POEM WRITTEN BY JAMES A GARFIELD.
The little poem given below was written, it il
stated, by James A. Garfield before his first tern
in Congress-hence some twenty years ago. A
that time possibly the president of a Christian
college was the summit where the sunbeam
fell, but the last lines are all but prophecy.
TITS beauteous night; the stars look brightly
down
Upon the earth. dccked in her robe of snow.
No light CLEANS at the window, save my own,
Which gives its cheer to midnight and to me-
And now, with noiseless step, sweet memory
And leads me gently through her twilight realms
What poets tunoful Tyre has ever sung,
Or delicate pen e'er portrayed.
The enchanted. shadowy land where memory
It has its valleys. cherries. lone and drear,
Dark-shaded by the mournful cypress tree;
And yet 1t Sunt mountain tops are bathed
In Heaven S own blue. Upon its craggy cliffs,
ROBBED in the dreamy light of distant years,
Are clustered joys serene of other days.
Upon its gentle sloping hillsides bend
The weeping willows Ger the sacred dust
" %, dear departed ones; and yet in that land.
Mhere'er our footsteps fail upon the Shore
They that were sleeping rise from out the dust
VI deaths long, silent years, and round us
AS erst they did before the prison tomb
Received their clay within its yoiccess halls.
The heavens that bend above that land are hung
With clouds of various hues. Some dark and
Surcharged with sorrow, cast with sombre shade
Upon the sunny, joyous land below.
Others are floating through the dreamy air.
White as the falling snow, their margins tinged
With gold and crimsoned hues; their shadows fall
Upon the tiOwery meads and sunny slopes
Soft as the shadow of an angels wing.
When the rough battle of the day is done
And evenings peace falls gently on the heart.
bound away across the noisy years.
Unto the utmost verge of menory's land.
Where earth and sky in dreamy distance meet
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins.
Where woke the first remembered sounds that fell
Upon the ear in childhOods early morn;
And, wandering thence along the rolling years
/ see the shadow of my former self
Gliding from childhood up to mans estate
The path of youth winds down through many q
vale,
And on the brink of many a dread abyss.
From out whose darkness comes no raw of light
Save that phantom dances o Ter the gulf
Leads DER the summit where the sunbeams fall:
And thus in light and shade, sunshine and gloom.
Sorrow and joy. the life-path leads along.

Renaissance Of Garfield and Arthur.

A gentleman writing to THE STAR Immediate

state state, and nc by the usually travelled road one
through the corner of Vermont by way Of NortS
pownal; into the state of Massachusetts. In In
1871, Chester A. Arthur, fresh from Union
College, came to North Pownal and for one
summer taught the village school. Abont two
years later James A. Garfield, then young stu
in order to obtain the necessary means to defray
his expenses while pursuing his studies came
also to North Pownal, and established writing
school In the same room formerly occupied by
Mr.. Arthur, and taught classes in penmanship
during the long winter evenings. thus from a
common starting point in early life. after the
lapse of more than a quarter of a century, after
years of manly toll, these distinguished men are
by the action of the Chicago convention brought
into close relationship before the nation, and
before the civilized worid.n

Gen. Garfleld's Wonderful Eloouence.

When the streets of New York were filled With

Tramps are at times quite too bold

for instance, the other day one went

which she was too frightened to refuse.
Last evening, however, n of the gen.
try struck the wrong place. A big,
rough fellow went into Mrs. Scott's
house, on the mesa, all the folks having
gone to church, except Mrs. Hardy and
the children. lie sat down at the table,
pulled some OF the dishes towards him,
and ordered Mrs. Hardy to get him
some supper. She told him TO get out
of the house, but all arguments were of
no avail. lie had come for grub, and
have it he would. Then she got a re-
volvcr, raised the hamm er, pointed it
at his head, and told him to go. He
was intensely surprised, and left in u
hurry.

WASHINGTON n

The resolution OF inquiry into the
New York custom house appointments
which the senate adopted on Monday,
on motion of Conkling, is understood
TO be his parting shot at President
Hayes so-called civil service policy,
and some very curious developments
are predicted.
The senate committee on education
and labor to-day agreed to recommend
the passage of Teller's bill, authorizing
the state Of Colorado to select, under
the agricultural college act, 90,00O
acres from any surveyed public lands
In said state, not double minimum
priced land, or a proportionate amount
of double minimum land, provided,
that in no Ease shall mineral lands be
selected.
The secretary Of the interior has re-
versed the recent decision of the COM
missioner of the general land Office re-
specting the Pueblo lands of the Mon
terry commissioners. Williams decided
that the northern boundary of the
grant was at the great bend of the
river, three miles south of the line now
established by Sec. Schurz, who holds
that on tract number three of the city
lands, properly included within the oil
cial survey on the tract, are situated
the wharves and warehouses of the
Pacific coast steamship company, who
claim a title from the city, which is
now confirmed.
