ON THE PICTURE OF A CHILD.
BY JUDGE J. F. N

I gaze upon that calm, sweet face,
Those smooth, dark tresses. gentle eyes,
And in each lineament / trace
A bud to bloom in Paradise.
For gems that here awhile may glow,
But which cold earth must yet resign,
Will fairer, purer, brighter grow
When polished by q hand divine.
And so with how'rs that bud and bloom
Beneath a cold and cherries sky;
They Wither in the cold and gloom,
But blossom sweeter by and by.
While here l gaze, fond mem'ry weayes
A garland that can never fade,
AS, sweeping Ger times withered leaves,
Comes back to view a past decade;
And there again that same sweet face,
Like fairy face mid vernal bow RS,
That form, all symmetry and. grace,
] see among the blooming flow rs;
see them through fond mem'ry's eye.
And love, the scene would still retain,
FOrah! tbs all Of her that !
Shall ever see on earth again.
Alas! this little picture brings
Sad mem ries-with the fOnd-to light;
The Bee, that makes the honey, stings,
And darkness shoWsth the stars more. bright
A void is in yon love-crOwned home,
Nor earth nor time can ever fill,
Yet SD reflections only come
To make the fond more tender still.
And though Ihaye the semblance here,
And gaze on it with loving eyes,
The darling one, TO mem'ry dear,
An angel is in Paradise.

the purpose of taking action in all
matters in connection with the estate.
and to make a final distribution of the

Messrs. Gregory, Finley and Turley,
members of the bar, we're selected to
act as a committee to hear aud decide
all questions in regard to assignee's

ton should be made. The committee
are in session at the Office of Mr.. Thos.
Turley, in the afternoons, from.3 until
5 o'clock, hearing the arguments OF
counsel on the different questions
which have arisen. Some Of them are
very complicated and have never be-

debts have been proved, amounting to
about Sl,022,000, upon which it is sup
posed a dividend will be made.
The amount of the fund to be

The committee will report to an
adjourned meeting of creditors at 3
o'clock on Saturday, at the office of

MANS EGOTISNI.
A Truthful Piece OF Arkansas
Romance.

Little Rock Gazette.l
A very singular termination to a
love affair has just occurred near this
city. Some time ago a young man,
whom 1t would no doubt be well to
call James, not because it is his real
name, and not because there is any
thing so striking in this ancient cog
nomen, but because, well because
fell in love, or thought he did. with a
young lady whom, for about the same
reasons as given above, it would be
well to call Susan. Practical names.
both of them. The fondness of James
was returned. James told Susan that
he loved her, and Susan told James
that she lovedhim. James askedSusan
to marry him, and Susan said that she
would. The young man had spent
sleepless nights in contemplating the
prize he was attempting to win, but
when he found that the pole of his at
fractions had knocked the 'persim-
mon" Of Susan's affections, he ceased
tossing the cover at night and slept
soundly. Finally he unused: II don't

BUSY PRINCE.
How the Prince Of Wales Puts in
Bis Time.

London Special, May ST.
What a busy unbiquitious man the
Prince of Wales is He seldom
leaves a stone unturned that is likely
to bring him popularity. He attended
the first appearance of Modjeska, and
the same evening was also at the
Royal Academy banquet, where Bret
Harte vas one of the guests, got the
first inning in complimenting the
prince, but at the same time expressed
himself as a little disappointed at not
finding him such a big man as he ex-
pected. Next, the prince is seen at
the Newmarket race course, where
the American trotters that have
come from New York we're exhibited
for his amusement. His royal high
ness was much pleased with their
performance. Let me give the pro-
gram of the princes labors and wan
behring's for a week, Monday he went
with the Princess of Wales to Ports
mouth to bring home his sons, Albert,
Victor and George, "middies' on board
the Bacchante. Tuesday evening the
prince and princess saw the Pirates
OF Penzance." Wednesday he gave a
dinner at Marlborough house. at
which nearly all the new members of
the cabinet were present. Friday af-
ternoon he held a levee by command
OF the queen, at st. James palace.
Presentations to this court were con
sidered equivalent to presentation to
her majesty in person. Among those
who were thus honored on the occa-
sion was the Hon. J. w. Foster,
United States minister to Russia, who
was presented to the United States
Charge d'Affaires, Saturday night he
went to see Nine. Albani, in "Lohen-
grin" Next Monday he will attend
Miss Genevieve Wards matinee per
formance f"L'Aventuriere." and a
fortnight hence he is announced to
lay the foundation stone of Truro
cathedral. AT the royal academy
banquet the prince seized the oppor-
tunity to highly eulogize his brother,
the duke of Edinburg, for his services
in connection with the American re-
lief ship. At the same time he paid
a splendid compliment to American
~liberality. The queen is seldom seen
in public. She may possibly open the
exhibition Of Indian re~collections at
South Kensington this month, but its
very uncertain.

The Eslhnlus Railway.

WASHINGTON. May 11.-Capt. Eads
seems very certain of securing enough
votes to pass his bill for an Isthmus
ship railway. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the bill will be taken up at
this session. If nothing else stood in
the way, there is a general feeling of
dissatisfaction in the house with all
movements looking to interooeanic
ship canals or railways. The subject
has been badly mismanaged by the
committee appointed to take charge of
it, and the feeling of the house was
very clearly manifested the other day
when the chairman of the committee,
General King, of Louisiana, attempted
to take up the resolution on the Mon
roe doctrine. He was voted down
almost unanimously. To return to
Captain Eads' project, however, it is
very plainly to be seer from converse
ton with members of both houses who
have been prominent in connection
with the subject that Captain Eads has
greatly interested them in his plans.
Many Of those who formerly favored
the Nicarauga route have been CON
vinced hat the proposed ship railway
is not only possible, but that it could
be more cheaply built and maintained
than a@canal. The idea seems to be a
growing one, and gains strength. 1t
IS because he sees this that Captain
Eads remains in Washington. 1t
matters little to him whether his bill
shall come up this session, or should
be postponed until next winter. What
he is working for is ultimate success,
and that he thinks he will gain. AS
usual, he is thoroughly given up to
his new plan.

The pain has been SO acute indeed,
that as long as he was able to do so,
he would walk the floor and wiring his

arrived in the city at 8 o'clock last

Hyde could get about sufficiently to
chop wood and do little chores about
the house. A few days ago he was
cutting wood on the wood pile when
a chip flew up and struck him on the

with his hand to ease the pain. When
he removed his hand he was astonish-

objects in front of him, and before he
reached the house he could see quite
plainly. AT present his sight seems
to be restored to the left eye. Only
