An Old House.


There is something in an old house
that never can be in anew one. The
new may be handsomer, it may have
higher ceilings and broader panes of
glass, a medieval mantle-piece, and
French paper on the walls, and Per
sian rugs. You may be proud of it,
but you loved the old house-the dea:
old place, almost as old as the great
trees at the door. A tall man could
touch the ceilings with his palm, and
the great mantlepieces were stiff and
ugly; but there, in the fire light, used
to sit, once upon u time, the old
grandmother with her knitting, while
the children climbed upon her knee
and she told them stories of her
youth.
Out of that. window-the little
window with the diamond panes-
she had looked to see her young hus-
band coming home after a long days
hunt, flushed with exercise, bright
and handsome. There lay the great
red deer he shot; yonder the the dogs
were kennellcd-the great, brown
eyed dogs,
One of their race then unborn,
sometimes stands besides her as she
tells these tales, old and blind and
toothless, and there are no deer now,
Yes, up that road she had ridden
herself, a gay young bride, coming
for the first time time to the husbands
house, full of hope and joy, There
her babes had been born, grown to
men and women, and gone forth.
Out of that door went at last, her
husbands funeral train, and nothing
left her of her life but it its memoir
les, There she sat, thinking and
knitting, telling the old stories, How
could she be so content? The young
people often thought.
The tall clock stood in the hall and
licked as it had done for seventy
years, In the glass cupboard were
stored a sacred tea service with gilt
edges, and silver teapot that had
been a wedding present.
Fox's Martyrs and the pilgrims
Progress were in the book case, and
the big Bible on the stand; and there

Take Your County Paper.

Do the city papers say anything
in regard to your own country? Moth
ing. DO they contain notices ofyour
schools, meetings, churches, improve
ments, and hundreds of other local
matters of interest which your home
paper publishes without pay? Not
an item. Do they say a word calcu-
lated to draw attention to your coun-
try and aid in its progress and enter
prise? Not a line. And there are
men who take such contracted views
Of this matter that, unless they are
getting as many square inches of
reading matter in their own as they
do in city paper, they think they
are not getting the worth of their
money. 1t reminds us Of a man who
took the largest pair of boots in the
box because the price was the same
as the pair, much smaller, fitted him.

derous puifs on their head, on the
walls; up in the bedrooms were rag,
carpets and and high-post beds, and
chests of drawers, and long presses
How many heads had rested on those
pillows! What happy dreams have
been dreamt, what bitter tears she'd
And down in the parlor, with its
hard upright sofa, guests with strange
dullnes of which no one ever dreamt,
had been entertained; and lovers had
wooed and won, doubtless there had
been little tragedies, such go on be-
tween lovers through all the genera
tions. Story after story has told
itself in the old house.
They are not all happy ones, but
they make the old house different
from a new one. Memories Turk in
the very walls; and who shall say
that the spirits of those who lie at
rest in the old church-yard yonder,
under tomb stones on which moss
has grown do not sometimes fit
through it-unseon but felt-bring-
ing softened emotions and tender re-
collections as they pass?
The very tries in the garden are
not as other trees. They have their
stories. Under this first kiss was
taken, under that hands met an eter'
nal parting.
Down in the the orchard is a baby's
grave-the baby would have been
fifty years old if he lived to-day-but
only a little while ago his mother sat
there and shed tear over it.
The new house is fine, and costly
and modern, but there is no poetry
in it and there will not be until at
least two generations have made ii
an old house, and haunted it with
sweet ghosts, as they did the old one

Beat IL his Own Game.

They sat on bench in the park,
and his manly arm was around her
yielding waist. Suddenly she twist
ed around and spoke:

Silence for three minutes. The
young man ponders on the awful per-
il that oncircles man who comes
from home with only fifteen cents
and a sleeve button in his pocket

ever knew"
"Y-es, It's warm"
"My throat is drcadfnlly parch-
ed"
"Thats too bad. Would you like
some water?"
ooh, no; the water is so terribly
warm and brackish."
Young man grows desperate.
wouldn't you like a damp hand

Young man chokes with despair,
then braces up.

