BY WILLIAM EILrorT TO ID.


When at night cease my laoor,
Flee from toll and seek repose;
By the hearth-side oft I ponder
O'er my blessings and my woes;
Sad thoughts steal like silent shadows
Far too often DER the scene,
And sigh In secret sorrow
As / think what might have been.
Friends who lived but to dude me
With their Pythian tales by day,
In my night of fallen fortune
One by one have slipped away.
Those who valued most my friendship
Pass me by as though unseen,
Leaving me TO sad reflection,
And sigh, " 1t might have been"
Where the perfume of the fiow'rets
Lingers DER lowly grave.
Oft the SUMS last rays forsake me
AS watch the green grass wave
Wave in sadness, as though sorrow
Caused it's bending blades to lean;
Sorrow for the false one-Katy,
Were she true, 1t might have BEEN"
From the marble-terraced palace,
From the grated prison cell,
Through the crowded streets Of cities,
Ger the rustic hill and dell,
Zen from Neptune's briny bosom
Where the waves roll darkly green,
Sad-toned voices seem to whisper
With regret, " 1t might have been !"

Away back in the early days Of
New Jersy, family from the noun
tains Of Wales, (Old England), made
their home on the site of the now
fiourishing town Of Elizabeth, N. J.,
purchased the property, and lived on
the same many years. As tho years
passed away, this family made history
by marrying and intermarrying emf
granting further west, then Western
New York; and at last many Of them
came TO the boundless West, (Ohio,
Indiana, etc.) Some Of thorn can even
now be found in this city, in Licking
county, Ohio, and other parts Of the
State. i is but the history Of all
families. But now comes the indus
trious genealogical search and the
merciless attorney, putting their tai

documents among the records Of Eliza

er, owner Of most Of tho town site,
never parted with his title, and, that,
70 all intents and purposes, tho present
occupants Of the property are amen
able TO the heirs of The original pur-
chaser. On computation, The property
thus "sauatted" amounts in value to
over seven millions of dollars, which
the attorneys otier 70 prosecute for
one-seventy part, Of $1,000, 900.

CRIME.

ARKANSAS TRAVELLERS. -,
LITTLE Rock, March o9.-On the night OF
Sunday last, the Town OF Fayetteville was en-
tered by mounted band of about twenty
armed men. Several of them proceeded on foot
to the southwest corner Of the public square,
where both barrels OF a shotgun loaded
With buckshot were discharged into window
OF the Sentinel Office. The party then moved de-
hberately BY the residences Of A. P. Farmer,
Reuben Carter, and C. L. Summers, into all Of
which they fired shotted guns. The two parties
joined near Summers, where they remounted
and ga!loped off on the West Fork road. There
is no doubt the party was composed Of
the men who week or more before
had threatened the town in revenge for
the death OF the desperate Reed, who was
killed at the jail. The State Guards, after the
pacific resolutions OF the citizens meeting held
by Reeds friends, had disbanded. and the sud
den attack, in the dark, found the city defense
less andheuce it was unchecked. Fortunately,
10 one WAS hurt A considerable number Of
citizens, after their departure, armed and pa
troled the town until daylight. The man Reed and
the mob who crested this disturbance we're all
terror to the law-abiding people since the early
days of the Wnr. Reed has killed several
men, and frequently With his gang had
ridden into town, harnsslng and annoy
ing 1aw-abiding people. Only short
time before his death be made
on the head with pistol, while the latter was
attempting to maintain the peace. He was ar
rested and fined for this. The row in which he
was killed occurred shortly after. Respectable
people OF his own kin and party deny that poll
tics had anything to do with his taking off.

