HARPER's MAGAZINE for February,
has its usual supply of interesting and
current articles. The opening article is
on "Bartram and his Garden" with
eight illustrations by the author. John
Bartram was Quaker who lived on the
banks of the Schuylkill, just out of
Philadelphia, in curious old house of
gray stone. He was a friend of Benz.
Franklin's, and correspondent of Lin
aus, the Swedish scientist. who pro-
nounced Bartram "the greatest of living
natural botanists." A paper upon "For-
eign Tips" is very amusing. "a Fa-
nous Breviary," bequeathed by the pa
triarch Giovanni Grimani to the Repub-
lie of Venice in 1893 forms the subject
cf a fascinating sketch. There are pa
pers upon washington as Burgher;"
"a Visit to San Marino;" "The Perche-
ron and Norman Horse;" Grub Stakes
and Millions;" Blackmore's "Mary An
erly" grows more absorbing, and VIM
Blacks white Wings" is continued.
There is short story of Mr.. Keeslei .
Horse-car," strongly suggestive of Ed
ward Everett Hale; "a Night in an Az
alanche," and Symposium of Wood En-
gravers." The Easy Chair and Editors
Table are as usual, excellent.

A CENTENNIAL AFFAIR.-A gather
ing took place on Tuesday, the sixth
inst, at the home of Mr.. Joshua Munroe
of this village, the occasion of which
was of a very interesting and somewhat
unusual character. It was a gathering
of friends and relatives who came
together to observe and do honor to the
hundredth birthday of Mr.. Joshua
Munroe. the hosts father, who was
born in Worcester county, Mass, on
the 9th day of Jan. 1880; of course in
the time of the Revolutionary war.
Three generations of this early New
Englander's descendants were here rep
resented, the children, the childrens'
children. and the great grand children.
Mr.. Munroe has a fine portrait iE oil OF
his father-a much priced possession
which naturally occupied the post of
honor on the occasion. being wreathed
with evergreeus and fianked on either
side by the dates. 17S0-1SS0, in orna-

features of this representative of a for

father was soldier of the Revolution

nignly upon his gathered posterity. A
substantial and old fashioned dinner
was set forth and partaken of, for which
the fatted turkey--meet representative
of New England-was killed. Mr..
Munroe read historical and genealog-
ical paper giving some account of the
eight generations of his family who
have lived in this country since the
stock originally came over from Scot

TWAS A BISHOP TOLD THIs.-At the
Bishops banquet in Chicago this good
story was told: The Rev. DR.. Parrott, of
Washington, was telling how a parish-
Toner of his had induced man of the
world to go to church with him to
hear the beautiful choral service of the
church. Said he: ''It;is really worth your
while. You are musician, and you
will be touched by what is beautiful. You
will like this better than concert" He
went and saw the majestic procession Of
the hymn, heard the grand roll of the
chant, and the lesson was read, followed
by the first canticle; and by the time
the preacher was reading the next
canticle he turned to his friend and said !:
"What do you think of it?" and he

Mr.. STEPHENS RETORT.-The fol-
lowing has been told in many ways and
from many quarters. but its true origin
has been almost entirely lost sight of,
and therein lies most of the pith.
There is no donbt but that Hon. Alex
ander III. Stephens, of Georgia, is the
smallest man, physically, that ever trod
the floors of Congress. He never ex-
ceeded hundred pounds in weight Of
bndy. His powers were all mental and
magnetic, and of those, as we know, he
possessed an abundance.
On certain occasion, while party
lines were closely drawn, and political
feelings were running high, Mr.. Step
hens was on the stump for Congress,
battling with Mr.. H of Green borough.
Stephens was Henry Clay man and a
Wing. What hope had he that he
could carry that old Democratic strong
hold? Yet he battled away. And it
was an odd and entertaining sight to
see the two contestants on the stand
together-Stephens five feet four inches
high, weighing ninety six pounds;
Major H.. six feet two inches high.
weighing two hundred and forty
pounds.
They WEI in the strongest part of the
Democratic camp; and here the major
INDUCED in bits of pleasantly which he
knew would be relished by his old con
stituency. Solid argument could not
have been of much use there. But
Stephens managed to get him heated;
whereupon the gigantic major turned
to his pigmy antagonist, and with
considerable of flourish, said:
why, you little wasy, could button
those big ears of yours back and swal-
low you whole!"
Before the multitude had time to
laugh at the coarse, rude remark, Steph
ems retOrted.--
"If you did that thing. sir, you would
have more brains in your stomach than
you ever had in your head!'
The untutored electors of those dis
tricts could understand and appreciate
a good thing. Stephens was elected to
Congress by over three thousand major
itys in district that had never before
favored one of his political stripe.

Precious darling, how love you,
Words can never, never tell.
And sorely dread the parting,
When you bid me say farewell.
had loved you long in secret,
Long before you cared or knew,
That my only hope depended
On the thought that you were true.
Yes, long before told my love
To you, In language soft and low,
In my heart of hearts abiding
Dwelt the wish that might know,
That all our future life woul be
One Of perfect harmony;
That He who governs all things right,
So arrange our destiny.
Yes, know that you would always be
On life's da rk and stormy sea,
The star to guide my bark to where
would always happy be.
And when told my love to you,
How you were to me my all;
How my every hope of future
lowered round you great and small.
And you were forced by cruel fate.
To deny my hearts request;
Still hoped the time would come,
When would gain the high bequest.
And that hope, though faint. still cheer'd
me,
AS battled with LIES waves;
Twas the beacon light to guide me,
Safe at last into the port;
But now. alas, my dream is DER,
u Now see that we mast part,
That to another one than me,
You have given all your heart.
And have no right to murmur,
To bewai1 my bitter lot.
Tho know another's won you,
And that must be forgot.
Then fare thee well, thou best loved one,
Go to him you love SO true;
May the God of peace be with you
No,u, torerermore, adieu.
