When the Hariposa moved away from the
wharf last Saturday she stuck for moment
! in the mud. She was drawing p feet OF
water, and though the dredge has been al
work alongside the o. S. S. Co.'S. dock, yet
| they did not scoop out hand pan enough
| The delay was but momentary.
We would advise who wish to hear one o.
the most interesting of speakers, to go to
night to hear Gen. Van Buren,. The Gen
eral has = worldwide reputation as a lee
turer, and those of our people interested il
the Japanese, either as laborers, house ser
wants or as men and women, should no
miss this opportunity.

A Point for Law-Makers,
louisville Commercially

Members of the Legislature have a
duty to perform for the whole State, as
well as for their immediate constituents.
He is responsible TO all the people as a
law maker quite as much as to his neigh
bors who want special privileges. Wheth
er his responsibility is greater to the
first or to the last would seem an easy
matter to settle, but the average legisla-
tor seems to find it hard to ignore the
few people who voted for him, even if
all general legislation is left untouched
Should the members at Frankfort this
winter conclude to change the practice
of the Legislature with regard to local
bills not little firmness will be needed
to enable them 10 maintain the new de-
parturc. The represen tative with dOz-
en- letters every day and frequent dele
CATION from his county may not always
easily defend his neglect of the business
in which they are concerned, and he may
risk defeat at future elections. There
can be no doubt, however, that if the
members at any session will give out at
the beginning their intention to give mat
tiers of State importance their first atten-
ton, the result will be greater measure
OF praise of the Legislature is body
than it has ever known.
In the past it may have been claimed
that general topics of legislation were
neglected because OF the lack of concen-
tratiOn of ideas upon them in advance,
so that the deLUge of local bills has over
whelmed the members before any general
bills could be prepared. We have rea-
son to believe that there viii be no such
excuse available 1t the forthcoming ses-
SIGN. The reports OF the State officer;

is encouraging 70 us in our efforts to

Written For THg HERALD
TWO PICTURES.

Twas a stately roem where those picture.
hung,
Those pictures there side By side;
Twas stately rooa that was large and
high,
room ts,as xas long and vide.
There were other pictures, more costly far
Paintings By masters of old,
Half hidden by draperies rich and rare
In settings of yellow gold.
There were landscapes which never tired
the eve,
There were trees which the breezes stirred
There were streams whose ripple the listen
ing ear
Could almost fancy it heard.
There were quiet valleys, all nestled down
Tween mountains which lowered high;
There were cities, and plains, and birds, and
flowers,
Yes, all things 10 please the eye.
Only these two pictures were plain and small
Nor costly, nor rich, nor rare;
And many had puzzled and wondered why
Those pictures were hanging there.
One was of a rough, old implanted house
Moss-grown, and time worn, and small,
With little low windows, o'erhung with vines
Which clambered over the wall.
There was one tree shaded it; that one stood
By the window towards the West,
And within its branches so gnarled and old
A robin had built its nest.
Twas life-like picture, and after all
There was something pleased the eye,
And though you would say twas simple
thing,
Yet you could rot pass it by.
The other was by the same hand, you'd
know,
1t might be with less of skill;
Or it might have been less pleasing scene
That rugged, moss-cOvered bill.
Down Just at Its foot was running stream
And willows bent DER it low,
While just overhead in the deep blue sky
Were cloud-wreaths like drifts of snow.
And these were the pictures in rustic frames
The pictures both hanging there;
They were pretty and neat, but looked sc
poor
Beside those so rich and rare
And this was the story the rich man told,
Who'd gathered these works of art,
You'd know By the scftened tones of his
voice
That mem'ry spoke to ais heart.
"That little brown house was my boyhood',
home,
The place where nv mother dwelt;
Where often NV fair-haired brother and I
Together at evening knelt.
While our childish voices would softly blend
In earnest and silent PRAYER,
As with small hands folded and close shu
eyes,
We knelt b. our mothers chair.
There, that is the hill, just behind tn,
house,
We thought it SO grand and high;
And that is the stream where we sailed ou
boats,
Ny fair-haired brother and /.
HE drew those pictures when only boy
With all of an artists pride;
And it Was not long ere he siumbered low
There just on the green hill side,
"Those pictures were mothers when he wa
gone,
Hers till she gave them to me;
They are faithful copies of what they show
As life-like as well can be.
at as mother who hung them upon the wall
Arranged them with love and care;
She thought them the pretIiest pictures here
And SO have left them there"
