The jolly Reporter.

Mr.. w. Il. ellis brother was one
of the characters of Boston. He war
an easy-going, jolly and worthy En-
glishman. As a reporter he was the
parent of the humorous method Of
reporting here, and is said to be re-
sponsible for much of the wit thai
gave the Boston Post its early repu
tation. Many good stories are told
ofhim. Here is one of them: He
was present at commemoration of
the battle of Bunker Hill. Everybody
knew Counsellor" Gill, as he was
called, and while the patriotic senti,
ment was at its highest point, he hap
pened to mention that his father was
one of the soldiers of that fight. This
stirred anew enthusiasm at the table,
and it was insisted that this son Of o
fighting father should make speech.
He arose to do it, but after recount
ing faithfully his fathers prowess,
quietly remarked in conclusion that
lie was soldier on the British side.

The Boston Young Woman.

An aged gentleman from the co,,n
try, whose own walk is as honest ant
sturdy as his conversation, was mucl
amazed yesterday at beholding the
appearance of Boston young lady
The ftar creature descended from I
horse car almost at his feet, teeteret
lightly on her toes thrice, adjusted
her arms like the plumed extremities
of trussed fowl, permitted her hands
to dangle as do the forepaws of q
kangaroo, and sailed down the street
with sort Of a willow wabble which
set her head to bobbing after thu
fashion of a Chinese doll, her eys the
while being set and anxious, and hel
whole appearance suggestive of dis
lccation and distress. And wher
one of our gilded youths, in coat
with no tail to speak of, and a hat
like o soup-plate cooked over his lef,
eye, started after her with arms and
legs forming segments of circles, aftel
the approved traditions of the "chick
en- walk" he remarked that he'd be

Il was In the chill December
That the Angel Of Death came by,
And be rusilsd His wings Of dnkurss
A. hs swept through the win,ry sty'
A household Of happy creatures.
Dwelt quiet, and Tree from care.
Aud the angel stole 10 softly.
And stood all silent there.
(But the children laughed and sang At thsir play;
Never fear nor pans had thsy)
Aud the angel swiftly 10 silence
Struck home the mortal blow.
Aud In the wintry morning
He laid the father low;
And wildly the sorowful mother.
Bswildersd and stunned with woe.
Walled 10 her lone bersavmsnt.
Aud wished that she too might 60.
tBut the children laughed and sang q their play
Never fear or . paug had they'll
Cold In tho lonely chamber
lay the fathers form at rest.
And they laid tho delicate flower wrssths
Upon his quies breast;
And forth from his home they bore him,
And bill him from sound and sight;
And they hsapsd the cold earth above him
while the children's feet trod lsght.
tBut the boys went home to their happy play;
Never fear nor pang had thsy)
And often the childish footsteps
Are turned to their fathers grave,
Where the grass with its gllstening hoarfrest.
Lies over that heart 90 brave;
And somstlmss they watch their mother
Bending in sorrow and pain;
And they say In their childish voileG
'wiil papa never come againf"
tBut soon they laugh aud sing at their play
Never . fear or spans have they)
30 God In His iuanite pity
Shuts the eyes Of the children dear,
And they see not the fell destroyer,
Though their eyes are 80 br yht and clear.
And fsaid: "There's no past for the children
With its terrible panss and stings;
And for them no brooding future
spreadsth It's thresteniug wings.
All they see Is the present-to-day;
And 40 they laugh aud sing at their play"
