a BUNCH OF KEYS.
~ MARY BYRON REEsE.

There . lender spot in every heart
For hearts. thank God, are human
And the keys that unlock their inner courts
Are held by man or woman;
4 he feeble touch OF 4 childish hand
May stalwart life be swaying,
And the strong heart, calloused to all be-
side.
The weakest OF wills obeying.
The simplest prayer that was ever Hsped
BY child with ItS mother kneeling,
When the shadows gather At eventide.
It's way to the soul IS feeling;
Twill cleaye a path through the sin with
out
To the good that withln.is sleeping,
When the heart, meath burden Of years
OF crime,
some remnant Oflhsayen is keeping.
There are fingers 50 fragile as barely to keep
LIES brittle threads from breaking,
let in hearts which they open and hold at
will,
The fairest OF Edens are making,
II on souls that we move by our ligbtest
touch,
We were more Of i0ye-bestoWiu-
Roses would blossom 10 bless our lives,
Where thistles anIihriars are growing.
The lowest heart. hold other hearts;
To all are some.keys belonging,
And the spirit waits for the keepers touch
With anxious aud teuder longing:
A smile, a word, kindly act,
A prayer, though in weakness given.
W "a help 10 fashion cur days below.
And open the gates TO Heaven

Col. JERUSALEM r. FREEsE's S
CoURTsHIP.-One of the celebrities
of New Jersey is Col. r. Freese, Of
Trenton, banker, ex-editOr and pa
tron of literature, the fine arts, fine
horses, and finances. a widow re-
Gently moved to Trenton, who own
ed a fine horse, which the Colonel
saw and became desirous of pos
sessing. He visited the fair own
er, but she would not part with the
valuable animal. The colonel, be-
ing a Widower, after short refec-
ton, determined to possess both
the inc horse and the fine lady
He pushed his suit with such ardor
that in three weeks from the date
of his first visit to see the horse, he
and the widow were engaged TO be
married. Two days before the time
fixed for the wedding the Colonel
had d carriage filed with flowers OF
the choicest varieties, and, accom-,
nanied by his intended, he visited
his former wlle's grave, and decora'
ted the grounds and the handsome
monument he had erected TO bel
memory, in the most tasteful man
ner. The next day the loving
couple in like manner visited an
| other cemetery, whera they hand
somelv decked the grave of the Ia
4 dv's first husband, and after max
inc these appropriate peace-offer
inGs TO the names of their departed
loves. the Colonel and the widow
were next day married, and starte'
on their happy wedding tour
Who but Colonel Freese could d
, up a thing in style like this!-

A WORD OF ADVICE.-Ihere are
large numbers of families not only in
Kentucky but in every Southern State
who were left by the war with scani
means and growing families. At
present perhaps there Is enough to
supply the actual wants, but with the
increasing wants of growing families
it Is becoming more and more difficult
! each year to. make both ends meet.
/ The education of the ehildren is nee
| essarily more or less neglected, and
there is no pleasure in looking into
a future where the battle must be
/ fought by these children. though they
are but poorly provided for the con-
[ test. Under these circumstances the
learning Of good tplde is profitable
for every boy in che country. In
Prussia it is made imperative on every
family TO put the sons out as appren-
tices. Neither prince nor peasant Is
exempt, and in future life, no matter
what profession may be adopted, there
is a feeling of security, a knowledge
that if by reason of weakening health,
or for other reasons, it may not be
safe to pursue his profession there is
still left his trade by which he can
always honestly live. Circumstances
are exceedingly varied that make it at
least desirable that a person should
gain a livelihood by means differing
from his first choice. If now he is
capable of farming or of giueering
as well as preaching; if he can mend |
a shoe as well as he can prescribe for |
diseased bodies, or if he can tan a |
hide as well as he can hunt up a case, !
he is not in danger of becoming a !
paunar He oan -snva his indepen- |
dence and manhood, as well as his |
health and income. Even for persons |
with ample means the knowledge of a |
good trade is by no means to be des-
pissed.
The fact is that the education that |
the apprentice gets would be an ad-
complement to that of the
collegian. 1t would give him certain
elements of culture, and even mental
that he is not certain of
getting from Cicero or from Euclid.
1t will be likely to teach him modesty
and give him practical views of life,
as well as tougher his sinews for in
tellectual struggles. On the other
hand, this keeping the professions and
trades in cooperative union, prevents
the tendency to look down on an hon
est avocation, The man who square
Iy earns his living must be looked
upon as an honorable man, while
there is no person on earth more help
less than one raised in the habits of
ease and luxury when the means of
supplying his wants are no longer at
his command. His habits are fixed.
He is incapable, in ninety-nine cases
out Of a hundred, of making an hon
est living. He can not teach school,
because his information is not sufi-
,ientlY accurate, and he can not uu-
1ergo drudgery worse TO one OF his
ndOlent habits than starvation itself. !
On the other hand how many men do i
we find at the very head of their pro- ;
fessious who began life as mechanics:
We need not call over the long cata-
.ogue of men now living in our own [
beginning with Grant, the {
tanner, and johnson, the tailor. 1t is j
enough to say there are many honored
preachers, farmers, lawyers, who are
IS well, shoemakers, timers, carpen- {
ters or coopers.-LeringtOR (Ry.) Ga /

