VENERABLE SIR. For eight years have
been Secretary of the Navy. am at that
time of life when change of scene is de-
plorable. My doctors tell me that if |
leave this office the shock to my nervous
system will be so violent that will hardly
survive it. For eight years it has been to
me place of comfort and repose. For
eight years have contemplated from afar
off the proud and deep blue sea. Now,
would you leave me, in the words of the
following melody:
"Here, a sheer hull, lies
Poor Tom Bowling,
Darling OF our crew,
No more he'll hear the tempest bowling;
For death has broached him to.
His form was Of the manifest beauty,
His heart was kind and soft;
Faithful below he did his duty,
But now he's gone alolt."
The phrase "gone aloft," venerable sir,
is sea term for mounting to the top of
the mast. hear stories to the effect that
you are going to put Dave Porter or Far
rsgut in my place. Pity the sorrows of
poor old man, and hesitate. Don't begin
your administration with an act of cruelty
which will bring tears to the eyes of every
grandmother in the land. l can assure
you of my support for every measure of
your administration. If you only keep
me in the Navy Department, you can send
me blank sheet of paper, and / will
write at the bottom Of it this line:

Waste Paper from General Grants
0nice.
From the New York Thb

| From the New York Tribune
This Is a mournfil story we have from
Washington. Gen. Grant has ordered
Gen. Badeau to destroy all letters asking
for office. The consequence was, to-day,
that Gen. Badeau had a pile of waste pa
per on his table two feet high" Our vigi
liant espondent-determine at any
| expense, to be ahead with the news, and
to utterly confound and overwhelm those
mendacious and wretched prints which
claim to be organs Of public opinion--has
succeeded in obtaining, at large expense,
from the experienced colored gentleman
who takes charge of Gen. Grants waste.
basket, some of the remnants Of these
valuable contributions. We regret that
most Of these letters are in fragments,
but, such as they are, we hasten to lay
them before our readers:

HoNoRED SIR: l see by this mornings
paper that you have been chosen Presi-
dent by a larger vote than even that
received by my worthy friend aud col
league, Gen. jackson, whose administra.
tion took prominent part in running.
| need not say to you that this triumph is
altogether occasioned by my insisting that
my son Francis should be p'aced upon
the ticket at New York as Vice President.
| compelled Frank to make this sacrifice
in order to strengthen your ticket, and |
know you are too honorable man to
hesitate to acknowledge this obligation. l
have one boy, Ny, who has been out of
work for some time, not getting along
very well with his last employer, and who
would make very good Chief Justice in
the place of Chase. think you can have
no trouble in removing Chase, as the SEN
ate would not dare to cross the will of its
great leader. Frank himself deserves a
good deal of consideration for his sacrifice.
1t would not do to call my dear friend
johnson home from England, although
think Frank would do best in the London
mission; but If you should send McCul.
loch back to his Fort Wayne bank, and
make Frank Secretary of the Treasury,
you will certainly have the whisky frauds

mostly cousins, grandchildren and so on,
list of whom will send to you before
your Inauguration, with the names of
places to which l wish them appointed.
Yours faithfully,

P. ST. have pleasant room at Silver

AUBURN, Nov. A, 1883.
MY DEAR SIR My visit and the ex-
tremely lucid and eloquent speech which
l have had the honor to make here, have
fulfilled my highest anticipations by secur-
ingyour election as President of the United
States. No intelligent man, no lover of
his race, no man who believes that the
mysterious chords which bind the human
race in one affinity, and which give Gov
ernments that perennial, definite and alb.
stract relation which can only be seen in a
concrete nationality, will doubt that my
words, fifty spoken, decided the votes of
millions of your countrymen and gained
for freedom this abounding triumph. l
have been longer in Office than any states
man since the beginning of the Govern
ment. have now no higher ambition
than to catch the perch that abound in
the streams, to see the corn grow in the
valleys, and to contemplate from afar the
icy beauties of Alaska and the verdant
glories of st. Thomas. But have many
valued friends in the city of New York /;
and-I feel that it is proner for me to ask
your Excellency, in distributing the posi-
tions that now fall to your gift, to remem-
Der these gentlemen. I shall be satisfied
if you appoint them to the Collectorship,
the Naval office, the Surveyorship of the
Port, the vacant Judgeships, Revenue
places and Marshalships that are at your
disposal. expect my valued friend, L
W, home by the next steamer, and he
will send you list Of the gentlemen
whose services it will be necessary for you
to have in your administration. l have
the honor to be, with great respect, your
obedient servant, WI. s..

HEARTs.-Hearts are Of several kinds,
and Of widely different natures First,
there are walled up hearts, and these are
of two kinds; about one kind the wall Is
high and strong, and to surmount it is a
work of extreme difficulty but if you
can get inside you have entered Eden.
Fragrant and sweet, and fair as the Wis
ions seen in dreams, is that enclosed gar
den, and it is worth hard labor to gain
admission there. The other has wall as
high and strong, and full as hard to get
over; and when at last, with torn flesh
and dislocated joints, you have scaled it,
YOU wish you hadn't, for their is nothing
inside but rocks and cold water The
trouble with these two descriptions OF
hearts is, that It's impossible to distin-
guish one from the other until you have
almost worn yourself out in mounting
the walls. Another kind of heart is that
which, having nothing to fence it in, lies
open to the passage of all men and cattle
"a waste, unfruitful field, of no use tc
anybody and less to the owner. But there
is another kind of heart--a rare creation
but real one--whose wall is low and al
most hidden by flowers. The birds make
their nest in it, and sing as they swins
upon its swaying twigs and festoonins
vines Beyond the wall, itself thing o
fragrance and beauty, lie the enchantin,
gardens. Delightful bowers invite tn
wayworn traveller to enter and repose
Spirits of love and beauty beckon the sa,
and lonely ones to the feast of soul, and
charmed light and glory hover in tn
! whole joyous air. This is the true typ
OF heart.
