Her eyes were bright, her figure slight

Her nose was heavenward inclined:
Her manners sweet and airy.
Her mouth was like rosebud:
Her voice like any linnet;
Her head was little, and fear
Had very little in it.
But then so artless was her art
MY heart coaldA not resist her; asL
And, added to her other charms,
She had pretty sister. s1
They bloomed like any double rose.
They blushed a double pink;
One graced the name of Lauras
The other, Kate, think. F.sl{
When left alone with Laura,
Love urged his soft dictate;
And in sweet Laura's absence,
Looted mOre-On Kate. it-5. ut it

And that's the reason, Ladies,

For being single hearted,
I rest single man. ps.4.Y

old as history, and no man who is able
to fill great public place adequately can
be Ignorant of it. The blindness Of per-
sonal ambition is well illustrated by the
reported words of Mr.. Webster. Hesays,
in effect, that he had served the public
faithfully j. and had been not only made.
ouately rewarded but had been most
severely censured for his least selfish
actions. But what is adequate reward Of
great public service?"
For forty years Mr.. Webster was almost
continuously in public life, as Representa-
tive in Congress, Senator, and Secretary
of State. His commanding abilities. at
once recognized, placed him in general
estimation at the head of the bar. and
secured him an unequaled influence in
politics. By common consent he was the
chief of living American orators, and his
mere presence as speaker gave greatness
to the greatest occasions. Upon points
of constitutional law he was the highest
authority, so that his word alone could
challenge q long settled Interpretation,
not only without absurdity, but with a
force that was SO respected as to raise a
doubt. AS a diplomatist he was unrivaled
among his fellow statesmen. And, above
all, there was the greatness Of his reputa-
tion-a historic fame that began while he
was yet living-which made him the most
conspicuous of American citizens, and
which might well have satisfied the most
inordlnate ambition of applause and per-
sonal consideration. No possible official
position could Lave added to his renown,
nor to his opportunity of great service.
If his fame and his unquestionable power,
the immense admiration which was uni
vers.l'y conceded to him, and his vast
authority in public affairs were not an
adequate reward, it is not easy to see what
would have been.-Ha,per's Magazine for
May.

the bolt from the s'evener," so that in case
they should stampede the sled, would be
safe. They ran a few yards and stopped,
just as our whole party came up, out Of
breath, carrying their weapons and in
curing s1lln g for the mailman. I pointed to
the top of the load, one of the men climb
ed up and found him dead. His back
had been broken.
l inquired Tor Jim, and was informed
that the mailman had crept upon him as
ne was walking by the side of his team,
and had killed him with a heavy beetle,
and thrown his body against tree. 5
The parents of young Hayden wers
wild with grief, and blamed us all severe
ly. He was their oldest son and chief
support.
We advertised the death of the maniac
in the nearest city papers, and week or
ten days afterward heard from his rela-
tives.
He had been wealthy physician in
the State of New York, with a large prac-
tice, but had lost his reason through Civ
ing patient poison by mistake. IS
On hearing Of Jim's death, the brother
of the maniac made the Haydens pres
ent of five thousand dollars. He also
paid tor all the damage his brother had
done elsewhere.
After everything had been settled we
went back to our logging, and although
we were very successful, that winter was
the dark one Of my life.

A great strike of cotton operatives has
commenced in England. Although the
movement is not SO widespread as was at
one time feared, the number Of strikers
will probably reach $4,000, and the
greater portion Of the employees and pro
testing employers are said to be deter
mined to hold out to the bitter end. The
history of British strikes show how much
of misery, especially to the poor opera
tives, may result from these labor CON
tests, and it is probable that in the pres
ent instance there will be no abatement
of the suffering entailed BY this voluntary
act on the part Of the operatives. A dis
position to compromise by making the
reduction Of wages instead Of 10 per
cent is shown by some Of the mill pro-
prletors.

Parents are often puzzled to help their
children when they get beans, buttons,
ect, in their noses. The Medical Record
says: sBlow the patients nose for him,
by closing the empty nestril with your
finger and blowing suddenly and strong
" into the mouth IAN efficient method
which has often succeeded when instrr-
ments have failed. The CLOTHS closes
spasmodically, and the whole force of
your breath goes to expel the button or
bean, which commonly flies out at the
first effort"

Webster's Disappointment.

Mr.. Webster is reported to have said to
friend that although he knew that he
had puolic reputation to leave to pos
terity, yet if he was to live his life over
again, he would, upon no coz
sideration whatever, permit himself to
enter public life. The public, he said,
are ungrateful, and the man who serves
the most faithfully receives no adequate
reward. Do your duty, he added, as a
private citizen, but let politics alone. 1t is
probable that he said this substantially as
1t is reported, for there was never a more
disappointed public man, Toward the
end of his life there was almost gloomy
melancholy in his aspect. At the COM
pletion of the Erie Railroad, in 1851, as
Secretary of State he accompanied Presi-
dent Fillmore and very distinguished
party of public men on an excursion along
the road from New York to Dunkirk,
and upon reaching Dunkirk he spoke
from platform in the street. During
the speech the Easy Chair, who was a
spectator, observed that the sun was set
ting lust behind Mr.. Webster as he stood
erect, his gray hair lifted by the breeze,
his great head and sombre, mournful face
drawn against the illuminated west. 1t
was significant and pathetic spectacle,
A little latter the National Convention
of his party passed him by and nominal
ed another candidate for the Presidency
18TH little later he died. as was general
|ly felt, en-hearted man, not only, il
was believed, because he had failed tc

cause of some things he had been willing

the 9th of march, 1850 the orator at Ply.
mouth Rock in 1891 said to q friend and
Emember Of Congress, who told the Easy
Chair, . To. morrow am going to an
