MY BIRTHPLACE.


THE author of the following pathetic lines
well known in Belmont county, being the daughte
of the late John Kinsey, who resided at PleaSan
Valley, at the foot of the big HILL In year
gone by she wrote under the nom de plume of Lill
May, and her verses-always ehaste in theme an
pure in sentiment-found an acceptable place il
the poets column OF st. Clairsyille and Wheelin
papers:l
Mid fair OhiO's Eastern hills,
Where trees in regal spendOr rear
Their crested heads, DER purling rills,
My birthplace and my home were there;
The rocks with eyergreens were crOwn'd,
The hillsides blushed with cOlOrs rare,
And downy thistles tlOated round
Like atoms, in the ambient air.
They tell me that decay and change"
Are written DER the scenes that wore
So bright robe, when did range
In childhood, coming DER and DER
The beauties of that yerdant spot
My birthplace, and for many years my home
Yet hot one scene can be forgot
By me, where'er in life l roam.
1 see it now, the lovely vale,
The garden, and the orchard trees;
/ feel it rustic with the gale,
Or softly luIl'd by gentle breeze;
My home was nestled lovingly
Near by pure and gentle stream
That murmurd SO cOmpacently,
The summer days seemed like "a dream.
The wild birds built their airy nests
Among the tall trees by the door;
The morning mist above the crest
OF the high hills that rose before
Our vision, as it roll'd away,
Revealing TO our eager view
The promise of perfect day,
O'erspread with heavens azure blue.
They tell me that a change has come
Ger all those scenes | loved so well;
The meadow where used to roam
To gather viOlets (and dwell
In fancy in the land of dreams),
Is changed into thorOughfare;
The iron horse his place redeemS,
And plants his impress eren there.
Yet one dear spot so sacred. blest,
No time nor change must e'er destroy;
Where years ago laid TO rest
My darling blue-eyed baby boy;
With kindred dust he sweetly sleeps,
And violets bloom above his breast
My yearning spirit often keeps
Long vigils DER his place of rest.
And shall see that home no more?
The very thought is fraught with pain.
Yes! shall see it evermOre,
'Tis photographed upon my brain;
Not as it is, but as it.waS,
With my young life so pure and true,
l backward turn to that which was,
And forward to the future view
Here let me weep awhile, for now
My life is oh, so full of change
1t bears so heavy on my brow;
Yet nothing ever shall estrange
From the old homestead in the vale,
Where lived, and loved, my friends so dear;
Oh, how can repeat the tale
So often told, when none are near?
'Mongst all those dear and cherished ones,
l only see them from afar--
Not dimly, but with light that comes
In flashes, like the evening star
What! tears again? 1t must not be;
My life is very different now.
But let me say through tears We see
The rainbow, and with hope we bow
As suppliants to our Masters will,
I'll grasp the sunbeams while I've power
Oh, Time! oh, Change! oh, Grief be still;
I'm living in the present hour.

ONE OF JAY GOULD'S GoBBLES.

ON Il OE JAY GOULDS OODDLES-
About year ago Jay Gould sailed up
the Potomac on his yacht and spent
some time at Mt. Vernon. Then he
discovered that portion of the Wash
ingtOn estate was not owned by the
Mount Vernon Association. Going
quietly to an attorney at Alexandria he
requested him to purchase the addition
al 81 acres from the present owner for
as low price as they could be obtained
without permitting it to be known who
the purchaser was. The other day the
property was transferred to Gould and
by him decided to the regents of the
Mount Vernon Association, upon the
condition that it should never be divided
from the rest of the estate. The man
from whom the land was bought is ex-
ceedingly indignant now that he knows
who his customer was, for he thinks he
might have got much larger price than
the $500 paid.

How FAR short our present tariff is
of being protective is shown by the fact
that during the seven months ending
with January last 100000 tons of steel
rails, 26,000 tons of bar iron, $4,000 tons
of cotton ties, 1900 tons of steel plates
and sheets, 10000 tons of steel ingots
and billets, 1900 tons of wire rods, and
10000 tons of tin plates, So per cent
of the latter being iron or steel, were inn
ported. This is at the rate of 100000
tons year! These importations of iron
and steel represent not less than S20,
100000 year paid in wages to European
workingmen, while our own workingmen
needed the employment The Democrats
in Congress propose to reduce the tariff
so rs to increase importations, and take
the bread out of the mouths of Ameri-
can workingmen and their families.
