Lines Written BY HE Heasr snd ME
Frfepd-Cssss Heard.

| It was with feelings Of regret that tho
reporter went into the court yesterday
morning, for II was TO bid goodbye to
Justice John and The scenes that teach
one human nature from a rough but
| positive standpoint.
Justice John knew OF the contempiafeo
departure OF hts old-time friend, and the
tears rested on his chubby cheeks like
a bunch of grapes on an aiabaster vase.
He Is not a man given to Idle sentiment
nor is he a man who believes that
"Faendship's but nsme.
Ascharm that luis TO sleep:
A shade that follows wealth or fane
And leaves the wretch to weep"
He is loyal and firm In his frtendships
and on this solemn occasion he handed
me a slip containing the following lines.
which he dashed on between a 81 drunk
and hustings court case;
All. how little we think. as day after day
We count up our cargo OF pleasures.
Tomorrow the ship Of our JOY may 90
down.
And bury forever cur treasures.
How prone arc we all. In our passino
through life.
TO dam or disturb the stream at our
win:
How little we know from the sedge-cov.
cred brook
The half-hidden spring that lies on tbs
hill.
bid you adeu, arm glad of our meeting.
Am sorry our labors together are DER,
promise YOU now, I'll see you again, STR.
III meet you at last on that beautiful
shore.
This was n parting shot thai .as truly
touching. and when the r.utations OF
time shall have wrought their mysterious
work these lines will be found In the
back of n scrap book with q collection OF
the usual obituary notices.
Justice John still remains an enthusiast
over the election returns. and the follow
ing placard is among the patriotic in
scriptions that adcrn his walls:
"The time has come when men with
hearts and brains,
Must rise and take the misdirected reins
OF government. too long left In the hands
OF aliens, and OF lackeys. He stands
stands.
And sees the mighty vehicle OF state
Hauled through the mire TO some ignoble
fate.
And not make bold protest, as he can. 10
no American"
