Our H0lneste ad.
BY PHOEBE CARY.

Our old brown homestead reared its walls
From the wayside aloOt, E
Where the apple boughs could almost cast
Their fruitage on the roof;
ana The cherry tree so near 1t crew.
Then when awake PVe lain
In the lonesome mic hts and heard the limbs
As they creaked against the pane;
And those orchard trees; oh, those orchard
I've seen my little brother rocked
In their tops by the summer breeze. #,r
The sweetbrier upon the window sill,
, Which the early birds made glad,
And tbs dark damask-rose by the gardentence
Were all the flowers we had. 81
I've looked at many flower since them,
Far brought, and rich. and rare, -
To other eyes more beautifuls
But none 10 me so fair;
For those roses brighton, those roses bright,
I've twined them with my sisters locks,
That are laid in the dust from sight.
We had we'll, deep old well,
Where the spring was never dry;
And the cool drops down from the messy
stones q rs -
Were falling cOnstantlY; N @as ~
And there never was water hall so sweet
As that in my little cup,
Drawn up the curb by the rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up;
And the deep old well-oh, that deep old well!
remember yetthe splashing sound
OF the bucket as 1t fell. @
Our homestead had an ample hearth,
Where at night We loved to meet;
There our mothers voice was always kind,
And her smile was always sweet;
And there I've sat on my fathers knee
And watched his truthful brow,
With my childish hands in his raven hair
That hair is silver now!
But that broad hearth's light-oh, that broad
hearth's light!
And my fathers look and my mothers smile,
They are in my heart tonight.

Englishmen Who Have Left Large

some use to somebody at last, as he left

ever left behind him by an English peer,
although it has been surpassed by many
mercantile men. The late duke of Cleve-
land, who left over million sterling.

garded as the Cresus par ercellencc, left
but $4,000,000. No Englishman has yet
come within SIC, 100000 of Mr.. Brassey,
the great contractor. Mr.. Morrison, of
Fore Street Morrison, Dillon s. Coz
comes nearest with $4,000, 900, and, hav-
ing regard to the extent of his landed
property, was probably the wealthiest
Englishman who has ever made his own
fortune. For several years before his
death he conceived himself to be on the
verge of poverty. He left his eldest son
legacy of one million sterling, the only
such legacy on record in the London pro.
bate court.
It is pleasant circumstance to record
that all the sons of Mr.. Brassey and Mr..
Morrison have turned out we'll. Two of

equally beWeen his three children (sons).
Mr.. Morrison left the largest share to the
eldest, some $150,000 year to the next,
and between $500U0 and 100000 year
to the other sons. To the daughter

Two Anecdotes of the Second Empire
Paris Letter to New Orleans ptcayune.

Paris Letter to New Orleans Picayune.
Granier de Cassagnac has begun to
publish memories of the second empire.
They are already extremely interesting.
He was IN the green room during the
whole performance Of the imperial drama,
and few if any secrets were withheld
from him. He tells very amusing an
ecdote of Theirs and Mole. They pressed
Louis Napoleon to cut off his mustache
as the surest way to secure his his elec-
ton to the Presidency, ''for now the civil,
not the military element is to the fore
most. See, neither of US wears beard"
Here is another very characteristic anec
dote: I'm 1S48 he charmed the WON en-
of Faubourg st. Antoine with his good
nature. He had come incognito to Paris
and visited the ruins which Gen. Cava-
ignac's cannon had made in this quarter
of Paris. 1t was the Goth Of June, dur
ing the truce which General Cavaignac
had granted the insurgents. The woman
of Rue dies Faubourg St. Antoine, less
fanatical and more practical than their
husbands, brothers, or children, were at
once busy demoIishing barbados.
While they were at work they saw walk
ing up the street, walking calmly and
slowly in consequence of the obstacles of
all sorts which encountered the street, a
man leaning on friends arm. He
wore delicate straw colored, gloves, car
ried cane, and observed them as they
demolished barbados. Annoyed both
by his aristocratic dress, bearing, and his
air of security, the women screamed al
him, "Look here, you dandy! ''you had
better help us put these paving s.ones in
their old places instead of idly sauntering
about as you are doingI" He replied
"You are right, aunty; l have come tC
Paris for the very purpose of trying to re
establish order, and it is perfectly right tina
should help you in your work of paci
fication." He stopped, slowly drew OF
his gloves, gave them and his cane to hi
friend, took a paving stone, fitted it IL
its hole, steadied it there width fou1
handtuls of sand, then put on his gloves
took his cane and walked off, bowling Il
the women as he went They applaudec
him and laughed heartily.
