THE GRASSHoPPER.

Happy insect, what can be
In happiness compared to thee?
Fed with nourishment divine,
The dewy mornings gentle winel
Nature waits upon thee still,
And thy verdant cup doesfll:
It is filled wherever thou dost tread,
Nature self's thy Ganymede.
Thou dost drink, and dance, and sing,
Happier than the happiest king!
All the fields which thou dost see,
All the plants belong to thee;
All that SIMMER hours produce,
Fertile made with early juice,
Man for thee does SOW and plow;
Farmer he, and landlord thou
Thou dost innocently enjoy;
Nor does thy luxury destroy.
The shepherd gladly heareth thee,
More harmonious than he.
Thee country kinds with gladness hear,
Prophet of the ripened year
Thee Phebus loves, and does inspire;
Phabus is himself thy sire.
To thee, of all things upon earth,
Life is no longer than thy mirth.
Happy insect happy thou,
Dost neither age nor winter know.
But when thou'st drunk, and danced, and sun:
Thy fill, the fowery leaves among,
(Voluptuous and wise withal, -.-.
Epicurean animal y
Satiated with thy summer feast.
Thou rct1rest to endless rest.
-Co2Uiey.

The President has been during his whole
administration very careful ON one point.
He has never travelled out of the boanda-
ries of the United States. During his
visits to Niagara Falls he has even refused
to cross to the Clifton House. When vis-
iting q friend at Thousand Islands, he
would nos cross to the Canada shore.
When, in 1871, he was present at the
opening Of the European and North AMER
lean Railroad he stopped at Vanceborough,
near the Canada line. He carefully refused
TO cross even the little river st. Croix, which
forms the boundary line there. Sofar as
| is now remembered here, there is but one
| instance of President Of the United States
going into q foreign country. Mr.. Van
Bnren went to Kingston, in Canada, 10
/ 1880, and he was much criticised for his
journey at the time.N. :. Herald.

The Imperial Jewels of Russia.

St. Petersburg Correspondence s. F. Chronicle.
The last room visited was in the upper
story, and contained the Imperial jewels, a
wonderful, rare, and extensive collection
they vera guarded by two armed soldiers
and two keepers. They are arranged in
showcases, on tables, extending half way
around the room. In the first compart-
ment were mostly diamonds, among which
was diamond necklace, whose value, we
are told, is so great that I actually dislike
to repeat it, and will only say that it was
several millions of dollars. It is q circlet
of twenty-five large diamonds, with fifteen
pendants, each precious jewel. Here are
also Jewels, arranged in the form of trlm-
mings, ready to be applied to dresses,
shoes, head-dresses, etc. In the second
case was large collection of black dia-
monds, to be worn as eourt-mourning,
emeralds, pearls, diamonds, and an assign
ment of fans to match whatever jewels
might be selected for wear. In the third
compartment the assortment was more
mixed, consisting of almost every jewel
known, ssapphires, rubies, garnets, opals,
etc., but few diamonds. In the center of
the room stand two glass cases, one con-
tanning the Emperor's crown, scepter, and
the globe he holds in his hand the ether
containing the crown Of the Empress. The
scepter is surmounted by the largest dia-
mond in Europe, and one of the most
beautiful It weighs over eight karats
more than the English Kohinoor weighed
before it was cut, but its color is less pure.
It is known in England as the Efingham
diamond. and here as the Orloff diamond,
from it's having been presented to the En-
press Catherine the Great by the famous
Count Orloff. Its owner, one Lazaref,
had previously offered it for sale to the
Empress, who would not consent to his
terms. The history of the diamond has
been remarkable, but it is not accurately
known. It was most probably the eye Of
an idol in q temple of Seringham, in East
India, Sheringham having become Efing.

THE CARELESS WORD.

