LILACS.

Inscribed 10 Mrs, Annie Batty,
In waking dream / shut my eyes
And sec again my native skies
And | watch the daylight fade away,
Into the beautiful twilight gray
While breathing the lilac's perfume sweet,
In dreams, once more my last friends
meet.
And once again, midst the grass and
flowers,
| am willing away the golden hours
In blissful trance in the valley fair,
Thrilrd with the breath of perfumed air;
And | hear the valley church bells chime,
Where liacs bloom in the sweet spring
time.
Where the Delaware comes winding down
Each wavelet bearing silv'ry crown
! have watched It's lazy waters beat,
crystal and beryl, against my feet;
While pink tipp'd lllacs, purple and fair
lwlned with the bralds of my wind-toss'd
hair.
Ie purple lilacs my feet have strayed,
From my island home and its beechen
shade;
But a friendly hand hath brought thy
bloom,
To WOO me back with thy sweet perfume
TO the valley green, midst the hills love,
To the cleaning isle, with its beechen grove.
| shut my eyes and dream of the buds,
And violets hid in the leafy woods;
| gather the pebbles along the shore;
And count the white shells DER and DER
But waking, no more | walk the strand
No white shells lie in my empty hand
They were tipped with pink-purple and
white,
Swaycd by the breeze in the morning light;
Where golden buttercups starr'd the sward,
BY my fathers door, IN the grassy yard
All! neer again by the door I'll stand
With the purple lilacs in my hand
May God bless the hand that sent their
bloom,
To cheer me with its sweet perfume
May balmy months from rainbow isles
Brighten her path with April smiles;
May azure viOlets in her way,
Make all her life, fair as the May
Where'er she walks. June drop her roses,
Till DER her path lifc's curtain closes.

last night Many persons were compelled
to stand up, both on the main floor and in
the gallery, over thousand people being
present. The show was bang-up. The
programme was faithfully carried out
everything moved promptly, and a more
varied and finer minstrel performance has
not been given in this city tor years. The
company is the equal of the San Franchises
or Haverly's. In number of performers,
extensive properties or wealth of talent, it
is not eclpsed anywhere.
Chief among the contemplated schemes
that would result to the benefit of our bus
ness men, is the organization Of fair asso-
citation and the holding of county fair at
this place. 1t is project that would,
when in successful operation prove to the
advantage OF, not only one class of business
men, butte the advantage of all classes, in
so far as it would offer them an opportu-
nifty Of cultivating the acquaintance OF the
farmers THE natural result Of which would
be that the farmers would be attracted to
this city and would more frequently come
here to purchase such articles as they de-
sire. On the other hand it would
prove beneficial to our farmers. 1t
would not only cause them
to vie with each other in the production of
the most valuable stock and best vegeta-
bles but would have tendency to give
them new impulse and make them gener-
ally more enterprising than they now are
Should Messrs. Fitzgerald Sproat and the
other gentlemen who have interested them
selves in this matter succeed in getting the
necessary amount Of money subscribed
(and doubtless they wild we shall in the
fall expect to see county fair in this city
that will equal that Of any-heId in South.

Many of the streets and back yards of
the city have, since the appointment of
health officer, Orr and his assistants re-
ceiyed a thorough oycrhauling-the rubbish
having been removed from them they now
present tidy appearance. The five assis.
tants who have been appointed, aud who
will serve for thirty days, are doing excel
lent service in their various localities under |
the intelligent management of Mr.. Orr and |
are giving satisfaction in all quarters There
is an immense amount of work to be done IN |

left undonc, would breed disease of
some kind, at least, if not yellow
fever. There is no good cause for belcy.
ing that the yellow fever will visit US this
year, but notwithstanding our citizens
should promptly clean up when once asked |
to do SO by the officers aud not force them
to give half dozen orders for the cleaning
up of one yard In fact they should clean
up cheerfully without being asked and as
sist them in tAeir labors by pointing out
TO them such rubbish and matter that
might escape their notice and breed disease.
In a city Of twelve thousand inhabitants,

A SECOND WEDDING RING,

Samuel Bishop (died 1795]), Master of Mer- chant Taylors' School, wrote some poems, the best of which is in praise of his wife. on the anniversary of her wedding day, which was Salso-h birthday, with ring T ...--4 "Thee, Mary, with this ring wed," So fourteen years agoI said. ,Beh old another ringl For what7 t.- 7s To wed thee OCT again?

A California Life.

