AND THE YEARS ROLL ON.
BY MISS ANNIE H. MORRIS.

The daisy lifts its modest head.
Besides a tiny cradle bed;
The buds expand in softened air,
The baby nesties in sweetness there;
And the years roll on.
Folds of richest creamy lace,
Festooned Ger a cherub face
The pansy, natures little sprite,
Is struggling for the rosy light
And the years roll on.
While baby sleeps in sweet repose,
Dreaming dreams no mortal knows;
The hyacinths and clanbering vines,
Irssweetly budding life entwines;
And the years roll on.
Now rosebud mouth, and twlnkling eyes,
Are opened wide in fond surprise
Hide -and-seek, i" play-flag and brook,
B0bOlink pipes unto the rock :;
And the years roll on.
The tulips border the gardensbed,
The lily rears its graceful head
The babe has lett its cradied home,
Youth, mid the flowers, essays to roam
And the years roll on.
The meadows bloom in the morning bright,
And girlhoOd buds in the softeued light,
The baby years are laid away,
The maiden's life begins to-day;
And the years roll on.
Among June roses now she stands,
Her golden hair in golden bands;
Life's full-bIown flowers to her are given,
she hesItates. twiNt earth and Heaven;
And the years roll on.
BE wise, sweet maid, with violet eyes,
And plume thy wings, toward beck ming skies;
For morning life and morning sun,
Will seek the great meridian,
While the years roll on.
Roses, jessamine and hawthorn fair,
And hay, that is new-mown, perfume the all
Womanhood reaps in the noon of her might,
Ruth gathers the grain e. re the shadows Ofnight
And the years roll on.
The fancies ofyOuth, the garlands she made,
Are tinted now with the Autumn shade;
The hues of the summer, and roses of June
Are sleeping now, meath the harvest mOOn;'i
And the years roll on.
The farmer who sowcd with generous hand
And earnestly titled his willing land,
Who murmured not at the heat, or the rain.
Is crowned with sheaves Of golden grain;
And the years roll on.
Fair earth puts on her mourning gown,
When Autumn wears bridal crown;
To woman, seem the stars above,
Sweeter than Sappho's dream of love 80
And the years roll on.
The forest is clothed in a robe that is new,
The dahlias bloom where the roses grew
The harvester sits in his easy chair,
His ppe-smoke enwreathing his silver hair;
And the years roll on.
The evening eliminates the day,
The South wind signs IA saddened lay;
The brooklet hides grassy home,
The Thrush has lost his silver tone;
And the years roll on.
The shepherd takes his gentle flock,
His faithful Tray and tender crook,
And fees before the wintry storm
For shelter in the cotter's hGme;
And the years roll on.
The fields are stripped ofwaving grain,
Meadows are naked; and window pane
Is frosted with pictures that chill the eye,
:, Rlu dance far the Ice King as be lasseth b!
And the years roll on.
Fruit and flowers are gathered now;
ROBBED in snow is the orchard bcngh,
Babe, youth, and sire alike are blest,
Have entered into a golden rest
And the years roll on.
Through gates ajar our gIances meet,
Transplanted flowers and geld-paved street.
The prattling babe, and maiden's cure,
The dear old man, with silver hair
Eternal years roll on.

LENA GRAY.
BY ANNIE LAURA.

"Eustace, where did you get ac-
quainted with Miss Gray? / never
heard you speak Of her while We were
in college. %
"Oh, | knew her long before l
went to college. We attended the
district school together, and it was l
that used to work al the hard exam
Piles in arithmetic for her; and now,
Landon, when l look back to those
days when she sat by my side, ,puzzling
her head over partial payments" or
extracting the square root of some
ugly-shaped piece of land, l think
they were my happiest; and l love
her to-day better than l shall ever
love another. Try as we may, tbs
hard to forget pure affection. Moments
will come to us at times, and place
all the scenes before us-where we
had talked, laughed and played with
those we've loved; where they have
sorrowed with us in trouble, and
been gay companions in our joy. But,
such is life. Oh! L wish l could for
get her, or only think of her as my
little schoolgirl friend. But l shall
never marry her, Landon; / have
fully made up my mind to that. She
could never fill the place in society
l should like for my wife to fill. She
is poor; hea~family is not noted for
anything great. All that could be
said of them is,. they were honest.
Suppose l should have the good luck
to become one of the leading lawyers
of the State, and win fame? She
could never pass in the society, and
be able to entertain the company she
would meet with if she were my wife.
Last night l attended the concert
with her, and-wiil you believe it2-
/ was ashamed to enter the hall with
her, and famed an excuse to let her
go in alone. / know she felt the slight,
but how could L go in with her, be-
fore all of my best acquaintances. and
she dressed so poorly? She even
looked planter to me than 1 ever saw
her before, though suppose it was
because she was contrasted with May
Osburn, and many other elegant
dressed ladies'. When compared
her to May Osburn 1 was perfectly
shocked to see the difference. May, a
perfect beauty, so graceful and dress
ed with such taste; Lena, SO very
plain. Yet, think she possesses the
more amiable disposition. She is
forgiving and kind, yet with spirit
enough to resent wrong. She has
much tt ne courage. How noble she
looked as she walked in the hall alone,
wearing the same dress she had worn,
perhaps, many times before. She had
q look that made all feel that beheld
her, that she belonged to superior
class.
"Well, Eustace, as we have beer
friends so long, you will pardon me
for speaking plain to you. really
gave you credit for having more com
mon sense, and more courage thar
you seem to possess. All that I car
make out of what you have said II
about this, that you have not courags
enough to marry Lena hecause yot
are afraid your aristocratic acqualn,
tances will laugh at yqNr choice. fot

