THE OLD scHooL.HoUse.

There is an old-time school-house
Ii stands upon hill;
It's built of yellow sandstone;
1 think see it still
Glistening in the sunlight,
Just as 1t did of yore.
When, fair-haired, barefoot Lad
entered through the door.
Its walls are square and solid,
And pointed is its roof;
Constructed for duration,
Against the storms 'tis proof:
But the good souls that planned it
Long since have passed away;
The hands SO strong that reared it
Have moldered back to clay.
All. well do 1 remember
Those days so sweet and fair;
The sun came up in beauty,
And balmy was the air;
The grass was wet with dew-drops
And bathed my naked feet;
While meadOw-lark and robin
Made melody so sweet
i Itrudged then to that school-house
With hfreshly-buttered bread
Within my dinner-basket-
BY mother hands twas spread
Her kiss was on my forehead,
anu 4 Suu tI loiBCb
Those loving eyes SO tender;
see them smiling yet.
And gathered there were playmates;
Bright boys and rosy girls;
Floating on the air again,
see those golden curls;
hear the merry laughter,
The shout and lusty call,
And join the jolly pastime.
In race, and bat, and ball.
IEear the Ginning school-bell;
Its mem'ry will not die.
The call to which listened
And quickly did comply;
Nor how we took our places,
Each i'm his chosen scat;
o, how the stiffness settled
As quiet grew our feet!
Nor those lorg hours of study:
How drowSly they passed!
Those days were each like ages,
So long they seemed to last;
But joyful was the moment
When we were all dismissed,
And round our patient teacher
We gathered to be kissed.
o days so bright and goldenl
o days of life's best Junel
Like open morning glories
Ye closed up all too soon;
With misty eyes / see you,
And beautiful ye seem
Again will ye not greet me
Beyond the mystic stream?

how near be was to friends that he

Then the hoarse whistle followed. The
gang-planks were pulled in, and before
our now thoroughly bew.ldered hero

swung out into the stream, and was
gathering herself for a swift flight down
the river.
Poor Fun stumbled past the piles of

AN IMPORTANT EROSION.


 In England there is maximum sum fixed by law above which railroads cannot charge for carrying freight. But they have made terminal charges" in addition to this sum, that is, charges for depot accommodations, loading, unloading, clerkage, etc., and so managed to live. Some senders of freight have objected to these terminal charges and the High Court of Justice has been called upon to decide the question. The decision is in favor of the railroad companies.
 The law says that the maximum rate of charges to be made by the company for the conveyance of animals and goods, including the tolls for the use of their railroads, wag- ons or trucks, and for other locomotive power, and every other expense incidental to such conveyance (except a reasonable sum for loading, unloading, covering and unload ing goods, at any terminal station of such goods, and for delivery and collection and any other services incidental to the duty or business of carrier where such services, or any of them, are or is performed by the company, shall not exceed, etc.. etc. In their interpretation of this law the judges say that "except'' means in addition to. Railroads, say they, were originally highways upon which anyone might his own loco- motives and wagons just as he would drive team over turnpike. Railroad companies might therefore have been merely toll takers, doing nothing more than collect cash for use of their road. Or they might also have con- veyed the carriages delivered to them loaded This is the service for which the judges de- clared they were entitled to charge the maxi mum. Beyond this they might act as car riers, doing all that was necessary for the transport of the goods. The added work and duty, the judges say, is fit subject for charge.
 This seems like rather queer way to get at the merits of the question, but the rail read managers have reason to be satisfied with the decision. Of course, if they can make such reasonable terminal charges" as they see fit, the attempt to regulate their freight rates by law is failure. And we are not at all sure that it ought not to be.

feet in height. The towers are placed one 1 thousand or one thousand two hundred feet apart, in the centre of the city, ,and two thou 1 sand five hundred or three thousand feet apart in the outskirts, and each carries four lights of | two thousand candle power each. The area lighted is ten and one-haf square miles, The l cost last year to the city was ninety-fve thousand dollars, and this year it will be eighty nine thousand three hundred dollars The advantages of this system are that the eye is not dazzled and confused as it is by the brilliant lights at a lower level, and that yards and courts are lighted as well as the open streets. The effect is described as like the light of full moon. The press, police and physicians, who often have occasion to be abroad at night, agree in commenting the system.
 Massachusetts has had a varied and in structive experience with laws designed to regulate the liquor traffic. The New Bed ford Mercury reviews the experience of it's city under those laws, and shows that prohi- bition never prohibited there. The friends of prohibition succeeded in carrying the cleo tion few times, and some effort was made to enforce the law. In one or two years there was apparent success, but it was gained against the greatest opposition, and with the incoming of new administration the city
 went back at once to what was practically
 free rum. In the later years, whenever the
 people have voted in favor of 'sno license,"
 and thus theoretically put the city under the
 most perfect prohibition, it has always
 turned out an utter farce. The officials who
 had been elected by the same people who had
 voted :tno 1icense'' simply ignored the law
 and in so doing ''were far nearer the true
 public sentiment than was that vote."
 Four men in police uniform appeared few
 days ago in front of private house in Vien-
 na and rang the bell. The mistress of the
 house opened the door and regarded her
 visitors with apprehension. "Don't be
 alarmed,'' the officers remarked. "We have
 discovered that there is band of bank-note
 counterfeiters in this neighborhood, and we
 have ascertained that, while you are inno-
 cent, some of those notes have been passed
 off on you. We must request you, therefore,
 to show US all the bank notes in your pos
 session." A chest containing about five
 hundred forins was shown to the officers,
 who examined them closely, pronounced
 them all counterfeit and told the lady they
 were compelled to take them along. The la dys daughter, however, having noticed some
 thing suspicious in the whispers of the ''ofi- ce-s," ran to the window and threatened to call for assistance if they did not replace the notes; at which the "officers" departed very suddenly and disappeared round the next corner
