Poor Davis Davis y :

Mr. Jefferson Davis can never be happy.
That's one comfort, Mr.. Horace Greeley
may bail him, and then hegetting himself
out of the scrape may argue that treason
is no crime, but wherever he goes the
fiend Remorse follows. 1t stands be-
hind his chair at the banquet: 1t pur-
sues him wherever he goes for relief, like
Cutie Sark at the tsil of Tom. 0'Shan7
ter's Mare 1t sits at the foot of the bed
when he denudes his gaunt figure, and it
rests astride of bis breast when he sleeps:
The correspondent of the n. Y. Herald
has described in paragraph which has
gone the rounds of tlFe ladmiring press;
the way in which this rernorsefal fiend
returned upon the Unhappy Davis after
he had attended the theatre at Montreal.
where the ovation of our friendly neigh
bOrs had for a time banished his persecu-
tor from his mind He relates the ap-
plause in the theatre. and the cheering
in the street as he entered the carriage,
and then the following: r---.
S.sJust as the carriage was leaving, an
unknown person, observed only by few
stepped mp and handed Mr. Davis a note
which he carried to his home. Coming
to the light it was opened and found to
contain, the single word written in a
bold hand, "AndersonviIle" This, it is
said, went like dagger to his heart, and
for some some time his home was the
Scene of the greatest CONSERVATION. The
ladies screamed, and Mr.; Davis himself
came near fainting.'' 1888 .4a ail7
The single word eAndersonville, writ

his heart. That word set the ladies

tinued to scream until some neighbors
came and took the word away 1t caus-
ed a'chill topreVade the currents of Mr..

Wanted An Asylum for Monarohes.

The London Morning Herald has ac-
tually fallen to making fun of royal per-
sonages who have had losses. In an ar
ticle upon the late King Otho OF Greece
it remarks:
at would be ridiculous, indeed, toiaf
firm that the odds are greatly in favor Of
a long Danish dynasty at Athens Otho;
in ali likelihood, was well intentioned
when he set foot on classic soil on the
morning of FEBRUARY 9Th, l639;-in his
eighteenth year; and George no doubt,
is conscientious in his desire to do that
which Ohio attempted in vain; but a
fatality seems to attach to all these
mushroom monarches. In fact it was
hardly necessary to point out the Mexi-
can. empire as an illustration. 1t was an
enormous experiment, egregiousIy dis
astrous. But Europe itself is sufficient
ly full of examples Think of the bran
new crowns ordered from Imperial gold
smiths and enriched by imperial jewel
ers, for the First Napoleon. Of the
whole galaxy, not a glimmer remains.
Every now and then prince is put up,
sits for a time, and is rejected" -s1 a

with the reflection that he will be in very
good company, and probably will find
himself quite as comfortable out of his
''white- washed palace" as Athens at in it.

Breakage Of Lamp Chimneys.

The cause of lamp chimneys being so
brittle and breaking so easy, is owing to
the material they are made from. (There
is shoddy in glass as well as in cloth.)- y
Cheapness being the order of the day
a great many manufacturers make chim-
news from silicate of lime instead OF sill
cate of lead. The Glass made from the
sihcase of lime has about the following
proportions: Sand 100; soda, AS; lime,
30 10 25: inter I to 10. Lime beIng
non-conductor of heat the chimney will
not bear the expansion caused by the
heat, and if by gradual heating the CHM
ney does not break on the lamp, few
times heating makes it so brittle that it
breaks with the least effort of cleaning
it, no matter how much care is used.
The silicate of lead has about the follow
ing proportions, sand, 100; lead 40, to
so; soda 20 to 25; inter, 10 to 10. Lead
being very ductile and good conductor
of heat. a chimney made from this formu-
la will almost melt before 1T VIII crack
with the heat. The uninitlated may
tell the difference of She chimneys made
by these different qualities OF glass Dy
ringing them, the vibration from the
lead GLASS chimney has sweet beltlke
sound while the lime glass has short
harsh sound. The difference of the cost
TO manufacture is only in material, about
Is cents per dozen. Another point is in
annealing chiiHneys as a general rule
are not annealed, unde. powerful mi-
croscope the difference can be seen IN
the glass, the particles in the anneaIed
lie close and compact, while the unaneal-
ed seem ready to diverge. ,.

Long Dresses.

Oliver Wendell Holmes uses the fol-
lowing language, none too strong, in re-
ference to one of fashions foolish freaks:
s'But, confound the make believe wo-
men we have turned loose in our streets;
where do they come ,from7 Not out Of
Boston parlors, ]. trust. Why, there isn't
a beast or bird that would drag its tail
through the dirt In che way these crea-
lures DO their dresses. Because Queen
or Duchess wears long dresses on great
occasions, a maid of all work or factory
girl thinks she must make herself nui-
sance by trailing throughthe street, pick
ing up and carrying about with her.
bah! that's what call getting vulgarity
into your bones and marrow.
'Show over dirt is the attribute Of vul-
gar people. If any man can walk be-
hind one of these women, and see what
she rakes up as she goes, and not feel
squeamish he has got a tough stomach.
l would not let one of them into my room
without serving them as David did Saul Z
at the cave in the wilderness cut OF her
skirts. -. ,... .,e. ...,,- era
''Don't tell me that true lady ever
sacrifices the dnty Of keeping all about
her sweet and clean, to the wish of ma
king vulgar show. l don't believe it
of a lady. There are some things that
no fashion has any right to touch, and
cleanliness is one of these things 1t is
an insult to a respectable laundress to
carry such things into house for her to
deal with. .

Waiting.

Long in this wild, wild country,
Where rue and nightshade grow
Where waters black and bitter,
All fairest meads 'ertlow
Where, from the heart all broken,
Floats forth wailirg cry;
And days are dark and dreary,
And years drift sadly by;
Where skies are gray and stormy
And mountains bleak and cold,-
Look down on Wintry ocean,
On barren heath and Wold
Long, in this sinful country,
I've wandered, poor and lone;
To every illness subject,
To every weakness prone.
Now, standing on the headlands,
| greet the coming dawn;
Mine eyes drink in the glory
OF the approaching morn.
l see my dear-loveG Savicur,
Clad in the purest white
And sky and heath and headland
Are bathed in golden light.
The songs of raptured angels,
And her sweet voice hear;
The murr ur of the Eternal Sea
Floats downward to my car.
This earth is fading from me,
No more the wild wind sigh /;
No more the days, all dreary,
Go drifting sadly by.
But, watching my Lords coming,
With loving, trusting faith
I fold my hands-so weary
And calmly wait-for death.
O blessed, blessed country!
No pains, nor bitter tears
No fainting meath the burden,
No Goubts-no cruel fears.
o bright, unchanging glory!
o radiant array
O-sweet and dream like musicl
