UPS AND DOWNS.

One day, as | have heard it said,
1t Glanced n rag and bit OF lead
Law in the kennel snug together
In very wet and muddy weather.
The rag was soiled, and old, and torn;
The bit of lead WAS bruised and worn:
Two waits, whose worth, at full account,
Was of such very small amount
They well together might remain,
To bide the pelting OF the rain.
Yet, low as was their present state, -,-
They both had known "A better late.
The rag had once been whole and white,
In'every way had pleased the sight;
And, in its time, had helped adorn
A bride upon her wedding morn;
Lent to her figure and her face
An added, though unneeded, grace, ,-a
Nor thought such parting and distress
Could e'er bcfall wedding dress, H'
The piece of lead could not forget
Its fortunes had been nobler yet;
For, nodded well, for use of one
Who was his country'S faithful son,
1t bad-thOugh that was long ago
Been sped against that country's foe,
And, guided by unerring hand,
Had stretched him lifeless on the sand.
There came man with hook and bag,
Who bore away the lead and rag,
And both were to a shop consigned,
With many others of their kind.
When winter passed, and summer came,
The former rag had changed It's name
To paper, and it might avow
1t ne'er had been SO white as now.
Meanwhile the lead, so long despised,
Was altered so twas highly priced;
For, melted, purified, and cast,
II was a printers type at last o.
They now, in this, their new condition,
Were put into their old position ra
Drawn closer than before, to kiss,
And find their apotheesis. 20 =

A Mysterious and MGradsRFJHass Assault.

York WorIdsayss Chesten Goedale his
murderously assaulted to-day by some
unknown person. .gAMrs Gdoda Iez is4SS
years old and one of the wealthiest men
in Berkshire County, Mass. He has
served several times as representative of
his town and was q man of vigorous
health and strong constitution. Before
breakfast this, morning, he%went to his
barn, short distance from the fhouse,
to feed his horse, and nothing lnerew:ls
seen of him until his grandson went to
call him to breakfast, about O'Clock.
On openiing che stable door MfsGooda1s
was found on the floor covered. with
blood from, head to foot and near by was
heavy, b1ood-stained stick, with which
he had been assaulted. Mr.. Goodale
was not dead, 9but attempts tos restore
him to consciousness, were unsuccessful,
although at times, he would -mutter in

such times 7heuwoulds refyar'. Oh den't
strike me again. IN give you; al my
money, only let me i've And then
again, 'eOli, my head, my poor headt'
When asked by whom he had been as.
saulted he paid nolattention to the query
and finally sank into deep stupor from
which it was impossible to arouse him.
The attending physician does not think
he can live the night ohts. The back 81
his head is badly cut, bad confusion
appears over-the leftseye, and The nose
is broken. The last two fingers of the
left ha ana broken; and the right hand
is badly bruised and ,disc9bred, That
robbery was the object Of the assault h
evident from the fact that his pockets
had been, rified, and his pocket book,
containing 5 So. stolen. h That it was
the work of tramps, is also believed, be-
cause the house had been broken int
the night before and a quantity Of pro-
visions stolen, a portion of which was
found secreted in the hay-mow, where
it is evident the men. have for several
days been in hiding. 1T is thought
that Mr. Goodale in entering the
stable was surprised by his assassins and
knocked senseless enc keE had d chance
to cry for, help, and, after committing
the robbery they fed; No trace of the
assassins has been found although
many citizens are, securing the, country
round about. 1T is thought thatIwhoeF-
er committed the-assauft knewswen that
Mr.. Goodale was in, the habit of carry
ing large suits Of money on his person,
and possibly knewlthat on the day before
he had drawn 5000 from the Mahuievie
Bank of Great Darlington in which The
was a prominent stock Sid er.s5nA re
ward of $500, has been, offered for the
arrest of the assailant. Mr.. Goodale
had a large interest in the marble quar-,
