rwO BLUSH ROSES.

A blush rose lay in the summer
There were golden lights in the sky,
And a woman saw the blossom,
AS she stOod with her lover nigh.

Played creamy Italian air,
Like memory changed to mesic,
And it driltsd everywhere.

That air, and its delicate walls
Were only the wandering echoes
OF the songs Of nigbtingales.

"I love you," she answered IS lew;
And the music grew sweeter and sweeter,
Because It had listened, / know.
But she look'd ut the rose In the summer,
And said, with tremulous tear,
''The love that now beats in my bosom
win bloom in blush rose next year"
A blush rose lay in the summer,
There were golden lights in the sky,
And a woman saw the blossom
As she stood with her lover nigh.
The band In the Towering distance
Played the dreamy italian air,
Like memory changed to music,
And it drifted everywhere.
81 love you,s he tenderiy whispered;
81 love you," she timidly said;
And the music grew sadder and sadder,
And the blush rose before them dropp',
dead.
Then he knew that the music remembers
And he knew the love that had beat
Last year in her beautiful bosom
Lay dead in the rose at his feet.

not long since a physician tried an
experiment to satisfy himself as to
the extent OF the danger incurred
on account of ignorance In this re-
gard. Calling at a certain drug
store he presented the following
prescription: 'EHydrag clor. mitis.,
grs. x; soda bycarb., grs. K; ammo
MIA murias., grs. X" Saying he
would call for the mixture in a few
minutes, he turned as If TO 60,
when the druggist, in an excited
tone, called him back. Doctor"
said the latter, 81 can't make up
these ingredients for anybody TO
take; you must have made a mis-
take" GLOW sO2'' said the doctor.
'Why don't you see that here are
all the equivalents to constitute cor
rosive sublimateI" cor course 1
do" was the answer; "but l have
submitted the same prescription at
a dozen different places, and you
are the first one who has objected
to putting IL up, or indicated any
suspicion Of its deadly nature"

Ansssw JACKSON.

What host of associations the
name of Andrew jackson calls up!
Anything in reference to his won
derful career is always of interest
to his countrymen, aud heard or
read with an avidity that is never
Wearied. 1t is known that Grant
employs military secretaries. This
has been objected to, on the ground
that an officer of the army cannot
hold an Office purely civil. The
Radicals justify the practice, and
refer for precedent to what they al
| ledge as fact, that General Jack
son employed Major Donelson to
act as his private secretary. The
Pittsburg Post in reference to this
subject, says that during the time
that DOnelsOn was attached to the
Presidential household he held no
! military commission whatever. He
was not, however, the private sec
retary Of the President during his
whole term of Office, and we are not
sure that he was, properly speak
ing, even during q portion of the
time. The gentleman who held the
position of confidential friend, adj
wiser and private secretary of Pres
ident Jackson during the greater
portion of his term of office, was
the late Judge Hayward, of Ohio,
who died at an advanced age at
McCOnnellsville in that State, a few
years ago. In regard to General
! Jackson's habits, our contemporary
| furnishes this interesting informa-
ton: "From a personal acquaint-
ance with the latter gentleman, the
writer is authoritatively enabled to
! correct an error that is very gener-
| ally accepted as an historical fact;
namely, that President jackson was
in the habit of swearing, and that
by the Eternal was q favOrite
oath with him. The use of this ex-
pletive, in connection with the
South Carolina notification, is set
down as a factin history. Nothing
could be further from the truth
Judge Hayward has repeatedly as
sured US that during his long and
| intimate acquaintance with General
Jackson he neVez knew him to in-
dulge in an OATH, and but rarely to
exhibit temper. Judge Hayward
himself wrote the celebrated Multi
| fication Proclamation at Jackson's
suggestion, and we believe that his
family still have the original draft
with the Presidents erasures and
interlineations. 1t was read to the
General in his private study, before
being submitted to the Cabinet, and
its entire scope and bearing was
calmly discussed, and none of that
fry excitement exhibited which has
generally been ascribed to him,
'and,' in the language of Judge
Hayward, nothing could be more
absurd than the statement that he
lost his reason over so grave a sub
ject, and permitted his lips, that
were free from such defilements, to
be sullied by an oath. He was calm
est when the exigencies that sur
/ rounded him were the greatest. ~

THE LIrrLE PEOPLE.

A dreary place would be this earth,
We're there no little people in it;
The song Of life would lose its mirth,
Were there no children to begin IL
Nc little forms, ike buds to grow,
And make the admiring heart surrender;
No httlehands on breast and brow,
To keep the thrilling love-ehords tender
The sterner souls would grow more stern,
Unieeling nature more inhuman,
And man to stole eoldness turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
Lies song, indeed, would lose rs charm,
We're there no babies 70 begin it;
A dreadful place this world would be,
Were there no little people in it.

How a hoy wakes Up.

There he lies in his crib, a nut
brown stub of four wears. He sleeps
the sleep of healthy childhood. In
the same position he lay when he
dropped into unconciousness one arm
under his head, one leg kicked out
from under the coverlet. He is per-
fectly motiOnless. His round cheek
pillows itself on the extended arm,
and his leg seems to have been ar
rested in the middle of the last rest
less kick, as the curtain fell over
his blue eyes, and he was asleep.
He is in a deep sleep. You can
scarcely preceive the regular respi-
ration. a train of cars thunders by
without notice-he might be car
Fied across the streets without a.
wakening.
a healthy boy, sound asleep, is an
interesting object. Particularly if
he is your boy. For the time, his
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS are at rest. His
noisy clatter, his ceaseless motion,
his endless questions, his boisterous
play, his boundless wants, his foun-
tains of laughter and tears are all
quiet now. One can take a good look
at him.
1t is morning. Daylight streams
into the windows, the sun shines on
the hill tops. The sounds of stirring
life are beginning to be heard about
the house.
Watch the boy. Still as motionless
as a figure of marble. AS you look,
the gates of sleep are suddenly un-
locked. He is awake in a twink
ling-awake all over. His blue eyes
are wide open and bright-his lips
part with a shout-his legs fly out
in different directions his arms are
in rapid mOtiOn-he fiops over with
a spring-in ten seconds he has turn
ed a couple of summersaults, and
presents before you living illustra-
ton of perpetual motion. There is
no deliberate yawning, no slow
stretching of lndolent limbs, no lazy
rubbing of sleepy eyes, no turning
over for just another snooze, no
gradually becoming awake about it.
With a snap ike pistol shot, he is
l thoroughly alive and kicking-wide
awake to the tip end of each hair.
! The wonderful thing about it is its
suddenness aud completeness.

