A Revelation.
The mm dad I, the other day,

For she calls, when she comes this way,
Though badly a moment does she stay,
And seldom In! much to any

She found me alone in my easy chair.
The back has long been broken,

For I have often seen you there,
At the old deck, that has seen better fare.
And which is sadly out of repair,
And should lave a water‘s care.

“ You look,“ I replied, “both ugly and old
In your old-fashioned dresses.
Why! when you nre visiting others, I'm told
The finest silks you unfold.
That anywhere are sold,
With shoes shiny like gold :
While roses and dlnnoud- untold
Conflne your beautiful trout-1.
“ Why not on me, I ask, your favor: bee-tow.
As your other vourles win 2
Why talk to me on subjects so low.
In a timeless. rbymoless din t"
” Why. then, if you must know,"
She said with a smile.
“I adapt my style
To the company I Im in.
“ But, joking spurt. what is it. you claim l
I will grant the favor, I swam it;
That is if I am able, come. glvc It I name."
“ Then are at me once," I said, “ mm the flame
That 391th A. E., and lights bin to fame.
To a like object direct my aim.
Procurc for me a name as bright. not the same.
And teach me as humbly to wear it.“
She laughing replied, while her head ube «shook.
" In vain I ask you to take if.
For Apollo, while courting me. when a cook.
Down by the running brook,
Concealed his lyre in a quiet nook;
Which A. ll. obsen ed, nnd quickly look.
And none but A. If. can work it.“

The Happiest Time.
BY C. E. H.
The writer of this article is a young per-
son, being yet in his “ teens," and, therefore,
has not drawn conclusions from a long cx-
perienoe In life; but merely presented a few
ideas which seem to him reasonable, and
which his own life and his observations on
the lives of other and older persons prove to
be correct. When he uses the pronoun “ we,"
he means young people in general.
We are told that the years spent in child-
hood and youth constitute the happiest part
of this life's pilgrimnge from infancy to old
age; that in youth there is no cure, no anx-
iety, no sorrow ; that then life is all sun.
shine,,,full of gayety and pleasure, and dis-
, .turbcdby no and thought pf the future. On
the other band we are told that when a per-
son arrivfiat maturity, and is left. to pursue
the journey of life slmnnnided by patent:
or friends, obamcla begin to arise in the
way, which tend continually to lessen his
happiness : that in the place of youthful
pleasure come cares and troubles, disappoint-
menu, anxieties about the future, and many
deep and bitter sorrows, and that many
weary and grow sick at. heart and full by
the wayside. And so they tell us that youth
is the time of happiness. How often have
we been told this by our parents, in our day
school, in our Sunday school, and from the
pulpit. How many times we have read it in
books, magazines, and newspapers, especiA
ally in novels and short stories.
Now it is not. my purpose to afiirm that
there is no joy in youth and no sorrow in
manhood; but I do say that in youth there

joy as well as sorrow. The little girl 801'-

ing to her ability to withstand sorrow, as do
her father and mother over their worldly

lustrate this proposition; it is self—evident,
and illustrates itself to you every day. In
my m‘.\i proposition I join iSsne with those
who u-ll us that youth is the happiest time 7
of life; and may stand upon untenable
ground. but if I am in error my error is an
honest one.
1 have passed from childhood Lulu youth.
and are many years shall have passed from
youth into manhood, and have lived to
learn, or at lcmt to believe, that youth does
not constitute the happiest part of our
earthly existence, and that. not till the prime
of life, when man's mental and physical
faculties are fnlly developed, does he reach
his his highest slate of happiness. My life
has m-rluinly been happier during the past
year than during the one which preceded it,
and l lbink the majority of those who read
this can testify to the some. fact with regard
to their nwn “VPA. There may be. excep
lions. us there ure to almost every rule;
\vhil'h. lum‘t-ver. as they say. only go to

Nor is llris idea thin youth i.~ lln- lnippn-sl

‘ tune of life‘in accordance With the great
idea of pmgressirm. In these days men
have... stumped “ progress" upon almost
everything. Nations hove taken it ”their.

