AKLOSTER OF ~ 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. * • * Would it not be a capital idea for the Street cemmittee to have the mad on the macadam of Broad . streets raked up and earted away? **• i Os the five Speakers at the Seay meeting at the City Hall last night I noticed that two, viz: John Mad- j dox and Henry Ober, both colored , ■were from North Rome, while i Moses Baily, of Chuiio.was anoth er.

Oree, when Col.

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. R. F. W. STARKE.
