THE LOCK OF HAIR.
ny GEO. D. PRENTICE.

How often has this lovely curl
Been bound with flowers and decked WITH
pearl
How Oft round snowy fingers tWined-
How oft woOed by the amOrOus wind
And oh how oft at midnight hour,
When slumber Teigned in hall snd power.
This curl, sOft-pestled Ike dove,
Has heard the whispered dreams OF love
This lovely tress-this raven tress-
That oft 10 heart aud lip press;
know not IL it used to deck
The Parian Wilderness of her neck,
Or DER her blue-veined temple strayed,
Or on her besming brow was laid,
Or fell upon the stainless snow
OF her young cheek only know
IL lie the lOvliest of curls,
And from the lOvliest of girlsl
Ave. tits a thing TO love end bless,
This little dark and shining trees:
Dark as the midnight forests gloom,
Dark as the tempest spirits pnme,
Dark as the stern Death Angels seat,
But shining az the battle steed.
And che by whom this gem was given
Seems to nv heart a thing of Heaven
An angel dreams gentle dove
Sent forth from Gods own ark OF love
A vision come from Paradise
A while TO gladden. mortal eyes
A star, of Heavens own stars the pride,
Chased in this dark worlds stormy tide.

sell, ana II is the only explanation OF
many significant facts. The poem
which is inseparably connected with his
memory became pre- cIous to him simply
for Ann Rutledge's sake.
Here is the story, and Mr.. Herndon,
nearly twelve years Mr.. Lincoln's Jun.
Tor, has no more to do with it than /
have as / tell it. Ann Rutledge was
lady-one of the very few who bad
penetrated to Illinois as early as 1888.
OF family educated aud aristocratic,
but broken down, she was betrothed
before Mr. Lincoln ever saw her, to a
Scotch merchant. In those days Illi-
nois was as far IRON New York as KAN
schatka now is. They were soon to be
married when the Scotchman went for
business purposes to that city. For
months nothing was heard of him; it
was supposed he was dead or had wick
edly deserted Ann. The truth was
that he lay i'll of delirious fever at
small wayside town. In this state
of things, while AIMS mind was tor
tured by suspense and disappointment,
MIR. Lincoln went to her fathers house
to board In time a sort of provisional
engagement eDsued. There were cir
cumstances in both lives that depressed
and panied; they learned to hold each
other very dear. Upon this state of
things broke the rumoI OF the recover
ed Scotchman's return. The delicate
nature of the woman broke under it.
Betrotbed to two--both of whom she
loved-she had no choice but to die;
she die lot live to see him enter New
Salem. How he who had been absent
loved her let the sequel show. He
bought the farm for her sake. and live /
there, std bachelor. 1t was his
quivering hand that pointed out to Mr.
Herndon the spot where Ann Rutledgt
| died.

A Yankee Trick.

A certain farmer, who in the course Of
q Year purchased several dollars worth
of goods (and always paid for them),
called at the store Of the village mer-
chant-his regular place of dealing
with two dozen brooms, which he offered
for sale. The merchant, who, by the
way, is fond Of good bargains, examined
his stock and said
"Well, Cyrus, will give you shil.
ling apiece for these brooms."
"Oh, no, John, can't begin to take
that for 'em, no how but I'll let you
have 'em for twenty cents apiece, and
not Ceut less"
Cyrus, you are crazy" replied John.
"Wh,, SIC here" showing fine lot of
brooms, eff an article great deal better
than yours (Which was true), which l
am retailing at twelve and a.half cents
apiece"
"Don't care for that" answered Cy-
rus; your brooms are cheap, but you
can't have mine for less than twenty
cents, anyhow" and pretending to be
more than half angry, he shouldered
his brooms and started for the door,
The merchant getting nervous over
the loss OF good customer, and fearing
that he might go to another store and
never return, said:
"See here, hold on while. If give
you twenty cents for your brooms, you
will not object to take the price of them
out 10 our goods ?"
"No, l don't care If l d." replied
Cyrus.
"Well, as you are an old customer, /
will allow you twenty cents apiece for
this lot. Let me see twenty four times

cents. What kind of goods will you

A Story WHICH HAS A MoRAL.-The
New York Tribune has the following
Let US tell the President a homely
story. Years ago 10 Westchester County
there lived noted bull. He was a con-
sentative animal. He believed In the
traditions OF the fathers, and had risen
from an humble station to bull of
strength and temper fit for the proudest
arens of Spain His life was fixed. He
detested Ra0C tlism. He swung around
his circle from d,y to day, like d wise
and resolute bui calmly contemplating
the wagon and the OK cart, the lumber
ing stage and the old family carriage.
By-and,by railroad was laid, and one
morning q locomotive rushed screeChing
along. The bull was alarmed. He had
never heard of such thing. 1t was I'M
constitutional. It was contrary to the
teachings of the fathers. The Washing
ton Of bulls had never mentioned it and
the Jefferson OF bulls he felt certain
would have condemned it had he lived.
There never was bull so agitated, so
maddened, so alarmed. He did not care
about himself. He would willingly pour
himself out as libation for the good of
his race, but this Radical invention he
could not endure. So he beloved and
kicked, and pranced, but all was as un-
availing as so many vetoes, One day
he escaped from his pen. He heard the
whistle. Now was his opportunity.
Now he would put his foot down and
stop the calamity. The train came
laundering along, and placing himself in
the middle of the track, he rushed upon

The Bswiiched Terrier.
ny AnKiSs 5, NIGHTINGALE.

sam johnson was a eullud man,
Who lived down by the sea;
He owned rat tan terrier
That stood bout one TO three
And the way that creature chewed up rat
Was gorjuss iorto see
One day the dog was slumberin'
behind the kitchen stove,
When suddenly wicked flea
A ugly little cove
Commenced upon his faithft back
With many Jumps TO rove.
Then lp arose that terrier,
With frenzy In his eye,
And, " titin' only long enough
To make a touchiu' cry,
Commenced TO twist himself around
Most wonderfully spry,
But all in vain, his shape was such
SOawfll short and fat
That though he doubled up hisselL
And strained hisself at that,
His mouth was half an inch away
From where the Varmlnt sat.
The dorg set up an awful howl,
And twisted like an eel,
Emitting cries OF misery
AT every nip he'd feel,
And tumblin' down and jumppin' up,
And turnin' like wheel.
But still that most owdacious flea
Kept up a constant chaw
Just where he couldn't be scratched out
By any reach Of paw.
And always half an inch beyond
His victims snappin jaw.
sam johnson heard the noise, and came
To save his animie
But when he seen the critter spin
A barkin' all the while;
He dreaded hideriforbia,
And then began to rile.
''The pup is mad enough" says he,
And luggin' in his ak,
He gave the reCh'd terrier
A pair of AWFUL cracks,
That stretched him out upon the floor
As dead as carpet tacks.
MORAL,
Take warnin' by this terrier
Now turned to sassidge meat;
And when misfOrtune's flea shall come
Upon your back to eat
'eware, or you may die because
You can'tmake both ends meet.
