IN OH MAN.s pREAm.
Oliver Yendeii Holmes.

Oh, for an hour of youthful Joy!
Give back my twentieth spring
I'd rather laugh, a bright-haired boy,
Than reign gray-haired king.
Off with the spoils of wrinkled age!
Away with learniug's crown!
Tear out life's wisdom written page
And dash its trophies down.
One moment let my life-blood stream
From the beyhood's font of flame!
Give me one giddy, Keeling dream
OF life, all love and flame.
My listening angel heard the prayer
And, calmly smiling. said:
"If i but touch thy silvered hair
Thy hasty wish hath sped.
'But is there nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
10 find the wished.for day.
"Ah truest soul Of womankind!
Without thee what were life?
One bliss l cannot leave behind
I'll take-my-precious-wifem
The angel took a sapphire pen.
And wrote, III rainbow dew:
'Ihe man would be boy again,
And be husband, too"
"And is there nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears
Remember, all their gifts have fled
With those dissolving years y
why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternul joys;
could not bear to leave them all
HI take-my-girls-a p
The smiling angel dropped his pen
why, this will never do!
The man would be boy again
And be father, too!''
And so laughed--my laughter woke
The household with the noise
And wrote my dream when mornin. wol
To please the gray-haired boys.

NEWARK, May S.-The works Of the
American Hard Fibre Co. are now run
ming at their full capacity and success
has attended the new management from
the start. There is constantly widen
ing market for hard fibre in mechanical
and electrical circles the world over and
as there arc only a few industries OF
this sort IN the country and almost none
abroad, the demand is likely to be
steady and profitable. The local com
pany has under consideration the
adding of an electric light plant, so
that the works can be run night and
day. A considerable force of men is
now at work rebuilding the old Dean
mill, preparatory to its occupation by
Denny Brothers next July for the
manufacture of light machinery. There
is possibility of another good industry
selecting a site on the same property, in
which case Deandale will again become
hive OF industry, as il was before the
fire on December 25th, 1886, though
there will never likely be so many peo-
pie employed as in the Dean wooden
mills,

A London journal Prints an Alarmlst
Statement About India.
LONDON, May 5.-The Spectator to-
day publishes an alarmist article in re-
gard to India and the possibility of seri-
Gus trouble in that country.
The Spectator refers to the dispatch
from Calcutta, published in the Times
April 17th, announcing that much ex-
element prevailed in North Behar,
owing to the fact that all the Mango
trees in several districts had been found
smeared with mixture of mud and Of
the hairs of some animal. The officials
were perplexed. some considering that
tho smearlng of the trees was a secret
sign connected with the COW protection
movement.
In this reference to the Times dispatch
the Spectator recalls that next Thursday
is the anniversary of the Indian mutiny,
and that this anniversary has been
preceded by a mysterious distribution
of cakes throughout Behar and the
Northwest.
According to the Spectator, there is
something stirring among the Nepaulese
priests, and it is feared that it portcnda
another serious rising in India.

News comes that the Gettysburg
battlefield has been rescued from the en-.
croachments of vandal corporations.
The Congressional grant of $25, 900, and
the large discretionary powers with
which the battlefield commission has
been invested, have borne good fruit in
preventing the trolley company from
laying its tracks across the grounds.
The commission has already secured the
greater part Of these grounds, but its
work will not be completed until every
acre of the historic field is owned by
and comes under the guardianship and
protection of the nation,

principles has been made IN their be-
half, and the original programme Of
coxey has fallen largely out Of sight.
The talk OF he leaders has become
mostly a vague dcnunciation OF CAPT.
talists, with hints al redistribution Of
property. Their plans Of operation are
as crude and vague as their doctrines.
Beyond the general notion that their
mission is 70 get to Washington as soon
as possible, they have no method in
their movements. What is TO be done
there none can say. The several d.
visions Of the army are scattered in
widely separate regions, and no time is
fixed for meeting, nor can they pos
slbly reach the capital together. We're
they all arrayed before the doors Of
the houses of Congress to-day, the
practical result would be a large
addition 70 the idlcness and pauperism
of Washington. The problem presented
would be, how can the city get rid Of
the yagrant mob? Nor could any sane
public man think of discussing finance
or national policy with the visitors until
this problem were solved. In short, the
entire enterprise Of Coxey and his imi-
tators is foolish. 1t has no element Of
respectabiiity, moral, intellectual or
material. II bears no mark of
popular inspiration, represents no cause
and engages no real enthusiasm. y
But we believe that the sham crusade
has already eliminated, and that from
this time the ridiculous aspects OF it will
rapidly come into prominence while its
alarming features disappear"
