Two MORE LooKING-GLAss STORIES

Two MORE LOOKING GLASS STORIES.
Talking about looking glasses, reminds
us of good old lady who sat down in the
store of a friend, one day, close to large
and very clear mirror, which went FROM
the ceiling to the floor. She saw herself
in the glass, but thought it was somebody
else, and in a few moments went to the
young lady clerk and said to her: "Whd
is that old lady who was sitting alon gside
of me 2"
But that was no worse than gentle
man who came down the stairway of one
of the New York hotels, and, seeing his
image reflected in large look ing glass in
the hall, near the foot Of the stairs, he
thought it was his brother, and smiled and
nodded his head. His 'brother" did the
same He did not find out his mistake
until he went up to the glass to shake
hands. Butthat will do for looking-glasses:

Ploughed his red furrow,
Out of the narrow CABIN,

Gathered the little black people,
With freedom newly lowered,
Where. beside the northern teacher,
Stood the soldier, Howard.
He listened and heard the children
OF the poor and long-enslayed
Reading the words OF Jesus,
Singing the songs OF David.
Behold the dumb lips speaking,
The blind eyes seeing
Bones of the Prophets vision
Warmed into being f.
Transformed he saw them passing
Their new life's partial;
Almost it seemed the mortal
Pat on the immortal.
No more with the beasts OF burden,
No more with stone and clod,
But crowned with glory and honor
In the image of God a
There was the human chattel
Its manhood taking;
There, in each dark, bronze statue,
A soul was waking
The man of many battles,
With tears his eyelids pressing,
Stretched over those dusky foreheads
His one-armed blessing.
And he said : "Who hears can never
Fear for or doubt you;
What shall tell the children
Up North about you?"
Then ran round a whisper, murmur,
Some answer devising;
And little boy stood up; "Massa,
Tell EN- we're rising"

Held both in tether:

The black and white together!

Shall the dark faces only
Be turned to morning?

All-healing, all-redressing;
Meet Fate half way and make it

MELANCHOLY DAvE.-Years ago |
wrote very careful notice of Edwin
Booths Hamlet-some time before he
had made his impersonation famous-and
was vexed to read in the morning paper
of his intellectual rendering of the mel
ancholy Dave" Butth change ofa sin
gle letter had made the phrase SO ridicu
lous that could not he lip but laugh. If
I had wanted revenge, | should have had
it in excess, for the printers caught up the
unfortunate expression and fairly drove
the poor fellow out of the Office with it.
He had several fghts--in some of them
he was victorious, IN others he was van
quished but nothing could prevent his
being dubbed the" Melanchly Dave; and
'Dave Hamlet" "How are you Dave?"
''Tell us about old Dave Hamlet" greet
ed him whenever he made his appearance.
I perpetrated joke to shield him, ack-
nowledging that it was enough to make
any man melancholy not to have ' to
his name. But it was of no benefit to the
prosecuted. He was doomed. He went
from one Office to another; in each the
Melancholy Dave was hurled at him.
He left the city and sought refuge from
the hateful sobrtquet hundreds Of miles
away It travelled with him like the
spectre with the disloyal knight. He
abandoned his calling, When the war
broke out he enlisted ON the Southern
side, and fell in a desperate cavalry
charge. That nickname drove him to
death The last memory that haunted
him must have been that of the 'Melan-
choly Dave" e."-Junius Henri Bropne.
S3me say that it is of no use for them to
advertise, that they have been in the place
in business all their lives and everybody

to take in consideration that our country
is increasing in population nearly ~ per
cent. every ten years, and no matter now
old the place may be, there are constant
changes taking place some move to other
parts, and strangers ELL their places. In
this age of the world, unle SIS the name OF
business firm is kept constantly before
the public, some new firms may start up,
and, by literally advertising, IN very
short time take the place OF the older

THE BIRD AND THE MIRRoR.-One
bright, sunny day last Autumn, as / was
retiring from the dinner-table of friend,
IN the country, casting my eye through
the bow-window, my attention was attract
ed by little brown bird, sitting on the
ground near mirror, which the coach
man had brought from the city that
morning, and left leaning against the wing
Of the house. A group of friends and
children Immediately gathered around to
look at the "birdie,'' and with one voice
we said it had received an injury, and
could not fly; but the next moment we
found ourselves mistaken; for it took wing
and was off. Very soon, however, it re-
turned, taking it's place again before the
mirror; and by its movements We soon
discovered that it was watching its own
reflection in the glass ss-mistaking it for an
enemy. 1t gazed moment, mo ed its
head toward one side, then toward the
other raised its feathers, stepped back
little the reflection Of course making
the same defiant movements-and then,
with all its power, rushed forward to strike
its foe. The force with which it struck
the mirror was such as to send it back.
ward. Recovering itself little, it would
resume the same position, and repeatedly
go through similar movements. Then it
would fly away for two or throe minutes.
then returning it would repeat its attacks
with but little variation, till it was again
tired, Sometimes, before flying away to
recruit, it would step behind the glass, as
if looking for its foe there The bird was
left undisturbed by the family, though it
was closely watched till sunset. [ do not
think it was absent five minutes at one
time
