THE INDIAN TRAIL.

In days long gone: where rocky cliffs
Rise high above the rivers vale,
There was a path of doubts and ifs
We called it then the Indian Trail.
In ragged line, from top TO base,
f. Ger shelving crag and slippery shade,
By brush and brier and jumping place,
Wound up and down the Indian Trail.
No girl, though nimble as fawn.
No small boy. cautious as snail.
No COW, no dog, no man of Drawn,
Could safely tread that Indian Trail.
Beyond the age of childish toy,
Before the age Of gun and sail,
The fearless and elastic boy
Alone could use the Indian Trail.
Twas like great commencement day,
Like change from little fish to whale,
From fearful March to smiling May,
When first you climbed the Indian Trail.
I've threaded many a devious maze
And Alpine path without rail,
Yet never felt such tipsy craze
As touched me on the Indian Trail.
Twas easy by the White Mans Path
For all the lofty cliffs to scale;
But boys, returned from river bath,
Preferred to take the Indian Trail.
All, that was years and years ago
To count them now would not avail
And every noble tree is low
That shadowed then our Indian Trail.
They've stripped off every bush and flower,
From Vincent to Deep Hollow dale;
The charm is sunk, the memory sour.-
There is no more an Indian Trail.
Dear boys, it takes away my breath,
=, To think how youth, and genius fall
Those grim pursuers, Time and Death,
Are baffied by no Indian Trail.
Far driven from our hunting-ground,
On breezy hill and billowy swale,
Some wander still; but some have found
The skyward end of Indian Trail.
Life lends such Comforts as it hath,
But labor wears and custom stales;
I plod all day the White Mans Path!
And dream at night of Indian Trails.

STOLE ROYAL AUTOGRAPHS.
An Ungrateful Young Englishman
Robs His Benefactor OF Priceless

An UnSfdteluI OuuS EHSflSiudn
Robs His Benefactor of Priceless
Treasures.
New YORK, March pa young
Englishman named William Donaldson
was held for trial to-day on the some
what unusual charge of stealing a
package of autograph letters writ
ten by the Prince of Wales.
Donaldson was arrested Tuesday
night, and played the letters off
against the credulity of the police as
evidence of his eminent responsibility.
1t is now painfully apparent that he
feloniously took these inestimable d0cu-
ments from a Mr.. Mara, now of New
York, but formerly a Lunnun town
crockery man, at whose establish
ment Albert Edward used to
get his water pitchers mended
and buy china dogs for the babies.
Donaldson came over from the other
side with Mr.. Mara's brother. He spent
his money here and went the ways of all
imported flesh-to Chicago. Finding no
opening in the Western metropolis for a
man with no money and less moral
character, he drifted back to New York,
with all his excess baggage under
his hat. 1t was then that Mr.. Mara
opened his house to the wanderer and
gave him socks, sympathy and several
other necessaries of life. He also. as it
seems, gave Donaldson access to the
choicest possession of the Mara honse-
hold, to wit. the sign manual of lis royal
'ighneSs. Mr. Mara overlooked several
little Irregularities on the part of his
guest, such as the theft of small coin,
and the excessive use of strong drink in
the family circle, but when the letters
disappeared he rightly judged that the
most unkindest cut of all had been in
flicted, and gave the matter to the po-
lice.

Youthful Philosopher.

Boston Herald.
Some years ago Causeur was spending
the evening with friend, who had been
doing something that he did not care to
have his mother know about mot because
he feared to have her know it, but be-
cause he thought it would trouble and
worry her. She questioned him
pretty closely, and he eVaded
the subject in every way he
could. At last he made. remark
which Causeur has always remembered
as one embodying a great deal of philos-
ophy and common sense: Mother" he
asked, very respectfully, but very seri-
ously, s'do you think it pays to hunt for
what you don't want to find?"

Pernetual Motion.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, March 22.-David
Jennings, of Oneida, claims to have
solved the perpetual motion problem.
His model is one-tenth horse power and
works to perfection. A chain made of
small links runs over three wheels in
the shape of triangle. The links are
made with hooks, and as the chain
moves over the top wheel to descend
alongside of the triangle the hooks
catch in links below and double it,every
two links doubling in its weight. At
the bottom the hooks automatically un-
fasten. The superior weight of the
double chain descending over the single
chain ascending is the motive power.
