Tho o!d Man.

Bow low the head, do reverence to the
old man, once like you. Tho vicissitudes
of life have silvered his hair and chang
ed the round merry face to the worn viz
age before you. Oacc the heart beat
with aspiration, crushed by disappoint-
ment, as yours, perhaps, is destined to
be. Once that form stalkcd promptly
through the gay scenes of pleasure, the
beau ideal OF grace; now the hand of
time that withers the flowers of yester-
day has bent that figure and destroyed
that noble carriage, Once, at your age,
he possessed the thousand thoughts that
pass through your brain, now wishing
to accomplish doccs equal to a nook in
fame; anon imaginging life a dream that
the sooner he awoIe from the better.
But lie has lived the dream very near
through, the time to awaken is very near
at hand; his eye never kindles at old
deeds of daring, and the hand takes a
firmer grasp of the staff. Dow low the
head, boy, as you would in your old age
be reverenced. Journal.

LOCKED IN A FREIGHT CAR.

James Murphy Brought From This City
to Meriden For Prosecution.
Yesterday morning the Meriden police
were called to the Center street depot of
the Meriden, Waterbury & Connecticut
River railroad and there in a closed
freight car found James Murphy. He
was arrested and charged with evasion
of paying car fare from Waterbury.
Conductor Watson said that when his
train left Waterbury the inspector told
him that someone was in the car; the
car was then locked and the train
started for Meriden. Upon being asked
if he had tried to collect the fare he
said that he had not. There the case
stood-he had not asked for the fare
and the man was locked in so he could
not get out. The man said he was with
one or two other men in Waterbury
they wanted place to sleep and
boarded the car, which was open; when
he awoke it was in Meriden with the
officers bending over him; he was drunk
Wednesday night. AS the affair occurred
in Waterbury the court thought that if
the company wanted to press the case
he could be taken to Waterbury, so time
was taken to let the company determine
what they would do.
