Bayard Taylor.

This young man is fast making
himself solid and brilliant reputa-
ton as a traveller and writer. He is
now in Asia, on his way to penetrate,
if possible, the inner provinces of ia
pan. The following beautiful and
touching incident in his life, is not
generally known. 1t is copied from
a biographical sketch of him by X.
Ii. Stoddard. Taylor was born at
Kennels Square, Penn, on the 18th
of January, 1925, and is now only %
years of age. After speaking of his
tour to California, his biographer
says:
"On his return to the United States,
Taylor resumed his desk and duties
in the Tribune office, where he re-
manned until the summer of-ls5l.
But in the meantime change came
over the spirit of his dreams; the
friend of his early poems, The Lii
an of his Rhymes of Travel died.
Years before, they had betrothed
themselves in sincerity and truth, and
it was their only wish in life to call
each other by the endearing names
ofwife and husband, two ofthe sweet
est and most holy words ever uttered
on earth. For years the marriage
was deferred, perhaps, says DR.. Girls
void i'm an aHectionate alIusion to the
circumstances, for the poet to make
his way thro' the world; and when he
came back from California there was
perceived anothercaus for deferring
it--she was in i'll health, and all that
could be done for her was of no a.
vail; and the suggestion came, the
donbt, and finally the terrible convic-
ton, that she had the consumption
and was dying. He watched her,
suffering day by day, and when hope
was quite dead, that he ght make
little journeys with her, and minister
to her gently, as none could, but one
whose lig ut came from her eyes, he
married her; while her sun was set
ting, he placed his hand in hers that
he might go down with her into the
night. There are not many such
marriages; there were never any ho-
lier since the father humankind look
ed up into the face Of our mother.
She lived few days, q few weeks,
perhaps, and then he came back to
his occupations, and it was never
mentioned that there had been any
such events in his life. Could the
sanctity of private letters be exposed
to the public eye, his grief and man
illness on the occasion, would shed
new lustre upon his character. But
why allnde to these things? 1t is
the old sad story; the beloved have
been dying, and the bereayed have
been weeping for them ever since
time began. Exchange paper.

Fast Men.

The vicious die early. They fall
like shadows, or tutuble like wrecks
and ruins into the grave, often while
quite young, almost always before
forty. The wicked ''liveth not half
his days" The world at once ratilies
the truth, and assigns the reason bv
describing the dissolute as fast men
that is, they live fast; they spend
their twelve hours in six, getting
through the whole day before the
meridian, and dropping out of sight,
and into darkness while others are in
the glow and glory of life. Their
sun goes down while it is yet day.
And they might have helped it. You
men of genius, like Burns and Byron,
to whom, when dissipated and prof:
ligate, thirty seven is so fatal; and
your obscure and nameless wander
ing stars who waste their youth in
libertine indulgence, they cannot live
long. They must die early. They
put on the steam till they blow up
the boiler. They run at such rate
that the lire goes out, for want of fuel
The machinery is destroyed by reck-
less and rapid wear.-Nothing can
save them. Their physical system
cannot stand the strain theyp put it to;
while the state Of their minds is often
such that the soul would eat the sub
stance OF the most robust body, and
make for itself way of escape from
the incessant hell of its own thoughts.

The DAD Brown jug.

Jonas Kicks, Of Portland, Maine,
was emphatic ally good fellow, but
he had a weakness. 1t could not be
said to be love of gain, for his heart
was free and his hand could never
remain long closed over a sixpence.
Neither was it the love of woman, or
Neal Dow; for at forty he was still a
bachelor, and the originator of the
liquor law he regarded with as pure
a hatred as he did the law itself 1t
was a prediction, and strange
one, for an old brown jug which was
always well filled with Otard.
One night, meeting with some
kindred spirits" he got his ideas SO
completely elevated that he was to-
tally unfit to "tread upon the vile
earth,'' and at length, while attempt
ing to balance matters and find his
way home, he pitched into a very
quiet looking individual, who, per-
ceiying his situation, kindly assisted
him to his apartments in the hotel
where Jonas boarded. Being a
Waterman and a rigid liquor law
man, upon discovering the old brown
jug conspicuously upon a table, he
raised his club to demolish it. But
Jonas -soized his uplifted arm and
thus addressed him:
z Watchman, Spare that jug
Touch no. 4. sinale dret H. - =
me many 4 tug, and will be its prop
Twas my forefather's hand that plac
ed it in his cot. There, Waterman
let it Standby club shall harm il
not. That old familiar jug whose
credit and renown are known to many
a mug, and wouldst thou smash i
down? Waterman, forbear thy blow
Break not its earth brown clay; mol
make the liquor flow; but let that ole
jug stay"
The Waterman could not stand sc
powerful an appeal, and after leav
ing a pamphlet of the Maine liquor
law, which Jonas used next day 70
shaving papers, he took his depart
ure.

mot long since, the President, in
an afternoon ride with his estilnable
lady and a female friend was brought
up by the gate upon the Columbia
turnpike, on the opposite side of the

in his pockets in vain for the requisite
shilling. The President searched
his. But, alas, not a solitary shilling

was the President ofthe United States,

all right by promising to pay the shil-

UTBig Turtle, chief of the Wy
andotte Indians, who removed from
Ohio to the Indian Territory, writes
concerning their present condition.:
"Our improvements, when apprais-
ed, amounted to upwards of 1927 900,
which was paid us in the autumn of
1915. In the spring of 1850, our
chiefs retroceded the granted tract
to the government, and 100000 of
the government stock-making our
present annuity $22 900.
"We have two churches, one a
splendid brick edifice nearly finished.
We have three district schools in ac-
tive operation; under the immediate
supervision of the council We have
two hourishing sabbath schools, with
good libraries. We have a large
temperance society, and a Division
of the Sons of Temperance about to
be formed. And as for our agricul-
tural pursuits they are carried on
profitably, every year yielding sur
plus fo9 the market. Our general
thrift surpasses any class north of
the Arkansas line. In short, we are
in far better circumstances than when
living in Ohio. The nation general
ly is contented and happy"
