Memory.
BY JAMES A. GARFIELD.

The little poem, from the pen of our
beloved presidents was written before
his first term in congress some
twenty years. AT tisat time possibly
the president ola Christian college
was the s'sumlnt where the sunbeams
fell, but the last lines are all but
prophecy Please give the whole to
/ your readers. W. X. AzBILL.
Campbell Street Christian Church,
Louisville, KY.
IT'S beauteous night: the stars look brightly
Upon the earth, decked in her robe of snow,
3 No light CLEANS at the window save my own.
Which gives its cheer to midnight and to me.
And now, with noisless step, sweet memory
Aud leads me gently through her twilight
What poets tunesul Tyre has ever sung, s
0rsdelicate PENCIL e'er portrayed
Tnejenchanted, shadowy fand where memory
\ It has its valleys, cherries, lone, and drear,
Dark shaded by the mournful cypress-tree;
Ana yet is sunlit mounIain-tops are Dathea
ROBBED in the dreamy light of distant years,
Arc clustered Joys serene of other days
Upon ats gentls, sloping hillside bend
The weeping willows Ger the sacred dust
or dear departed ones. and yet ia that land,
Where ERE our footsteps fall upon the shore
They that were sleeping rise from out the dust
OF deaths long silent years and round us
s AS erst they did before the prison-tomb
Received their clay within its voiceless halls
The heavens that bend above that land are
With clouds of various hues. Some dark and
. n chill, g.
Snreharged with sorrow, cast their sombre
Z shade
!. UTott the sunny, joyous land below, tze
: Others are floating through the dreamy air.
White as the falling snow, their margins
tinged ASNs@
With gold and crimsoned HUGS; their shadows
fail
I Upon the fowery maads and sunny slopes,
Soft the shadow of an angels wing.
When the rough battle of the day Is done,
And evenings peace falls gently on the heart,
E j bound away across thenoisy years,
Unto the utmost verge of memory's land,
z w mere earth and sky in dreamy distance meet.
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins,
Where woke the first remembered sounds that
felf9 aTN sszrSzF #FFtEt
Is TTbon the car in child hoods early morn; h +
Isea the shadow Of my former self
Gliding from childhood up to mans estate.
The path of youth winds down through many
a vale,
Aud on the brink of many dread abyss,
From out whose darkness comes no ray OF
light,
Save taat phantom dances Ger the gulf
And beekons towards the verge. Again the
path
Leads DER the summit where the sunbeams
fall
And thus in light and shade, sunshine and
gloom, ..,<.
Sorrow and joy, this hfe-path leads along.

he ordered him to nail them on at

his walk When he returned the
boards were all planed and numbered

carefully measuring his work. When
it was finished there was no part Of the
fence as thorough in finish.
"How much DO you charge - asked
the judge.
"A dollar and half" said the man,
shouldering his tools
The Judge stared. "Why did YOU

For the job, sir
Nobody would have seen the poor

But | should have known it was

William Stoncstreet, a twclye.year.
old son of Mr.. james Stonestreet, had
narrow escape from a sudden and
terrible death Yesterday. The boy says
be was throwing base bail up against
the side of his fathers house, near
Hancock and hampton streets, when
the ball lodged in the gutter at the
top oi the house. lie Immediately
started up to get it, getting ont on the
roof through haichway. The house
has three storie, and an attic the roof
is rather steep and as the boy slowly
edged over toward the gutter he felt a
sinking at the heart. His little sister
Mary was standing in the yard eyeing
her brother and calling out 10 him
every instant 10 come down. lie
made some boastful answer and con-
tinued his dangerous journey. lie
reached the edge Of the roof. caught a
firm hold of some projecting shingles,
and leaning over seized the ball. BE.
fore he could arise from his STOPPING
position he felt the shingles to which
he was clingiug giving way with him.
He clutched them ucrvously and be.
gan to draw himself up slowly. sud.
denly the shingles gave way and in
an instant the boy seemed to be hur-
rying to instant death. The pavement
was fully thirty feet below, aud there
seemed nothing to prevent his being
dashed to pieces on the bricks just
as be was rolling over the gutter he
involuntarly seized hold of it and
clung there desperately. The gutter
was an ordinary tin affair, not very
strong; nor was il bound TO the roof
very tightly. The sudden weight of
the boy made the tin sag down.and a
few of the fasteDings gave way, leav.
ing the boy hanging down over the
abyss, with only broken, rotten piece
of tin between him and eternity,
William was now thoroughly aroused
to his danger and cried out for help.
His sister ran into the house and hap
pening TO find colored man there
told him of her brothers danger.
The man ran out and getting long
ladder which was lying in the yard
put it up against the side of the
house. The boy was now almost ex-
hausted. The perspiration was run
ming down his face in streams. His
eyes we're dilated with terror and ex.
haustion and il seemed impossible for
him to hold on until the assistance
came. The colored man ran up the
ladder nimbly. Scarcely had he
reached the top when the boy, who
could hold on no longer, dropped into
his arms. The colored man took him
down and when the boy reached the
ground he tainted. lie was taken
