How TO KEEP CooL.-Stew around
as much as you can before breakfast.
Find fault with your wife. Upbraid
the help, and jaw the children.
Don't permit yourself to be suited
with the morning meal.
On reaching your place of business,
fume aronnd because some trifing
thing hasn't been attended to.
Make it as warm as you can for
your partner, and he will probably
reciprocate by making it warmer for
you.
Run out every half hour and get a
drink.
Along about the middle of the day
chase around after the delinquent
creditors the more cases the better
Swear little.
Growl about the heat.
Take another drink.
Work yourself into lather trying
to get full days work out of your
men.
Wipe your face vigorously with
your pocket-handkerchief every two
minutes.
Get into dispute on politics.
Write dunning letter.
Drink some more.
Go home to cold dinner and have
your wife make It hot for you.
Kick up quarrel with a neighbor.
Nope, growl, swear and drink, un-
til bedtime, and spend the night fight
ing mosquitoes to save the expense of
musquite- bar. ~ rEe
If by following the above rules you
are unable to keep cool, your case is
hopeless. 80 =

From the Washington start
William II. Powell, the artist, has
been working some more on his pic
fure of the battle of Lake Erie at the
Capitol, and has filled in about an acre
of unfinished canvas since the ad-
journment Of Congress. 1t was a
great picture then, but it is now very
much more so. Thirty or forty addi-
tional cannon have been brought to
bear upon the devoted skiff that bears
the gallant Perry to his new flagship.
These guns are pouring hot shot upon
the hero in the most concentrated
manner. Sixty or seventy new can
non balls have been painted upon the
water lin the vicinity of the boat ;-and
clustered up with them that the men
can't row with any satisfaction at all.
The boatsWain has been floored by
some of the balls, and he exhibits
good deal of discomposure at the
weight of q sixty-four FOUNDER on the
small of his back. Two on three of
the rOWere have tcaught crabs" in
consequence of the water being so
full of cannon balls; the Commo-
dore's bootlegs are jammed with
spent balls, and very large one rests
directly on the top of his uncovered
head. His little son tugs at his coat
tail, and pleads with him to sit down
out of harms way but this remarka-
BILE man will not sit down, he will not
bulge, and with his head laid back
upon his shoulders, and his breast
barred to the iron tempest, he gazes
calmly into the blue empyrean. The
artist, it should be added, has thrown
out the chest of the hero more than it
was last winter, so that straight line
from his chin to his waist-band would
cut him into three pieces, 1t is a great
picture.

The following exquisite poem Is from the per

hi1e he was with the United States Army in
extco, OF which army he was then a brave ans
The tattoo beats-thelights are gone;
The camp around in sIumber lies
The night with solemn pace moves On,
The shadows thicken Ger the skies;
But sleep my weary eyes hath flown,
And sad uneasy Thoughts arise.
think OF thee. o dearest one,
whose love my earthly life hath blest-
or thee and him-our baby son
who slumbers on thy gentle breast:
God OF the tender, frail and lone,
on, guard the gentle sleeper's rest
And hover. gently hover uear
T0her. whose watchfuI eye is wet
The mother wife-the donbly dear.
In whose young heart have freshly met
Two streams Of love 50 deep and clear
And cheer her dropping spirits yet
Now, while she kneels before Thy throne.7
Oh, teach her, Ruler Of the skies,
That while by Thy behest alone
Earth's mightiest powers fall or rise,
No tear Is wept to Thee Hnknown,
No hair is lost. no sparrow dies.
Thatfhou canst stay the ruthless hands
0fdark disease, and soothe its pain;
That only by Thy stern commands
The battles lost, the soldiers slain
That from the distant seasor land
Thou brings't the wanderer home again.
And when upon her pillow Iene
Her sear-wet check is sadly pressed,
May happier visions beam upon
The Frightening current Of her breast
