Years have gone by—long weary years Of toil, to win my station now— Of ardent hopes and sickening fears, And wealth is mine—but where art thou? Fame's dazzling wreath for thy dear sake Grew brighter than before to me, I clung to all I thought could make This lonely heart more worthy thee. Years have gone'by—the laurel droops In mocking o'er my withered brow, A conquer'd world before me stoops. And fame ,is mine—but where art thou ? In life's first hour, despised and lone I wandered through the busy crowd. And now that life's best joys have flown. They greet with smiles and murmurs loud Oil ! for that voice—thy gentle voice, To breathe to me its welcome now ! Wealth, fittne and all that should rejoice, To me arc vain—fir where art thou? A ileac-latm Story. The editor of the Grand River Eagle give the following as the experience of a frien stopping at the Kalamazoo House : ' " You see, I went to bed pretty all-fire used up after a hull day on the old road befot I he plank was laid, kalkalatiti on a good snooze Wnal, just as the shivers began to ease otr, kinder felt sutbin' tryin' to pull off my shirt and digin' their feet into the small of my bac to get a good hold. Wiggled and twisted, an' purkcd—all no use—kept goin' it like all sin. Bimeby got up and struck a light to 100 around a spell—found about' a peck of bed bugs scattered around, and more droppin' o me shirt and iium& down my leg every mini Swept off a place on the floor, shook out quilt, lay down and Livered up in it for a nap. No use—no use— mounted right on to me, lik. a parcel of rats on a meat tub—dug a hole int. the kiverlid, and crawled through and givb m fits for tryinY to hide. Got up again, wcn down stairs and got the slush bucket from the wagon. Brought it up and made a circle o tar on the floor—lay down on the floor on the - - inside, and felt comfortable that time anyhow. Left the light bnrnin' and watched 'em. Sc 'cm get together and have a camp meetin' bou it, and then they went Win a squad, and witl an old grey-headed he one at top, right up th wall, out on the ceilin' till they got to the righ spot, then draped right into my face. Fact b thunder. Well, I swept 'em up.ngsin, an made a circle of tar "on the ceiling, too.-- Thought I had 'cm foul, that time ; but I swang to mad, if they didn't pull straws out of a bed, aud build a regular bridge over it !" Seein' an incredible expression on our visage, hi clenched the story thus : " It's so, whethei you believe it or not, and some of 'em waltzer gauss on !
