Gaest-"How comes this dead fly
in my soup?'
Waiter-sIu fact, sir, have no
positive idea how the poor thing came
to it's death. Perhaps it had not ta7
ken any food for long time, dashed
upon the soup, ate too much OF it,
cor rtracted an Inflammation. OF the
stomach that brought on death The
fiy must have very weak constitu-
ton, for when ] served the soup it
was dancing merrily upon the surface.
Perhaps-and the idea presents itself
only at this moment-it endeayored to

Mors VENT.

Mors VENT! On his sable wings,
The pale-faced angel silent flies:
On all his blleful breath he filings,
And the dropping mortal dies.
Mors VENT All the slackening pulse.
The feeble breath, the languid limb,
The achings that our frames convulse,
The harbinger of him.
Mors VENT /! Every dropping flower,
AsanSnmer's breath forsakes the bower
And every withered leaf that falls,
Memento more loudly calls.
Mors VENT! When this wasted frame
Must yield life's ftful element,
Resigned and calm may exclaim,
"The last of earth; ] am content"

The Old and New Ways.


y -- --r. g
= I've just come in from the meadow
wife, where the grass is tall and green
1 hobbled out upon my cane to see
:. Johns new machine;
1t made my old eyes snap again to
: see that mower NOV,
And heaved sigh for the scythe
1 swung some twenty years ago.
Manyand many's the day I've now
,, ed, meath the rays Of the scorrhing SUN,
, Till 1 thought my poor old back
wo'd break ere ever my task was done;
L often think of the days of toll in
the fields, all over the farm,
Till felt the sweat ON my wrinkled
brow, and the pains come in my ar1i.
1t was hard work, it was slow work,
swinging the old scythe then;
Unlike the mower that goes through
the grass like death through the ranks
of men;
stood and looked till my old eyes
ached amazed at its speed and power,
I The work that it took me day to
do is done in one short hour.
John said that hadn't seen the half,
when he puts it into his wheat,
1 shall see it reap and rake it, and
drop it in bundles neat;
That soon Yankee will come along
and set to work and iarh,
To reap it and thresh it, and bag it
up, ard send it into the barn.
John kinder laughed when he said
it, but said TO the hired men,
give seen so much on my pilgrim
age thro' my three score years and ten,
That I wouldn't be surprised to see
a railroad in the air,
Or Yankee in a flying ship, a.
going most anywhere"
There's difference in the work 1 |
did, and the work my boys now do;
In a moving the grass the old way
and moving it in the new;
But, somehow, 1 think there was hap
piness crowded into those toiling days,
That the fastyoung men of the pres
ent will not see till they change their
ways.
To think that 1 ever should live to
see work done in this wonderful way
Old tools are of little service now,
and farmin' is old play; ,,...,..
The women have got their SEWN ma
chimes, their wringers and every sich
thing,
And now play croquet in the door
yard, or sit in the parlor and sing.
'Twasn't you that had it so easy,
wife, in the days 50 long gone by;
You riz up early and sat up late a
toilin' tor you and I;
There were COWS to milk there was
butter to make and many day did
you stand, .r... !
a washing my toll stained garments
and wringin' 'em out by hand.
Ali wife, our children will never
see the hand work we haye seen,
For the heavy task and the long
task is now done with machine.
No longer the noise of the scythe 1
hear the mower-therel Hear itafar?
A rattlin' along thro' the tall stout
grass with the noise of railroad car.
Well the old tools now are showed
away; they stand a gathering rust,
Like many an old man have seen ,
put aside with only crust {
When the eyes grow dim, when the
step is weak, when the strength goes
,ut of his arm,' =.
The best thing a poor old man can
10 is to hold the deed of his farm.
There is one old way that they can't I
although It has been tried :
BY men who have studied, and stud :
ed, and worried until they died, S
1t has shown undimmed for ages, :
ike gold refined from its dross;
It's the way to the kingdom ofheav-
N by the simple way of the Gross {! !

and it may possibly be coupled with a
desire to see Horizons land sold.
/ He is said to have been an upright,
honorable man, but his independence
and even stubbornness in political

ties, had given him some trouble with

The blue.bIrds and robins red
This morning came In pairs:
Tho blue-blrds with much modesty,
The robins with much airs,
The morning winds moved gently
The reddening maple tree,
Where the blue.blrds and the robins
Piped their sptIng'tIme mInstrelsy.
The audience room was very large,
The audience rather small
Pcering through hRlfclOsed window bIIndI,

The curtain rose at break Of day,
DIGsolving into air;
The singers promptly were 10 place,
FOrmorning praise and prayer.
The little ehIrpIng soloIstS,
And ChorIsters n well,
THRILLED clearly all the higher notes,
And 10 the lowest fell
So perfectly, In time and tune,
So bllthely, and 70 gay,
While the King OF Day, from the Eastern sky,
Threw his robes Of night away.
And In his ear Of molten gold,
With cloud.steeds snowy white,
On perfumed breSth-the morning air.
Rode up the empyreau height,
In regal robes and royal state,
Passing our maple tree,
Where the blue.birds and the robins
Sang their morning melody.
No flats, no Snaps, not one false note,
None hired 10 cry "encOre:"
The daily programme warbled through,
All this and H0thing more,
Comprising SprlnR.time songs Of Joy,
At e9rly break Of day,
From the blue.hIrds aud the robins,
In genuine matinee.
With earnest listeners only
With only those who hear
The song or the birds In Spring.Iins,
With eager listening car:
The sky for an auditorium,
The budding trees for bowers,
For guest the Sun Of the morning;
Such are very precious hours.
But, ah, the concert closes
Too soon, by far, each day,
And we look, and wait, and listen,
As the blrd.notes die away
In the dim and Valuted distance
or the blue, ethereal sky,
Leaving rainbow tints OF beauty,
At our feet, as the void goes ny,

hall of the house oil representatives, Mr..
Wood, Of New York, in the chair. There
was a full attendance. Senator Baysrd,
Chairman of the Committee on Address

the pending legislation. A general dis,
cussion on the Senate amendments To the
Ku.Klux bill took place, Senators Thur
man and Stockton, and Representatives
Niblack, Kerr, Young, and others, parti-
cipatiDg in It. These gentlemen con-
DENIED the bill as being made very much
worse by the amendments, and therefore
requiring q moro earnest opposition to
the measure on their part. An adjourned
meeting of the caucus will take place on
Monday night to receive and adopt the
address.
