Mr. and Mrs. Loren Trescott are the
keepers of the government lighthouse at
Sand Boach, Mich., and are bit s<ed with
a daughter, 4 years old. Last April she
was taken down with m<-asl>'S, followed
with a dreadful cough and turning into a
lever Doctors at home and at Detroit
treated her, but in vain, she grew worse
rapidlv, until she was a mere “handful of
bones”.—Then she tried Dr. Kings New
Discovery and after the use of two and
one half bottles was completely cured.
They say Dr. King’s New Discovery is
worth its weight in gold, yet you may get
a trial bottle free at D. VV. Curry’s.

THE TRIBUNE-OF-ROME. SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 15, 1891.
DAYS OF CHILDHOOD.
What Robin Red Has to Talk
About This Morning. I
THE BACK YARD FOR A SLB.IECT.
What Memory’s Bells Recall—Toueli
ing and Realistic Reminiscences of
the Past—A Description That Is
j (True to the Life—The “Oudacious
Chillun” and the Pickaninnies.
That prolific, though vicarious source
of chestnuts, the oik tree, has been writ
i ten about and talked ab >ut, and praised
in all ages. The gentle purling brook
has figured so extensively in poetry a (id
prose, that it seems that in ju-tico to it,
or kindness to the long buffering reader
it should he allowed an interval of
silence.
In the animal world the lamb has
always stood forth, a white flrecy tar
get at which to shoot, shallow platitudes.
How many writers have dragged into
their puny, sickly stores, the front porch,
and made it the back ground of their
most thrilling love scenes!
But who has ever yet gone to the rear
cf the edifice for a theme?
Who will join me : n a protestation, call
ing a truce to the perpetual delineation
of these old familiar bearings, and enter
a plea for one dear, though perhaps,
neglected spo* in history.
Memory’s bells are ringing with the
clear decisive tone of childhood's in
nocence and mirth, though long muffled
by the stern realities and duties of after
life. They recall a place most dear, and
o’er their melody floats a vision of
childhood’s happy houbs,
a homely, though not an unattractive
spot, the arena of all our sports.
“ I'be back yard!”
When night yet with morning lingers,
and the first, grey streaks of dawn drown
themst lve< in the red and gold of east
ern skies; when drowsy little beads tuck
themselves into the downy pillow for one
last swe«“t nap; when little chicks are up
and scratching for their living, and little
darkies, too, are up, spyingout the laud
tis then that dusky “Dinah’’ comes with
a whoop, and comes with a call, and,
flingins aside the nursery doors, says: >
“Git up! git up! you lazy little chillun
an’ go out in de yard ter play.”
Ob, “you lazy little chillun,” will you
ever bo so happy again as when y)>u
played in the back yard? What mim,*
ions so enthusiastic and guileless $ te.
1 ittle uegro.j|B who qyaited you |hy
whose shiny eyes and dazz 1 ing teet
beamed upon you a hearty greeting?
Who could tell or find out so much niws
in the early morning light? How they
cou d shock, th: ill or console with some
thing like the following:
“Yer bin d‘inkin’ water often de ole
yaller cat, kase Uuck ' r orm jes hauled
him outen de well dis mawnin’.”
“Whar yei big doll? Didu’t yer lef hit
out in de raiu las’ night? I done foun’
hit all drownded and melted; spec we have
a big funeral terday.”
“De speckle hen got a nest wid ten aigs
under de barn.”
“Ne’er mind, honey, I’m gwine ter git
yer somethin’ nice. I know whar dey is
some apples turnin’ red.”
When the breakfast bad been served
and the dishes cleared away; when the
sun was creeping up into the noonday
sky, throwing long shadows over
THE SANDY BACK YARD,
and the aristocratic “Rover” and the
plebian “Tige” were dozing on the steps,
there still resounds upon the palpitant
air the musical hum of childish vo M
joined in their merry glee by a crown ui
little ones from the neighbors over the
way.
