Slowly the gorgeous hues become fainter,

one day the less to endure suffering, both

"THE OLD OAXEY BUCKET

The popular song of 1.-The Old Oaken
Bucket is said to have its origin under the
following circumstances, which give it addi-
tional interest:
Some years ago, when Woodworth, a
printer, and several others, cold New
Workers." We're brother typos in q printing
office which was situated at the corner of
Chatham and Chambers streets, there were
few places in the city of New York where
one could enjoy the luxury of a really
"good drink" Among the few places most
worthy of patronage was an establishment
kept by Mallory, in Franklin street, on
about the same spot where st. Johns Hall
recently stood. Woodwork, in company
with several particular friends, had dropped
In at this place one afternoon for the pur-
pose of taking some = brandy and WATER"
which Mallory was famous for keeping. The
liquor was su~per-excellent, and Woodwork
seemed inspired by it, for, after taking a
draught, he laid his glass upon the table.
and smacking his lips. declared that NAL
lory's eau de uie was superior 70 any he had
ever tasted. Mo-" said Mallory, "you are
quite mistaken; there was one thing which,
in both our estimations, far surpasses this in
the way of drinking" What was that?"
asked Woodwork obviously. 1.-THE
draught Of pure, fresh spring water we used
to drink from the old oaken bucket that
hung in the well, after our return from the
labors of the field on Il sultry day in sum
mer.' The tear-drops glistened for a mo-
ment in Woodworth's eyes. "True! true !"
he replied, and soon quilted the place. He
returned to the office, grasped the pen, and
In half an hour, "The Old Oaken Bucket"
one of the most delightful compositions in
our language, was ready in the manuscript
to be embalmed in the memory of succeed
ing generations .-Erchange,

THE coNoUoaERs OF TIE WORLD.

The aim Of Genghis was literally the con-
quest of the world-as he conceived it-and
was nearer its accomplishment in his own
life, and in that of his two descendants, Kub-
lai and Timur, than it had ever been before,
or is likely to be again. The empire which
he created counted within its limits probably
one-half of the whole human race, and eX-
tended from the sea of Okotsk, at the north
eastern extremity OF Asia, over the whole
breadth of the continent as far as the Black
Sea-, Insane as such ambition seems, thrust
have its source in some perennial springs of
action common to our nature, since it con-
stantly reappers with Il certain p%eriodicity
in successive ages-fortunately far apart
and in races still more widely separated by
photographic characters and surrounding
conditions. Assyrian, Babylonian and Per-
sian, Greek, Roman and French have each
in turn sent forth heroes on this quest for
universal empire. With the Romans alone.
it became the insanity or ambition of a peo-
pie, who for successive ages sought to be
the rulers of he world, and actually found
ed an imperial sway over Europe from the
Rhine to the Danube, and in Asia and Africa.
nearly as far as Alexander had penetrated
on either continent. The whole of Asia and
Eastern Europe had not, however, been I'M
der the scepter of a single ruler until Timur
swooped from his Mongolian steppes, the
heir of the first Greal Mogul, and camped
in the heart Of Hungary and Poland with a
mixed multitude of tribes and nations for
his army.-Fortnightly Reriew.

JAPANESE LEGEND.-A certain white fox
Of high degree, and without a black hair up.
on him, sought and obtained the hand of a
young female fox who was renowned for
her personal beauty and her noble onnec
tons. The wedding was to be a grand a-
fair but, unhappily, the families of the be-
trotlled pair could not agree upon the kind
of weather to be ordered for the occasion.
The parents Of the bride thought it good
luck that a shower should fall on the bridal
procession. The bridegroom and his friends
objected to having their good clothes spoiled
thus, and to the damper which a rain would
put upon their merriment. There. was dan
ger that the match would be broken off.
when a very astute old fox suggested a COM
promise. They might have sunshine and
rain together. This happy thought was re-
ceived with acclamations, and the order was
given accordingly; the brides palanquin or
mormon was borne to the house of her future
husband with blissful satisfaction on all
sides. In Japan, a s%un-shower is called

THE 10 NJ T CIRCLE.
TODAY.

Why cannot we gather the blessings
Of life as we journey along;
Its gladness, its fragrance, its beauty,
Its sunshine, its summer, it's song?
Why dlmpea the joys that now brighten
BY Il doubt what the future may bring?
Why tarnish young love in his splendor,
With fears lest the god may take wing?
Why with thoughts of chilly December
O'ershadow the blossomy spring:
will gather and bear in my bosom
The rose, though it fade in a day;
Inhale the sweet breath of the lily
Ere it withers and falls to decay.
And friendship and love though they perish
While they linger shall warm me like wine:
AS pearls will string every dew-drop
OF blessing, nor vainly repine.
Why dim glad to-day with tomorrow?
Tomorrow may never by mine!

Two BRILLIANT EDIToRs.-whe following
anecdote of Chief Just;c Chase is told by the
Toledo Commercial "Soon after Chief
Justic Chase assumed the gubernatorial chair
in Ohio he issuedhis proclamation appointing
q Thanksgiving day. Tomake sure of being
orthodox, the Governor composed his proc
lamation almost entirely Of passages from
the bible, which he did not designate as
quotations, presuming that every one would
recognize them and admire the fitness of the
words as well as his taste in their selection.
The proclamation meeting the eye of Dem
ocratic editor, he pounced at once upon it,
and declared that he had read it before
couldn't say where-but he would take his
oath that it wasa downright plagiarism from
beginning to end. That would have been a
pretty fair joke; but the next day a Republi-
can editor came out %valiantly in defence of
the Governor, pronounced the charge libel
GUS, and challenged any man living to pro-
duce one single line of the proclamation that
had appeared d in print before.

Of correct speaking and to abandon as early as

He has merely to use the language Which he

phrases in his memory and habituate himself

DEAR JACK: Your item concerning
Cows Teeth" reminds me Of an incident
which occurred in an adjoining town.
A city gentleman who had just purchased
a farm in the country, wished to buy some
cattle with which to stock it. He therefore
attended an auction where COWS were to be
sold. One OF them, a remarkably fine ami
NAL, soon attracted lis attention, and he
bought her at a fair price. lie was examin-
ing his purchase, when Il farmer, who unfor-
ttnately had arrived too late to buy the cow
for himself, as he had. intended, drove up
and thus accosted him:
II say, friend, did you bid off that cow"
Il did," was the reply.
"Well, did you know thatshe had no front
teeth in the upper jaw"'
NO." replied the gentleman Indignantly.
"Is that so %
You can see for yourself"
The gentleman examined the mouth OF
the COW, and finding no upper teeth, imme-
diately went to the auctioneer and requested
him to sell the COW again.
What's the trouble?', asked the auction
eer.
"she hasn't any upper front teeth" was
the reply.
Every well," replied the auctioneer with
a smile, "Tl put her up once more"
He did so, and the shrewd farmer who had
given the information to the city gentleman,
bid her off at the same price.-&, Nicholas,

WHERE THE FAULT LIEs.-Men are more
liberal and Just than women, but they very
rarely take a woman for a wife unless they
believe her to be as chaste as ice and pure as
snow. Their sense of purity in respect to
the woman they marryi is exquisitely delicate.
They are not satisfied with the natural purity
and goodness of the woman but her good
name must be above reproach. If women
were as careful in choosing their husbands,
we think there would be fewer marriages,
or else a wonderful reformation would be
begun. 1t is presumed that the coming
woman will order these things differently.
