The Old Garret.

IT had garret, very nearly such one
as it seems to me one of us has described
in one of his books but let us look at
this one as / can reproduce it from mem
ory. 1t has q flooring of laths with ridges
of mortar squeezed up between them,
which, if you tread on, you will go to
the Lord have mercy on you! where VIII
you 90 to?-the same being crossed by
narrow bridges of boards, on which you
may put your feet, but with fear and trem-
bling. Above you and around you are
beams and ioists, on some OF which you
may see. when the light is let in, the
marks of the conchoidal clippings OF the
broadaxe, showing the rude way in which
the timber was shaped as it came, full OF
sap, from the neighboring forest. 1t is
realm of darkness and thick dust, and
shroud-like cobwebs, and dead things
they wrap in their gray folds. For gar
ret is like a sea-shore, where wrecks are
thrown up and slowly go to pieces. There
is the cradle which the old man you just
remember was rocked in; there is the ruin
of the bedstead he died on; that ugly
slanting contrivance used to be put under
his pillow in the days when his breath
came hard; there is his old chair, with
both arms gone, symbol of desolate time
when he had nothing earthly left to lean
on; there is the large wooden reel which
the blear-eyed old deacon sent the minis
ter's lady, who thanked him graciously,
and twirled it smilingly, and in hitting
season bowed it out decently to the limbo
of troublesome conveniences. And there
are old leather portmanteaus, like stranded
porpoises, their mouths gaping in gaunt
hunger for the food with which they used
to be gorged to bullying repletion and
old brass andirons, waiting till time shall
revenge them on their paltry substitutes,
and they shall have their own again, and
bring with them the fore-stick and the
backlog of ancient days; and the empty
churn, with its Idle dasher, which the
Nancys and Phpbes who have left their
comfortable places to the Bridgets and
Norahs, used to handle to good! purpose,
and the brown, shaky old spinning-wheel,
which was running, it may be, in the days
they were hanging the Salem witches

A Speech by "Mark Twain"

THE proprietors of the Aldine recently
gave reception at the st. James Hotel,
New York, at which were present a
large number of distinguished journal
lists, Vice. President ColfaX presided,
Mark Twain spoke substantially as fol
lows:
Gentlemen, / would rather address a
stag dinner party than any other assem-
blage in the world laughter for the
reason that when you make a point, those
who have been listening always applaud,
and those who have been talking to each
other and did not hear it, applaud louder
than anybody se-[laughterl l-and if
only had speech prepared for this occa-
sion, would take genuine delight in de-
livering it, Laughter. But l got the
notification to be present at this dinner
this evening, at half past eleven O'Clock
this morning, or pay what l owed to the
AIdine establishment-[ laughter and ]
had to leave half an hour after that III or
der to make this trip, so had no oppor-
tunity of preparing speech, and am
not one of those geniuses who can make
speech tmp0mptu. have made a
great many happy impOmptu speeches,
but / had time to prepare them.
Laughter. Now, it is singular,
and l suppose that, but for q
circumstance which happened when was
fourteen years of age, might have rushed
blindly, into real impromptu speeches, and
injured myself good deal. Laughter.
This circumstance, which happened when
was fourteen years of age, has always
protected me against anything of that
kind, and it has led me to think a good
deal-now, don't think a good deal
generally [laughterl-of what may
probably be the moving springs Of
human action. / put that in
merely because it is good expression
[Laughter.] Now the thing that made
the deepest impression on my mind, and
has lasted until this moment, was mat
ter in itself essentially trivial. 1t occurred
when was boy, and it has protected
me up to this time against making q
speech when | hadn't a speech prepared
1t was a remark made by friend. He

Now, at first glance that don't appear tC
convey an idea, but It does, and the mea
of it is this; don't do anything hurriedly
don't do thing unless you are prepared
to do it; therefore, until this moment,
never have made speech unless haC