THE OLD PIONEER.


! Written at the grave Of Daniel Boone,
Frankfort Cemetery
a dirge for the brave old pioneer,
: knight-errant Of the wood!
I Calmly beneath the green sod here
/ He rests from field and food;
| The war-hoop and the ranther's screams
No more his soul shall reuse,
| For well the aged hunter dreams
Beside his good old spouse.
A dirge for the brave old:pioneer!
/ flushed now his rifles peal
| The dews Of many yanish'd year,
Are on his rusted steel;
His horn and pouch lie mouldering
Upon the cabin floor
The elk rests by the-salted spring,
Nor fees the fierce wild boar.
A dirge for the brave old pioneer!
Old Dlyiel Of the West!
His Offering was the fleet wild deer,
HIS shrine the mountains crest;
Within his wildwood temples space
An empires towers nod,
Where erst, alone of all his race,
He kuelt to natures God.
A dirge for the brave.OldspiOneer.
Columbus VI the IaHu.
Who guided freedoms proud career
Beyond the conquered strand;
And gave her pilgrim sons home
No monarch's step profanes,
Free rs the chainless winds that roam
Upon its bOundess plains.
A dirge for the brave old pioneerl
The muflled drum resound!
A warrior is slumbering here
Beneath the battle ground;
For not alone with beast Of prey
The bloody strife he waged,
Foremost where'er the deadly fray
OF savage combat ragged,
A dIrge for the brave old pioneer.
A dirge for his old spouset
For her who blest his forest cheer
And kept his birchen house,
Now soundly by her ehIeftain may
The brave cid dame sleep on,
The red mans step is far away,
The VOLTS dread howl is gone.
A dirge for the brave. old pioneer!
His pilgrimage is done;
He hunts no more the grizzly bear
About the setting sun,
Weary at last Of chase and life,
He faid him hers TO rest,
Nor Ieeks he now what sport or strife
Would tempt him further West.
A dirge for the brave old pioneer.
The patriarch of his tribey
He sleeps, no pomPous pile marks where,
No lines his deeds asse~iha
They raised no stone above him here,
Nor carved his deathless name
An empire'iS mis- sepulchTe,
His epitaph is Fame.

AGE WITH YoUTH's FREHNEss.-
The other day, on a Michigan Cental
train coming east, says the Detroit
Free Press, was an old lady who had
never travelled a great deal. She
wasn't used to the ways of he book
agents, the peanut-boys, and the
prize-package nuisances. When the
peanut-boy came along and dropped
a big African peanut IN her lap she
shucked it, opened her mouth, and
dropped the kernel down, instead of
regarding it with silent coItempt or
pitching it ont the wind0w. The
book-agent came along and dropped
a book into her lap. She said she was
much Obleeged," and she carefully
locked it up in her valise. The prize
package boy came along and dropped
a sample, and she wondered how the
road could afford to give away so
much. When he returned she had
opened it and was wearing the breast
pin and eating the gum drops. The
/ book-agent came back and wanted his
book, and before she would give 1t up
she called the conductor to see if it
was right. The card boy wanted pay,
and she appealed to the passengers.
When she understood that she was
right, she handed over twenty-five
cents with the remark: "WeIl, eff ]
hain't all-fired turned round. wish
I'd STAYED to humI'

to get divorced. The affair has ocea-

from q family feud.
In Morgan county, on Wednes-

ed Wesley Richardson, and severe
ly wounded q man named George

row several other parties were bad
ly beaten with clubs and stones.

ton, a small town twelve miles from
