And cling nd brighten; and no heart has lack

And no ewes weary OF the rainless air
The world grows sweeter than a heart an bear,
Live with white violets whose breath has male
Earth like pillow where young heads ale laid,
When ali sweet flower scents rise like hal py rhymes,
From golden memories OF oden times,
And out OF Death springs Life, and joy from PAM

Miscellany.


The PendIeton escoIt which came to New
York with big words and much assumption
of influence, and met fatal disappointment, is
the butt of nnumerable jokes. According to
the Cincinnati Times the members of the es-
cort arrived home there in very dila pidated
condition. 1t says:
They started for New York with clean linen
busters, span new hats, silver badges, and
bright little flags with greenbacks onto them,
and they entered the Empire City in solid
phalanx, with music and much banners. They
have been dropping in by twos and threes for
week or more. Badges ami flags had dis APP
peared; they had exchanged their. hats or
bought others-one man had his colored--and
their linen busters needed washing badly. They
are all home now, with the exception of per-
haps three or four. As they are known to have
pawned their railroad tickets, and to be out of
money,it is supposed that they are endeayorrng
to make their way home on foot. Owing to the
heat ofthe weather and their enfeeble,f condi-
tion from want of TODD, they are not able to
make over hve or six miles a day. With the
cooler weather OF autumn they will probably
make better time, and reach home by the
time that winter sets in. They are reported
as wearing linen busters, worn away as far up
as the middle of the back, and the rims of
their Pendleton hats are entirely gone. Their
shoes are worn out and their Ieet bound up in
rags. Some relief should be sent to them at
once" ms
One of the sufferers has written a letter to
sympathiZer in Cincinnati, in which he
says: I'VE are moving slowly but steadily on
Cincinnati, where we expect to arrive before
the holidays, but cannot telI.' He contin-
ues:
I'VE would get along faster if it wasn't for
the tunnels. We are afraid TO walk through
them-afraid some laundering train would
knock us to thunder-so we have to climb
the mountain. The brambles have worn our
coat tails all away.
