How Some of the Senator's Look.

Barson Brownlow, the Richeiieu
of Tennessee, still sits the mark of
curious wondering eyes, with the
look Of a dying man, but with his
old obstinate spirit of vitality and
fight strong in Thin yet-outwardly
all a tremble with disease inwardly,
all will and fixed resolve-an as
pen with the heart Of an oak. ST.
mon Cameron seems still vigorous,
and bears in his high-bred face the
shrewd, sagacious look of a man
who sees deep and far-in his cool,
cautious way, political prophet.
Senator Nye looks what he is, man
Of ''infnite JEST and 6onhomte.
Carl Schurz seems to the manner
senatorial born--has the air of an
elegant scholar, and happily retains
but few marks of the soldier.
The two blondes of the Senate
Conkling, of New York, and Stew
art, of Nevada-are esteemed men
of mark by the galleries. They
came as they went--the one with
his glossy pet curl still lying like a
sunny peninsula, in the broad ex-
panse Of his brow-the other look
ing as though the winds of the
Sierra were yet playing with his
wild locks-one dainty, the other
careless-one the last result of
Eastern civilization, the other a
Western man of the best type.
Both are men Of admirable ability,
but one knows it, and the other
doesn't-or one is alert and the
other a little lazy. Mr.. Carpenter,
of Wisconsin, Of whose eloquence
we have heard great things, looks,
on the whole, up to his reputation.
He is dark, and powerfully made
People say he is like Webster, but

about the Senate chamber, with his

too energetic for q saunter, yet sug-

That the MASON & HAMLIN CAB

proved by the almost unanimous oDin-

now making better organs than ever

They quite forget their toll and care,
And drop their heavy burdens there,

That Spring Water.

An invalid lady heard much of the
beneficial properties Of the water from
a certain spring some distance from
where she resided. She had read a
pamphlet that enumerated many dis
eases for which it was specific. among
which she recognized at least half a
dozen with which she was afflicted
Much to her joy, she was told that her
son had to visit the very town where it
was located, and a FIVE gallon keg and
strict injunction were laid upon him to
bring back some of the water.
The keg was put into the phaeton.
and, slipping under the seat, was over
look ID. The business was urgent, and
took some time to perform it, and the
water was quite forgotten. lie had got
near home in the evening, when, kneel.
ing down under the seat for something,
he felt the keg. To go hack was not
to be thought of, ard to admit his stu.
pidity was impossible.
lie therefore drew his horse up by n
wall near which was an old well from
which the family had drank for cen.
tdry, and filing the keg, went home.
The first question was, "Did you get
the water
Eyes" said he, but hang me if |
can see any difference in il from any
other water; and he brought in the
kcg.
A glass was handed to the invalid.
who drank it with infinite relish, and
said she was surprised at her sons not
seeing any difference. There was up.
doubiedly a medical taste about il, aud
It did not fill her up as other water did,
which she Lad always heard of mineral
water.
Her son hoped il would do her good
and by the timo the keg was exhausted.
she was ready to give a certificate OF
the value Of the water, it having re.
lieyed her of all ailments.

The Effect of Exaggeration.

enough IN its original shape, but he
passes it on with little addition of his

adds his touch Of exaggeration, until at
last the statement is SO swollen and dis
torted as to convey anything but the
facts ofthe case. Take many statements
that have gone forth and obtained ere.

The worst Of it is that this mischief
is caused by the exercise Of mower

He's mourhful elf, and he sings To himself,
Aud weird, sad song sings he:
Oh, the lonely wind of nghtl
Nc thinks be sings to the ghosiy things
That crowd nights gloomy halls,
When the stars glare down, or the dark clouds
frown,
And the rain it drcarily falls:
Oh, the lonely wind Of nightl
He sings of the Past that few so fast,
Ofjoys that have gone for ave,
And of those that lie meath the hollow sky,
Deep, deep in the graveyard clay
Oh, the lonely wind Of night
The Summer is dead, and blight is shed,
Over her leaves aud flowers,
And the wind Of night bemoaDs their plight,
In dirge for the vanished hours:
Oh, the lonely wind ofnighti
As sit and hear that requiem drear
For the things that are no more,
To the ear Of thought is the uight-wind fraught
With a sad, mysterious lore;
Oh, the lonely wind of night!
And dream of the time when his dolefn

Will sound o'er tomb where
Must slumber deep. while he will sleep,
As now, all lonely by
