And the builders mark that the castle bore
Was Eighteen-eghty, set over the door.
The park was adorned with stalwart trees,
With tops that waved in the popular breeze,
And many Confederate Brigadiers
From spreading limbs were hanging in tiers.
The steps were formed OF the homes Of the slain
ID up for the purpose by James &. Blaine.
The gate, which opened and shut at his will.
Was the gate Ol the prison ut AndersOnylle'
The curtains were made Of galizy tissue,
Now known as the latest Southern Issue,
And the tapcstried walls displayed with skill
The abest work of the outrage Mil.
A terrible banner OF cardinal hue
Replaced the flag OF the red, white, and blue;
The walls were cemented With sectional hate,
And the biggest room held Il chair of State.
But although the castle grew amain,
Till it filled the eye OF James G. Blaine,
a skeleton some were heard to say,
In secret closet hid away.
The skeletons bones were made of stock
And it bore the brand of Little Rock,
And though it was carefully bound with letters,
1t held in its hand the Mulligan Letters
Now, many would never wonder at all
If that airy castle should fade or fall
In the sun and storm of the next campaign,
To the great disgust of Janus G. Blaine.

DOMESTIC VIRTUE,

) By domestic virtues do not mea,
simply that training which results il
well-ordered housekeeping as the pre-
paration of tempting dinner, the
maintaining of clean kitchen, the
pretty decoration of the parlors, OF
thoughtful espionage over rebellious
shirt-buttons. Those are certainly yir-
tues that none of us can afford to IN
derestimate. Indeed, sirs, we cannot be
sufficiently thankful on that score.
Let us confess it with becoming humil-
ity, and in the proper spirit of graft
tude for material blessing.
The woman of domestic virtues is to
her husband and children the object of
interest and admiration, as well as of
love. Her gentle yet firm administra-
ton OF home affairs is never question

to plan, and hers the deft hands to ex-
