Edward Bates and the President.
AN INPRfssrvx scrrs

One of the most interesting events counected
with the stay OF the President in ST. Louis was
the occasion of his VISIT TO the venerable ex-
Attorney General Of the United States, Hon.
EAward Bates. The st. Louis Republican
says:
1t is known TO most Of our citizens that the
health Of MIR. Bates is very precarlous. He 10
suffering from q disease Of the lungs that is
liable TO produce death at almost any hour ON
Sunday, at one O'Clock, according 70 previous
arrangement, Captain James b. Eads called at
the Lindeu Hotel for the President Secretary
Seward, and Secretary weiIes, and with them
proceeded TO the house of Mr.. Bates The latter
seemed much affected on seeing his distin-
guished associates, and thanked them most
feelingly for their visit to one who, he said,
was a dying man. He spoke, however, with
the greatest cheerfulness OF his expected disso-
luton. Having lived three score years and
thirteen, he had had three more years than he
was entitled TO. His remarks TO Mr. Seward
We're exceedingly touching. He had never ex-
pected to see him alive again, and this was inst
SO much clear gain TO him.
Mr.. Welles he addressed as one who was near
TO him by ties OF friendship and mutual trial
beyond what he could express. He spoke 10
the President as one who had a greater weight
OF cares and responsibilities than any fifty men
in the nation and thanked God for believing
that he was one Of the NEST worthy that could
have been selected TO perform his obligations 70
the whole country.
The President at parting assured Mr. Bates
that bis last interview with him in Washington
was fresh in his memory, as well as each word
OF good adyice and encouragement he bad then
given him, and that he could not express the
pleasure il gave OF having II In his power
now TO do himself the honor of calling 10 see
him.
The parting Of Mr. Bates and Mr.. Seward
was exceedingly touching, but the kind words
OF each cannot be recalled. The eyes of both
were moIstened, and the deep feelings win
which all four OF these great statesmen Were
affected will long be remem bered by those no
witnessed their farewell visit TO the reverend
and honored patriot Of Missouri.

( He shouted at Fritz and then fercely he
frown did
Put down that pitcher, or you're sure to be
drowned !"
horror Fritz started, for meath the moon
CLEAN,
From his pitcher he saw there was flowing a
stream;
Then he felt that his blood was beginning to
freeze,
As the water came rippling up to his knees
He tugged at the pitcher, twas piteous to see,
For the chain was entangled, he could not get
free
Then reeling and staggering over the boulders,
He found that the water was up to his
shoulders.
In moment he tripped in the current so Sect
Next he stumbled and fell, and was borne on
his feet
Sure sturdy swimmer like Fritz cannot drown
But that pitcher is heavy, and weighs him
down.
The water closed DER him and swept him away
As he thought he heard voices seeming to say
''Driat, bm not deeply or some day you ,oW
rue
ReceiUjag the pitcher giUs unto you :"

The Pal Nal Gdzette says:-"Mr. Roebuck
said, not very long ago, in one of his caustiC
speeches, that the proceedings in the Divorce
Court had at any rare done good service in cX-
posing the cant of the middle classes, when they
claimed to be more moral than the aristocracy
In similar spirit many people will be refrcshe |
by finding that the 'young lady housckecpcr'
system is by no means without its adherents
within the very Low Church and Dissenting cir
cles. young Christian widow lady desires a
re engagement as housekeeper to gentleman
She is, moreover, her advertisement assures us,
very domcstiCated, cheerful, oOlging and mu.
sical.' II is surprising that she does not stipu-
late that she will only engage herself to Chris
tian gentleman In the same column where
she makes the announcement another young
widow lady wishes ito superintend widower's
household,' and would not object to the super
vision of young child.'n
