A man ought not to criticise his

memories cluster about that old bouse.
There was where I first met my parents.
It was at that time that an acquain
iniica sprang up which has ripened in
litter years into mutual respect and
esteem. It was thero that what
might be termed a casual meeting took
place that ha-, under the alchemy of
resist'ets ypars, turned to golden links,
forming a pluasaut but powerful bond
of nnion botweeo my parents and my
self. For that reason I hope that I
may be spured to my parents for many
years to come. There en that spot,
with no inheritance but a predispo
sition to prematnre haldntes and a bit
ter hatred to mm; with no peraoual
I rouerty but a misfit suspender and
a stono bruise, began a life history
which has never ceased to be a warn
ing to people who isll grectrits on

Tho prnprsil to build a railroad
ihrouiih the Yellowstone Park cannot
meet the approval of Congress without
incurring the odium of "jobbery," of
which it is already carrying a sufficient
lold. Thn people of Now York have
lioiio to immense expense to relievo
Niagara Falls of the presence of sharks
and 'peculators of every description,
nnd it is hardly possible that the
Congress of the United States will
consent to fasten a similar horde upon
the great and beautiful Park, which is
now justly regarded as the most won
derful, as it is the most beautiful
manifestation of Nature in her most
wayward freeks. A railroad would
be altogether out of place in the Park.
