He even traded away seats on the bench OF the
Supreme Court, and bargained tuogeships for .

no more detestable species of corruption than
this.
Gen. Grants personal associates and intimate
friends since he became President have not gen.
orally been of the better class. This fact has
given rise to the belief that his tastes are low.
There is much evidence that he has grown
greedy and misery since he came into Office. He
is as ambitious as he is ayaricious. In grasping
at third term, who shall say that he did not
aim at empire? He worships with equal devo-

PATHETIC STORY OF PHANTOM DAUGHTER
[St Louis republicans New York letter.


There dwells ia this city lady who in all re-
She lost five years ago an only daughter of great
promise, seventeen years old, and the idol of the
mother. Since her child's d. ath she has had the
room she used to occupy cleaned daily, and the
untouched bed pulled to pieces and made over.
She sits before vacant chair at the table and
carefully fills the unused plate, and spring and
fall buys the newest and prettiest things for
"Addie: giving away the last years garments,
'Addle" having done with them. There IS no
appearance Of mental gloom or disorder about
he, yet she carries this vagary into every act of
her life. Riding out, no one ever sits beside her,
as that seat is filed by the imaginary air-dI avn
daughter. When seat- are taken at theatre her
husband always gets three. You see the vacant
chair between them, where she supposes the
dead "Addie sits and views tie performance
She is cheerful and happy, and asked friend of
mine the other day for the pattern of a wrapper,
saying Addle kept her room 80 much it woud be
seryiceable, and several days later saw the poor
mother, busily braidipg q cashmere sack for
''Addie." She will speak with all nationality for
hours on all subjects, but suddenly excuse her
self, ing she must go to "Addie for few
moments. Sitting beside the empty bed ito
which her daughter was confined for two years
before her death) she clasps an unseen hand and
talks hours together with her phantom child. 1t
is . strange case, but by no means sad one,
since her tender minis ration to this viewless
" Addie " makes the mothers hear. rejoice. To
all intents and purposes the daughter seems to
her to be with her constantly, Her husba, con-
templates taking her abroad, and the lady is
Already packing up Adde'S things.

A MODERN IHAMUS,

[Whereupon their ship drove with the tide till
it was carried near the Isle of Paxi; when imme-
diately voice was heard by most Of the passen-
gers calling unto one Thamus, and that with SO
loud a voice as made all the company amazed;
which Thamus was mariner of Egypt, whose
name was scarcely known i'll the chip. He re-
turned answer to the first calls but at the third
he replied; "Here here! am the man." Then
the voice said aloud to him, "When you are ar
rived at Palodes take care to make it known that
the great god Pan is dead" Being
come to Palodes, there was no wind stirring, and
he sea was as smooth as glass. Whereupon,
Thamus. standing on the deck, with his fare to
the land, uttered with loud voice his message,
saying, "The great Pan is dead" He had no
sooner said this but they heard dreadful noise,
not only oil one, but Of several, who, to their
thinking, groaned and lamented with kind of
astonishment.- -Plutarc1ts Morals.]
As fading sunset brought at last
The triumphs Of elet ticn day,
The skip er OF sloop that passed
The darkening coves of Ipswich Bav
Was startled by voice that cried
Unwonted message DER the tide:
" Sail swiftly back to Boston town,
And at her House of Customs say,
The lido! whom they loved to crown,
The great god Ben, is dead to- day."
From Sale bury to Marblehead
The coast re-echoed, s'Ben is dead"
With joy the skipper heard the shout
That wood and wave around him cast
Come, boys, stand by to so about;
1t seems the devils dead at last
These tidings of the fall of Ben
Will be good news for honest men,"
The sea that rolls the capes between
Was never cleft by swifter keel;
The silent streets that intervene
Have seldom heard so light heel |
And, long before the stars were dim, |
The House OF Customs fronted him.
His clarion message rang aloud,
"The great god Ben is dead to-day"
The mighty building bent and bowed
In doubt, and sorrow, and dismay
From lowest pile to topmost stone.
Loud laughed the skipper as he ran,
"The deity for whom you moan
Is nothing but tricky man;
He was divine to fools a one."
So fall, as purer faiths arise,
The gods that ruled in darker Skies

THE KEYSER CHURNING.
Max Adeier.

They have new hired girl over at Keyser's
| farm, just outside our town, and on Tuesday
before starting to spend the day with friend,
Mrs. Keyser instructed the girl to whitewash
the kitchen during her absence. Upon re-
turning Mrs. keyser found the job completed
| in very satisfactory manner.
On Wednesdays Mrs Keyser always churns,
and last Wednesday when she was ready she
went out, and finding that Mr.. Keyser had al
ready put the milk into the churn she began
| to turn the handle. This was at o'clock in
| the morning, and she turned until 10 without
| any signs ct butter appearing.
| Then she called in the hired man and he
| turned until dinner time, when he knocked of
| with some very offensive language addressed
to that butter which had not yet come. After
dinner the hired girl took hold of the crank
and turned it energetically until o'clock.
when she let 60 with remark which con-
veyed the impression that she believed the
churn to be haunted. Then Mr.. Keyser came
| out and said he wanted to know what was tho,
matter wi b that churn, anyhow. It was a
good enough churn, if people only knew
enough to work it. Mr.. Keyser then worked
the crank until half-past three, when, as the.
butter had not come, he surrendered it to the.
hired man, because he had an engagement in
the village. The man ground the machine to
an accompaniment of frightful imprecations:
then the Keyser children each took turn for
half an hour, then Mrs Keyser tried her
hand, and when she was exhausted, she again
enlisted the hired girl, who said her prayers
while she churned. But the butter didn't
come.
When Keyser came home and found tho
churn still in action he blasted his eyes and
did some other innocent swearing, and then
he seized the handle and said that he would
make the butter come if he kicked up an.
earthquake in doing it. Mr.. Keyser effected
about two hundred revolutions of the crank
minute, enough to have made any ordinary
butter come from the ends of the earth, and.
when the perspiration began to stream from
him and still the butter did not come, he ut
tered one wild yell of rage and disappoint--
ment and kicked the churn over the fence.
When Mrs. Keyser went to pick it up she put.
her nose down close to the butteY-milk and
took sniff Then she understood how it.
was. The girl had mixed. the white wash in
the churn and left it there.
A good, honest ad intelligent servant who.
knows how to churn can find a-situation al
keyser's. There is Vacancy

She said it was much better than slicing OF
grating the meat.
Miss Corson called the attention of the class
to the fact that nothing was wasted by Mon
| sieur; even the pieces of pork rind and little
bits of carrots, turnips, and potatoes were
utilized The pork rinds he put in the bottom
of the saucepan. All watched intently the
process of larding the tenderloin. The little
boy attention did not flag.
Miss H.-IfI had little daughter 1 would
like to put her here tor three months to see
thisFrenchman cook. 1t would be better In
vestment for her than three months music

Mrs. B.-Yes; what we learn by sight or
