Those were pleasant days in johnson,
When we. dear friends. were young;
When happy years rolled glibly by
Like lessons from our tongue;
When life was bright with hope and faith,
And looked so easy, too;
When sorrows touch was lightly felt,
When all the world was new.
When we could keep the study hours,
And still find room for fun:
Could sit up till the midnight hour,
And get up with the sun;
Could have our lessons perfectly,
And as a scholar shine;
Could slip out slyly for a lark
And ring the bell for nine.
Could dress up broom-sticks to receive
Some other dear girls beau
And kindly follow them up stairs
To his disgust, | know!
And if he CHANGED to stay too late,
We'd bring plate of beans
And offer them a lunch, (the rest
Giggling behind the scenes.
To sugar parties how we went
Early on Saturday morn;
And chOIr-meetingS. until the choir
OFT wished we'd meier been born.
Ana SoGlables came thick and fast
ANA those remarkable leYeeS
When we dressed up in all our best
And went i'll drOveS and bevieS!
But life looks very different
Since graduation day;
WIN years our work accumulateS
ANA we've less time for play
What have they brought? the passing wears
While gathering times moss?
Let's take account of mental stock
Our profits and our loss.
To loss, set down our lightsome youth,
Our fearleSSneSS of ill,
Our buOyant spirits, grOundleSS hopes
And ignorant goodwill;
The plans we confidently made
To reconstruct the earth,
(Ihose ideas seem so foolish now,
Really cause for mirth).
And many and MANY friend we've missed
From life'S upward road;
bereavement, sorrow, pain and woe
Have left us each a load
OF grief to bear, the while to work
And labor for the best,
But always hoping that the morrow
VIII bring time for rest.
What have we gained? Have years not proved
That wisdom taught in schools
Is nothing to experience
For SageS as for fools.
We've gained-not health; that should be
placed
Upon the list of losses.
But cheerfulneSS, perhaps, under
Lies heavy crosses.
And patience, tenderness and faith
Have Strenthened with our years:
Courage and energy and heart
To combat all our fears;
And deeper hopes of usefulness
Though on a smaller scale,
Believing God is over all
And will not let us fail.
We've gained in age. experience
In love, in hopeful striving,
In faith to see Gods tenderness
Mistaken effort striving;
In years which hasten on the end
Which soon or late must come,
Bringing eternal Reunion
Around the great White Throne.

week by the "dstemper." This is the
third of his Black Hawk blood that he
has lost within a few years. The first
being the stallion killed at st. Adams.

mare, which got mired in a bog-hole and
there died, on which he would not place
any price, and the one of last week. the
value of which was not less than $500.
He has lost many other horses and colts,

aging to ordinary men.

The seventh and annual meeting OF
the Smalley Reunion Society," was
held at the residence of G. S. McLaren,
in Johnson, June Goth. The day was as
perfect as days in June alone can be,
when Heaven tries if the earth be in
tune. and over it softly her warm ear
lays" The guests arrived early and in
the best of spirits, which were manifest
| throughout the day, except when the
! thought of absent members, who re-
manned at home through illness and with
! the cares of business, would intrude it
self. The meeting was called to order
by the secretary in absence of the presi-
dent and vice-president. The following
officers were appointed for the ensuing
year: for president, Henry Prior; vice
president, Mrs. E. A. Smalley; chaplain,
I. j. Newton; treasurer, Miss Eta
Smalley; secretary, Miss Aggie McLaren.
The presentation of gifts was accom-
panied by an appropriate little address
by L. O. Andrus, which was heartily
responded to. The gifts were beautiful
and useful articles; numerous in num-
Der, excellent as to quality and including
a generous quantity of the needful,
which was partially contributed by alb
sent members. The motion was made
and seconded that = members OF this
society shall have the privilege of in
viting to the gatherings the more distant
relatives of the family, also their init
mate friends" The same received a
unanimous vote. Mr.. and Mrs. S. G..
Hill OF Johnson, were present as invited
guests. Some very appropriate remarks
were made by Nh. Hill in regard to such
gatherings and his pleasure at being
present. a recitation was rendered by
Miss Alice McLaren and was received
with great applause; when the meeting
adjourned pursuant to the call of the
president. Dinner was served at one,
with tea and coffee and such goodies y
as the gentlemen of the party declare
only the ladies of this society know how
to prepare. Some rare and beautiful
flowers, presented by Mrs. Wheeler of
Johnson and Mrs. Warren of Hyde Park,
added much to the attractiveness of the
tables. After dinner the young people
of the party went for drive and had d
" lovely" time; returning in season to
find the older members preparing to
depart and talking enthusiastically of Il
year from now when we all hope to meet
again. SECRETARY.

