Justice at Last,

Fifteen years ago Capt. VIM. d. Sparks
of Delaware regiment applied through
Jno. E. Wilson, Esq, his attorney for a
settlement of his claims against the gov
eminent. Unfairly treated by superior
officer (who was soon after killed in
battle). Sparks resented it, and was re-
duced to the ranks in which capacity he
served for a number of years, and al
though restored to his rank and pay be-
fore the close of the war he was refused
the pay due his rank. He was severely
wounded. He made claim but not until
this month was the order issued for his
re muster which gives him the difference
in pay between private and commits
stoned officer, and large increase of pen
sion, that of an officer being double that
of soldier the arrears going back to his
discharge.

At the trees,
As they bend by the window
And sigh

Was dreaming over my glass?
The fact is l was thinking OF when
We stood ty the mill in the glen,
Ten years or more i'll the past.
Then you were young! All, so wasI, j.. *
At twenty the song that sung
Was OF future; now We look back.
l thought that heard in the breez.,
In the third story OF this hotel,
The very same sound of the trees
That we used to hear down y the mill
As we stood on the b nix by the gate,
With the water wheel whirlng around.
When the uttermoSt scope OF our fate
Was as dim the mist that hung down
Its deecy folds
Over the town.
With the bats blunderin" round in the dark
And the croak OF the frogs in the pool.
And the breeze coming fresh from the bay,
Blended in with the sweet smell oi hay
Just mown. over there by the school.
And our girls, how are they?
There was Katie nd Maggie and
What do you say ?
Well, how queer it does sound:
You are married, five years Just to-day,

more Sunday American appeared the fol-
lowing excellent poems:
LAT EVENING"
Sing me song of soit-sounding strain,
A law with mystical. magic spell;
Something to ease this dull, thrObbng pain
Soft like the sound of vesper bell.
Sing, OH singer and let thy song
Bring spell to a carewOrn heart,
To drive out a nighttime that seems so long
When darkness and daylight are far apart.
Something to ease, oh, something to rest
Words that shall sound like sweet lullaby
Sung by mother to one on er breast,
When evening has come and darkness is nigh
