LIBERTY.
By JOHN HAY,

What man 10 there 10 bold that he should say
'"rhus and thus only would II have the esea?"
For whether lying calm and beautiful,
Clasping the earth in love, and throwing back
The smile Of heaven from waves of amethyst;
Or whether, freshened by the busy winds,
1t bears the trade End navies of the world
To ends Of use or stern activity;
Or whether, lashed by tempests, it gives way
Te elemental fury, hovs and roars
At all its rocky barriers, in wild lust
ofruln drinks tho blood of living things,
And strevs its wrecks DER leagues Of desolate
shore;-
Always 1t is the sea, and all bow down
Before its vast and varied maiessy.
And SO In vain will timorous men essay
To set tho metes and bounds Of Liberty.
For Freedom is its own eternal law.
1t makes its own conditions and in storm
Or calm alike fulflls the unerriag Win,
Let US not then despise it whom it lies
Still asa sleeping lion, while swarm
OF gnat-ike evils hover round its head;
Nor doubt it when in mad, disjointed times
1t shakes the torch Of terror, and its cry
Shrills DER the quaking earth, and in the fame
OF riot and war We see its awful form
Rise by the scaffold, where the crimsoa Ak
Rings down its grooves the knen Of shuddering
kings.
For alwaysin in thine eyes, o Liberty!
Shines that high light whereby the world is
saved;
And though thou slay u.s. We will trust in thee!

l told Mr.. Anglesea if he ever
wanted any cross-examination done in
any of his law cases, he was at liberty
to send for me, for tho l might not
ask just the right questions thought
that might make up for that slight
defect by the number that l was con-
fident from my three-quarters of an
hours practice I could ask.
Mrs. Crump, the deaf wife of the
magistrate, is the only other person
| shall here introduce to the reader.
She was more gaudily dressed than
any Of my other callers, and such a
voluble talker that one found it not
only difficult to get very thin word
in ed gewise, but even to understand
the opposite party. The opposite
party talked in cascades. She rained
her words upon you. She came down
in torrents. You felt drenched be-
fore she had been with you FIVE min
utes. But for all-and her insur-
mountable love Of gossip learned
to like the woman, l heard that she
was good-hearted and in time found
her SO, and tho l am naturally preju-
diced against little weazened-up
women, that look as if a moderate
gale of wind would blow them away
and land them somewhere on the 9TH
er continent, came, in time, to repose
great faith in the kind motives and
well-meant though awkward acts OF
my new neighbor.
Getting up after half hours call
agreeable, on the whole-to 60
she chopped now, Mrs. Anglesea, you'll
come to see me soon, for my house
though humble and would have been
much less so, but Mr.. Crump though
a magistrate and would have risen in
his profession except tor his lamenesS
had slaved hard for his family and
the law is a hard profession. as both
Of us can testify having been bound
in it, not that [ would mention Mr..
Crump in the same breath with Mr.
Anglesea who is rising member Of
the bar, and so hope you will come
and not feel above any Of US here in
town for there are some good people
Joneses you know and Bakers-and
though humble ever open to you-and
though as I said it is a slavish profes
sion and its now nine year that we've
been in this very place and indeed il
the same house, except the yard which
has been enclosed and two chimney;
back, and not feel above any Of us
and come. Do now"
| And SO now, my dears, you are &C
quainted with my pastor, the servant
the senior warden, my plans for 1

or three of my female neighbors.

BOSS TwEED's QUARTERS.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Hdrper's Weekly.
From being treated as man con-
victed of enormous crimes, Tweed has
been allowed to assume the character
Of a distinguished guest on the island.
He occupies a large room in the
scond story Of the central building of
the Penitentiary. This apartment,
situated near the head of the stairs,
leading from the main entrance, is 20
feet long, ID feet wide, and u in
height. 1t contains a double bed,
screened by sliding curtain, and is
furnished with bureau, washstand,
two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Of which is
for the accommodation Of his private
secretary,-chairs, books, etc. The
bureau is supplied with all the neces-
sary articles for the toilet. To spare
the ''statesman's" eyes, the white-wash-
ed wall is covered to the height OF
| about I feet with maroon-colored
muslin. The floor is partially carpet
| ed. The visitor who undertakes to
| ascend the stairs leading to this room
is told that there is nothing there but
the private quarters Of the officers,
and his attention is politely directed
elsewhere.
The Warden's house, situated about
a quarter of a mile north of the Peni-
tentiary, is reached by a pleasant
shaded walk, which in fine weather
ferns the favorite promenade of the
retired Statesman" sometimes alone,
sometimes accompanied by his private
secretary. The screen Of trees spare
| him the gaze of curious visitors, and
affords opportunities for a dignifed re:
| treat should an outsider chance tC
come too near. As he has been per,
mitted to let his hair, mustache and
beard grow, and to wear the ordinary
dress Of a gentleman, he might en-
counter a visitor without being rec
ognized. In the north wing of thu
| Warden's house is the large dining
room where the old "Tcn Cover,
nors" used to entertain their friends
This is now used by the retired Estates
man," who takes his meals there il
privacy. 1t is not to be supposed thai
the table is furnihsed with the regula
ton prison fare. That would be toe
coarse for a man accustomed to Mr.
Tweed's former style of living.

Dispu;ing with Satan.

An old and excellent writer gives
the following advice:
eff you would not be foiled by
temptation, do not enter into a dis
pute with Satan. When Eve be-
gan to argue the case with the SER
pent, the serpent was too hard for
her; the devil 10y his logic, disput-
ed her out of Paradise. Satan can
mince sin, make it small and warm
ish it over, and make it look like
virtue. Satan is too subtle soph-
ister to hold on an argument with
him. Dispute not but fight. If
you enter into a parley with Satan,
you give him half the victory"
The reason is obvious for we cam
not parley with Satan without Civ
ing up principle, and wherever we
allow ourselves to debate the ques-
ton, whether we will do wrong. it
Is almost certain that we shall yield.
Principle being abandoned, there
is little else to guide but evil pas
sions, which strongly prompt to
sin.
