Robert ]. Walker.

The late Governor of Kansas, was born
in 1901, and is therefore %ifty-six years
old. His native place is Northumberland
Pennsylvania. His father served in the
Revolutionary War; and has held sew.
eral high offices in that State. Robert
J. Walker graduated from the UNIVERSE
ty of Pennsylvania in 1919 and was ad-
mitted to the bar at Pittsburg in 1921
He was a prominent actor in the cam
paign Of 1854, in favor Of Gen. jackson as
President. He moved to Mississippi in
in 1926 where he still continued a surpor-
ter Of Gen. Jackson. He was elected
Senator from that State in 1886. In 1916
he was appointed by President Polk Sec
rotary Of the Treasury. Since that time
he has been a manager of the great Pacif
10 Railroad scheme and numerous land
and Railroad speculations. Says an cx-
change In person Mr.. Walker is a
small, ba~ldheaded, busting little man,
with large selfesteem, sharp eyes and
nervous temperament He is a ready
writer, and with his energy
and elasticity Of mind and body, is calcu
lated to pass in the world, for all he il
warth."

Food Of the Mastodon.

Prof. Asa Gray states in SsUman's Jour
mai that he had recently had placed in his
hands specimens of earthly matter filled
with finely broken fragments of branches
OF trees. which were found in the skele-
ten Of a Mastodon exhumed at Schooley's
Mountain, N. J. The wood evidently
consisted Of ~branchlets Of one, two and
three years old, broken quite uniformly
into bits of half an inch in lenght, with
only low and then traces of the bark re-
naming on the wood. The wood was
not at all fossillized, and was but slight
ly decayed. From the appearance of the
branchlets exhumed, Prof. Gray inferred
that they belonged to some coniferious
tree or shrub, and probably to a kind OF
spruce fir, rather than to a true pine
This inference was born cut by the ex.
animation of thin slices of the wood by
the microscope. The woody fibre was
very beautifully and distinctly marked
with the circular discs that are charac,
~teristic Of all coniferious wood. The
structure agreed quite perfectly with thai
in similar branchlets Of the common hem
lock spruce.

Male commissioners

The most detestable of all characters, is
the male scandal monger, and he who ranks
next in the roll of despicable m is the
one who listens to his venomous lies with
out rebuking him. Woman's privilege to
talk of the faults of her n~eighbors seems to
be conceded. but the man who goes about
retailing scandal, may justly be regarded as
no better than he should be. He was a
shrewd individual, and a good member Of So
ciety, who realized one fortune by minding
his own business, and another by letting
others peoples alone, and it is a thousand
pities that his exaple is not universally imi-
tated. The man who attends strictly to his
own affairs, will find very little time to com
ment upon the shortcomings of his neigh.

MUSIC.
BYJ. o..

THAT man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not mov'd by concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for ~treasons, stratagems, and spells
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erbus
Let no such man be trusted"
SHAKESPEARE.
Music, sweet musici not now | sing
The fine strings Of the trumpets blast,
Whose hoarse notes to desperate conflict bring
The encount'ring hordes of armies vast:
Steel meets steel, as warlike shouts arise,
And groans and curses rend the skies.
Music, sweet music not now my lay
Stops to sing the notes Of "mellow horn,"
Accomp'n MED by the hounds deep bay,
Floating on the rosy breath of morn,
As steeds and riders, in their molly train,
Dash, in wild disorder, DER the plain.
No! Yet in my soul sweet melody
Falls as ~dew-drops on the dropping fow'r;
Beauty's fingers, gliding DER the key,
Invoke a strange resistless power,
That probes the heart, but does not tear,
And wakes responsive echoes there.
Music, dear music How blest tofeel,
As swells my bosom to thy song,
This breast cannot alone conceal
Designs of " stratagem" and wrong.
Charmless thou, unless awakes thy art
A sweeter concord within the heart.

| ..ever more could love thee now,
Though beauty's queen, with all her art,
Arrayed thee in the fairest charms
That ever won a faithful hearth
Alas thou hast deceived me once
Once thou hast bid my life despair;
I never more could love thee now,
Even vert thou celestial fair!
Thy budding lips may tremble forth
The blissful love thou hats to give;
Yet it does but lure thy victim on.
In painful doubt awhile to live
On such thy beauteous eyes may beam
The deep emotions of thy soul,
And thus from them low homage win,
But l defy thy proud control.
Thy flashing eye, thy cold fair cheek,
So beautifd BY natures bloom,
May ravish yet admiring throngs.
And with vain hopes their hearts consume
Thy charms have ceased, forever ceased,
0erm me that vain delusive might
Which bowed my souIi ia abject awe,
Before the shrine Of loves delight.
Iprize no more thy winning smile,
Nor dwell enrapturd on each tone.
That once held thrall'd my dreaming heart,
And tottered reason on her throne!
Wonder now what lured me on,
Awilling slave beneath thy power,
When found thy mockery all its might,
And my vain love its darkest hour!

Bl A certain divine Of Massachusetts
being called upon to offer PRAYER at a mas
sonic celebration, and not being initiated
into the secrets of the Institution, made
use of the following form:
20 Lordl We have come to offer our
prayer unto Thee, for what we know not.
If it be for anything good, wilt thou bless
it; and if it be for anything bad wilt thou
curse It'll"
On being demonstrated with on account
OF the nature Of this prayer by one of the
fraternity, he replied:

the cider as it runs"

Ills strange how soon the heart of MAJ
Its bitter pangs forget;
The eye is dry within an hour
That was with tear drops wet;
And sorrows tide though it may rush
Through the hearts of men;
Yet soon they smile as if the past
Had never. never been.
Though in the grave we lay FERNS
So dear unto us all;
And sorrows weight upon our hearts
With heaviness should fall;
Yet soon the memory of that hour
viii be as 'twere a dream;
And as a vision Of the past
Unto our souls shall seem.
Ills even SO, the bitter pangs
Which prey upon the heart;
Like storm clouds come across the soul,
And then again depart;
We for a season oft may feel
The widest deepest pain;
Yet soon the clouds of sorrow flee,
And all is joy again.
