Such Is Life.


Life with many is a long, and
dreary wild, with scarcely a ray of
light to guide their wandering feet.
When one is on the threshold OF
man or womanhood, life seems as
pleasant as summers day, but then
as they wander further on, and let
their thoughts fit through the past,
how few really are the pleasures they
have had? But life in most cases is
what we make it. We should not,
when just beginning the journey of
life, think it a pathway strewn with
flowers, for there are many sorrows
like thorns hidden from the human
eye, only TO be brought to light by
experience, and perhaps how sorrow
ful that experience may be gained.
There is but one Being alone that
watches when no other creature is
near, and when all is one dreary
wild, with mountains of trouble and
sorrow rising around us, and no star
of hope is shining brightly in the dis
lance for us.
Childhood is the happiest period of
life; for then all things are bright
and joyous.
Flowers bloom for all, and there is
scarcely cloud to shade for one mo-
mcnt its pleasures.
When boyhood is reached sorrow
like thorns are hidden by rose leaves.
lie thinks of his friends, and of the
many happy days they have spent un-
der childhood's happy skies.
Friends of his boyhood are the tru-
est, and they cling together like ivy
on an old church tower.
Then manhood comes, and with it
all the stern realities of life, and there
is scarcely rest ON the hurried voy-
age.
Nothing of the past is left but men,
ory, whose dim shadows visit one
like a dream, causing us to live again
those happy days.
We can hear the joyous laughter
ringing, but the echo is gone, forever
gone! gone forever! ''7 : eos
Then old age comes, and gray hairs
tell the tale of trouble OH manhood's
weary voyage; head over which
the SHOWS of many winters have fall
en-, leaving nothing but joy and sor-
row equally commingled, and his on
ly hope rests in heaven.
Death comes aud lays his icy fin
gers on his victim, hurrying him Oh to
eternity, and never for one moment
does he relax his grasp.
Death gives no time for parting
with friends of childhood, manhood
or old age.
The poor old form is laid to rest,
perhaps, in some lowly chuch-yard,
where flowers will be planted by
some loving hand, or, perhaps, twill
be laid in potter's field, with moth
ing but head-piece Of wood to mark
the unkept grave.
Friends will soon forget you, and

The Next Lady Of the White
House.

LAlbany Special to the Philadelphia Times.l
Here it is regarded as settled that
Gov. Cleveland is the next President,
and already the gossips are busy with
cOnjecturcs as to who will be the
lady of the White House. There is
well defined belief among his friends
that there is young lady in West
ern New York who will soon be led
to the altar by the President-elect.
Others who have known him long
and well say that he will never mar
ry, and that this talk simply comes of
the fact that he has shown this young
woman some slight attention since
he was elected Governor. Early in
life his hopes and ambitions for a
wife were crushed by the hand Of
death, and his affection for the lost
one has kept him treading the wine-
press of life alone. If the reports
that he is to marry are not true, then
his own immediate family will furn-
ish lady to do the social honors of
his administration.
1t is generally believed by those
who know him best that there will
be less festivities during his term of
Office than there have been for many
years past. lie has been a hard
working Governor and will probably
continue his industrious habits as
President, Bachelor as lie is, the
White House will, however, have a
creditable mistress. There are four
ladies' in his immediate family, either
of whom can well do the honors of
the household. Ills eldest sister in
in this country, Mrs. w. E IIoyt, of
Fayetteville, would fill any position
with credit. She is a middle-aged
lady, of pleasing address, who has
spent a good deal of time at the Exc
cutive Mansion here since her brotl :
er has been Governor. She has made
many friends here in the capita of
the State and will doubtless do the
same in Washington, where she will
probably go the 4th of next March.
Miss r. E. Cleveland is the maiden
sister. She still resides in the little
home cottage at Holland Patent, Just
above Utica. A good public sp' a.er,
a good conyersationalist and general
ly plain woman of intellectual force,
she would do her share in entertain
ing her brothers guests at the nation
al capital. Mr.. Cleveland has a sis
ter who for twenty years has been
a missionary at Ceylon. She has two
charming young lady daughters,
Mary and Carrie Hastings, whom
the Governor has been for years edu.
eating in this country. lie has Civ.
en- them every advantage and they
have improved them. They will nc
doubt be a part of their uncle's fami-
ly circle at Washington, as they have
been at ttimes here.
With Mrs. Hoyt, or any one of the
three other ladies spoken Of, the So
cial end Of the first Democratic ad-
ministration for quarter of GEN.
tury will be well sustained, even
should the President-elect continue q
bachelor. Nv tse
