THE END OF 4 QUARREL.

Two DEAR little sparrows went flying about,
In terrible hurry, there wasn't doubt,
For says he, and says she, we must certainly roam
Some distance before we decide on home.
Some birds fancied this, and some birds fsnoiet
that
And some were contented with just "Frenct
fiat"
Right under the eaves but says he, and says she
There is nothing so cozy and nice rs tree.
But they were behindhand in seeking nest
And earlier comers had chosen the best,
And says he and says she, it is queer, l declare,
That for two little birds there are no rooms tc
spare.
Now this way and that; now high and now low,
Through the soft balmy air did the wanderers go
Till at last they beheld nice house; and said he
1T is lust what we're looking for-under treeN
Says she, II am weary and longing for rest,
But never will live in so shabby nest
The rooms are too small and far worse than all
that,
IT'S rather too handy, think, for the cat!'
you're foolish, and full of queer notions," said
As they paused for a chat on branch Of the tree
wen find nothing better, though farther we
roam,
And you know we've not seen so inviting home. =
More stubbornly he, and more sptefully she,
Continued the QUAR- i; they wouldn't agree;
And party, whose hearing is very acute,
Thought how he might settle the angry dispute.
Chip chip, chip, chip, chip still the contest arose
Beginning with words, it soon ended in blows,
And neither looked into the garden where sat
A hungry, impatient and confident cat
The end of the quarrel came shortly to pass
When bird tumbled suddenly into the grass.
What happened? what happened, my dears, after
that:
Perhaps you had better inquire Of the cat!

ter from the Emperor of Russia to
President Grant:
Mr.. PRESIDENT: At the moment when the
people of the United States celebrate the
Centennial period Of their National exist
ence, l desire to express to you the senti-
ments with which take part in this celebra-
ton. The people of the United States may
contemplate with pride the immense pro-
gress which their energy has achieved with
in the period of century.
especially rejoice that, during this Cen
tennial period, the friendly relations of our
respective countries have never suffered in
terruption; but, on the contrary, have made
themselves manifest by proofs of mutual
good will. I, therefore, congratulate the
American people in the person of their Pres
dent, and pray that the friendship of the
two countries may increase with their pros
perity. l embrace this occasion to offer you
at the same time the assurance of my sin

for myself. Call at my office in the
city some morning next week. Good
night. a merry Christmas.
He was gone. 1t seems like dream.
We could scarcely believe that we had
not been dreaming. However, there
was the package, and the silver, to the
amount of five pounds. The children
had heard the unusual commotion, and
there they were in their night-gowns-
bless their little hearts-helping to un-
do the package. While this was being
done their delight, and, indeed, ours,
knew no bounds. There were warm
shawls, winter blankets, stuffs for
gowns, toys of all sorts, and some
books with beautiful pictures.
You may be sure we had good din
ner on Christmas day. This time my
mate was not invited. l did not like
to hurt his feelings by parading my
good fortune, and, besides, his failing
for drink was getting worse every day.
So We had very happy, quiet time,
and our hearts went up in gratitude
and thankfulness for the good that we
enjoyed.
A few mornings afterward / called,
by leave of my employer, at the office
of Mr. Holdhard. There he seemed
just as hard and stern as | had previous
ly found him. He asked me a few
short sharp questions, and at length it
was settled that | should enter his en-
and on very good terms too.
He had, he said, very large business,
and he had an opening for trustwor-
thy man. He thought | would suit,
and he hoped it would be to the benefit
of both.
Without more words | entered his

whether the story was worth telling.

gather Il lesson from it, and that is, that
it is quite easy for an honest man to
make mistake, but that it is also pos
sible to make things come right if you
have the will and the courage to face
your difficulties.

