lime Runs On.

We see the blossoms brightly glow,
We listen to theibroollet's flow,
We hear the gay birds merry call,
We note the blue sky over all;
Lo while we say The world is sweet"
The white frost chills our waiting feet.
The babe, now cradled in our arms,
Tomorrow wakes to girlhood's charms;
Anon, a captive maiden stands,
A willing captive in loves bands;
Ere long a world-worn train await
Their summons through deaths son.ber gate.
From flower TO fruit is but day;
From youth to age a swift, brief way;
Yet, five garner fast and well,
The ripening harvest who can tell
For time runs on; yet every hour
Is rich with some God-given power.
All up and down the world we see
Lies royal gifts are scattered free;
The patient hand has but to bind
The bounteous sheaves, each year to find
Earth's green and gold viii turn to wheat;
Though time runs on, the world is sweet.
We may not find the autumn way
Has just the glory of the May,
And silver head and waning sight
May feel " life's summer was so bright"
And yet chastened beauty glows
Where full rich lives grow near their close,
The world is sweet, yet time runs on;
And when our songs, our flowers are gone,
Lo others will the sickle WELD
Adown the same bright harvest-field;
And others watch, on sunny ewes,
The reapers bringing home their sheaves.

Who are Guests Of a Hotel 7

Major-G General Winfield S. Hancock
went with his family, in November, 1873,
to live at the St. Cloud Hotel, New York,
having made special agreement with its
proprietors as to the price he was to pay
for rooms and food. One night, in March,
1874, while he and his family were at q
theater, a thief entered his apartments
and stole large amount of jewelry be-
longing to himself, his wife and daughter
The Messrs. Rand, who kept the hote
refused to make good his loss. He began
two suits against them, one individually
and one as administrator of his daughter,
who had died in the meantime. Mrs.
Almira Hancock, his wife, began suit
on her own account to recover so, ,952 as
the value of the jewels lost by her. The
causes were tried before Mr.. Horatio f.
Averill, as referee, who reported that the
relations of inn keepers and guests did
not exist between the plaintiffs and de-
PENDANTS. Thereport being confirmed by
the court, it was appealed from by the
plaintiffs. The general term of the Su-
preme Court has rendered decision in the
case of Mrs. Hancock, reversing that of
the referee. The opinion, which was
written by Judge ingalls,, is very long and
discusses almost every phase of the rela-
tion of hotel guest to a hotel keeper.
Its gist lies in the declaration that a per-
son who makes special agreement with
hotel proprietor by which, in consider
alton of remaining a certain period at the
hotel, he obtains special or reduced rates,
is not thereby made an ordinary boarder
and deprived of the privileges and pro-
lection of guest.

The running of cars over the Missouri
river, at Yankton, Dakota, last winter,
was not new experiment. About
twenty years ago, before the railroad
bridge was built across the Susquehanna
at Havre de Grace, the trains of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
railroad were transported on the boat
Maryland, which is still used for like
purpose. One winter the river froze
over so solidly that the boat could not
be run. Rails were laid on the ice, and
during the month trains made the cross
ing of mile regularly.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
An American Girl I'm ZuIuIand.

A few years ago the daughter Of an
American missionary made a tour
through Zululand with an English
party. They had a messenger from the
Secretary for Native Affairs to introduce
them to King Cetywayo. The first day
he would not grant an audience, as he
was undergoing some ceremonies for
purifcation because his father had died,
but the next day they were called and
ushered into the royal hut Great was
handsome face, with most benevolent
expression, his manners courtly, his
voice very pleasant and his physique
noble. The sketch of him in the illus
trated papers is a caricature. The
Americans daughter asked him why he
had refused to hear the great news that
the missionaries had brought to his peo-
pie. He replied that he could not listen
to low, common people, but if Colenso,
the king of missionaries, would come to
live with him, he would become be-
lever. This lady sought opportunities
to learn all that she could of life in that
land, and it was sad story that she
heard. Indeed, the very air seemed
filled with gloom; the voices of the peo-
pie seemed hushed. She gained the con-
fidence of an interesting looking young
woman, and she asked her the cause of
the silence. She replied that two young
girls, great favorites, had been strangled
that morning because they had vexed
the king. She inquired the reason, and
learned that one of the doctors" had
declared that a certain man was an evil
willer, and the king ordered him to be
strangled. The girl was seen to cry, for
she loved him, and had remarked that
they knew he was innocent. The king
was informed, and he ordered her to be
choked at once. Her friend, another
young girl, remarked, "Oh! to think for
those words she was killedn The secret
spy iepeated her words to the king, and
soon she found herself going to the place
of execution, where she was left to
feed the vultures." No one dared to
cry, but loudly they sang songs of praise
to their king ..-.

