Hard Grind--.A Soul that Music Would NOT
Charm.

A hand-organ man was making his
way up Adams avenue yesterday,
when a boy met him and asked:
How many tunes do you play?'i
"Zixteen shunes-nice, sweet
shunes," replied the man.
my father is fond of music, but he
is little deaf" continued the boy.
''Oh, dat make no deference-I max
him hear"
The boy led the way up street to
where a plaster bust of Sir Isaac New
ton had been arranged in bay window
to look like living man, and the Ital-
ian spit on his hand and began on the
crank. He ground out all the tunes in
rotation and back up the scale till he
got all the tunes in the garnet of the
box again. The man in the bay WIN
dow didn't move hair, and the Ital-
ian drew long breath and sighed:
play mour muzeek-mak a him
hear soon"
He ran out eight times and then
threw some gravel at the window, The
bust didn't even work its ears. and the
Italian leaned the organ on the fence
and loudly sang:
"Oh who shall drinks of me som nour.
When I am far AWAY"
The seven other tunes were ratified
Off at lively pace, while the man
coughed, whistled, kicked on the fence
and encouraged a dog-fght, in order to
attact the deaf mans attention.
Sing louder play harder!' called
the boy from the next street corner.
The grinder secured brace for his
feet, unbuttoned his vest, and the way
he roared brought out the citizens bv
the score. He kept his eyes on the
bust and gave no heed to the crowd
and the organ-box was smoking hot
when he let up the grind. Resting the
music on the ground, he leaned over
the fence and got square look at his
victim. His quiet grin faded into a
look Of woe and misery ana murder,
and getting his eyes on the boy with
the red necktie, he ran him four blocks
and under carpenter shop before a
still, small voice whispered that he bad
better hold on.

In HIS VTNEYARRD.

In HIS vANElAhhUs
There is never way so narrow or short,
But the Masters work is there;
There is something to do for his dear sake,
Or something to calmly bear.
There are trials to meet with Christian faith,
And duties with Christian grace;
And there's Christian sweetness to every one,
To be given in every place.
Their working days never so hard,
Who find in Christ stay;
And days of darkness are days of light
When Jesus leads the way.
And the waiting days CT those who hope,
And days of quietness;
And the praying days of those who trust,
Are days Of perfect peace.
There are howrets down in the valley low,
And over the mountain side,
Which were never praised by human voice,
Nor by human eyes described.
Yet as sweet as the breath of the royal rose,
Is the perfume they exhale;
And why they bloom and where they bloom,
The good Lord knoweth well.

Toombs fought shy Of Douglass, whom
he admired and sometimes feared; but
he assailed Seward and Wade, ridiculing
them as "sansculotte lacklanders," whom
he denounced as trespassers, who ought
TO be kicked off the public domain. He
shook his ist at Seward, who happened
at the moment to be quietly smoking a
cigar at the doorway of the cloak room,
and arra'gned him as destitute OF all
statesmanlike ideas, and only playing the
slippery arts OF a small demagogue.
Then turning to Wade, whose seat was
nearly by the side OF his own, Toombs
(his knotted locks bristling with excite
ment), sneered at Wade, who, till then,
he always supposed was O man of moder-
ate courage. for being afraid of the lack
landers. and fol skulking from the real
qls ltions et issue
This personal sally brought Wade to
his feet; his eye flashed defiance. Step
pirg up to Toombs, and bringing his fist
heavily upon the desk, he said, in tones
that made the chamber ring: AFRAID
/ am not aware that ever saw anyt ,ir q
or anybody under the Almighty Heaven
that / was afraid Off Toombs dew his
chair back little. "Skulk the iss1s ?

The packed galleries could stand it no
longer, and broke out with applause,
which, in spite of Vice President Breck.

hands with Wade. into three cheers for
"Old Ben and the Little Giant"
The marrow Of the controversy was
touched when Mason declared that nc
Democrat holding the doctrines of the
Senator from Illinois could get single
electoral vote from the South in the next
Presidential campaign, which Douglass
instantly checkmated by the vehement
assertion that no Democrat holding the
sentiments of the Senator from Virgins
could carry single Congressional Dis
trict in the North. The prophecy O
each was fulfilled in 1860, when Breckin
ridge and Douglass were the Democratic
candidates OF their respective sections
