GOTHAM'S PASTORAL.

Poetic Sunday in the Park-Birds,
FLOWERS, Foliage, Fragrance, Beauty
and Sunshine blended In q Sabbath
Dream.
The continued Cory OF the Summer Sundays
have rendered the Park country paradise, resting
IKE an emerald jewel in the bosom OF the great
city. Crimson May apple blossoms, snowy bridal
wreaths, blue violets, lilies OF the valley, llacs,
tulips daisies and buttercups, some OF them almost
ready TO fade and yield up their brief Spring fra
GRANGE, give rich uxuriance to the scene and
Ill the beautiful garden with their fragrance.
II we shut our eyes cannot help knowing
The grass Is green and the flowers are growing
From the gravelled drives the views across the
soping lawns and down in the magic dells OF the
Park are enhancing, while on the lawns marked
common and in case or a surreptitiOus invasion
Of more exclusive garden spots,
Ripe grasses trammel the travelling foot,
And the faint fresh fame OF the young year Pushes,
from leaf to Hover, frOm Hover TO fruit.
The pleasant breezes OF yesterday continued to
render the Park even more delightful than in the
days Of arid heat and the torrid cycle. "What Is
more gentle than a wind in Summer?'' surely
nothing Is more inviting than gentle Summer
wind among the shades, the dclls, the alcoves and
the bowers OF the Park, and the people or the city
fully appreciated Its delights yesterday for at least
twenty thousand visitors sucked its sweets during
The day, staying like butterflies,
One moment in an open flower
And buzzing chcerly from bower to bower.
The usual places of greatest interest were the
Mall, the statues, the new Bethesda fountain the
lake and the menagerie, and these were visited
throughout the day by great crowds OF the s0ver-
eign proprietors Of the Park. The animals were
especial objects Of admiration among the youth
The wrestling OF the cubs and the wonder
full strut or the eagles were objects of
Joy AL day among the representatives
OF Young America, ana even mature age affected
delight at the gambols OF the sea lions ana dig
nihed slumbers of the king OF beasts. The in
the menagerie was rather strong for tender nos
trils, and the geological wonders were not, there
much in demand AMONG the M
iairer sex. The secluded rambes and arburs were
not neglected by signing lovers, the lake was filed
with pleasure boats and the Mall with handsome
equipages. On the grass of the commons were
little knots lying in the shade, reading or watching
the varying crowd; laughing children were swing
ing in the soups; gray-clad policemen were drow-
silly trampng their beats, and mlschievous young
Arabs were hallOOing In the arches When the sun
had finally sunk in the West and dusk had fallen
upon the beautiful earth and the peaceful day, the
crowd, pent up for the week in the city, VINO had
found 1t sweet to look day out OF the into
the fair and open lace oil heaven returned to their
homes
Mourning that day soon has glided by.

When Mr.. Wendell Bollman built the
splendid bridge over the Potomac, at
the quaint old town of Harpers Ferry,
he little thought that he was providing
the people of the Valley, and possibly
of the Maryland side also, with quiet
Gretna Green of their own. We find
the following amusing reminiscence the
letter of q recent traveller to Winches-
ter -
In front of me sat an old lady, with a
dear, good face-and delicious lunch
who seemed to take great interest
in the young couples.
"You see those two, in the front seat
opposite 2" said she, pointing and shak-
ing her head good-naturedly. Looking
at the seat thus indicated, l saw a
Young man and woman. neither of whom
seemed to be over twenty.
"Well," said she, whispering. m!ste
riously, 'they have just been married
married on The bridge
Married on the bridge-what is that!"
"Why. don't you know : Down on
the bridge at Harper's Ferry! When
young couple, down our way, don't
care to wait for leave or license, they
Just take run down to the Ferry, and
get married on the bridge, over in Ma
ryland. You haven't the least idea,
either, how many do it. It's quite the
fashion. They are not all runaway
matches, though, like that one. There
is the young lady back of us, in brown
dress and blue bonnet-she was married
there two days ago, and her folks knew
all about it. You see, she is the daugh-
ter of Presbyterian elder in our place,
and if she had been married at home
she would have been obliged to ask to
the wedding all the church and half The
village, so the young folks just slipped
off by themselves, and were married
down there. It's good idea, reckon.
They've had little bridal tour, down
and back, and saved the cards and fuss.

