GROWING OLD.

There comes time when we grow old.
And like a sunset down the sea
Slopes gradual, and the night wind cold
Comes Whispering sud and chIlingly:
And locks are gray
At winters day.
And eyes of saddest blue behold
The leaves all dreary drift away.
. Ana lips Of faded Coral say
1here comes time when We grow old
There comes time when joyous hearts.
Which leap as leaps the laughing main.
are dead to all save memory.
AS prisoner in his dungeon chain
And dawn OF day
hath passed away,
Ihe moon hath into darkness rolled
And by the embers wan and gray.
L hear voice in whisper say,
Ihefe Comes q time when we grow old.
There comes a time when manhood's prime
ls snrouded IN the midst Of years,
anu beauty, fading like dream.
Hath passed away in silent fear..
And then how dark,
But o, the spark
mat k1ndles youth to hues of gold
Still Durns with clear and steady raw.
Anu fond affections lingering say,
1hefe comes Il time when we grow old
there comes time when laughing spring
Anu golden summer cease 10 be;
ANA We put en- the autumn robe
To tread the last declivIty
But now the slope,
With rosy hope,
beyond the sunset we bel, al
Another dawn with iairer night
w ME watchers whisper through The night
There comes time when we grow old

A NEBRASKA LETTER.

! EDITOR may be of interest
| 10 some OF your readers to hear from me and
| those who accompany me in my wanderIngs.
On Monday, April 10Th, We left Lexington,
crossed 10 Richmond the first night. Our party
consists of Vim. Walkcnhorst, J. B. Flory, w
S. Downs and myself. A jOllIer party you will
seldom find. We came through in a spripx
| wagon, bringing horse apiece We have had
| Il continuous round of pleasant exper,ences
The weather has been Hne, except it has been
rather windy
We found the road rough and bi,lv untiI W..
struck the prairie some twe,vs or tbirt.op miI.s
northwest of Richmsnd and somo txvo mr. thros
miles northwest of Elkborn. Peonle in Raw
county along our ruad have of tho ,fne i,nnrove

| LAFAYETTE. We sto,ped at yibbard for dinner
This Is some fifteen miles from Ricb,nena. in n
very pretty prairie region We have ,wo hesu
tiful spotted monies in our crowd Attbe livery
stable a bystander asked il we were snortinr
men, with nod at our monies To humor his
wiim one of our party said we were. He at
ence proposed to send to the coup,rv ,or , r,c.
horse mr. ,wo tbat he know ot b,t vo ,.,ro cow,
to inform him that We must hasten as engage
ments were pressing. After dinner. however,
he approached the ONLY pious man we have in
the crowd who was ignorant of the nrevious
con nversation, and ut once swooped down on him
wi IN proposal for a ga,re of seven mn or euchre
us he was Informed we were sportinp men Said
he would do most any thing in that line to ac-
cOmmOdate us. The shock was almost too much
for our man, but new scenes have gradually re-
stored his former equanimity.
We passed Lawson and stopped for the night
ri Lathrop, some twenty miles our journey
from Nibbard. Lawson s Il handsome little
town, and I:lthrop is one of the most beautiful
and pleasant little towns in Missouri The
country round about is u beautiful uudulatine
prairie, rich and very well improyed
Next day we passed Plattsburg and Agency
Ford, on Platte river, reaching St. Joe late in
the afternoon, Il distance of tlirty-eight miles
from Larhrop Lawson. Latbrou and PInttsbur,,
all have splendid brick public school buiIIirps

he Is very unpopular, and hundreds of the

They don't like his free school and his mmi
grafton positions, nor his free use of thu

other grounds.
At a public meeting in Navarro county
last week, resolution endorsing Hancocl
and English, and Roberts, was voted dowr
just because of Roberts name.
Cannot we run John Hancock, of Austin
for governor? It's good name, Just now
The present programme seems to be-insi
