his change now nobody but Dukes and
Lords do any such thing as that. The
Duke was dressed in the extreme of
fashion, his shirt front was immaculate,
and his nobby Englisi, bobtail coat,
buttoncd close to the throat, doubtless
concealed diamond of inestimable value;
a huge single eyeglass dangled from his
button hole, to which was attached a
piece of red ribbon, giving the whole a
| very distngue effect. Ou entering he had
carelessly remarked to the porter that if
the Duke of Rutland's baggage arrived
to send it at once to his room the porter
was not slow in informing the bar keeper
of the arrival Of the distinguished guest.
The clerk was completely overpowered,
and though Ed. Stokes had caught two
Lords, one Marquis, three Counts and
two Barons, this was the first time that
a real 1.-Two Duke had ever tucked his legs
under his mahogany. He was ilnme-
diately invited to the parlor, for Stokes

Of bottles Of Cliquot were Immediately
ordered up in the ice cooler. After
refreshing himself bis Grace was inviA
to smoke some choice Havanas, whicl,
had been specially imported by Mr..
Stokes at cost of five hundred dollars IL
thousand. The second bottle of the ex-
hilarating vino had disappeared like
hoar frost in the morning sun, and just
as his Grace was about to light his fourth
cigar, and had put a couple in his pocket,
the clerk rushed i'll looking as pale as
sheet and whispered something in Mr..
Stokes ear. What it was has not trans
pired, but Mr.. Stokes made Il rush for
the Duke, and the Duke made rush for
the door, the toe of Mr.. Stokes boot
accelerating his progress. The last that
was seen Of his Grace he was retreating
rapidly down Fifth Avenue, rubbing his
hand in the vicinity Of his coat tails, and
evidently not over delighted with his
reception by the blarsted Yankees. A
detective from Scotland Yard has been
making. inquiries all the week for
swindlcr from London, who has given
the police of that goodly city consider
able trouble for the last five years.
The stock market during the week
which has passed has been little more
than a delusion and a snare, nobody
appears to know anything about it. The
big operators are as dumb us an Egyptian
mummy, though everybody appears to
think there is a good time coming.
Blessed are those who expect nothing,
for they shan't be disappointed.
The weather, which was dry as Con-
gressman's eonseiepse, has been mois-
tened by cepions rains. Already the
tourists begin to wander back in few
days the Dog star will rage no longer,
and oysters will be the order of the day.
An oyster may appear like very small
thing to gentleman in the country, but
when you reflect that it represents thou
sands of vessels, hundreds of thousands
of people and millions of dollars, you
will join with me in saying, "All hail to
the first of September, aud all hail to the
oyster"
Yours truly, BROADBRIM.

For the CHIEF.
TOLL.
BY aALUS.

| BY aALUs.
The year rolls round and everywhere
We see the marks Of toll and care;
The busy wheels are never still,
But whirl and turn at human will;
And busy hands and flying feet
| In every turn Of life we meet.
Some hurry on in eager haste
Nor dare the flying moments waste,
For time, by moments, flies away,
And flying fast, makes up the day.
Some fain would find an easy place,
And win the goal without the race;
Have honors where there are none due,
And wear crown that's won by few.
To such, alas, It's vain to preach,
And cry. The goal you'll never reach
Unless from sloth you will arise,
And win by toll the offered prize"
No youth has learned the Grecian lore
Unless he's sought the hidden core
From whence their thoughts and actions sprung
And feels what fred the songs they sung.
Genius, tbs true, oft SORTS and sings,
But when it rests sloth clips its WINGS
And then, for want of exercise,
The noblest talent droops and dies.
Genius alone ne'er made men great,
Or fitted them to guide the state;
70 pillow the waves while oceans roar,
And furious lash the rock-bound shore.
Genius the past can ne'er revive,
Or take the honey from the hive
Which sages have laid up in store
In quaint old volumes. score by score
Genius alono no brush can WELD,
That paints to life the canvased field.
Or draw SO perfect every line
That marks the human face divine.
Genius may pass the plowman's field
And tell what crops have largest yield,
Or give some pleasant reason why
He'll have full harvests by and by;
But then, he lives alone in name
His ife's dying ember's fame
A FURNISHED lamp that has no OIL
He's naught unless made great by toll.

LOVES WILD IMAGINING.
L. w. GossE.

To-day the winter woods are wet,
And chill with airs that miss the sun;
The autumn of the year is done,
Its leaves all fallen, its flower stars set,
It's frosty hours begun.
Should last years gold, narcissus yearn
For next years roses, oh! how vain!
No brief dead flowers arise again,
But each sweet little life in turn
Must shoot and bloom and wane.
Sweet. had the years that slip so fast
Brought you too soon or me too late,
How had we gnashed our teeth at fate,
And wandered down to death at last
Forlorn, disconsolate!
Surely before the stars were sure,
Before the moon was set in Heaven,
Your unborn soul TO me was given,
Your clear, white spirit, rare and pure,
For me was formed and shriven.
All! surely no time ever was
When we were not, and our souls, light
Made these cold places infinite
That lie between the years like glass,
Seen only in Gods light.
Howe'er it be, my own desire,
If chance has brought us face to face,
Or if the scheme of things found place
To store our twin hearts light and fire
In strange, foreseeing grace
Howe'er it be, for us at least,
The woodland pathways are not dark,
New lights are on the boughs and bark,
And in the rainless sunshot east
We hear a mountain lark.
