publication Of this newspaper he had been
heralded IA the witty city editor OF The
Liae Roct Gasetie, n man flowing over with
provocations TO inccsant laughter. The
quaint and queer in human conduct and
disposition were ever developing 10 him;
the littlcnesscs and weaknesses, too, that
are the outcroppings Of scli-love and rank
ling egotism. His penetration was search
ing and keen, and shortly after entering
upon his career he found himself with
more material than he could make
use Of wisely or safely. The fear Of oilenso
was upon the press, and hc was restricted,
crampcd and confined NO that the bands Of
restraint cut into the flesh making wounds,
each ono Of which was special, pleading
protest against his combining himself 10 the
mere routine and drudgcry OF subordi-
nate position. Like tho ancient back

THE CLOCK.
HAIRY ,. HESTER.

lheard the old clock ticking near my open
chamber door
In soft and sweet metallic tone never
heard before;
II sang to me a maxim and impressed upon
my mind
This truth that old Eternity can never
Ieave behind
T. truth as Old AS Father Time that for
thousand years
Has fallen on a myriad of dull, unheeding
ears
"whether it be of happiness, or whether 1t
be Of pain,
The hour that has passed you by will never
come again."
The oil clock resurrccted the dead and
buried past,
And a thou sand recollections came DER mo,
thick and fast.
In the varied panorama that my fitting
fancy drew
My own misspent, misguided youth was
c,e.rly brought TO view;
And sprin9ing from my restless couchI
cried: 20, Time, delayl'
But the old cock seemed TO answer: '"To.
morrow is to day
Whether it be of sunshine, or whether it be
ef rain,
The hour that has passed you by will never
como again"
But ambitiOn burned within me rs the fu-
ture rose TO view,
With munifccnt reward for perseverance
strong and true;
And with grim determination / resolved
Il. every day
Should record labor well performed-and
the old clock seemed 10 say:
Dwell with the resolution, and hold II
str ing and fast,
Till the life that is gliding from you lies
buried in the past;
For VIII thee it be of happiness, or whether
IL be of pain,
The hour that is passing by you will never
como again"
