mind plenty of warm, generous, nice hearts
for the winning. Ii you are poor and have to
sell your free agency for q sixpence week to
some penurious relative, or be everlastingly
thankful for the gift of all old garment that
won't hang together till you get it home! just
go to work like ten thousand evil apirits, and
make yourself independent! and sec with wha.
a different pair Of spectacles you'll get looked
at Nothing like it, my dear you can have
every thing on earth you want when you dQn't
need anything.
Don't the Bible say, Ito him that hath shall
be givenl !" no mistake, you see. When the
wheel turns round with you on the top, saints
and angels you can do anything you like,
play any sort of prank, pout or smile, be
grave or gay, saucy or courteous, it will pass
musteri you never need trouble yourself-can't
do anything wrong if you try. At the most it
will only be, such an ''eceentricityW But you

will find out you are diamond till you get a
shosqy setting! you'll get knocked and cutfed
around, and roughly handled, with paste and
tinsel, and rubbish, till that auspicious mo-
ment arrives. Then won't all the sheaves
bow down to your sheaf2--not one rebeIlious
straggler left in the field But stay little.
In your adversely, found You one faithful
heart that stood firmly by your side and shared
your tears, when skies were dr. rk, and your
pathway thorny and steep, and summer friends
fell Of like autumn leaves2 By all that's noble
in woman's heart, give that one the first
place in it now. Let the world see one heart
proof against the sunshine Of prosperity. You
can't repay such friend-all the mtnes o.
Golconda could not do it. But in thousand
delicate ways, prompted by woman's uncr-
ring tact, let your heart come forth gratefully
generously, lovingly. Pray heaven be be Or

of sickness, and press lovingly his hand il

Mr.. BUCHANAN AND THE WIDOWS

removals made by Mr.. Buehanan's ad-
ministration, of the few women who were
appointed PostmasterS, and by this means
earned few pennies for their own sup
port and that of their children, thus ac.
counts for the Presidents hostility to the
widows:
"Mr. B. has probably been Tilted some
time By widow, and feels like reyepgine
himself by allowing none of them to hold
Office under him. It is a mean and amal
business though, to be turning widows
from petty little offices, to make room fol
