Wanted Mr.. Gladstone for a Clerk.

Many incidents similar to the follow,
ing, and quite as amusing, have occurred
in the lives of eminent people. The
London City Press says:
A curious adventure once occurred in
the London Offices of the late e.. W.
Lindsay, merchant, ship.owner and an
NJ. P. There one day entered a brusque
but wealthy ship.owner of Sunderland,
inuuiring for Lindsay. As MI. Lind
say was out. the visitor was requested
to wait in an a~jacent room, where he
found a person busily engaged in copy
ing figures. The Sunderland ship
owner paced the room several times,
and took careful notice of the writer's
doings, and at length said to him :
"Thou writes 8 bonny hand, thou
dost."
81 am glad you think So" was the re-
"Ah, thou dost; thou machs thy
figures weel; thou'rt just the chap 1
want"
Indeed" said the Londoner.
eyes, indeed" said the Sunderland
man, I'm a man of few words; moo, if
thoul'lt come over to canny old Sunder-
land, thou seest I'll gle thee a hundred
and twenty pounds a year, and that's a
plum thou dost not meet with every
day in thy life, I reckon. Moo, then"
The Londoner replied that he was
much obliged for the offer, and would
wait till MI. Lindsay returned, whom
he would consult upon the subject.
Accordingly, on the return OF the lat
ter, he was informed of the ship.owner's
tempting offer.
every WE'LL" said Mr.. Lindsay; 81
should be sorry to stand in your way;
one hundred and twenty pounds is at
present more than I can afford to pay
you in the department in which you are
at present placed. You will find my
friend a good and kind master, and un-
der the circumstances, the sooner you
know each other the better. Allow me,
therefore, Mr.. --, to introduce the
Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, OF the Ez-
chequer."
MI. Gladstone had been engaged in
making q note of some shipping re.
turns for his budget. The Sunderland
ship. owner, you may be sure, was a lit
tie taken aback at first, but he soon re-
covered his self-possession, and enjoyed
the joke quite as much as Mr.. Glad
stone did.

BAYARD TAYLon's LAST POEM.
The old Hercynian forest sent

The old Hercynian forest sent
His weather on the plain;
Wahlwiakel's orchards writhed and bent
In whirls OF wind and rain.
Within her nest, upon the roof,
Fer generations tempest-proof,
Wahlwinkels stork with her young ones lay,
When the hand OF the hurricane tore away
The house and the home that held them.
The storm passed By; The happy trees
Stood up and kissed the sun;
And from the birds new melodies
Came fpting one by one.
The stork, upon the paths below,
Went sadly pacing to and fro,
With dripping plumes and head depressed,
For the thought of tho spoiled ancestral nest
Aud the old, inherited honor.
Behold he now J" the throstle sang
From out the linden tree,
Who knows from what a limo she sprang,
Beyond the unknown SCI? ?
'tR che could sing, perchance her tale
Might move us," chirruped the nightingale.
"Song? She can only rattle and creak"
Unlisted The bullfnch, with silver beak,
= Within the bars Of his prison.
And all birds there, or loud or low,
We're one in scoff and scorn;
BIZ. still the stork paced to and fro,
As utterly forlorn.
Then suddenly, in turn Of eye,
She saw a poet passing by,
And the thought in his brain was sn arrow o.
fire,
That pierced her with passion and pride ane
ire
And gave her q voice to answer.
She raised her head and shook her wings,
And faced the piping crowd.
'.Best SERVICE" said she, "never sings;
True honor is not loud.
NV kindred carol not, nor boast;
Yet We are loved and welcomed most,
And our ancient race is dearest and first,
And the hand that hurts us held accursed
In every home of Wahlwinkel!
"Beneath a sky forever fair,
u with 8 summer sod,
The land I COM from smiles-and there
My brother was a god!
My nest upon a temple stands
And sees the shine Of desert lands;
And the palm and the tamarisk cool my wing
When the blazing beam Of the MONDAY stings
And I drink from the holy river!
tsThere 1 am sacred, even as here;
Yet dare 1 not be lost,
When meads are bright, hearts full Of cheer,
At blithesome pentecost.
Then from my obeliskI depart,
Guided by something in my heart,
And sweep in a line over Lybian sands
To the poisoning olives of Grecian lands,
And rest on the Cretan Ida
"Parnsssus gees me as I sail;
I cross he Adrian brine;
The distant SUBMITS fade and fall,
Dsmaltian, Apennine;
The Alpine SHOWS beneath me CLEAN,
I see the yellow Danube stream!
But ! hasten on until my spent wings fal,
Where bring a blessing to each and all.
And babes to the wives Of Wahlwinkel"
She dropped her head and spake no more;
The birds on either hand
Sang louder, lustier than before
They could not understand.
Thus unused the stork, with snap Of beak:
"Better be silent than so speak!
Highest being can never be taught;
They have their voices, I my thought;
And they were never in Egypt"
