a Philosophical Darkey.

An elderly darkey, with q very
philosophical and retrospective cast
of cOuntenauce, was sqUattiDg upon
| his bundle on the hurricane deck OF
one of the Western river steamers,
tOasting his shins against the chin
ney, and apparently plunged in a
state of profound meditation. His
dress and appearance indicated IA
miliarity with camp life, and II being
soon after a siege and capture OF
Fort DOnelson, was inclined to dis
turd his reveries, and on interrOga-
tion found that he had been with the
Union forces at that place, when |
questioned him further. His phil
osophy was 80 much in the Falstaf-
fan vein that l will give his views
in his own words as near as my
memory will serve me.

THE RAIN CONCERT.

Millions OF tiny raindrops
Are falling all around,
They're dancing on the housetops,
They are hiding in The ground.
They are faiTy-like musicians
With anything for keys,
Beating time upon the Window,
Keeping time upon the trees.
\ light and airy treble
They play upon the stream,
And the melody cnchants Us.
Like the music Of q dream.
The deeper bass is sounding
When they're dropping into caves.
With a tenor from the zePhyrs,
And an alto from the waves.
Oh, 'us 4 shower of music,
And Robin don't intrude,
If when the rain is weary
He drops az interlude.
Il seems a. II the wsrbling
Ot the birds in all the bowers,
Had been gathered into rain dreps,
And was coming down in showers.
The blossoms all arc bathing
In the liquid melodies,
Breathing thanks in sweetest OdOrS,
Looking up into the skies.

THE FATE OF BEAUTY.

\ rose IN beauty, glowing,
Beside 4 clear stream flowing
In rapid tide,
In the clear waves reflection
Admired her own perfection.
Andloyed and sighed.
The wIlding breeze, upspringiny
Despoiled the leaflets, flinsing
Them down the wave,
To seek, all crushed and vapid,
Young Beauty's fate so rapid,
An early grave.

THE Frankford Yeoman tells this:
"Once upon time a young Ken
| lucky physician who had been
regularlarly educated for his pro-
fession, was called to the bedside of
| a patient that he had been attending
with his best care for some time,
but who obstinately grew worse
and worse, until now his end seem
ed very near. Doctor" said the
sick man 81 am dying-I am certain
/ am dying, and believe you have
killed me-" The doctor seemed to
think very earnestly for a moment
or two, and then quite gravely and
seriously replied: eyes, I see that
you are dying, and, on reflection,
believe that you are right believe
that | have killed you; but,
here take my oath that, If God will
forgive me for having unintentional-
ly murdered you, l viii never mur-
der another-I will never give an
other dose of physic professionally
as long as live. And he kept his
oath; he at once quit medicine en-
tirely-turned his attention to the
study of laW-obtained license is due
course, and, after a few years. sue
cessful practice, became one of the
most eminent circuit judges of that
day in Kentuckv-nOW, nearly for
ty years ago"

saving Money.

The possession of a few dollars
often makes all the difference be-
tween happiness and misery, and
no man, especially with a family
dependent upon him, can be truly
independent unless he has few
dollars reserved for the time OF
need. While extreme carefulness
as to the expenditure Of money viii
make a rich man poor, a wise econ
Omy will almost as certainly make a
poor man rich, or Al least, make
him, to a considerable extent, indie
pendent OF the caprices of employers
and of the common vicissitudes OF
life. Nothing is more important to
the poor man than the habit of saw
ing something; but his little hoard
viii soon begin TO grow at a rate
which viii surprise and crafty him.
Every working man ought to have
an account IL some savings bank,
and should add to il every week
during which he has full employ
ment, even If the addition is but a
dollar at time. If he does this, he
will soon find the dollar growing
into tens, and these tens into hum
.dFeds, and in little time will be in
possession a sum which is constant
ly yielding an addition to his in
come, which secures him a reserve
fund whenever one is needed. and
which will enable him to do many
things, which, without a little mo-
ney, he would be pOwerless to do
piftSbuyg Post.

Kissing.

Horace Glyndon says in the New
York Mail:
have already alluded to the fact
that there is but one thing which
you may be morally certain that an
American woman will do when she
sits down to table, in any cline, at
any hour and under any circum-
stances, and that is, If she be free
agent, she will order a cup of tea.
But before going any further wish
TO qualify this sweeping assertion.
She is almost equally as likely to kiss
baby on first sight. Now, kissing
a baby means, with most women,
almost devouring il bodily.
Strangely enough, such kisses
as men only give to women,
women always reserve for babies.
No lover and no husband in theWorld
can throw one OF them in so fine q
frenzy as the sight of a small, roly
poly mass of pink and white flesh,
done up in embroidered flannel,
tucked nainsook and pink ribbons.
But the charm gradually wears away
after the child is a year old, and I
am notable to certify whether its
first freshness lasts over that time IN
the mans case.

The children are the leaves.

MICHIGAN.
a Leading Republican Declares
Against the Grant DYnaSIy--An
AstOnisher coming from sumner.

DETROIT, June 23.-The Grand
Rapids Daily Times, a liberal Re-
publican paper, publishes the follow
ing article in its Sunday mornings
issue: "We have important intelli-
genCe from the old war Governor of
Michigan, Hon. Austin Blair. 1t
Is, that he will not in any event sup
port Grant, and that if Greeley is
indorsed at Baltimore he will take
the stump for Greeley. The Gov
ernor does not conceal his senti-
ments. He says the stampede from
Grant to Greeley viii not be by one
or two, but by platoons. He thinks
Michigan will go for Greeley if a
cordial union is effected between
the opponents of Grant. We also
have direct and reliable information
from Senator Sumner, and import
ant facts respecting his position.
He is now preparing Q speech upon
the finances of the country, and the
financial administration of President
Grant. 1t will astonish the Ameri-
can people when delivered. Should
Greeley be nominated at Baltimore,
Senator Sumner is prepared to speak
to his countrymen in favor of the
election of Greeley to the Presiden-
cy."

Is He Rich!

Many a sigh is neaYed, many a
heart is broken, many life is rem
dered miserable, by the terrible in
fatuation which persons often mani
fest in chosing q life companion for
their daughters. How is it possible
for happiness to result from the un-
ion OF two principles so diametri-
cally opposed to each other in every
point, as virtue is to vice! And yet,
how often is wealth considered bet
ter recommendation for young men
than virtuel How often is the first
question which is asked respecting
the suitor of a daughter, this: ''Is
he rich?'' But does that afford any
evidence that he will make a kind
and affectionate husband! els he
rich?" Yes, his clothing is purple
and fine linen, and he fares sumptu-
ously every day, but can you infer
from this that he is virtuOus? "Is he
rich?'' Yes, he has thousands float
ing on every ocean, but do not riches
sometimes take to themselves wings
aud fly away? And will you consent
that your daughter shall marry q
man who has nothing to recommend
him but his wealth! All, beware
The gilded bait covers q bearded
hook. Ask not, then, SIS he rich?"
but els he virtuous?" Ask not then
if he has wealth, but has he honor?
and not sacrifice your daughters
peace for money.