There are three characters with odor11eroua

company with the notorious James John

Edwards, is said to be wanted upon several
charges of burglary at Oneida, N. !. The
other two, james Burns and Henry Meyer
are being held to the 31st upon general princl"
pies. All three are recent arrivals in this city
from the East.
It is highly probable that the police
will ferret out some unexpected informa-
ton concerning the outrage upon little
Mary Nelson, the particulars OF
which were published In yesterdays paper.
Mary was brought to the place by Dr.. L. H.
Montgomery, who was in attendance upon
Mrs. oO'Brien. Yesterday the little girl
was. taken to the home Of her
parents, and shortly thereafter airs. O'Bricn.
although she had been sick abcd, was moved
from tie Palmer House to some place as yet
unkuo,Yu. All sorts Of rumors are rife concern
iuc the outrage, but thus far there is nothing,

lieved By none,-in 1sct, she cannot ten lne

Special D1Sp1fcH 10 1A2S IfsGH1&-
NEWARK, O., March GA fire was discovered
in the tower OF the new Lecking Courthouse,
at this place, shortly before noon to-day. Be-
fore water could be thrown to where the fire
broke out, the whole tower Was in
flames. Assistance from Columbus was
telegraphed for, and a steamer and
hose-reels came on special train. From the
fact that recent Investigation has shown that
considerable crookedness has existed among
certain county officials, people think it the work
Of parties to cover up irregularities. -Four years
ago the Courthouse was burned to the ground,
with nearly all the records. The present build
Ing was completed last fall at cost OF $198, 600,
and was said to be one OF the finest in the State.
It Is claimed that fire WAS made in the ventila-
tor, this morning to burn it out, and
that the end Of the yentilator was
built OF wood. This end is In
the top OF the earrct, where number OF valua-
bic records were slowed away. The records we're
such as were saved from the former fire, and
contained the transactions Of the old Auditors
and Commissioners. FiTemen, Who we're in the
toEer before the flames reached 1t, say that =
large quantity Of brim6tonc vas seen IN the attic
over tie Clerks Office. The loss on the building
is estimated at about soc, 900: With but $4,000
insurance Indignation runs high among The
citizens against the old Commissioners, who
capped off such a magnificent building with .

f1olculed the idea. He was told that SO lawless
we're these characters whom he proposed to
oenent that be and his books would probably be-
mug out OF the window before his experiment
termlned to perseyere, and with the aid Of some
OF n1s parish be rented large room in the locos-
1ty, ana made It as attractive, BY light and
warmth, comfortable seats, and various books
and papers, as he could at the outset He CON-
menced with twelve boys, to whom he gave free
tickets OF membership. He called 1t "1he
Young Mems Free union.'' His aim was to aid
the members and give them safe and pleasant
place 10 which they could spend their evenings.
ne did not attempt any "religious work."
and he had no book or any sectariap
publication In the room; but be furnished
music aud readings every Sunday evening, and
talk OF plain practical nature for lecture or
other entertainment, twice month. He
limited the membership to
BOYS OVER FOURTEEN YEARS or AaB
not in the public schools. OF course the begin
ming OF all this was not perfectly smooth. The
boys were an undisciplined set, rough, and ac-
customed to rule instead Of being ruled. But
Mr.. Brooks brought to his work real sympathy
and kindness. These are potert powers, and
gradually they have won great results. The boys
who come out Of curiosity have remained, and
brought Others because they have found the in
stitution pleasant aud attractive place. The
Union has now 275 members. There is good
library OF 1900 volumes, full 6le OF papers and
periodicals, classroom for teaching pen
mauship, arithmetic, history, dramatic
reading, spelling, and German. The
average evening attendance is 100, and
ninety members are under regular Instruction
given oy eleven volunteer teachers. Employ
ment is also sought for members out of work,
and one lady deyotes her leisure time to finding
places for the boys. Twelve bave already been
placed in regular situations BY this agency this
winter.
This is the practical result Of religion which,
are Wiling to follow, It Is a much easier thfnx
to "dress up" in one's best clothes, and go
properly to fine church to listen to fine
preacher, rs means OF grace, than to spend
one's time amongst crowd OF unruly, not
oTerclean boys, for the sake not only Of their
individual souls, but of the race and the CON-
munity. But haven't room to argue this at
length, and it is scarcely necessary, with this
practical picture Of practical religion before us.
