Translated from the German
The Esurcss Pearl.

Beside the church door, a.weary and lone,
A blind woman sat on the cold door stone;
The wind was bitter, the snow tell iast'
And a moching voice in the ftiu Dlase
Seemed ever 10 echo her moaning cry,
As she begged her aims OF the passer.-ey'
Have lily on me, have PITY, pray,
NV back is bent and my hair Is grey.
The bella wars ringing the bour OF prayer,
4 nd many good people were gathered lheIe,
Bpt covered with fnrs and nantes warm.
They hurried past through the wlntry storm.
Some were hoping their souls to save,
And somc we're thinking of death and the grave,
And alasi they had no time 10 heed
n e moor soul asking for charity need.
And somc we're blooming with beauty's grace
i Mt closely mufied in wells of lace;
They saw not the sorrow, nor heard not the mean
OF her who sat on the cold door stone.
At last came one of mob name,
By the city counted the weallhiest dame,
And the pt arls that DER her neck were strung
She proudly there to tho beggar flung.
Then followed a maiden young and fair,
Adorned with clusters OF golden hair;
But her dress was thin, and sranty. snd worn,
MOI even the beGgar's seemed more for. ON.
With fearful look and plying sigh,
She whispered SOFT mo Jewels have l.
But give you my prayers, good fr end" said she
'And surely know G ID listens<o me-"
On tie poor white hand, so shruDken and small,
The bind woman elt a tear-dTop fall,
Then kissed It ard said to the weeping girl,

SENSIBLE DoDGE.-Our Richmond hack
drivers are not half as sharp as our hotel por-
tiers, as they never fatter strangers with COM
plimentary titles. Now this is not the case in
Washington, where every shrewd cab driver
divides all well dressed people into generals
and senators. Only let middle-aged man of
military appearance come out of hotel, and
he is sreeted wih-"A carriage, General?"
but ii he be on the shady side of fifty, and of
dignified mein, it is ga carriage, Senator-to
the Capitol, sir?" Now it is not at all singu-
lar that these breyet titles, although imposed
by hack drivers, secure customers-all men OF
certain grade of intellect, after they reach
forty, think they either ought to be generals
or senators, and are not unwilling to reward
even cabman, who is more deserving than
the non-appreciative mass of their fellow citi-
zpns. The joke is told of a well-known Vir-
ginian, as case in point in consequence OF
being addressed everywhere he went as "Sen-
ator," he actually spent an entire day, last
winter, while at Washington, in cab riding, to
the neglect of important business.-Rich-
