MEMORIES.

There are memories deep in the
recesses of our hearts, that the hand
of time never entirely effaces, al
though dimmed for time and al
most forgotten. Yet oft word, a
glance, or perhaps little flower,
calls in flood of memories-memo-
ries of our childhood home: the
hopes of our youth; visions of days
gone, never to return.
The mariner, tossed on the
stormy waves of the wide ocean, oft
thinks Of the home far away, where
the loving faces of mother and sis
tiers await his return. The traveller
in foreign lands mingles with the
gay crowd, yet his eyes oft fill with
tears of sad, sweet memories of the
home of his boyhood-his school
mates, whom he may perhaps never
see again. Each season is fraught
with memories-the spring, the
summer, the fall Memories of
faces and forms dear to us, who
have faded from our sight, yet their
memory is cherished.
The Christmas season, that is
now fast approaching. has its sweet
memories. The pleasant home cir
Gle; the visions of Santa Claus. :"
Alb! how the little ones enjoy that
season. With what joyful faces and
gay shouts they welcome each
Christmas! 1t is the happiest period
of their lives, to which. in after
years, they will look back with
sweet memories.
How sadly. yet how sweetly. comes DER
me today.
Memories of childish joys. that have all
passed away;
And of dear, pleasant home. meath the
oak trees shade.
Where, with brothers and sister, oft 1
-Aave played.
sWlere the clustering vines clambered up
to the caves.
And birds built their nests amid the
bright leaves.
How oft. when child. meath the shade
I've roamed,
Ofthose grand old oaks that surround
my homo.
Needless then of life. that is now so real,
Dreaming idly of some fairy ideal.
Where are now the bright day-dreams
cherished of yore?
They have vanished, ali! me, to return
no more.
Though life still has its pleasures, and
the world is bright and fair.
And nv brow is often clouded with its
burden and its care,
Yet the memory of my childhood is ever
fresh and bright,
And that happy, happy circle. never
fadetn from my sight" NJ.

THE TRAMP'S VICTORY.
detroit Free Press. ]

A citizen of Howard street was
picking his teeth at his gate the
other day, after a hearty dinner,
when a tramp came around the COR
ner and halted before him.
mo usell' said the citizen, "I've
no food for tramps.'
Il didn't ask you for any, did T."
answered the man.
NO; but Won look as if. you want
ed to-
"Well, I can't help my looks. but
I'm no beggar. / pay for all I get.
You look to me like gentleman.
"Y-e-s9"
You have smart, intelligent
look about you.
"Well, I hope So"
I'D pick You out anywhere from
the common herd, I wonld,' con-
tinued the tramp, as he gently rub
bed his back on the fence.
We'll, that's pr,ty good said
tie citizen, rs he stroked his whis-
kers, "but what is all this talk
about?"
III tell YOU. I'm nothing but an
old tramp. I don't know buck
wheat from broom-corn, while You
know everything. Give me a chance
and Ill give you one. l see you
have got two cords of wood at the
side gate, and I'll make you this
offer. Ii you'll make speech ten
minutes long, I'll saw that wood for
nothing. Ii You break down, you
shall give me a square dinner and
I'll move on"
BY George. but I'll do that"
chuckled the citizen.
Very we'll; I'll stand to my bar
gain"
The citizen threw away his tooth
pick, pulled out his watch. cleared
his throat and began:
"Fellow Offensive are called
together here to-day by common
impulse. We have met-we have
met-we have-we have"
'4ou can try once more-I don't
want to be hard ON you," observed
the tramp, as the citizen broke
down. TRY the financial question
this time"
Thus encouraged, the citizen led
off With:
Fellow Citizens-You have lis
tened to the long-winded remarks
of Sam Cary. He has told you that
piece of paper is as good as gold
dollar. He has told you that he
has had the impudence to assert
that-that is, he has told you-told
you"
"I'll give you one more chance"
said the tramp, as the breakdown
seemed complete.
"But 1 won't take it," replied tho
citizen. "You go around to the
back door. and I'll tell the girl to
set you out the best dinner you've
had in year; and you needn't be-
in u hurry about leaving the table.

not 80 much reproach to him as 1t is
proof Of the hold this pestilent custom has
upon us. The merits Of the present bill
may be discussed hereafter, as IL goes over
from the present session, but the subject
should not be last sight of in or out of
Congress.
Complaint is made that Secretaries Shur-
man and Schurz are distributing from their
departments documents in the interest of
the former as candidate for the Presiden-
cy. These are in the form Of financial
and semi-ofIcial publication, and the lauda-
tory notice of Shurman are conspicuously
marked. Would not an investigation be
In order?
The nomination of Secretary McCrary
as Federal Judge will probably be with
drawn, to be sent in again when the judi
cial vacancy actually occurs. This is be-
cause the Judiciary Committee of the s en-
ate came to the conclusion that no nomi-
nation could properly be acted on for
place not actually vacant, though its oc-
cupants resignation had been accepted.
AS before stated in this correspondence,
dhere will be few opposers of confirmation
when the vote is taken.
The Legislature bill goes to the President
to-day. He will approve it. The army
bill will follow it this week. There is little
doubt that it also, viii be approved. The
other bill, which provides for part of the
court expenses of the government will
probably be vetoed, then modified by Con-
gress, passed again, and approved. There
is no reason why adjournment should not
be reached early next week - probably on
Tuesday. Great numbers of Congressman
have gone home, aud others leave every
day. OLIVE.

Planting Trees by the Roadside.

The following very important law
passed both branches of the Legislature
at the present session
SECTION l.. That any person liable to
road tax who shall transplant to the side
of public highway, on his own prem
ises, any fruit, shade or forest trees of
suitable size, shall be allowed by the Su-
pervisor of roads, where roads run
through or adjoin cultivated fields, an
abatement on his road tax, one dol
lar four every four trees set out /;
but no row of elms shall be nearer than
seventy feet, no row of naples or other
forest trees nearer than fifty feet, except
locust, which may be set thirty feet
apart; and no allowance, as before men,
toned, shall be made unless such trees
shall have been set out the year previ-
GUS to the demand for such abatement,
and are living and are well protected
from animals at the time of such de-
mand.
SEC. 9. Any trees transplanted to the
side of the public highway aforesaid, in
the place of trees which have died, shall
be allowed for in the same manner and
on the same conditions as in the previ-
GUS section.
Sec. 3. No person shall be allowed an
aoatenient vi his highway laA as alore-
said more than one quarter of his
annual highway tax, and no one shall
receive an abatement of tax for trees
planted previous to the passage of this
act.
SEC. A. Any person who shall cut
down, kill or injure any living trees
planted as aforesaid, shall pay to the
supervisor of roads as aforesaid, fifty
cents for each and every tree cut down,
killed or removed, and to be collected as
other taxes are now collected.

Exciting S Gene in Court.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 17.-This after.
noon during the trial of John ]. O'Brien
for the alleged seduction of Miss Lizzie
Voss, and while the defendant was testi-
flying as to his innocence of the crime,
Miss Lizzie arose from her seat and
walking toward the defendant, said =
:" You villain, you murdered my father,
and now you want to ruin my reputa-
toni" AS she ceased speaking she
drew pistol from her dress pocket, but
before she could fire it was caught by the
Deputy Sheriff, who wrested it from her
hands. Last March Miss Voss' father
committed suicide on learning of his
daughters disgrace. The suit now pend
ing is for five thousand dollars dam
ages.
