BULL’S EYE SHOTS.
I am of the opinion, aftsr view
ing the gutters in front of the dr»
goods houses of Thomas Fahy .it. i
J. Kuttner and the entire frent of
the Masonic Temple and Lancas
ter's gallery, that a street overseer
could find 1 e'ter employment than
talking politics, through work
hours. And I am prone to believe
that m*»ny other people and esps
cially the parties whose busineis
frosts, are choked with washings
and snow drifts, with me.

for the Street cemmittee to have

meeting at the City Hall last night
I noticed that two, viz: John Mad- j

■were from North Rome, while i
Moses Baily, of Chuiio.was anoth

The chief attraction at the open

he would rise to a point ot order
and the balance of the meeting
would go into a committee of the
whole and exemplify disorder.
Oree, when Col. Maya wasordered
by the little fat faced, pop eyed
chairman te take hie seat, the
dark hued son of Blackstone grew
impassioned, and exclaimed; “I

Finally the li tie el a rnian left his

ejected and locked up in the city

THE HUSTLER OF ROME, WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1894.
HOWARDGRAY
(Tho following story was writ
py a twolve-year old boy Stu
d‘nt, in Six'll Gr»de A, of ihe
ilome Public Schools. I am sa'is
lied that he wro’e it wi'hout nuis
ance. and after reading it over,
nublieh it, to show >h« world thnt
•ven th' 1 “an al b y’ of R-.nn is
mov ng forward. He ells me that
a little friend o hie is writing a
book —look out for it!)
The hero of this story was the
roungeet of five brothers, who were
reared in an elegant country home,
the elder brothers had eaeh re
ceived their portion, and had
nonies of their own,content towed
and locate within easy diataaee of
the old homestead. Net so with the
baby boy, from hie childhood ho
was a groat student, mastering ev
erything good or bad within his
reach. His father seeing that he
yearned for a higher education
than it was possible for him t© get
at a country school, determined to
him a thorough course in the
college of his choice.
When he made known his in
enlions to his son he wept aloud
with jey. and expressed a desire to
attend Vanderbilts University, as
i« would not he so far away from
ms aged parents. Preparations we e
"•gun at oi ce for his departure,
his chief regret in leaving home
vns parting with his mother who
n»d long been au invalid.
Il« felt that he could not bear
o eay good-bye to her e© early in
the morn, while she still slept he
dole softly into her room, knelt by
her bed and breathed a word of
prayer pressing a kiss on her dear
face ho left her.
His father accompanied him to
o—where he bad« him good-bye,
and he at once boarded the train
for N— ra ising a window he waved
alaat-adiwe to his dear father.
Alas! poor boy, could you foresee
the coming event, you would re
trace ysur steps even new.
Howard Gray, for that is the
same of the bey student, as you
remember, is a country boy. On
beieg introduced to the Faculty,
ho undergoes ©rigid examinatioe,
and just here, I will state for the
bewelt of others:
The questions to be aaawered
were written on the black board
and bo was required to giro verbal
answers. I will only give a few of
the questions on one study. Geog
raphy—Name all the States iu the
United States, give their capitals,
sad tel I on what rivers situated?
Name the agricultural products of
each State? Toll what you know
about the natural gr< w k and min
erals of each State? The youth
was dumb-'ounded, and felt how
sadly his education had bean ueg
looted, he failed in this as well ae
similar exami: a ion*. VVie told,
to graduate iu that luztimlion it
be necessary for him to ap
ply himself studiously from four
to five years. He is thoughtful, be
ing only sixteen years of age be
has ample time ;so after having
boon assigned his duties and shown
his room, with steadv aim and
purpose absorbs himself in hit
studies. Writes long letters home,
bit is mute to all the world be
sides.
After four long years Howard
Gary and I meet again, no longer
a boy, but a tall, handsome man,
hair dark asnight, dark penetrating
eyes, in fact his whole make up is
one to be admired. His studious
application has enabled him to
graduate with the highest honors
of the University. Having chosen
law for his profession will remain
where he is another year to com
plete the legal course.
Much has trausnired to sadden
and brighten the lite of my hero
since the beginning of this story
He has buried his ag p d parents,
which rvas to him a sure bereave
ment, but I will not linger on these
sad memories and a —*>■ <1 see, e-t
but will tell you of a sweet little
comforter that he met shortly af
ter the death of his father ; just at
the close of his junior year at col
lege, a niece of Prof. L— who had
been a visitor at his home for sev.
•ral weeks, and perhaps had seen
and admired him at a distance
since her arrival ;seut to his room
a lovely boquet of flower, with a
card on which was written in a
faultless hand, these words :
• “I have heard of your loss; you
have my sympathy. I tvo am doub
ly au orphan.”
M? belle Young.
He longed to know and clasp the
hand in grantful acknowledgment,
of this kindness, he had met manj
beautiful ladies, but had never
wasted any time ou leve affairs
considered time toe precious, but
now, strange to say, he cannot
sleep for thinking of ihe donor of
•hose sweet flowers. He piclvres
h°r in his imagination as a very
.superior being and when by chance
they meet, he is sure he has n vei
s‘en one so lovely before. It war
love at first sight—love all pewer
ful—all eternal —
He was transfixed by her queen
ly grace and beauty, for a time he
forgot his studies, his bereavement
every thing, but that he was madly
in love. He was not long in cl -
ciaring himself, and found that
she coo loved.him with her whole
heart.
She was just eighteen and would
enter a finishing school for oir
more year, and then would trave
with her guardian in Europe for i.
year, while he too would have com
pleted his collegiate and law cours'
They talked of the separa ion.
how hard it would be to liv»
apart such a long, long time; bu
each thought it best; after many
pledgee of fidelity to each other
he clasped her in a warm embrace
a« d imprinted a parting kiss oi
her 1 ips, which was to be the lasi
for two years.
He could have persuaded her t<
have married him then, but hit
youth and determination to mak
i name in the world, ere he tool
to himself a bride cau.el him o
forego this sweet pleasure,
He had learned tnrough hei
that she was an heiress, how sorr>
he w that his idol was not pooi
and entirely dependent on him.
lie had also inherited a libers
fortune from his fathers vast es
tats, but all this did not satisfy
his cravings, he would carve foi
himself a name worthy of his
ovely bride and her pr iul for
tune.
To make s. long story short she
was much sought after while trav
elling abroad, her pretty, fascine
ling manners, and intellectual ac
complishments brought tbe titier
nobility to her feet; she was not r
coquette nor did she court favor
with them.
She was true to her absent lover,
her true knight whom she knew
was waiting and watching for her
Tired of waiting much to her sur •
pri-e he joins her just as she is
embarking for her homeware
journey. Too overjoyed to speak
she threw her arms around hi
neck and wept on bis bosom.
On I Belle, darling, I cannot of
•er you a crown, or even a Title,
u, v I can give, you a loyal hwuri
that has never loved but you ; teb
me dearest, that you are ready to
give me your pure trusting heart;
that you will be my little wife at
no distant day . I have already fit
ted up a little palace for my queen.
I ecu d not wut, but come to hur
ry you up. Her heart was so en
tirely his that t ook but little p-r
suasion to induce her to marry
him in less than a month after he>
arrival home. Here we bid them
adieu.