Benjamin Scott of Eden Mills was
while on his way home Tuesday. He
was getting off the cars to take a train
for Rutland when three young fellows
jostled him and took five $50 gold coins
which were tied up in a stocking in his
hip pocket. He had a valise in each
hand, newspaper in his mouth, and
before he could move his hands or
speak the robbers got away. The men
had tickets for Rutland, and it is be-
lieved that they were professionals on
their way to that village. Ben says not
withstanding he lost his money he gave
the thieves an awful scare.

THE POST OFFICE ROBBERY.

The Attorney General having de-
clined to prosecute l. B. Peterson for
embezzling public funds, that self-con-
fessed defaulter has been set at large,
unwhipt Of justice. The finish to the
Post Office robbery case is not a sur
prise to those people who have watched
the proceedings on the part of the
Crown from the beginning. 1t is not
too much TO say that the action of the
Government, from the preliminary in
vestigation into the alleged robbery OF
the Post Office safe to the discharge Of
the real culprit without trial, appeared
to be consistent with the theory that a
conviction was not desired. If it had
been honestly sought for, it could have
been secured.
The mere discharge OF Peterson with
out trial is not Of so much importance,
however, so far as the individual is CON
cerned, as it is in its influence upon the
community. 1t is a direct incentive to
crime, and an encouragement to public
officers to defraud the Government. We do
not care to inquire what may lie behind
this case to suggest leniency to Peterson.
1t is the fact of his self-cOnfessed offense
that we have to deal with, and the nee
essarily bad and demoraIizing effect his
discharge without trial must have on the
public service. This wretched man may
be in delicate health, but justice takes
no heed Of that Mercy might have
been extended to him upon this
ground after justice mad been indicated
by his conviction; but to set him free,
without even the form of a trial, is to
outrage justice and place premium upon
crime. The Government were pledged
to his prosecution during the trial of his
alleged accomplice Walker, and it would
be interesting to the public to know
what induced the new Administration
to recede from that position and con-
done the embezzlement of public money.
Doubtless Peterson is to be pitied but
the exhibition Of pity is not one Of the
Of the Attorney General Of the
Kingdom.

REGISTRAR OF CoNvEYAHCEs.

our By Authority column contains
an announcement Of the appointment
Of the Hon Junius Kaae 10 be Registrar
Of Conveyances. This Is the most i'm
portant position oi trust in the gift OF
the Government, and only the best
available man should have been ap-
pointed. It is not a political Office in
any sense whatever, but its incumbent
has to do with the property interests Of
the country in a direct and confidential
manner Through neglect, inattention,
ignorance or corruption, incalculable in
jury and wrong may be inflicted by the
head Of this department. Hence the
necessity for choosing the best available
person to fill this office The Ministry,
after taking d long time to consider, and
having had the unanimous expression
Of the Press upon the subject, have ap-
proved the appointment Of Dir. Kaae to
this important office Ministers are
therefore responsible for the conse-
quence5 Of this appointment, although
it is made by the King. The Constitu-
ton fixes the responsibility UPON
them. The public only know Min
listers in this matter. 1t may
be that they are correct in their
estimate Of Mr.. Kaae's character and
qualifications, and that the entire news
paper Press and property owners are
wrong. If 50, the appointment Of Mr..
Kaae will rebound to their credit; but if
it should turn out otherwise they will
have difficulty in excusing themselves to
the community. We hope for the best.
1t will be a source Of satisfaction to
know that the new Registrar oi Con-
veyances is conducting his department
in manner to inspire confidence. He
starts under serious distrust, however,
and it will be triumph on his part if he
OvercOmes it.
