But the Young Man Didn't Have the Acher
Pulled.
An Oil City man was standing In front
of a dentists Office with an anxious, un-
happy look in his eyes, and two yards of
flannel round his lower jaw. He cast sor-
rowful glances upward to the dentists
sign, and in hesitating sort Of way plac-

out to the street again as if he had for
gotten something. Col. Scion came along
at this moment, and with thoughtful
interest IN the mans welfare said:

FRIENDS OF LONG AGO.

When I sit in the twilight cleaning,
And the busy streets grow still, ,s
I dream Of the wide, green meadows, i
And the old house on the hill.
can see the roses blooming
Abont the doorway low,
Again my heart gives greeting
To the friends Of long ago
Dear long ago!
lean see my mother sitting, .
With life's snowtlakes in hen hair,
And she Smiles above her knitting,
And her face is sanity fair.
And see my father reading
From the Bible ON his knee,
And again I hear him praying
AS he used to pray for me
So long ago!
I see all the dear old faces
OF the boys and girls at home,
As saw them in the dear old days
Before we learned to roam.
And sing the old songs over
With the frieuds used to know,
And my heart forgets it's sorrows
In it's dream Of long ago!
Dear long ago!
How widely our feet have wandered
! From our old homes tender ties,
Some are beyond the ocean.
And some are beyond the skies.
NV heart grows sad with thinking,
OF the friends / used to know;
Perhaps shall meet in heaven
All the loved ones Of long ago,
Dear long ago!

This gave a start to all sorts Of stories

But they were utterly untrue, as the fact
that he has retained his voice to his prc.

is that his throat was always most deli

ness in the Congregational Council this
morning was the presentation OF the re.

recommended that the whole matter be
referred to q committee OF twenty-five,
that committee to publish their conclu.

members were appointed 10 select the com.

Edward Beecher read q report, recon.
mending that the present Congressional
Representative from Utah be not sd.
mitted TO his seat in Congress, and
that the Territory OF Utah be refused
admission to the Union until polygamy ia
abolished there. The report received re.
peated applause, but was not adopted, for
the reason that it was clear that Congress
had no right to exclude the Utah delegate.
It was ordered printed, however.
DR.. Geo. L. Walker, OF Hartford, read

the chimney OF the fan pit Is now but a

at the head OF the shaft have been scuttled
in every direction, and all the surround

Yesterday q superstitious fear was upon
the miners, and great difficulty was expe'

work done. In consequence Of this, but
little headway was made In tho trench,
This morning, however, everybody
seemed 10 recover in spirits, and
plenty OF men went cheeriully tc
