Fort Lincoln, which is across the river,
and the ambulance in which he was rid
ing was delayed by team and wagon
driven by ono Of tho class known as
mule whackers in this country. The
driver Of the ambulance and the mule
whacker got into wordy alteration,
and Major Sanger got very indignant at
what be believed TO be impertinent Ian
guage and unwarranted Interference in
his journey. lie jumped from the am
buIanco ~ Tom Thumb in size but
Goliah in fury. and exclaimed:
"Get that wagon out Of the way"
Tho mule whacker looked at him
quizzically and asked;
who the devil arc you y
II am Major Sanger, Of the army, sir,
and want you to get that wagon out Of

The mule whacker elected mouthful
of tobacco 10 the road and remarked:
"Do you know what | will do with

you don't make less noise with your

Men as Lovers.

In the first place, it is an imposition
on any we'll bred girl TO keep her up later
than ten o'clock, when you have the OPP
portunity of seeing her often II you
always leave her with the wish in her
heart that you had stayed longer you
gain 80 much Never run the risk Of
wcarying her with your presence. BE
Just as earnest aud straightforward as IN
your honorable dealings with men lm.
press your friends with the worthincss
and seriousness of your love, so that yul-
gar and sensoless bantcriDg will appear
to them as such. Love is rcligion-the
suprcmest happiness, wear it manfully and
proudly. but holly. Woo waman brave
ly. If there is anything humiiating TO a
woman it is 10 have a lover, whom she
wishes to honor weak and vapid, ever
yielding aud half afraid Of her. She
longs 30 tell him TO 'act like man !"
The man who conccais or denies his
love for fear Of being laughed at is a
coward. A love that has no element Of
divinity in il is not love, but passion,
which Of itself has nothing cnnobling
That was a beautiful inscription on an
engagement ring, each for the other,
and both for God.

Health and Talent.

1t is no exageration 10 say that health
is large ingredient in what the world
calls talent A man without it may be
a giant in intellect, but his deeds will be
the deeds of dwarf On the contrary,
let him have quick circulation. II good
digestion, the bulk, thews and sinews Of
man, and the alacrity, the unthinkng
confidence inspired by these, and, though
having but thimbleful of brains, he
will either blunder upon success or set
failure at defiance 1t is true, especially
in this country that the number of cen
taurs in every community--of men in
whom heroic intellects are allied with
bodily constitutions as tough as those Of
horses--is snail that, in general, u man
has reason to think himself we'll Of in
the lottery of life, il be draw ~ prize
Of fine intellect sitii a crazy stomach
But Of the two, weak mind in Her.
culoan frame is better than a giant mind
in crazy constitution. A pound Of en-
ergy. with an ounce Of talent, will achieve
greater results than pound of talent
with an ounce Of energy The first re-
quisite to success in life is to be a good
animal In any of the learned profess
sions vigorous constitution is equal to
at least fifty per cent more brain. Wit,
judgment, imagination, eloquence, ali the
qualities Of the mind, attain thereby II
force and splendor to which thcy'could
never approach without it, But intel
lcct in a weak body is like "gold in II
spent swimmers pocket" A mechanic
may have tools Of the sharpest edge and
highest polish; but what are these with
out vigorous arm and handY OF what
use is it that your mind has become a
vast graDary Of knowledge if you have
not strength to turn the key,

Wee Potomac, mid the mountains,
Prattling, toddling like child
Nourshed by the singing fountains,
Feeding thee with music wild.
Strong Potomac, adolescent,
Rushing recklessly along,
Or like youth where love is present.
Ripping with dreary song.
Grand Potomac, monarch river,
Claiming tribute everywhere
From thy vassals who deliver
Willingly, each one his share.
Noble river, onward flowing,
Through rugged pass or quiet glade
Where the grim old forests growing,
Gloom thy waters with their shade
Softly Notwithstanding only
Where the fertile meadow teens
Roaring through the mountains lonely,
Where the eagle scars and screams
Gently now and calm as maiden
Undisturbed by love may be,
Now with wrath and fury laden,
Whirling madly to the sea-
Now thy full, free volume rolling,
w hcIc INC ViiihBc spirc uscentlS,
Now of city bells the tolling
With thy softer music blends.
In thine anger calling loudly
To the rocks thy shores upon,
But in silence marching proudly
BY the tomb Of Washington,
Noble river am praying,
Once again thy banks to see,
Whore, from morn till evening straying,
My young footsteps wont to be.
Where with one, since passed TO Heaven
have culled such precious flowers
AS, alas are rarely given
TO this weary life Of ours.
And when this sad life is ended,
This dull dream of pain is DER,
When my heart with dust is blended
Let me rest upon thy shore.

ODE TO THE POTOMAC.

Mr.. Editor: The following exquisite little
poem, and beautiful tribute to the grand old
Potomac, was written at Copenhagen, by
the late Hon. Henry Dedinger, while Minis
ter to Denmark, and was first published in
the SPIRIT Of Jefferson. We are prompted to
bring it to your attention by a sense Of its
depth of pathos and truth of description,
and by its peculiar application to our own
boyhood and later life The remains of u
brother, the bright and gentle companion of
our youth, are resting a few hundred feet
above the shore where often we have sported
together on the Lower Potomac.
