Dream Children.

" An Old Bachelor " i'll Harpcr'S Bazar
under the above head, tells of the expert
ence of an acquaintance of his the follow
ing:
She was early and happily married; but
one after another of her children had died,
and all at the tenderest age. Some fate
seemed to be set fast against those inno-
cent young lives, and while still in the
nursery they died. So the young mother
was totally bereft. Still she felt herself to
be a mother; but her sweet family were
dream children only. Their nursery re-
mained unchanged. The toys, the little
tables and chairs, the torn picture books
they were left as the last of the lost dar-
lings had left them, and the last had died
thirty wears before / saw the mother,
She, meanwhile, had passed from the
young wife to the matron, and the brown
hail with which the baby fingers had
played was gray now, and covered with a
cap. There was no morbid or querulOus
complaint in her manner or in her life a:
no cynicism or false gayety. TO most per-
sons she would seem merely a grave and
tranquil lady who had had probably some
sorrow. But those dead children nodded
her whole character. A sad gentlenesS,
an endless self-sacrifice, a sweetness of
charity that shamed calumny and in
spired generous judgment, made her life,
as | had always heard, one of the nOblest
of influences. She bore with her and diff
fused an ineXpressible human tenderness.
And the source of it was that unchanged
nursery and the children who prattled and
played there long agO-the children who
are children only forever.

A White House Dinner.

Our readers may not all expect to be
guests at a State dinner at the White
House, but most of them will be interest
ed in knowing how they pass off. Har-
per's Bdzar says:
In this wise is 1t done by General Grant
at his dinners of State in the White
House The number invited is usually
about thirty. The names of those to be
invited are given to the invitation clerk,
and he fills up the engraved cards where
upon spaces for names and dates have
been left blank. The full number of guests
having accepted the clerk proceeds to page
them off and prepare the cards, which, in
closed in a small envelope, are given to
each gentleman in the cloak-room. These
cards have on one the name of the lady
the gentleman is to escort to the table, and
on the other a diagram of the table, with
the name of the gentleman and the lady
placed under his care opposite the num-
bers indicating their respective seats. Con-
fusion is thus avoided. The State dining
room is in the west wing of the White
House, and the table is set with due re-
gard to the points of the compass. The
President sits in the central seat mot in
the seat of the scornfuD with his back to
the north, and Mrs. Grant sits directly Op
posite The places of honor for ladies are on
the right and left of the President, and on
the right and left of Mrs. Grant for gentle
men. Some eighteen or twenty courses
have been known to be served at these
and at every plate are eight glass
es for different kinds of wine. .-t

Carrying Fire Arms.

While Judge Busted was holding court
at Huntsville, Alabama, last week, it came
to his knowledge that persons were COM
ing into the court room wearing fire arms,
when he made the following pointed Or
der:
Information has reached me that con-
siderable number of the persons attending
on this Court, come into its presence wear
ing fire arms or other deadly weapons.
My sources of information leave me no
room to doubt its correctness. TO bring
deadly weapons into a Court of Justice
during the sittings, is an Offense of the
highest character and deserving of extreme
punishment 1t is flagitOus and unpar-
donable contempt of the law, and an in
decent and monstrOus exhibition of the
fell spirit of turbulent crime. 1t must be
met and crushed. To do less than stamp
it as abOminable would be a reprOach to
civilization, Christianity and law. The
Marshal and his attendants are charged
with the duty of excluding from the court
room any person guilty of this wicked
practice, and they are authorized to make
courteous and civil examinations of the
person, and any one refusing to be SO ex-
amined, shall not be allowed admission to
the court room.

