Then married TO Ann Hathaway"

His "Call before the curtain"-then

The bard a botanist (6)-a beak Co.,
The bard skilled musician (S) too

Yet critics say Ga friendly stock)
That, though it's evident try,
Yet even can barely mock
The glimfner of his wondrous eye
One morning as a work framed,
There passed person, walking hard
''My gracious goodness - | exclaimed,
"How very like my dear old bard.
''Oh what a model he would make 70
/ rushed outside-impulsive me -
"Forgive the liberty take,
But you're so very''-'Stop, said he;
"You needn't waste your breath or time;
y
That you're an artist and that Pm

''You wish that would sit to you ?'
l clasped him mady round the waist,
And breathlessly replied-"I do 70
Gan right" said he, "but please make
haste"
led him by his hallowed sleeve,
And worked away at him apace,
j painted him till dewy eve,
There never was a nobler face
"Oh, SIR" said, ga fortune grand
Is yours by dint Of merest chance,
To sport his brow at secondhand
To wear his cast-off countenance
''To rub has eyes whene're they ache
To wear his badness ERE you're old
To clean has teeth when You awake
To blow has nose when you've cold ~
His eyeballs glistened in his eyes
sat and watched and smoked my pipe,
"Bravo ~ said, 81 recognize
The phrenzy of your prototype"
His scanty hair he wildly tore,
"That's right" said l, sit shows your
breed"
He danced-he stamped-he wildly swore-
"Bless me, that's very fine indeed ~
''Sir," said the grand shakesperian boy,
Continuing to blaze away,
'You think my face source of joy,
That shows you know not what you say.
'Forgive these yells and cellar-faps,
Pm always thrown in some such state,
When on his face well-meaning chaps
This wretched man congratulate.
''For oh, this face-this pointed chin
This nose-this brow-these eyeballs too,
Have always been the origin
OF all the woes | ever knew
'If to the play my way l find,
To see grand Shskespearian piece,
have no rest, no ease of mind
Until the authors puppets cease
''Men nudge each other-thus-and say,
This certainly is Shakespeare's son,
And merry wags (of course, in play)
Cry Author when the piece is done.
'In church the people stare at me,
Their soul the sermon never binds,
catch them looking round to see,
And thoughts OF Shakespeare fill their
minds.
"And sculptors fraught with cunning vile,
Who find it difficult to crown
A bust with Browns inspid smile,

RANDOM THOUGHTS No. rs.


A few days ago a Republican friend
expressed to me fears that Chief JUS
tice Chase would be nominated for the
Presidency by the copperheads. Now
this was strange idea to me. But the
same evening / received the Cincinnati
Gazette, which contained an editorial
upon the subject There is no doubt
that some of the copperheads are talk
ing seriously of doing this thing.
Will Salmon P. Chase turn traitor to
the principles which he has advocated
all his life? Nay verify. If he does,
then have lost all confidence in man.
Ifthe copperheads nominate Chase,
they must take him as he is, an anti
slavery man, in favor ofnegro suffrage,
and in favor of honestly paying every
dollar borrowed by the Government in
its extremity. When the Democracy
comes up to this point they will be in
advance Of the Republican party, and
it may count upon my vote.

shots In the country, and they had no desire TO
be perforated by him. No taunts were flung At
him by the re-eaters, and the glngerly retreat Of
such as did get into collision with him, was
often as amusing rs II was unmanly
and cowardly. Notwithstanding the stories told
about Mr. Wade, he is not rough or unmanner-
~ man. He Is plain. blunt, and Will swear at
times but there is always a tone of high digni-
ty about him, which indicates the honest, noble
nature of the man. No one can soy he was ever
familiar with Ben Wade not that he would re-
pei familiarity, but there Is quiet dignity
about him that prevents even his own children
from taking liberties with him. We never saw
one of his boys come into his presence that he
did not take of his hat and become formally po-
lite. This is not pleasant to Mr.. Wade. and he
often speaks of il with regret and wishes peo-
pie would treat him with more confidence and
cordlality. But IL is of no use; those who have
lived In the same house with him for years eau
not avoid being more or less formal with him.
One day we were telling Mr.. Wade what one Of
his boys wished, when he said: why does not
the boy come and tell me these things HIMSELF
Heis as shy Of me as If Iiwere,his worst enemy.
You all act mighty queer and tell me a. little as
you can help" | replied; 'Ihe truth Is, Mr.;
Wade we are little afraid Of you.n lie looked
up in surprise, and exclaimed: Afraid of me!
My God, what have Idone to make you afraid of
me?"
The good old man had indeed done nothing
never spoken cross word but thatdld not alter
the matter. No one could, some how or other,
be Intimate with him.
1t is great sport to see Wade enter into pO-
litleal contest with his enemies. With the air of
Cromwell he marches soelnnly straight to the
front, throws down the glove, draws his sword,
and he who takes itup knows he must slay or be
slain.

a~Whcn the Republican State con.
vention passed a resolution looking to-
wards reputation, we very freely ex-
pressed our dissent. That rascaly res
olution is attracting attention in higher
quarters. The Cincinnati Gazette a few
days ago had an editorial trying to ex-
plain away this resolution, and in the
course Of its remarks very truthfully
says
Ofcourse the resolution does not mean
q policy that would thus bo false to the
whole history of the Republican party.
The Republican party has always meant
that long before these bonds became
due, the promise Of the Government to
pay dollar on demand, should be met
at the Treasury with a real dollar. 1t
always meant that long before the
maturity of these bonds, the only legal
tender should bo gold and silver. That
is what this resolution means to the
great mass of the Republican party.
If 1t meant anything else to the drawers
OF it, the party will fling it back in their
faces as a cheat. If the Republican
party were to reduce its aims TO race
with the Democratic party toward re-
pudiation, the conclusion Of the genet-
al public would be, that it made no
difference which party they ran with
and that on general principles change
