A Constant Constituent.

The Washington Post quotes the Hon.
S. s. Cox himself as authority for this
story:
One day, shortly after election, Mr..
Cox was seated in his study, hard at
work, when card was brought in. 1t
was rather rough looking piece OF paste
board, betokening that the owner was
not exactly of the cultured classes.
"Show the gentleman in,'' said Mr..
Cox, whereupon there appeared a rough
looking customer, clad in the garb of a
working man, who without waiting for
any ceremony remarked, interrogatively
sYour name is Cox?r
81 have the honor"
"S. s. Cox?"
s'The same''
Sometimes called Sunset Coxr'
sThat is a sou6r:quet by which I am
known among my more familiar friends" !"
"You formerly resided in Columbus,
O.?"
"That happiness was once mine.
Represented that district in Con-
gress?"
sI enjoyed that distinguished honor,
and, I may also add, at somewhat early
age"

"You have evidently read the political
history of your country to good pur-
pose, my friend"
"Then you moved to New York where
there was much better show for Dem
ocrat?'
"Well, my friend, your premise Is cor
rect; did move to New York, but your
conclusion is hardly admissible in the
form of necessary sequence. My rea-
sons for moving to New York were not
wholly political"
"We won't discuss that. After unsuc-
cessfally trying the state at large, you
availed Yourself of the opportunity af-
forded by the death of James Brooks to
move into his district"
II did. But let me- remark, my friend,
that my time just at this moment is very
much occupied. Your resume of my BIZ
ography, faulty as some of your deduc-
tions are in point of logic, is deeply in
terest1ng to me, and at time OF greater
freedom from pressing engagements 1
would be glad to canvass the subject with
you at length But just now being unu
sually busy even for me, must request
you to state the precise object of your
visit, and let me add that shall be glad
to serve yOu.'
II have no favor to ask. I am an ad-
mirer Of yours. I always vote for you
and always desire to do so. Icalled this
morning merely to inquire if you had se-

Once little trap was baited with some

And it tickled little mousie till it made him

SO he walked in boldly, nobody in sight,
First he took nibble, then he took bite

Once a little turkey, fond of her own way,

Soon like snow, her feathers covered all the
grass;
So she made supper for a sly young mink,
Cause she was so headstrong that she didn't

Once there was robin lived outside the

"No, no." said the mother, you must stay

Little birds are safest sitting in a tree"

Greeley's Sayings.

The sharpest OF the drollest things
came out Of Horace Greeley's mouth
with wonderful readiness and ease. For
instance, woman had been sending to
him verses, some Of which he printed,
and some of which he did not. She en-
ployed friend to call upon Mr.. Greeley
and to hint to him that pecuniary re-
muneration would be entirely accepta-
BILE. The plainest of plain speakers set
tied the matter at once. "Tell her, 3"
he said, ''that we should be willing to
pay her something for not sending us
any more!'

THE DAISY MAIDENS.

What a fiutter N the clOveri
Did the south wind passs
No.-a dear old woman's garments
Brushed it, aDd-alas!-
Six unmannerly young daisies
Giggled ia the grass
Alice, singing through the meadow,
Called to Grandma, "Seei
What chance for daisy facesl
Trust the desrs to me;
I will make them caps and ribbons
Neat as neat can be-"
While she deity clipped and pencled
Frill and frownieg faces,
six nncanny Daisy Grandmas
Blossomed out apace;
But the naughty Daisy Maidens
Died of the disgrace.

: > , Ny Dear Sir-I am truly
obliged for the compliment of your sup
port FOR the Legislature. Perhaps might
be Of some service In the next House, but
could not be nominated Ny views and
purposes being well known and being an
tagoui tie 20 The personal schemes OF the
men VINO control our primaries their COM
b.ucl strength would defeat me.
You have doubtless observed that those
who control our politics arc ak united
against me ana a. / can expect no person.
III reward Tor any act in the legislature,
and IS have no personal objects 10 attain
! viii rot exert myself or trouble my
friends 10 drum up votes. Judging from
the zeal and anxiety o: certain candidates
suspect ,hey anticipate q compensation
that jusliics their present activity. Tx
parleuCe has shown that such men are
more sOlicitous fOr their own individual
advancement than for the general well
fare. 10 has been my fortune 70 witness
good-lDal of political life aud paradoXi-
CO. a. il may sound, if arcally competent
man desires rapid promotion, rs politics
arc now conducted he should bctray the
true Interests Of his constituents by pre-
serving silence whenever those interests
come in conflict with the mOucy-makiug
scheme, Of influential bodies, and the rca-
son is this: those who are personally in
tcrcstcd will be active FOR hiedcicat, while
the great mass Of voter, Will not trouble
Themselves 90 attend the primaries. Hence
il results tpat the very characteristics
which should Dc the strongest rccoumeE-
datiou are in fact the very ones that eX-
c.Udes him from the public service. |
am sure shat man OF your Intelligence
and observation has observed that our
most successful place-huntcrsar are the men
who hang back and dodge responsibility;
those who 10 the lcas. for the public are
most rewarded.
trust you VIII 'considor me out Of tho
race and exert yourself 70 nominate men
Ike Lewis, Melvin, Isalc Strider. &C.,
who will not be influenced by PERSONAL
schemes. s+' Respectfully, &c.
