Some time last fall a stranger applied
to certain lady, who keeps boarding
house in this city, for board He was a
foreigner, and his manner and conversation
bespoke him to be a gentleman. The
lady took him as boarder, and he re.
manned with her until the month of April
last. While boarding at her house, he be-
came acquainted with bakers daughter,
to whom, in due time, he was betrothed.
He was unremitting In his attentions to
hisafianced, and "all went merry as mar
riage bell" One fine day last month";
there was such a day-he announced to
his landlady that he was about leaving the
city, and to her profound establishment in
formed her that he was a Russian noble
man, and showed her papers and passport
verifying his statement. He told her that
he was compelled, several years ago, to fly
his native land, to escape the consequences
of the displeasure of the Car, which dis
pleasure he had incurred for some sup
posed political offense; that he had just
received letter from his father, high
dignitary of the empire, informing him
that the Gar had pardoned him, and that
he must return Immediately The Count,
for such he is, babe adieu to the bakers
daughter, and departed, assuring her that
he should return again and claim her as
his bride.-Nsw Haven Journal.

" WE'LL FIGHT 1T OUT HERE ON
TIE OLD UNION LINE"

1.-THE following is the song that was sung in the
Republican National Convention, after Grants
nomination. 1t is the composition of George r.
Root, of the music firm of Root 81 Cady. Chi
cagol:
Well rally again to the standard we bore
Ger battle fields crimson and CORY,
Shouting hail TO the chief" who in freedoms
fierce war,
Hath covered that banner with glory.
CHORUS.
Then rally again, then rally again,
With the soldier, and sailor, and hummer,
And We ii fight ii out here, the old Union line,
No odds If it takes US all summer
Well rally again. by the side Of the men
Who breasted the conflicts fierce rattle,
And they'll find us still true, who were true to
them then,
And babe them g God speed - in the battle.
Well rally again. and 'that flag of the free
Shall stay where our heroes have placed IL,
And ne'er shall they govern, on land or on sea,
Whose treason hath spurned and disgraeed it.
We'll rally again, and our motto shall be,
Whatever the nation that bore us,
God bless that old banner, the flag of the free,
And all who would die with IL DER us.

Things a Man Can't Do.

Jennie T. Hazen," in the Chicagodn,
says there are some things man can't do,
as follows:
Some woman, in a sudden burst of in
genuousness, has acknowledged that there
are some things a woman can't do, and
expresses unbOunded admiration for the
men who do these things so deity.
Well, what if they can do two or three
things better than a woman? l, for one,
am not going into ecstacies over them,
nor will make standing exclamation
point of myself because they can "do up "
a bundle and carry an umbrella.
Woman can do hundred things that
they can't, but they never think of max
ing great fuss over it.
One thing man can't do is to own up
frankly that he can't do everything better
than woman can. Another thing he
can't do is, to carry "the baby" I've
tried them, and / know. You just take
one-a baby, mean-and "do it up" in
blankets and shawls, all snug and nice,
and give it to Joseph to carry; and while
you are putting on your sacque and hat,
just keep your eye on the baby, and you
will see an ominous squirming in the bum
die, and hear certain half-smOthered-but
to you understOod-sounds. Upon
investigation, you will find the baby very
red in the face, and its heels where its
head ought to be. You take it and shake
it up little, give it a soft pat here and
there, and restore it to him "right side
up"
Will he acknowledge it was his fault
Will he confess he don't know how to carry
the baby? Not bit of it, He will insist
that you gave it to him wrong side up, or
that it was the proper mode of carrying a
baby.
Thirdly, as our parson used to say, about
the time that he ought to have said " seven
teenthly and lastly''-he can't hook up a
lady's dress at least he couldn't years ago,
when ladies wore them hooked up in The
back There were always three or four
hooks and eyes that couldn't reach, and
times without number I've called upon
"my John" to hook them. The good,
clumsy fellow would tumble away with
fingers that were all thumbs, while he
grew red in the face with his efforts to
make the plagued things hitch" giving
it up at last with, Hang the things. Why
don't you have buttons as zee dos"
Let me think What else is there that
ne can't do? He can't make tatting, or
crotchet; he can't wear crinoline, nor
manage two yards of trail; he can't wear
"love of a bonnet" or balmoral boot !;
and last, and best of all, he can't say mo"
to an offer of marriage, and that's the bless
eldest privilege we women have.

The Art OF Making Money.

a sensible writer says: OF all the arts
that have ever interested humanity, this is
the one which nine-tenths of the civilized
world most desire to understand and prac-
tice. Lectures have been delivered upon it
by practical men but it is not Oh record
that the people who listened to them ever
made as much by the lesson they received
as they paid for the tickets of admission
The truth is, that to call money making an
art is mistake. To make money on any
thing like grand scale requires special
faculty or a combination of faculties, with
which not one man in a thousand is en-
dswed. Whoever has this qualification
can make fortune, though he may possess
but the rudiments of an education; who
ever lacks it will probably fail to do so,
though his mind is a store-house of learn
ing. What people mistakenly call the art
of money-makingis simplythe application
of an innate knowledge of human nature
to pecuniary purposes. This Unborn faculty
of reading the brain, and of the under
standing how TO make the most of the
perusal, is great gift, and may be turned
to account in nobler ways, perhaps, than
as means of reaping golden harvests.
The manner of the direction depends upon
the other faculties. If its possessor loves
riches more than fame, it will make him
rich; if fame more than wealth, it will
make him famous. But reader, if you
have it not, don't try to become CrGsus
by coup de main in finance The chances
are "all the world to China orange"
that you make disastrous and ridiculous
failure. Don't trust to stroke Of good
luck" to make up for that Midas gift which
turns whatever it takes hold of into the
circulating medium. Strokes of luck, in
the strict sense of the word are much more
rare than solar eclipses or any other I'M
common celestial phenomena.

GRANNIES TRUST.

Dtuf OEu uufc ~ Win Us no lOnCcrt
Her hair. that was white % the snow,
Was parted one morning forever,
He on b nsf ne iss ling ihs sSss and low
To tell US the road she had trOd
With waymarks like footsteps to tell us
The way she had gone mp to God.
No wonderful learning had Grannie,
She knew not the path Of the stars.
Nor aught Of the comets wide cycle,
Nor Of Nebuas dim cloudy bars:
But she knew how the wise men adoring
Saw star In the East long ago;
She knew how the first Christmas anthem
Came down to the shepherds below.
She had her own test, remember,
For people-whoe'er they might be-
When we spoke Of the strangers about US,
But lately come over the sea;
Or Laura, and Lizzie" and Jamie"
She listened, and whispered II softly
Ny dear, are these friends meetin'-folks.'
When our John went away to the city
With patrons, whom all the world knew
To be sober and honest great merchants,
For Grannie this all would not do;
Till she pulled at Johns sleeve in the twilight
To be certain before he had gone;
And he smiled a. he heard the old question
Are You sure they are meetin' folks, John .
When Minnie came home from the city,
And left heart and happiness there
saw her close kneeling by Grannie,
With the dear wrinkled hands on her hair;
And amid the low sobs Of the maiden
Came softly the tremulous tone
he wasn't like meetin'-folks, Minnie:
Dear child, you are better alone"
And now from the corner we miss her;
We hear that reminder no more;
But still, unforgotten. the echo
Comes back from that far-away shore;
Till Sophistry sinks in the corner,
Though Charity sweet has her due,
Yet We feel, II we want to meet Grannie,
'Twere best to be meetin' folks, too.
