TEN AND TWENTY.
A DRAw1Ne ROOM REvERIE.


Can ten long years have passed away
Since with Kate Fame i need to play
And spoil her doll and toys
She was an awful little tease,
: Who tore her clothes and grazed her knees
Who sometimes clOmb up apple-trees.
The merriest Of romping girls
Was Kate, with tangled sunny eurls,
In those bright laughing days:
Her skirt was bien bOtuee-e'en
she never wore cTinOiine-
Meath which peeped trousers, frilled,
With broidsrie Anglaiss.
Whole mornings then we used to pass,
In strolling through the noddiUg grass,
Or COUGHING 'mODgst the fern;
Whilst there, when no one else was by,
used to kiss her on the sly
And Kate was neither coy nor shy,
But kissed me in returnl
The ivslOng day We played and walked,
Or in the orchard swunf and talked
Twas thus our liking strengthened:
At last, one gloomy, fearful day,
My playfellOw was sent away
10 school, snd there she had to stay
Until her frOcks were heightened.
In EatOn's elissic groves 1 stsayed,
To pick mp leaTning-Tm afraid
1 "picked up more st cricket;
Ny bOyish love was left to fate,
When pulling in the College Eight;
/ quite forget my little mate,
In dreams of dOuble-wicketl
Aud now L chance TO meet again,
Not saucy Kate. but fair Miss Fame,
The lOveliest of bellies;
Who rules the seasOn-fOr know,
at party, feis, or lOwer-shOw,
In opeTa-bOx or in tine Row,
She queens it DER the swells.
Alb since that -IOsy laughing child
Would jump upon her pony wild,
And round the paddock Canter,
Or madly with black Hector race,
Or climb for meats in Lyndith Chase
For which she got IN al disgrace
D Temporal mUtdntlT!
For Kate will never know me now,
But with q studied, solemn bow,
She'll gaze with manner blank.
Not know mef How her eyes flash bright !
She shakes nv hand, and grssps it tight,
And laughingly exclaims, I'm right =
'IIs my old playmate Frank"

The RIGHT OF RAILROAD TRAVELLERS. -
The right of railroad travellers to have
first-class cars on frst-class tickets is IL
Illustrated in the following incident A
Mr.. w. p. Dale, of New York, having
business in the West, reached Hamil-
ton, Ohio, and, after transacting his
business there, got on the Chicago and
Cincinnati train for point further up.
There were but two cars-a ladies car,
so-called, aud a smoking car--into
which Mr.. Dale was obliged to go to,
the brakeman refusing him access to
the ladies' car, He appealed to the
conductor, but he sustained the action
of the brakeman. Mr.. Dale asserted
his right to seat in the first-class car
on his frst-class ticket, and refused to
give it up until he received what he
was entitled to, whereupOn the con-
ductOr called the workmen on the train
to his aid, and forcibly elected him from
the train. Instead of going on the sue
ceeding train, Mr., Dale went to Cincin-
nsti, and, going to the Office of the
Chicago and Cincinnati railroad, made
a statement of his case. The company
acted promptly in the materials
charged the conductor and compensated
Mr.. Dale for his loss of time, and de-
cided, besides, that the holder of first
class ticket has the right to seat in a
first-class car.

TEXAS IMMIGRANTS. The Mckinney
(TeXas) Inquirer says: "a train of inn
migrants from Iowa passed through
town this week. The rush from Mis-
souri, and Tennessee continues unabat-
ed. Atall hours of the day immigrants
from those states are arriving here. J"
The Natchitoches Times says a heavy
emigration from the southern states
east of the mississippi is passing
through Louisiana. 1t says "Since
October last probably three hundred
wagons with families have passed
through this town to Texas. They
were principally from Mississippi and
Alabama. This is not supposed to be
the most eligible route to the land of
promise. If the emigration to the
Gulf by way and other points on Red
River be in the same proportion as in
former years, the drain of population
from the other southern states will soon
make Texas the empire state of the
South in population as well as extent of
territory. Formerly the emigrant to
Texas was accompanied by long train
of blacks, with fine bugles and carria-
ges for the white family; now each one
drives his own team.

A SINGULAR SToRY.-A New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal
writes: some of the vilest places in
the Fourth Ward, and one of the most
popular of its class, is kept by a man
40 years of age. He has been IL years
in the business. He is very smart and
talented, and has amassed fortune of
over $4,000 He has built one of the
most elegant and complete tenant
houses in the city. He belongs to one
of the best families in the State. His
brother is an eminent minister of the
gospel. He was piously brought up,
received collegiate education, and
graduated at the Union Theological
Seminary at the city of New
York. He took to this life, and
has followed it for eleven years.
without blenching. He keeps
religious books in his establishment,
and when he can get chance talks re-
ligiOn amid the dance and the drunk
enness and the profanity of his den.-
He has a genial wife who tends the bar
and superintends the feminine portion
of the concern. He has educated two
of his brothers children for the minis
try, and is said to be quite liberal in
benevolent matters. Such a specimen
of intelligent recklessness and educated
depravity can not probably be parallel
ed on the continent. Having seen this
man and talked with him, know what

as not to disgrace his family.

BUCKwHEAT CAKES. The finest, ten

little unbolted wheat Tor Graham) -four
TO the buckwheat. Less than a quar-
ter will do. Mix with cold sour milk,
or fresh mot sweet buttermilk, which
is best. The soda (emptyings are dis
pensed with when put in cold batter
will not act satisfactorily. Bake at
once. The heat will start the efferves-
cence, and as the paste rises it will
bake, thus preventing it from falling.
Hence the eliminating point of light
ness is attained. The batter rises snowy
and beautiful, and the pancake will
rise to almost undue dimensions, abso-
lutely the lightest and tenderest that
can be baked, with not touch of acid.
More salt, however, must be added than
usual, to counteract the too fresh taste
when soda alone is used. Thus the
bother of emptyings is all dispensed
with. Pancakes in this way can be
baked at any time and on the shortest
notice.
