Robert Iincoln--Gossip in High Life.

You remember Robert Lincoln, son of the
late President? He was generally liked here
as amiable and intelligent young sc.,tle
man. not quite equal to his father in ability,
but of superior culture. A story is lust now
current in which his name is SO freely ban
died, and so universal, that seeing that all
parties are of public notoriety, there may be
no improperly in abiding to it. Nearly two
years ago, SO the story runs, Robert fell in
love with young lady. whose father was at
one time out Of office and out of money To
be in this condition at Washington is next to
being convicted of forging Government bond
or murder in the first degree, and the idea of
marrying the lady in that condition was not
TO be thought of.
So the amlabie Robert set about mcndng
the matter and made desperate effort to Sc
Gu t tather-ln-law seat in the lower
DO Sc If Congress. lie failed in this how
ever, and was at dead halt, when luckily
member of the Cabinet died Here was
vacancy, and the lover, speeding on the wings
of passion, amorous, few to the President and
stated the whole case to him, with great
trankness. 81 like your way Of doing things,
Bob" said Mr.. Lincoln, land, if possible |
will work the thing for you" To cuta long
tale short he did ''work 1.-THE broken
down politician became member of the
'H0 JOu"S alIIuce was soon con-
verified into leader of fashion and all went
sweetly as marriage bell toward the we'd
ding-day. But the udagc never fails to hold
Its own, and in this, as in every other case,
the course OF love did not run smooth.
Ehe hand of the assassin interDOsed The
young gentleman found himself bereft of
father, OF fortune and of place at one fell
swOOp. On the other hand. the Cabinet
member created by his interposition, had ex-
perienced a change of fortune; for, having
shuffed his cards skillfuily, he was just re.
turned Senator in Congress. The lady wa
vered, the nuptials were postponed, and f.
Dally, as visions of gay career and better
match began to fit across her beautiful blue
eyes, she resolved that she was not so much
in love as she had been, and she broke off
the engagement altogether. 1 tell you the
tale Al it was told to me-

PRAY FOR NE.

When heavy clouds of doubt and gloom
Hang DER me like pail,
When IaiIh Is weak and hope 10 Ialnt1
Aud in despair fall;
When trembling mid the threatning storm
of Hfe's tcmpcstuous sea,
Lift tt5 your hearts, ye faithful souls,
And pray, OH pray for me!
1wouId do good, but then the power
OF evil is still near,
The tempter's ClOse toe uty's path,
Filling my soul with fear.
If to my faith virtue add,
know that it will be
In answer to yoCr earnest prayer
Then pray, oh, pray for me!
Elijah prayed when Israel bowed
Before the Gods of Baal,
And fire from Heaven descending tells
How faithful prayers prevail;
The flames of love divine can make
This blinded soul 10 sec
The Lord. He is the only Cod
Then prav, oh, pray for me!
He prayed again, and copious showers
Made glad the parched earth.
And fruitful fields and smiling flowers
Covered a land of dearts
hiay not this barren soul of mine
Fruitful and lovely be,
II you call down rich sho Rers of gracet
Then pray, oh, pray for me!
On the strong pinions of your prayers
My willing soul would soar
Up to the mount OF Faith and Hope,
To doubt and fear no more;
BY sin no more a captive led,
My happy soul Is free,
Together then, our prayers shall rise
Then pray, oh, pray for met

NIGHT THE Pooh MANS FR1END.-Night
levels all artificial distinctions. The beg@ar
on his pallet of straw, shores as soundly as
king on bed of down. Night-kind, gen.
tie, soothing, refreshing night-the earthly
paradise of the slave, the sweet oblivion Of
the worlds soul; the nurse of romance, Of
devotion, how the great painting heart of So
ciety yearns for the return of night and rest.
Sleep is Gods special gift to the poor, for
the great, there is no time fixed for repose :;
quiet, they have none, and instead of quietly
awaiting the approac of events, they fret and
Eepine, and starve and sleep, and ehide the
tardy hours, as if tomorrow were big with
the fate Of some hereafter. The torrent of
events goes roaring past, keeping the eager
expectation on tiptoe, and drives timid slum-
bers away.
