TuE COURTSHTP or SENATOR
CIEKTSGHAECy.

Anna S. H., Washington cores
pondent Of the Boston Transcript,
writes:
Had the leaning spire Of the Me-
tropoIitan Church suddenly fallen,
crashing out the last discord Of It's
chimes, it would never have start
led usso much as the announcement
of Senator Christiarcy's marriage,
The old gentleman has moved
about like a shadow, dropping his
dead in deep meditation, sitting
quietly Mt his desk during the
hours CT Senatorial work, and nev-
er once suggesting to any observer
that in that slender frame there
could be any hiding place for rom
antic ideas. But when Senator
Christiancy returned g.um thc hvI-
iday recess, fate sent him to pro-
cure rooms at Mrs. Choate's on In
DIANA avenue. Rooming in the
same house was n demure little
Dotty Dimple Of q damsel, with in
noccnt blue eyes, fair hair waving
back from tairer forehead, and q
general suggesLiyeness Of reliability
She had way Of curling herself
in great chairs or nesting in sofa
corners that was very charming;so
the grave Senator turned from alb
struse political conundrums with
an indulgeut smile to watch the
young lady. Fate chuckied and
made opportunities for frequent
greeting that should involve hand
clasps, and the thing was done,
Don't you know how mich there is
in the merest touch Of the velvet
palm? So, when our Senator took
in his own that warm, soft little
morsel of Miss Lilies, there cept
through all his nerves q little thrill
so delicious that, like Oliver Twist,
he inyoluntarily asked for 'more;"
than growing still more coyetous,
he wanted the sole right to the
duresaid little hand, aud in q month
from the time they met the momen-
tous question had been asked aud
answered with a sweet, shy "yes.'
That was two weeks ago, but no.
body guessed the secret. The lit
tie maiden went daily to her duties
in that lororn division of the treas
ury known as McCarter's Bureau,
till the lst OF February; resiguing
then, She has spent only week
in preparing to join the Senatorial
circle, and this morning there was
quiet wedding, making Miss Lii
he LugenbceI, Mrs. Judge Christ
Iaucy. About as much difference
in the relatiye social position rs IN
the age of the high contracting
parties, for the Judge is siXty-four
and his bride not yet twenty.
There are six children by the for
mer wife, who only died nine
months ago.
The correspondent of the New
York Times says Of the same affair

For the last week sng2ja,-looking old man
has talscn seat on stone at the corner Of
Grand River and Washington avenues, and hold
ing his hat in his hand has silently appealed to
the passers-by for aims.
A Amo1hcrl.y looking old lady WAS passing that
way yesterday, and, when sic saw the old man,
she halted and said:
Poor ulan, let me help you! Your hat has
fallen of and you have not the strength to re-

She took it from his outstrctched hand and

MY HOME.
o dear old home. ! close my eyes
And RPa yOu Dt,ca Ar1lf1

o dear old home. close my eyes
And see you once again,
Just as you looked in childhood's days
The days that knew not pain,
When ev'ry hour was full OF joy,
And ev'ry way was peace-
Ah Me! with years cares multiply,
And joys, alas! decrease
I'll meier forget the garden walk,
Bound either side with boz;
Where blossomed thyme and phlox;
Sweet Wil]iam, nlarisold. and sage,
And mint, grew in . row;
Their heads chryRanthemums did Waya
Until the time for snow,
The grapes climbed up the old stone wall,
and purpled in the sun;
How cool they looked, und tempting, when
The busy day Was done.
The clinsstoues and the apricots
Grew near the kitchen door:
In early Spring the blossoms sweet
Blew over the kitchcn-foor.
Within the hives the busy bees
Made honey all day long;
From their wee nests amid the trees
The birds sent forth their song.
There was quiet in the air
quiet in the hcurt-
That never comes again to us
When Youths sweet days depart.
Within the house tho rooms were quaint,
Tho furniture was odd;
But eli thu folks were honest folks.
Who all their lives served God
The carpets were of many tints,
The chairs were without grace
Each stood up stiff and slippery,
In its allotted pIace.
Yet all the hearts within that home
We're filled with faith and love;
They bore their trials patiently,
As seut from Him above.
Their lives were dull; in the worlds ewes
There's naught so dull as DUTY:
Bnt in the eyes OF God, ] thl1k,
Their lives were full OF beauty.
One after one they closed their cycs-
Death took them by the hand:
he led them o'er the waters dark
To Gods own Promised Land.
And alone lrifted at last
Into the busy world,
Where Vice and Virtue run apace.
And Truths white lag Is furIed.
In quiet times think, old home,
OF sweet days 1oug ago,
When sou were all the world knew.
Or all cared to know
When grow old, will retrace
These weary steps OF mine,
And when Death comes, lay me dow
To sleep ncas thee and thine.
