Tender Memories.

The following lines will touch sympa-
thetic chord in many hearts:
saw my wife pull out the bottom drawer
of the old bureau this evening, and went
softly out and wandered up and down until
l knew she had shut ii up snd gone to her
sewing. We have some things laid away in
that drawer which the gold of kings could
not buy, and yet they are relics which grieve
us until both our hearts are sore. haven't
dared look at them for year, but remem-
Der each article. These are two worn shoes,
q little chip hat with part of the brim gone,
some stockings, pants, coat. two or three
several toys. Wife, poor thing, goes to
that drawer every day Of her life, and prays
over it and let's her tears fall upon the
precious articles, but dare not 60. Some
times we speak of little Jack, but not often.
1t has been long time, but somehow we
can't get over grieving. Sometimes, when
we sit alone of an evening, writing and
she sewing, q child in the street will call
out as our boy used to, and We will both
start up with beating hearts and q
wild hope, only to find the darkness
more of . burden than ever. 1t is still
and quiet now. l look up to the window
where his blue eyes used to sparkle at my
coming, but he is not there. listen for his
patterlng feet, his merry shout, and his
ringing laugh; but there is no sound.
There is NO one to search my pockets and
tease me for presents. and never find the
chairs turned over, the broom down, or
ropes tied to the door-kn0bs. want some
one to tease me for my knife; to ride on my
shoulder; to lose my Ak; to follow me to
the gate when 60, and be there to meet
me when come; to call "good night"
from the little bed now empty. And wife
she misses him still more. Here are NO
teasing for Jumps of sugar, OF sobbipg with
the pain OF hurt toe; and she would give
her own life, almost, to awake at midnight
and look across to the crib and see our boy
there - he used 70 be. So we preserve our
relics, and when We are dead We hope that
strangers will handle them tenderly, even
If they shed NO tears over them.-R0cAester

80 feet Of foundation formed of the
compact bluestone Of the Potomac was
laid. the stone being first subjected to
tests in hydraulic press. This stone
was brought from the quarries in natural
masses Of three or four tons weight
These natural masses of the stone were
so fitted and doyetailed together as to be
stronger than any combination of squar-
ed stone could be made The cement
used was a well tested compound Of by
draulic cement aud stone cemknt Of sharp
sand and every crevice of the stone work
was filled with this cement aid grouted
forming a mass as solid as though the
whole foundation was a single stone. -
This was certainly the estimation in
which the foundation was held by build
ers at the time the monument was be-
gun. And the strong probability is that
the Board Of engineers will be satisfied
with it. SAXON.

More, not without care, not without
sorrow, not without suffering, untold,
yet chastened and beautifed by the
chastisement, till it became as near
TO the lite OF the angels as the AL
mighty has ever permitted to the
sons and daughters men. There is
an inexpressiblo sweetness in every
line of that noble face, it is in no sense
what the world calls beautiful, but
looking into those glorious eyes from
which the very reflex of the soul
shines ont. | felt that there was a
woman to trust in life or death. Near
it hangs picture by Turner, and if
there is one thing that makes me
more grateful to Turner, than another
1T ls tue fact that when he bequeath
ed his pictures to the Royal Accade-
my, it was on condition that a spe.
cial room should be set apart for
them. This | am delighted to know
was done, and when l visit the Royal
Academy shall certainly give that
room tho go-bye; Ruskin, to the con
trary, Notwithstanding | know the
travellers club will exclaim booby
that the conisueres will vote me an
lgnoramus, and the out critics write
me down an ass, l can't help it, don't
like Turner. And now for q little
bit of romance. About five weeks
ago a young man applied for a posi-.
ton as one of the rolling chair cons
ductors. He was dark mbloxioned
very handsome, with a long and
flowing mustache, his manners were
casey and graceful, he spoke several
languages with the fuency of native
and it was not long till his chair
was in constant demand. AS he
wheeled his fair loads along, he de-
scanted on passing objects with the
oyo of consuer, and tho acumen of
critic. Things wont on smoothly
for several weeks, the only thing pc
culiarly noticeable in tho rolling
chairman boing that he invariably re-
fused tho gratuites offered him by the
grateful patrons. One day last week
q young Russian princess had chair
called into the main hall, and not de-
lgning to cast look on tho humble
chairman, she stopped into tho seat
The chair rolled on till it reached the
Russian department, near tho grand
exhibition of Malakite, when the
Princess leaned forward to examine
a beautiful work box; the voil dropped
off which had partially concealed her
features. The chairman started for
ward and uttered cry which brought
tho Princess to her feet. She in turn
gave q scream recognizing, it is said, a
long lost lovor who had boon banished
to Siberia several years ago and had
escaped. All the parties havo dsap-
peared, the Russian commission refuse
to speak Of it. even tho people about
the Malckito exhibit deny that it
occurred, and it is whispered that the
chairman was nobloman of h. gh
rank, who was connected with one of
tho royal princes in stealing some
government jewols. Cool weather
has brought tho receipts up again. A
reduction has just been mado which
admits schools and teachers at twenty
five cents, and this with tho visits of
military companies aud organized
bodos, mako things look moro prospo>
rous than they havo for the last three
weeks.
Yours truly,
BRoADBRIM.
