A Hen Story.

The following story is told by paper
in Stockton, California
One of our prominent Republican cit
liens is now engaged in a singular con-
troversy with one of his colored q breth-
rem" The dark haired brother, 1t
appears, owned hen this hen visited
the premises of her masters white
"brother," and thereby hangs tale.
The said negro's hen then laid a nest
full of eggs upon the Republicans lot,
and commenced setting. The said Re
publican having some choice Spanish
hens eggs, took advantage of the hen
situation and removed her own laid eggs,
and in their stead placed the Spanish
hens eggs In due course of time the
eggs were hatched. But now comes the IT.
repressible niger, and demands both hen
and chickens, claiming that the former
Is the mother of the latter. The Repub-
hcan demurs to this, and puts in plea
that the real mother is the hen that laid
the eggs. The niger "dont see it"
and points to a precedent where his old
master, Judge MCGEE, when a woman
sued for divorce, gin the children to
the woman, cause she brooded EN-"
The real question between the breth-
rem is, which hen is the mother of the
chickens The negro threatens to sue
either for the chickens or for damages
from the use of his hen. Whether this
question will be carried to the Supreme
Court remains to be seen.

POetical COneeits.

1t is curious to follow certain poetical
fancies through the various expressions
of different authors Nearly three CEN
turtles ago William Haddington wrote,
among many fine things, poem to
Night, commencing thus:
"when survey the bright
Celestial sphere,
So rich with Jewels hung, that Night
Doth like Ethiop bride appear.
Shakespeare modified this sublime
figure in the famous exclamation of
Romeo:
go she doth teach the torches to burn bright,
1t seems she hangs upon the cheek OF Night
Like the rich jewel in Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use for earth too dear"
Afterward came Morloe, who gave an
other turn to this same imagery in the
following invocation:
"Fair, eldest child of love, thou spotless Night
Empress of Silence and the Queen of Sleep;
Who, with thy black cheeks pure complexion,
Makes lovers eyes eDamored filthy beauty"
Young, in Night Thoughts, changes
the blackamoor for widow, thus:
CHOW like widow in her weeds, the Night,
Amid her glimmering tapers, silent sits y
Bailey tries his hard at the same sub
ject with striking, effect:
'eStringing the stars, at random, round her head,
Like pearl network, there she sits-bright
Night"
Then comes Longfellow with the same
idea rendered prettily and fippantly
thus:
"The day is done, and the Darkness
Falls frbm the wings of Night,
As a feather is waited downward,
From an eagle in its flight"

r9- The following anecdote of the
Swiss General Fogliardi, at the battle of
Cbancellorville, is told by some uewspa-
per correspondent:
Accustomed to the broad, open and
clear European battle-6elds, where whole
army corps can charge in battle line
without impediments, and where the
surging squadrons of cavalry are the
sweeping concomitants of every army, he
could not exactly see how great battle
could be fought in that tangled, impene-
trable wilderness. He remarked to a
staff officer, noted for the force and brew
ity of his expressions, as well as great
personal bravery: " lis is not battle,
zis is a grand skirmish p "A Skin

Duties of Daily Life.

Life is not entirely made up of great evils
or heavy trials; but the perpetual recur-

ordinary and appointed exercise of the
Christian graces. To bear with the failiu gs
of those about us-with their in6rmities,
their bad Judgment, their Ill breeding, til cir
pcrverse tempers-to endure neglect when
we feel we deserved attention, and ingrati-
tude where we expected thanks--to lear
with the company OF disagreeable people
whom Providence has placed in our way
and whom He has provided or purposed for
the trial of our vrtue--these are the best
exercises Of patience and self denial and the
better because not chosen by ourselves

be more of the essence OF self denial than
