Life of Charles Lever.

Mr.. Fitzpatrick's "Life of Charles Lever"
which the Harper's have promptly brought
out in their Franklin Square Library, is very
entertaining book, full of anecdote and remin-
iscences about the rollicking Irish author.
Levers personal appearance, as he was when
pursuing his studies, is thus described by one
of his early friends:
81 remember seeing about this time, in the
courts of Trinity College, Dublin, some eight
or ten young men gathering round a figure
that out-topped them; every now and then a
peal of hearty laughter burst forth from the
recoiling fromthe explosion of shell, and then
once more swarmed like bees round the CEN
trail figure This naturally attracted my at
tention, and / asked bystander what it was
all about. Oh J it's only Charlie Lever, all the
fellows are running after him like mad" /

was the first time l had ever seen the man,
who was the kindest and most true-hearted
friend any one could rely on. | approached
nearer, and must confess that the first super
fetal glance was not quite satisfactory.
saw, indeed, tall, athletic, erect and manly
figure, that never rested for moment, but
kept veering and lacking about, the head be-
ing fixed for an instant to deliver q shot at
some of the skirmishers who came to close
quarters, or thrown backward in hearty en-
joyment of some happy repartee but this tg-
ure was clad literally from head to foot, with
the sole exception of his boots and as much OF
his shirt as was visible, in one uniform suit
of Lincoln green, cut after German fashion

woodland paths in search of wild flowers, Wis
iting the church with her uncles, cousins, and
aunts, to listen to the inspired words which
came from the lips of the minister of the sane

ings, was ever observed to accompany her."
1t is stated that, when the pause in the SEN
tence came, the secretary, who had read it
without an inspiration, resumed his stolid,
diplomatic countenance, and all mirthfulness
had departed from the faces of that once hap
py company.-Dehon Free Press.

to catch glimpse of his head. In this 1 only
partially succeeded, for Lever then wore a
profusion of long hair hanging in wavy curls
over his neck. After time, indeed, I caught
a good view of his wonderfully expressive
face, his kindly smile. his brilliant though
somewhat deeply-set eyes, that sometimes
flashed fire and then again twinkled with mirth,
but am not portrait painter, and the i'm
preston made by that same face when saw
it for the last time one afternoon in June,
1871, is still so wildly and regretfuly i'm
pressed on my memory that cannot even at
tempt to describe what it was in all the glow
and fervency of youth, strength and hope all
can say is that the old face was to me
equally attractive as the young one had been
and its expression was, although chastened
and overcast even then by the shadow of death
more affectionate and tender than ever. Thai
last loving look can never be forgotten"

Secretary Evarts and Mnry's Little Lamb.
Few poems have been more generally adj
mired or Photographed in the various tongues
of earth than that commencing with the lines
Its fleece was white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went

And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was shure TO CO.
Well, the story is now current, at the ma
tional capital, that the distinguished secretary
of state, when recently in a jocular crowd of
his friends, was desired to condense into prose
these immortal verses. Urgently solicited,
Mr.. Evarts yielded and wrote as follows:
Mary, female judge to be of the race of
man, whose family name is unknown, whether
of native or foreign birth, of lofty or lowly
lineage, and whose appearance, manner, and
mental cultivation are involved in the most
profound mystery which probably never will
be fully ascertained unless through the most
profound researches of a historian admirably
trained in his profession, who shall devote the
ablest efforts of his life to the investigation of
the subject uninhuenced by either passion or
prejudice and having only in view the sacred
truth, at the same time being utterly regardless
of the plaudits or censures of the world, we
are informed by one who, it has been stated,

United States of America known as Massachu-

General Butler.

General Butler is performing his first
work, after being received into full fell
lowship in the democratic party, in this
State. The General has of course left his
Ku-Kux exhibition al home this time, and
won't say anything about the democratic
methods in the South of counting minor
ity into majority on election day. In re-
gard to the General and his new found
friends the sedate Providence Journal has
this to say:
1T was remarked that one of the chief
pains to the mind OF Tom Pinch, after he
had discovered the hypocrisy of Mr..
Pecksniff, was that he was compelled to
think of him as he never was and had not
the poor satisfaction of justification for his
former admiration. 1t may be doubted if
there is not keener dissatisfaction when
the circumstances are reversed and an in
dividual who has been pet aversion and
the object of indignant and sincere vitu-
peration, is compelled by the exigencies of
politics to be accepted as companion
and associate, and defended and eulogized,
instead of being abused. Tho democratic
party is in that unfortunate predicament
in regard to its latest convert, Gen. Bat
Ter, and the agony of Tom Pinch, when
his image of Mr.. Pecksniff fell to the
ground, is tritiing compared with that of
the democratic press, which has to put up
the bust of the eN-Beast Butler
among the gods of its temple. He
has embodied all that was hateful to
the Northern democracy as a renegade
and to the Southern as a tyrant and OPP
pressor. He has been held up as the type
of the republican party. his extravagan-
cies assumed as his principles, and his
character charged as that of representa-
tive. All this has now to be sunk in OBJ
livion. The democracy of Massachusetts.
which denounced him rs a pirate for TAX
ing possession of its convention by force,
now receives him in similar convention
with spontaneous uproar of cheers; and
the democracy OF the South, which has
sworn again and again that he was the
one nniorgiveable enemy. will have to
affiliate with him in spite of its murmurs
1t is tough case. and might lead one To
almost suspect that, in that grim humor
which he possesses, and in the desire to
inflict the last humiliation upon his enc
mics. ten. Batter has ioineh the demo-
cratic RINK to compel his villifier5 to eat

As the embodiment of all that is worst in
politics. Whatever disappointment he
nav meet with in his political schemes.
he will have that satisfaction anyhow. and
to a person of Buffers temperament it
will be a very considerable one."
