THE OAK AND THE VIOLET.
BY MARY B. BELL.
From the Boston

From the Boston Courier
mighty oak was waving high,
Its giant branches to the sky;
When in the east the mornings light
Dispersed the gloomy shades at night
While underneath its foliage grew,
A violet tinged with heavenly blue.
The v Olet looked with envious eye,
Upon the oak thus wSvisg high;
Unnotieed meath its kingiy shade,
In death my ylovely tints sh Ill fade;
Thus sighed the violet, while her tears
Fell thick upon the moss of years.
'Tis morn again; tutwhere is now
The oak that crowned the mountains brow;
Go ask the fiery lightning red,
Where has its lofty spirit fed?
The branches to the earth are cast,
Its day of pride forever past.
The lovely violet still did rest.
In peace amid the mossy nest.
The deadly lightning passed by her,
To blast the oak which lowered high,
Sweet violet thon didst trembling see,
A happier fate reserved for thee.
When envy steals within the heart,
And bids its flowers of peace depart;
When sullen discomfort draws near,
Noos thee TO seek loftier sphere,
Think the proud oak which lowered high,
Fell ST beneath a stormy sky.

SOME NosE.-The following incident we
had from friend who knew the party
Deacon c., of Hartford, Con-, is well
known as being provided with an enormous
handle to his countenance, in the shape of a
huge nose-in fact, it is remarkable for its
great length.
On late occasion, when taking up collec-
ton in the church to which the deacon be-
longs, as he passed through the congregation
every person to wnom he presented the bag
seemed to be possessed by a sudden and un-
controllable desire to laugh.
The deacon did not know what to make Of
it. He had often passed round before, but no
such effects had he witnessed. The deacon
was fairly puzzled
The secret, however, leaked out. He had
been afflicted for day or two with sore on
the end of his nasal appendage, and had plac-
ed small piece Of sticking plaster over it,
During the morning Of the day in question,
the plaster had dropped off, and the deacon
seeing it, as he supposed, on the floor, picked
it up and stuck it on again
But alas, for men who sometimes make
great mistakes, he pick up instead, one OF those
pieces of paper which the manufacturers o
spool cotton, paste on the end of every spool
and which read
Warranted to hold out 200 yards" Suct
sign on such nose was enough to upset th'

Governor D., of no matter what State, was
a plain, farmer like man-in fact, aside from
his political Office, his profession was that of a
farmer. He had an orchard behind his house
to which he paid great deal of attention.
In personal appearance, the Governor was
not very prepossessing. He was tall and gaunt,
and when about his work was generally in the
habit of wearing faded dressing gown,
which was of exceeding length, coming
near to his feet.
1t chanced one day that gentleman, fash
ionably dressed, called at the Governors resi-
dence and inquired for him. He was in quest
of certain office which lay in the Governors
gift.
He is not at home just at present." said
Mrs. D., but if you will come in and take a
seat, no doubt he will be along soon.''
The visitor accepted the invitation and seat

conversation with the Governors lady. II be-

astonished. "No,'' said she, we never en-
ploy any"
& Why, L am sqtistc sure I saw one N ore of
the trees, rugged up in q long futtering robe.'
81 don't think Mr.. D. has put any one into
the orchard. You can look from the window;
and perhaps you will see the object which you
mistook.'
"There it is now''-was the reply, as he
pointed out figure standing on a limb of one
of the trees, dressed in pair of oVeralls, with
faded robe futtering in the breeze" that's

A SHARP JURY.-A few years ago, when the
famous reform measure, the County Court"
system, was in vogue, there was trial called
on IN one of the interior counties in Michigan.
| a jury was called; the case was heard. and
the twelve wise men withdrew to deliberate.
AT er short absence, they returned into
court and took their seats. The roll being
called, the judge asked. them if they had
lagreed upon verdict. -
Foreman-Young man, we have.
Judge-Well, sir, for whom do you fnd77
Foreman-For ourselves
Judge-What do you mean, sir?
Foreman-We mean that we have found q
verdict for one of the parties, which you can
have by paying our fees
Judge-But, sir, you have been regularly
empannelled and are bound to deliver your
verdict now, and look to the county for your
pay.
Foreman-Now Judge, don't talk SO. It's
no use; Pll be hanged if you can have the
verdict until you pay us our fees. We under.
stand how to get our pay in the County Court,
but this one horse court we don't understand.
