TIMOTHY WARE, ESQ.

Mr. Timothy Ware stood at his gar
den gate and looked down the road.
You might have noticed him, perhaps,
as you passed along-a wrinkled, keen
eyed, elderly man. Now elderliness, l
take it, is further off from the sweet
ripenesS and flavor of old age than youth
itself. TO be elderly presupposes some
thinness of blood, some sort of ineXpres-
sible poverty of nature, such as there
seems to be all about this region where
I. Wares house is located range of
long, low-lying, uneasy hillocks that
could never settle themselves to any
thing; a sandy, incapable stretch of
thread-bare grass and stunted wood
land.
1t was not an easy thing to imagine
that just over the south ridge lay a
smiling and fruitful country, a thrifty
settlement of Quaker farmers, who held
themselves, perhaps, little too much
alOOf from this inhospitable neighbOr-
hood.
1t was a chill October afternoon, and
the low, slant rays of the setting sun
looked fTtively out from blue black
ridge of cloud over the garden and the
gardens owner. There had been a frost
over night, which had wiped out almost
every lingering vestige of summertime.
A few elderly beans chung shrinkingly
to their poles IN the bleak background;
a scanty patch of corn rustled its sere
leaves forlornly in the wind, with here
and there pumpkin ripening sparsely
between, and turning out its yellow ro-
tundity to the sun, rs resolved TO put
the best face on things thatwas possible;
while, tall and stark, q row of sunflow
ers, Tapping gauntly above the hedge,
overlooked the desOlation.
As old Ware stood there at his gate
and looked about him, with his faded
red cap on his head and his lank dress
ing-gown clinging about him, he seemed
verify part of the frost-bitten scene,
illustrating it feebly, like an ill-cut
/ frontispiece in badly printed volume.
I Yet there was a tradition that he had
once upon time been the chief figure
! in q great concern somewhere in town,
and that in some forgotten period long
ago the old weather-beaten house had
+ Haunted gayly in a new coat of paint
and bright green shutters, and was
bright with new carpets and curtains to
welcome coming bride. But all that
was so far away now that people had
forgotten the date, and could not recall
/ that they had ever been interested in
any thing concerning old Ware.
Tin Ware, Esq, the boys called him
a nickname based, perhaps on float
ing legend of miser-made wealth slowed
( somewhere away in the loose clap
boarding of his tenement, or perhaps
intended briefly to bear testimony to
the value set upon him in the commu-
nity-Tin Ware, Esq, was not popu-
1 lar man among the lads of the village.

The Outcome of the War.

The points in the conditions of peace
conceded by the Czar-the abandon
ment of the claims upon the Egyptian
and Bulgarian tributes, and the four
disputed irOn-clads, the restoration of
Kavala and Salonica, the permission
granted to MahOmedans to reside in
Bulgaria after its reconstruction-prac-
tically amount to little or nothing, while
the substantial advantages which re-
main are sufficient to make this war the
most successful of the many crusades
waged by Russia against her hereditary
foe. The impending conference is thus,
so to speak, " discounted in advance"
and the Cabinet of st. Petersburg, with
such results in its hands, may confront
with resolute face the waycring and
ill-cOncerted opposition of Western
Europe. Nor is this the only advantage
conferred by the bold measure Just com
pleted. Hitherto Russia's opponents
have stood ready to advance or recede,
as circumstances might dictate They
had not committed themselves to any
line of policy, nor ventured out of the
friendly twilight of diplomacy into the
broa1 glare of decisive action. But
now Russia has virtually "forced their
hand" They must either acquiesce in
the new arrangement, or dissolve it by
armed force; in a word, they must
fight or submit. Germany is neutral if
not friendly. Roumania's discomfort is
expanding itself in useless remon-
strances. Italy seems contented to let
diplomatic protests supply the place of
ball and bayonet. Turkey is hopelessly
acquiescent. The attack, if made at all,
must be made by England and Austria
alone; and neither England nor Austria
is in any haste to strike the first blow.
Indeed, indications are not wanting that
after the first burst of irritation natural
to men who feel that they have been
outwitted, both parties will &c accept the
inevitable - more readily than might
have been expected, especially now that
Russia has reduced the war indemnity
to f12, 100000, according to her favor

means to take, and then making a show

THE BEAUTY.