A Kiss IS A PRoMlsE.-The highest
judicial tribunal of the State of New
York has just rendered a decision
which makes kissing and flirting and
casting "sheepseyes" a dangerous bust
ness. In recent case Judge Nelson
charged that no words were necessary
to constitute an engagement, but "the
CLEAN of the eye and the conjunction of
of the lips are overtures, when they be-
come frequent and protrscted, which
amount to promise of marriage" The
jury, always eager to do thing which
shall be gallant, gave RoxeIena, the
plaintiff, S15,000 for the wear and tear
of her lips and affections. This decision
was confirmed by the Court of Appeals
A Des Moines, Iowa, paper says that
''there is now only one way left fer the
young people to enjoy the pleasures of
kissing and escape the possibilities of
contracting marriage promise, and
that is for the unmarried men to kiss
the married ladies, and the unmarried
girls to kiss the married men. We vote
for the latter.

A CHILD BoRS Wlru CHIGNoN-
A correspondent of the Lebanon Stan
dard, writing from Taylor county, KY,
says: A respectable lady living in the
western portion of the county has given
birth to child, which lived four hours,
the most extraordinary Of any OF which
I ever heard. 1t was born with a we'll
developed chignon on the top of its
head. Indeed, it was so plain that no
person could fail to see the perfect re-
semblance to that piece Of head gear.
The peculiar sppendsge was composed
of muscular or heshy substance exact
ly resembling chicnon. 1t was the
wonder of the neighborhood, and large
numbers called to see this remarkably
natural curiosity. Some time before the
birth of the child, quite number Of la.
dies, including the mother, were talking
and jesting about chiguons. The above
is vouched for by one Of our most re
spectable citizens

SATURDAY NIGnr.-Wbat recolec-
tions cluster around the memory as Sat
urday night, while the unceasing roll of
time, again pays its weekly visit The
weary labor of the week over, the tired
mortal sits down and meditates upon
the ups and downs OF the world and
the vicissitudes incidental to this mum
dane sphere, while the vird in fitful
, gusts brings down the Autumn colored
leaves in thick profusion, and howls
musicially around his habitatioD. Sat
urday night andthe pattering rain drops
si1g q mournful requiem to the death Of
another week; Saturday night, and the
heart Of many a wandering bachelor
turns with feyered longing to home
and freside of his own Saturday night;
and the willy lawyer shuts his book, lays
aside his half finished brief; Saturday
night, and the specializing merchant
closes his ledger, locks the door OF his
massive iron safe; Saturday night, and
the brain racked printer quietly smokes
his tobacco stained pipe as his thoughts
run lazily-not gaily, not sadly-ba:k
to the memory Of Saturdays gone in the
long ago, OF Saturdays yet to come;
Saturday night, and all unitedly thank
God that tomorrow will come the rest
of the holy, quiet Sabbath.

OLD PErE's CoSscIEScK.-The color
ed brother who is conscious Of the mfr
mites of man, and sspires to = purer
and higher life, is seldom without words
to express his emotions, albeit some
times in phrase more direct than elo-
quent. SO it was with an old negro
named Pete, who was very much troub-
led about his sins. Perceiving him one
day with downcast look, his master
asked him the cause.
oh, massa, I'm such great sinner
But Pete, said the master, you are
foolish to take it so much to heart You
never see me troubled about my sins
4 know de reason, massa, said Pete.
when you go out duck-shooting, and
kill one bird and wound another, don't
you run after de wounded duck 2
yes Pete and the master wondered
what was coming next.
'Well, massa, dat is de way wild you
and me. The debil's got you, sure; but
as he am not snre of me; he jis chase dis

THE OLD MAN GOES TO TIE FAIR.

