THE TWO LIGHTS.


"When Pm man !" Is tho poetry of youth
"when was young!" is the poetry of OLE
age.
"When Pm a mani" tho STRIPPING cries,
And strives tho coming years to scan,
"Ah, then shall be strong and wise,
When I'm a man."
"When was young' the old man sighs,
"Bravely the lark and linnet sung
Their carol under sunny skies,
When I was young"
"When Pm a man shall be free
To guard the right the truth uphold"
"When was young bent no knee
10 power gold"
.'rhen shall satisfy my soul
20 With yonder prize when I'In man."
'"Too late 1 found how vain tho goal
To which ran"
"When Pm man these idle toys
Aside forever shall be flung"
"There was no poison in my joys
Wheu was young"
The boys bright dream is all before,
Tho mans romance lies far behind,
Had we the present and moro,
Fate were unkind.
But, brother, toiling in the night,
Still count yourself not all unblest
If in the East there CLEANS a light,
Or in the West.

Lincoln and JeH. Davis.

The Rev. DR.. Marshal, OF Omaha,
narrates the following incident as told
to him by John Dixon, of Dixon City,

"General Winfield Scott, when a

an exceedingly modest young man,
On the morning when the mastering
In was to take place tall, gawky,
slabsided, homely young man, dressed
In suit Of homemade blue jeans,
presented himself to the two lieut..
entants as the captain Of the recruits,
and was duly sworn In. This was he
whu afterwards became the President
OF the United States-the la,nented
Lincoln. One of the lieutenants, the
modest youth, was he who fired the
first gun from Sumter, Major Anderson.
The other, and he who administered
the oath, was in after years President
of the Southern Confederacy, Jefferson

DIR. Marshal was in the book rooms
of Carter Bros, New York, where
he chanced 10 repeat these condolences
to II friend. An elderly gentleman
who was sitting near by, listening,
arose and remarked that he was happy
to be able to confirm the facts as given !
by MIR. Dixon, as he was the chaplain |
At Fort Smelling at the time, and was
fully able to corroborate each states

additional testimony; "Mr. Linclon

thrilling descriptive talent of the
return Of a pardoned convict and the

assemblage of leading citizens. Mr.
Charles johnson appears to have been

twenty years sentence, having been
convicted of arson in setting fire TO

or six years ago.. Being person Of
great political influence, however, Mr..
Johnson got himself pardoned at the
end of the first quarter of his term and
is now about to resume his place at

PERSIAN ROSES.

In AN ancient legend. Persians say
That u rose tree blooms at the gates of Day
And once in each life, be it sad and gay,
Comes the scent OF that flower from the fal
off skies,
And the heart seems lifted to Paradise,
And, oh, the day that it came to met
Tears cannot tarnisll the memory, love
OF that moment out on the summer sea
When the fragrance fell from above!
Your eyes were raised, and their tender tale
Had made me forget the refreshing gale,
Till the waves We're dashing over the rail
And the clinging arms of u ragged cloud
Had wrapped the sun in an inky shrOud.
With the timbers straining under our feet,
And our faces pale in the lishtning's
We learned for the first time life was sweet,
For we learned for the first time love was
there!
Blest was the fragrance that came on the
blast,
Bright was the moment. but swiftly past
All, far too blest, too bright, to last!
For the mighty, passionless, pitiless sea
Claimed what was dearer than life to me.
All, merciloss Memory, draw thy veil
Across tho path of that leaping wave!
Shut from my eyes the loosened sail
And lift my heart from that ocean grave |!

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Japan Clover.

a correspondent of the American
Farmer, Baltimore, Mr.. w. r. Mas.
sey, writing from Virginia In reference
to this plant, says

OF this valuable graxlng plant during
my visit to tho Misslsippi Agrlcul.

