AN OLD eeAu.

What II choose 70 Sit alone
And scan these printed pagea,
Or gossip with your chaperone.
Who nearer 10 my age Is
Than you, whose laughter fills the car
And reaches me as from afar
BY slow aud easy stages.
The bellies and beaux OF '6s,
Though doubtless wise and witty,
or theater parties never knew
Bound for the Quaker City.
And |, a relic Of the past,
For deeming them q triflo fast,
No doubt have earned your pity.
Although quite out Of place seem,
Don't think that ] regret II.
Just let me sit in peace and dream
Somehow we CRATE; and yet II
Is not because you seem too gay,
But that I'm growing old and gray
And cannot quite forget II.
Fond girl, that fitting BY my seat.
Some joke no doubt intending.
Gives me a smile rs bright as sweet,
Her way then onward wendingl
see within her pretty eyes
The image Of her mother rise.
And just above me bending.
II brings me back the long ago,
And when and whore met her
In all her girlish blush and glow;
All, how still regret herl
But she was rich and was poor,
While time and absence bring azure.
never shall forget her.
The youth who In your cushioned chair
A yawn attempts 10 smother,
No doubt considers you as fair
As once thought your mother;
But you are rich and so Is he,
Between you need no parting be,
And you may love each other.

THERE was nothing wrong with "Jeems'' yes
terday. Who says there wasy
STALEY and Viau will be the pitchers to-day
At least that was the intention last night.
THERE are some corking hard hitters in the
local team. Young found that out yesterday.
AND Bob Leadlev is here just genial as need
be, and as happy as bushing sunfower. He
has good team with him this time.
OUR own Palmer lighted up Fifth avenue last
evening after the game. He still cIings to his
statement: "Ne'll be In 1t in October.''
DISPATCH from Baltimore SAYS, Manager
Barnie tclegraphed home tonight that he had
signed Pitcher Madden, who was released by the
Boston team a few days ago.
A BOSTON dispatch says: 1t is very probable
that with the return of the Boston Red Stockin 0s
to the Congress street grounds next Saturday. a
tariff of 25 cents will be charged for admission in
stead of so cents as at present. The directors Of
the club have the matter under consideration and
will decide in day or SO.
