PRINCE DE JoINvILLE recently made
a speech on public affairs at Langres,
and strange to say, gave his idea of gov
erning properly and practically in a
homely simile impaired to him by Presi-
dent Lincoln. 1t runs in this wise:
have no settled policy. This is my
line of conduct When the tent of gov
ernment is shaken | try to secure it by
fixing fresh peg to stay it, or else |
hammer at the others to drive them deeper.
The prince then asserted that he only
wished to keep the "tent of government
steady, and would endeavor to supply
new pegs or strengthen the hold of the
old ones to effect his purpose. And thus
the unadorned precept of the unpretend-
ing ruler of our young country is admir-
ingly placed before one of the oldes. ma
tions Of Europe by a prince. So is the
New World teaching the Old. Abraham
Lincoln's crude native wisdom and ami
able tact are worth more than the tnesse
OF Louis Napoleon and and adroitness Of
Theirs.

A JAPANESE FABLE.

One day q dog led its master into
forest and showed him hidden treasure.
Now the old man must always be talk
ing, and he told this afterwards to wick
ed neighbor, who made the dog take him
to the same forest, but only found stones
in the place where the treasure had been.
Thereupon he killed the dog and buried
him in the same place, at the foot of Il
tree.
When the old man heard this, he cut
down the tree and made the branches in
to q little chapel in memory of the good
dog, and out of the trunk he made q
mortar to pound rice in. SO soon, how
ever, as he began to use the mortar, he
found that gold came out of it. The old
man could not keep quiet, and his neigh
Dor soon came to hear of that, and he
he could get no gold out of the mortar,
so in his wrath he burned it to ashes.
The old man begged to have the ashes,
and took them home and then the next
night the dog appeared to him in n
dream, and told him to take the ashes of
tho mortar on the following day, and
stand OH the highway with them and
when he should SOC daimio with his
retinue, not to fall ON his knees, but TO
answer the summons of the guards, and
say that he was magician, and could
cover dead trees in moment with tho
most beautiful blossoms.
The next day the old man did as the
dog had told him, and when the guards
brought him before the daimio he threw n
handful of ashes into the air, upon which
n tree growing near Immediately began
to blossom. Then the daimio was aston
ished and took the old man with him to
his palace, and sent him away soon after
with rich presents.
When the envious ncighbor heard OF
this, he came again to the old man and
begged to have, at least, the ashes of the
mortar. The old man gave them to him,
and then he tried to do the same with
them that the old man had done. But
alas, there were no flowers, and the dust
flew into the daimio's eyes so the dai-
mio cut down the poor man and tho
guards cut OIL his head.

LEAF AND BLADE.

l am lowly grass-blade,
A fair green leaf is She;
He little fiuttering shadow
Falls daily over me.
She sits so high in sunshine,
| am SO low in shade,
| do not think she ever
Has looked where l am laid.
She sings to merry music,
She trolies in the light;
The great moon plays the lover
With her through half the night.
The swift, sweet winds, they latter
And woo her all the day;
l tremble lest the boldest
Should CARRY her away.
Only little grass-blade,
That dare not look so high
Yet, Oh not any love her
One-half so we'll rs |.
My little love-so happyi
My love-so proud and fair
Would she might dwell forever
In the sweet summer air.
But, ah the days will darken,
The pleasant skies will pail,
And pale, and parchcd, and broken,
My little love down fall;
And yet the thought most bitter
Is not that she must die,
But that own death should bring her
To lie 50 low as |.

JoHN VARNUM, JR., of Lyndon, VT,
Is practical joker. A few Sundays ago
in returning from church, he was con-
versing with his wife on the subject OF
the sermon, and remarked that he
couldn't believe that saint and sinner ever
dwelt so near together as the sermon rep
resented. His wife intimated that they
could, and nstanced the following case.
"Havn't you and dwelt in the same
house for several years 2" This was a
square hit on John, but he wormed out
of ii, and closed the case with the follow
ing argument: " Yes to be sure but
did ever called you sinner ?" Judg-
ment for John and no appeal.

The Best That L Can Do.

l cannot do much," said little star,
To make the dark world bright;
My silvery beams cannot struggle far
Through the folding gloom of night;
But I'm only part of Gods great plan,
And I'll cheerfully do the best l can.
"What is the use," said fleecy cloud,
OF these few drops that hold?
They hardly bend the lilly proud,
Though caught in their cup of gold

SO my treasures I'll give as well as l cam"
A child went merrily forth to play,
But thought, like a silver thread,
Kept winding in and out all day
Through the happy, golden head
Mother said, Darling, do all you can,
For you are a part of Gods great plan"
She knew no moro than the glancing star,
Nor the cloud with its challice full,
How, why and for what all strange things were
She was only child at school
But she thought, &" 1t is part of Gods grea
plan,
That even | should do all that cam"
She helped younger child along
Whom the path was rough to the feet,
And she had from her heart little song
That we all thought passing sweet;
And her father, weary tOil-worn man,
Said, " will do likewise the best that | cam
Our best? All, children, the best of us
Must hide our faces away
When the Lord of the vineyard comes TO look
At our task at the close of the day!
But for the strength from above-'tis the Mas

"How Much Do l COST" little
daughter, ten years old, lay on her death
bed. 1t was hard parting with the pet
flower of the household. The golden hair,
the loving blue eyes, the bird-like voice,
the truthful, atfectionate, large hearted,
pious child! How could she be given up?
Between this child and her father there
had always existed not relationship
merely, but the love of congenial natures.
He fell on his knees by his darling's bed
side, and wept bitter tears. He strove to
say, but he could not, "Thy will be
done !" 1t was Il conflict between grace
and nature, such as he had never before
experienced. His sobs disturbed the child,
who had been lying unconscious. She
opened her eyes and looked distressed.
Papa, dear papa" said she at length.
What, my daring?" answered the
father, striving for composure.
Papa" she said, in faint, broken
tones, "how much-do cost you-every

piled in great agitation, for he feared de-
lirmm was coming on.
"But, please, papa, how much do l
cost you?"
To soothe her, he replied, though with
a shaking voice, Well, dearest, perhaps
ten pounds. What then, darling"
" Because, papa, | thought may be,
you would lay it out this year in Bibles,
for poor children to remember me by"
With what delicate instinct had the
dying child touched the strings of com
fort A beam of heavenly joy cleaned
in the fathers heart, the bliss of one no
bic, loving spirit mingled with its like.
Self was forgotten, the sorrow Of parting,
the lonely future. Naught remained but
the mission of love, and thrill of graft
tude that in it he and his beloved were
CO. workers.

papers is at all times proper and desl-

these same papers now TO declare as

that the men they helped to elect, are
incompetent or unia,thful to duty, is TO

Ii they are not unjust to themselves,
they are certainly unfair to their repre-
