At the close of the theatre, the other
evening, a lady was descending the stairs
when a boy about twelve years old I'M
consciously stepped on the train of her
dress, and at the same instant turned his
head to answer the inquiry of a com
panion on the landing above. The lady
was intently observing the fit of sleeve
less jacket just in front, and, before she
was aware of it the whole skirt of her
dress was drawn tightly up underneath
her armpits, leaving a rather. battered
underskirt the sole object of an admir-
ing group. With hasty, almost savage
sweep of her hand behind, she brought
away not only the skirt butthe boy him
self. He descended with much the same
velocity as key of nails, striking the
lady on the calves of her legs and knock
ing her feet fairly from under her. She
came down with crash, sitting on the
boy with great promptness, and the two
rolled together to the bottom of the stair
way. AS the young man disengaged
himself and crawled out from between
the lady's feet, he said, ''if it hadn't a
been for them ere newspapers, mann,
wot you've got strapped up thar behind,

A Good Story.

Just cast your eye over this story
which we heard s'norated'' on board
the old steamer Globe, coming from
Buffalo, just twenty years ago. Our
travelling companion was Canadian, a
jolly fellow, who loved a joke, told a
good story, feared God, admired the la
dies and was withal an abominable
stammerer. We hadn't been long aboard
when the Captain called our attention to
a remarkable looking individual seated
at the other end of the cabin whom he
declared was the ugliest looking man
that ever lived; whereupon our friend
from over the line offered to bet the
drinks he had seen worse one in the
Storage The bet was taken, and off
he started to find his man and bring
him up for comparison. He found the
fellow who was bit of wag, as an in
tolerable homely man is apt to be, and
with the promise of a nip readily
gained his assent to the trial. AS they
entered the cabin, Kanuck with an air
of conscious triumph turned to direct
attention to his champion, when he
found him trying to insure success by
making faces. St-st-st-st-op! said he,
no-none of that. Stay just as God AL
mighty made you. You ca-ca-can't be
beat. And he wasn't.

ments of his countrymen. He stands
foremost as the only poet America has
produced who can rank with the great
poets of the English language below
Shakespeare, Milton and Byron. Euro
pean literature, especially that of Ger
many, had powerful influence upon
his literary work. OF English poets
Tennyson is the one he mostly resem-
bles, and yet there is little real similarity
between the two. His many transla-
tions from Spanish, German, Swedish.
Danish and Anglo-Saxon attest his lin
guistic and poetic skin. His own works
have been translated into many lam
guages, and prominent English all-
thority has said of them, ION this side
of the Atlantic Longfellow and WASH
ington Irving are as well known as
Tennvson and Goldsmith" This is
strong but deserved praise.
In America his complete works have
enjoyed the largest circulation and it is
almost impossible to oyerestimate the
regard in which Tennyson has been held
by all the scholars and literature. More
than any other poet he secured the love
of the children of his fellow-countrymen,
of which sterling illustration was Civ
en- by the assembling of 5000 children
the last anniversary of his birthday. For
he to them was the humber poet.''
Whose songs g,,shed from his heart
AS showers from the clouds of summer
Or tears from the eyelids start
To every lover of poetry wherever the
English language is spoken he was the
poet of gentleness, sweetness and refine
ment. His work seldom suggested
strength or greatness, but in pure, SIM
pie eloauence it has seldom been excel
led. Many may think ''Evangeline' and
''Miles Standish'' are the best of his
works, but after several of his lyrics
contained in "The Voices of the Night
and his Songs" which are perfect in
construction and beautiful with a PEN
sive sadness and humanity, the writer
believes that 1.-The Song of Hiawatha''
will outlive others of his more preten-
tious works if for nothing else for its
peculiar construction and the soft, liquid
music of its quaint metre, which is like
the flow of water rising, ripping on the
pebbles" Surrounded by friends and
all the harmonies of life he has lived
long and beautiful life. He loved learn
ing, and the serenity of books amid
which and full of years and honors he
has passed on to join the Being beaute-
Gus, and the people to-day mourn his
loss, and rejoice that he has entered at
the open door.
Farewell o Hiawathai
Thus departed Hiawatha,
Hiawatha the Beloved,
In the glory of the sunset
In the purple mists of evening.
To the regions of the home-wind:
OF the northwest wind, Keewaydin,
To the islands of the blessed,
To the kingdom of Ponemah,
To the land of the hereafter.

A Pretty and Ohean Room Ornament.

From the French scientific journal, La
Nature, we Gull the following recipe for
making pretty and cheap room orna-
ment. Procure cheap sponge, the
larger the better; place in warm water,
and squeeze out all the moisture. Plant
in the holes, seeds of millet, barley,
purslain, red clover, grasses, ETC., and
in general any seeds which will germin-
ate easily, and which will afford a varie-
ty of color. Hang the sponge so pre-
pared in a window, or place it in vase
where the sun viii reach it, sprinkling
it with water every morning for week.
1t will soon be covered with vegetation
to remind those whose lives are I'M
fortunately spent amid bricks and NOR
tar, of the brighter world outside.
