AN OLD MANS DREAM

An ulD MAN 3 DREAM.
Oh, for one hour of youthful joy,
Give back my twentieth spring.
ID rather laugh u bright haired boy
Than reign u gray-haired king
OF with the wrfnkled spoils of age;
Away with learning's crown;
"ear out life's wisdOm-written page,
And dash it's trophies down.
one moment let my life-blood stream
From bOyhOOd'S fount of flame
Give me one glddy, reeling dream
or lie, all iove and fame
Ny listening angel heard the prayer.
And calmly smiling, said:
"If had touched thy silvered hair
Thy hasty wish had sped.
But ls there nothing in my track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished for day
All. truest soul of woman-kind,
Without thee what were life I?
One bliss l cannot leave behind
I'll take-my precious wife.
The angel took sapphire pen,
And wrote in rainbow dew:
Ihe man would be q boy again
And be husband, too.
rs there another yet unsaid
Before the change appears
remember all their gifts have fled
With those dissolvinK years"
Why, yes. would one favor more
NV fond paternal joys
Icould not bear to leave them all;
I'll take my girls and boys"
The smiling angel dropped his pen
'Why, this will never do
The man would be boy again,
And be father, top"
And SO laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise,
l wrote my dream when morning broke
To please the y-haired boys.

was drowned in an uproar for the
"sack," the distinguished citizen
from San FRANCISCO appeared on the
balcony, and uttered a few disjointed
sentences, which, notwithstanding the
efforts of the organ, to make them CO.
herent, appear ridiculous in IT'S col
umns. Amidst bursts of derisve laugh
ter from the audience he retires the
band follows and the crowd disperses,
ridiculing the idea Of electing such a
man, even were he q resident of the
State, to the Senate.
Yet the people are told by Mr.
Sharon's organ, the Virginia Enterprise,
that Mr.. Sharon is great man that
he has made Nevada great State, and
that because he calls himself Repub-
hean, Republicans must not, under
penalty of being ostracised and sub
jected to the organs lash, make light
of his pretentions or oppose his candi-
dacy for the Senatorship. Was there
ever anything more pitiable than the
condition of decent Republicans in
Nevada, who IN terror OF Mr.. Sharon's
paper, silently acquiese in his attempt,
under the plea of patriotism, to climb
over their shoulders into the seat of a
United States Senator !? Phey know,
that aside from his being nonresident
of the State, he does not possess any
of the qualifications of a statesman /;
that he shamefully neglected the inter-
ests of his constituents, by keeping
away from the Senate when the Silver
and Chinese bills were before Congress,
ard that oatside of the Crooked Rail
road and the Eureka Narrow Gauge, he
could not get dozen votes in Nevada,
yet admit, that by the free use OF money
in. the campaign, and in the Legisia-
ture, his reelection is not only possible
but probable.

SHARON'S RECEPTION.

Our Senator from California, William
Sharon; visited the metropolis of the
Stste; in.which he does not reside and
which he does not attempt to represent,
arfo|' days ago. His henchlnen ex-
peo5ed him, and his organ, the Enter

Hade him. and everything that money
could do to make his reception impos-
mig was accomplished. A few idlers,
probably hired for the occasion,. assem-

A cutting affray occurred on the
ranch of Col. Gillespie, near Lodi, Cali
fornia, yesterday between. one Gordon
and James Moore. Moore had been
working for Gordon, but owing to some
damage done to one of Gordon's horses
by Moore while in his employ he re-
fused to pay him. Yesterday morning
Gordon drove up to the machine on
which Moore was working when Moore
went up to him and demanded his
money, and upon being refused struck
Gordon with his fist. Gordon drew a
large knife and stabbed Moore first in
the shoulder and then in the back cut
| ting long cash around the waist. The
wounds are pronounced very serious
and little hope is entertained for his
recovery.

Washington, about Mr.. Claude M. Har-
rington and Miss Alice Ford, fine
looking young lady Of eighteen years,
who for several months past has been
employed in the Chester County Ice
Cream Saloon on Ninth street, near F.

Harrington is q married man, with a
family Of three children, and this fact,
II is stated, WAS made known to Miss
Ford. She was also warned by her en-
ployers that il she persisted in receiv-
ing Harrington's attention she would
be discharged. 1t is stated that on
Thursday morning Miss Ford, being in
the private door Of q restaurant on
Ninth street was beckoned to by
Harrington, and she at once Joined
him, and they Immediately went to the
Baltimore and Ohio depot, and took the
TT ain for the West. One of the neigh
Dor. states that Harrington had quite
an amount of money with him, and
Il q. he stated before leaving that he
wa, going West to start business. Mr..
Harrington was about year ago arrest
ed in Washington for forgery, and was
indicted in October last, but nothing
further was done in the case other than

which was stored in . vault formerly

rats disputed their passage, and while
the elder of the children fought the
animals with piece Of iron, the other
returned to the saloon and screamed
for assistance, saying that bis brother
was in the vault surrounded by rats;
MIR, Grosspan and two neighbors armed
themselves with clubs and fastened to
tbe rescue of the boy. The sight that
mat their eyes as they entered inc
vault was one such as they had never

HARVARD CLAss SONG.

The voyage, classmates, has been made;
Our ship draws near tho shore
To say farewell before we land
We've gathered here once more,
We gaze behind upon tho waves,
Half sad the journeys DER;
Half trembling through the mists we scln
The rugged coast before.
There have been days Of glory, when
The wind blew fre.h and strong
There have boon weary oalms, that made
The way seems;hard and long;
Upon our hearts these memories
With mingled feelings thr0nR;
The Joy, the pain, the fear, the hope,
We utter In our song.
In manhood's land iull many roads
To honor's goal we see
Through mountain-pass and desert waste
Well struggle earnestly.
And at each onward step we gain,
A song prayer shall be
For eighty, GEAR old ship, that brought
Us safely DER the sea.
