A POLITICAL ALLEG0RY.

NV old uncle Samuel had large
wagon which he had been driving for
mauy years with great ease and free
from care. The wagon had a large blue
body with red side boards and white
cover. Uncle Sam had worked good
many horses in his team from time to
time, and he made it rule to keep no
horse in the lead, longer than eight
gears, and very often he changed lead
ers every four years.
The wagon was freighted with the
best hopes Of mankind, and as the hopes
we're, light aud free, the weight was not
heavy aud the wagon went on smoothly
and safely on its journey.
But at length some wicked people
piled huge load Of war upos the wagon,
which seemed likely to crush all the
hopes Of the people and break their
wagon in pieces.
It also happened just at this time that
the wagon had to 20 up great hill, In
tho road called Rebel Hill. A great
many of his nephews told Uncle Sam,
that the load was so great and the Hill
so steep, he would never get up. But
he said 7 have never stopped yet, and
I don't intend to stop now. So Uncle
Sam drove on, aud gradually went up
the Hill for nearly four years, when be
came to the stespest part of the whole
road.
Uncle Sans leader was tall, raw.
boned, siuewy horse and as true as steel; ;
he called him Abe, and Uncle Sam
thought If he could depend on any horse
10 pull up that hill it was Abe. The
wheel horses we're named Mac. aud Pen.
Mac. vas the saddle horse, aud rather a
pony built horse With very prauciug
s.yle; aud though be looked like he
could pull if he could get things to suit
him, he had never been kaovq 70 tight
ca the, traces more than once or twice in
his life; and then he would stop and

saw, he positively could not pull with
that ugly brute Abe in the lead. So he
set himself back in the brccching and
held back all the time, even going up
hill.
The off wheel horse, Pen. had never
been known to pull pound. lie al
ways insisted that the wagon ought not
to 90 up the hill, and if it did he would
not help. Blu: at lcug,h they came to
the very stccpcst place Of the hin, and
Uncle Sam asked his horses if they
could make it. Abe said he had pull
cd the wagon over good many bad
places, and he was still willing to do his
best. But Mac and Pen said they did
not believe that thing could be done
that the hill looked higher to them than
when they started ut the bottom, and
they could not do anything while Abe
was in the lead. But if Uncle Sam
would take Abe out and leave it all to
them, and would make use Of the new
Pntcnt Chicago Brake. invented by Mr.
Val. very Ingenious man, and which,
unlike all other brakes, is intended to
be applied when the wagon is going up
hill. They hongM thy could Cach Mr
r"gom mp tie I'LL.
But Uncle Sam said that plan might
suit some people, but it did not suit him.
He did no. wish to try any such expert
ments. He was too old WAGNER to
"swup horses" at such a time, and
especially to give up his best horse for
such poor sticks as these two, who had
never pulled any. and he thought never
would. So he hitched in Andy, another
good horse, by the side Of Abe, so he
would have somebody to depend on in
case of any accident to Abe. and he
gave fair notice to all parties that his
wagon was going up that hill; and if
anybody got in the way they would get
run over.
So he gave Abe few words Of cheer,
and he gave Mac and Pen few strokes
of his whip lash; and up the hill they
went all safe and sound, except the load
of war, which had rolled off; and Uncle
Sam went on his way rejoicing with
more hopes in the wagon than ever be-

MARRIED THE WRONG LADY.

