About Large Lars.

Large ears can hear things in general,
and denote broad, comprehensive views
and modes of thought, while small ears
hear things in particular, showing a dis
position to individualiZe, often accom-
panied by love of the minute. Large ears
are usually satisfied with learning the
facts of the case, with the general princi-
Piles involved-too strict an attention to
the enumeration of details, especially all
repetition of the more unimportant, is
wearisome to them. People with such
ears like generally, and are usually we'll
fitted to conduct large enterprises, to re-
ceive and pay out large sums; in buying
and selling would prefer to leave mar
gin rather than reduce the quantity of
any sort to the exact dimensions of the
measure specified, and in giving would
prefer to give with free hand and with
out too strict calculation as to the exact
amount. Small ears, on the contrary,
desire to know the particulars of story
as well as the main facts; take delight
often in examining, handling or examin-
ing, handling or constructing tiny speci-
mems of workmanship; are disposed to be
exact with respect to inches and ounces
in buying or selling to the extent, at
least, of knowing the exact number over
or under the stated measure given or re-
ceived People with such ears, would in
most cases, prefer retail to wholesale

THE wSy.IDR WILL.
BY WALTER LEARNED.


He stopped at the wayside well,
Where the water was cool and deep;
There were leathery ferns 'twixt the messy
stones
And gray was the old well-sweep.
He left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman nor footman tell
Why the master stopped in the dusty road
To drink at the wayside well.
He swayed with his gloved hands
The well-sweep creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar in the buckets side
The water FLASHED back below.
He lifted it to the curb
And bent down to the buckets rim,
No burrows of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but a farmers's boy
AS he stopped DER the brim to drink,
And rudy and tanned was the laughing face,
That met his over the brink.
The eyes were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care,
While from under the brim Ofthe old straw hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair.
He turned away with a sigh,
Nor could cOachman or fOOtman tell,
Why the master stopped in his ride that day
To drink at the wayside we'll

frightened Fleet, during that awful race
with the demons of fire.
But it was all in vain!
Before we could reach that one little
rift in the great, red wall, it was closed

Another Criticism on the Presidents

They would not change. now that he is in a

early stage of his illness, he had been al
lowed to see the familiar faces of few COM
rades, rather than his regular attendants,

conferred on himself, and would give health
and tone to his body.
Neither have the members of the cabinet
seen him at all. His children are not ad-
mtted to the sick room. No relative or

glimpse of him. Gen. Sheldon, who came

much. and thought that it would have done

Bliss was questioned concerning the rumor in

the wound had been probed within a day or
two to the depth of IL inches. The doctor
replied that there was no truth in the rumor,
that nothing like a probe had entered the
wound since the curved instrument was in
serted. When the last surgical operation
was performed, nearly two weeks ago, a
cleansing tube only, he said, had been in
serted at each dressing of the wound, and
this had never entered beyond 81 inches from
the mouth of the last incision. The doctor
was also asked about the condition of the
patient at this hour and replied ale is do
ing nicely. l have just sponged him off and
he has gone to sleep again" His pulse he
said was los. At this hour, midnight, the
