espied a French label in the crown
and q French motto besides (!)
Getting the latter by heart, Henry
poised himself, when his turn came
and after making a brief allusion,
to his adversary's emphasis as to
their patriotic duty to support,
not French but American manu-
features, he slung Andrews beav-
er among the crowd, at the same
moment repeating the patriotic
French motto with the inimitable
sang troid, for which he was so
noted, and leering at Andrew mos
quizically as he give it the sling.
'There you have, my friends"
said he, "a fitting illustration of
the Wing orators in general and
of my friend Hunter in particular,
and OF the consistency betwe9n
their practice with their preach
ing Here we have one of the
ablest advocates ofAmerican man
ufacturers and the necessity of a
high tariff for their protection,
with an expensive French beaver
on his own head"
AS it may be supposed, a roar of
laughter followed this sally. Hun
ter begged the crowd to save his
hat. And it was saved, though
rather the worse as to the lay of
the fur-for they were actual
beavers" in those days-but this
argument was past saving "intire-
ly." 1t had gone up, with his
French hat, never to return 10
him, except to plague its inventor,
as the hat did, safe and sound.
Subsequently, William G. Rives,
who was one OF the most logical
of Virginia statemen of the earlier
time, hearing that he was TO meet
Henry Bedinger. whom he had
never encountered before, Inquired
of Andrew Hunton, "what sort OF
a speaker" his expected antago-
mist was, received this laconic re-
spouse "AU sorts ola speaker, /
can assure you from experience =
The phrase was not an inapt
one. If there ever was stumpei
armed at all points with ready ar
guments and inimitable witiciSms
Henry Bedinger was he-and all
this, although he did fail in his
overdone '.spread eagle speech"
aforesaid. and as lecturer, as l had
occasion to note in a former chap
ter.
By way of postcript,I shall have
to enter my protest against the
youthful typsetters whose takes"
happened to embrace portions of
my last Renaissance. / was some
what made to call the p. E. Domi-
ME, who taught my young ideas
how to shoot at Charlestown, a
"Dominic," whatever that may be,
and my quotation from Shake
speare as to a "belly with cdpOns
lined" was so lUdicrously mis-
printed as to make me become the
most extravagant 'inflationist'
imaginable, even to lining Par
son jones' belly with coupons.
The boy who perpetrated that
printers blunder bids fair to be-
come a success in that line, If he
goes on as he has begun.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.
BY ELIZA COOK.

IT'S we'll to WOO, It's we'll to wed,
For so the world hath done
Since myrtle grew and roses blew,
- And morning brought the sun.
But have care, ye young and fair,
Be sure We pledge with truth
Be certain that your love will wear,
Beyond the days Of youth !
For if you give not heart for heart,
As well as hand for hand
You'll find you've played the unwise
part,
And "built upon the sand.,'
IT'S well to save, tits we'll to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold.
Bat place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone
Will often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
IT'S "built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can;
Fair speech should bind the human
mind,
And love link man to man.
But step not at the gentle words,
Let deeds with anguish dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should ccatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those that talk, yet fail to do,
But ''build upon the sapd."
