Unrest.

Like a thorn in the flesh, like a fly in the mesh,
Like a boat that is chained to shore,
The wild unrest OF the heart in my breast,
Tortures me more aud more.
| know not why il should wall and cry,
Like a child that is lost at night;
For il knows grief but has found relief
And it is not touched with blight.
IL has had Of pleasure full many a measure;
1t has thrilled with loves red wine;
1t has hope and health, and youths rare wealth
rich is this heart ofminel
Yet it is not glsd-it is wild and mad,
Like billow before its breaks;
And its ceaseltss pain is worse than vain,
Since 1t knows not only it aches.
1t longs to be like the waves of the sea,
That break from CONTROL and beat
And dash, and lunge, and hurry, and plunge,
And die at the gray rocks feet.
IL wearies of life, and il sckens of strife;
Aud yet il tires of rest.
Oh, know not why 1t should ache and cry
IT'S troublesome heart at best.
Tho not understood, thiAk tits a good
And god-like discomfort.
1t springs from the soul that longs for its goal
The source from which il was sent.
Then surge, breast, with thy wild unrest
Cry, heartl like a child at night
Till the mystic shore of the evermore,
Shall dawn on the souls gaid sight.

Jefferson's Manners.
[From the Youth,s Comnsnion. !

[From the Youths Compsnion.l
When Jefferson became president he car
ried his SIMPLE manners and taste into official
life. He determined that his Inauguration
the chief officer of the Republic should be
as free from display as possible. Dressed in
plain black clothes, he road on horseback To
the old Capitol, without guard or servant,
dismounted without assistance and hitched
his horse to the fence. On the steps he was
met by number of friends, who accom-
panied him to the Senate champer, where he
delivered his inaugural address. During the
administrations of General Washington and
John Adams the sessions of Congress had
been opened in a style similar to that by
which the English sovereign opens Parlia-
ment. The president accompanied by a
large escort on horseback, drove in state to
the Capitol. Taking his seat in the Senate
chamber, and the House of Represent
atives being summoned, he read his address.
Mr.. Jefferson, to whom such ceremonies were
distasteful, swept them all away by one act.
He sent written message to Congress,
which was read to both Houses by their re-
spective clerks, and that practice has been
observed ever since Against one of his re-
forms, however, the ladies of Washington
rose up en- masse. Mr.. Jefferson, disliking
Tile lcNccc WHICH udu Dctu uclu dI Tic w Hilc
House, abolished them. He established two
public days for the reception of company
the LIST of January and the Fourth of July.
On other days he was at home to all who
came on business or out of courtesy. Many
of the Washington ladies' indignant at their
social pleasures being thus curtailed, deter
mined to force the president to hold the
customary levees. On the usual levee day
they resorted in full dress to the White
House. The president was out taking ride
on horseback. On his return he saw that the
public rooms were filed with elegantly
dressed ladies. AT once divining the plot, he
appeared before his fair guests booted and
spurred and covered with dust. So court
eous was his reception of them, and so grace
full his manners that the ladies went away
delighted with the president, but chagrined
with themselves. They felt that they had
been guilty of rudeness in visiting guest
who did not expect them. 1t was their last
attempt to break through the rules of Jeffer-
sons household.

Young Julep, who is young man of
wide experience, says that hugging girl
with one of those fashionable broad belts
buckled around her is just as satisfactory as
hugging life preserver. All, well, Julep, it
can't be helped; it's one of the concomitants
of the degeneracy of the times. There didn't
use to be any such nonsense in belts. When
we were a boy, and you caught hold of
girl in big sleigh for a respectable but not
too formal squeeze, you could hear the corset
rods 60 one after another, like skirmish
line firing by the file. That is if you were
half a man, and did what was expected of
you But times have changed sadly since
then.

Washington Correspondents n. Y. Graphic.l
"What was that, Mr.. Shillington2"
at was the explosion of the big gun on
the Princeton about 1874. Commodore
Stockton came around here with his big ship
to give Congress and the administration an
excursion. The ship went down the river to
somewhere near Fort Washington, and there,
while most of the people were down in the
cabin partaking of collation., Stockton had
his big gun, called the Peace-maker, fired off.
1t burst, and one of the pieces killed Secre-
tary Upshur, while Secretary Gilmer was
crushed to a human wad. Two gentlemen,
named Gardiner and Maxey, were killed at
once. GARDENERS daughter afterward married
President Tyler. Commodore Kennon was
killed. Commodore Stockton was temper
arily blinded and Senator Tom Benton and
his servant were both knocked down and the
servant killed. Some people said that Benton
was little crazy always afterward..

TIE TASK OF THE FLOWER.

A little flower In beauty grew
Within a garden fair,
No wants its fragile leaflets kRew,
Twas watched with tender care:
Yet sorrow oft would tinge lite joy
For those whose hearts were sad;
Ii longed it's beauty to employ
And make their lives more glad.
One day twas culled and borne away
By careless hands aud small;
But soon was dropped, and dying lay
Unheeded in its fall.
IL sorrowed there with anguish sore,
Nolonger might Ii live;
Its fragrant life would soor be Ger,
No pleasure could IL give.
A mother saw IL lying there,
And bore IL home with joy,
To blossom in the garnet bare
Beside her cripple boy;
The child beheld IL with delight,
And all his love was won;
His pale wan face with smiles was bright
The fiow'ret's task was done.
