The History of TWO Poems.
From the PhIade'phia Times.

"CURFEw MUST NOT RING TO NIGHT"
The story is based OH an incident in Eng
lish history. Basil Underwood, young sol
dier. is condemned to die at Curtew's ring
ing. Friends mad lnterceded for him invaln.
His betrothed has gone TO the stern judges
and asked that her lover be spared until she
could see Cromwell, but her efforts were flu
tile. She even attempted to bribe the deaf
old sexton, but he also denied her peadings,
and as the hour of her lovers approaching
death drew nigh the stern executioner, lis
tening for the signal from Curfew, listened
in vain-
"Curfew did not ring that night"
And so the pretty poem tells its own story.
English history tells the story OF the ring
ing of the Cufew-the tollirs Of which
meant that the inhabitants were compelled
to bank their fires, put out their lamps and
retire to rest at nghtfall, at which hour the
bell was rung.
The poem is the labor of Miss Rosa Hart
wick, now Mrs. Z. e. Thorpe, of Litchtield
Michigan, and was frst brought to light ii
about October, 1870, in the Commercial Ad
rertiser, Detroit, Michigan. Mrs. Thorpe
has written many other beautiful poems, bu
none so touching as Curfew, and none have
attained its widespread popularity, 1t beins
favorte stock piece with all good elocu-
tionists.

Clumsy Newspapers.
Holuoke Paper World.

The palm for large-sheet newspaper should
be borne Off by the Publishers of the Steuben-
vile Herald, which is by far the largest sim
gle-sheet newspaper that comes to our edito-
rial table. 1t is handsomely printed folio
sheet three feet by four feet eight inches i'm
size, each of its four pages containing twelve
columns. Its intensity puzzled us twice in
one breath, the first conuudrum being as to
how long the arms of the man are who makes
up the forms, and the second As to how its sub
scribers manage 10 read it. Goliah of Gath
might possibly have performed the first oper
atien safely, the second Is as yet without
any satisfactory solution to our inquiring
mind. Our plan would be 10 nail it up on
the side of alarge barn, and read 1t from the
risers of step-ladder, or from a pair of NOV
able stills. A hycicie might possibly answer
the purpose.
A boom for large-shcet newspapers, or q
great number of sheets al one issue, may
perhaps rage during the days Of our present
generation, but let us hope that the time Is
not far distant when we shall have more Of
our newspapers In condensed form, more
Of the extract and less OF the diluted essence
Of daily, more paiai able and set better on the
public stomachs than the soups and gruels Of
the present fashion. The extended plan OF
to-day is Al excellent one FIR paper mauufac-
tnrrrs and waste-paper "a. hrreEs, but whether
any one else Is blessed or benefited by the
foot-b5-foot sheets h IN open question.

STANDING ALONE.

"The baby is standing all lony"
The children shout In their glre-
And father and mother and auutie
Must hurry and come to see.
SO baby-the cute little darling!-
Is put throught he wonderful feat,
And fondled and kissed aDd commended
For being so smart and sweet.
With the cunningest Air of triumph
She stands in the midst of us all
While the outstretched arm of her mother
Is ready to save IA fall,
And whenever the little one totters,
Around her il hastily thrown;
'TiS very fine fun-thinks the baby
This frolic of standing alone!
All, many time in the future
She'll long for the aid of that arm,
When the love and the care of n mother
No longer can shield her from harm
For oft when our need il the sorest
There's no one to whom we can turn
And standing alone IN IA lesson
'ris hard for "A woman to learn.
And often and over, my baby,
Before life's long journey Is gone,
You will yearn in your hours of weakness
For something to lean upon.
When the props upon which you depended
Are taken away er o'erthrown,
You will find it wearisome baby
So weariSome. standing alone.

Brigham Youns's Grave.
Salt Lake Letter.

