MY BOY.
BY ALICE ROBBINS.

Little Tip was a tumbler; not g
glasy tumbler, though he might, per-
haps, be truly called an earthen one
His peculiar vocation was to make a
wheel of himself, by which he an
noyed unprotected women and chill
dren. He would tumble over and
over the entire length of tho street,
bobbing his bead and holding out bis
hand for pennies between every som-
ersault.
Poor Tip! he got more kicks and
bruises than pennies. Not that the
ladies-gentle hearts-ever repulsed
him with rudeness, but the policemen
did.
To them, poor little Tip, with his
shock of untidy hair, his fearful eyes
and active legs, was simply nui'
sauce, and must be put down. As to
bis being human bit Of flesh and
blood, don't suppose such an idea
ever came into their heads. It was
their duty to keep him down or up;
for he contrived to be on his head
half Of bis life, and was great trial
TO them.

OF the brig lay through a hlsslnl
rushing. tumbling surge, with rock
still on every hand, And there stoo
tho fair pilot, her keen eye flashing
her fiaely ehiseled nostrils dilated, an
her noble torn drawn proudly ap
flor orders were prompt and assured
and confidence was Ia every lock an'
tone,
At length the vessel entered into
narrow lStrait, mol over mile Wide
aud the eourse was direct, II wa
tho mainland, Argyle upon the right
and the Island of Soil upon tho lett
In half an hour more the strait wal
passcd-anolher group Of rocks wa
cleared--aud yet the gallant bark flew
safely on over the storm and sea-
Stand by the braces cried Flora,
now showing little excitement
mind your helm. Round In careful,

Others ,aut. Helm a'port. Essy-
easy"
The brig bowed TO the wind most
iearihlly now that her side was pre-
sentcd TO il, and her masts bent like
roods-bnt she tailed not. A high
promonlory was paSscd-and in a
few moments more the deep labor
ceased. The brig righted. the masts
grew straight, and tho sails had done
straining. The water moved only in
long swells, aud rs the mon looked
ahead through tho falling rain, they
saw the smooth haven stretching
away up into tho land-a haven into
which the northern storm.dcmon
could not come, and where the weary
bark could be at rest. IL was long,
narrow inlet of Kilmore.
At length the sail was takon oil,
the anchors dropped, and then the
men crowded about their fair pilot to
bless her for the service she had done
them. But she asked not their thanks,
though she could not refuse their
gratitude.
4 have saved my father, she said,
'and he is all in all TO me. Let us 60
on shore now
But not in the storm, urged the
captain.
Yes persisted Flora. we are
not at home here, but on the shore /
shall find sheltering roof and arms
open to receive US.
Captain Thornbill felt too grateful
to make any objections, and he had
q boat lowered at once.
God bless you,' said he. as he
grasped Flora oy the hand 'and
when in time to come, we cali each

something of the triendllness towards

And to you Donald Kenmore, let me
say, God grant that may never meet
you again when the duty of my STA
ton could make you my enemy.
Farewell
And in q few moments the snug
gler and his child were on their way
to the shore. A shelteriug roof soon
stretched its protection over them,
and warm friends welcomed them to
the freside.
Donald Kenmore and John Thorn
bill never met again, for the old man
had money enough, and when his
noble daughter, shortly after the dar-
ing adventure we have recorded, gave
her hand and heart to the man who
had loved her long and truly, he
found home with them.

ING no blow or buster. To the oft-re-
peated question, "Will you carry lndi-
aua?" he makes no reply, but, quiet
and silent, and with the watchiulness OF
a cat, he goes on with his work. This
is the more significant because the Re-

them to no one. But he is at work, one

is his workshop. Ii is said that the

who know the character and past life Of

APOET'S WIFE.
The Recent Death OF Mrs. John
G.. Saxe-Her Husbands Poet
II Trihnta

The Recent Death OF Mrs. John
G.. Saxe-Her Husbands Poet
ic Tribute.
The wife OF John G. SAKE, the poet,
died at their residence in Brooklyn, n.
Y, July 81, at the age Of 80. She was
the daughter Of Judge Solace, OF Brid-
port, VT, and cousin OF Judge Bos.
worth, OF New York. She was Chris.
tisn woman OF great excellence OF char
acter and rare endowment. Unselfish
devotion to duty was her ruling char
acteristic, and her fine natural constitu-
ton at last gave way under its extraor-
binary burdens. Two beautiful daugh-
tiers, fading and dying Of consumption
health of other children, and, finally,
the protracted illness OF her husband,
all wore upon he naturally buOyant
spirit, and, almost without Fremont
ton, the light OF the household went
out At the funeral, the officiating
clergyman gave il as the testimony Of
her doubly afflicted husband, that, after
a companionship OF forty years, he re-
garded her as the most unseltish person
he had ever known.
IL is we'll known to the intimate
friends of the family that she was the
poets ideal of female excellence and
loneliness, and this may be traced like
"A golden thread throughout his poems.
We can make room for but few Illus
trations.
In volume OF his poems, published
in 1873, Mr.. SAKE presents this dedica-
ton:

Hon. Albert A. Lewis.

Weston Democrat.
While sincerely regretting the defeat
OF our townsman at the Beverly Con.
vention, for the position to which he so
honorably aspired, and for which he
made such a gallant fight, we desire TO
congratulate him ami the host Of friends
who rallied so firmly around his stand.
ard, and supported him to the last.
But for the rule which appears to have
been adopted by the Democracy OF the
various counties, in applying the idea
OF rotation to the Senatorial nomina-
ton, Mr.. Lewis would certainly have
been our next Senator. In placing Mr..
Farnsworth before the people, the Con-
vention intended simply to carry out
the principle mentioned above-and
not to defeat Mr.. Lewis. Even as it
was, Mr.. Lewis came within so few
votes of gaining the nomination that
the number necessary TO secure him
the honor, could have been counted up
on the fingers OF one hand.
Mr.. Lewis, as a Democrat who ad-
here's to the usages OF the party, gives to
the nomination OF Mr.. Farnsworth his
cheerful and hearty support. In the
hour OF defeat, as well as in the flush
of victory, Mr.. Lewis stands firmly by
the DEGREES of the Democracy.
The evident popularity of Mr.. Lewis
in AL the counties OF the District, en-
sures to him in the not far-distant future
position OF equal, ii not greater digni.
ty, than that to which he aspired.
