SENATOR BAYARD's ADDRESS AT
HARVARD UNIVERSITY has attracted
great admiration and attention, and
drawn forth many approving remarks
This address was prepared with deliber-
alton and care, and whatever SENAToRl
BAYARD undertakes 10 do in the line his
profession, or in literature, he does well.
This has been proven by his previous
mastery efforts; and his State is proud
of their distinguished citizen and holds
him in the highest estimation. Our little
state can only become great through the
excellence, imminence and achievements
OF her public men, added to the learning,
sobriety, industry and virtue Of her peo-
pie. In Delaware Senator Bayard stands
out as our foremost man, and whatever
is said in his honor or Of his great abili-
ties as a statesman, author or speaker is
appreciated, and regarded as highly de-
served because of the unquestioned
sincerity of his purpose and untring eff
forts to search out the truth and expose
it, in whatever line his laborious re-
searches are attracted to. The New York
World, of to-day, publishes the entire
address to the Phi Beata Kappa Society
Of Harvard, yesterday, with the following
editorial remarks, showing the high ap
probation in which that able and widely
circulated journal holds the address anC
its distinguished author:

An Enterprising Boy.

At the season of the year when
the boys are out of school, they are
taxing their wits to the utmost
tension to find something to do to
procure pocket money, If not to as
sist their parents. One Of the hap
piest and most original devices for
this end that it has been our chance
to hear Of, is that of lad who in
vaded Brooklyn, and, noticing the
unusual number of kerosene lamps
in use in that city, he solicited the
Job of taking care of the same for
several store keepers. His price
was modest-ten cents per week
for each lamp--for which sum he
agreed TO trim and keep clean the
lamp, brush out the chimney, etc.
His success surprised him. He
soon had Fifty lamps TO look after,
and then his work increased so
that he engaged an assistant, pay
ing him n stated salary, and he, as
"boss," took the orders. This
young man has the care Of several

The Paper.

Philip Gilbert Hamilton, in his
admirable papers on intellectual
Life," thus talks Of the paper:--
Newspapers are to the civilized
world what the daily house talk is
to the members Of the family-they
keep our daily interest In each
other, they save US from the evils
of isolation. To live as q member
Of the great white race that has fill
ed Europe and America and colon
lied or conquered whatever terri
tory 1t has been pleased to occupy,
to share from day to day its thought,
its cares. its inspiration, it is neces-
sary that every man should read
his paper. Why are the French
peasants so bewildered at seat It
is because they never read news
paper. And why are the inhabi-
tants OF the United States, though
scattered over territory fourteen
times the areas of France, so much
more capable of concert action, so
much more alive and modern, so
much more interested In new dis
coveries Of all kinds and capable
Of selecting and utilizing the best
Of them! II is because the news
papers penetrated everywhere, and
even the lonely dweller on the
prairie or the forest is not intellec-
tually isolated from the great cur
rents of public life which flow
through the telegraph and press"

Rufus ChOate's Fence.

! suppose that the story about
Rufus Choate's handwriting has
been told often. 1t seems that Mr..
Choate wanted a new fence around
the home lot. So he called in his
carpenter and had talk with him
about the work, and the next time
he went to Boston he got his archi-
tect to make rough sketch Of the
work, showing his idea of how he
desired the fence to be built. On
the day appointed for the work to
begin Mr.. Choate was summoned
away. Just as he was about TO
start the carpenter appeared aud
Mr.. Choate pulled the plan ont Of
his vest pocket, hurriedly delivered
it and drove off to catch the train.
Returning after an absence of
two weeks, on approaching his
house he was filled with amaze
ment and led to doubt where he
lived his home lot was surrounded
by a zig-zag fence of most extra
ordinary design. When he saw the
old carpenter pounding Justify
away, he felt reassured as to the
identity of the place, but most
puzzled by TIE marvellous fence.
"Hello |" he shouted, "what are
you doing :"
"Doin' (" said the carpenter,
smashing tenpenny nail with one
blow, "we're doin' some pooty tall
work. We've slung fence together
in little bit less time than any
similar sligin' was ever done in the
commonwealth of Massachusetts,
We're two days ahead of contract
time now
"But for heavens sake what sort
Of a fence is that Z"
don't know. Thought when
you gi' me the plan it was the
damdest fence l ever heard of, but
| supposed you knew what you
wanted u
"Plan !" said Rufus, "planl Let
me see the plan !" and when the
carpenter handed it over the fence,
Mr.. Choate realized that in his
haste he had felt in the wrong
pocket and handed him not the
plan, but q note in his own hand
writing.

John, If they've got to CO., and
here they are"
Uncle Josiah set the basket in
the hall, and Aunt Martha had
given such good Scripture meas
ure that the basket contained a
bushel and a half Of luscious, rosy,
tempting peaches.
"Oh. you dear, good, thoughtful
aunt Martha" said her namesalie,
delightedly, 81 wish the world was
full of just such queer, old-fash-
ioned women, as the girls call you.
They will do me a great deal OF
good"
Mrs. Sheldon exerted herself 10
the utmost to make aunt Martha's
visit pleasant, and the old lady de-
clared that she had not had such u
delightful visit for years.
"Why couldn't you go home with
us Martha" she asked, "and stay q
week or two, and put mp your win
ter supply of fruit 7 The little
that you would require would never
he missed out Of an orchard like
ours"
And so 1t was arranged that Mrs.
Sheldon should go the next week,
and through aunt Martha's
thoughtful kindness she found op-
portunity of saving the money to
buy the dress, which had cost her
so much anxiety, and when her
skillful fingers had completed it,
her husband declared that she
looked nice enough for queen.

NV NeighbOr's Baby.

Across in my neighbours window, with its drnp-
ings Of satin and lace,
see, meath its flowing ringlets, baby innocent
face.
His feet, in crimson slippers, are tapping the
polished glass;
And the crowd in the street look upward, and
nod and smile as they pass.
just here, in my cottage window, catching flies in
the sun,
With patched and faded apron, stands my own
little one
His face is rs pure and handsome as the babys
over the way,
And he keeps my heart from breaking, at my toll
ing every day.
Sometimes when the dry is ended, and sit in
the dusk to rest,
With the faee of my sleeping darling hugged close
to my lonely breast
pray that my neiehbors baby may not catch
heavens roses all,
But tina, some may crown the forehead Of my
loved one as they fall.
And when draw the stockings from his little
weary feet,
And kiss the rosy dlmples in his limbs so round
and sweet,
think of the dainty garments some little chill
dren wear,
And that my God withholds them from mine so
pure and fair.
Mty God forgive my envy-I knew not what I
said
My heart Is crushed and troubled-my neghbor's
boy is dead
I saw the little coffin as they carried it out to-
day;
4 mothers heart ia breaking in the mansion over
the way
The light is fair in my window, the flowers bloom
ut my door.
Ny 10y is chasing the sunbeams that dance on
the eottnge floor
The roses of health sre blooming on my darling's
cheek to-day,
Bu; the baby is gone from the window of the man
sion over the way.
