Pathetic Sneech.

The speech made in the Florida Legislature, ON
the occasion of n members death, has been the
rounds, but is good enough to print again:
''Mr Speaker: Sir,-Our fellow citizen, Mr. 81
las Higgins, who was lately member of this
branch Of the Legislature, is dead, and he died
yesterday in the forenoon. He had the brown
creatures, bronchitis, and was an uncommon
individual. His character was good mp to the
time of his death, and he never lost his voice.
He was fifty-six years old, and taken sick before
he died at his boarding-hous where board can
be had at dollar and seventy-hve cents week,
washing and lights included. He was an inge-
nious creature, and in the early part of his life
had a father and mother. His uncle, Timothy
Higgins served under General Washington,
who was buried soon after he died with military
hOnors, and several guns were burst firing sa-
lutes. Sir, Mr.. General Washington would have
voted for the tariff of 1876 if he had been alive,
and hadn't died sometime beforehand. Now, Mr..
Speaker, such being the character of General
Washington, motion that we wear Grape around
the left arm of this Legislature and adjourn till
tomorrow morning, rs an emblem of our respects
for the memory of 5. Higgins, who is dead, and
died of the brown creators yesterday in the fore
noOn.'

She Fixed Him

The young man was evidently honest in his
intentions, but three years of constant counting
had failed to overcome his excessive bashfnlness.
They were sitting in chairs at n respectful dis
tance apart. Said the young man, having spent
five minutes in search of n subject:
Show do you get along with your cOokingi"
''Nicely," replied the young miss; SIN i'm.

ed the young miss.
''Why, that's wedding cake" exclaimed the
young man neryously."

Just what meant"
They are married now.

THE FUTURE.

Years are eoming-speed they onward
When the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet. lance, and falchiOn.
Sleep in quiet dust
Earth has heard too long OF hattie.
Heard the trumpet's yOice too long;
But another age advances,
Seers foretold in song.
In the past, the age of iron,
Those who Strengthening met their kind
Have too often worn the chaplet
HOnors hand has twined-
But the heroes Of the future
Shall be men whose hearts are strong;
Men WHOSE verbs and acts shall only
War against the wrong.
But the sabre, in their contests,
Shall no part, no honor own;
Wars dread art shall be forgotten,
Carnage all unknown
Years are coming, when forever
Wars dread banner shall be furled.
And the angel. Peace, be welcomed
Regent Of the world,
Hail with song that glorious era,
When the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet. lance, and falchion,
Sleep in silent dust.

FAREWELL


Linger, dearest, yet q while;
Courage, though fierce fate IL calling;
Give me one eternal smile,
While the mortal dews are falling.
Linger-let us hold this hour
Sacred to the unreturning;
Know my passion, know thy power,
Know the heart thou leavest burning!
five must not meet again,
Though hundred years should rest,
One last moment ease my pain,
Lay thy glory on my breast.
Never till this saddest kiss
Saddest, though y heaven Of sweetness
Have known the balm. the bliss,
VI thy beautiful completeness
Hark. the bleeding hour hath come,
Cuts our twining souls asnnder;
But nor life nor death may sum
OF our love the orbed wonder!.
Farewell, this one kiSs-the last
God the JOY and sorrOw giver.
Give Us all the woe Thou hast,
But, %. not-U, not forever!

BAD THERMoNETERs.-The difference reported
in temperature, often in the same locality, leads
to the superstition that the instrument is out Of
order. A simple and easy way of testing the
correctness of the Thermometer is to pack the
instrument in melting snow CT pounded ice, when,
if correct, ii will indicate - degrees-the freez-
ing point. The stem of the thermometer is often
liable TO slip up, or down, owing TO the fasten-
ings getting loose, from frequent handling; with
the above precautions, any one can tell in n few
minutes whether the instrument is correct That
from five to ten degrees difference exists in OF
near the same place, during our cold spells, j.
extremely improbable. The above test is that
adopted by the Smithsonian Institution and also
by the signal service, and is so simple and mex.
pensive that no one need to be deceived by
worthless instruments.

How TO TREAT A CoLD.-When you get chilly
all over and away into your bones, and begin to
sniffle and almost struggle for your breath, just
begin in time and your tribulations need not last
very long. Get some powered borax and snuff
the dry powder up your ncstrils. Get your cam
phor bottle, smell it frequently, pour some on
your handkerchief, and wipe your nose with il
whenever needed. Your nose will not get sore,
and Won will soon wonder what's become of your
cold. Begin this treatment in the forenoon and,
keep on at intervals until you 90 to bed, and
you will sleep rs well you ever did, 1 am

BRUMMEII's WIT.-There was flavor in Brum-
mell's wit, too, whether he wrote or spoke, that
was piquant, with a selfish undercurrent and an
absence of effort-something of Voltairean
heartlessness and finish. A good specimen is his
answer TO a question: Had he heard anything
as to how a newly Unmarried pair, at whose we'd
ding he had assisted week before, was getting

LITTLE FEET AND LITTLE HANDS.

Little feet and little hands,
Busy all the day,
Never staying in your playing
Long upon your way;
Little knowing whittier going,
Come TO me, prayi
Bring the sweetness, in its tieetness,
OF the early flowers
Ali the blessings and caressings
Of your sunny hours
Little feet and little hands,
What awaits for you
Sad to-mOrrOws, with their sorrOws'
Clouds, or skies of blue
viii the pleasures come with treasures
Ever glad and newt
Never tarry feet that carry
Little ones along;
May they bear the dariings where
The air is full Of song!
Little feet and little hands,
We are wOndrous fair!
Ye are straying in your playing
Frpm balDiy air
Gently blowing. never knowing
ANY thought Of care.
To its breczes. il it pleases
Him who guides our way,
May you wander over yOnder
Where they ever stray,
And no smiling or beguiling
Woo again to stray!

THE MUSIC OF THE SEA.

The gray, unresting sea,
Adown the bright and betting shore,
breaking in untold melody,
Makes music eveflnore.
Centuries of vanished time,
Since the glad carth's primeyal morn,
Have heard the grand, unpausins chime,
Momently newborn.
Like. a. in cloistered piles,
Rich bursts Of massive sound upswcll,
Ringing along dim-lighted aisles,
With spirit-trancing spell;
So on the surf.white strand.
Chants Of deep peal the sea-waves raise,
Like voices frOm y viewless land,
Hymning hymn Of praise.
By times in thunder notes,
The booming pillows shoreward surge:
BY times. silver laugh infiUatsi
By times, u low, soft dirge.
Souls more ennObled grow,
Listing the worthless anthem rise;
Discorls arc drowned in the great flow
Of natures harInOnies.
Men change, and cease to be-"
And empires rise and grow and fall;
But TIE weird music Of the sea
Lives, and outlives them all.
That mystic song shall last
Till Time itself no more shall be;
Till seas and shores away have passd,
Lost in eternity.

Vainly your compassion prayi
Sister, who bright flowers are wreathins
To entwine a sisters brow;
While kind voices 'round thee breathing
Soothe and chase thy early voc;
Think, poor orphans
No such fond endearments know.
Brother whose bright eye is sparkling
With the hopes of coming years;
In whose sky no cloud is darkling;
Stranger yet TO grief and fears,
Help the orphan,
Cheer her heart and dry her tears.
Patrons, in whose breast undying
Generous love and pity glow;
You. who sought and found Us lying
IN our belplessness and woe
Still protect US.
Kindness still and mercy show.

That your souls at last shall gather