there In u very emphatic manner. No
soil 10 too poor for lespetlexa, and no
hills too steep for It to climb. The
gulleys washed In the old abandoned
cotton.aelds are being clothed by it
with blanket Of verdure, and tho
sides OF the railroad cuts arc being
covered In like manner. On the col.
lego farm Prof. Gully was excepting
fifty steers fat on Il on field that
seemed to be poverty itself. There
was nothing whatever on Il but the
lespedexa. / procured some seed from
Prof. Gully for experiment at home.
He was OF the opinion that IL would
not succeed 80 far north, and ON my
return journey was very much inter.
ested In observing how far the lcspe~
dexa had travelled northward of lie
own accord. My rout was over the
Mobile and Ohio n. II. ito Paducah,
Ky, thence TO Louisville. All along
the railroad track to Paducah, I found
the lcspedeza creeping In every cut
and over every embankment. i in-
qutred of a farmer who boarded the
train at u Kentucky station, whether
1t was spreading much In the country,
He said that 1t Is now along every
roadside leading out from tho railroad.
but he had not seen Il anywhere else.
He was anxious 10 know whether IL
was to be regarded as a friend or
enemy. From Paducah 10 Louisville
l rode In the night aud could not OBJ
serve the lespedeza, but on awakening
at the station at Louisville found IL
over old cinder piles noar tho
depot with perfect carpet Of green.
This satisfied me AZ TO its hardness.
The seed brought home with mo
was sown IN June and now (August
lsO tho plants are six inches high.

"You see that house, stranger, brown and low,
That stands way back from the road there, 50?
Well that's where they liyed-my Daisy and 10;
then, just ahead Of you, on the right,
Where those daisies are growing, SO thick and
white
That's where it happened, one summer night,
Almost year ago.
swell, stranger, 10 was my wife, you see;
Too pale and delieate-like for me-
So big and burly, rough and red
But she loved me more'n life, she said
And along in Ihe latter part Of May,
Six years ago this very day,
A little gal came to our house TO stay.
She came when the daisies began to blow,
When the fields all round were white as snow,
And so we called her Daisy Brett;
But she was fairer and sweeter, our pet,
Than any flower that's blossomed yet.
81 was running freight train then,
And I'd chance to go by ten
Or, maybe, dozen times day,
And Daisy would always leave her play.
And run TO the road past We few,
callin out lovingly, Papa, how do.do.'
zone lovely morning, about like this,
After Id given them each kiss,
I walked TO the station, two miles away,
And made up my train, lght-hearted and gay;
But every hour, as ! went by,
missed my darlings childish cry,
And looked in vain for the curly head,
And the dear little face with cheeks so red.
Twas the longest day ever had known,
And when the six o'clock whistle had blown,
quickened speed for my last down run,
Anxious for home and my little one.
ssFast, and fast and faster we flew,
All the way was down grade, too;
On aud on, for twas growing dark,
Almost home, when suddenly-hark
A familiar voice made my heart stand still,
And the very blood in my veins grew chill,
For there, just ahead OF me, on the track,
At the foot OF the hill, my little enc sat,
With daisies in apron, hands and hat
"' Papa papa how do-do
See all ce daisies picked for col"
Gear and sweet on the evening air,
For moment her voice rang out, then-there-
just let me set down moment, until
1his deathly sickness passes away,
And can tell yoa how she lay
When we found her See, this way.
SWELL stranger. we buried her over there,
Where the daisies are largest, whitest and rare,
And il was only few short weeks at best,
Ere my 10 was laid beside her at rest;
And now in every daisy see
My little girls face looks up at me,
And, somehow, 1t all comes back again,
And my heart grows faint and sick with pain.
$50, stranger, forgive me tear or two,
And don't mind my telling this story to yoa,
But, somehow, the sight OF your two little girls
Brought back to mind those golden curls
Lying under the daisies there so low;
An there's the whistle; must co.

talking about discrimination in
freight rates! Don't this come with
bad grace from the man who is a
large stakeholder in the Standard
Oil Company which has gotten rich
by just such means? And isn't be
the owner, practically, of the rail
road from Clarksburg to Buckhan-
non, which is constantly fleeing the
people along its line by charging
them D cents mile for travelling
over It'll And in order to do this
dosen't he even go so far as to di.
vide that little road into two parts
anc give it two names in order that
1T may evade the law which Drohib-
Its railroads over fifty miles long
from charging the rates now charg
ed by that Camden railroad 7 When
johnson n. Camden abandons the
Standard Oil gang and complies
with the law in the matter of the
Clarksburg, Weston & Buckhannon
railroad then You might make the
average West Virginian believe it
is possible for him to be honest in
this matter of freight discrimination.
