John Randolph Outdone.

Of the many anecdotes Of this eccentric
man of Roanoke, we don't believe the
following was ever in print:
He was travelling in part OF Virginia
with which he was unacquainted. In the
meantime, he stopped during the night at
an inn near the forks of the road. The
inn keeper was a fine old gentleman, and
no doubt one of the first families of tho
Old Dominion. Knowing who his dis
tinguished guest was, he endeavored to
draw him into conversation, but failed in
ali his efforts. But in the morning, when
Mr.. Randolph was ready to start he called
for his bill. which, on being presented.
was paid. The landlord, still anxious to
have some conversation with him, began
as follows
(Which way are you travelling Mr..
Randolph ?"
"Sir," said Randolph, with look Of
displeasure.
II asked" said the landlord, (Which
way are you travelling ?"
"Have L paid my bill ?"
eyes"
"Do [ owe you anything more :"
"No."
swell, am going just where / please
do you understand ?"
"Yes'
The landlord by this time got somewhat
excited, and Mr. Randolph drove Off
But to the landlords surprise, in a few
minutes the servant returned to inquire
which of the forks of the road to take
Randolph not being out of hearing dis
tance, the landlord spoke at the top of his
voice:
"Mr. Randolph you don't owe me one
cent just take which road you please"
1t is said that the air turned blue with
the curses of Randolph.

biography Of a Statesman.

Some thirty years ago, says the Pitts
burg Ariel, barefooted boy foated down
the Susquehanna on humble raft, and
arrived at Harrisburg. He came from
the North, and belonged to large family;
all his worldly goods were tied up in a
pocket handkerchief He sought and
obtained employment in printing g-office
as an apprentice.
From an apprentice to journeynan,
from journeyman to reporter, from
reporter to an editor-the printer. boy
walked his way, against obstacles which
the suffering poor only know. The per-
severance with which he followed in
Franklin's footsteps began to realize for
him the fruits of toll and privation.
The young aspirant became printer to
the State, and by frugal management was
soon enabled to accomplish the object
nearest his heart-the establishment of
his mother in home above want and IN
possession of every comfort she could de.
sire. His brothers were his next care :;
and, like Napoleon, he had a strong arm
with which TO aid them, an indomitable
perseverance that nothing could success
fully obstruct. In few years, they too,
with his sisters, were independent in the
world the once barefoot printer-boy was
in possession of affluence and wealth, sur
rounded by young and affectionate fam
iy. He was friend of the friendIess.
patron of merit, and an encourager of
industry.
He rose in honor and Office, until the
barefoot printer-boy-who entered a prin-
ting-office in Harrisburg, hungry and
weary, laid down his bundle on a pile of
wet paper, and asked to become printers
prentiee-was elected a United States
Senator.
This man is Simon Cameron, the pres
ent Secretary of War.

4 CHiLD'S DREAM OF 4 STAR.
BY CHARLES DICKENS.

There was once child, and he strolled
about good deal, and thought of a num-
Der of things. He had a sister, who was
child too, and his constant companion.
These two used to wonder all day long.
They wondered at the beauty of the flow
ers they wondered at the height and
blueness of the sky; they wondered at
the depth of the bright water; they won
dered at the goodness and the power of
God who made the lovely world.
They used to say to one another, some
times Supposing all the children upon
earth were to die, would the flowers, and
the water, and the sky, be sorry? They
believed tkey would be sorry. For,
said they, the buds are the children
of the flowers, and the little playful streams
that gambol down the Hill sides are the
children of the water; and the smallest
bright specks, playing at hide and seek
in the sky all night, must surely be the
children Of the stars and they would all
be grieved to see their playmates, the
children Of men, no more.
There was one clear shining star that
used to come out in the sky before the
rest, near the church spire, above the
graves. It was larger and more beauti-
ful, they thought, than all the others, and
every night they watched for it, standing
hand in hand at window, Whoever
saw it first, cried out, 81 see the star ~
And often they cried out both together,
knowing so well when it would rise, and
where So they grew to be such friends
with it, that, before lying down in their
beds, they always looked out once again,
to bid it good night; and when they were
turning round to sleep, they used to say,
"God bless the star -
But while she was sill very young, oh
very, very young, the sister dropped, and
came to be so weak that she could no lon
ger stand in the window at night; and
then the child looked sadly out by HIM
self, and when he saw the star, turned
round and said to the patient pale face
on the bed, sI see the star J" and then a
smile would come upon the face, and a
little weak voice used to say, "God bless
my brother and the star -
And so the time came all too soon
when the child looked out alone, and
when there was no face on the bed and
when there was little grave among the
graves, not there before and when the
star made long rays down towards him,
as he saw it through his tears.
Now, these rays were so bright, and
they seemed to make such a shining way
from earth to Heaven, that when the
child went to his solitary bed, he dreamed
about the star and dreamed that, lying
where he was, he saw train of people
taken up that sparkling road by angels
And the star, opening, showed him a
great world of light, where many more
such angels waited to receive them.
All these angels, who were waiting,
turned their bcaming eyes upon the peo-
pie who were carried up into the star !;
and soon come out from the long rows in
which they stood, and fell upon the peo

The Gid and the New.
BY ALFRED TENNYsoN.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more
Ring out the feud of rich and poor
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times
Ring out, my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold
Ring out the thousand'wars of old;
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free
The larger heart, the kinder hand
Ring out the darkness of the land
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

THE RECEPTION, LAST observation-disclosures
Ing the unfavorable state Of the weather last eve
ming, the reception rooms at the Presidents House
were crowded. Some time before half past eight
O'Clock 1.-THE reception hour, there was In wait
Ing considerable crowd on the portico, exposed
10 the eager and biting air, which came from the
northeast, laden with sharp sleet. The expectants
bore their probation good naturally; stamping
their feet upon the stone slabs to keep the vital
duid In circulation through the extremities !;
while a succession Of stale jokes and execrable
puns about ga cool reception" and 4" Uncle Abe
being longer even than usual" helped to while
away the tedious minutes. ...
A number Of Metropolitan policemen from each
precinct were present, and helped to preserve
order In the rooms and outside
Marshal Lsmon stood on the lefr Of the Pres-
dent, near the west door Of the oval room, and
presented visitors to him az they passed through,
while Deputy Marshal Philips, little further on
had the agreeable task Of making presentations

Amongst the distinguished characters who
fingered In the reception room, we noticed the
Secretary Of State, Baron Stoeckl, the Russian
Minister; Gen. Mcdowell, Capt. Dahlgren, and
Others. A great number OF military gentlemen
were present, amongst whom were half dozen