RRITTN AROUSED,

Encounter With n Bear on Unaka Noun.
tain.
The Jonesboro' Flag and AdUertiScr con-
tains an account of an encounter between
party of traders and bear, a few days
since. While crossing Unaka mountains,
between North Carolina and East Tennes-
see, the other day, they were overtaken BY
a tremendous snow storm, which so
blockaded their road as to prevent their
further progress until the snow melted
sufficiently to allow them to pass. In
some of the gorges through which their
road passed. the snow had drifted to the
depth of ten or twelve feet. The traders
making the best of their precariOus di-
lemma, took their rifles and proceeded to
look after game. 1t was not long until
they aroused huge bear-brOaching him
in his den. Bruin, it seems, had been
some time without food, and showed dis
position to take his visitors into a flowing
embrace" when an animated "row" be-
gan between them. One man shot at him,
but only slightly wounded him, whilst an
other with his faithful dog, attacked him
in the rear. The latter assault upon his
bearship proved annoying to him, and he
turned upon his foe with a hOrrid grOwl,
and went for him ferociously. Now
came hand to hand tug-the man plung
ing Bowie knife in him with all his
might and strength. Bruin advanced up
on his antagonist erect upon his hind
feet, with his sharp claws extended, open
mouth, and grinnfng teeth. They closed,
and tumbed over in the how-drift-when
the situation of the trader became critical
Just at this moment the second crack of
the rifle of his companion resOunded
through the mountain forest, and Bruin
rolled Over-dedd, his crimson life-bloOd
staining the white SNOW for yards around.
The attacking party were very fortunate
getting off with but a few scratches. The
bear weighed upwards of two hundred
pounds 1t is thought he had left his win
ter quarters too soon, thinking Spring had

Trial Of Mayor Hall.

So far the trial of Mayor Hail. of New
York, for completely with Tweed and 9TH
ers in the Tammany ring frauds has
proved tedious business-a mere conflict
of technicalities as to the admissibility of
certain forms of testimony. The defense
has occupied much time in an attempt to
rule out of evidence a certain warrant is
sued to Garvey, the plasterer, for over
S4l 900, to which the Mayors signature
was attached, but on yesterday the objec-
tions were Overruled and the warrant ad-
mitted as secondary evidence. The pros
ecttion then offered q book of audit, and
the defense objected, and so the fight will
doubtless continue to the end, if indeed it
is ever ended.-BaLtin1Ore San.

The Poet at breakfast table gives this
vivid description of the manner in which
a girl of the period makes ready to play
and plays her grand piano:
1t was young woman, with as many
white muslin flounces round her as the
planet Saturn has rings, that did it. She
gave the music-stOol a twirl or two and
fluffed down on to it like Whirl of soap
suds in d hand-basin. Then she pushed up
her cuffs as if she was going to fight for
the champions belt. Then she worked her
wrists and her hands, to Timber 'em,
suppose, and spread out her fingers till
they looked as though they would pretty
much cover the keyboard, from the growf-
ing end to the little squeaky one. Then
those two hands of hers made O lump at
the keys as If they were couple of tigers
coming down on flock of black and white
sheep, and the piano gave great howl as
if its tail had been trOd on. Dead stop-so
still you could hear your hair growing.
Then another jump, and another howl,
as if the piano had two tails and you had
trOd on both of 'em at once, and then a
grand clatter and scramble and string of
jumps, up AMI down, back and forward,
one hand over the other, like stampede
of rats and mice more than like anything
| call music.

THE WIND AND ROsE-AN ANCIENT
APOLOGIZE,
BY JOHN G. SAKE.


A little red Rose bloomed all alone
In the hedge by the highway side,
And the Wind came by with plying moan,
And thus to the howret cried
You are choked with dust from the sand,
Now see What friend can do!
viii pierce hole in the tangled hedge
And let the breeze come through"
Nay let me bel am we'll enough"
Said the Rose in deep dismay.
But the Wind is always rude and rough,
And of course he had his way.
And the breeze blew soft on the little red Rose
But now she was sore afraid,
For the naughty boys-her ancient foes
Came through where the gap was made.
" see" said the Wind, when he came again,
.. And looked at the trembling flower,
p" You are out of place; it is very plain
You were meant for a lady's bower"
" Nay let me bel" said the shuddering Rose.
No sorrow l ever had known
Till you came here to break my repose;
Now please to let me alone |"
But the will of the Wind is as strong as death,
And little he rocked her cries;
He plucked her up with his mighty BREATH
And away to the town he flies.
q, all too rough was the windy ride
For Rose so weak and small
And soon her leaves on every side
Begin to scatter and fall ....
"NOw, what is this?" said the wondering
Wind,
As the rose in fragments fell;
This paltry stem is all l find
am sure | meant it we'll"
" It means just this-that meddling friend, +"
Said the dying stalk, is sure
To mar the matter he aimed to mend,
And kill where he meant to cure"
