WORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.
from the x. C. Times !

lAASAa sAAS 80 Ss AA4hCS.l
The character of the work done by the leg
islature was easily discernable in the subjects
Of the various enactments published in The
Times on the day OF adjournment.
It appeared that number Of new laws had
been prepared for the statute books, but that
the great preponderance of the acts Of the
session consisted in the amendment of old
ones. 1t is too early to speak with absolute
knowledge Of the value o. the corrections
made and omissions supplied, In the existing
statutes, but the presumption 10 in favor Of
their utility. Much crude legislation had
from time to time made its way into the vol.
umes Of the law Of the state, which often Inn
peded and sometimes defeated justice. To
amend the most vicious Of these enactments
and make them conform to the spirit and In
tent of wise legislation, was the object ef sew
erai of the ablest men in the senate aud house,
To this purpose jackson county contributed
no uncomfortable share. Her senator and
REPRESENTATIVES Gage and Ferrey were pecu-
liarly qualified for this kind of work anu the
result of their efforts is manifest even in the
titles of the bills passed.
Though the number of bills which became
laws falls slightly short Of the number passed
by other legislatures, in general importance
the legislation of the session just ended will
compare favorably with that Of its predeces.

A PROFITABLE BUSINESS.

A San Francisco millionaire, hoping to en-
courage his promising son In ways of thrift,
promised to give him two per cent. month
interest upon any money that he might save
out Of his spending allowance and deposit In
the paternal treasury. The young naaa was
getting twenty dollars . week for pocket
money, and promised to show his apprecia-
ton Of his fsther's a6ectionate offer. He be-

The old gentleman noticed presently that ths
deposits exceeded the whole Of the boys al.
lowance. but accounted for this by supposing
That he had saved some money previously.
Besides this. he received money frequently
from his mother. So the fond parent rejoiced
In the saving disposition that his son was dis
playing. This continued until the boys de.
posts assumed such dimensions as to demand
an explanation. 1t then turned out that most
Of the money he had been depositiny hsd
been borrowed. Inasmuch a. he was draw
ing interest on his deposits at two per cent. Q
month. and was paying only ten per cent;

LEOPOLD MEYER.

The death is announced Of Leopold Meyer.
the pianist, who visited this country thirty
five years ago. He had certain degree Of
execution and elegance Of touch; but that
was all. He was, however, well patronixed
by some aristocratic old ladies in Vienna, and
peror Ferdinand, whose brilliant Intelligence
was not exactly an ornament to the line Of
Hapsburgs. After Meyer, who was rather .
stoutish man, had played, the Emperor spoke
to him, and said !: t'My dear Mr.. Meyer, I

Laughing maiden, how love you,
Gay as any woodland bird,
Sparkling as the stars above you,
or your beauty all have heard.
Happy as bee in clover.
Singing not. nor being stung,
Full ofjoy and running over,
Singing 0ongs the sweetest sung.
Now you've found milk white blossom
Or the early red pncopn.
1t fs sweeter to your vision
Than a world of fowers in June
Sstn shadow ever fingers
Where your fair footsteps fall,
For your WIS. and wand-like Angers
Touch no pleasures tnat can fall,
Gathering only tiiornless roses,
Stranger TO The pangs OF love.
Reveling where 1t reposes,
Couid you be more blest Rbove9

Pensive, blushlng girl love youI

God's blue sky, that ben6s above you,

Buds must bloom If earth has blossoms.
Death lie iife-lite bitter sweet,
Let the rose leaves lie and mouIder
In the GRASS beneath your feet.
Joy and sorrow round you bower;
You have gained and you have lost
Gained Il true and faithful lover,
But your heart Is tempest tossed.
You're captive-but your master
Is your slave. Be tine rs steel,
Chains OF love are no disaster
They, lile's wounds like mugiO heRl
When the conflict hot is over,
Then the sun will brighter shine.

And its Joy shall all be thine.

Mute with wonder, wit:hing eyesf

When the blossoms hung on high,
Ainting ihet IN soft September
Golden fruit should round You lie.
Sing aloud your songs of gladness,
Tho lies roses hide thorn,

Lovely as a lake at rest,
Over which the wind bIOws lightly
Lest he should disturb Its breast.
Dusky leaves of gold now cover
Paths with dead ambitions strewp;
Only haunting memories hover
or the hopes forever flown,
Bitter grief has burned your bosom.
Graves aie green that hold your dead,
Yetlou still are brave and loving,
Lifting up tn. dropping mead;
Leading Others, faint and weary.
From The valley Ur despair
