ODE TO AN APE.

ODE TO AN APE.
Distinguished shape!
Time.honored ape!
Philosophers, by process Of "se!ect!on,
Have claimed thee as . family connection.
The pride OF birth takes many curious shapes;
some bosst OF high descent-some boast OF
low;,
But these prefer an ancestry Of apes
Tastes differ 80;
Dissatisfied with origin divine,
Some feel their natures more akin to thine!

In modern days as well as ancient timer.

And our philosophcrs-suitso one another;
For both declare thee not handsome man.
But still brother"
Where lie thy great attraction and affinity,
That men should dub these kindred with
divinity!
Some frantic sage
Called thee stage
In progress q ward mankind. on TO perfection
But TO refuse that myth, needs small rejection !;
As his,ory's records show that since the cur Q
Mans pace has auctuated like the sea.
Each d'd some things oetter-some things

And so do we,
But for perfection-naucht In human shape

Aud then, behold!
Ages have rolled,
And wrought no change In thee; thoa'rt still

Thy brain has not enlarged, thy wit increased;
Some races rise some sink-amonS the na.

And manhood may descend TO apehooi's Level;
But though the word through countless gen
erations
Should spin and revel-
Man would be man-the soul in mortal shape,
Imperfect still; and thou a soGlless ape.

Senators Specializing in Pub. Docs.

In connection with the discovery of
the sale Of valuable public documents
to secondhand dealers in Washington,
two cases Of note have come to light.
In the first. Senator was applied to
by vender of oil paintings to pur-
chase a landscape for S206. The artist
finally offered TO exchange for docu-
ments then due the Senator, and the
sale was made Oh these terms. The ar
tist received nearly all the books due
for the last Congress and sold them to
secondhand dealers. The other case
was that OF u Senator whose term ex-
pired with the last session. He traded
all books due for two years for single
rare volume In the hands of 4 second

BEN DAVIS APPLE IN ILLINOIS, -
AT the last meeting of the Warsaw Hor-
ticultural society, the question was What
one variety of apples combines IN the
greatest degree the three following condi-
tions bearing qualities, keeping, and
commercial value? e
" 1t was decided that the Ben Davis
apple met these requirements more fully
than any other variety. Willow Iwig
would stand next, according to the remarks
Of those speaking on the subject.
ut is proper to observe here that the
Ben Davis apple grown in this locality is
not the leathery, tough, tasteless apple
which seems to attach to it in other
localities, but is a fine, handsome, large
apple, of uniform size, and, although
not the finest-1avored apple on the
list, is nevertheless very good apple, and
leads all others in bearing and keeping, and
beats everything in the market. 1t is be-
lieyed by some that the soil Of the white
oak clearings, having more or less sub
stratum of limestone, has something in
favor Of orchards. This is more especially
so commencing Immediately south Of War
saw, along the timber ridges. AT all events,
the Ben Davis is grown in its greatest per-
lection in these localities. The apples be.
fore the meeting were noted for their size,
beauty, flavor, and perfectly sound con-
dition. We shall not be disappointed to
witness apples of the same variety exhibited
at the June meeting.

FRAUDULENT LEGIsLATIoN.--The
Philadelphia Ledger, referring to q propose
ed amendment to the state constitution to
enable persons to dispute the validity of any
putative act of assembly alleged to be taint-
ed by fraud, bribery or any undue means,
either in procuring its passage or in get
ting the signature Of the governor, says:
6 For many years past there has not been
session of the legislature without the APP
pearance of bills bearing all the usual
marks Of passage which were never pass
ed. The existing act relating to the col
lection of delinquent taxes in this city is
one of the these; section in Philadel-
phia liquor law which appeared year or
two ago is another. And at the very last
session of the legislature the speaker was
called out ofhis bed at at early hour in
the morning 10 sign railroad bill contain
ing section which had never been sub
mitted to his house. He discovered the
trick in time. however, and the bill was
recalled to save exposure. This class OF
frauds or undue means requires plain
terms to reach it."

mothers know how to do--and fewer fash
ionable ladies whose time and thoughts are
so occupied in attending to the fripperies
and follies of the times, that they feel
obliged to turn over their young to the ten

in too many cases are too ignorant to know
and too stupid to learn the complicated

more true mothers by all means, and other
needed reforms will follow in good time.
