CHILpREN's 5 JOYS.

The children's world Is full of sweet SURPRISES:
Our common things are precious In their sight;
Fur them the stars Shlne, ani Tire morning rises
To show new treasures OF untold delight
dance OF bluebeils in the shady places;
A crimson flush OF sunset In the west;
The cobwebs, delicate as fairy laces;
The sudden nnding of a wood-birds nest.
Their hearts and lips are full OF simple praises
To him who made the earth dvlneiy sweet;
There dwell among the butfercups an daisies,
And find his blessings strewn about their feet.
But we, worn out by days OF toll and sorrow.
And sick OF pleasures that are false and vain,
Would freely give our golden hoaris t. borrow
One little hour OF chlldhood's bliss again.
Yet he who sees their Joy neholds our sadness;
And In the wisdom OF Father love
lie keeps the secret OF the heavenly giadnesa
Our sweet surprises walt for US above.

Whenever a man does happen 10 draw a
prize IN a lottery it is trumpeted through the
papers and advertised by the lottery men In
all the glory that adjectives can bestow. 1t
is, however, we are inclined to think, great
misfortune to most men to draw prize. 1t
unsettles them In mind and leads to love of
gambling. A man In New York, compost
tor of the name of 0'Brien, drew prize of
$4,000, and leaving his wife and five children
started out to "enjoy himself" Upon his re-
turn from trip to Washington, Mrs. o. Brieu
advised her husband to resume his trade at
which he had been earning from $40 to $25 a
week. Patrick announced that he was n man
of means and should retire from business. In
six months he spent SO, 600, leaving her to
work and provide for the children. On We'd
nesday night O'Brien visited his wife in Har-
lem. She upbraided him for his prodigality.
and thereat, she says, he Threatened her life
and she felt constrained to have him arrested.
Thursday, in the Harlem Police Court, JUS
tice Kilbretb sentenced o. Brien to six months
imprisonment on Blachwell's Island. So
much for lottery prize.

GRAHAM SENTENCED. The famous Arm
strong murder case came to close on Monday
by the trial and sentence of Graham. the tool
of Hunter 10 the murder of Armstrong, at
Camden.
The case was heard Ia Trenton. The At
torney General formally arraigned Graham,
who under advice of bis counsel, pleaded
guilty of murder in the second degree.
Chief Justice Bcasley said From motives
ofpublic policy we accept your plea, but we
think u ever man ought to be- hanged it is
yon. We give you all the punishment that
the law allows for that degree of crime to
which yon have pleaded guilty. The sentence
ofthe Court is that You. Thomas Graham, be
committed to the State Prison for the term of
twenty years, at hard labor, and thence until
the costs are paid
The prisoner appeared to be somewhat sur
prised at the sentence and subsequently, said
thar he did not expect that he would have re-
ceived more than five years.

HEADLEy's ILLUSTRATED LfFE AND TRAY
ELS OF GEN. anANrs We are glad to learn
that an author Of acknowledged ability has
been scout to give to the masses worthy
volume on this subject al moderate price.
One of the most remarkable journeys in all
its details ever taken. is that by Gen. u. s.
Grant, around the world. He has received
abroad the most distinguished honors ever be-
slowed on any traveller. He bears a very APP
propriate name. Ulysses. for be isas copspicu-
GUS among historic warriors and travellers as
his namesake is among the warriors aud trav-
elers of the ideal world.
Every American, must feel q pride in the
honors that have been showefed upon our il
lustrious fellow citizen. He travelled as a
private gentleman. but the glory of his
achievements and the eminence of his record
in peace and war encircle him with halo far
transcendng in brightness the glitter of
crown. fs48i
Hon. ]. T. Headley is a brilliant author.-
He has superior descriptive powers of Just the
sort to set before he reader, like a reality,
the wonders, the splendors, the curosities
aud the peculiarities of the Old World which
Gen. Grant and his lkrty looked upon. He is
not confined to sipfNe narration of Grants
movements, but describes scenery, places of
great historic interest, monuments of antiq--
uity, the principal wonders of all the great
nations, and renders the narratives of the
East fascinating as a panorama of the great
est wonders.
The book is full of information and enter
tainment and will have more than a mere
ephemeral interest. 1t is beautifully and
profusely illustrated, contains, among the two
hundred and. fifty odd. superior steel plate
engraving Of the General aud an elegant cut
of the Arabian Stations presented him by the
Sultan of Turkey. An immense sale may
readily be prophesied forsthis work by reason

rfoN On Thursday evening Of last week,
M,5er q A. Aagel Post, No. 90, Grand Army
of the Republic, Of this CITY, celebrated its
first anniversary BY public exercises at Lyce-
nm Hall. After music BY the Etna 0rches-
ira. aud prayer BY Rev. =. X. Smith, Of St.
Andrews P. E. Church, Post Commander
Van Solver made some introductory remarks,
in which he stated that the Post was in a
fiourishing condition, it now having mem
bership of over sixty, having doubled it's
members during the year.
At this point, Rev. P. A. Studdiford, D. D.,
Of the Presbyterian Church, on behalf of a
number OF the citizens, presented to the Post
handsome American flag, in patriotic and
thoughtful speech. The flag was received on
behalf of the Post, by Rev. G. II. Thomas, of
the Baptist Church, in an address well-calcu--
lated to express the feelings of the recipients,
after which the Post gave three cheers for the
donors. The tableau presented as the flag
was received, (the Post having formed in a
semi. circle on the stage around the fiag), was
very pretty. ss~tfR
It is to be regretted that so few of our citi-
zens were present. The Post went to the ex-
pense of hiring the hall, SO that large numbers
might have an opportunity of being present !;
and certainly our patriotic citizens should
have shown more interest in the occasion than
they did.

The New Brunswick FREEDMAN charges
some Of the members of the Board of Free
holders of that county with having charged
two, three, four five, six and seven times for
one days services on several occasions. The
experience In Warren, Somerset, Monmouth,
Middlesex and other counties of this State
with Boards of Freeholders has demonstrated
to the taxpayers that they are only machinery
for squandering the county money and the
sooner they are abolished by legislative en-
actment and some more direct means used in
managing county affairs the sooner will the
debts aud expenses of the county be reduced.
