GATHERINGS BY THE wAYsIDE.

A candidate for office in Mississippi
made known his determination to run
by the following card: Z" At the ear
nest solicitation of my wife and child
rem, I have consented to become can
didate for County Treasurer"
The lanterns were hung out in the
tower of the old North Church in Bos-
ton on the evening of the 18th ult., by
Robert Newman, son of the sexton of
the church who performed the same duty
a hundred years ago, when the British
took up their line of march. The grand
son and great grandson of Paul Revere
were also present.
The variety of kisses introduced in
the Beecher business is calculated to
amaze people who do their kissing
without analyses. There have been,
so far, the paroxysmal kiss, the inspi-
rational kiss, and the holy kiss, the
kiss of reconciliation, the impulsive
kiss, the enthusiastic kiss, the kiss OF
grace, mercy and peace, and the kiss
mutual.
They call it pistolet, and it is a
fan that will be worn great deal this
Summer; shaped very much like a pis-
tol when closed, it opens very sharply
upon the pressure of trigger. 1t is
worn in the belt, and in connection
with the other innumerable things that
lovely women ties around her waist and
hangs to her belt now, will tend to
make her look more than ever like a
walking junk shop.
Sam. Bowles, ef the Springfield Re-
publican, thinks that " Mr.. Washburne,
being wiser politician in his genera
ton than Mr.. Blaine, gives out that he
is merely spectator. II the other can
didates have any sort of gumption they
will keep sharper eye on Uncle Elihu

DICKS WATCH.

Dear little Dick, curled up by the fire,
Set watching the shadows come and go,
AS the dancing flames leaped higher and
higher,
Flooding the room with mellow glow.
His chubby hand on his side was pressed,
And he turned for a moment listening
ear;
Mother" cried he, I've got a watch
] can feel it ticking right under herep
eyes, Dick, It's a watch that God has made
To mark your hours as they fly away
He holds the key in his migty hand,
And he keeps it in order night and day.
SHOULD he put aside the mystic key.
Or iay his hand on the tiny spring.
The wheels would stop and your watch run
down,
And lie in your bosom lifeless thing"
He crept to my side and whispered soft,
While his baby voice had an awe-struck
sound,
"I wish YOU would ask him, mother dear,
To be sure and remember to Keep tooutd"

THE WHISTLE.

"You have heard" said youth, to his sweet
heart, who stood,
While he sat on acorn-sheaf, at daylight's
Decline
"You have heard of the Danish boys whistle
of wood?
I wish that Danish boys whistle were
mine."
"And what would you do with it2-tell me, I"
she said
While an arch smile played over her beauti-
"I would blow 1.-THE answered; "and then
my fair maid
Would fly to my side' and would here take
that all you wish for 2--That may be yours
ga favor so slight ones good nature secures;"
And she playfully seated herself by his
side.
"and the charm
Would work so, that not even Modesty's
check
Would be able too keep from my neck your
fine arm :"
She smiled,-and she laid her fine arm
round his neck
Yet once more would blow, and the music
divine
Would bring me the third time an exquisite
bliss
You would lay your fair check to this brown
one of mine,
And your lips stealing past it, would give
me kiss"
The maiden laughed out in her innocent glee,-
what fool of yourself with your whistle
you'd make
For only consider, how silly 'twould BE- o,,

Making the best of Everything.

The home of Mr.. Clayton and his
two children was small, wood-col-
ored house, standing back from the
road, on an eminence that sloped down
to the brook which murmured through
the orchard and meadows.
1t was fine location and with good
management and taste it might have
been charming place; but an air of
unthrift and discomfort prevaded ev-
erything; and this was even more ap-
parent indoors than out.
The room where the family were now
at breakfast wore most cheerless as
pect, in spite of the sunlight that came
in through the high, narrow windows.
TIE paper on the wall was dingy and
soiled, so that it was almost impossible
to tell what was its original color and
pattern. The SCOT had fallen down in
the broad fireplace, which was with
out fre-board. The floor was Uttered
and untidy. The buttery door was
open, revealed a medley that beggars
description. The table-cloth was much
soiled, and the table was set with sew
eral kinds of dishes, and spread with
the plainest fare; fried pork, boiled po-
tatoes "with their jackets on" and
bread and butter.
Mr.. Clayton and Joe wore their work
ing clothes. (blue shirts and overalls),
and Nellie's dress was soiled and torn,
and her hair was uncombed and careless
ly tucked behind her ears.
Father" she said, as she poured
the coffee, you know Emily is coming
to-day, and 1 hardly know what to do.
1 wish" she added, glancing around,
"that we could live nicer; / wish we had
a carpet and some better chairs. ]
remember how pleasant it seemed at
aunt Mary's when was there. They
had nice carpets and pictures, and a
great many things We haven't got; and
dread Emily's coming so."
"Well, my daughter said Mr.. Clay
ton, 9" I wish was able to have things
different, but you must make the best
of it. If you want any groceries, Joe
can get them for you when he comes
from the field"
81 wouldn't care if / werc in your
place, sis, said Joe. "For my part I
don't believe / shall like hear at all.
suppose she is proud and disagreeable,
because she's been off to school, and all
that; but I don't mean to mind any
thing about her."
"Don't judge your cousin before you
see her." said Mr.. Clayton, you may
like her after all"
Nellie Clayton had been her fathers
housekeeper about two years. She was
q plump little creature of fifteen, and
would have been pretty, If she had TAX.
en- any pains with her person. But
her wavy brown hair was generally
twisted into careless knot behind, and
her dresses, which she made herself,
were usually scant and ill-ftting.
Indeed, poor Nellie was almost dis.
couraged; and, when prayers were over
and her father and brother had gone,
J she sat down in the doorway and cried.

