"Mr.. Partin g.on, 10 rhc President


"Mrs. Partington," B. P. shillaber,
ESQ.,, of Boston, writes letter to Presi-
dent johnson, of which the following is
a copy:
Boston, January 5, 1869.
Andre,o Johnson, President Of the United
States:
SIR:-I am an humble citizen, whose
name may have, or not have reached
you, with no favor to ask beyond the
wish to be credited with sincerity, and
am desirous OF expressing to you the
admiration feel at the course you have
pursued since you assumed the reins of
government. am diffident about do
ing it,, lest you should interpret it as
patronage, but feel that none of us are
praised for our good deeds half so much
as we are blamed for our bad ones.
And for all you have done, the meas
ure has been running over with abuse
and vituperation, from malignant foes
and the faint praise of luke-warm
friends, and therefore l decide to give
you one word of praise from an hon.
est conviction that it is deserved. 1t
was my fortune to oppose your election
from wreng impression regarding
your position, and l was gratified to
find how true yoR were to the old land
marks of the Constitution, and l have
long wished to tell you so. / have
marked your course with profound in
terest, almost dreading lest you should
waver, but found you inflexibly con-
slant. Such fidelity as yeu have shown
amid inducements to change such as no
man ever met with before, denotes a
character strong as adamant, and your
place in the history of our times will be
an illustrious one: Your enemies, and
the enemies of our institutions, must
admit your fidelity to your obligations.
Good men, however blinded, must see
this, however far political demagogues,
whose hatred for you extends just so far
as they themselves have proved false
and dishonest, denounce you. People
are slow to think, but the right thought
comes at last in spite of prejudices, and
those who have vilified you through
dogmatic devotion to party, will grant
you honesty and accord you justice.
Your forbearance under abuse should
assure you a niche as high as that of Job
for patience. l thank you heartily for
myself, and thousands would do the
same for themselves were they as i'm
pulsive as am. 1t is not often that
men address waning pswer thus, but
the one who takes off the armor in tried
service is the more to be praised than
he who at the first assumes it; you will
pardon my presumption in addressing
you, but l could not help it, but pre-
sumo also upon tie that makes Ms
brothers, that may serve somewhat as a
voucher for my sincerity. With the
prOfoundest respect,
am, dear sir, yours very truly,
Is. p. SHILLABER.

Fried Potatoes.

There is nothing SO easy to get, and
yet so paltable for breakfast, with
thick, tender beefsteak or mutton
chop fizzing from the gridiron. To Try
raw potatoes properly, they should be
pared, cut lengthwise into slices, an
eighth of an inch in thickness, dropped
into pan over the fire containing hot
beef drippings, turned frequently, nice
ly Drowned all over, but never burned
The addition of little salt and pepper
while in the pan, and little houl
dredged over them, is an improve
ment.

Wall street nearly two miles. No sign
indicates the imperial occupant, except
that the upper story being occupied as

the hall, we notice the word "office," /"

we see table, few chairs, and desk,

is standing at work.

told me that his head was confused, as If from
some opiate; while in the course Of conversa-
tion it came out that our guide to Paris had
left by the early train that morning.
And now what were we to do? TO place our
case in the hands Of the police, or to make our
way hence to London the richer by nearly two
thousand pounds? For my part felt nervous
and unsafe; and finding my friend willing,
after packing my spoil in little valise, fearing
to place it in the hands of a banker though
almost afraid Of the money ITSELF we started
for the railway station, glad to be on the way
homeward
There was little crowding during the get
ting Of tickets, and for moment /, my friend,
and our luggage were separated. When we
met again the valise was gone
Once more there arose the question, should
we refer our case to the police, or hurry home?

They have carried the art of extortion at
fairs to q degree of perfection in Great Bri-
tain. Mr. Toolc, the comedian, strolled into "a
fair one afternoon at Dundee, where he hap
pened to be playing, and the managers of the
entertainment determined that he should add
TO their revenues. They asked him to give an
exhibition then and there, and pressed Linn So
strongly that he consented. The room was
then emptied and new admission fee was
charged TO all who entered. When Mr. Toole
himself went to the door the keeper protested
that he did not at all resemble Mr.. Toole, and
that if he wished to sec the comedian he must
pay. To even such demand the good-natured
man made no refusal, but paid for the privi-
lege of entering the hall to give an entertain
ment for which he received nothing.

The Modern knight.

