ny CONFESSION

BY THE LATE D. W. LYLEs, OF DANvILLE, VA
l have been to the funeral Of all my hopes
And entombed them one by one
Not tear was shed-~Iiot word was said
When the mournfui task was done.
Slowly and sadly turned me round
And sought my silent room.
And then alone, by the cold hearthstone,
wood the midnight gloom.
And AZ the night wings frowsy shade
Lowing above my brow,
I wept over days when manhood's rays
Were brighter far than now.
The dying embera On the hearth
Gave out their fiickerlng light,
As II to say, this Is the way
Thy life shall close In night,
/ wept aloud In anguish sore,
Der the blight OF prospects fair 4,
While demons laughed, and eager quatfed
My tears like nectar rare,
Through hell's red hall an echo rang
An echo loud and long
As IN the bowl plunged my soul,
In the might of madness strong;
And there, within that sparkling glass,
knew the cause to lie-
This all men own from zone to zone,
Yet millions drink and die.

Monday when the first uaned gentle

the line Of defense adopted by Wat.

Then | told him THAT l fully beloved

Now, the point Of inquiry was
whether 100000 acres Of the land
which had been bought for twelve and
a half cents an acre was net worth-
the greater part Of ii IT'S cents al

State law requires to be sold at that

after dropping corn all day with a man be
hind us chopping our heels with hoe, we
received silver quarter at night and the
man who chopped our heels was satisfied
with fifty cents.
OF all the men who were engaged in bus
mess pursuits in Woodstown when we first
came here we can call to mind but one
whom an old resident returning to-day
after twenty-five years absence would
find in the same occupation and location as
when he went away, and of all the popula-
ton at that time, perhaps his ten fingers
would suffice to count the number whom he
would find occupying the same dwelling as
before. And yet as we write it seems but
yesterday that We saw the town and the
people just as we have been describing
them. No! it was a quarter of century
ago! Truly our days fly swifter than a
weaver's shuttle! And one by one those
who took part in the affairs of that time
are passing away. But we must not stop to
moralize however fruitful the theme We
started with the object Of presenting to the
eyes of our younger readers our pleasant
Woodstown as it appeared to us in lang
syne, and we cannot but think that the
recital may recall to many of our older
readers as WELL a pleasant memory of days
and scenes gone by, aud their better recol-
lections may serve to fill out more amply
the outline we have thus rudely sketched.
And now gentle reader, farewell.

A business trip to Swedesb oro last Satur-
day, allowed us leisure between trains for
a little cruise around the town to notice re-
cent Improvements and chat with old
friends. Under the guidance of Henry
Shivler, one of the vestrymen, we visited
the Episcopal Church. whichis undergoing
a renovating process at the hands of VIII
liam Geiger, of Mullica Hill. The outside
woodwork has all been painted and the in
side of the church handsomely ornamented
and painted and the pews and doors grain

church edifice, which will be celebrated
with appropriate services next week, Oct.

gramme i'll another column. The church
organization is 20 or so years older than
the building. We ventured up into the
belfry of the church from which delight

Mr.. Shivler also showed us his green
house, well filled with flowers of every
kind and treated us to ripe bananas

We found Benz. L. Tyler, Jr., busy at
his workbench at his pleasant and we'll