The new telegraph company propose
to do wonderful things, if their account
is to be believed. They will have but
one rate for ordinary messages, twenty
five cents for thirty words, and one cent
for each additional word. Press mes
sages will be sent for ten cents per hun
dred words. The principal invention
upon which the company bases its claim
to existence is a sort of an improved
automatic transmitting machine, which,
it is asserted, is capable of being worked
at the rate of 1000 words per minute
sixty times faster than the Morse in
struments now in use-on 500 to 1000
mile circuits. A popularity of the ma
chine and its apparent Improvement is
the use of double row of letters, one
above the other. In the old automatic
machine there was but one row, and
whenever it was attempted to do fast
work the letters ran into each other SO
as to be indistinguishable. The entire ar
rangement is only limited by the ability
of the receiver to register the dots and
dashes of the Morse alphabet distinctly.

Not long ago man was run over and
killed by the cars at Evanston, in the
neighborhood of Chicago. The body
was identified as that of Josiah Hill, a
resident of South Bend, Ind, who had
been at work on a farm at Winnetka,
five miles from Middletown. The widow
and daughter were inconsolable and
quite broken down after the coroner's
inquest (Which found that Josiah Hill
came accidentally. to his death " and the
bnrial in the graveyard at South Bend
Several days later Mrs. Hill mustered
up energy enough to go to Winnetka for
her husbands effects. Lo and behold!
when she approached the farmhouse
there was her husband quietly at work
in the barnyard. She tainted several
times and could with difficulty be in
duced to believe that it was only a
very strange case of mistaken identity.
As for Hill himself, it was the first he
had heard of his own death.

Two years ago a few citizens of New
York city, after examining the various
methods of dealing with drunkenness,
decided in favor of what they called the
Christian plan. They rented building
near the Central Park, and announced
that they would receive Incorporate men
who desired to reform. The cure of
intemperance is sought at this reforma-
tory, not by medical treatment or physi-
cal agencies, but the inebriates are
taught that drunkenness is a sin
against God, and no other means of re-
form are employed. The results, accord
ing to report just published, have as
tonished those who undertook the exper-
iment. Of three hundred and three per-
sons received, they assert that one hun
dred and eighty-seven were wholly re-
claimed, and have been long enough
away from the asylum to test the thor
oughness of their reformation. This
proportion is believed far to exceed that
of any other inebriate asylum.

THE DEMOCRATS. THREATEN NO
APPROPRIATION.

NEW YoRK, March 8. A Washington spe-
cial says that the President will in his mes
sage to the 10th Congress, call attention to
the condition Of the treasury, and the fact
that the revenues Of the next fiscal year will
not be sufficient to meet the appropriations
He will ask for legislation to increase the rev.
enues. The work Of Congress will not be
confined to passing two appropriation bills,
but general legislation will be entered upon.
The best judges believe the extra session will
last from eight to twelve weeks.
A prominent democratic Senator said this
afternoon that unless the republicans agreed
to the repeal Of the election laws, no appro-
The democrats would pass bills repeating
these laws, and If vetoed would then attach
them to appropriation bills and force the
President to approve them, or 60 without the
appropriations to run the government. In
the opinion Of the Senator, Congress would
be in session all summer, unless the republi-
cans and President back down.
