What happiness is, in idle vein,
Scarce looking for answer; and it tasked
And puzzled her childish brain.
She stood with her hands close clasped behind
AS though she was gravely turning DER
Her budget of baby-thoughts to find
An answer among their store.
Her brow was knit with a thoughtful frown,
And her crimson lip had a pretty pout
While her eyes looked up and her eyes looked
down.
Determined to find it out.
When suddenly over her radiant face
There lowered flashing smile whose glow
Like rosebud burst to a roses grace,
And she eagerly cried, Il knowp'
It's halving the peach. You gave me one,
AS yesterday out on the grass we sat:
And shared it with Bess, for Bess had none;
And m certain it must be that"
Dear child! you have taught as could moi

OF the Secretaries had an audience with
the Sheikh I'll Islam, who, at the mo-

the devotee finished prayers, which
were ended by an invocation to Allah

Galignani, "of Prince Alexander, of

rather staid and literary tastes, paid a
visit to Berlin last summer, and re-

our readers are aware, form an integral
part of every grand reception in the
Prussian capital, but Prince Alexander,
with little inclination for soldierv, sat
in silent contemplation while the troops
were defiling before him. All at once
the Crown Prince drew his guests at
tention to Uhlan regiment, with the
remark that they were a fine body of

reply, delivered with the traditional
Dutch phlegm, little surprised his

upon him, the belief is universal that a
member dwells upon . fiowery beds OF

but make speech occasionally and
y. draw $4,000 per year.
A more erroneous idea never pre-
vailed. A member of Congress who at
tends properly to the needs of his dis
trict and the calls of his constituents
has but little time for pleasure or rec
reation. He is one of the hardest
worked men in this country. Years
ago, when the population was smaller,
when mail facilities were of the stage
coach order, and when but few citizens
had anv business with the public de-
partments at Washington, Congress
men had not great deal to do: Their
constituents seldom came 10 the Capt.
tai, because the trip was tedious and
expensive. Letters were few and FAR
between, and there were but few pen
ssions and claims to look after. Then
the M. C.'s gave themselves up very
flargely to pleasure. In those days
cards, horse racing and cock fighting
were popular amusements with the Ma
tionai legislators. Ever since the war

members have been growing until now

One Too Many.

JERRY r. GEORGE, New Jersey Cen
trail Railroad conductor, was married
in Newark a few days ago to Miss Ad-
die S. Ellis. Both are residents of
Dover, N. j., and the marriage was
performed in the house of George
brother. Miss Ellis was expected to
marry Mark Roy, of Hunts Mills, Sus-
sex County. She had lived at Andover,
near by, and the acquaintance between
her and Roy was formed there. When
she moved to Dover last spring The be-
came acquainted with George; he sang
in church choir, of which she became
a member. Miss Ellis mother, it is
said, favored a union between her
daughter and the conductor but Miss
Ellis remained loyal to Ter Sussex
County swain. just before the holt
days she wrote to him that she would
spend Christmas week with her aunt,
and they could then get married. On
the morning of the I'd inst. Mrs. Ellis
received information from her absent
daughter containing the information
that she was to be married that evening
to Roy. Mrs. Ellis was equal to the
emergency. She ordered her coach
man to hitch the horses to the family
carriage, and sprang into it as soon as
the team made its appearance at the cot
tage gate. Then she drove rapidly to
the house of the aunt whom her daugh-
ter was visiting. She called Addie out,
and when Addie had appeared in re-
spouse to her call, invited her to get
into the carriage for brief consulta-
ton. The young lady had no sooner
been seated than the door was slammed
shut, and the whip was applied to the
horses. Miss Addie screamed and Roy
gave chase. His sweetheart put her
hand out of the carriage-door, and Roy
seized it, refusing obedience to the
mothers demand to let go. The fear
that her daughter might be hurt led
Mrs. Ellis to consent to halt, and all
went into the house. Mrs. Ellis was
surprised to learn that all arrange
ments had been made for the immed;-
ate performance of the wedding cere-
mony. The minister was in the parlor,
and friends had gathered to witness it.
The plighted pair consented to a post
ponement of the nuptials, and Miss
Addie, promising to write on the fol
lowing Sunday, fixing the time and
place for the marriage, returned to her
home in Dover. Monday came, but the
expected letter did not reach Roy. He
went to Dover to see his affianced, but
was refused admittance. Then he went
to George and tried to persuade him to
recognize his claim to Miss Addie' s
hand and heart. George would not
read the letter which he produced in
confederation of his story. He would
not even listen to the story itself. The
next morning Miss Ellis left Dover, and
the next feature of the case which be-
came public was the published notice
of her marriage to her railroad sutton
at Newark. N. Y Times.

Child Traffic in Hong Kong.

On the most recent occasion of his
passing sentence on prisoner con-
victed of kidnapping, the Chief Justice
of Hong Kong evidently saw no reason
to imagine that the traffic in children
is less than was estimated, or that the
institution of slavery is less extended
than it has been stated to be. There
being from 10000 to 10000 slaves on
the island, it is not surprising to find
that pretty well understood salable
value for the chattels has been deter
mined. In the case last before the
court, the market price of stolen
child, warranted sound like horse"
was fixed by competent Judge" at
800. AS His Honor suggested, it can
hardly be wondered at that poor
wretches who go to the colony should
readily snatch at any chance Of obtain
ing 800 so easily, especially, as is
added with fine ircny, in view of 1.-the
morality prevailing in that part of the
world. Philadelphia Times.

How John A. Bentley Rates Himself
how John A Bentley Rates veteran soldiers.


We find the following words, at the close of the
Commissioners report to the Secretary of the In
terror page s--the last recommendation he sug-
gests:
That the salary of the Commissioner be increased to
10000" JOHN A. BENTLEY"
Mr. Bentley's salary now is $4,000. Well, we
discover turning to the evidence taken before the
committee appointed by the House of Represents
tives to examine the Pension Office, in the appen-
dix to the pamphlet of testimony taking ratings of
soldiers, &c, on page g. that William j. Hammond
of Co. A. Fifty-ffth Pa Volunteers, is rated on his
arrears by John A. Bentley for fourteen gears of the
time, for which arrears due at So per month";
while his surgeon, DR. w B. Lowman of Johns
town, Pa, rated him at So per month Now, is this
Commissioner of Pensions, John A. Bentley, who
never served day either in the army or navy and
desires his salary nearly doubled, while he cuts
down soldiers to one-haf or one-fourth as much,
their surgeons considered them justly entitled to, is
he the man on whom soldiers and should rely
for any bill for their benefit?
In conclusion, soldiers, if you really think the
Commissioners salary should be increased, if you
think his Sixty Surgeon Bill should be adopted
if you oppose his increase and his bill write at
personally or through influential friend to your
member of Congress expressing yonr sentiments
upon the subject.
