the protection of the fish: but
an effort is being made in this direction
and ii is greatly to be hoped that it NAV
be successful If in the fisheries of the great
lakes the size of the mesh of the nets and the
seasons and days of the week in which they
may be cast. can be uniformly regulated. an
excellent precedent would be established by
which the Potomac fisheries might profit But
the problem here is so much less complicated
than in the case of the lakes, that it is some
thing of a slur on the Shrewdness and energy
of Maryland and Virginia to imagine that
they will wait for the suggested precedent
Legislative protection and artificial propaga-
ton of the shad and herring my again revive
the giOries o. the Potomac fisheries 1t will
take time for the fisheries to recover under
the best treatment from the suicidal policy of
the past: but beyond relieving immediate
suffering a true friend of the poor can in no
way better sustain his character rs such, than
by endeavOring to re-eStabiish a business

A letter was read by Farmer Dodge from n
Virginia farmer. setting forth the advantages
held out To Northern settlers in that State. and
during the reading four other farmers arrived.
Farmer Brucn still considered the AL diencc
too small 10 warrant the reading Of his paper.
and il was further deferred. 4 discussion Of
the Virginia letter followed. Farmer Hudson
said thut Northern settlers in the Southern
States had not been successful. Farmer Bruen
said that he had lived in Virginia and other
southern States and TINT n long ago as 1919
the farmers Of that section were taking their
