The other morning the latch OF the gate
opening into the yard of the Presidents vii
la, at Long Branch, was softly lifted, and a
lissome little figure, with face as bright as
all the moons of Saturn rolled into single
satellite skipped up the walk and rang the
door-bell. The visitor was ushered into the
parlor and, gathering as many books on his
lap as he thought necessary to give him
literary appearance patiently awaited the ar
rival of the President. In few minutes his
Excellency entered, and upon beholding the
little figure nearly buried behind pile of
volumes, exclaimed with joyful surprise:
"Why, Chids!"
The famous poet for 1t was ne) eXtricated
himself as quickly as he could from his tenn
porary sarcophagus of the works of distln-
gulshed authors, and grasped the Presidents
hand with great cordially.
"Pve lust come in from Philadelphia" he
said, "and I've brought little present for
your grandson, which hope you won't think
it too bold in me to Offer
Then he carefully unrolled a morocco
wrapper, and produced a strip of elegantly
bordered white silk, upon which, in letters
of gold were embroidered the following
stanZas:
TO ULYSSES ALGERNON sARToRIs.
Born by the sea, the sounding sea,
what glorious thing it is to be
Born by the sounding sea!
o happy, happy fate.
Born with thy mammals heavenly eyes,,
Born to grow up to be about thy fathers size,
And like thy grandpa, great
Born roaring, radiant boy,
More radiant than gas or oil OF sperm,
To crown with grand paternal JOY
A sure third term"
While the poet read it his voice grew hus-
ky with emotion, and as he presented it to
the President his eyes dropped modestly to
the floor, and his frame shook convulsively.
The hero of Appomattox was also deeply at
fected, and when he had recovered sufficient
ly to speak, said in earnest tones:
"My dear Childs, how, how can l ever re-
pay you for this"
The agitated bard looked cautiously around
and then whispered in his Excelency's ear
something of which no record has been pre-
served, although the word laureate" was au-
dlble. The President gave hime glance that
burned to his vely soul as he replied:
I'm put it in the message, Childs; I'll
put it in the message ."-BrO0klW argus.

He Knew too Much.

\ Dubuque medical student has come to
grief by leason of his remarkable technical
knowledge. The young woman to whom he
WAS attached, one morning received the fol
lowing note: "Dear Angelina, l am sorry to
inform you that in consequence OF circum'
scribed subcutaneous inflammation, charaC
terized by a pointed postular tumor suppu
rating in the center of a curunculus, l am
unable to enjoy the pleasure Of your compa
ny to the Hippodrome. Ever, dearest, thine
Augustus" She read it; she rushed to his
home in an agony of apprehension, and
found that he had only one OF those things
of which Job had SO many When she re
turned home her sensible mother told her
that she had better drop that erudite young
man; if he married, he would, doubtless,
beggar his family by buying Latin dictlona
ries and such. The maternal advice vas fol
lowed; and now A. suffers from something
worse than a Curunculus.
