ABOUT FIVE YOUNG MEN.

In the darkest year of the war five
young men were sworn in as newly elect
ed Representatives in the Thirty eighth
Congress. James A. Garfield was thir-
ty-two years Of age, and born in Cuya-
hoga county, Ohio; James G.. Blaine
was thirty-three, and born in Pcnnsyl-
vania William b. Allison was thirty
four, and born in Perry, Ohio; James
+. Wilson was thirty-fve, and born in
Newark, Ohio ; and William Window
was thirty-six. and born in Belmont,
Ohio. Mr.. Window alone had served
before all the others then entered
Congress for the first time. Four were
born in Ohio, though the five then rep
resented four different States. They
came to know each other well. The
fierce struggle of civil war, the glories
Of victory, the anxieties and doubts OF
reconstruction, they shared together
To-day the younges; Of the five is Presi-
dent. The next in years, his former
Speaker, becomes his Secretary Of State.
The oldest in years and service becomes
his Secretary Of the Treasury, because
the third in years declined. And the
fifth member Of this group, Mr.. Wilson,
Of, Iowa, will probably take the seat in
the Senate vacated by Iowa's War-Gov-
ernor Kirkwood, who becomes Presi-
dent Garfeld's Secretary Of the Interior.
With two in the Senate, two in the
Cabinet, and one in the White House
the little party of five young men Of
1868 will have some part In the Govern
ment.-Nrw York PnbHf.

longing to IA countryman baked in River

twisting his tail and putting dirt into

tice the treatment Of the operators, even
with kick. They were about to build
a fire under him when saloon keeper
in the neighborhood offered to bet S.
that he could make him "gct," and
there being no takers concluded to do
il just for the sake of showing his knowl-
edge of mules. Hetooi from his pock-
ct flask Of River street "tangle. foot"
and poured little in the passive mules
mouth. In a second afterward there
was blank astonishment in every feature
of that animals countenance, and the
next instant bumped himself and shot
down the street as if with the intent Of
eclipsing st. Julien's record. The owner
watched him for a moment, and then
turning to the bottle.holder said: "Mis-

THE FLIGHT OF TIME.
BY BESSIE ALLEN.

All things, great and small, have an
end. Time waits for no man, but rush.
es onward like stream to eternity
The New Year comes, bringing with it
hopes, fears, joys and sometimes sorrows.
We hail il with delight, make new res
olutions and expect this New Year to
bring us many joys. Spring comes, the
trees and flowers bud and blossom, the
fields are clothed in verdure and all na-
ture seems to rejoice. Gradually the
scene changes, blossoms become fruits,
the fields are rich in waving grain,
mountain and valley are beautifully
decked with wild flowers, even the ami
mails express their delight and are play
full. Then comes Autumn, the most
beautiful season. The trees are clad in
brightest hues, the days are gloriously
warm and bright, the nuts ripen and
fall as the wind whistles through the
branches. But chill November comes,
bringing bowling winds and 'melan-
cholly days the saddest of the
year" The year is now far advanced.
Only one more month remains and that
soon passes and the Old Year dies and
another New Year takes its place and
the old is soon forgotten.
Thus is life. Old friends are forgot
ten and laid aside to give place to new
ones. Our highest hopes and ambitions
Of one year are changed the next and
even il we reach the goal our greatest
glory and ambition fade before grim
Death and sink into nothingness. And
so is our life. We are born so die
Life is short, but oh, what changes it
has Joy and sorrow are commingled
and our tears and smiles are blending
together, till at last comes the end,
when our dead hopes are buried with
us, and We await the great resurrection,
which will bring new hopes and aSpira-
tions, when time shall be no more.

A MILLIoNAIRE's RAILWAY MODEL

A Lebanon, Pa, correspondent Of the
New York SIN says: "Few of the visi-
tors to the great Cornwall iron estate,
in this county, receive invitation to in
spect the work room Of the young mil
lionaire, Robert Coleman. Mr.. Cole
man destroyed palace half built when
his young bride died, year ago, and
her embalmed body was brought from
Paris to be entombed in a mausoleum
here, in the shape Of an Episcopal cathe-
dral, that cost quarter of a million.
"Since the death Of the young bride
the grief-stricken widower has paid much
attention to machinery and engineering.
He had building erected containing a
single large room, with high ceiling and
frescoed walls. A circular roadway,
with double line Of steel tracks, ex-
tends around the room. Patent safety
switches, electric crossing signals, safety
frogs and the latest methods of fasten-
ing are in use on this playhouse railway.
"The total length Of track is about so
feet, double track and two sidings. At
one END is n roundhouse, with turntables
that operate automatically. Three min
iature engines are employed. Every
piece of mechanism, every rod, bolt,
screw, lever, spring, tire, cock and pipe
and pump are on these locomotives.
"rhe boiler pockets, rods and drivers
are nickle plated, and some Of the bright
work is silver plated. The cabs are of
solid walnut, and the boilers proper and
the fire boxes are of wrought steel. The
tenders are of copper, and their water
supply is taken by scoops from vats on
the roadway while the locomotives are
in motion.
"rhc locomotives are about four feet
in length, including the tender, and are
models of beauty. They are of English
design, SO far as high driving wheels are
concerned, otherwise they are advanced
American mechanical ideas and have
many original appliances Of Mr.. Cole
mans invention.
"rhe locomotives are fired up and
set in motion. Around the tracks they
go, while the millionaire owner watches
the movements of the machinery
Hours are thus passed, all sorts Of ex-
periments are tried, high speed and low
speed are compared to determine the
comparative effect Of friction.
"To develop his railway ideas, Mr..
Coleman has determined to build and
equip road extending from the Corn
wall estate to the Pennsylvania Railroad,
distance Of about twenty miles. In
all probability this road for tssize, will
be one of the best equipped in the coun-
try. II will carry the iron ore for the
Cornwall furnaces to market over a
shorter route than is now in usc."