Not Radical Enough.

from the Ne" 1Oik gun.
Mr.. Morrison of New Madrid has
just introduced in the Legislature of
Missouri bill "making it a misde-
meanor punishable by fine and inn
prisonment for newspaper to pub
lish proceedings in divorce cases,
rape cases, SANDER suits, and outra-
ges, or the particulars of such items
of news at the time of their occur
renee"
One difficulty with Mr.. Morrison's
bill is that it is not sufficiently radi-
cal. 1t is superficial. 1t does not
90 to the bottom of the case. 1t
merely strikes at some of the branch
es, whereas it ought to lay the axe to
the root.
Let Mr.. Morrison withdraw this
bill and bring in another enacting
that there shall never be any dlvor-
ces, rape cases, SANDER suits or out
RACES. Then he may iatter himself
that he has done something radical
toward the cure of the evil which so
justly affiicts his mind. The proper
business of wise legislator should be
to prevent social mischiefs rather
than to waste his time in attempting
to restrain people from talking about
them after they are committed.
But, if Mr.. Morrison insists on the
bill he has already introduced, he
ought at least to amend it by adding
provision that no person, man, wo-
man, or child, shall ever open his
lips to speak about any divorce, rape
case, slander suit, or outrage after it
has occurred. 1t would be unjust
and unequal to forbid the newspa-
pers to talk about such things and
yet allow everybody else to talk
about them without restraint and
without punishment.
We commend these considerations
to Mr.. Morrison with all the more
confidence because, although we have
not the advantage of knowing him
personally, we are yet convinced
from the description of his bill which
we have quoted, that he must be an
uncommonly great man.

A gentleman in Danbury has long
been annoyed by his neighbor's hens,
which made daily practice of roy-

the barn, and when those hens came

They have dandy judge in Eng
land. The London World says of
Lord-J Justice Cotton:
His robes, made evidently for the
occasion, the present assizes, are Of
the brightest crimson, his ermine of
the whitest. His stArchbold's Grim
inal Pleading and Evidence" his
Russell onCrimes" and,h t'Stephen
on Evidence as each, notwithstand-
ing certain symptoms of haste peru
sal, still radiant in the newest of COW
ers. But his black cap-that is in
deed a sight worth a journey to Maid
stone. Unlike the plain square of
black cloth ordinarily used, it is
daintily turned up at the corners and
secured apparently by pins. and pre-
sents somewhat the appearance of an
ecclesiastical birettd. The shape and
sit of this article Of judicial attire
have evidently been the subject of
much thought, both on the part Of
his lordship and his body-clerk.
Most judgel, when they have to pro-
nounce sentence of death, take the
black cap from drawer in the desk
before them, or from their pocket
and place it ON their own heads. Not
so Lord Justice Cotton. As the time
approaches for sentence to be deliv-
cred, and while he is still addressing
the prisoner, his body-clerk slips out

Bound to See the Mayor.

A loneseme-looking chap named Quinn,
whose appearance indicated that he was two
seas over with bad booze, was found trying
the door of the mayors Office night before last,
and when asked his business by an officer he
replied that he wanted to haye confidential
chat with his old friend, Mr.. Dawson. The Of
hcer explained that his honor didn't banker
after confidential chats at that hour of the
night, and moreover that he had thrown aside
the perplexities of state for the day and had
taken an al-night berth for the land of Nod,
suggesting at the same time that az the night
was fresh the visitor had better take walk.
Becoming riled at the insinuation the latter
exclaimed that it was free country, and that
any person who tried to put an Injunction on
the right of petition aimed deadly}sblow at
the palladium of liberty itself. As for the pc
titioner, he was going to interview the mayor
or perish. Hc thereupon explained that a
friend was in the lookup charged with drunk
enness, which he characterized as SANDER too
base to go unrefuted. His friend was a mem
Der of the blue ribbon order, which prohibited
the use of everything but ginger beer, and he
was going to have him out if he raised the Kew
stone arch of perdition. Suitipg the action to
the word, he banged away at the Office door.
whereupon he was snatched baldheaded by the
officer and ran to the lookup. He was before
his honor yesterday and will study up the case
during his three days imprisonment.
