LONG AGO.

Ionce knew all the birds til at came
And nested i'll our orchard trees
For every flower had name
Ny friends were woodchucks, to ID, aud bt G:
l knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants wo,sld sooth stone truisel
oh, was very learned then,
But that was long ago.
knew the spot upon the hill
Where checllerberries coull BE- iouni,
knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickcrel lay that weighed pound
] knew the wood-the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew me
But that was very long ago.
Ard pining for the joys of youth,
l tread the old familiar spot
Only to learn this solemn truth:
have forgotten, am forgot,
Yet this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things used to know;
To think l once was wise as he
Blu! that was very long ag,.
I know it's folly To complain
OF wlatsce eer the fates decree,
Yet, were not wishes all in vain,
tell you what my wish should lie;
Ii wish 10 be boy again,
Back with the friends used to know
For I was, oh 50 happy then
But that was very long ago!

Why Not a Free Mail Delivery.

We were told yesterday by Mr.. T.
NJ. Arlington, United States mail
official Of Washington, D. c., that
the receipts of the Winston post-office
we're sufficient to entitle the city to a
free mail delivery; in addition to this
We have sufficient population to enti-
tie us to it, then what is the reason
that we cannot get it? Simply be-
cause, as Mr.. Arlington says, our
people have never asked for it. No
better reason could be egiven than the
one assigned by Mr.. Arlington, and
since we are compelled to do without
it, we regret very much that we have
not a better one to give. tits not in
keeping with the progressive spirit of
this city for her people to sit quietly
and refuse to make an effort to secure
something that would be of SO much
benefit to them, and especially when
it's cost amounts to only the asking.
We do not know why they are SO lax
in regard to this matter, but we
know it reflects no credit upon our
city to force some of the best ladies
in town to edge their way sandwiched
between a crowd of toughs and
roughs to the general delivery win
dow to get their mail. 1t would be
a very harl condition to force upon
them If there was no remedy, but as
there is one, it's miserable shame.
Put the matter in whatever light
you see fit, and you are forced to
the conclusion that it costs the town
nothing, would be a matter OF much
convenience to a large class of citi-
zens, and is in no way compulsatory
upon those who do not see fit to en-
iOy it's advantages.

Wreck on the c. F. & Y. v. II. r.

A wreck occurred about noonTues
day on the branch of the CT. 6

gine or was only running at the rate
of about twelve miles an hour, We
learn, when the accident occurred.
A box car was in front of the en-
gine and when it struck a defective
rail it jumped off on one side and
the engine on the other. The latter
was turned upside down and dam
aged badly. The engineer jumped
off just in time to save his life, not
withstanding he sustained several
painful injuries. The fireman was
not hurt but a passenger, the name
of whom we did not learn, who was
riding on the tender, was thrown off
and injured seriously.
The Railroad men say that this is
the biggest wreck in the way of loss
1hat has ever occurred on the above

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.

R. G. Dunn & Co., in their reveiw,
this morning, of the state of trade
during the week ending June 18th,
say: Capable business men in all
parts of the country look upon the
moderate shrinkage in present trade
as natural result of last year S short
crops, and count with great conf
dence upon large business with the
full yield promised this year. In all
parts of the country the money mar
kets show surprising strength, not
withstanding the loss of gold to Eu-
rope, and while closeness is reported
at Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, st.
Louis, Nashville and Savanna, re-
ports from nearly all cities indicate
that nobody is suffering except spec
ulators.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the
last seven days, as reported by tele-
graph, number, for the United States
2l9, and for Canada, %, or total
of 247 last week, and 224 the week
previous to the last. For the cor
responding week of last year the fig-
ures were 212, representing 195 fail
ures in the United States, and II in
the Dominion of Canada.
