Old Women with Juvenile Man.


A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times,
who calls himself "Invisable Green," is re-
sponsible for the following:
1t was after we had been convened by
steam and rail to the depot of the Balti-
more road, and were impatiently awainling
the signal for departure, that my attention
was directed to fair specimen of numer-
ors class of ladies in the Eastern States
She was a women of thirty-ive or forty
years of age, the mother of l don't know
how many children, but two were with
her. Her dress indicated plenty of cash.
A small spaniel crouched at her feet, and,
seemed more of a favorite than her chill
dren. She had joined US some where up
the Delaware, was going beyond Philadel-
phia, and, as judge from her actions, ek-
pected to meet some one at the Philadel-
phia depot. She said:
"Why don't dey tum? lookee an
lookee, an dey don't tum. Poly, dear, Ito
the dog) why don't dey tum?"
The dog answered with wag of HE
tail, and she peered through the windows,
first one and then another. Finally, she
joyously exclaimed;
"Oh, dar's Harree, Poly, dear, ito the
dog;) they've tum, they've tum."
Then tapping on the car window TO at
tract "Harree's" attention, she sang out in
a delicate, squeaking tone:
"Harree, I'm here; don't you hear me,
Harree?"
Harry, who was fashionable deessed
young man, did not hear, however; so she
bid "Polo dear" to lie down, and then, with
a sort of schoolgirl prance, triped along to
the door, and called him again and again,
until she attracted his attention. Harry
was glad to see her-told her that Lilly
was in the other car, and offered to conduct
her to Lilly or Lilly to her.
"rl tum to Lilly" she said. "Bless the
dear, is she well. You take de children,
an I'll take Poly, dear Harree."
Then she pranced back to her seat, af-
fectionately took her dog in her arms, and
pranced off to the other car. Now her
mode of speech and her style of carriage
was all affected to appear young. "Baby
talk" she supposes, aids her materially in
the falsehood, and her girlish prance con-
firmed it. Though, as l stated, she is
probably forty years of age, she is willing
to add that she has never seen twenty-five,
and if she has children whose very appear
ance will contradict the story, they are far
away at bording-school, and are permitted
to visit home very seldom. say this class
of women are very numerous in the East,
in the vicinity Of Philadelphia
and New York. You can hear 'baby talk"
in every species of respectable conveyance,
and very often be diverted with their
attempts to assume girlish gait. They
are the most miserable q mothers, and
generally produce children who are discred
table to their name, and are useless in
the world.

King soIoman,s Blacksmith.

And it came to pass when Solomon the
son of David, had finished bis temple al
Jerusalem, he called unto him the chief
architects and head artifcers and cunning
workers in silver and gold, and in ivory
and in stone-yea, all who aided in rear
ing the temple of the Lord, and he said
unto them:
"Sit We down at my table; have pre-
pared Il feast for my chief workers and
cunning artifcers. Stretch forth your
band therefore, and eat and drink and be
merry. Is not skillful artifcer deserving
Of honor? Muzzle not the OK, that tread
eth out the corn"
And when Solomon and the chief work
men were seated, and the fatness of the
land and the soil thereof were set upon
the table, they came one who knocked
loudly at the door, and forced himself into
the festal chamber. Then Solomon, the
king, was wroth and said:
"What manner of man art thou?"
And the man answered and said:
"When men wish to honor me, they call
me Son of Forge; but when they desire to
mock Inc they call me blacksmith, and
seeing that the toll of working in fire and
smoke covers me with sweat and smut,
the latter name, O, King, is no more inapt
and in truth thy servant desires no better.
"But," said Solomon, "why came you
thus rudely, and unforbidden to the feast,
where none save chief workers of the Tenn
pie are invited?"
"Please We my lord, I came rudely," re-
piled the man, "because thy servant OBJ
liged me to force my way, but came not
unbidden. Was it not proclaimed that
the chief workmen were invited to dine
with the King of Israeli"
Then he who had carved the cherubim
said:
"This fellow is no scul lptor."
And he that inlaid the roof in pure gold
said:
"Neither is he worker of fine metals"
And he who raised the walls, said:
"He Is not a cutler of stone"
And he who made the roof cried out:
"He is not cunning in cedar wood, nei-
ther knoweth the mysteries of uniting
pieces of strange timber together"
Then said Solomon, "What hast thou
to say Son of Forge, why should not Or
der thee to be plucked by the beard, scour-
ged and stoned to death?"
Then the smith turned to him who car
we'd the cherubim and said:
"Who made the tools with which you
carved ?"
And he said "lhe blacksmith"
And he said to the chief of the ma
sons:
"Who made the chisels with which the
stones of the Temple were squared?'
And he said: "lhe blacksmith"
And he said to the chief of the workers
in wood:
"Who made the tools with which you
hewed the trees in Lebanon, and formed
them into pillars and roof of the Temple?"
Then he said to the artifcer in gold and
in ivory:
"Who makes you the instrument by
which you work beautiful things for my
lord the king?"
And be said: ''the blacksmith"
Enough, enough, good fellow" said
Solomon, "lhat hast proved that l invited
thee, and thou art mans father in art
Go and wash the smut of the forge from
thy face, and come and sit at nv righ
hand. The chief of the workmen are bu
men thou art more.'