BE il my most pleasing duty
TO describe a little beauty;
Though l never saw her face
But within picture case.
TwOuld look better in a bonnet,
With a wreath of flowers upon it,
And aliving smile to sun it.
But even round that picture cover
Love and Memory ever hover,
Like the bees round tops of clover.
IL is the dagucrrOtype
OF all that's rich and rare and ripel
Let me count the rosary
of her charms, and bend the knee
OF unpretending poesy
Before the leather covered shrine
Ofthis patron saint of thine.
Who, combining every grace,
Reigns a female Boniface.
Hair in deep, dark currents flowing,
Whose smooth waves with light are glowing
As in countless drifts and whOrls,
IL breaks upon her neck in curls.
Flashing eyes, with azure tinged,
Jetty arched and silken fringed;
BleSt he'll be whom their warm glances
Coax along to loves advances;
Happy he who shall behold
Loves first buds i'm them unfold.
Her dainty nose I'll not define
As either Greek or aquiline,
Norit with ostentation call
THE nOblest Roman of them alp
But all their beauties blent in one
Could only match this paragon;
For in it mingle all the graces
seen in those of classic faces.
Cheeks that, though peace on them repOscs,
War against the jealous roses.
dainty mouth, enwreathed with smiles,
But free from all coquettish wiles,
Whose curved lips, YermiliOn hued,
Are loves own sweet Similitude:
While through them oft are seen beneath
Flashing pearl enameled teeth.
Throat that like marble column,
Curtained by her tresses' volume,
Stands revealed rs in a niche,
Splendidly adorned and rich,
Nodded to artistic lines,
And polished till il fairly shines.
There you see, ali rare and bright
\ face of which dream at night.
If her charms I've rightly told,
lis an angel you behold.
Who will win and wear the beauty?
Some Old fellow grim and sooty.
You smile, and doubtless think it funny;
Let me add, he'll have the money
4 sour and mOldy hard old crust,
Round whom Dame Fortune drifts her dust
Some brute who may abuse and thump her,
Or some sleek young counter jumper
A shrewd, adulterating grocer
McthinkS hear you mutter, " No, slr"'
All! my boy, you should know better;
One of these il sure to get her.
Depend upon it she'll be won
By Jones, or Brown, or Robinson.
If she fishes for n mate,
With youth and beauty as her bait,
The chances are she'll catch Tartar,
And die matrimonial martyr;
OR, after years of angling, marry
Tom-ay, even Dick or Harry!
II her heart is not as true
As her features fair to view,
For YOU to strive to rival Mammon,
Is worse, my friend, far worse than CANNON.
Most beauties are, YOU must consider,
Knocked down to the highest bidder.
Every one has some sweet face,
Prisoned in a picture case,
or by memory's magic art
Photographed upon the heart;
And we ALI in gloomy days,
Steal apart and on them gaze,
some bright thoughts of hope and gladneSs,
Some of bygone days and sadness;
As old eyes, by longing kindled,
Fondly to past pleasures travel,
And wieTd fingers, lean and dwindled,
All their web of life unravel,
For the threads of golden sheen
That, far apart, are dimly seen.

A WeasePs Attack on a Child.

For some weeks Mr.. Pierce, who lives
in an old brick house near the canal in
Georgetown, has heard a peculiar noise
at night, and discovered the gradual
loss of chickens. He came to the con-
clusion that it must be made by rats.
Friday night he and his wife were
awakened by a sharp cry of distress
from the crib adjoining their bed, in
which their 2-year-old infant was sleep
ing. MIR. Pierce Immediately sprang
out and discovered a weasel at his
child's throat. Catching the animal
with his hand, he threw it to the floor,
killing it at once. a few moments later
the little one would certainly have been
killed, as deep cash was already made
in It's throat. The animal was about Is
inches long, very slender, with short
Washington Star.

rights for the insurgents, which, how
ever, were not granted. Gen. Burriel,
Governor of Santiago de Cuba, who or
dered the murder of the unfortunate
men of the Virginius, was recalled to
Spain, but rewarded there for his butch
cry. In the latter part of December a
battle was fought at Palo Sece, in which
the Spaniards was defeated. They sus-
tanned another defeat in January, 1874,
at Melones, and the insurgents destroy
ed a large number of plantations
throughout that district. In February
the indecisive battle of Maranjo was
fought. In June the patriots captured
the town of Bayamo, and in July nego-
tiations were reported as being again
in progress for a settlement, but came
to nothing. From that time until the end
of 1874 continuous fighting was kept up.
Sixteen serious engagements took place
during that time.
As Valmaseda was again made Cap
tain General, he offered amnesty in
March, 1875, to certain leaders with
their followers, but it was rejected rs
before, and the war went on with vigOr,
although the Captain-G General renewed
his offers again and again. Cespedes'
death was a tragic ending to patriotic
career. He was succeeded by Palma
and Juan B. SpOturno as Presidents.
The recent surrender of SpOturnO mark
ed the dissolution of the Cuban insur-
gent Government. At the end of 1915
Nalmaseda was superseded by Jovellar,
who set at once to work in a systematic
manner to reconcile the insurgents with
the inevitable failure of their cause. In
this he has been seconded by Gen. Mar
tinez Campos, who, although nominally
in command of the army, took an active
part in the negotiations. 1t is to be
feared that the volunteers of Cuba may
not Immediately accept the peace terms,
but the power of the Government will
undoubtedly be exercised for the preser-
