Myth Harpooning said.the city was now paying
$4,000 in rent, and one of her landlords, the
Philadelphia Bank, was going to raise on her,
and he did not know what they should do as
they were not ableto pay the rent now.
Several myths here rose to their feet; one
from the TRentysfourth.-W " ard offered for the
use of the city building on Tacony Creek, for.
merly used as aCartridge Factory, if the city
would put 1t in order; another myth from
the TwentysecondJ offered large stone stable

declined. because L the myths had begun

handsomer than Independence Hall, counting

eighteenth 'toadstoop in the main avenue OF
the square. No man could say that the amount
, asked for was excessive for such a-building So

Myths, but among the Common Myths, they
tarned-the building in an opposite direction.
Myth Flourbag Thought itlWould cost the city
$4,000 if they had anything to do with it now

ly dared return i; ; but | put my arm
round her and took her gently to the bay
window of the old hall, saying, as | press
ed her hand, "Alice, dear Alice, did you
mean that kiss %
Well, need not tell you what she an
swered. IT'S fifty years ago, fifty years
ago and l am surrounded by Alice's
dear grandchildren aud there is one, a
little thing with light and golden hair that
will deepen into brown, who plays around
my knees and tells me her little stories,
her sorrows, and her joys SO quick, so
hurried in their coming and their going
that they are like my own, and, as we
talk, we grow quite friends and compan-
ions, as my Alice was to me.
Bless you, she understands it all She
is woman in her pretty ways; her
poutings, pettings, ard quarrelings.-She
manages her household Of one wax doll
and two wooden ones, and tells me, for
the wax doll is the lady and the two
and stuff gowns, when they gossip with
a wooden policeman, who belongs to her
brother, little Joe.
So we are fast friends, little Alice and
and tonight, noticed that she would
not dance nor play with the pink and
shiny faced little boys who were unnatu-
rally tidy and clean in their new knicker-
bockers, with red stockings; but she came
and sat by me and talked softly in the
freight as Alice did, and made me think
of fifty years ago. And only think how
old times came back and new times like
the old; only just think that when her
mother told her she should choose a sweet
heart, she GOT a little bit of mistletoe,
and climbing silly on my knee, and hold
ing me in talk as if to hide her purpose
though 1 guessed it soon, I'll tell you,-
she put her little doll-like arm around my
neck, and holding the mistletoe above my
head, she kissed me again and again, and
said l was her sweetheart.
So this child sweetheart brought the
old times back-the old times that are
still so distant and so near-and the sweet
kiss meath the rustling leaves, made ne
think of my dead Alice in the grave.

81 viii not stultify myself by suppos-
ing that we have any warrant in the Con-
stitution for this proceeding. This talk of
restoring the Union as it was, and under
the Constitution as it is, is one of the alb
surdities that | have heard repeated until
| have become sick of it. There are
many things which make such an event
impossible. The Union never shall, with
my consent, be restored under the Constl-
tuition as it is. ''-IHud. .SteUeRS.
LET me say that the Constitution of
the L. s., as understand it, expects no
man who is not wholly lost 10 self-respect,
and ready to abandon the manhood which
is shown in the heaven directed counte-
nance, to voluntarily aid in enforcing a
Judgment which, in his conscience, he
solemnly believes TO be against the funda-
mental law. The whole dogma of passive
obedience must be rejected-in whatever
guise it may assume, and under whatever
alias it may skulk-whether in the tyran-
nical usurpation of king, parliament, or
judicial tribunal. - Charles .Sanlner.

A Happy Niger.

A niger sat on the curbstone bare, the
lights of his grinders showed free from
care; his hat was brimless and full of air
holes, his shoes nearly minus vamps,
quarters and soles, while his coat, boots
and vest into fragments were blown; and
excepting collar his shirt was all gone.
To any one passing, twas easy to see,
this darkey was happy as happy could be;
though wanting in food, he seemed not to
feel it, but patiently waited good chance
to steal it. No master to hector him now,
like Turk, or mistress to hurry him up
20 his work; no handling of plow, hoe,
shovel or spade, and nothing to do but sit
in the shade-and starve TO death.

Tried and True.

Memories of other friends may fade
From out my mind, and leave no trace
While he, whose hand held to-day,
Still keeps within my heart place.
For life is ike a march, where some
Fall early from the ranks, and die;
And some, when times of conflict come,
Go over to the enemy.
And he who halts on the way
Wearied in spirit and fame
To call his roll of friends, will find
How few make answer to their name,
And those who share our youth and joy
Not always keep our love and trust,
When days of awful anguish bo"
Our heads with sorrow to the dust.
My friend in such fearful hour,
When heart and spirit sunk dismayed,
From thee the words of comfort came
From thee, the true and tender aid.
Therefore, though many another friend
With youth, and youthful pleasure goes,
Thou art of such as | would have
Walk with me till life's solemn close.
Yea, with me when earth trials are done,
If be found when these shall cease,
Worthy to stand with those who wear
White raiment on the hills of peace

his customers, ard reduces him TO a state
of wretchedness and misery. 1t meets

his farm, his fences are broken down, las