AN ARABIAN HoRSE.-Ihree
days since arrived from Egypt, con-
signed to this Office an Arabian
horse, the property of Col. Walter
Jenifer, of the Khedive's army.
| Mr.. Marsh, the efficient Superinten-
dent of the Adams Express stables
has, with the public spirit which
characterizes the great corporation
to which he belongs, kindly taken
| charge of him until he can be for
| warded to Mr.. Daniel Jenifer in
Maryland. This horseis full fifteen
hands high, with full, lustrous, in
telligent eye, and a coat like white
/ satin; his hooffs are small and we'll
| shaped, and his legs are as clean
and nervous as those of a stag; in a
word, he fills the ideal of the Steed
of the desert.
An hour after landing from his
tedious voyage of six thousand
miles, he was as active and playful
as a kitten, and as affectionate and
as gentle as spaniel. As the beau
tiful creature goes into the stud on
his arrival in Maryland, it may be
well to put on record what is known
of his history. Nearly two years
ago, Col. Walter Jenifer; Inspector
/ General of the Egyptian cavalry,
went with Col. Skinner, our Field
and Farm Editor, to inspect two
regiments of cavalry stationed at
Zag-a-Zig, in Lower Egypt. Con-
spicu Gus among some two thousand
horses paraded was this white STALL
ion, just arrived, and called Ismael.
He belonged to an officer who got
him a colt from one of the wild Be-
douins. After tedious negotiations,
Col. Jenifer made him his own at a
long figure.-IUTf Field & Farm.

Greeley and the Democratic Party

Gov. Randolph, in a speech before
the New Jersey Democratic Con-
vention, made this point:
81 know that we shall be charged
with placing our lifelong opponent
al the head of our column in the dav
of an almost assured victory. All
this is true, but il is equally true
that Mr.. Greeley viii only take the
leadership OF the party that elect
him, after he has pronounced him
self fully in favor of such old-fash-
ioned Democratic principles, as hos
tility to Capitalization, opposition
to Federal interference in State and
local affairs, condemnation of the
suspension of the writ of habeds
corpus, full support of amnesty, rig
id adherence to civil reform, oppo-
sitiOn to bayonet election laws, and
the like. Now, if Greeley can ac-
| commodate himself to such uncom-
promising Democratic views as
these, we can accept the conversion;
and if it be a tTifle sudden and un-
expected, so was st. Paul's, YOU
know, yet, no one questioned the
sincerity of st. Paul's conversion,
nor had occasion to doubt 1t ever
! after -

hardly ever so small as a dollar. But

During the late war there was a
certain quartermaster who, at a GER
tain recruiting station, had charge
ofthe mastering of drafted men and
substitutes. Among the ceremo-
nies ofmustering-in, he incOrpora-
ted the following question, which
was addressed to each and every re-
cruit: "Got a watch, hay?" If the
man replied that he had, the quar-
termaster would exclaim: ''Nat
you want Win q watch, hey? The
Wrist time you goes out TO fight and
gifts Kilt, we're viii your Yateh be
then, hey? Sergeant, take this mans
watch and gif him credit for thirty
dollars agin his name" III the re-
cruit happened to answer that be
had no watch, our quartermaster
would exclaim: Vatl no Vatchl How
you can ever go to de front mitout
no watch, hay? They puts you on
guard for two hours, and they keep
you dere for four hours, and they
take you off for four hours, and
sends you back in two hours How
will you know about il ifyou haf no
watch, hay? Here. sergeant, gif dis
man a watch, and charge him sixty
dollars agin his name" And so the
wa tchless man would be presented
with q timepeice taken from re-
cruit who had been mustered-in be-
fore, and on pay day the little diff

'agin their names compensated the

Robert was indicted for murder. All the
circumstances were against him. The jury
believed that William had been murdered

Can Women Keep a Secret {!

The Nineteenth Century solves this query
as follows:
Men say women can't keep secret. 1t
is just the reversc-women can, men can't.
Women carry with them to their graves Sc
crets that would kill any man. Woman
never tells, man always does. Woman stuff
ers and dies, man ba5s and lives. Man
cannot keep secret, woman cannot make
it known. What is sport to the man is
sure to be death to the woman. Adam was
sneak. Eve would have kept the apple
secret. Be We fruitful. Who ever heard
woman talk about her love tiascos? Ev-
erybody has heard man gossip. Man de-
lights in telling of his illicit conquests, wo-
man would cut her tongue out first. Men
are coarse in their club-room talk, women
refined in their parlor conversation. Who
ever heard woman talk of her low
ersG Who has not listened to the dissi-
patton of the men? Men boast, women
don't. Women never tell tales out ofschool,
men are always blabbing. So down with
another old adage. Woman can keep Sc
cret, and her ability to do so is proved by
the conduct of st. Johns Newfoundland
girl, who did not tell her lover she was
worth four millions in her own right until
after the marriage.
