All Old Mans Dream.

To1L1NG along with weary step in
the hot sun, an old man found shade
and sat down to rest under tree
which some kind hand had planted
long years before. Some children
watched him from across the street,
wondering if he had no one to lean on
and no home to 60 to.
The wind whispered so softly through
the branches overhead, and the shade
was so cool and refreshing that the
old man slept. He dreamed that he
had home again, and children played
before the door. He returned from
his days work as of yore, and little
faces were at the gate to be kissed,
and little voices cried out in glee.
Around his table were wife and sons
and he sat with them on the porch as
the sun went down, and had a heart
big with Thanksgiving. Then his
dream changed. He again sent his sons
To the war never to see them again;
and he once more stood beside the cof-
fin of his wife and felt that earth had
no more happiness for him. In his
dream he saw strangers in his home,
strange children at the gate, and he
beheld himself old, and poor, and for
saken. His tears fell, and when he
awoke he was crying out in the bitter
ness of his heart:
81 had better be dead, for no one
soul on earth cares for metz
He looked down, and there was food
at his feet. The ragged old hat which
he had laid aside had been replaced by
a better one, and inside it was child 8
handkerchief and three or four pen
MES. Hidden behind the fence across
the way the children noted his amaze
ment and laughed softly, and he looked
up and down, and failed to find them.
He gathered up the things with glad
smile, and as he rose to go he said:
I" know not who it was, but an old
man gives them his blessing.'
The children watched him as he
moved away with brighter step, and as
he wiped away tear.
How little it was, yet how much
nearer Heaven he felt for it!-Detr0i!

The W0tes Rights.

l am glad TO see the bold stand you
take against this foolish idea Of buyine
these water rights that aye now In the
market and what makes IL still more
absurd 10 the apparent willingness of
the Council to buy at an enormous
price. 1 see by your paper yesterday
that the water rights, Nos. 3 and 4, could
have been bought some years ago for
$4,000, with the buildings, land and
machinery, all In good order. Can it
be possible that our City Council has
no more business capacity than to do
such blind act as the purchase now
proposed would be; with so many facts
staring them In the face that have beer
pointed out bv the GAZETTE al differ
ent timesp I cannot think they will.
for they have been running the city In
way that has been commendable to
themselves, and the ones who placed
them In power. 1t would be great
blunder TO allow these parties who are
paid for u, TO luduce them to make
such great mistake at this time. The
real estate we don't want at any price
for the reason we have no use for 1t.
We have a plenty of land there for all
s.uic W colho III ou' pumping apparatus.
The Nos. 8 and water rights might be
bought at q low price II. the parties
want to sell, but We don't want them
for at least 20 years, and apprehend
no danger that they will be bought up
rooner. But IL the owners are fortunate
to sell them, we can get along without
them; aud further, the child 10 not
borne yet, that will see the time when
the city will want the Nos. o and
water rights to help supply us with
water.

Entertainment at No. 4 School

Entertainment at No. L School.
The pupils of the girls grammar de-
partment of No. school, under the
care Of Miss Pringle as principal, with
Misses Sayers, Hay and jackson as
assistants, gave an exceedingly inter-
esting entertainment yesterday after
noon. The exercises consisted of some
very excellent music, under the direc-
tion of Prof. Rhoads, also q number of
recitations and readings, by the several
classes. Among the visitors present
we the Rev. DIR. Frost, Rev.
DIR. Marks, Rev. Mr.. Davis and Mr..
James Woolley, Superintendent Har-
Ian, President Eckel, and Messrs. Nor
row, Baird and Kenney of the Board
of Education. A number of ladies also
graced the occasion withtheir presence.
The exercises showed very decided
proficiency on the part of the pupils,
and together with the department and
almost perfect discipline exhibited by
the entire school were subjects OF
gratifying remarks by all present. Ad-
dresses were made by DIR. Marks, who
expressed both surprise and giatifica.
tion AT what he had witnessed, and by
President Eckel, who took occasion to
allude to certain remarks recently
made at a meeting of the Board of
Education, in which hints were thrown
out derogatory to the character of the
school, and disposed of them in man
ner which appeared to satisfy all pres
ent that No. l school is not only above
reproach, but stands in the front rank
Of well-governed schools, and is a
model of order, discipline ana re-
spectability. He paid a deserved COM
pliment alike to teachers and scholars.
Mr.. Woolley and Mr.. Kenney also ad-
dressed the pupils in pleasant and
appropriate manner. A parting song,
very prettily rendered, closed one OF
the most enjoyable entertainments yet
given by the scholars of grammar
