"But to the subject, you will perceive
that the tops of these stockings (by
which suppose courtship to be rep
resented) are scanned, and by means of
scanning are drawn into a snarl, but
afterwards comes a time when the
whole is made plain, and continues to
the end and toeing off. By this wish
to take occasion to congratulate your
self, that you are now through with
scanning and have come to plain reali-
ty. Again as the whole of the come
ly stocking was not made at once, but
by the addition of one little stitch af-
ter another, put in with skill and dis
cretlon, nntil the whole presents the
fair and equal piece of work which
you see SO life does not consist of one
great action, but millions of little ones
combined; and so may it be with
your lives. No stitch dropped when
duties are to be performed-no wide
ming made when bad principles are to
be reproYed or economy is to be pre-
served neither scanning nor 7ea7rosc-
Sng where truth and generosity are in
question. Thus every stitch in life
made right and set in the right place,
none either too large or too small, too
tight or too loose thus may you keep
on your smooth and even course, maxi
ing existence one fair and consistent
piece-until together, having passed
the heel, you come to the very toe of
life, and here in the final narrowing
off, and dropping the coil of this em-
blematic pair of companions and COM
forting associates, nothing appears but
white, the token of innocence and
peace, of purity and light-may you,
like these stockings, the final stitch
being dropped, and the work compile
ted, go together from the place where
you were found, to a happier state of
existence, present from earth to
heaven. Hoping these stockings and
admonltions may meet cordial re-
ception, remain, in true blue friend
ship, seemingly, yet without scanning,
yours from top to toe" E. p. b.

ED1ToR OF THE PRESS.

Some time since we read letter on
twenty years ago, by lady of literary
distinction, to her cousin who has
since graced honorable official posi-
tions in the Empire State. 1t was
written on the eve of his marriage and
accompanied by pair of blue mixed
stockings, knit by herself, las a present.
The impression made upon our mind,
by the good sense of the writer, after
several careful readings, induces us to
attempt its reproduction from recol-
lection, for the benefit of your young
readers. Only adding, it viii. endure
reading slowly. carefully, and more
than once:
"DEAR Cousin:
Herewith you will receive present
of apair of wooden socks, knit by my
own hands; and, be assured, dear
cousin, that my friendship for you is
as warm as the material, active as the
finger work, and generous as the do
nation. But consider the present as
peculiarly appropriate on the occasion
of your marriage. You will remrrk,
in the FIRST place, that when two indi-
viduals are united in one pair, who
are to walk side by side, guarding
against coldness, and giving comfort
as long as they last, the thread of their
texture is mixed, and so, alas, is the
thread of life. In. these however,
the white is the color of your existence.
No black is used, for 1 believe your
lives will be wholly free from the
black passions of wrath and Jealousy.
The darkest color here is blue, which
is excellent, when we do not make it
too blue. Other appropriate thoughts
rise to my mind, in regard to these
stockings, the most Indifferent subjects
whom viewed by the mind in suitable
frame, may furnish instructive influ-
ences, as saith the poet:
~ "The iron dogs. the fuel and the tongs.

exclamations seemed to come from
fifty different members, announcing
the change of their votes. The Pres
ident took no notice of them-would
not look that way, although at times
he seemed inclined to yield. but he

of members to change their votes,

of Ohio and member of this Legisla-
ture, against this most damnable
outrage and usurpation on the peO-
pie, and | denOunce it as in keeping

with carpet-baggers and scalawags. "

Lieutenant Governor Mueller lev
identity forgetting he was on the
point of declaring the vote electrl-
fed the Convention with this bit of
elOquence, peering over his glasses
at the crowd and looking like a
frightened owl in wrong place, Il

[ means a Senator from Ohio in der
Congress-
Here Senator Hart declared. in de-
fence Of the President of the Conven
ton that there were no demands
made for changes of votes when the
President commenced to announce
the result.
This We know to be absolutely
false. The writer occupied a seat at
the reporters table, but few feet
from where Mr. Hart sat, and saw
not less than half dozen members
clamOrOus to change, and the Presi-
dent, even after his sO-called decis-
ion, actually recognized one of them
as having the floor, and afterward re-
fused to allow him to change his vote.
After this interlude, on the an
nOuncement of the vote, mind you, |
the Lieutenant-G Governor took fresh |
start in promulgating his decision,
and in about this way:
Mr Mueller-John Sherman
cries of Protest, change my vote, |
having received seventythree votes
for here the clamor was greater
than at any other time; members
their chairs, and the disor
der extended to the lobby and gal
leries; Mueller was very excited, and
resuming, continued seventv-three
votes for President in Congress roars |
of laughter i mean for Senator in
Congress-which, being a majority
over all dem others, 1 declare John
Sherman duly elected Senator in
Congress from Ohio.
This conclusion was received with
some little applause by Sherman's
and the two houses then
and the Senate proceeded
to its chamber.
This is the way John Sherman
was elected. We do not exaggerate
the scene. Some parts could hardly
be exaggerated.