Can you not see them? All that is
white and pure and innocent enters into
that picture; all the aroma, expectancy,
and hope of youth is there, untrammelled
by a thought of the great unpathed be
yond. Only the peach tree, with its dread
ful switches, stands a warning to the
complete, and prodigal indu'geoce of
youthful desires and impulses. There
stands also the gnarled apple tree, glori
ous always, whether clothed in pink and
white, or challenging the daring with it
lucious, ruddy fruit. Rampant on the
garden fence the “morning-glory’' trails,
while near by the scraggy “monthly”
rose shakes it’s petals down. Beautiful,
clean, white chips scattered o'er the
ground, sometimes turn to fleets of white
vessels, and are made to sail o’er magical
seas of dirt.
There isthebuge black pot in which
peas are boiled for the cow. There the
long rows of milk pans which sometimes
turn to bass drums and herald the ap
proach of
A TERRIBLE CIVIL WAR,
and black and white are marsh Hied in
terrible array. The wood pile becomes a
mighty fort of defense. The wheel bar
row is alternately the caisson for the
cannon and the ambulance for the
wounded. “Tige” or “Rover” are coo-1
scripted, and as honestd >gs should, enter
the fray withja’belligerent, spirited mein.
When peace has beau declared a big
ring is drawn on the clean, hard ground,
slivers pockets are turned wrong side out
to disgorge marbles of all sizes.and coins,
from the costly 10 cent “agate” to the
large glass “taw,” whose crystal center
is cleared by a special twist of red and
white and pink. How wonderful its con
struction, how fortunate its possessor,
how the sight of it causes a longing for
some of that red and white “peppermint
. candy,” which it so closely lesemblee.
By the strange subtlety of the transmis
sion of human desire, up wa ks dusky
itiah! Her eyes sbino like black dia-
I tnonds and her broad smile betokens peace
I and prosperity, for in her hands she bears
a plate of molasses candy, flavored with
orange p-el.
The game of marbles is forgotten!
Don’t y>u wish that y>u were a little
child today, sitting with that eager happy
crowd on top of the wood pile, eating
great
CHUNKS OF MOLASSES CANDY,
unhampered by any rule of etiquette as
you painted cheek, mouth and chin
with a thick coating of molten sweets?
Saturday afternoons are all over the
world, but none to compare to the Satur
day afternoons in the back yard.
“Rover” and “Tige” are sitting upstiff
and straight aa dignified, respectable
dogs should, the al.-rt expression of their
faces tells that something is going on,
and a good deal is going on. Dinah and
her biack descendants are sweeping the
, yard, and blowing up great clouds of
dead leaves and yellow sand, “cleanin’
up fur Sunday.”
Old Aunt Rachel is parching coffee,
boiling ham and baking light bread, and
through the kitchen window the mingled
odor of old government Java and the
, 'resbly baked bread is borne upon the
air.
This is not all that Aunt Rachel is
doing.
There is the sound of eggs being
beaten; the “bottles of flaverin ’’are
out and everything points to the speedy
manufacture of tea cakes. By and by
the smell of th) b owning cakes
is also drifted out into the
yard, and the youthful hunger
ca» stand it no longer,
AND BLACK AND WHITE
r ish pel) mell inti the kitchen. Aunt
Rachel scolds and threatens, but she
gives her cakes away just the same.
The pea, h tree switches are vibrating
| i 1 the evening air, and Dinah is vaguely
hinting as to the speedy necessity of their
being placed in the hands of the “mistis ”
But in spite of it all there comes another
wave of that delicious fragrance through
the kitchen window, and black and white
again charge into the kitchen. The
whites forcibly overcoming Aunt Rach
el’s scruples, and generously dividing
with the blacks, while “Rover” and
"Tige,” forgotten in the melee remiiu
mute images of despair. Aunt Rachel
afterwards says:
“Mistis, dars de ham au’ coffee an’
bread—but dem outdacious chillun never
lef nair single tea cake!”
THE DAYS OF THE PAST.
Oh! Time, as thou dost hasten us all
inevitably down the steep incline of life’s
rugged plane; as thou givesta little here,
1 >m'e what tjjeri-: as thou dost
pencil the face with linw of care, and
sprinkle the locks with gray; as the out
lines of the past grow dim like distant
hills enwrapt, grant that memory’s bells
may ever chime the notes of that blest
and musical existence, the happy time of
childhood, when all nature was our
storehouse and all heaven our canopy.
