And memories of a by-gone day Before my vision rise. How often my lost darling wore The sweetbrlar green I She loved It more Than many tinted bloom; It often graced her maiden breast, Now, planted where she lies at rest, It beautifies her tomb. My little love in days of old! Youth's morning-hour of rose and gold Comes back to me to-night; I see her in her girlish grace, The sunny sweetness of her face, Her childish robe of white. I smell the sweetbrlar In her hand, I see the garden where we stand On England's southern shore; I hear the rippling streamlet fall, I hear her laughter musical. Now silenced evermore. She was too frail for earth's employ, Too calm and pure for human Joy, But like the sweetbrlar green. The memory of her gentle life Makes sweet the years of worldly strife That lie our lives between.

New York Sun. Cleveland, July 31 Your corres pondent, after the trotting meeting was over found Mr. O. H. Ilickok, part owner and driver of St. J ulien, at the Kennard house. Mr. Hickok shook the reporter warmly by the hand and said : "I wish to publish in the Sun the fol lowing challenge I will match St. Ju lien for $5,000 or $10,000 a side against any trotter or pacer in the world, for any distance, either a quarter, half, three-quarters or a mite, or further, Maud S, or the sensation pacer Sorrel Dan, who was sold last week to Ira Bride, for Chicago parties, for $12,000, preferred." "Mr. Hickok, will you tell me how you train St J ulien V" "Yes, sir. When I first began with him he would not go fast, from the score, and was very nervous. I knew it would be no use to bring St Julien East and trot him in the circuit among the gang until I learned him to behave himself. First, I got a long whip and tapped him on the neck in his exercise, and then I eave him his work in the truck in har ness, with a running horse on one side of him and a pacer on the other. Both went to saddle. When St Julien would out trot the pacer I'd tell the boy on the running horse to put him to the top of his sDeed. uy adopting tnac mecnoa sc Julien got to be a very steady horse. Then I knew he; oould beat any horse in the world, barring Rarus." "What made you think Rarus could beat St Julien V" tWell. Til tell you. I took a ride one mornine out to Oakland park, in Cali fornia, and saw John Splan jog Rarus a mile in 2 :15. I then and there said that Rarus is the fastest trotter that ever stood on iron. When I got back to the citv I saw Bndd Doble and said : I ookea at tne ereaiesi norse in me country this morning.' .'What horse is that? asked BuddJ 'Rarus,' I replied. 'Oh. vou don't mean it,' said Budd. 'Whv. Budd.' I said, 'he can beat any horse you ever drove or saw trot ih your life.-' would not believe Rarua was anv such norse it l naa not .seen aim nprform a mile at his ease in 2115.'

On their lefore last, Talmage and his wife were temporarily assigned to a room en the first floor of the Clarendon, from which the clerk yesterday offered to change them to an especial apartment near the parlor, usually occupiedby Gov. Pitkin and like distinguished guests. Mr. Talmage inspected the apartment and said to the porter: "I guess we will take both rooms ; we are nervous from the effects of our trip, and I do not care to disturb Mrs. Talmage.? So Mrs. Talmage kept the first "room while Mr. Talmage took possession of the other. Last evening he lectured at the city hall on "Big Blunders." It Was 1050 o'clock when he dismissed his audience, and he was rapidly driven to the hotel. Half an hour was spent in preparing for the work before him, and Mr. Tal mage was ready to set out. With a solitary companion to guide him, the preacher quit the hotel about 11 o'clock and entered Harrison avenue, which, at that hour, is always tilted with a busy crowd of people "engaged on various errands, thronging the sidewalks and elbowing each other in a ceaseless tide. They crossed the street and stopped in front of the Board of Trade saloon without entering, Mr. Talmage being informed by his guide that a man had been shot over a gambling table there on Mondav night The parson content ed himself with a curious glance down the polished bar-room floor and into the gambling hall beyond the open cur tains. He and his company then re crossed the street and entered Wyman's gamblin saloon, where Mr. Talmage stopped long enough to obtain a full view of the little crowd of players seat ed about half a dozen green tables and watching with breathless interest the progress of the games. From here Mr. Talmage proceeded to what is known as the "Texas," another gambling saloon, where music and a good lunch relieved the monotony of faro, and where the crowd present was equally large about the different tables. Here Mr. Talmage was recognized by one of the gamesters,and in an instant was the cynosure of every eye in the room. He beat a hasty retreat, reaching the street, thence continuing his visit to three other gambling-rooms on Harrison avenue, where he was thoroughly in itiated into the secrets of poker, keno and roulette. The preacher and his companion then turned down the street and proceeded to visit the dance-houses. The first of these at which Mr. Talmage stopped and entered was the Odeon. His companion led half way down the hall, Mr. Talmage timidly pausing a few feet from the door, and watching the girls as they threaded the mazes of the dance in wild abandon. The boor manager, not recognizing him, ap proached Mr. Talmage and asked him to lead a set, but the invitation was politely declined, and, as soon as he could get his guide once more within reach of his voice, they stepped out and continued down the street until the Red-Light dance hall was reached, where they entered, the preacher timid ly inquiring several times of his guide it ail the men carried arms. Thus the rounds were completed from Harrison avenue to .fine, and Mr. Talmage had viewed all the sights to been seen in this delectable region. In the first dance-house visited, Talmage had been recognized by one of the girls, and he was glad when he found himself once more beyond, the bold inspection of the frequenters of the place, to whom h:s presence became known almost as soon as he had set foot inside the door. He wished to have a glance at the female gamblers before retiring, but on con sulting his watch found it was past 12 o'clock, and determined to defer his visit until to-night. He returned to the hotel and occupied his room till morn1 ing. A Centenarian on a Journey. Rochester Union, July 24. This morning the Buffalo train had on board a rare speciman of manhood in the person of James Ludlow, of Ber gen, who was going on a visit to, his youngest daughter living in uneida.

Much ridicule . pas been cast upc n the dsplomacy of our politicar othcers in Afghanistan, and some stories are told of the methods by which the astute Fathans have succeeded in raising funds at our expense.
