LONG AGO.
On her lp uran’ms did bol’ me;
Smoothed my apron down-lost so;
Had mo fol’ my lion's, then tolc mo—
She's May qacen—lons? ago;
We'D they bad May queens, yon know,
lng ago. long, l-e-u-g ago.
Gran'ma's hair Is thin, an' so white.
An’ her face la—puckered so;
But she's swoc-ter by enuff sight.
Than some younger folks I know;
Don’t you sec how dandeli’nes blow?
Turn their qold all Into snow?
Oran’roa’s hair—lt done Jcs so.
Long ago, long, 1-o-o-tf ago.
Hair was gulden, like the sunlight,
Kyos wuz blue an' cheeks wuz red.
An" her skin wtt smooth an’ so wblh*,
That Is Ji w'at (tran'ma said.
AH in white from tip to toe,
Site was may queen, long r go,
I/iiitf ago, l-o-n-g, long ago.
Jes like fairies in green towers
Singin’, dancin’ on the green.
Pickin' out the brightest flowers
Fur to deck their llttlo queen,
1 auls and lasaea, ’round they go.
Dancin', slngiu’, ixiwln’ low,
I sing ago, long, i-o-n g ago.
firaii’tna stopn, "I’m tired,” says she,
"Now go away, dearie,” an’ I go.
But it's qneer wiial she can seo uow
Lookin' far oft an’sighin’ so.
An' I hear her whisperin' low,
"Polly. Betsy, John an’ Jo
Done, all gone, so long ago,
Lsmg ago, lung, 1-o-n-g ago.”

Two or three member* of flic Fifty
flrst congress have occasion to remem
ber the late General Spinola from the
thrusts lie gave them whenever they
offered him battle at repartee. Elijah
Arinins Morse, tho “Rising Sun” states
man from Canton, Mass,, is one of these
members. He, in common with many
others, Joked the New York man about
his high collars. One day General
Rplnola had the floor and was making
a vigorous speech against some parlia
mentary ruling of the speaker. The
general had been overlooked by Shak
er Reed when lie was entitled to recog
nition. Ho was asserting his rights
when Mr. Morse interrupted him with
the remark •
“Yonr collar was so high that the
Speaker couldn’t see you."
“I-et me say to the gentleman from
Massachusetts,” retorted General Spin
ola, “that if lie had on n collar twice
os high as mine he would not las hid
den; it would not cover his ears.”

Tin Mining in KnglHitfl by tlio Houiitni.
As soon as the Romans made a con
quest of Britain they formed in the tin
province camps and roads (still visible),
ami left behind them vases, urns,
sepulchers, and money that exhibit
daily proofs of their having been a
stationary people in these parts, ami
that Daiunoniuiu extended even to the
Polerian promenotory or the Land’s
End, limited by the western parts of
Somersetshire. The Romans, us is well
known, occupied Britain from B 0. 55
to A. I>. 40!), or 401 years, during which
period the Cornish tin mines were largo
ly worked by the ancient Britains, pos
sibly for their own advantage, hut more
probably as serfs, and in A. I) 40!) the
Romans had to give way to the Saxons.

In China there is a root culled Kite
kl-ye, which often sells for from twenty
to one hundred times Its weight in gold
In Manchuria the same root, under a
different name, if anythin# more itnpro
nounceable, Bells equally as high. Tliese
roots, which in order to bo highly vain
able must lie of a peculiar slmpo, are
bought only by mandarins, priests and
others of the wealthiest classes. Single
roots of this plaut not weighing more
than the tenth of an ounce are said to
often sell for from fifty to seventy five
dollars each. What is still more re
markable about this valuable eastern
root is the fact that it is n closely allied
species, if not identical, with our com
uiou ginseng. St. Louis Republic.