BELL.
HOW THE BELL RANG, JULY 4, 1776.

now THE BELL RANG, JULY 4, 1776.
THERE was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people,
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at the corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With their earnestness of speech.
As the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the State House,
So they surged against it's door;
And the mingling of their voices
Made harmony profound
Till the quiet street of Chestnut
Was all turbulent with sound
Will they do its'' - Dare they do t?''
Who is speakinggn What's the news 2

90! God grant they won't refuser'
Make some way there!' LET me nearerl'

When a Nations life's at hazard
We've no time to think of men,"
So they beat against the portal
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the crowd looked down and smiled.
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain
Now beheld the Soul of Freedom,
Al. unconquered, rise again!
they beat against the portal,
While all solemnly, inside,
The elegates to Congress,
With but reason for their guide,
'er simple scroll debated,
Which, though simple it might be,
ould shake the-cliffs of England
With the thunder of the Freel
At he portal of the State House,
Like some beacon in storm.
Round which waves are wildly beating,
Stood slender boyish form,
With his eyes fixed on the steeple
And his ears agape with greed,
To catch tine first announcement
Or the signing of the deed.
Far aloft in that high steeplc
Sat the bellman. old and gray,
He was weary of the tyrant,
And his iron-sceptred sway;
So he sat, with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell,
When his eye could catch the signal,
The happy news to tell,

Sudden Death of fPresident RGss.
of Franklin College.

President A. F. Ross, of Franklin College,
New Athens. was found dead in his bed on
Tuesday morning last. When he retired the
previous evening, he was apparently in usual
heath, but in the morning he remained in his
room longer than usual, when some of his
family went to awaken him, and found him
as stated. 1t is supposed that he died from
heart disease. DIR. Ross was over sixty years
of age He was not only man of ripe years
but of ripe scholarship, and in all those attain
ments which it takes to develop high order
of manhood. He was profound scholar, and
almost his entire life has been devoted to the
advancement of knowledge. Our impression
is that he was born in Cumberland Valley, in
the eastern part of Pennsylvania, and that hi
received his education at the institution oi
which he was. the honored head. In about the
year 1s45 he accepted the chair of Mathemat
| les, and subsequently that of Ancient Ian
guages in Bethany College, remaining in thai
institution for about thirteen years. After
wards he was connected with the College al
West Liberty. He was a member of the
Convention that formed the Constitution ot
West Virginia. After this time the Doctor
was connected with an educational institution
in some of the Western States, and about
three years since was elected to the Presiden
! cy of Franklin College, since which time he
has arduously labored to resuscitate this once
renowned temple of learning. Franklin Col
lege has lost her best friend, the community q
christian gentleman, and the world man Of
profound erudition.

The Board of Directors of the Wheeling &
lance, on Wednesday of last week, and with
but two dissenting voices determined to adopt
the narrow-gauge system. A special trip was
made over the Youngstown & Painesville
Narow-Gauge, to the satisfaction of the en-
tire party. Measures were adopted placing
power in the hands of an Executive Commit
tee to receive bids for the construction of the
entire line. 1t is understood that contractor
Mckee has submitted a proposition for con-
structing the entire line from Wheeling to To-
ledo, within two and one-half years, and that
he is backed by English capitalists. Now, let
the work be pushed vigorously forward TO
completion.

A YOUNG MAN from Hendrysburgh one day
last week, purchased four rubber balls at the
store of Mr.. George Brown. He was toe
modest to pay for them, and walked out. The
good-natured proprietor did not like to con-
fuse his customer by insisting on the change,
and permitted him to walk out with the balls,
but little later discovered that his hat was
also following the balls. His good customer
had worn it out just over or under his own.
This was too much; It ceased to be funny
Mr. Browns Irish gradually swelled, and in a
moment more he overlook his man, pulled
his hats asunder, and reached forth his own,
and mildly requested the genteel young man
to deposit therein all the missing balls. He
disgorged, and as Mr.. B. walked away, told
him to take his departure to that brimstone
country, where balls snd bats are no object,
or words to that effect. Brown didn't go-he
thinks his customer may get there first.
