Sometimes the Paris Figaro turns its
attention to American politics. 1t says, for
example: I'm the endeavor to succeed Mr..
Hayes in the presidential chair. two leading
candidates found themselves face to face
two generals, Grant and Hancock. Sud-
denly the two republican co-candidates of
Gen. Grant, Messrs. Blaine and Sherman,
became afraid. They believed they saw on
the brow of Grant an imperial crown. They
eusued truly Shakespearean scene. They
unite, renounce their respective candida
cies, and promise the votes OF the republic
can party to Garfield, who vainly refuses.

MARTHA.

Yes, rd!-Yet some must serve!
Not all with tranquil heart,
Even at thy dear feet,
Wrapped IN devotion sweet,
May sit apart!
Yes, Lord!-Yet some must bear
The burden Of the day,
Its labor and its heat,
While others at thy feet
May muse and pray!
Yes, Lord!-Yet some n.ust do
Life's daily task-work; some
Who fain would sing must toll
Amid earth's dust and moil,
While lips are dumb!
Yes, Lord!-Yet man must earn
And woman bake the bread;
And some must watch and wake
Early for snothers' sake,
VINO pray instead!
Yes, Lord!-Iet even thou
Hast need of earthly care;
l bring tie bread and wine
To Thee, guest divine
Be this my prayer!