The atmosphere of good luck that hangs around some men, says the Ne- vGdo Transcript, is past understanding. Take the case of Bob Morrow, the San Francisco manipulation, who owns St. Julien, the fastest horse in the world, for instance. The reporter met forty miner who used to know him. He ar- rived in Nevada City when the camp was a mere infant, so to speak. The first thing he did after getting there was to skirmish around and hunt up shovel, pick and rocker. With these he began scratching along Deer Greek for gold. By dint of perseverance, and hard work, and an exercise of "cheek," he got enough to alleviate the bangs of hunger. He stayed around here till 1859, and by that time h1s clothes were tattered and torn, and then he decided to emigrate. A number of the boys whose lines were too hard for comfort wanted to go with him, but they were "dead broke" and figure as they could no alternative pre- sented whereby they could obtain enough coin to get out of camp with. Finally, Arthur Hagadorn came to the rescue. He fitted some of them out with mule apiece, provisions and coin. They made bee line for the Oomstock.
 The next time his old townies heard from Morrow he was OF the top of the wave of prosperity that is, had got into the Savage and some other big mines at Virginia City. For several years he revelled in wealth. After en- toying his rapidly acquired wealth for g few years, it slipped away from him and he was broken once more. His will and energy did not give out when his money did, and, making little raise, he sprang boldly into the arena of the stock mar ket. Since then he has not drawn : blank in the lottery of life. As di rector of the Bank of California alone to say nothing of the other things h. dropped into through the influence o Ralston, he has position enough to sat isfy any common man.

The Irish Land Question.

In letter on the troubles in Ireland, Lord Dunraven, of England, says :- 'The land question is very different in England and Ireland, not on account of the customs of the landlords, but by reason of the peculiarities of the people. In Great Britain 8 tenant farmer looks upon farming as an ordinary business requiring certain capital, and which ought to produce certain profit, and if unable to cultivate farm at profit he gives it up. In Ireland tenants are apt to attach sentimental value to their holdings, although they may be losing money, they scramble on from year to year, hoping against hope for something to turn up, borrowing money to pay their rent, falling into the clutches of usurers, who are the curse of the coun- try, sinking hopelessly into arrears, in- volving their friends and neighbors in their downfall, houndering deeper and deeper into the mire until at last they have to leave, crippled and encumbered with numerous debts.

A Christmas Gift.

A Christmas gift has caused hus- bands arrest and wife's tears in San Francisco. The young man who was poor mechanic, had married above his station, but lived happily with his wife. In an evil hour he saw sealskin sacque hanging in front of store. Nobody was near it was after. dark and he stole it. On Christmas night he pre- sented it to his wife. She was some what surprised at this expensive gift, but thought nothing more of it. The New Year came, and the husband ad- vised his wife to pawn the sacque, tell ing her he would redeem it when she wanted it. The obedient wife did as she was bid, and visited. pawn shop and offared the saoque. The pawnbroker informed the police and man and wife were arrested. The scene at the station house was a most affecting one. The wife was true to her husband, and at first refused to believe him guilty; but the proof was so conv ncing that her faith was shaken. She fell upon his neck and wept bitterly.

Selling Plymouth Pews.

The auction of pews in Plymouth Church this year attracted a large audi ence. Every pew in the church has a fixed rental, varying from $5 to $150. The bidding was for choice of the best pews, the premiums being ehnrge in addition to the rentals. The auctioneer read the terms of sale. "Now, how much for the first choice ?" said the auction eer.
 "Four hundred dollars, said MT. H. B. Clafin.
 "Four hundred and ffty," said MT. H. w. Sage. MT. Claain got his old pew, No. 99, for $500. He paid the same sum for it in 1879 $500 in 1878, and $500 in 1877.
 Then MT. Henry w. Sage bid $500, and chose pew No. 90, for which he paid $500 in 1879, $5O5 in 1878, and for which MosesS. Beach paid $215 in 1877.- The rental of MT. Olaain's pew is $120, making it's cost to him $620. The rental of MT. Sage's pew is $110, making its cost to him $610. The next b1d wal from Receiver White, of the Grocers Bank, who got pew No. 57 for $450. He paid $4O5 for it in 1879, $25O in 1878 and $500 in 1877. MT. J. Lloyd Haigh a ustomary bidder at the sale of pews was missed from the sale. MT. J. B Hutchinson, who sings bass in the choir and gets seat free for himself, bid $40( for pew No. 100 for hisfamily. Augustus Storrs bid $4O0 for pew No. IDA. Ther the bidding went down to $500, and iron that down as low as $1n. The aggregat' of the premiums obtained was $27, ,241 which with the fixed rentals amounting to 2,743, makes the income from tho pews this year $40,023, which is $7O less than last year, and many thousandi less than the amount of the sale for an. year excepting 1878, since 1866.
