And make n halo Of their light;

A fathers smiles the whole belight.
Il is not tinged with san2e,', glow
But all immersed IN lifo's bright morni
Then wonder not often go,
In fnncy, back where was born.

The dear old house where was horn.

Back 70 the house where | was born
The old brown house,

But there a mothers kiss assuaged
The pain received from many fall;
When bodings boyhood's mind engaged.
A mothers voice dispelled them all.
And Now lay me down to sleep ~

SAINT FANNY.-Saint Fanny was a
notable housewife. Her house was a
temple Of neatness. Kings might have
dined upon her staircase. Now, her
great delight was to provide all things
comfortable for her husband, a hard
working merchant, much abroad, but
loving his home.@ Now, one night he re-
turned tired and hungry, and by some
mischance there was nothing for supper.
Shops were shut, and great was the grief
Of Saint Fanrye IT TalSmgoffa bracelet of
seed pearls, she said: "I'd give this ten
times oyer for supper for my husband. +"
And straightway every pearl becam an
oyster; and Saint Fanny opened and the
husband ate, and 10! in every oyster was
a pearl as large as hazel nut; and so
was Saint Fanny made rich for life. =

BATH IN THE DEAD SEA.

After our hot, dusty ride, the tempta
tion of the cool, sparkling water is ire
sistible. We fling our clothes down any
where and anyhow, and there is regular
race for the "frst in" at which Abraham
knowing what the result will be-, grins
sardonieally., And well he may; for now
the wonderful buoyancy of the water,
which we have hitherto regarded as a
mere travellers yarn suddenly asserts
itself in most remarkable Manner The
first who steps in makes a few strides
safely enough; but at the third he makes
a sudden plunge forward, throws his feet
spasmodicaliy above the surface and be-
gins rolling overlike a wounded whale.
Before we can recover from our amaze
ment at these maneuvers, we find our
selves initiating them whether we will or
not; and now begins a series of antics, at
which the Arabs on Shore make the air
ring with laughter Black tries to swim
according to rule, and finds himself flap
ping the air With his hands as If beating
off mosquitos,, while his, heels amuse
themselves with similar performance in
the rear. l turn upon my back, but the
moment / strike out with. my feet find
myself revolving like teetotum without
advancing an inch. Freshman attempts
to put his feet to the ground, and instantly
turns a somersault as if trying to jump
down his own throat, while the nauseous
fluid (the favor Of which may be family
represented by a. judicious mixture of
birthstone and old shoes insinuates itself
into his nose and mouth, making him
cough and sputter as though he would
sneeze his very brains out. Nevertheless
the exquisite clearness and delicious cool
ness of the water tempt us to remain in a
considerable time; but at length the
scratches and gals, Of which we all carry
more than few, begin to smart so intol-
lerably from the action of the salt that we
are all fain to beat retreat-frosted all
over like bride cakes with crystallized
salt. "Well," observes Freshman as we
mount again, that would be q Jolly sell
for o fellow that wanted to commit sui
eide /! He might jump till ALPS blue and
be none the worse ~ 'I believe you,"
chimes in Black; ",thismust be the place

"REMINISCENCES.

Upon hearing the news of the election
of Bill Rousch, of Placer county, to the
Assembly, "Old Shenandoah calls to
mind and relates the following story with
which Rousch was connected:
In 1889 the Wings Of Old Virginia, in
order to secure the Legislature of that
State and the election of Whig to the
United States Senate, brought out their
very strongest men in every county in
the State for legislative offices. In Or
ange county, Ex-Governor James Bar
bour, then quite vn old man, was induced
to become candidate for the House of
Delegates { Assembly, Of the General As
sembly, in. the hope that his long public
services aud commanding ability would
enable him to carry the county.
On election day the Ex-Governor ad-
dressed thepeople at the Court House,
and after speaking several hours, with
his usual great ability, closed his remarks
about as follows:
Fellow citizens, when was young
man your fathers elected me to the Legis-
lature which passed the celebrated reso-
lutions Of '9S and 'e9; afterwards they
sent me to Congress; then they made me
Governor of this ancient Commonwealth; 4;
next they made me United States Senator
from whichiposition / was called to seat
in the Cabinet of John Quincy Adams,
and by him l was subsequently sent as
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court OF
st. James. And now, fellow citizens,
after all this, you can imagine how con-
temptible / now feel in finding myself, in
my old age, engaged in this petty contest
for seat in the Lower House of the Gen
eral Assembly of this State, with Tom
Davis, a tavern Keeper, for my opponent,
a man who no later than last week lost a
bet Of three hundred dollars with Bill
Rousch that Arkansas is o free State"
Yet Tom Davis, who did not know that
Arkansas was then slave State, beat
Governor Barbour, one the first men of
the Old Dominion, just ten votes for that
Insignificant seat--and of such is politics.
