THE LITTLESToNE SCHOOL HOUSE,

HE LlTILESTUNE SCHUOL HOUSE
BY GEO. NEWELL LovEJOY.
The little stone school house
Still stands on the green,
Where it stood in my boyhood,
When life was serene. -
And around it the sunshine
Falls just as of old;
An in days long since vanished.
The fair days of Goldl
Under its windows
The violets grow
Just as they blossomed
Long, long years ago!
And the brcwn-coated swallow
Still builds his rude nest
Under the old caves
With none to modest. e,
The robin still sings
In the oueternut tree,
Which stands near the spot
That is hallowed to mel
Children pass and repass
Through the wide open door,
As they did in the old time,
The sweet days of yore.
The grass is as green.
And the skies are as fair,
As when life before me
Lay pleasant and fair.
While the breezes so fragrant
Blow over the green,
AS they did in my boyhood,
When life was serenei
But the children who pass
Through the wide open door,
And who sport on the green,
Are not they-they of yorei
And my heart lonesome grows,
Sad tears dim my eyes,
As look on their faces,
Where happiness lies.
For I gaze and remember
Ny light heart at school.
In that little stone school house,
In the Years Beautifnll
And fain would 60 back
With schoolmates of yore,
Live over the past-but
The past comes no morel

A Policy Dealer.

Cincinnati Commercial. June IL, 1875.
Mr. Blaine's business IS likened bv th e
New York Times to that of q policy
dealer. Policy" is a supplementary
lottery business a secondary sort OF
swindling. This is pretty bard on Mr..
Blaine, but Mr.. BIaine's stock jobbing
seems to bear the same relation to the
open market that policy playing bears
to lottery dealing.
