speak for hint Can any one say he did not advocate
the appointment Of Judge Robertson when he went to
Mentori And yet 1t is said he wants to dictate
to the President. Why does TIE TRIBUNE hold him mp
to contempt aud ridicnlc day after day. when he has
said and done nothing Why unless 1t believes unless
it knows, he has good cause to feel aggreved Ne is the
man who elected General Garf,ld After the defeat
Mime hhc had not ont and brough General Grant
with blr but II like Achilles he had remained IN hi,
tent, General Hancock would have been elected and
would have got 10000 majority In the state

when you here before you said to TRIBUNE
reporter that you out of politics. Did you really
mean thatr

"Why didn't you tell me9" said the

"Yes, SHALL" said Phebe; 81 shal

"You shall practice all over the

!" Didn't tell you, mother" said tri-
umphant Charley, "that you'd see
something to surprise your But you'll
be still more surprised when
"Charley, don't!" cried out Phebe,
roster than ever.
TYou needn't" said Mrs. Marchell,
looking from one to the other, =" can

''She's such darling, mother" said

TPHEBE'S FIDDLE.

81 think I'll take that one," said Mrs.
Marius Marchell, pointing with the end
OF her finger in one particular direction.
1t was quite little life picture-the
row of eager-eyed girls standing in the
stuffy little reception room OF the orphan
asylum at Bloomington, each clad in
her dingy gray stuff gown, with a green
Bingham bib.apron, and her hair cut
close to the head-a style of couture
which gave an undue predomincnce to
the ears, and would have made the d.
vine Venues dc Milo herself look like a
female pickpocket. just behind them
stood the matron, fat old woman with
crumpled hair, white cap, and three dis
tinct layers of chin, and a hungry dog
peeping n at the hall-open door, ccm-
pleted the tableau.
Deborah Dove, a stumpy girl of thir-
teen, with empurpled fingers and blunt
nose, sighed deeply; Sarah Jackson's
freckled countenance fell. The others
looked solidly about them, indifferent as
to Mrs. Marchell's preference or ne
glect; and little lgray-eye lassie at the
end of the line, who had been balancing
herself uneasily ON one foot, like crane,
started forward with q half-stifled cry
of delight.
"Phebe Locketv cried the matron.
"Phebe Locket, if that's her name"
said Mrs. Marchell, decidedly.
why, she's the smallest one of the
lot" said the matron.
She'll grow !" said Mrs. MarcheH.
"And the ugliest," added the matron.
And at her unconsidered words, poor
little Phebe WINGED and held down her
head as if some rude hand had struck
her.
Handsome is that handsome does, "
returned MIS-. Marchell, didactically,
4" Mrs. jerks. let the lady directress
know that have decided"
As Phebe Locket rode away in the
open farm wagon, sitting beside Mrs
Marchell's ample figure, the farmers
wife looked down and caught the cleal
eyes looking timidly up into hers like
wells of gray water.
"Come," said Mrs. Marchell. brusque
ly, "what are you thinking aboutP'
"Please. ma'am," said Phebe, wa

The friend who holds mirror to my face,
And hiding none, is not afraid 10 trace
My isults, my smallest blemishes, within;
Who friendly warns, reproves me If sin
Although il seems not SO he is my friend.
But he who, ever hattering, gives me praise,
Who neer Iebukes, nor censures. nor delays
To come with eagerness and grasp my hand,
And pardon me, ere pardon demand,
He is my enemy, although he seem my friend.
From The German.

At the Winter palace at st. Peters
burg there is room full of diamonds,
pearls and other precious stones. An
empress OF Russia is allowed 10 borrow
from this room, after givipsa receipt for
what she takes, and generally the grand
duchesses are allowed to borrow from
it also. The editor of London Truth re-
members once going into this room with
French diplomatic lady. She beat a
hasty retreat after one glance round, for
she felt that il she stayed her principles
would succumb to her admiration, and
that she would try to steal some of the
contents.

VOL. VIII.
The Lucky Horseshoe.

A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe in the road
And nailed il fast to his barn door,
That luck might down upon him pour,
That every blessing known in life
Might crown his homestead and his wife,
And never any kind OF harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire ill-fortune soon began
To visit the astounded man.
His hens declined 10 lay their eggs;
His bacon tumbled from tho pegs,
And rats devoured the iaileh legs;
His corn, that never failed before,
Miidewe and rotted on the floor;
His grass refused to end in hay;
His cattle died, or went astray;
In short, all moved the crooked way.
Next spring a great drouth baked the sod,
And roasted every pea in pod;
The beans declared they could not grow
So long as nature acted SO;
Redundant insects reared their brood
To starve Tor lack OF juicy food;
The saves from barrel sides went off
As il they had the hooping-cough,
And nothing of the useful kind
To hold together felt inclined;
In short it was no use to try
While all the land was in fry.
One morn, demoralized with grief,
The farmer clamored for relief;
And prayed right hard to understand
What witchcraft now possessed his land;
Why house and farm in misery grew
Since he nailed up that "lucky" shoe.
While thus dismayed DER matters wrong
An old man Glanced to trudge along, F.
To whom he told, with wormwood tears,
How his affairs were in arrears,
And what despente state oil things
A picked-up horseshoe sometimes brings.
The stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought it into view;
But when the old man raised his head,
He laughed outright, and quickly said:
a. No onder skies upon you frown-
You've nailed the horseshoe up ide down.
Just turn il round, and soon you'll see
How you and fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
And showers began to swell the ground;
The sunshine laughed among his grain,
And heaps on heaps piled up the vain;
The loft his hay could barely hold,
His cattle did rs they were told;
His fruit II lees needed sturdy props
To holi the gathering apple crops;
His tn nip and potato fields
AstoDished all men by their yields;
Folks never saw such ears OF corn
s in his smiling hills were born;
His barn was lull OF bursting bins
His wife presented him with twins;
His neighbors marveied more and more
To see the increase ia his store.
And now the merry farmer sings
There are two ways OF doing things;
And when for good luck you would pray,
Nail up your horseshoe the right way"
