Il Close Fl

The following instance Of youth
full eXactness comes to lis from Il
friend in bingham, Massachusetts
where it recently occurred:
An exhibition WAS given here
some two months since by Tom
Thumb, at which the prices were
twenty-five cents for those over ten
years Of age, and twelve and a half
for those under.
It was Johnny's tenth birthday,
and his cousin May, aged thirteen
thought it would be her duty to eel
ebrate it by taking him in the after
noon t. see the dwarf. Arriving at
the door she put down thirty-eight
cents, and asked for two tickets.
"lIow old u the boy?' asked the
ticket-Scller.
"Well,' replied Miss May, ''this is
his tenth birthday; b"t he cas not
born until late IN the afternoon -
The vendor Of tickets accepted the
accuracy of the avermcnt, and hand

mission. But it was close fit

many pieces of plate, was not alto
gether removed from the rndeness Of
manners Of the early SaXons. AT
first, two persons ate II ON one ''trench-
cr," rs it was called. There were no
plates, and these trenchcrs were made
to answer the purpose. They were,
in fact, large slices Of bread, placed
before each one Tor two), to accom-
modate the meat. There were two
qualities of bread. one fine, to be
eaten; the other, of the coarse, in
terior flour, was made INTO large
loavcs, then the outer crust was re-
moved and laid aside for the poor,
and the rest was cut into very thick
and substantial slices, and thus used
instead Of plates.
in the course Of time, some in@en-
ious person conceived the happy
idea OF having cal plates; the wealthy
furnished themselves with valuable
ones Of silver, sand eventually the
common people were provided with
such rs their circumstances admitted,
made of wood or pewter, and finally
earthemware came into use.
But in those days they were we'll
content with the primitive arrange
ment sof the trenchers. The bread
thus used akcd up the gravy, and
became quite sayory in consequence;
and when the meal was ended, each
one ate his plate, if he chose; other
wise, it was put into the alms-basket,
which was always kept ready, and
into which all the leavines were
gathered. and sent out to the poor
waiting at the gate. The poor were
never forgotten III those old Saxon
households.

How far. Lincoln EorEava Him.

From he Washington Chronicle.
An editor of Il weekly paper, pub
lished i'll Il little village in Missouri,
called at the White House, and was
admitted to Mr.. Lincoln's presence.
He told Mr.. Lincoln that he was the
man who first suggested his name
for the Presidency, and pulling from
his pocket an old, worn, detaced copy
Of his paper, exhibited an item Oh
the subject. "Do you really think,
said Mr.. lincoln, 'that announce
nent was the occasion Of my nomi-
nauon:" ''Ccrtainly,' said the editor
''the suggestion was so opportunc
that it WAS at once taken up by other
pa crs, ana the result WAS your nomi-
nation and election"
"Ah. well,' said Mr.. Lincoln, with
SIGH, and resuming a rather gloomy
countenancc, II am Glad to see You
and TO know this, but you will have
to excuse me, | am Just now going to
the war department to see Mr.. Stan
ton" Nv ell" said the editor, :!
will walk over with YOU" The Pres
ident, with that apt good nature so
characteristic Of him, took up his hat
and said, ''comc along"
When they reached the door Of the
Secretary's Office, Mr. Lincoln turned
to his companion and said, Il shall
have to see Mr.. Stanton alone, and
you must excuse me, and taking him
by the hand he continued, "Good-by:
/ hope yen will feel perfectly easy
about having nominated me; don't
be troubled about il; forgive YOU.

POST OF tem Recognition.

Editors Easy hair. Harper's Magazine .eg Feb'y
Ifpublic men could only die at the
beginning instead of the end Of their
careers, said a voice. gravely, how
much abuse they would be spared,
how much more decent the newSpa-
perS would be, and how undi>turbed
the conscicnceS Of editors. The re-
mark was suggested by the sudden
death of the Mayor Of New York.
For two Years he had sat in the chair
Of De Witt Clinton, lifted into it by
the desire OF reform, and how he was
belabored and ridiculed and opposed
by the press. It Dogberry had been
the municipal chiet, or if the testy
old Peter Stuyvesant had stepped
out Of the history of Dicdrich X lex
erbocker and moved visibly before
the eyes Of the city, he would not
have seemed very different from the
figure which the press gave Us of the
sturdy Mayor. One cold, windy
morning he WAS coming to town, and
the train was DELAYED. Eager to be
at his Office and to do his duty, the
Mayor walked against the chill blast
for three miles, and had scarcely
reached his desk when he sank upon
the floor and WAS dead. Then we
heard from the newspapers that i'll a
time Of suspicion and official knavery,
when even Mr.. Charles Francis Ad-
ans felt obliged to say Of Mr.. Sew lrd
in his eulogy that he lid not sell him
self, we heard that the Mayor was
perfectly pure-handed, that no breath
Of doubt ever furnished his integrity,
that AS merchant and man he was
absolutely honest, however whimsical
and wayward, and that if obstinate
and antiQuated, he was yet "A strong,
stalwart, upright magistrate and citi-
zen.
Certainly when conspicuous man
lies suddenly dead it is not the mo-
ment to rehearSe his defects, unless
he be a man whose character and
career are to serve rs warning and
not as :'n example. Nor, on the
other hand, while this is true, it is
necessary to insist tie mortais nh
,jSi bolv,n. Death is not a sponge
TO wipe away the memory of 4 bad
life. But shall we tell tn" truth only
Of dead men: The papers spoke
truly Of the Mayor, but it was a strain
ne was never permitted to hear. How
il ,ould have warmed his heart, had
he lived, to arise the next morning
and open the papers to read in them
such kindly words! He would not
have believed his eyes. He would
have suspected some glamour. But
as he saw that it was no trick of his
sprctacles, but was indeed true, how
happy he would have been, and with
what renewed zeal he would lave
undertaken his duties! Not to have
felt himself at bay, to be sure that
his sincerity was conceded, however
his acts might be criticised and re-
gretted, would have so chccred his
soul that those acts might very well
have been different \ soft answer,
saws old wisdom, turneth away wrath.
