Gentlemen, rs a rule, never smoke 10 the
presence of ladies' without their consent, unless
they he Boston ladies, who. according to a
recent lecturer. are not insensible 10 the sooth-
ING influences Of nicotine, even when secured
in more vulgar manner than from the deli
cious cigarette or seductive Havana. But
a correspondent Of the Boston Gazette relates
the experience of lady returning on srail-
road train from New York, and rho had pur-
hased a SCAT in drawing room car, which
presents affairs in another light. Except her
self there were but two other occupants OF
the car Soon after the train bad started,
these two gentlemen ~ drew out their ele-
CANT cigar cases, aud one Of them lit his cigar
and the other vas preparing to do so, without
even al by your leave, madam" The lady,
however, did dot enjoy the odor of smoke,
aud did not hesitate to inform the party OF
the fact. and to refer them to the smoking car
a. The forward end Of the train. They de-
ciued to 60 into the smoking car, but removed
the obnoxious weeds with an ungracious air.
The conductor coming in soon after, a whis-
pered colloquy took place between him and
the gentlemen, which resulted in his request
ing the lady to take q scat in another car.
This she declined doing, as her bundles were
al comfortably disposed about her. As the
train advanced from point to point, numer-
ous persons came into the car and addressed
the would-be smoker as " Mr. President.
Even with this, the anti-tobacconist did not
comprehend that she was entertaining an angel
unawares, aud il was only when some one lot
drop the mystic word Grant" that she rea-
lzed the situation. Then somewhat provoked,
but still amused, she summoned the conductor
and very gladly removed TO another compari-
ment. where the air was purer and the com
psny more to her taste Courier Journal

A MEMORIAL ODE.
JEAN sAsDs.
May 2s, 1875.

Why wake the silent air
That canopies our dead.
With mournful dirge and solemn prayer,
With tribute words, though sweet and rare,
And a whole city's tread?
WHY on their dreamless sleep,
Shall waking life intrude?
Its task is now to work not weep;
LIS Present. SOW its Future, reap
Not DER the Past TO brood!
or what avail the wreath
That circles grave and stone
They reck it not, who sleep beneath;
Their work accomplished, they bequeath
The Lesson of our own!
They ask no sigh or tear,
Nor grateful praise, nor VOW;
Our hymn falls voiceless on their ear,
our PRAYER they need not God should hear,
For they are with him now
Why then, with solemn rite.
Which cannot cheer their dust,
Bid Labor pause in nerds despite
That hearts may keep their names more bright
Than storied urn or bust!
Oh. not that bitter days
Nav never lose their sting
All, not that vengeful fires may blaze
through all our wears DER all our ways
The martyred dead we sing
We feed no torch of Hate;
We stem no tide OF Love;
We turn no stubborn heart to fa,ei
We bring no viii unconsecrate
To Him who rules above
We but our strength renew
For needlul toll and care,
when thus with flowers these graves we strew,
And thus with tears this sod bedcw,
And lilt our hands in prayer.
Not for the Dead we come
Theirs is the better part;
They need no laurels on their tomb,
But we-as they the beat of drum,
Must follow beat Of Heart.
From out their voiceless rest
With better words than speech
They bid US meet the sorer test
OF natient Trust at Gods behest,
And ne'er our lot timpeach
They graudly fell to saTei
We stand, when all is lost
But Honorl Where its signals wave,
BE we-as they were-strong and brave,
Each steadiast on his post
Woe. woe the land betide
Where Virtue sleeps unblessed,
And where the life o. those who died.
Its heroes-lives not, tar and wide,
On other lives impressed

Queer.

What astonshes the Philadelphia LqnireT
is ,ha, as the Presidential election approaches
50 many statesmen fnd Southern tour abso-
lutely essential to their health. Another queer
thing, it says, is the accuracy with which the
dates of the arrival Of these travellers at Ger
tain places is known 10 advance and the spon-
taueous manner in which serenades and recep-
tons spring up to greet them. "ltIS just pos
sible." continues the hquirer, that Vice
President Wilson is not ambitious to be our
ext President, but he is now making the
grand Southern tour, and he is also making
some admirable speeches expressive OF the
warmest admiration cf his Southern brethren.
Il would not surprise lis if the name OF the
Vice President should be mentioned 1t year
among those Of the crowd Of aspiring candi-
dates by some enthusiastic Southern delegate.
But il is little carly yet to be sanguine about
who will get the endorsement Of the South"
