Friends Of Long Ago.

When l sit in the twilight cleaning
And the busy streets grow still,
i dream of the wide green meadows,
And the old house on the hill.
can see the roses blooming
About the doorway low;
Again my heart gives greeting
To the frinds of long ago
Dear long agol
/ can see my mother sitting
With life's snowtlakes in her hair,
And the smiles above her knitting,
And her face is sanity fair.
And see my father reading
From the Bible on his knee,
And again hear him praying
AS he used to pray for me-
So long ago.
/ see all the dear old faces
Of the boys and girls at home,
As | saw them in the dear old days,
Before we learned to roam.
And | sing the old songs over
With the frienks used to know,
And my heart forgets its sorrows
In its dreams Of long ago @
Dear long agol
How widely our feet have wandered
From our old homes tender ties,
Some are beyond the ocean,
And some are beyond the skies.
My heart grows sad with thinking
OF the friends l used to know; IS
Perhaps l shall meet in heaven
All the loved ones of long ago
9s Dear long ago.

A Fond DelusiOn.

The romantic story that Willisn
Penn. soon after his arrival in Pniladel
phia. assembled the Indians of his new
domain beneath great elm on tht
banks of the Delaware and there enter
ed into treaty of friendship with them
which, although not bound by the sanct
ity of an oath, was never broken. ha:
gone into history. The obelisk at Beact
and Hanover streets which marks the
spot where it is claimed the famou:
covenant was made has for over half &
century been visited by the curious, who
firmly believe, as does the world in gen
eral, that there could be no doubt of the
authenticity of the story. Thompson
Westcott, thu historian of Philadelphia
however. bluntly says that the thing is a
myth, and that tie people who wander
OFF from the bicentennial parades to seek
this historic spot will be thoroughly
hnmbngged.
There is not" said Mr. Westcott, zone
shred of evidence TO bolster up this lie
about Penn's treaty of friendship. There
are no records of it anywhere, and no
reason to suppose that there ever were.
In short, it rests upon no more reasona
bic foundation than does the legend of
tie twins of Rome"
In the State records at Harrisburg
there is, however, q letter from Penn
which Mr.. Westcott thinks casts some
Light upon the origin of the story. 1t
was given 10 Lieutenant Governor
Markham Gy Penn previous to the lat
ter's first voyage, and was addressed to
the Indians, offering them peace, friend
ship and protection. There is an in =
dOrsemeDt upon this letter, stating that
Thomas Home "did read this letter to
the Indians" and as he lived in the old
mansion house near the old elm which
stood near where the monument has
since been erected, this circumstance,
Mr. Westcott thinks, 1hay have given
early currency to the Penn treaty storg,
Which has since been strengthened by
Vests great picture. Holme probably
did call the Indians together beneath the
great elm, as it was a spot likely to be
selected for the. purpose, and there read
them The letter, from Penn, but this is
all there ever was of a treaty. esf
\ relic-hunting citizen, who was told
of Mr. Westrott's contradiction of the
treaty story. yesterday said that he
didn't care what that gentleman sand ::
he had cane cut from the old elm tree.
"what are we To do?" said he. Here
they can't even find the old Blue Anchor
Tavern site, and now they want to break
up the treaty story. After while they
will tell US that there was no such man
as PENN tB
An interesting article concerning the
treaty is to appear in the next number
of the Pennsylvania Historical Maya
zine, published by the Historical Socie-
ty which will attempt to sustain the |
story; snt Mr.. Westcott says it can't be |

Judge Thurman and Senator COnk
ling.

Judge Thurman ana Senator COnk-
ling.
Here is story that has been revived
about Judge Thurman and Mr.. Conk-
ling; but it is so good that it can never
be stale. On one occasion Mr. -Gonkling
was making a speech in the Senate, dur
ing which he repeatedly turned to Judge
Thurman. As everybody knows, the
great Ohioan is a little peppery at times.
and at last he said testify to Mr.. Conk-
ling, "Does the Senator from New York
expect me to respond every time he
turns to me?" when l speak of the
law" responded Mr.. Conkling. 81 turn to
the Senator from Ohio as Mussulman
turns toward Mecca; turn to him as i
do to the common law of England-the
worlds most copious fountain of human
jurisprudence" Was there ever any
thing liner than that-more gracefully
mischievous, more artfully fiattering?
