topics of the day a matter of investi

es of the great men. I read them iu
d.iyti ne, and John would go through
them at night. Then we took up such
»otks as DeQ'iiucy, the writings of
Carlyle, and, though John Morrissey
was a gambler, and by his profejsiou
made many enemies who frowned up
on him, he was possessed of knowl
edge on many subjects independent of
city politics and horse ra-ing which
would have put to blu«h his sternest
critics had they been placed In compe

“1 <1 »n’t think «o. He would mv :

I could continue thi« talk of Mrs.
Morn-s* y’s and much that she «aid
would be of interest; but I will only
repeat her last remark as I left her;
“We had ten children. I «et here

my ambition for my own lies buried.”
Flie tears started to her eyes as she

necessities of a peoj le which have
heretofore patronised Roseburg, end
who to day would do the same thing
if those whom their p.st conduct has
proven were their favorites would do
heir part in making good roads, by
(lie expenditure of u like sum of mon
