AnecdOtc of the Late DR.. PierpOnt.

Carpenter, in his volume entitled six
months at the White House. just publish
ed, relates the following interesting anec-
dote. The incident transpired in one of the
departments in Washington.
"The desk at which DR.. Pierpont was oc-
cupied was in the room with those of a large
number of other clerks, among whom the
tall figure and silvery head of the poet
preacher were very conspicuous. One day
lust alter Mr.. McCulloch had entered upon
his duties in Washington, it was announced
at the entrance of this room that the new
Comptroller dad called to see "Dr Pierpont."
The clerks looked up from their books, at
one another, inquiringly, as Mr.. McCulloch
took seat by the poets desk II perceive,
DIR. Pierpont," said he, "that you do not re-
member me ?" The venerable preacher
looked at him moment, and replied that
he did not think he ever had seen him be-
fore. "Oh yes you have" returned the
Comptroller. / was q member of-Class
in Cambridge, in 1S33-34, and used to hear
you preach. Upon leaving the Law School,
preparing to take up my residence in the
West, called upon you and requested one
or two letters of introduction to parties in
Cincinnati, You gave me two letters, one
TO Mr.. S-and the other to a Mr.. C.
of that city. These letters, my dear sir,
were the stepping-stones to my fortune. 1
have not seen you since but, learning that
you were in Washington, told my wife,
upon leaving home, that the first call 1
made in Washington should be upon the
Rev. John Pierpont," AS the Comptroller
concluded, DR.. Pierpont put on his specta-
clcs and looked at him moment in silence.
He at length said :-"Why, Mr.. McCulloch,
you are the most extraordinary man l ever
saw in my lite ? "How so ?" was the reply.
"Why, you have remembered a favor for
thirty years.

Song of the Leaves.

We are children of the trees;
On their giant arms we lc
And are softly lulled to sleep
When the night comes down the sky.
Oh! merry tilt we dance
When the gentle breezes plays
And we drink the golden wine
or the sunlight all the day.
Then we hide the creeping brood
In their warm and messy nest,
And we feel the beating low
or each music. haunted breast.
Through the long and sultry hours
We have sheltered from the heat
Yonder sis,er-baud Of flowers,
And they give us homage sweet.
In the hush of earth and air.
When the grooming storm is near,
How we whisper, how we sigh,
While we tremble in our fear.
But the drops of cooling rain
On our lifted faces drip,
And We catch and hide gem
For tho pilgrim here to sip.
When we raise our tiny hands,
Where the sons of toll have strayed
In the glaring monday sun,
How they bless our grateful shade.
Hnrk we snurmur joyful praise
10 the God who gave us life.
And with incense Of our love
All the summer days are rife.
All the beauty and the joy
OF the year we only know,
For we never see the ground
In its gloomy shroud Of snow.
Though we flourish in our pride,
And we run our race of mirth,
Soon we droop and fade away,
Like the children of the earth.
