OLD TIMES IN FRANKFORT.
No. IN.
(Crutcher-Tate Melange.)

Fan amusing episode connected
with the days of slavery occurred
near Frankfort, prior to the Civil
War. Bob Taylor and Dick Tate
were charmed with two young
ladies, named Vaughan, residing
in the county. Determining to
give them serenade, they engaged
the services of John n. Crutcher,
as vocalist, Ed. Went, as performer
on the flute, whilst Walter Lewis
was to do the guitar part.
Arrived at the farm home, one
bright starlight night, horses were
hitched, instruments uncased, and
the group were silently crossing
the stiles at the yard fence when
the vocalist, Crutcher, noticed
some calves lying down in the yard.
Quickly grasping the tail of one of
these, he gave it twist. The ami
NAL jumped up, believing, the
others sprang up with a great clat-
ter. The calf Ian-Crutcter held
on-twelve or fifteen hounds, from
under the pOrches and from behind
the house, joined the chase, close
behind Crutcher, giving vent to
music that seemed appalling.
Afraid to let go for fear of the
hounds, round and round the yard
they went, till, in desperation and
nearly exhausted, Crutcher sud-
denly sprang, painting and weak, on
the stiles, face downward.
His companions were indignant,
disgusted and proposed to omit the
serenade. Crutcher said no, it
would not do to stop now, that he
was only executing ian involun-
tary on the calf-et, sand the home

VAST IMPROVEMENT

We can not refrain from again
commencing the Capital Gas and
Electric Light Co. for the great i'm
provement in the street lights which
they have so recently put up. IN
place of being one of the worst
lighted cities in the State, this is
now one of the best. The lights
burn clear and undimmed straight
along without any flickerine, so
characteristic of the old lights.
We deem this due to the company
who are so often cursed instead of
praised.

1S74-IN PORTRATTURE-loOG.

When all the greyish dawn of
youth, and dreams,
Were mer;ed in the ideal, then
came the hour
For pensivo musings. Back to
quiet streams
with line and rod. What potent
power
The small, white hand of boyhood' :
fancy caught
Its first impression! Earnest les
sons taught
But afterward the noon time came
with tears.
The shadows heightened. All the
world appeared
A circumscribed event - as other
years,
Which rome and go. The note of
singing bird
Had lost its erectness, and the
work and heat
Fell as garment to his very
feet
And now it's eventide. and rest is
sweeter far
Beside the stream we call the
stream of life.
If youth and dreams are past, the
guiding star
r Beckcns him on to duties call
. .-'> its strife!
The lost ideals are found in the
sublime
OF manlier thought - upon the
shore of Time!
Look not my friend, upon the Bit
ter past of lost endeavor,
Or TO the allurine future! Bide
the present hour.
And view it with n steadfast puI-
pose, trusting ever
That great and soulful power
When childhood, youth, and gentle
age, agree
TO dwell together-fhrough eter-
nifty!
