.scmantic Incident-Parentn Of
jefferson

Ma Jeferson's 5 father was poor. but an indus
trious and intelligent mechanic; and, as society
was constituted in Virginia, he was wholly ex-
eluded fro n the ranks Of the sristocracy, and
could have no hope Of forming family oonnec-
ton with them but for the following incident
One Of the Randolphs wishing some repairs to
be made on the doorsteps of his mansion, and
having heard Of the expertness Of the young
carpenter, Jefferson, who resided in the same
parish, sent for him to come and do the work
In this family there were several beautiful and
accomplished daughters who were the acknowl-
edged bellies Of that part of the country while
one Of the sisters was so far behind the rest Ell
ther in accomplishments or the faculty OF show
ing off to advantage, that she was subject to
mortifying neglect by the young men who
thronged the establishment being generally left
at home while her more favored sisters were ta-
ken off for the constant rounds Of parties and
pleasure excursions in vogue among the wealthy
families Of the place. It was daring one Of
these instances Of neglect that Jefferson hap
pcncd at work on the steps the respectful at
tentions he then had a chance Of paying the
sighted girl, so strongly affected her with the
contrast with those she had been accustomed to
receive from all other young gentlemen who
were admitted to the house, that her actions soon
revealed to the quick eye of the ambitious young
mechanic condition of heart that he thought he
might improve with advantage. And acting on
that belief he pcrscvcre6, and so well proiited
by his opportunities that within few days
mutual engagement was formed, and runaway
match concocted and carried into effect There
was, to be sure, terrible rumpus kicked up by
the proud Randolphs when it was discovered
that one Of the family had disgraccd herself and
them, as they esteemed it by running away
with, and marryinga poor mechanic But find
ing there was no help for it. and learning, upon
inquiry, that the young man was as smart as he
was bold, they at length recalled the truant
daughter with her husband, installed them into
the family, and gave them their patrimony.
From this match sprung, we believe, two sons
and several daughters, a part of whom, like
Thomas Jefferson, the subsequent statesman
and President strikingly inherited the intellect
ual characteristics and enterprise Of the father,
and the other part the quite ordinary and com
moi pla e traits of the mother.

The Struggles OF the Poor.

PovERTY falls most heavily on those who have

such sufferers. Here is an illustration from q

On. wonderful stream is the river OF Time,
Asa runs through the realms Of tears tvJ
with faulilcss rythm and a musical rhyme,
And a broad'ning sweep and a surge sublime,
That blends with the ocean Of years.
How the winters arc drifting like fakes Of snow
And the summers like buds between, lgo
And the year in the sh,ae-so they como and they
On the rivers bret with its ebb and flow.
As Il glides through the shadow AMI sheen
There's musical isle on the river Of Time,
Where the softest Of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and tropical cline,
And a soag as sweet rs vespcr chime,
And the Junes With the roses are staying.
And the name Of this island is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows Of beauty and bosoms Of snow
There are heaps Of dust but We love them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer; strings,
There's lutte unswept, and harp without
There are broken vows and pieces of rings,
And the garment that SHE used to wear
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air; lroar
And we someti mes hear through the turbulent
Sweet voices we heard in the days gone before
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remembered for aye be that blessed isle.
All the days Of our life till night smile,
When the evening comes with its beautiful
And our eyes are closed to slumhcr awhile,
Nay our "grccnwood' Of soulbe in sight.

the sunny side Of peach, and ripe, cherry
kind of lips.
We've great many other disagreeable
things, and 1 confess weakness for bright

All very well if the gentleman in posses

allow them to remain among the clouds, high
above all sublunary tolls aud turmoils. But
