An Incident IN the Life Of Judge Trum.
bull.

We were exceedingly interested few
months ago in reading letter written by
Hon. Lyman Trumbull from Washington
to an old friend and patron IN Connecticut,
modestly abiding 10 incidents IN las early
life, and TO the distinguished honors since
conferred upon him. One of these Incl
dents IS worth relating. When Il young
man, about . years OF age, Judge Trum-
bull came 10 Salem, Conn, from Norwich,
with all hls worldly possessions tied up in
cotton handkerchief, and strapped upon
his back. He was d total stranger in the
town, and with 40 other recommendation
or reference than was contained IN an
honest looking face, made application to
Mr.. .. NhitIesey, a brother Of the long
time efficient auditor of public accounts at
Washington, for situation for teacher Of
the district school. Mr.. w. who was .
school committee man, liked the, q boy 5
appearance" TO use his own language,
and made an engagement with him al SIC
month and board. ny oung Trumbull, if
we may believe the old residents of Salem.
kept a popular school, and was a great
fayorite with everybody, except few un-
ruly urchlns. After keeping the school
two terms. he decided that he had sufii-
cent funds to seek q fortune q out west, .
aud accordingly prepared to leave. On
the morning of his departure, Mr.. Whit
tlesev and a neighbor were expressing
complimentary opinions of their school
master TO each other, neither of them be-
;ng aware that the object of their conver-
sation was in an adjoining room. De
pend upon it." said Mr.. w, that young
nan will make a noise in the world we
shall hear Of him IN Congress from some
of those Western States, one of these
days" Young Trumbuil who could not
avoid hearing the remark, stepped into
tbs room through the partly opened do9E,
with a face sudused with bushes, and
coupled with his thanks hope that he
might be able to merit their good opinion.
Il never expected, however" he added,
''to reach SO high 4 position as a seat IN
Congress" He HAS reached such a posi-
tion, however, and today there is not a
man il. the councils of the nation, who is
more esteemed for his ability and integri-
~ than the Yankee school master. =
/ Mr. Trumbull has never forgotten Mr..

PYTHAGoRAs.-In a mathematical and
astronomical science, and in the useful
ness of his inventions, Pythagoras excell-
ed all the philosophers Of antiquity. He
invented the multiplication table he dis
covered that the three angles of every
triangle are equal to two right angles.
and that the square of the hypothenuse
equals the square of the legs; he taught
that the universe consists of four general
elements; that the sun is in the center of
our system; and that the earth revolves
around the sun that the moon reflects
the solar light; that the milky way con-
slsts Of multitude Of stars, that the dis
tance of the planets are in harmonious
proportion and was first to discover that
Venus is the morning and evening star;
and he was an advocate of temperance
and opposition to war.

Ere the twilight bat was fitting,
In the sunset, al her knitting,
Sat lonely maiden. sitting
Underneath her threshold tree
And. as daylight died before US.
And the yesper star shone Ger Us,
Fitful rose her tender chorus
"Jamie's on the stormy sea 20
Warmly shone the sunset glowing
Sweotly brea,hd the young dow'rs blowing
Earth, with beauty overAowug.
Seemed the home of love to be,
As those angel tones ascending.
With the scene and season blending,
Ever had the same low ending
"Janie's on the stormy sea p
Curfew bells remotely ringing,
Mingled with that sweet voice singing;
And the last red ray seem'd clingmg
Lingeringly 10 tower and tree
Nearer as l came, and nearer,
Clear rose the notes, and clearer;
OH twas heaven itself to hear her
Jamic's on the stormy sea p
" Blow. ye west wind llandIy hover
O'er tie bark that bears my lover;
Gently blow, and bear him over
To his own dear home and me
For, when night winds bend the willow,
Sleep forsakes my lonely pillow.
Thinking Of The foming billow
"Ja'nie's on the stormy ssa p
How could but list, but linger,
To the song, and near the singer,
Sweetly wooing heaven to bring her
jamie from the stormy sea;
And. while Yet her lips did name me,
Forth | sprang-my heart Ger came me
q" t'rleve no more, sweet, / ana Jamie,
Home returned to love and thee"