THE AMATEUR FARMER.

I dreamt Of beautiful time
When the world shall happy be!
When the elephants and hyenas
Shall blossom on every tree;
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar,
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the garden for ever more.
dreamt Of q great republic
When the people shall all 90 West,
Sow plnms and reap tomatoes
IN the land they love the best;
When pig iron aud molasses
Shall bloom on every hill,
And chickens low In the barnyard,
While gooseberTies toll nj the mill.
I'm weary Of scaing the cabbage
Handle the rake and the hoe;
I'm weary Of Watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush 10 grow;
io9g for the time when spinach
&dsN cope with bread and milk:
whea ssns shall lay posatoes,
md horses spin raw silk.
oh sweet were the vanished hours
When I wandered down the glen,
And vreathed my brow with tomatoes,
Or plucked the ripened hen;
When the donkey twined up the trellis,
And the cucumber chirped In the grass I:
And the sweet potato whfstied
To 10 mate In tho mountain pass.
But gene are the days Of childhood,
And manhood's dreams are mine:
Yet long for the by-gone hours,
As l cit meath this Turkish vine.

RIGHTS OF LANDOWNERS TO THE
ROAD.

We have before alluded to the law
upon this subject, and will add the fol-
lowing, from Judge Benefits law. II
farm deed is bounded by, on, or upon,
road, it usually extends to the middle
Of the roadway. There few excep-
tional cases but ordinarily the farmer
owns the soil of half the road, and may
Use the grass, trees, stones, gravel, sand
or anything Of value to him, either on
the land or beneath the surface, subject
only to the superior rights of the public
to travel over the road, and that Of the
highway surveyor or other similar officer
to use such materials for the repair of
the road and these materials he may
cart away and use elsewhere on the road,
yet he has no right to use them for his
own private purposes. No other man
has right to feed his cattle there, or
cut the grass or trees much less to de-
posit his wood, old carts. wagons or
other things thereon. The owner of a
drove of cattle which stops to feed in
front Of your land, or of drove Of pigs
which root up the soil, is responsible to
you at law as much as if they did the
same things inside the fence. No one
has 4 legal right to pick up the apples
under your trees, although the same
stand wholly outside the fence. No
traveller can hitch his horse to your trees
in the sidewalk without being liable il
re gnaws the bark or otherwise Injuries
them. You may unite the horse and
remove him to some safe place. Ifyour
well stands partly on your land and
partly outside the fence, no neighbor
can use it, except by your permission.
No man has right to stand in front Of
your land and whittle or deface your
fence, throw stohes'a, yerr dog, or in
suit you with abusive language without
being liable to you for trespassing on
your land. He has a right to pass in
an orderly and becoming manner-a
right to use the road but not to abuse it.
A FOOLISH EDITOR FooLED.-Once
upon time an editor of country news
paper published an advertisement for 4
city clothing house, after being COM
pclled to stand considerable reduction
from his established price. After the
advertisement had been in the paper
for some time, this newspaper man re-
ceived letter from the advertisers con-
tanning an eight inch reading notice Of
their business which they asked him to
insert free Of charge, saying as they had
an advertisement in his paper il would
be no more than fair that he should do
il. The notice was published without
more ado. In the course Of time this
poor, foolish editor was in need Of
goods in which this firm dealt accord
ingly he sent them an order covering
the amount Of his bill. He also said
Gas have bought bill of goods from
you would like you to send me silk
hat, free. II would be no more than
fair" Do You believe it, the firm
wouldn't do it, and actually made game
of him for asking such thing. "Strange
what difference there should be twixt
tweedledum and twecdledee."

The New York Herald has opened
war upon President Garfield in a very
vigorous style. Here is a specimen
brick:
We have supposed that the pres
idsnt was elected by the whole people
those who voted against him taking
part and having q legitimate interest
in the result just as much as those
who voted for him. We have sup
posed that the president Is the chief
executive ofthe whole country, and
that be is chosen, as his oath Of ONCE
requires. to faithfully execute the
Office Of president Of the United
States, not OF ms party only. II ons
should formulate az Official oath from
the acts OF President Garfield during
his brief enjoyment Of the White
House. il would read. Il do solemnly
swear that / viii divide the Offices

among my friends, and according to
my own notions among the factions
Of my own party. and that | viii Incl.

ness as the prop~r division OF the
spOils may leave me time for.
And we viii incidentally remark
that such talk as this, if uttered south
Of the Potomac, is disloyal.

BY reference to section 81 Of the
lately enacted assessment law, it will
be seen that the taxes for Hand
county Tor the years of 1880 and 1881,
will all be due and collectable by the
first of August Of this year. This will
necessitate the payment Of taxes for
two years during this year, and unless
the attention of the people Is espec-
tally called to it, il will cause much in
convenience and hardship on account
Of their being unprepared to meet this
double payment.
Section 50 says. Be it further en-
acted that every taxpayer shall pay his
state, county, railroad, municipal and
all his other property and poll taxes, to
said county trustee; aud said taxes
shall be due and payable on the first
Monday in July, except for the year
1881, and for this year they shall be
due the first of August; provided that
this section shall not apply to those
municipal corporations that under. the
existing law have their own tax col
