face to face with Miss Worthington's 8

face to face with Miss Worthington's
respected aunt.
Promptness in getting at the pith of
subject was especially characteristic
OF Miss Lucretia, therefore after her
own fashion, in few concise and
straightforward remarks, she made
Hopes lover the happiest OF mortals by
her complete sanction to his suit.
"To be sure you're not rich," she
said, her cir castle in which Hope had
always played the role of ,nillionaire's 9
wife tumbling into ruins at every word,
"but I'm not poor, and SO we'll see
what can be done. Only treat my dar-
ling kindly, Mr.. Grey" extending her
hand, Which the young man took and
pressed warmly-''only be good ana
fond, and all else will be made satisfac-
tory to you BOTH" i.a1Al
And sitting Barry's torrent of thanks,
and wiping suspicious moisture from
her eyes, the dear old soul passed by
the pompous floor walker on her way to
the street in a manner which consider
ably lessened that gentleman's sense of
his own Importance, stock of which
persons in his capacity arc not usually
in the least devoid of.
Chow nice it will be, Barry" Hope
said that night as they talked it all
over. "How very kind in Aunt Lucre-
tia, isn't il ?"
"Yes, very. But tell me pet, didn't
you care for The captain just the least
little bitY'
"No, Barry, never" nesting closer
to him and looking up into his face
with a tender smile. I never loved any
but you. The poor captain" she said
laughingly, few moments after, what
will he think of Aunt Lucretia when he
finds it out ?" ..-.....
But to Hope, that ever remained an
unsolved question, for Miss Montague
never divulged the knowledge of the
captains baseness which she SO provi-
dentially discovered that afternoon in
the cars.
"Such things are best kept quiet"
she would say to herself when thinking
of the matter. "Hope is supremely
happy in the love of good husband,
and what would gain by telling it2
And she was right.

A poRTIoAI ADMINISTRATION.
From the Chicago Times.

Joaquin Miller invited President
Grant to attend his lecture in Washing
ton, and the President accepted, occu-
pying one of the front seats. Miller
spoke in favor Of selecting literary men
for public positions, and, regardless of
the great mans claims who sat before
him, nominated Longfellow and Motley
as rival candidates for the Presidency
next year. Perhaps Mr.. Miller's idea
Of q poet President is. not bad one,
but it would be an Intellectual means Of
political reform unless it were carried
from top to bottlmof the Administra-
tion. In the first place, it weuld be
necessary OF course, to have poetical
cabinet. Mr.. Miller, as the originator
of the scheme, would come in for the
Premiership, and his vast knowledge of
European Courts would fully qualify
him for the Department of State. The
poets genius for diplomacy, too. as
shown in his transactions with the war
like Minnie Myrtle, is such as to fur
nish guara nty that the foreign affairs
of the Government would be managed
discreetly. For Secretary Of the Treas
ury, that bold fnancier, honest citizen
and gifted poet, Walt Whitman, would
be the proper man. His reports and
miscellaneous public documents could
be thrown into that smooth, jingling
verse for which he is famous, and thus,
instead Of the dull, prosy papers which
we are now condemned to read, we
should have something sprightly and
entertaining. For Secretary OF War,
the Times would be in favor of John G.. \
Whittier; and the mere mention OF the
name of this sun Of Mars would be
enough to secure his selection for the
position. For Secretary of the Navy,
we know of no poet better fitted than
George w. Childs. The Navy OF the
United States is in need of nothing now
but an obituary, and Childs is the man
to write it. If the Department of the
Interior under the new Administration
is to keep up its former reputation for
romancing, we know OF no poet better
qualified than F. Bret Harte. The
West is entitled to ut least one Office in
the Cabinet, and Joseph X. G. Forest
should bs made Attorney-G General.
And as the chief requirement for post
MASTER General nowadays is that he
should be handsome, the portfolio Of
the Post Office is likely to be won by
the manly beauty Of Colonel John Hay.
But we have here submitted the
names of the Cabinet officers only, leav-
ing to be filled hereafter the minor
places such as those of the Chiefs of
Bureaus, Sub-treasurers, Postmasters,
Collectors, Whisky-gaugers, etc. Eve
ry applicant for Office should be required
to write poem on q given subject,
in the presence of Civil-service Exam
lining Board. We believe that much
better public servants could be OBJ
tanned in this way than we get under
our present system, TO say the least.
Doubtless there are lean and hungry
poets enough, and poets who would
steal but the scribbler Bohemian's
want are few, aad hiS pcs:a2asig@s
would be small. Let us have poeti-
cal Administration.

A NEW LIGHT.

Recent discoveries in medical science
have demonstrated that much of what
has hitherto been deemed ill-tempor,
ogotism and coarse disregard Of the
feelings of others or the proprieties OF
life, are nothing else than disease OF
the nervous system, and the individual
thus afflicted, instead of being an object
of dislike, and even hatred, as hitherto,
is more properly entitled to our COM
iIiisSrati0h aEais sympathy, Dr. Brown
Sequard tells of lady at the English
court who had to retire from it on &C.

and such light and complimentary
phrases. Victoria could not stand ii
and so shs sent her away. Now any
body but doctor would have thought

TIE FARMERS FRIEND, IN SAN
8a FRANCISCO. ns s,f.a .as

Among the editorial excuraiof part;
OF last summer was Mr.. Thompsonsj ].
Edge, who writes to the Farn,er's Friend
Mechanicsburg, Pa. as follows concern
ing Woodward's Gardens:
After days tour over the city
Philadelphian cannot but notice the sb-
sence Of parks or open squares, TO
which our Eastern cities are attached.
Woodward's Gardens, back OF the city,
in great measure supply. this want.
It is private enterprise of one Of the
original forty4niners," and IL is aaitl
that oil its large receipts are expended
in additions and improvements, the pro.
fit coming from the private horse ear
road, which leads out to the gardens.
Within its enclosure may be found
large collection of animals from allparts
OF the world, q large collection Of birds,
both alive and stuffed, q splendid col
lection OF minerals, fine aquarium, a
half dozen monster sea lions, and at
regular times entertainments both day
and evening, are given in its specious
hal, all for the small sum of "two bits."
This editorial correspondent misstates
an important matter when he discours-
es on our coins, for he tells his Penn
sylvania friends that: @ e0is3a a9
In San Francisco the Eastern tray
eler must learn to use coin, for no pa
per money Except limited amount of
gold notes) is used, and nothing small
er than silver ten cent piece passes
current. It takes some time to got
used to doing without small change, but
one soon learns to gauge his purposes
accordingly. If quarter Of q dollar
is rendered in payment of q bill of ten
cents, the change is only ten cents..''s
Now, while it is very true that the
Eastern traveller must learH to use coin
in San Francisco--a very easy thing to
learn, by the by, where one has the ma
terial to practice with1it is not fiue
that g nothing smaller than ten cent
piece passes current here" This state
of things, we admit, still exists In Qua
mining camps, and here " the Eastern
traveller" will soon get reconciied to 1t;
but he will find in San Francisco an
abundance of half dimes, and he Ewiil
also find our dealers capable and will
ing to deal Justly in matters Of change.
Our Eastern friends are evidently labor
ing under mistake in this matter.
Some OF them seem TO think that they
can come here and get rich out of the
odd cents and half cents that our care
less people neglect to look after. whilo
others apparently fear to embark in
business among dealers who have no re-
gard for pennies and the fraction there
of. 4e3.t II
We will take this occasion to rcas-
sure our Eastern friends that if they
will come here as learners mot as mis-
sionaries they win soon find thatwoafe
able to give /" n reason for the faith that
is within us" in various matters, coin
included. -AHa.