TO FRIEND DYING OF CONSUMPTION
BY BELLA z. MINTER.

They tell me thou art dying. dear,
That hectic roses on thy cheek
Tell of Thy passing. fading life,
Palmer far than words can speak.
They say witfia thy violet eyes
A fire consuming ever burns,
And to thy lips and pallid brow
The tint of health no more returns.
They say, as days passed slowly by,
Thy weary step more languid grew.
And tears of suffering from thine eye
Fell soft as pearly morning dew.
And, too, they tell me thou art sad
To feel thou soon must pass away,
And leave the friends 10 you SO dear
The earth so fair, so bright, SO gay.
Ahl would that Icould by thy side
Now kneel and whisper words of love,
I'd show thee how thy bark may glide
Der deaths cold sea to realms above;
How sweetly thou could'st sink to re t,
If on the Sayior's bosom kind
Thy head was pillowed. and thy breast
Could feel the love that Faith may find.
Farewell, dear friend, last farewell,
And Oil l pray you not despair.
Think from the scenes yoUlove SO dear,
You go to dwell in those more fair.
Zen as the flowers in Autumn fall,
And yield their sweets to Winters strife,
The incense of pure young lifel

The Deacon and the Irfshman.

A few montl ago as Deacon ingalls,, of
Swampscott, R. l., was travelling through
the western part of the State of New York
he fell in with an Irishman who had latey
arrived in this country, and who was in quest
of a brother who had come on before him
and settled in some of the diggings of that
vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man, a true
Catholic, and had never seen the interior
of Protestant church. 1t was a pleasant
Sabbath morning that brother Ingalls, met
Pat. who inquired the road to the nearest
church.
Ingalls, was good and pious man. He
told Pat he was going to church himself,
and invited his new made ACQUAINTANCE to
keep him company thither, his place of
destination being small Methodist mee-
ting-house near by. There was great re-
vival there at the time, and one of the dea-
cons (whom by the way, was very small in
stature) invited brother Ingalls, to take a
seat in his pew. He accepted his invita-
ton, and walked in, followed by Pat, who
looked in vain to find the alter, &c. After
he was seated he turned to brother Ingalls,,
and in whisper which could be heard all
around, inquired:
"Sure, an isn't this hereto church o.
"Hush" said ingalls,, "If you speak
loud word they will put you out"
"Devl word will spake, at all, at ALL"
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened with prayer
by the pastor. Pat was cycling him very
closely, when an old gentleman who was
standing in the pew directly in front of Pat,
shouted "glory!"
"Hist-s-t, ye clear divil," rejoined Pat,
with his loud whisper, which was plainly
heard by the minister, abe dacent, and don't
make blackguard of YOURSELF"
The parson grow more and more felvent
in his devotions. Presently the deacon
uttered an audible groan.
"Hist-s-t, ye blackguard; have ye no
dacency at all, at ALI" said Pat, at the
same moment giving the deacon a push
in the ribs, which caused him nearly to
lose bis equilibrium. The minister stopped,
and extending his hand in a supplicating
manner, said:
"Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in
his way. Will some one put that man
,ut?"
"Yis, your riverince," shouted Pat ~
will" and suiting the action to the word,
,e collared the deacon, and, to the utter
horror and astonishment of the pastor,
'rother Ingalls, and the whole congregation,
le dragged him through the aisle, and with
! tremendous kick he landed him in the
'estibdle of the church. !,

Mr.. SIcxLEs.-The New York cores
pondent of the Charleston s. c, Courier
has the following:
A rumor obtains very generally here,
that the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles had expe-
rienced a change of heart, and that be con-
templates connecting himself with some
Church. His former friends say that they
have noticed a. marked difference in his
conduct recently. At Washington, he
leads a very different life from what be once
did in this city. Before he leaves the Cap
itol it is thought be will make public
profession of Christianity. After that I
doubt if he will follow the vagaries Of
public, political life. In view Of these cir
some of Sickles' most sincere
friends almost wish to see him ousted from
Congress by A. ]. Williamson, who con-
tests the seat Of the Third Congressional
District.

Draw my footsteps back to Thee
Set my struggling spirit free,
Save me from the doubts that roll
Der the chaos of my soul
Let one ray of truth illume
And dispel the think ming glooml

Hear my prayerl
Draw my restless thoughts above
Keep them therel
Father, save me at this hour,
From the tempter's fearful power
Purify the hidden springs
OF my wild imaginings-

Searched for peace still search is vain;
Out of Thee l cannot find
Rest for the immortal mind.
Now l come to thee fer aid
Peace restore!
Let my soulon Thee be stayed
