of Mr.. Florus B. Plimpton, for many years an
editorial writer on the Cincinnati Commercial
aud one of the best known newspaper men in
the West. He was a man of fine literary feel
ing and capacity. and was, beside a brilliant
editorial writer. poet of no mean order In
the December number of The Present, monthly
published in Cincinnati. there appeared the fol-
lowing, which were among the last bits of verse
that came from his pen:
"BEREAvED.
HE walks the earth with downcast eyes
In which are sorrow and the pain
That softens in hearteasing rain.
Tho tumult Of the busy world,
Its noisy strife and toll. he hears;
1t falls upon unheeding ears.
"For what to him greed and gain
Who, mourning like the woodland dove,
Broods Ger the vacant nest of lovea"
Mr.. Plimpton had many personal friends in
this city and State, who will feel his death as
almost o personal bereavement.

No one knew old Cadison's age

certainly very old though still a pow

pot in the sugar camp, but a frost
mess, like the mildew on a black
GARNET, had settled down upon his
head. He had great, pear-shaped
nose, an enormous mouth and teeth,
which, cleaning in the twilight of
his sombre countenance, looked like
small tombstones. The old man
earned his living by making shuck
collars and bottoming" chairs.
When every one else exclaimed loud
ly against hard times, Cadison
thanked the Lord that the times
were no worse when every one else
bitterly complained of bad weather,
Cadlson was thankful that the
weather had been so good during
the season.
