Another sun,mer - dead
Another sweet angel Eono
With soundless sweep of wings, intisible,
TO the mysticle Beyond
TO the heights wo name eternal"
It has passed forever from our
vision to the mysterious mists through
which all life that Is nourished by
the earth, must pass. The autumn
that glows with such splendor today
Is but q golden milestone In our jour
ney to the great Unknown. How
many more will there be? Alas, we
cannot tell. We only know that we
are travelling onward, and that before
us yawns . dreadful gulf Of gloom into
which we must sink at an unexpected
moment from Time and its environ
ments forever lost. -
There is no turning backward in
this journey-no pause. Startling
thought! Yet we pass on needless OF
danger. seeking the pleasure OF the
present, and feeling no solicitude for
the future.
We<gather flowers by the wayside
as the sun comes out from behind the
clouds and shines a little while, and
it is only when the flowers fade and
the clouds grow dark once more,
when cares and disappointments, and
when privation and Affections come
that we are startled by a sense of it's
fearful Importance.
| All, then what yearning in our
hearts to turn backward. Worlds for
a few brief moments of the past!
But there can never be a single pause
or the semblance OF a moment caught
from the voiceless gloom of the buried
years. 'The past is the eternal
past" The story is written, and the
book is sealed. No recalling Of words
that have cast a shadow over some
heart that was close to ours and is only
a memory now! No undoing Of deeds
for which the recording angel dropped
a tear in writing them down! There
Is no solace for what might have been,
save in the duties OF the present.
The now, alone, is ours, the seasons
that have been, the years to be are
not.
Onward is the law OF time, and We
may e7ade laws OF the statute book:
and laws OF moral principles, but
that law never. Onward the present
holds life's opportunities and its
possibilities and it is only now that
they are ours. Let us then take
advantage Of them, and il we Cal
speak a cheering word to the heavy
hearted, scatter sunshine by an. >ac
of kindness or lift a burden from th,
i shoulder Of some weary pilgrim Q,
Il llife's journey, let us do, it now, i: TO
this is the last time we will pass th
way, and our time for work is brief

Changes in Southern.

The announcement of the proposed
changes in the official personnel OF the
Southern Railway has caused no lit
lie talk in railroad circles. Speculation
is rife as to the promotions likely to be
made. It is now rumored that General
Manager Ackert will be relieved of his
present duties when advanced to vice
presidency. and J. II. Spencer, a son of
President Spencer, will be made general
manager A rumor is current also that
a number of division superinten-
dents will be dropped and an equal num-
Der of new men brought to the system
from western roads. Most of them will
come from the Wisconsin Central, from
which the new general superintendent,
Sumner j. Collins, resigned to accept
the service of the Southern 1t is said
that division of the general office force
NAV be sent from Washington to a
southern city for the purpose of facilitat-
ing correspondence and business for the
distant divisions. 1t is said, however,
that this would prove impracticable
while the general Offices remain
in Washington. Withal, the approach
ing summer promises many improve
ments, the outcome of the new
policy adopted by the management of
the Southern to keep in the lead of rail-
roading in the southern States.

Collided with the Slip.

The steamer Columbia, of the Wash
ington ferry line, collided with her slip
in Washington this morning and so badly
injured it that it was necessary to take
the boat off the line temporarily. The
steamer was on one of her up trips and
when nearing her berth the heavy north
west wind rendered it necessary to use
all the force of the engines in order to
bring the steamer into the slip. There
was decided lull, however, just as the
Columbia entered, and Notwithstanding
every effort was made to check her head
way she ran into the slip with the result
described above.

At Hills Opera House.

That the repertoire of plays presented by
the Huntley-Moore Stock Company at the
Opera House continues to please was evidenc-
ed last night by the large crowd which attend
ed the production Of "Old Kentuck, drama

and the Interpretation in several instances was
far above the average. In the case Of John
Woodford, ;" the part sought the actor, so that
Mr.. J. II. Huntly had little to do beyond let
ting his natural impulses have full sway in
order to realize the public's conception Of the
Kentucky gentleman. Mr.. Will F. Chap
man, as "Major Reub Poindexter,'" was ex-
ceptionally good as he put into his part a
touch of comedy which was not overdone, but
which could have been easily abused in less
competent hands. No doubt large houses
will greet the company the remainder OF the
week
