Veteran and Cripple.

A Washington letter to the Cleveland
Leader describes the following incident;
A slender, white-whlskered, brave
eyed man sat near the fare-boxin the up
per end of an F street car this after
noon. He wore high white Derby hat
upon his head and his clothes were Of
black broadcloth. A high Henry Clay
collar grasped his neck and pair Of
black-rimmed spectacles hung by a string
upon his vest. He was chatting to a
lady at his side and his black eyes
sparkled and most winning smile
beamed over his weather beaten face as
the conversation went on. The car
stopped and was surprised to see him
jump to his feet and walk rapidly to the
door. As my eyes followed him they
rested upon a little fair-faced hunchback
on crutches who was trying to get into
the car. She had the face of child
and the body of q mature woman, bu
that body contorted and twisted and
dwarfed out of all human proportion.

a bend in the river, and the thick forest
shut out the craft from our vision. 1t
wasn't two minutes after we lost sight
of the schooner before three canoes,
each holding five natives, dashed out at
us from the mouth of a creek. The
black fellows made no noise, but pad
died full at u.s. This put us in a fix, YOU
understand. There had been no hostil

upon them, though, on the other hand,
we couldn't understand why they were

of the society. OF course the business
and social meetings of the society are
held privately. Once month or once
in two weeks would be often enough for
public meetings here. Short programs
with one interesting paper and plenty
music at each meeting would do much
toward entertaining and bringing out the
literary and musical talent among our
people. Our citizens are not aware of
the talent that is among US. Our young
people want an opportunity to exhibit
and cultivate their talents. We know of
no better stimulus than public literary
meetings properly conducted. When
will we have the first public meeting?

Hus RUNS THE WORLD AWAY.

Like snowy lilies feet as fine,
Whose fragrant course is run,
Like dew drops on the eglantine,
Like frost-work in the sun:
So vanish youths delightful dreams,
30 beauty's charms decay;
like blossoms strewn on sparkling streams
Thus runs the world away.
Like foam upon the pillows bri hit,
Like sunsets gorgeous dyes,
Like moonbeams shedding silver light,
Over the jeweled skies;
So swiftly from our vision glide
Hopes, plans and projects gay,
Alone we roam at eventide;
Thus runs the world away.
OF friends whom ruthless time destroys,
We're, day by day, bereft;
The spectres Of our persisted joys,
Are all the comrades left.
Loves chain is broken link by link,
We sing the mournful lay,
Forlorn upon life's river brink;
Thus runs the world away.
