The Retort.
BY O. P. MORRIS.


OLD BIRCH, who taught village school,
Welded maid of homcspun habit;
He was as stubborn as a mule,
And she as playful as a rabbit.
Poor Kate had scarce become a wife,
Before her husband sought to make her
The pink of country polished life,
And prim and formal as quaker.
One day the tutor went abroad.
And simple Kitty sadly missed him
When he returned, behind her lord
She slyly stole, and fondly kissed him.
The husbands anger rose and red
And white his face alternate grew:
"Less freedom, ma ami" Kate sighed and said
"Oh, dedr 1 didn't k,aop 't,cas you r

John Randolph Headed.

Randolph was travelling through part Of
Virginia in which he was unacquaiated !;
meantime, he stopped during the night at an
inn near the forks of the road. The innkeeper
was fine gentleman, and no doubt Of one Of
the first families in the Old Dominion. Know
ing who his distinguished guest was, he en-
deavored during the evening to draw him into
conversation, but failed in all his efforts. But
in the morning, when Mr.. Randolph was ready
TO start, he called for his bill, which, on being
presented, was paid. The landlord, still anx-
ious to have some conversation with him, be-
gan as follows:
(which way are you travelling, Mr.. Ran
dolph,'
Sir said Mr.. Randolph. with Look of
displeasure, 'have'nt paid my billy
Yes
DO owe you anything more,
NO.
Well. I'm going just where please-do
you undersiand,'
Yes
The landlord by this time got somewhat ex
cited, aud Mr.. Randolph drove off. But to the
landlords surprise, in few minutes the SER
want came to inquire for his master which Of
the forks Of the road to take.
Mr.. Randolph not being out of hearing dis
lance, he spoke at the top of his voice Mr..
Randolph, you don't owe me one cent Just
take which road you please

Iife's a railroad Hurry on:
Always keep a-going
Never stop to look at flowers
BY the wayside growing.
Never think of anything
But your present hurry;
What if you should lose train

What's the use of signing so
After beauty. lying
Half asleep beneath the trees
Where the winds are dying.
Where. through winding cattle-path
Creep the lazy hours;
And the slow-paced seasons walk
Ger unconscious flowers.
Beauty changes with the times;
Once she closes her shelter
In the shadowy solitudes.
Lest the sun might melt her.
Stronger-breathed, she dastes on,
Now from town to city; a
In a locomotive shape,
Nothing's half so pretty.
Life was once a trodden path,
Where the travellers CHEEKY,
Spoke to all they CHANGED to meet,
Or would rest. if weary.
Rest is now quite obsolete
Sips of slumber take you,
Careless who beside you sits,
Nor what chance may wake you. 81

is the gallant Breckenridge from Kentucky.
fresh from his laursls in Mexico. A young
man, but Of character far beyond his
years!"
This being related in presence Of Mr..
Webster. he replied: Though personally
unacquainted with Mr.. Breckenridge, he
knew his descent and reputation, and could
not but feel deeply grateful for such sen.
timent from political opponent"
The article concludes: at is the same
person who. refusing to return to the House
in which he had distinguished himself as g
leader, and refusing the mission to Spain
which so many much longer in public life
were striving for, returned to his home ir
Kentucky, with no other ambition than o
gaining an honest livelihood by his profes
sional pursuits. But great moral and in
tellectual excellence is not given to mar
alone for his own qualification, or for the
limited advantage OF his family. They be
long to che country which has given hin
birth. and John C. Breckenridge is, will
evident propriety, the candidate of his par
ty for the second Office in the gift Of thu
people. the Vice Presidency of the Unitee

had been made in the House of Represen-

A committee of the House, of whom Mr..
Jefferson Davis, now Secretary Of War.
was one. investigated the charge, and made
report entirely exculpaling Mr.. Webster
from the charge. The article thus pro-
ceeds:

PoLITESEss BETWEEN BROTHER AND SISTER.
BY endeayorlng to acquire the habit ofpo-
likeness, it will soon become familiar, and
sit on you with ease if not with elegance.
Let it never be forgotten that genuine po-
likeness is great fosterer of family love.
1t allays accidental irritation by preventing
harsh retorts and contradictions soltens the
boisterous stimulates the indolent, SUPPRESS
es selfshness, and, by forming habit OF
consideration of others, hormonizes the
whole. Politeness begets politeness, and
brothers may easily be won by it, leave of
the rude ways they bring home from school
or collage. Sisters ought never to receive
any little attention without thanking them
for it; never to ask a favor of them but in
courteous terms; never to reply to their
questions in monosyllables, and they will
soon be ashamed to do such things them
selves. Both precept and example ough'
to be laid under contribution, to convince
that no one can have really good manners
abroad who is not habitually polite at home
