A story from Paris.

A Paris letter tells the following
story of Twelve Night Fete in that
city:
A wealthy family in the aristocratic
boulevard Malesherbes, were amusing
themselves in seeking the kings por-
ton, or the ring in the festival cake,
when lady of the company says to
the hostess, 81 wish my portion to be
given to the poorest little boy we can
find in the street." The servant was
dispatched on this freezing night, and
not far from the house he found rag
ged urchin, trembling with cold and
burger. He brought him up, as order
ed, into the gay saloon, where thous-
and lights glittered, and a sparkling fire
gladdened the eyes of the poor little
fellow. Dumbfounded and surprised,
he drew the portion which the benevo-
lent lady had promised, and, as luck
would have it, the little fellow found
the "ring," (beans they use in Paris in
stead, } and of course he was "king."
They all shouted out that being a king
he must choose queen. He was asked
to, and looking around the company
he chose the very lady who had pro-
posed to cede her portion of the cake.
He was asked why he chose her. He
said, al don't know; she looks the
most like motherl" "Mother! whose
mother!" "My mother l never
knew her, but was stolen away from
her, and here is her portrait" With
this he drew from out his ragged coat
likeness which proved to be that Of
the very lady herself, who, in Italy,
had her child stolen from her, and now
he turns up poor little ragged Sayo-
yard, dragging along a miserable ex-
istence in Paris, while his mother, by
an intuition, perhaps, felt that in the all
near to where she was was~one so dear
to her.

Goodwin smith ON Grant.

Prof. Goldwin Smith, the celebrated
English liberalist and reformer, says
"The course of events seems still tc
point to the Presidency of Gen. Grant
In revolutions men live fast and charac
ters change rapidly. 1t would be pre-
sumption for one not on the spot to at
tempt to pronounce judgment on indi
vidual claims, or, indeed, on any detail;
of the present situation. But all that
heard of Gen. Grant when | was in the
country, led me to believe that lie com.
bined the highest qualities of soldier
with the best instincts of a citizen, that
he was high-minded, unselfsh, wise,
devoted to the Republic, thoroughly
worthy of the confidence of the people,
and, though not a trained statesman,
likely to make good head Of the nation
in peace as well as in war. 1t would
be happy thing indeed for the nation
if he could be raised to power, not as
the mere candidate of a party, but by
a really national vote"

Qoetrp,
MARCH WINDS.

Listen, Kitty, my darling,
Here, by the tireside bright;
Do you know what the winds are saying,
Abroad in the gusty night:
Moaning under the windows,
Like the voice of a child that grieves
Making the naples shiver
And eak at the cottage caves =?
Listen, Kitty, my darling!
The winds are singing song
Of the spring that is softly stealing
From the su2nier lands along;
The snow-drops smile as they lear it
A smile for the springs sweet sake
And the shy little violets whisper,
"We hear, we are broad awake"
No matter, Kitty, my darling,
Though the March winds drearily blow
am sure that the daises are stirring
Down under the shelteriDg snow.
In spite Of the clustering weather
The crocus is budding again,
And the daffodils whisper together,
And wait for the April rain.

Some one, speaking of beautiful
girl with enthusiasm, said he was al
most in love with her, though her un-
derstanding was by no means brilliant.
" Pooh!" said Goethe laughing, Gas if
love had anything to do with under
standing. We love a girl for very
different things than understanding.
We love her for her beauty, her youth,
her mirth, her confdingness, her char
acter, with its faults, caprices, and
heaven knows what other inexpressible
charms; but we do not love her under
standing. Her mind we esteem, if it
is brilliant, and it may greatly elevate
her in our opinion; nay, more, it may
enchain US when we already love. But
her understanding is not that which
awakens and intiames our passions"

MORNING RHYMES.