An ill-looking stone wall, about six feet
high, incloses an area of nearly an acre. A
carriage gate constructed of rough, unpainted
boards stood ajar, and l entered. Fully one
quarter of the inclosure is rented off by a
second stone wall on one side, and in the
southeast corner of the sub-inclosure Brig
ham Young rests in final repose. A huge slab
of granite lying flat on his grave and high
railing OF iron are all that meet the eye, save
the walks aud sward of the little cemetery.
There is no inscription of any kind-not even
his name. Outside of Brigham's personal
graveyard the grounds are so shabby that
they might be taken for a dumping place for
garbage. In one corner of this outer ceme-
terry are four or five neglected graves-possi-
bly, those of his departed wives. Still an
other grave al that quarter Is marked. At its
head is an unpainted pine board, OH which
appears the name of Z. l. Young" Under.
meath the name some wag has plainly written
with a pencil: "We are laboring for the
kingdom of God, gentlemen" The Nor
mons pay little respect to the resting places
of their dead.

Beaconsfield's ImperturbabiiI b iiItv.
London Lancet.

London Lancet.
Under ordinary circumstances, Mr.. Disra-
eli would sit for long stretches of time du-
ring the violent or terribly irritating attack
of political opponent, with nearly closed
eyes, as though asleep. When the onslaught
waxed furious, he would, as though with all
engrossing intent, fix his gaze at the toes Of
his boots, moving.them slowly so as bring
all points under observation. If the taunts
or reproaches hurled at him were of such q
nature as to make any other man furious, he
would straighten himself and brush some
particles of dust from the front of his but
toned frock coat, or from the sleeve Of his
left arm. Then he would examine his
nails, and, as climax, when few statesmen
so assailed could avoid some token of emo
tional restlessness, he would, perhaps, take
out his single eye-glass, and, fixing IL firmly,
look for an instant at the clock In the front
Of the gallery opposite Mr.. Speaker, drop
ping the glass with one quick elevation of
his eyebrow.

A WANDERING BOX.
An Express Package That Has Visited Every
State in the Union.
!Seda!id BdzOO.

Sedhtd BdZoO.
One day during the past week there arrived
for Express Agent FauIhaber box about
l2x15 inches in size, which apparently came
from the North. 1t was apparently old nd
battered, and contained an old jelly cake
well wrapped up in tissue paper, on which
was the following Inscription: "Ths cake
was baked January %, 1877. Pass it
along"
This box was opened and Mr.. +. and his
assistants gazed in speechless amazement at
Its contents The cake was well preserved.
though as dry as Egypt and as hard as the
heart of Pharaoh, and notwithstanding the
fact that it had been on the road for years it
had a wonderfully innocent appearance.
The box was ornamenLed in every availa-
BILE spot with labels from the different COM
panies through which it passed; for each
agent to whom it had been consigned had
paid the charges (ffty cents), and, appecia-
ciating the joke, remarked the box and sent
il forward to some other point. Thus the
labels showed conclusively that the package
with its precious contents had visited every
State i'm the Union from Maine to Texas and
Oregon to Florida, and it is probably DOOM
ed to be a const ant wanderer upon the face
of the earth until the end of time, for as long
as it is kept going no one has to pay for its
transportation.
Each agent upon receiving it simply sends
it along marked G. D. ID. to the next man,
who treats it in the same manner. And so
it will 90 until some fellow gets disgusted,
paws the charges and kicks the parcel into
the street. Attached to the box was string
of tags on one side, Oh which were the usual
directions, while on the other side wag9isll
fellows had made such remarks as they deem
ed appropriate. One says "Too rich Cor oui
blood;" another, Yum, YUM" and Others

1t was sent from Sedala to Fort Worth

its fate will probably be the same to all but
the fellow who finally "takes the cake"

