CANTON, January 20, 1879.
To the Editor Of The Comet;
Thinking you would like to hear some
thing from this locality, 1 shall appropriate
few leisure minutes for your pleasure. |
To say that my welcome here, after years of
absence, was very cordial; but poorly ex-
presses the truth, in fact, was at loss to
know which invitation to accept, 30 per-

his estimable family were here and keeping

have met many old friends and miss
some. Whilst some are cheerful the most
of them have had cause to mourn, and the
people generally, as in other places of our
scourged country, have sad look.
There has been but little improving done
of late years and the streets are in wretch
ed condition. Sewers are greatly needed
to carry of the accumulated filth and water
from portions of the town.
And great abundance of schools the
most prosperous of which is the female
Academy under charge of Prof. Magruder,
a very efficient teacher and good scholar.
He is a home made man. There is, how
ever, great lack of first-class Academies
for boys throughout our country, some
thing to tako the place of the preparatory
department at Oxford. l hope eur next
Legislature will take this matter under
serious consideration, and act with moro
wisdom than did the last.
regret to say that one of the most
shocking murders-assassinatiO l

last Saturday night.
A most respectable citizen, Mr.. Mckay,
living near Sharon, was shot down at his
own hearthstone, his wife setting beside

MEMORIES OF THE PAST.
BY VALENTINE voX.

BY VALENTINE voX.
How nice it is to me to sit,
Within the sunsets glow,
And mipgle with tobacco spit,
Sweet scenes of long ago
How fast the dying shadows fly,
Athwart the meadow low
I wipe tear from out my eye,
For scenes OF long ago
All. well mind ME when lad,
1 trod my way to school,
And often with soul made sad,
Adorned the ounces stool;
Aud when I'd fashion paper balls,
And slyly did them shoot,
The mastered dust my Overalls,
And thump my head to boot
And when 1 older, larger grew,
Before times onward lash,
Midst sorrow black and sorrow blue,
l raised my first moustaehe;
see me now as fore the glass,
1 let the razor slip,
And cut-oh, most unlucky pass
cut my underlip
And how, dressed in my Sunday best
1 courted Mary Jane,
But she my love did bascly jest,
And married Johnny Lane.
IT'S sweet, as silent here sit,
And watch the leaflets float,
To think how she laughed at the split,
Torn in my frock tail coat
And when at last I gained gal,
That fully filled my eye,
found that when l married Sal,
had to yield or die.
Stew-pans, skillets, and china plate,
Oft found resting place,
Upon my nearly balded pate,
Or 'gainst my wrinkled face
But now she's dead-yes dead and gone,
I'm truly glad 70 say;
And l, an old man sad and lone,
Await my final day
But when, at last, I'll strive to flop,
Up to the gates of day,
I'll bet some fool will try to stop,