Wake, little girl, for the sun is high,
And each little flower has opened its eye
The robins sing in the cherry trees,
And the clover bloom is a-buzz with bees
Wake, little boy, The cattle are loving,
Down IN the pasture old bessie is mooing,
Cairo is barking good morning, Bow-wow!
Get up, little boy, and be after the COW.
But first, before going TO work or TO play,
With grateful hearts let US kneel and pray,
Thanking the dear, good Father above
For His ceaseless care ard His tender love
Then we'll go down with sunshiny fac;s,
Ready to work, TO sing or run races
And all day long we will seek to do &
Only the things that are right and true

POETRY ON THE NOSE.


How very odd that poets should suppose
There is no poetry about the nose,
When plain as is mans nose upon his face
A noseless face would lack poetic grace
Noses have sympathy lover knows
Noses are always touched when lips are
kissing
And who would care to kiss if nose was
missing
Why, what would be the fragrance of q
rose
And where would be the mortal means Of
telling
Whether a vile or wholesome cdor flows
Around us, if we owned ro sense of smell
ing?
| know a nose-a nose no other knows
Meath starry eyes, Ger ruby lips it grows
There's beauty in its form, and music in iti
blows

A Notable Gas Quarrel.

The Toledo Commercial says: The
Adrian gas war has assumed serious
proportions. 1t seems that the gas
company were charging exhorbitant
rates for gas, and the City Council
CAME to direct issue with them, claim
ing that they must supply the city at
reasonable rates, under reasonable reg
ulations, or cease the manufacture with
in the city limits. The Company hav-
ing possession of the streets by their
pipes, claimed the right to use them,
Notwithstanding the objections of the
Council. The City Marshal, under the
order of the Council, cut the main pipe.
The Company sent workmen TO connect
the pipe, who commenced digging,
when they were arrested under an or
dinance prohibiting digging in the
streets.
| The Company then served an in
junction On the city officers restraining
them from interfering with the repair
of the pipe, aud again commenced
digging. A crowd gathered, the fire
bells were ruug, the engines were
run to the spot and commenced playing
upon the excavation, which soon 'ex-
tinguished " the labor of connecting
the pipe. A row impended, but did
not occur. The workmen fell to throw
ing out the water, and the engines
again began to play, but before pro-
ceeding far, the order granting the in
junction was vacated, the workmen
were arrested, and the excavation filed.
The city took up and destroyed over a
hundred feet of pipe, and the question
for the courts to settle is whether the
city can interfere with the pipes of the
Company when once peaceably laid
There is busy time among some able
lawyers on both sides, and meanwhile
the good people of Adrian are privil-
eyed to return to lard lamps and tallow
dips.

that nothing probably saved some of
the more verdant diners-out from be-

ANOTHER ADMIRABLE 0RDER.-The following
order from Gen. Hancock IL IN strict harmony
with the position which he assumed at the outset
OF his administration, and is the logical sequence
Of the sound and admirable doctrines which he
enunciated In his general order on assuming com.
mand OF the department. The reckless, arbitrary
and despotical manner in which Gen. Hancock's
predecessors conducted themselves had the effect
TO great extent, Of uns etting mems convictions
and shaking their confidence ia what had pre-.
viously been regarded as the axioms Of constitu-
tionsl government and public liberty. 1t is not
surprising that they have scarcely been able to
realize the change from the capricious rule of
military despotsm to that Of law and justice. The
evil consequences of the former period Of arbi.
trary government are seen in the frequency of
those applications for military interven-
ton, In civil affairs, to which General
Hancock refers. On this account the department
commander thinks proper to remind the public
that his proclaimed opinions are the guide of his
official conduct, and that they are not to lie
viewed as empty declaration and glitterirg
geDeralities. 1t is to be hoped that Gen. Han
cocks reiterated expression of fixed determiaa-
tion TO sustain and enforce the civil law and not
to interrupt its course will have the effect Of co.,.
vinciDg everybody that any attempts to indu
him to initiate the pernicious example Of his pre-.
deceEsors will meet with signal failure.