Love is a very uncertain thing, and it
| is not safe to be too certain Of the Symp'
toms until they arc unmistakable. The
following will explain our meanins:
Vienna has been stirred up lately, by
the comical result Of i strange love
story. 1t seems that in tho house Of one
Herr Kuhnc, a teacher Of languages, DR..
Kant. young lawyer, happened to make
the acquaintance Of lady, burdcned
with some property and thirty years.
The lady being unmarried, eyinced par.
ticular interest in the young, shy, and
rather abaShed man Of law. She made
love to him, in fact, very strongly, and
persuaded him to visit her at her house.
But, alas he loved another lady. One
evening, while couvcrsins with the doc
tor. she said:
With your favorable idea Of matr.
mony, may [ ask if you ever thought Of
marrying yoursclf?"
DR.. Kant sighed, and his eyes resting
on the ground, hcsltatinsly muttercd in
reply
II have already thought Of marrying,
and made my choice, but"
But ?" the lady hastily interposcd.
But" he continued, "thc lady is
rich, very rich, and I am poor. | am
afraid | could hardly aspire to her hand
and rather than allow myself to be taxed
with sordid designs, l will bury my pas,
sion in my breast, and leave it unvowcd
forever"
At an early hour the following day
she, however, betook herself to a solicit
tor, aud 10 legal form, declared her wish
to present and hand over rs his property
the sum of 10000 suildeu-(cl5, 000)
to DR.. Kant. When the document
had been signed, countcrsisned, and
duly completed, she sat down in the
Office, and, enclosing it in an elegant
envelope, added note to the following
effect: Dear sir-I have much pleasure
in enclosing a paper which I'hope will
remove the obstacle in the way of your
marriage. Believe me, &C., Alice Mar.
TIM" DR.. Kant, for he and no other

10 the world on receiving this generous
epistle. Repairing at once to the parents
Of Fraulein Fischel, the lady Of his love,
he proposed for and received the hand OF
a girl who had long been fattcrcd by
his delicate though unvowed attentions.
His reply to Fraulein Martini, besides
conveying his siucerest thanks, contained
two cartcs dc visite, linked together by

of marriage had been made, the case was

SHERIDANS RIDE.
BYr. BUCHANAN READ.

Tbi, beautiful poem which w.s read by Mr.. Murdoch
the Opera House In Cincinnati on the evening OF 'he
DAY on which WAS written, has been published with an
Introduction hy Kayard Taylor, who ranks it, As we'll
dvs.ry.s with Young Lochlnvar and Bro"ung's "ll"w
th.y brourL, tn. Good News from Client to AiS."
I'd from the South ut break Of day,
Bringing to Winchester fresh dismay
The afrighted air with shudder bore
Like a herald in haste to the chieftain door
The terrible grumble and rumble and roar,
Telling the battle was on once more,
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
And wider still those pillows Of war
Thunlered nlong the horizons bar,
And louder yet into Winchester rolled
The roar Of that red SEQ uncontrolled,
Making the blood Of the listener cold
\. he thought Of the stake in TINT fiery fray
And Sheridan twenty miles away.
But there is road from Winchester town,
A good, broad highway leading down;
And there through the flush Of morning light,
A steed. a. black as the stecds Of night
-Was seen to pass as With eagle flight
As ifhe knew the terrible need
lie stretched away with his utmost speed;
Hill rose and fell--but his heart was gay,
With Sheridan fifteen miles away.
Still sprung from those swift hoofs, thunder
ing South
Tie dust, like the smoke from the cannon's
mouth,
Or the trail Of comet sweeping faster and
faster,
Foreboding to traitors the doom Of disaster;
: The heart OF the stccd and the heart "f the
master
We're beating like prisoners assanlting their
walls,
Impatient to &c where the battlefield calls;
Every nerve Of the charger was strained to
full play,
With Sheridan only ten miles away.
Under his spurning feet the road
Like IN arrowy Alpine river flowed,
And the landscape sped away behind
Like ON ocean flying before the wind
And the stccd, like bark fed with furnace ire
Swep. on, with hiY wild eyes full Of fire.
But 10 he is nearing his hearts desire
He is suuf6ng the smoke of the roaring fray,
With Sheridan only five miles away.
The first that the General saw were the groups
OF stragglcrs, and then the retreating troops;
What was done what to do?-a glance told
him both,
Then, striking his spurs with n terrible oath,
Hedashed down the line mid storm ofhuzzas,
And the wave Of retreat checked its course
there, because
The sight Of the master compelled it to pause
With foam and with dust the black charger
was gray;
BY the fash Of his eye and his red nostrils play
lie seemed to the whole great army to say:
~ have brought you Sheridan, all the way
From Winchester down, to save the day.
Hurrah, hurrah, for Sheridan!
Hurrah, hurrah, for horse and man!
And when their statues are placed on high,
Under the dome Of the Union sky
The American soldiers temple Of Fame
There with the glorious Generals name,
Be it said in letters both bold and bright:
"llcre is the s,ecd that saved the day,
By carrying Sheridan into the fight,
From Enthusiastically miles nway!