I'm very dusty and tired, wife! I've just
come home from the fair;
So give me my pipe and tobacco, and
. I'll smoke in my easy chair;
It's tiresome work playin' for feeble
old men like me
It's tiresome work seein' where every
one wishes TO see.
Our fairs are runnin' down; they are
not like the fairs Of old,
Where you took the prizes for bread,
and butter as yellow as gold;
There were hundreds of useful things
that were we'll worth seem then /;
Now, dozens of racin' horses and hun
dreds of bettin' men.
What all this sportin will lead to is
more than | now can tell
But, somehow, it seems to me like the
downward road to HI, well
I may be little harsh, but I'm speakin
the simple truth,
For bettln, racln and drlnkln are the
foes of our noble youth.
We shall come to nation Of gamblers,
if matters keep on this way; F.;
Why, what do you think Z? youngster
accused me of bettin to-day
When l laid my hand on the head
that hasn't seen ten years yet
And called him fine little fellow-he
answered me back, ''You bet !"
"Tut tut little man. said I, "that
thing have never done
Come, stand by your grandpas knee !;
let me reason with you, my son,
He Strengthened up his clothes, and said
with look so queer,
81 didn't come here for preachin'; old
man, walk off on your ear.
We never heard talk like that when
you and | were young;
My father and mothcr-bless 'em-put
bride upon my tongue
I'm old, and I'm gettin blind, but a
difference | can see
'Twixt the boys of eighteen hundred,
and eighteen seventy-three.
How is it about the girls They, too,
from the path have strayed;
| didn't see one a shown the butter her
hands had made
They stood in their pony phaetons, with
woman's ease and grace,
And shouted as loud as any when ia
vorite won the race.
All eyes were watchin the track; the
race was every mans theme
And l said to myself, is this fair, OF
is it only dream :"
| saw bout a dozen boys lookin round
at the sheep and swine,
And the frosts of seventy winters had
silvered their heads like mine.
Why on airth don't they change the
name, when the wrong name 1t has
No longer call it fair, but an aggricul
tural trot
Then men won't be takin' things fol
sensible folks to see,
With nobody there to see em, but Grip,
pied old men like me.
There, take my pipe and tobacco! II
sleep in my easy chair !;
It's tiresome work talkin' about 4 de
generate fair
You needn't disturb me, wife, till the
bells of the evening chime,
For may go back in my dreams to the
fairs Of the olden time.

"HEADs"-BY A SMALL BoY.-IIeads
are of different shapes and sizes. They
are full of notions Large heads do not
hold the most. Some persons can tell
what a man is by the shape of his head.
High heads are the best kind. Very
knowing people are called long-headed.
A fellow that won't stop for anything
or any body is called hot-headed. If he
is not quite so bright he is called soft
headed If he wouldn't be coaxed or
turned he is called pig headed. Animals
have very small heads. The heads of
fools slant back When your head is
cut off you are be-headed Our heads
are covered with hair except bald heads.
There are barrel heads, heads Of ser
mons--and some ministers have IS
heads to one sermon-pn-hcads, heads
of cattle, as the farmer calls his cows
and oxen; head-winds, drum heads, cab
bage4hesds, logger-heads, come to a
head, heads of chapters, head him off,
head of the family and 90 ahead-but
be sure you are right; but worst Of all
heads are dead heads, who hang around

LOST ALL-An avaricious old farmer,
Higgins, residing near Toledo, has had
Sll,30O in the bank for several years.
Some foolish neighbors worked upon
the old mans fears and he resolved to
draw out his money. He took it from
real place of safety, and took it home,
hiding it in bed tick. The following
night he was awakened from profound
slumber by sense of something cold
pressed against his temple and opening
his eyes, found three masked men in
the room all armed, and one Of them
holding cooked pistol, demanded the
money, threatening to blow out his
brains in one minute in case Of refusal
The old man surrendered the money,
and the robbers departed in high glee.
Now the farmer wishes he had left it in
the bank and refuses to be comforted.
Such transactions will be quite com
mon all over the country. People who
have no use for their money will find it
much the safest plan to leave it in the
bank or loan it TO some responsible bus
iness man.

PRospECr OF A PoTAro FAMINE IN TIE
WEsr.-The Western papers, especially
those in Illinois, are giving very dis
couraging reports of the potato crop,
One of them says:
The Colorado bug has again been
so successful in its war against this uni
versal favorite that from all quarters a
scarcity is announced. This causes
prices to advance, and to-day in the
principal markets of the country abush-
el of potatoes cannot be purchased for
less than 81, and in Chicago good ar
ticle commands sl25. This places the
potato practically out of the reach OF
the poor man. Other articles OF food,
under the influence of a stringent mon
ey market have declined in price, but
the potato has advanced. The supply
is yet unequal to the demand, and fur
ther advances in prices must be expect
ed. With potatoes at thirty to fifty
cents, poor families could live comiorta
bly,, even with -four at SO per barrel
and meats of all kinds at high figures;
but when the potato reaches 81 ors sl.25
per bushel, the poor man must resort to
soup bones and such other cheap meth
ods of keeping soul and body together,
as he may be able to discover. But ii
will cost him more to liye-and he can
not live so well-in this manner, even
with prices generally very much below
those which have prevailedseveral years
This is peculiarly unfortunate at this
time, when work is scarce and the ten.
dency of wages is downward" :"
