BIRTHDAY RHYMES.
by DIR. w. HAZELTINE.

INSCRIBED TO Miss NJ. Eva Myers, on her
eighteenth birthday, February 18th 1885,
All! maiden with the dark brown hair,
Think not alone thy joy to share.
They tell me that the eighteenth sun
Commenced to-day his annual round,
Since first thy altering steps begun
To tottlo o'er the ground,-
Since first thy tongue was tuned to bless the
ear
By lisping out the name to parents dear.
Though poor the gift, do not refuse
The motive that inspires my muse
To sing thy BIRTH for thus may
Be numb bet ed with the friendly host
Who celebrate thy natal day
On this strange mountain coast,
Where softer breeZes whisper their caresses,
And play, with daintier touch, among thy
tresses.
And may the day we celebrate
Be emblematic of thy fate.
AS cloudless, save with shadows rare
AS we would have thy future life,
When years shall bring their weight:)f care
To maiden or TO wife,
AS pure and spotless as our summer skies,
Rejecting lustre in thy girlish eyes.

A PrOfane "Reminiscences OF j. Ross
Browne

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.l
j. Ross Browne was once sent upon a
mission ''out West" by the Government,
TO investigate, among other things, the
character Of a certain improvement on
far-away stream which had absorbed
good deal of Government money, and
which the authorities at Washington
desired to have little light shed upon.
1t had been reported to Browne that a
mill stood upon dam near which he
was instructed to pursue his investiga-
tions, but never a mill could lie find.
The dam was there, to be sure, but the
mill had gone where the woodbine
twIueth. He accordingly informed the
Government in grave official report,
that he had arrived at his destination,
and had discovered the dam by a mill
site, bnt no mill by a dam site We have
never heard that the authorities called
the language of Mr.. Brownies report in
question. On the contrary, we can ina
gine that the solemn official mouth Of
the Government. when it came across
this passage in the report. widened into
a grin stretching from ear to ear, and
that the joker was rewarded for his
temerity in introducing a stray sunbeam
another mission and bigger pay.

able and characteristic bit of descrip-

curious account of a conversation by
pantomime between white men and In

number which may come under the head
of discovery. One of them j. concern

little known either in England or Amer

Why Franklin Used Simple Langu-
age

Tradition has it that years ago, when
Benjamin franklin was lad, he began
TO study philosophy, and soon became
fond of applying technical name to COM
mon objects. One evening when he
mentioned to his father that he had
swallowed some acephalous mollusks,
the old man was very much alarmed,
and suddenly seizing him, called loudly
for help. Mrs. Franklin came with warm
water, and the hired man rushed in with
the garden pump. They forced half
gallon down Benjamin throat, then
held him by the heels over the edge of
the porch and shook him, while the old
man said: ''If we don't get them things
out of Benny he will be pizened, sure"
When they were ont, and Benjamin ex-
planned that the articles allnded to were
oysters, his father fondled him for an
hour with trunk strap for soaring the
family. Ever afterward his language
was very simple and explicit.
