THE seaaot.MASTER'S DREAM

A pedagogue sat in his strsfght-backeo cnAlt'
With a weary. hopeless LOOK,
4diusted his specs on the bridge OF MS nose,
And read from a learned book;
"wben the goats from the sheep are sew red
And The former are sent down below.
Tbrouub eternal years they must do the WORK
That caused them most earthly Woe
The book fell down from his neryeless hano,
And the weary eyelids closed:
The mice cropt cut and Dibblea tAe ieaNes, ID
While the reader quie ~ dozed.
He had strange dream; be thought himself
dead,e -
But not remarkably COOL
And en- gsed to Old MEX for million years.
To teach in district school.
Fifteen little imps. with hoofs and horns,
Was the charge he had to keep,
To instruct in III rats and manners and such,
And learning and everything deep
n, tansht them early and faught them late,
And said. with Old Niek's consent,
That each little imp showed taleut enough
To make him President
Rut wears passed on and his heart grew faint,
1t was more than he could bear
He knelt one night by his birthstone fire,
And prayed in his wild despair:
a. thought had earned right to heaven.
Lord isn't this pretty rough
To teach nine terms in an earthly school
l think is perdition enough.
His weeping ceseed dead calm fell
A light shone through the place.
And Gabriel stood by the teachers side,
Looking down with a plying face.
1T has been question above" Gaoe ssid,
As he picked his teeth with straw.
What to do with teachs II and Congressman
Who have broken the moral law.
"You'd make such bad-tempered angel, you
know,
Though your sins may sIl be forgiven,
You're a little 100 good fer place like this,
And Won never would do for heaven.
"If it wasn't for this, when you knocked At
the gate, .......
No matter how great your sin,
IF YOU told what your business was on eafth,
st. Peter would let you in.
I'VE think you have been in hot water SO long
That we'll give YOU something nice;
you may stake off a clsim in the Frigid Zone
And furnish this district with ice.
The dreamer avoke to find himself left,
With his feet on the ounces stool;
Next day he received formal discharge
For failing asleep in school.

WoMANs LoyB.-Man is the creature
of interest and ambition, says Irving.
His nature leads him forth into the world.
Love is but tile establishment Of his early
life, or song pipod in the intervals Of
tho acts. He seeks for fame, for fortune,
for space in tho worlds thought and
dominion over his fellow men. But
woman's whole life is history Of the
affections. The heart is her world it Is
there her ambition strives for empire
it is there her avarice seeks for hidden
treasures. She sends forth hor sympa-
thics on adventure sho cmbarks her
whole soul in tho traffic of affection, and
if shipwrscked, her case is hopeless, for
it is bankruptcy of the heart.

Some German b


In the town, says a German letter,
We noticed numberlesS peasants at
tired in funny costumes. Many wore
scarfs twisted in turban like fashion,
around their heads, aud long calico
double mantles or capes, gathered in
full around the neck and hanging
loose from the shoulders the under
one extended nearly to the bottom of
the dress, while the upper one, Orna-
mented with a wide rufie of the same
material, was a foot or so shorter.
Some of these under-caps are arranged
in a sort of a bag in front, in which it
is convenient for a mother to carry her
child. | might here add that the style
Of dressing German babies might not
be heartily approved by every Ameri-
can mother. Until the child is three
or four months old ii is carried around
in swaddling clothes. 1t is only al
lowed to have the, free use of its
hands and arms, its lower limbs and
waist being wrapped around by what
is styled a wicked band" If the
baby was consulted in regard to this
mode of dress it might inform us that
it did very well for winter, but that it
was a little warm for summer, and also
that it would really like 10 exercise its
lower limbs freely.
l counted thirty-six market women
just coming into town, all wore short
dresses and carried long, willow
baskets strapped on their backs many
were bareheaded, a few wearing long,
straw bonnets with only a mere
shadow Of a cap.

A PORTUGUESE ADVENTURE.
How He Worked Upon The Superstition

A London paper says
BY virtue OF the sentence passed by
a court-martial sitting at Granada. a
Portuguese named Jose de Costa has
just been shot for the murder Of a
police officer at Pinos-P uente. in the
province Of Granada. and the circum-
stances under which the crime wa
committed show how deeply rooted
superstition still is among the lower
classes in Spain. During several
months OF last year shafts were sunk

upon this employment than he told
the men who were working under

be crowned with success. Finding
that his statements were eagerly
accepted, he at length proclaimed
himself to be an inspired prophet of
God, selected twelve of the workmen
as his twelve apostles, aud appointed a
boy and a girl augur aud sybil. He

with many satlrlcal and humorous
illusions to brihe-taking and other
iniAuities. Even the osar himself
was handled without gloves, his acts
were fearlossly denounced and a pow
erful argument was adduced in behalf
OF the rights of his subjects. The
maladministration of law was set forth
in strong, plain language.
The book attracted general notice.
but this was bad for the author. He
was arrested and thrown into prison.

CIay and crittenden b Conrt.

Cor, Louisville News.l
1t was my happiness to see those
two distinguished orators appear in
the courthouse in Lexington, as op-
ponentS in the case of a will, made BY
a Mr.. Steele. Judge Simpson pre-
sided.
The courthouse was crowded by the
fame of the advocates. l suppose all
were friends and admirers of the two
orators. L certainly was, although |
thought Nh. Clay by tact and oratory
gained a decided advantage. On the
law points there was much that was
interlocutory between the two gentle
men, Mr.. Clay trying to perplex Mr..
Crittenden by questions. All this
was conducted in good humor between
themselves, and much to the amuse-
ment Of the crowd of listeners. Mr..
Crittenden made a defense Of the will
worthy of his acknowledged ability.
OF course the case in itselfwas a very
dry one, but when Mr.. Clay ap-
preached it fairly and fully, and came
to assign a reason why an old bachelor
uncle, n~eglecting all kindred beside,
should have made a niece the heiress
of his whole estate, then he dis
played a power of the most affecting
eloQuence, which | doubt if he ever
once excelled on any other occasion of
his life. The spring of the emotion.
that produced this gush of the purest
and most affecting eloQuence, was in
the development of the principle that
the human heart must have objects
for its affections. His own life had
but lately become more desolate by
the death of a favorite and lovely
daughter, Mrs. Erwin. / was sitting
near him, and regarded him with the
deepest interest. He showed that the
the niece, made heiress, had devoted
her whole time and love to her uncle,
and so had absorbed his affections. 1t
was therefore natural and reasonable.
as he maintained, that the uncle should
reward her affection and unwearied
devotion as he had done. As he spoke
of the hearts affections and the OBJ
jects Of its love, | could see his own
great heart dilating and heaving in his
swelling BOSOM, until he stood before
the court with his arms widely ex-
banded, his heart heaving and swell
ing with emotion, while his whole
face was suffused with a food of tears.
When he closed | said, | have this
day seen the greatest orator my eyes
ever beheld. He gained his case.