Ten minutes later that young man
stood over schooner Of lager in
conversation, and wiping the perspir'
alton from his brow as he laid down
his last fifteen cents, and congratula'
ted himself on having beaten wo-
man on the ice cream business, while

1t will always be the chief pride OF

en- pathetic, when we think how
Napoleon gazed seward, westward,
from another island, no longer on
horseback, no longer laurel crowned,
an unthroncd, unseated conqueror,
on st. Helena. His fathers house
stands close by. An old Italian wait
ing.woman, who had been long in
the service of Marats, keeps it and
shows it. Those who fancy that Ma
poleon was born in Il mean dwelling
of poor parents will be surprised to
find so much space and elegance in
these apartments. Ofcourse hisfam-
lily was not rich by comparison with
the riches of French or English no.
bles. But for Corsicans they were
well to do, and their houses has an
air of antique dignity, The chairs
of the entrance saloon, have been lit
orally stripped of their coverings by
enthusiastic visitors; the horsc-hair
stufling underneath protrudes itself
with a sort of coming pride, as ifpro,
testing that it came to be so battered
in an honorable service. Some of
the furniture seems new; but many
old presses, inlaid with marbles,
agates, and lapis lazuli, such.as Ital-
ian families preserve for generations,
have an air of respectable antiquity
about them. There, too, in Il dark
bed-chamber, is the bed in which he
was born. On the wall of the same
room is a portrait Of Napoleon as the
young General ofthe Republic-with
the citizens unkempt hair, the fierce
fire of the Revolution in his eyes, a
frown upon his forehead, lips com.
pressed, and quivering nostrils; also
one of his mother, the pastille of u
handsome woman,with Napolconic
eyes and brow and nose, but with 4
vacant simpering mouth, Perhaps
the provincial artist knew not how
to seize the expression of this feature
the most difficult to draw, for We can
not fancy that Lctiaia had lips with
out the frmness or the fulncss of n
majestic nature The whole first
story of this house belonged to the
Bonaparto family. The windows
look out partly on a little court and
partly on narrow streets. 1t was, no
doubt, the memory of this home that
made Napoleon, when Emperor, de.
sign schemes for the good of Corsica.

ELECTION OF HAYES AND WHEELER.

The Electoral Commission having dcclar-
 ed Hayes and Wheeler elected President
 and Vice President of the United States.
 for the ensuing four years, it is, of course
 the duty, a> it will be the pleasure of all
 good eitizens 10 cheerfully acquiescc in inc
 choice of the people, as aseertainrd by the ! legally constituted authorities. The es,ab ! lishmcat of such Commission, by the pas | sage of law to meet this especial case, af-
 ter the election had already trnSpired. we
 beheved, and stiil believe, to have been
 wrong in principle, and that a consistent regard for legality, and strict justice, would have demanded that the count be had under the law ss it existed al the time the election Was held; bat thlsc te whom the people, by their votes have entrusted the authority to make laws t, govern us thought otherwise, and all law-alitling citizens, as was their duty, accepted the new departure eHd made up their mind, io accept the result as fiaal- iiy, whether it accorded with their indiyid- ual Wishe, or not.
 The transrendcut abilities and higa char. acier of the eminent gentlemen who com posed the Commission gave force ,o Uni, de termination, amt inspired the people with confidence that the truth would be ascer- tgined and justice done, and that whichever of the candidates was legally elected would be so declared and duly inaUguratcd. The Convention have had the whole matter in teligently and ably presented and argued before them, and si(cr due delibcratiop on l.. al. f..... A.
 suit tn be that Rutherford E. Hayes and William X. Wheeler arc elected President and Vice President of the United States. This result was not unexpected by those who had taken an impartial view of the question a> presented by the prc,>, from day to day as tho count progressed in the several States Had it terminated otherwise. while 1t would have been the duty ot-,ho people to roeog- niye and support the law, and assist the officers in seeing it properly and faithfully executed, II would nevertheless have been an ulhcaTd of proceeding for one candidate to recive a majority of the electoral certificates and the other declared elected President
 We hear of few, Would-be politicians, who are dissatisfied and accuse the Commis- sion of partizan partiality, but the great mass of the people, the honest heart of the Nation, are really glad that the agony is over. ! and though many would have preferred Til . lcn to Hayes, they question neither the in iegrity uor the judgment of the Commission !
 Those who affect to deSpise the Commis- .ion and question it's honesty, were loudest in demanding ifs organization it was their ,wn bantling, and it now comes with bad grace in them to disown their own offspring.
