Hath brought us fuller hopes; and yet. forsooth,
We drop u tear now in this later time
To think we're old.
We smile at those poor fancics OF the past
A saddcned smile, almost akin to pain;
Those high desires, those purposes so vast,
Ali our poor hearts, they cannot come again;
We're growing old.
Old, Well, the heavens are old; this earth Ia,
too;
Old wine is best, maturest fruit most sweet;
Much have we lost, more gained, although It's
We tread HES way with most uncertain feet

Soft graccs, tender hopes on every hand;

BAR-ROOH SLANG.
Too Freely Used, 1t Sometimes Causes
Trouble,
Aud This it Did in the Case of Fresh
Young Man Down ut Wall
nut Grove.

Justice George I'igg of Walnut Grove
does not believe in beating about the
bush when be gets an offender in the
clutches of the law.
Yesterday he sent to the County Jail a
youth named John Brady, under sentence
of sixty days for alleged assault and
battery" on a barkeeper at the Grove.
But one side of the story has as yet been
heard, and that is told by the prisoner,
who is probably not without "bias and
prejudice in the matter.
According to his version OF the affair,
he did not assault nor batter any one, ex-
cept with his tongue. lie called for a
drink of belly wash" (Which is the vul-
gar term sometimes used to designate
Temperance drinks, and the barkeeper.
who is somewhat of a wag and a sticlller
Tor pure Anglo-SaXOn, diShed him up q
glass of slops from beneath The counter.
Brady appears 10 have resented this at
tempt to rival his humOr, so he got mad
and INDUCED in language more forcible
than polite, and then left the place. with
his stomach lacking the proposed bath.
He says he was arrested, taken before
Justice Figg and fined $40; that he con-
sidered it all joke. and suggested TO the
court that. as the latter owed him a like
sum for Labor performed, he should call
it square; that the Justice declined to do
so, and thar no BRADY then told the au-
gust personoke on the bench that he was
full Of prunes."
This was more than the court could or
would stand, and promptly sentenced
Brady to sixty days III jail.
As stated above, this is about as Brady
relates the circumstances OF the case. He
applied to the Superior Court for writ
Of habeas corpus, claiming that he is ille-
gally restrained OF his liberty, and the
matter will be heard this forenoon.
The prisoner has retained w. A. Ander-
son as his attorney, and the latter will at
tempt to prove that the Justices Court
was not regularly in session when the
commitment was made, but Justice figg
Will doubtless be on hand to prove other
wise, and his statement Of the case may
differ materially from that OF Brady's.
