He found large black snake coiled
up under that old sitting duck, the reptile
having swallowed the twelve eggs. He
beheaded the intruder, cut him open, re-
moved the eggs, restored them to the care
of the plucky bird, and in due season
eleven of the dozen Matched. The story
from comes Kentucky, and the Owen
Meas vouches for its truth.

Sewing ON BnttOns.

A fscetious contemporary, thus describes the
male process of sewing on buttons Ill ID bad
enough to see bachelor sew on button, but
he is the embodiment Of grace alongside OF mar
ried man. Necessity has compelled experience in
the case of the former. but the latter has al
ways depended upon some one else for the
vice, and. fortunately for the sake of society.
it is rarely that he is obliged TO resort TO the
needle himself. Sometimes the pstien. wife
scalds her right hand, or runs eiiyer into the
nail OF the index finger of that hand, and 1t is
then that the mau clutches the needle around
the neck, and, forgetting 10 tie knot IN the
thread commences to put on the button. IL is
always in the morning, and from five TO twenty
minutes after he is expected to be down the
street. He lays the button on the site OF It's pre-
cessor, and pushes the needle through one eye,
aud draws the thread through after, leaving
about three inches OF it sticking mp for leewaY.
He says't himself " Well, il women don't have
the easiest time ever see." Then he comes
back the other way aud gets the needle through
the cloth well enough, and ley. himself ont TO
find the eye, but In spite Of great deal OF jsb-
bing, the needle points persists in bucking
against the solid parts Of that but
ton, aud, finally, when he loses patience.
his fugerH catch the thread. and that
three inches lie had left to hold the
button slips through the ere in q tvinklirg and
the button rolls leisurely across the hoor he
picks it mp with single remark. out OF respect
FOR bis children, and makes another attempt 10
fasten it. This time when coming back with
the needle lie keeps both the thread and the
button from slipping by covering them with bis
thumb, and 1t ia out OF regarl for that part of
him that he feels around for the eye in very
careful and iudicious manner but eventually
losing his philosophy, az the search becomes
more and more hopeless. he falls TO jabbing
about in loose aud savage manner and IL is
just then the needle finds the opening and comes
up through the button and part way throns his
thumb with celebrity that no human ingenuity
can guard against. Then he laws down the
things with few familiar quotations. aud presses
the injured hand between his knees. ana then
holds it under bis arm, and finally jainbs it into
his mouth. and all the while he prsDces about
the foJr and calls upon Heaven and earth to WIT
ness that there has never been anything Ike it
since the world was created, and howlz, and
whistles. and means, and sobs. After while he
cslms down and puts on his pants, and fasten-
them together with n stick. and goes to biz place

po,,tic, on the New Reservoir.

Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Hyde, the
Superintendent Of the Water Works, was elected
with the explicit assurance, from himself and
friends, that he was Republican in polties,
there is strong suspicion in the public mind
that he prefers to have the company and assist
ance OF Democrats in the construction OF the new
reservoir This seems little odd, and we are
at loss to explain why it should be 30. 1t can
hardly be that the capacity forreseryoir building
is monopohzed by persons who vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, or that Republicans entirely do.
fcient in knowledge how to eIcayate a basin or
build q bank.
Referring not to the laborers employed-in
regard to whose politics, it msnifestly is net pro-
per to inquire-but to the gang bosses, clerks,
superntendents, and others placed in authority
over the laborers, it does seem to be
tho fact that Mr.. Hyde has employed
Democrats and discharged Republicans with
uniformity and regularity that can scarcely be
accidental. These officers, in our Judgment
ought to be Republicans-eyeryo one OF them
unless it be true that competent Repub-
cans were to be had for the places, but if Mr..
Hyde thought proper that some.of them should
be taken from each party, that deciaion, thongh
throwing serious doubt on the Republican con-
victions which he was represented to have, when
elected. might be yielded to. That it should 80
happen, however, that his subordinstes OF the
classes mentioned should be generally Demo
Gratis, and that he should discharge Republi-
cans and replace them with Democrats, aa it
seems he has done, compels us to this utter
Ance OF our surprise. There is no fairness in
that, Mr.. Hyde. II you arc not Republican, as
you said you were, you are in honor, at least
bound not to play into the hands OF the Demo.
Gratis.
The facts on which we proceed in making thi,
remonstrance are that, by the city ordinances
the employment, control, and oversight Of al
officers and men connected with the reservoir
are in the hands, entirely and completely, OF Dir
Hyde-and not, let us say here of the Chairman
of the Water Committee. Mr.. Hyde has now
gathered about him company OF officers and
subordinate bosses who, almost without an ex
ception, are Democrats. The Superintendent ot
the work, Mr. Wickersham the general adviser
and controller, Councilman McIntire the gang
bosses Of whom there are some twenty OF
twenty-five, probably the time.keepers, &c.
&C., are uniformly Of that political faith They
may be men of perfect honesty, and extreme
sobriety, persons whose moral character aud
personal bearing shed an effulgent beauty abroad
in the community, but their politics arc OF that
sort which, when put in action, il fatal to the
principles, policy and desires OF Re-
publicans. When the control OF the
reservoir passes into the ready hands ol
Councilman McIntire, those who know that gen.
tleman's statesmanlike abilities will look to zee
not only the reservoir e1cayated and it, bank.
erected, but also pipes laid and work set up, tc
the advantage OF that energetic gentleman
party, and not for the extension OF the city,

''Nce you bet it is Let me show you. Now
I'll lay the candy down here on the step, and
you all go down there and come mp when You
hear me call like rooster
The girls retreated and gathered in a group
about fifteen feet Off, while the boy got on his
knees, with his hand over the candy, and began
to call and strut and flap his arms like ro0st-
ers wings
"Cluck cuck, rat, tat, rap, clucb :" and all
the girls came running up and bent to pick up
the candy, when the little fellow opened hi1
mouth and took it in at one gulp.
"oh, you mean boy" they cried, lyon have
taken all our candy"
"That's cause / played rooster" said the
boy "a rooster always calls the hens up when

TIL HOM CIRCLE,
TIE HAND THAT ROCKS THE WORLD.
BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.

BY WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE.
Blessings on the hand of woman!
Angles guard her strength and grace
In the cottage, palace, hovel,
O! no matter where the place!
Would that never storms assailed it;
Rainbow5 ever gently curied;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Infancy the tender fountain;
Power may with beauty flow;
Mothers first to guide the streamlet,
From them souls unresting grow.
Grow on for the good or evil,
Sunshine streamed or darkness hurled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Woman, how divine your mission
Here upon our natal sod;
Keep, o keep the young heart open
Always to the breath of God!
An true trophies of the Ages
Are from Mother Love impaired;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
Blessings IN the hand of woman!
Fathers, sons and daughters cry,
And the sacred song is mingled
With the worship in the sky
Mingles where no tempest darkens,
Rainbows. evermore are curled;
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rocks the world.