But three of Bob's men put themselves
coolly in his way. mo use,. old 'un,"
said one of them, with provoking
grin.
"Do as you're bid
"And you'll niuey be chid'-
piped another, with the flourish of huge
stick
Perhaps It was the threat, or insult,
conveyed in this movement, which reused
old Gregory's blood but certain 1t is
that the next moment he had dashed his
opposers vigorously aside, and might
have gained the door and passage-way be-
yond, If the entire party in Bully Bob's
interest had not come up and attacked
him.
They were six men in all with whom
the Gregorys fought at first, with no wea-
pom but Natures; but at length, . pistol
having been discharged at the old mans
head, he drew his long, keen knife, cut
down two of his assailants seized Bully
Bob, who had Just Joined the melee, by the
"scruff" of the neck, and, through q
storm of bullets, rushed from the back en-
! trance round into the street, dragging the
amazed and discounted bully along with
him. Jenny staggered after his father,
wounded and bleeding.
Hurt, Jem ?" asked the elder, briefly
"Done for ~ answered Jem with equal
conciseness, and sinking slowly to the
ground.
| Then the spectators, attracted by the
previous firing, witnessed terrible scene.
The old man looked upon his son, and
saw that he was dying He looked next
at the wretch upon whom his grasp, firm
as iron, still rested regarded him for one
heeting moment with an indescribable ex-
preston, which appeared to paralyze the
rufilan, then with jerk, he pulled the
heavy body up, killed the wretch, with a
single halfsmothered cry of satisfied
rage, which none ever forgot who heard
il.
In a few minutes more, Jenny, too,
was dead.
That night, untouched by the hand of
the law, old Gregory, with the body of
his son in charge, returned to his back
woods home He was never again seen
or heard of by any of the Aiken people,

LOVE UNEXPRESSED.



BY CONSTANCE +. wooIsoN.
THE sweetest notes among the human heartstring'
Arc duh with rust;
The sweetest chords. adjusted by the angels,
Are clogged with dust;
We pipe and pipe again our dreary music
-. Upon the self same strains,
While sounds OF crime, and fear, and desolation,
Come back I'm sad refrans.
On through the world we go, an army marching
With listelng ears
Each longing, signing, for the heavenly music
lie never hears;
Each longing, signing, for word Of comfort,
A word OF tender praise,
A word oflove, to cheer the endless journey
Ofearth's hard, busy days.
They love us. and We know IT; this sufiices
For reasons share.
Why should they pause to give that love expires
sion
With gentle care?
Why should they pauseI But still our hearts are
with all the gnawing pain
OF hungry love that longs to hear the music,
And longs and longs in vain.
We love them, and they know IL; five falter
With fingers numb,
Among the unused strings of loves expression,
The notes are dumb.
We shrink within ourselves in vOicecss sorrow,
Leaving the words unsaid;
And, side by side with those we love the dearest,
N In silence on we tread.
Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in silence
Its fate fulhlls,
Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music
Beyond the distant hills;
The only difference of the love in heaven
From love on earth below
Is: Here we love and know not how to tell il,
And there we all shall know.

Washington Irving says bashfulncss >

Washington Irving says bashfulness :"
was the cause.
There is such thing as the diflidence
of love. His poetry is a key to unlock
and explain the whole business. He CON
cealed his passions; he never revealed it
to the "Lowland Beauty" She did not
know the ardent love he felt for her. 1t
was secret he locked up in his own
bosom, and sighed over it when it was
too late 1t was bashfulncss. This is
the rock on which his first love wrecked
"He was very bashful young man."
said an old lady whom Washington used
to visit when he was young, 81 used often
to wish he would talk more"
For long time there was mystery
concerning Washington's "Lowland Beau
ty." Tradition pointed to one and then
another; but the mystery is finally solved,
the curtain is drawn aside, and we are in
troduced to the veritable lady herself.
She was Miss Grimes, of Westmoreland
County, Va She was married to gen
tleman by the name of Lee, and in 1856
became the mother of Henry Lee. He
was one of the heroes of the revolution,
and his name adorns the annals of his
country He was Familiarity known as
"Liglt ITUTse Hurry He was not only
distinguished as General, but as a
statesman; being a member of Congress,
Governor of Virginia, etc.
Washington held him in high estima-
tion; not only on account of his splendid
military talents, but because he was the
son of his first love.
There was anair of dignity about Wash
ington, so that he could not be approached
with undue familiarity. Governor Morris
once tried it, but he met with such a stern
rebuke he never had disposition to try
it again.
But on such intimate terms were Lee
and Washington that the former could
approach him with the utmost freedom,
as the following shows. When the revo-
lutionary war was over, General Lee was
often welcome guest at Mount Vernon.
One day they were seated at the dinner
table, and Washington said he was in want
of carriagehorses, and he asked General
Lee if he knew where he could get a
par.
Il have pair" replied Mr.. Lee, "but,
General, you cannot have Them
Why not ?"
