CHAPTER I.

ought to have told you before this,
that in the above / have all along been
speaking of the Great Grand Duchy OF
Schloschenboschenstein, and that the
Copp aforesaid was acaptain in the great
Grand Duchess army.
Her majesty was at that period at war
with the Great Grand Duke of the next
kingdom but one-about ten miles of
and we were having it out-if / may
use that vulgarism-upon the kingdom
of the Great Grand Duke next door,
who was threatening an action for tres
pass against both parties.
Relative to this action for trespass,
Captain Copp and his company, and my
self and a couple of Junior clerks, waited
upon the Grand Duke next door, and
took few field pieces with us by way OF
backing up our arguments. The Great
Grand Duke, with some more field pie
ces, met us to arrange preliminaries.
The particulars OF this transaction are
of no moment to the coming narrative
Suffice it to say, then, that one saot only
was fired, and that shot was fired by the
enemy, and by mistake. Unfortunately,
Captain Copp and |, being at that mo,
meat in advance of the soldiery, and
within range of said shot, having little
private quarrel on our own account, we
lost our heads.
Affairs were then amicably arranged
without further bloodshed.

The Fame Of washington

Taxille Delord concludes an article
written in commemoration of the seven
tieth anniversary of the death of Wash
ington, for the Paris Steele. as follows:
''The detractors of the American Re-
public sometimes ask, with sncer, what
it has done for the progress of the hu-
man mind what types in literature or the
arts it has created !? The great Republic
can answer:;'
81 have given to the modern world its
ideal citizen. When this great man was
descending into the tomb mourncd by
free men, leaving in its cradle a nation
destined to grow in influence daily, be-
lated Caesar was getting ready to mount
the throne of France. Napoleon fell in
the midst of the bloody ruins which his
ambition had accumulated, leaving his
country in the hands Of foreigners. The
glory of Napoleon grows paler and pa
Ter, while Washington's grows constant
ly more lustrous. 1t is the same with
the ideas the two respectively represent.
Casarism is disappearing; the Republic
is taking possession of the world..'

Under the lamp-lights, dead in the street,
Delicate, fair and only twenty;
There she lies,
Face to the skies,
Starved to death in city of plenty.
Spurned by all that is pure and sweet.
Passed by busy and careless feet
Hundreds bent upon folly and pleasure,
Hundreds with plenty, time and leisure
Leisure to speed Chrisgs mission below,
To teach the erring and raise the lowly-
Plenty in charity's name to show
That life has something divine and holy.
Boasted charms-classical brow,
Delicate features-look at them nowi
Look at her lips-once they could smile;
Eyes-well, never more shall they beguile;
Never more, never more words of hers
A blush shall bring to the saintliest face,
She has found, let US hope and trust,
Peace in higher and better place. .
And yet, despite of all, still, Tween,
Joy of some heart she must have been;
Some fond mother, proud of the task,
Has stopped to finger the dainty curl;
Some proud father has bowed to ask
A blessing for her, his darling girl,
Hard to think, as we look at her there,
OF all the tenderness love and care,
Lonely watching and sore heart-ache,
AL the agony, burning tears,
fg Joys and sorrows, hopes and fears,
S Breathed and suffered for her sweet sake.
Fancy will picture a home afar,
Out where the daisies and buttercups are, S
Out where the ife-giving breezes blow,
Far from these sodden streets, foul and low;
Fancy will picture lonely hearth,
And an aged couple dead to mirth,
Kneeling beside a bed to pray;
Or lying awake o nights to bark
For thing that may come in the rain and tn
dark,
A hollow-eyed woman with weary feet.
Better they never know
She whom they cherished so,
Lies this night lone and low,
Dead in the street.