Whose Is no more the stately tread,
The gravely courteous mien,
The linked mail and helmet head,
@me blade OF Syrian sheen;
VINO walks the ways OF common men,
IN hurrying haunts OF trade,
His arms, the ledger and the pen,
The ploughshare and the SPADE.
Whose splendor is no more the sun
or courts, the proud array,
In spurs OF knignthood wildly won
In some fierce fought ARRAY;
Whose dress, as sober 10 the glance
As autumn's brown leaf, HES
Unnoticed, on each breeze OF chance,
Or wind OF enterprise.
Who coolly scans his fellow-men
With philosophic eye;
Converses calmly, knowing when
To smile, or when TO sigh.
Nor tilts at twind-mills-saves his breath
To name them with sneer;
MacGregor, on his native heath,
From him had nought TO fear.
Who rides ne more through forest dim,
With half-drawn sword, and prayer
Upon his lips, or holy hymn.
To guard from evil there.
Who steps with dainty football, down
The church's throng-lined aisle,
And views the emblemed Cross aHd crown
With self-sufficient smile.
Whose chivalry to all the weak
Is proodess-who can cheat
The widow and the orphan meek,
And all their woes complete;
Whose highest aim is self, whose laugh
Greets wrong, who mocks at right,
Who bows before the golden calf
Is this the modern knight
All ne. Who loves not his own age.
With all its faults Of kind,
May rank as hermit learn'd or sage,
Bat leaves all love behind;
FoNhumaR hearts, since Adam, beat
With pulses still the same,
And change, which time must ever meet,
Is half-a change OF name.
And legal truth, pure knighthood's best,
A bright twinned star, still lies
Reflected from the earnest depths
or some clear human eyes;
What though the jesting cynic lurk
Upon the tongue words can
But challenge jest, when noble work
Proclains the cynic, man.
And honor, chivalry, live yet,
Deny It, ye who may;
Your cheeks with passioned tears Still wet,
In memory OF day,
When woke the loud, stern trump OF wars,
And gloHed each latent spark,
or knighthood, till a Held OF stars
Blazed o'er his scutcheon dark.
Az, chivalry is living yet,
Nor all laid meath the sod,
With lives, IA country's leng regret)
To country given and Ged;
Not less showed forth its lofty power,
Not less its pride OF will,
That hardest lesson Of the hour,
To suffer and be still.
SO daring in wars fierce melee,
So patient and 80 strong,
To bear reverse, what ninstrel's lay,
What peet's sweetest song
Can tell Of Coeur de Lions more,
Or hymn Crusaders storyY
Pass by the vaunted days OF yore,
From glory unite glory
In He's great tournament, the knights
Wage kindly contest ever,
Not din In distance, all the lights
OF fchivalric endeavor;
whoever doubts new takegood heed,
Or keep his viZor down,
Fer doubt Is doubts deserved NEED,
AS trust Is honor's crown. lLATIESSB.

A Story for Moderate
Drinkers.

An old friend of the late Judge
Fletcher, of Bostop, relatsd,to the
writer, many years ago, the follow
ing characteristic anecdote: Mr..
Fletcher when ayoung man, board
ed in the old Exchange Coffee
House. Without much oonsidera-
tion, be had fallen in with the drink
ing fashion Of the day, so far as to
to have a glass of spirits and water
brought to bis room every night, to
take on going to bed as a "night-cap."
One night an unusual press of compa-
ny prevented the barkeeper from
carrying up Mr. Fletcher's night
dram. The Squire didn't regard it
as quite the thing Tor him tc go TO
the bar and get his grog, and SO be
went to bed without his ''night-cap."
But to sleep, be could not. All
night long he tumbled about for lack
Of bis accustomed drink. And as
be did so, his active and discrimina-
ting mind worked most diligently
The fruit Of his reflections appeared
next morning, when, on getting up,
weary and worn by bis hard restless
night, Mr.. Fletcher went directly to
the bar-keeper: "Mr--, you
didn't bring up my brandy and wa
ter last night, and as consequences
/ have slept little or none all night y
The bartender was very sorry.
This neglect should not occur again.
s'Not so,' rtjoined Mr.. Fletcher
"Never bring me another drop oil
liquor unless ] order it. II it has
come to this, that / cant sleep with
out the help Of lumber Of toddy,
it is high time that / stopped drink
ing, and broke up the dangerous
habit"
From that day Mr.. Fletcher be-
came a thorough-goiDg temperance
man,