A Young Lady Lawyer Re'ort
lSlin .Inse MprclLrn

Judge Tyler, of San Francisco, is we'll
midable opponent, both forensically and
physically, as many Learned counsel" "
upon the other side has found out to his sor-
row.
The Judge, who Is 50 used to dominating
over his brethren Of the bar, recently met
his match in the lady lawyer of San Fran
cisco, Clara s. Foltz, who clipped Ills wind
in manner that we'll nigh sufiocated him.
The story Is too GOOD to be lest.
The case of Tyler ys, The Hiberna Sa-
wings Bank was pending before one Of the
city courts, involving the right to a certain
deposit Of money in the bank. Tyler vas
his own attorney and Mrs. Foliz was attor-
ney for the bank. 1t seems that Tyler, by a
little bit Of sharp practice, was trying to
ring in cold deck IN the shape Of a default
that had been enormously dated, the admis-
sion of which by the judge upon the bench
would have sent the defendant out of court
Mrs. Foltz showed the matter up satisfacto-
rily to the bench and the default was then
promptly set aside. This nettied Judge
Tyler considerably, and turning to the lady
counsel he said sharply, in manner in
tended TO be intensely impressive, that the
"counsel had better be engaged in other
business !" that ga woman's place was at
home raising her children"
The words were scarcely uttered before
Mrs. Foltz arose In her queenly way, aud
flashing her blue eyes straight into the
Judges forid face, she quietly remarked: !:
I" a woman had better be engaged In almost
any kind Of business than In raising such
men as you are, SIR"
The court commanded order, but In a tone
that seemed to appreciate the justice Of the
remark, while q number of lawyers In court,
SOME Of whose heads Judge Tyler has held
In chsncery on former occasions, came near
exploding with suppressed laughter.
The counsel turned white with anger. and
groaned In spirit, but concluded 1t was bet
ter to drop the subject then and there.

Beef on tho RI oof.
Kansas City Journal.

The size of the Texas drive can only be es-
timated, as there are so many different paths
taken. There being ITO regular route, no tai
ly can be kept and the exact number Of cat
tie arrived at. The drive from the ranges Is
put at 1000 head, which does net include
the many droves of beef cattle that will
come from the Panhandle of Texas TO this
market. OF the Texas drive, the cows and
calves, ycarlinss aud two year olds, will all
be left on the Northern ranges to eventually
find a market here. The three, four and
five year olds come directly to this market.
This grade is all purchased and packed by
local buyers during the fall. The present
price of yearlng steers in Texas is from S6
TO So, and are contracted to Northern ranch
men for from $3.50 to $40, the difference be-
tween the Texas price and the contract price
being the margin allowed the drivers. AS
the latter figure the stock can be obtained by
buyers in X ansas and Colorado. Twoyear
olds are worth from SO to Sl2 on their ma
tive range and are contracted at from S13 10
SIS. Three-year olds in Texas bring from
SIS to SIT, and from SIT to $40 when deliv-
cred to Northern or Western contractors. A
COW and calf bring $l2 at home; delivered
on the Northern or Western range, SIS.

BUCHANAN READS "DRIFTING."


A recent issue of the Times contains I.
Buchanan Reads Drifting" Which has at
tanned its proper place as recognized gem
in American history. But the poem as pub
Iished, even in the latest edition of his
works (Lippincott's of 1869 is incomplete.
Read had never seen the Bay Of Naples (ex-
cept III his minds eye) when that poem was
written. He wrote 1t while on visit to his
mother-in-law, Mrs. Laing, i'll Brooklyn, OH
a stormy, sleety, snowy Sunday in midwin-
ter, and while suffering from severe attack
of influenza. While lounging on the sofa
and experiencing the combined depressing
effects of his malady and the gloomy weather
he thought how different must be the sensa-
ton of one floating at will in midsummer OH
the Bay of Naples. His fertile Imagination
transported him to that charming locality as
seen I'm its summer glory and radia beauty.
When he subsequently visited Naples and
observed all the surroundings of the famed
locality he realized that, full as the poem
was of accurate description, it was incom-
plete in making no reference to the Island of
Sorrento. He then composed the following
verse:
:" In lofty lines,
Mid palms and pines,
And olives, aloes, elms and vines,
Sorrento swings,
Where Tasso's spirit scars and swings,
Which he directed should appear as the
fourth verse in subsequent editions of his
works.

The clock has stopped-that's all.
The clock has stopped. yet why have so found

Why note its silence sooner than its sound?

And such companiOnship UNDECIDED keep;
Companionship scarce recognized till gone,
And lost in sudden sleep.
And 30 the blessings heaven daily grants
