THE HISTORY OF LIFE.
BARRY CORNWALL.l

Day dawned. Within curtained room,
Filled to faintness with perfume.
A lady lay at point Of doom
Day closed. A child had seen the light;
But for the lady fair and bright,
She rested in undreaming night!
Spring came. The lady's grave was green
And near it oftentimes was seen,
A gentle boy, with thoughtful micn.
Years fled. He wore manly face,
And struggled in the worlds rough race,
And won at last lofty place.
And then he died Behold before ye,
Humanity's brief sum and story,
Life, death and all that is of-Glory.

eighty days, but, according to the
time table kept by the stake holders
at the starting point in London, be
had consumed only seventy nine days.
The difference of one day became a
nine days wonder. London was in
almost as great oommotion as Fred
ericksburg is now over the sugar bee
question. Scientists, after long study,
solved the puzzle and explained the
mystery. The tourist. by rapid and
continuous trsvtl from West to East
had uuconsciously played joke Oh
Father Time and beat him out of 6
whole day. While he had seen eighty
suns come and go, the slow, plOdding
people Of London had seen but sew
enty. nine. Then, as now, both sides
we're right. If, by rapid movement, &,
one day can be gained in eighty, it is
reasonable to conclude that our
world. by fast living, has gained one
year in the last hundred. This settles
the century question, for which let us
all be thankful y.

Another suit for $500 has been in.
stituted in Essex county court by z
X Baumsn, travelling salesman
against the Weems company for al.
legged negligence on the part of the
crew Of the steamer Lancaster. It ap
pears that the steamer Essex was,
during the recent cold spell, lying
alongside OF Tsppahannock wharf,
and aground so as to render her i'm
movable, when the steamer Lancss'
ter came to make ber landing on the
way down the river. The crew claim
that on account Of the Essex being in
the way, and shallow water caused by
an uuususlly low tide. it was i'm.
possible to get the boat near enough
to the wharf to land in the usual way,
and the passengers had to be landed
snd taken aboard through the anchor
door on the forward part of the boat.
Mr.. Baumsn had his horse and buggy
on the wharf to take passage 10
Wtlltords and claims that the officers
made little or no effort to get him
aud his team aboard, despite his
pleadings. He also claims to be able
to prove that certain mem bers, or a

that the Lancaster could have been
