Stories with morals sometimes come in apt
ly enough in political discussions. That re.
minds me of story" was the usual preface
to Mr. Lncoln's pointed and pertinent illus
tratiOns of passing events And speaking Of
Garield's salary grab business and how he
covered" it back intoth treasury the follow
ing old anecdote is not Incorporates
On a certain occasion an old gentleman was
invited to fashionable dinner, and on the ia
BILE large pyramid of fruit had been placed
near the top of which had been inserted few
red peppers by way of ornament, Our friend,
not recognizing the pepper, and thinking it
was rare species of fruit helped himself to
one of the little pods, and, without examining
it closely, began to chew it. The first bite re
vealed its nature, but knowing /: would not
be exactly in accordance with the strict rule
of politeness to make any noise about it, he
hcroically kept 1t in his mouth, determined
to take advantage of the first opportunity to
dispose of it, In the meantime the heat from
the cayanne became lntulerable. Tears cours
ed down the old gentleman's cheeks, and his
agony was intense. Atlength, unable to stand
1t longer, he took the offending pod between
his fingers, and with a voice trembling with
emotion, said: Ladies and gentlemen, with
your permission, I'll put that id little red
thug back"
Mr.. Lincoln's stories IN their most piquant
polntedness never applied to his subjects more
aptly than this anecdOte does 10 Garfeld's sala-
nv "grab" and restitution. He held on to the
grab" to the last moment, and refused TO give
il up until scorched by the hot indignation of
his constituents. II was only then with trem-
bling voice, that he asked forgiveness of
those whom he had aided to pilfer, and agreed
10 put the ID little red thing back."-I6o-

LINES ON THE DEATH or LITTLE
GRANGER" II. X. PARK'S FAV-
OKITE HOUND.

No more along the turbid Fox
viii Granger's voice be heard;
Old Somonauk, Big Indian,
Nor Mission Creeks, he'll ford;
Those grounds that once he knew so well,
Where in the chase he led,
Will hear NO more his silver tones
For Little Changers" dead.
No more his bavinS notes we'll hear,
That charmed us when alive;
Upon the trail no more he'll lead
The rest OF the fayorite Ave.
"Old Rowdy," "Beardsley" and the Grey
In sorrow hang their head,
And seem to care no more to hunt,
Since Little Changers" dead.
Tie bugle call no more he'll heed,
1t will not bring him back;
He's gone beyond its echoing notes
The favorte of the Pack"
Thus one by one they pass away,
Like sunbeams that have fed
But sad indeed it is to think
That Little Changers" dead.
Twas poison did it, Hank, you say;
Alas, that such could be.
Well, d-n the man that had the heart,
Whoever he may be.
There are some men so small Of soul
And since the world began
That somehow seem to walk erect,
And mock the name of man.
Well, every dog must have his day,
Poor Granger, he's had his;
While other dogs in human shape
Are still allowed to live.
The hunters all, both far and near
His records in their head;
And gricyed indeed they all must be
To know that he is dead. j. ID. II.

Life, to some, is full of sOTrOw-
Half is real aud half we borrow
Full of rocks and full of lodges,
Corners sharp and cutting edges.
Though the joy bells may be ringing
Not a song you II hear them singing
Seeing never makes them wise,
Looking out from downcaSt eyes.
All in vain the sun is shining,
Waters sparkling, blossoms twining,
They but see, through these same SORROWS
Sad tO-days and worse tO-mOrrOws.
See the clouds that must pass over,
See the weeds among the clover
Everything and anything,
But the golden sunbeams bring.
Drinking from the bitter fountain.
LO your mole hill seems a mountain,
Drops of dew and drops of rain
Swell into the mighty main.
All in vain the blessings shower,
And the mercies fall with power,
Gathering chaff we tread the wheat,
Rich and royal, meath our feet.
Let it not be so, my neighbor,
Look up, as you love and labor
y OF for one alone woes vials
Every man his cares and trials,
JOY and pain are linked together,
Like the fair and cloudy weather,
May we have, oh, let us pray,
Faith and patience for to-day.

the term "four-penny," " six-penny and ten
penny means, as applied to nails. "Four-penny
means four pounds to the thousand nails, or e six
penny" means six pounds to the thousand and so

"ten-pound nails 1.-THE thousand being understood)

from that it degenerated until penny" was sub