A RATTLE-BRAIN STORY.
BY CHARLES H. ROSS.
PROLOGUE.

l don't believe there ever was man
who hated another man as l hated Copy.
One reason for this l imagine to have
been that there never was man half as
hateful as Copp.
Copp was captain--a military man
a boaster, a blusterer, and a bully; a
coxcomb, fop, and libertine. His
ways were roguish, his acts dishonest,
his word wholly unreliable. While /
was quite the contrary.
From my earliest youth / had been
distinguished from other small boys for
my goodness and piety Before / could
speak plainly. began to lecture bad
boys on the subject Of their sinfulness.
They used 10 punch my head in return.
1 can, indeed. with deep and heartfelt
pleasure look back upon pure and spot
less life. Gentle reader, go thou and do
likewise.
This fellow Copp, however, was in the
end the cause of my undoing From the
first moment We saw one another we be-
gan to disagree. How could it be 9th
erwise-I so good, he so utterly de-
PRAYED
was the chief Of the Paper-weight
and Pounce. e.box Department of the Cir
cumlocution, and Captain Copp's ac
counts came before me for regulation.
1t was Christmas time, and We were
somewhat in arrear with the checking of
the Lady-day payments. Copp came
and tried to hurry US.
We endeavored to show him how un-
reasonable he was He wouldn't be
shown. We told him his affairs would
come on in their proper course. He
wanted to know when that was likely to
occur.
He kept on coming and wanting to
know. / told him, individually it did
not rest with me. He asked whom it did
rest with, and / referred him to another
department. The other department, as
is customary in such cases, referred him
back.
We kept on referring him.
Eventually his papers were found un-
der a. paper weight on my table, where
hitherto it had been accidentally over
looked. Whereupon Captain Copp kick
ed me; but fortunately this circumstance
occurred in the privacy of my own de-
partment, and therefore did not matter
so much.
l was, however, seriously displeased.

TALK About GHOSTS.-AT BED
TIME.
By MRS. s. NJ. 3. PIATT.

.Eaoh Of us carries within us future ghost y
What is ghost? 'It is something white
tAud guess it goes barefooted, too,|
That comes from the graveyard in the night,
When the doors are locked and breaks right
through
What does it doo
"Ohl it frightens people ever so much.
And goes away when the chickens crow; y
And-doesn't steal any spoons, OF touch
One thing that isn't its own, you know
Who told you SO?
SOMEBODY dy-everybody almost;
OrI know myself when this world begun.
Not even general could kill ghost
wish the Lord had never made one
s ~ They hate the sun?"
No, sweetest Of all wee brown-eyed girls,
They love the light-'tis the dark they fear;
Love riches and power, love laces and pearls,
Love-all the preachers call vanity here.
This much is clear,
"Do they love 10 be dead2 / can hut tell
That few Of them. greatly love to die; ~
Perhaps they doubt whether oil is well
In the place where ghosts-yes, "up il ths
sky. Si'ia, q !
You wonder why? s
They love their Clothes land want to keep
dressedi
Whether new and prettily white and red,
Or gray and ragged, It's hard at best, ~ z
To take them off-though the prayers are
said 1o,.
And go to bed.

CHAPTER III.

/ don't so much blams the doctor. 1t
was not altogether his fault. 1t is true
he might have had the sense to know
that Copp's head could never have be-
longed to me; but personally he was un-
acquainted with us. We were both
about the same size, only Copp was per-
haps more muscular. -s4
Hitherto l had prided myself on the
beauties of my mind, while Copp had
been vain about the shape of his legs.
Copp had calves, 1 hadn't. BY the way,
Copp had not got large ones either
The cause of the error l take it to
have been, that our bodies were undress
ed before the operation was performed.
When it was concluded. and we came to
dress again, / got Cops clothes and
Copp got mine, and there was little
matter of fifty gold pieces in my pocket,
which Copp appropriated.
But that was triae to my other mis-
fortunes Copp's body walked off with
my head to the Paper-weight and
Pounce.box Department; while ] was
left with Copp's brains pn my shoulders,
and military career before pe, for
which ] hal neither the muscle nor the
inclination. s
