When | Was a Boy.

Up in the attic where slept
When was boy-a little boy!-
In through the lattice the moonlight
crept,
Bringing tide of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle-bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and
seek
With the dirnples on each sun.browned
check
When was boy-a little boy!-
And, oh, the dreams, the dreams l
dreamed
When l was boy-a little bowl
For the grace that through the lattice
streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gilt of prophecy,
And to bring me glimpses of times to be
Where childhood's clarion seemed to call.
All, that was the sweetest dream of all
Wnen was DOY-a Httle DOy!-
I'd like to sleep where used to sleep,
For in at the lattice the moon would
peep,
When I was boy-a little boy!-
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint
to-day,
And those dreams should give me back
again
The peace l have never known since
then
When l was a boy-a little boy!-

ans oratory served frappe. Neither,
it would seem, can he have in mind the
earlier English use of the adjective
common" which in the Bible and
Shakespeare, for example, is used in
decidedly unsavory connections.
A curious instance occurs in the book
Of the New Testament called Acts, where
.,,,,., c the following in
' ~ junction is found
"What God hath cleansed, that call not
thou common" This, Farmer Bryan
has apparently overlooked in his scrip
tural researches, or perhaps he had not
gotten SO far over; otherwise he is
placed in the somewhat difficult posi-
tion of either rejecting this divine pre-
cept, or giving countenance to an
ancient taunt by denying his constitu-
ency to be effectually cleansed
It is certainly to be hoped that the
English flavor of the title which Far
~ mer Bryan has
selected may not
give offense to any great part of the
millions who have voted for him and
who are expected to patronize his type
talks. But if that should happen, he
could still find names which would ex.
press his idea, as we understand it, and
at the same time avoid complimentary
attitude toward the court of st. James
He might use Mr.. Lincoln's word and
style himself "The Palmer" which
would also have pleasantly industrial
sound or he could go back to the usage
of Chaucer and Wycliffe, and call ii

facility and felicity with which the

coin, opened the initial number Of his
bucolic paper with some very gratifying
information concerning the Greeks and
Romans fact which is interesting, in
that it shows that he has found time,
since temporarily renouncing candida
ture, to apply himself to other branches
of erudition than those which Mr.. Will
liam Allen White observed last summer
to be represented in Farmer Bryan's
library. But THE CONSERVATIVE must
gently demonstrate with Farmer Bryan,
at the risk Of seeming to ride a hobby,
on his choice of foreign tongues; why
does he tell us what the Greeks and
Romans called people, and overlook the
Germans, the Scandinavians, the Cloths,
the Irish, or the Pawnees, for example
peoples who, as THE CONSERVATIVE has
often maintained, come much nearer
home to Americans than do the nations
of antiquity? Farmer Bryan could have
found much pathological information in
this direction in the Dictionary of Mr..
Noah Webster a work to which he un-
doubtedly can obtain access, if he has it
not upon his own shelves.
We learn further that Farmer Bryan,
in selecting the title Of "Commoner"
for his periodical,
NO LESS common did not mean to
refer to the degree of it's selectness; as
that it was to be little less choice than
if he had called it 1.-THE Common" but
q little more so than if he had called it
"The Commonest;" he means rather to
convey the impression that he belongs to
what the late A. Lincoln called 1.-The
plain people; - that he is what the poet
of the balmy isles Of the Pacific calls
"just common low Cd id white
man." Farmer Bryan's allusion is
evidently to one William Gladstone of
England, who, it is said, was called the
Great Commoner, because he insisted on
remaining member of that branch of
the British government known as the
House of Commons, and refused abso-
lutely to become alord. Farmer Bryan's
title would appear therefore to be taken
rather from the English than from the
American language; or perhaps it is
more French than either, for the word
comnaunard seems to have better stand
ing in French than has "commoner" in
English. It will no doubt be made clear
in time, as Farmer Bryan has leisure to
cover the fields of history and etymology
more thoroughly, whether his allusion
is after all to the French communard.
Another use of the word common -
which also is wholly English, is it's NOM
inative use, in
which it signifies a
verdant expanse attached to an English
village or other town site, Whereon the
