A story of an Actor.

Mackay, the actor, was once gun
maker in Hartford. One day while
working at tae bench vigorously showing
twelve-inch, bastard file, with no one
present but a single fellow-workman, he
suddenly dropped his file, sprang back a
few feet, struck the attitude that Mac
beth is supposed to have assumed in the
da gger scene, and repeated the blood
curlling words in the text, in voice
hollow solumn, and impressive, with
features whereon were painted all the
agony of a tortured mind, and accom-
panied with gestures so strikingly true
to nature that his fellow-workman was
astonished.
He was more than that. He was thor
oughly frightened. He had never been
to a theater in his life, and consequently
was but little prepared for this sudden
clap of theatrical thunder. He suppos-
ed that his companion had been stricken
with insanity, and to his mind it was
not pleasant thought to be cooped up
in room with crazy man. But how
should he escape2 That was the ques-
ton. The object of his dread was be-
tween MIN huu Lue uOOij anu nc uoAO NV
pass him.
They were on the second floor, and es-
cape by way of the window was too dan
gerous to attempt. All this had passed
through his mind so quickly that the
young tragedian had only got to the
words, Come, let me clutch thee, when
the frightened mechanic hastily retreat
ed to far corner Of the room, where
there was a stack of gun-barrels, and
clutching one, placed himself in adefen-
siye posture, with look so determined
and yet so horror-stricken it seemed to
say, fIf you do clutch me or attempt
to do so, / will knock your brains out
with this gun-barrel.'
He kept his eyes fastened on the
speaker and breathlessly watched every
motion, and maintained the same striking
attitude until the close. Mackay had
been so wrapped up in the recitation that
he had not taken in the scene here de-
scribed, but as he concluded he embraced
the situation of affairs at glance, and
said why, Jack, what's the matter
with you2"
1.-THE matter with me; nothing" ex-
claimed Jack, Indignantly; but | would
like to know what in thunder is the mat
ter with you.
A mutual explanation took place and
a hearty laugh followed.

If youth is wooingly disposed toward
any damsel, as he values his happiness,
let him call on that lady when she least
expects him, and take note of the ap-
pearanee of alfthat is under her control.
Observe if the shoes ft neatly, and the
hair we'll dressed. And we would for
give a man for breaking of an engage
ment if he discovered a greasy novel
hid away under the cushion of a sofa, or
a hole in the garniture Of the prettiest
foot in the world. Sloveuliness in women
will ever be avoided by well regulated
mind. A woman cannot always be
what is called dressed" but she may
be always neat. And as certainly as
virtuous woman is a crown of glory to
her husband, so surely is sloyenly wo-
a crown Of thorns.

EVER.
BY GYPSY WILDE.


Ever and ever the world goes round,
Bearing its burdens and crosses;
Ever and ever the years roll on,
With their tide of sorrows and losses;
Ever and ever the book Of life
Bears upon its pages
The weary, weary lay Of the heart
Sung through all the ages.
Ever and ever with outstretched hands
We grasp for golden morrow;
Ever and ever the billows of time
Are freighted with bitter sorrow.
Ever and ever the lips smile on,
That the world may walk in blindness
Little they know of the hearts wild woe,
When the face looks but with kindness
Ever and ever the shadows fall
Over the golden mossesi
Ever CLEAN from Paradise
Lightens our cares and crosses.
Ever and ever the morning dawns
On hopes that are breathed in gladness
Ever and ever the night brings in
Its tide Of bitter sadness.
Ever and ever the eye Of God
Lookath upon us with pity;
And ever the light is shown to us,
That CLEANS from the Golden City.

Uot a hard DrinRer in Congress.

q
Senator Wilson gave a temperance
lecture at Boston, the other day, which
is worthy of note. he, among other
things, said that during the last seFen-
teen years he had found that the mem
bers who used alcohol were invariably
the first to be prostrated by protracted
work. "In my experience he said,
while chairman of the committee on
military affairs, always found that the
men to be relied on we're the men who
drank not at all. Mr.. Wilson thought
that there were fewer drinking men now
in congress than when he frst went to
it. " Formerly, the night sessions EeEe
dreaded on account Of the debauchery
to which they gave rise. Now, about
one-qHarter of the senator's are pledged
temperance men, and there is not what
may be called a hard drinker in the
senate at all. The facts are about tbs
same in the house Of representatives.
Once the departments were full of
drunken men; now, they are the excep-
TONS Coming from q source 10 be re-
lied upon, these are interesting and