such lottery [but all the world can see them.
live-n heathen China, that has for these
many ages kept itself walled in from the
rest of the world, content with its same old
self, has at last thrown down the walls
of M-clubion and isolation, and said to the
world that it also was for progress. Science
also, and the arts are ever progressing. And
religions. especially the liberal, incorporate
it into their creeds as one of their funda-
mental doctrine-2i Skull man. then, confes
that what he so much admires in other
things is wanting in himself, in that which
makes life a blessing—happiness ?
Again this idea that youth is the happiest
time of life, if we should accept it from our
superiors as a truth, would have a tendency
to lessen or destroy our ambition. If we
thought that we had seen, or were now see-
ing, our happiest days, if we believed, when
we are told tbaf in the future we shall be
less happy, that it is according to the nature
of our being that it should be so, and conse-
quently whatever might. be our present life
the result. would be the same, should we be
apt to have as high aspirations, or be actu-
tuatcd by such noble motives as we should
if the reverse were the ease ? If we under-
stood that manhood was to be the happiest
time of our lives, and that now was the time
to fit ourselves for the f uture. and that the
more profitably we employed our present
time the happier we should be, would not
our aspirations and motives, our ambition,
be higher and more ennobling 2’ There. is no
danger, I believe, of exercising our ambition
too much. It. is n God-given quality in
man, the exercise of which was made abso
solutely necessary when he was driven from
the Garden of Eden to gain a livelihood by
his own toil; and anything which tends to
lessen our ambition does so much towards
lessening our future happiness.
Another objection to this idea is that it
tends to lessen the value of life in the minds
of tbecyoung. There seems to be three rea.
sons why men cling to this life so tenacious-
ly. The most. important one is on account of
the real happiness which i: ’éonmins, in spite
of those who try to make themselves and
the rest of mankind think otherwise. An-
other is the desire which men have to know
how they will; succeed in life; or, to use a
riosity is common to all men, and they are
especially ammo: living. out “13.59-

Cunei- of a flew York Counterfelter.
A youth named Dennis Harrison was ar-
rested at Cheyenne day before yesterday by
United States Detéctive T. B. Gladden, of
Cinema, on a charge of counterfeiting.
Harrison is the youngest son of a machinest
living in Columbus, Ohio. At. an early age
the boy developed a vicious disposition, and
was detected in an attempt to rob the United
States our on the Pan-Handle road. For
this offence he was sent to the House of
Refitge.
Finding the accommodations of this estab-
lishment unsuitable to bk fastidious taste, he
made such earnest precautions of piety and
repentance that he was allowed to return to-
his parents at Columbus. Here he again de-
veloped hisvbciom instinctsbybeoting his
mother, setting fire 09 the home and running
away. The next heard of him heis enlisted

after one year‘s service in the Whom,
he was drummed out of the army It Fort
Laramie. He was soon after taken, disguised
as an Indian, in an attack upon a. supply
train, together with another white renegade,
who was forthwith hung ton. tree. Harrison
was spared on account of his youth, and
taken to Fort. Halleck, whence he soon after-
ward escaped.
He became acquainted in Denver with a
desperate gang of stage robbers, and took
part in their attacks upon the overland mails
in 1864-5. He soon after left the West. and
returned home to Ohio, and joined the Meth-
odist. Church. He became acquainted with
a young country girl and married her, but
deserted her soon after. He became a brake-
mnn on the Central Ohio Railroad, but was
discharged for laziness. He was married
:gain in Zanesville and was arrested in New-
ark for seduction, but managed to escape the
deluded victim, will: some $900 in money.
He came to Kansas City in the winter of
1867, and assumed the character of a way-
ward son of a wealthy banker, East, made
his way into society, both here and in Wynn-
done.
Being good-looking and free with money,
he “took well,“ and became engaged to two
Kansas City‘s fair daughters. He remained
here a brief period, and left. the city and a
respectable family in Wyaudom: cursing him
and his deception. His next scene of rascal-
ity was at. a counter-falters den on Houston
street, New York. Here he became acquaint-
ed wltb tbeives, gamblers and counterfeiteis,
and being naturally smart and intelligent,
won became a leader of his fellow criminals.
He established a saloon which became the
bead-quarters of all the counterfeiters and
shovers of the queer in the country, and in
due time became an expert in the business.
When the counterfeit $50 Treasury notes

became one of the leaders of one of the
worst. gangs of counter-tellers in the United
States, and wns connected with the stealing

In 1866, the gang to which he belonged
went into the fractional currency business,
and to them the country is indebted for the
innumerable fifty and twentyfive cent notes
with which. every community, both east. and
west, was flooded, and it w” while in this
business that he was detected. In Novem-
ber, 18m, his gang had agents in all parts of
the country, to Whom they sent their word»
less currency for circulation. His boldness
getting the better of his discretion, he was
detected and arrested by 001. Wood, Chief
Detective of the Treasury Department, es-