Twas but word, careless word,
As thistle-down it seemed as light
1t paused moment in the air,
Then onward winged it's fight.
Another lip caught up the word.
And breathed it with hearty speer;
1t gathered weight as on it sped,
That careless word, in its career.
Then rumor caught the flying word
And busy gossip gave it weight,
Until that little word became .
vehicle of angry hate.
And then that word was winged with fire,
Its mission was thing of pain,
For soon it fell like lava drops
Upon wildly tortured brain.
And then another page of life
With burning, scalding tears was blurred;
load of care was heavier made,
1t added weight, that careless word.
That careless word, oh! how 1t scorched
fainting, bleeding, quivering heart
Twas like hungry fire, that searched
Through every tender, vital part.
How wildly throbbed that aching heart!
Deep agony its fountains stirred;
1t ealmed, but bitter ashes mark
The pathway of that careless word.

George Washington's Bill of Fare.

James Cochrane, a postmaster in this
county, has kindly favored us with letter
written by General Washington to the
director of the general military hospital of
the Revolutionary army in 1779. He has
in his possession the original letter in the
handwriting Of the General, which was
evidently written in one Of his most playful
moods. It will be matter of interest to
those who have not seen it, also, on account
of it's Centennial quality. We copy it:
DEAR DocToR:-I have invited Mrs.
Cochrane and Mrs. Livingston to dine with
me tomorrow, but ought not to apprise
them of their fate?
AS hate deception, I will. Tt is need
less to premise that my table is large
enough to hold the ladies. Of this they
had ocular proof yesterday.
To say how it will be covered is more
essential, and this shall be the purport of
my letter. Since our arrival at this happy
spot VIC have a ham (sometimes shoulder)
of bacon to grace the head of the table, a
| piece of roast beef adorns the foot, and a
small dish of greens or beans (almost i'm
perceptible) decorates the center. When
our cook has mind to cut figure (and
this, presume, he win attempt tomorrow
we have two beefsteak pies, or crabs, in
addition, one each side Of the center dish,
reducing the distance between dish and
| dish about six feet. OF late he has the
good luck to discover that apples win make
pies, and amid his efforts we may get one

will submit to partake Of it on plates oncl
tin but now iron (not become so by seour
ing), shall be happy to see them. I am
dear doctor, your most obedient servant,

An Incident.

Near the Washington Navy Yard a num-
ber of street gamins were collected around
"a drunken man, who lay snoring on his
back with his mouth open, his toe protrud-
ing through the end of his torn boot, like
the head of black snake from an open
clam shell. The boys amused themselves
by tickling his ears with spllnters. Every
now and then he partially awakened, and,
seizing any chip or stone which lay within
his reach, threw it at his tormentors, and
then, mumbling some inaudible blessing,
sank back to rest. When he was sound
asleep again, one ingenious youth, struck
with bright thought, pulled strong
piece of twine from his pocket, and, eau
tiously creeping up, made one end fast to
the protuding toe without awakening the
sleeper. The free end of the twine was
then harnessed to the ragged half of brick.
which, with cosnmendable caution, was
placed convenient to the hand of the droWsy
individual. The tickling process was now
resumed, and after three or four uneasy
turns and groans, the recumbent started
up, seized the brick, and threw it ferooi-
ously at his retreating prosecutors. He
suddenly resumed the horizontal position,
| az if he had been struck by charge of nj
tro glycerine, but was last seen dancing
franticall5 on one leg, clinging wildly to hi
toe, emitting at the same time the mos

THE HrLL-CLIMBINe ENeINE.-The new
contrivance known as the hill-climbing en-
gine, continues to excite much interest in
France. This engine, as described, has no
wheels, and consequently does not roll, but
in place Of them is finished with what are
termed legs, upon which it accomplishes
the purpose in view. Is is like an ordinary
engine in most respects, but is supplied
with straight rods, terminating in broad,
circular skates there are three Of these
| legs IN front and three behind. The cylinf
ders, IN place Of aetuaEiag wheels, raise the
| feet. The apparatus Is claimed to be es
peeially adapted for carrying great weights
| mp railway inclines. One Of them, weigh
/ ing ten tons, is represented As running fou
to five miles an hour, and can accomplish
! twelve and one-ilalf IL desired.