after this than ever. To borrow q

Some young men OF Santa Clara have
organized a Reform Club. Every mem
ber must pledge himself ".to hold in
due respect all females, until such time
as we may becomeassured by proof posi-
tive that they are no longer worthy of
it. This is indeed a great reform, and
tits q pity that al young men do not
AXE and keep sucha pledge. The com
mon habit Of defafning women and
girls is cause of widespread demoral-
iZation. .lr.l y. ssetl

with ground glass shade, and placed
it ON the mat of bright worsted, which
she had brought TO Nellie, saying,
s Tallow candles are detestable, and I
think good light makes room look
so cheerful. One thing more" she
said, 'and then call uncle TO see the
result of our labors;" and she produced
beautiful steel engraving in q gilt
frame, which was soon hung in favor
able place, while Nellie ran to call her
father. sa ~
As Mr.. Clayton entered Che light,
pleasant room, the change Secned4o.
him greater than it really was; and he
stood silent, while Nellie and Joe both
uttered ordinations of delight and
satisfaction. "I never should have
thought about it, if it hadn't been for
Emily" said Nellie; "and it was all
done SO easy, too. 1t don't seem like
the same room; does it, father?'
"No, my child" he answered; then
turning to Emily he continued, "My
dear Emily, you have taught us all q
lesson which will be invaluable through
life." Emily had sent Mr.. Clayton the
newspaper during the summer, and he
had already begun to profit by it SO
much that he determined to subscribe
for it himself.
Nellie's wardrobe was comfortably
though plainly furnished, and she had
quite little sum left.
They had made slippers for Mr..
Clayton and Joe from some pieces of
broadcloth, sewing on the blue orange
from pattern in Emily's magazine;
and Joe, at her suggestion, had pro-
cured the soles and sewed them on.
The evening before Emily was to
leave them, Nellie put on the dress of
soft, bright merino, which they had just
finished, but which was the most ex-
pensive article she had purchased. Her
brown curls fell in graceful profusion
about her face and neck, her cheeks
were flushed, and her dark eyes spark
led with pleasure.
My darling little co., said Emily,
" do you know you are very pretty? I
would not tell you SO, if I did not think
you had too much good sense to be
vain"
And so, with new incentives to exer-
ton, the winter was passed rapidly
away at Clayton farm.
One evening as Nell was pouring over
her algebra, Joe said, g. I believe I must
study harder, Nell; for you are really
getting ahead of me, and you know I
am going to be scientific farmer. l
can make this place great deal more
profitable than it has been. Next sum-
mer we'll have such nice garden, with
strawberries like I saw at Mr.. Lees"
1t was even as Joe had said. The
march of improvement went steadily
on.
" There is something in theory, but
more in practice and experience" she
remarked to Joe, the next Summer, as
they were discussing their progress.
The next Fall, when Nellie returned
from q visit to Emily, she was agreeably
surprised to find the house painted
white, and the windows cut down TO, the
floor, with green blinds.
Time passed. Nellie went to Rock
land. But her plan of teaching was de-
feated, for on her return from school,
Mr.. Clayton would not consent to part
with her again, until Joe brought home
Minnie Lee, his fair young pride. Soon
after the eloquen nee of Fred Gray, now
a rising young lawyer, persuaded Nellie
to leave the old homestead and grace
his city mansion.

JusT WHAT HE SAYS. "A writer in, the
st. Paul Press tells new story OF Hor-
ace Greeley. Horace wrote note to q
brother editor in New York, whose
writing was equally illegible with his
own. The recipient of the note not
being able to read it, sentit back by the
same messenger to Mr.. Greeley for elu-
cidation. Snpposing it to be the answer
to his note, Mr.. Greeley looked over it,
but likewise was unable to read it, and
said to the boy: Go take it back.
