THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
BY FATHER RYAN.

Some may reckon their age by years.
Some reckon their life by art
But some toll their days by the fow of their
tears,
And their life by the means of their heart.
The diels of earth may show
The length not depth of years;
Few or many they come-few many they go
But our time is best measured by tears.
All not by tho silvery gray
That creeps thro; the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our
way
And not by the burrows, the fingers of care,
On the forehead and face have made;
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
OF our souls, and the foil Of our tears.
For the young are oft-times old,
Tho their brow be bright and fair;
While their blood beats warm their heart lies
Ger them the spring g-time-but winter is there
And :he old are oft-times young.
When their hair ia thin and white;
And they sing in age as in youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was light.
But bead by bead Tell
The rosary of my years:
From q cross to cross they lead-'tis we'll,
And theyr blessed with o blessing of tears.
Better day of strife
Than n century Of sleep;
Give me instead Of long stream of life,
The tempest and tears of tho deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the billows of oil the years
But mover a foam brings the bark back home;
1t reaches the heaven through tears.

do not think he should have been eufran.
chised at the time and in the manner in
which II was DONE My first objection is,
that thesmode that was pursued, if not di.
rectly unconstitutional, was certainly extra
constitutional, and am utterly opposed to
nykyiolatioh, direct or indirect, to that
IinsttumetkA Whenever political party
'thinkslt eessary, in order to secure its
supremacy,to actsoutside of tho coustitu.
ton, and this is permitted by the people
without rcbuke, we may be sure that we
have entered upon that downward plane
which every previous republic has travelled
to destruction. The only hope of main.
tanning our institutions in their integrity
is by a strict observance of the coustitu-
ton, and no party should be allowed to re-
main 3 moment in power which counte-
nances in any manner any violation of its
sacred provisions.
My next objection to confcrring suffrage
on the negro, Immediately upon his eman-
cipation, was that he was totally incompc.
tent to exercise or even to understand the
rights conferred upon him. The injection
of such mass of ignorant and unframed
voters into the body polite was the most
perilous straiu to which our institutions
have ever been subjected, and the danger
arising from this experiment has not yet
passed. 1t was crime against the whites
Of the South to disfranchise them in large
part while cnfranchising the negro, and
thus practically placing all the rights of the
former at the mercy of newly emancipated
slaves. All these difficulties might have
been avoided had partial suffrage been
adopted in the first instanc, aud the rela-
to adjust themselves by the unimpeded ac>
tion of natural laws. This course would
have been infinitely better for the negro
himself, as it would gradually have trained
him in the exercise of the rights of free
men, aud would have prevented that antag
! onism between the two races which has
resulted, in so many instances, to the injury
of. the negro.
Those who assert that the negro should
have been enfranchised have not hesitatcd
to declare that tho Indians, tho native free.
men of America, and the Chinese, who
have sought our shores in such numbers
should be debarrcd that right There
seems to be some inconsistency in these
views, and the advocates of negro eEfran-
chisement should be called on to show why
the privilege should be granted to him, the
newly emapcipated slave, and yet denied
to men who have always been free and who
possess more intelligence.
When the negro was made citizen, il
followed as logical consequence, under
the theory of our institutions, that he mus
become voter. My objection to his en-
franchisemeut, therefore, is confined to tn,
time when and the mode in which th
privilege was conferred upon him.
Easvo- answered these question Will

discussion, free from political acrimouy an,
partisan misconceptions, would cncourag,

WORK FOR TRAMPS.

Since May last the city of Providence, R. L.,
has had a woodward where employment is
given in saving wood at the rate OF fifty cents
a day. to all who apply; and citizens are re-
quested to send all able-bodied applicants for
relief there. The results OF this wood yard
system" have been excellent. During the eight
months the yard has been in operation the city
has lodged only 1858 tramps, against 5,19t
lodged IN the corresponding months OF 1877
Besides this diminution Of the tramp nuisance
labor has been furnished to good many of
the deserving poor, who might otherwise have
suffered or been degraded by misdrected chari-
ty into paupsrism. In making his report OF
the work, the Mayor Of the city says
The imposition OF labor has almost wholly
kept away the thoroughly vsgrant, dead-beat
class, who used to peregrinate the city, begging
from house to house. There is an immunity
from these pests which tbe city has not en-
joyed for many years. On the opening OF the
yard ! suggested in notice to the public that

dicating that the bearer desired meal. when
on the performance OF two hours OF labor, he
should receive it. This was done, think, quite
generally, and OF those who were thus put in
the way OF obtaining meal not one in ten
came. They preferred to go hungry rather
than labor Only fifty seven have been fur
nished with meals, and most OF these came in
May and June. Contrast this with the fact
that within three years one thousand persons
were fed. a meal to each. at the Dexter Asylum
during the winter months.

ST JOHN TIE .fGED.

I'm growing very old. This weary head
That hath 40 often leaned on Jesus breast,
Is bent and hosry with its weight Of years.
Ny ears are dull. they scarcely hear the sobs
or INV dear children gathered round my couch;
NV ewes so dim they cannot see their tears.
God lays his hand upon me-yea, hs hand,
And not bis rod-the gentle hand that
Felt those three years so often pressed in mine,
In friendship such as passeth woman's love.
I'm old. 90 old cannot recollect
Pbe faces of my friends, and forget
The words and deeds that make up daily life;
Rut that dear face and every word He spoke,
Crow more distinct as others fade away.
Some seventy years ago

And then he came and called Incarnate love
Took hold OF me and claimed me for it's own;
T followed in the twilight, holding fast
HIS mantle. Oh what holy walks we had
And oftentlmes he leaned upon my arm,
Weaned and wayworn. Twas young and strong,
And 30 upbore him. Lord now am weak,
And old, and feeble. Let me rest on thee
So. pat thine arm around me. Closer still
How strong thou art
What say you friends?
That this Is Ephesus, and Christ is gone
Back to his kingdom? Ab. 'tis SO, It's 30.

To stand once more upon my native hills
And touch my Master! Oh! how oft I've seen

For by the sweetness Of my Masters voice
Just now, think He must be very near.

That murmurs 80, or is it weeping? Hush

Love God and man, Amen. Now bear me back.

belonged. The mine vas closed about the
year 1867 Since that time there have been
two cases of mysterious disappearance FROM
the vicicity OF Ellenyille, and this fact has
added considerable to the interest of the dis
coyery OF the skeleton. The Fl st case of dis
appearance was that Of a peddler, which
took place a short time after the mine was
abandoned. The peddler had stopped over
night at a hotel in the sparsely settled region
between Eilenvllle and Summitville, and was
never afterward seen. He was known to
carry large sum Of money, and the people
in that section b-lieved at the time that he
had been foullY dealt with The finding OF
the skeleton has brough 70 the minds OF
many their former convictions, and 1T Is the
generally accepted theory that the skeleton
Is ali that remains Of the peddler of twelve
years ago. About the time of the closing OF
the mine there disappeared from Ellenvlllle
a TELEGRAPH operator named Smith, and there
are those who think to account for his dlsap-
pearance on the theory of his having fallen
through the insecure covering OF the shaft
and drowning in the water with which the
mine was flooded The authorities have
taken charge of the skeleton, and intend
making careful investigation of that por-
ton of the mine in which it was found, to
discover, if possible, clew to the indemnity
of the remains.
The solution of the above mystery is con-
tanned in the Associated Press dispatches on
the first page of this issue.-EDs. APPEAL. z
