The maxim that "evcry man ls the arch
Itect Of his own fortune" has boon strik-
ingly verified and illustrated In the history
OF American statesmen. The following
collection Of facts respecting some of our
great men may prove interesting: "very
few Of the fathers Of our Republic wero
the inherltors of distinction. Washington
was almost the only gentleman by right
Of birth In all that astonishing company
Of thinkers and actors. Two or three
Vlrginlans, John Jay, Of New York, and
half dozen meaner men from other prov.
lnces were exceptions. But Franklin was
apnnter's boy; Sherman, q shoemaker;
Knox was book.binder; Green, a black
smith; John Adams and Marshal, the sons
Of poor farmers; and Hamilton, the most
subtle, fiery, and electrical, but at tho
same time the most composed and order
ly genius OF all, excepting the unap-
proachable Chief, was Of as humble par
entage rs the rest, and himself, at the be-
ginning, clerk or shop-keepcr. And II
we came down to late period, Daniel
Webster was the son Of country farmer
and was rescued from the occupation Of
drover only by the shrcwd observation Of
Christopher Gore, whom he called upon
for advice In respect to difficulty arising
from the sale Of q pair Of steers; aud
John G. Calhoun was the son Of tanner
and currier; the father Of Henry Clay be-
longed to the poorer class Of Baptist min
listers; Martin Van Buren,, during the tlt.
fnl leisure Of the day, gathered pine knots
TO light his evening studies; Thomas Cor
win was WAGNER; Silas Wright, by her
itage, u machinIst. In later times we have
had Lincoln, Of the hatboat; johnson the
tailor; Grant, the tanner; Wilson, the
shoemakcr's apprentice; and many others
among our statesmen, who receive the APP
plause aud reverence OF mankind. passed
their earlier years at what, In other coun-
tries. would DO almost impossible dis
tances from the emlncnces which they now
enjoy. I- '.-
AL this Is encouraging to our aspiring
young men who would dare, and do.rather
than lean on the reputation Of their anccs-
tors. THI .#
In the old monarchies the question Is,
What Is your pedigree; or who were your
progcnitors? Here, la our Republic, the
orlestlon Is, What have you dOnul what

We sang together, You and I,
In quiet church, sweet songs ofpraisc;
Your voice was like an angels voice,
Your face was an angels face.
We knelt together, you and L,
In that dim old church in sight OF heaven,
And you prayed a prayer that the angels know
That sin may be forgiven.

In the happy groves where wood-birds sing,
But sweeter were the pleasant words
That you kept murmuring.
They beat In time with our glad hearts,
Old words they were from some old song;

As we two wandered on.

The Three L,tfIe chairs.

They sat alone by the bright wood fre,
The gray.halred dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming Of days gone by;
The tear-drops told on each wrinkled check;
They both had thoughts that they could nc
speak, .... ~
As each heart uttered a sigh.
For their sad and tearful eyes deserted
Three little chairs placed side by side,
Against the sitting room wall;
Old-fashioned enough rs there they stood,
Their seats Of nag and their frames Of wood,
with their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said
Another, those empty chairs
They bring MS such sad, sad thoughts tonight,
Wen put them forever out Of sight,
In the small, dark room, mp stairs"
But she answered, "Father, no, not yet,
Tor I look at them andI forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and our Mary too,
With her apron on ofcheckered blue,
And sit here every day.
Johnny stiIl whites a ships tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
And Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up 10 God from those little chairs,
SO soflly that no one knows.
Johnny comes back from the biliow deep,
Willie wakes from his battle-sleep,
To say agood-night to me;
Marxbz n wife and mOth.f no more.
Hut tired child whose play time is DER,
And comes to rest on my knee.
So let them stand there, though empty now,
And every time when alone We bow
At the Fathers throne 10 pray,
Wen ask tomeet the children above,
In our saviour's home OF rest and love,
Where no child goeth away"
