A Prophecy OF Batter.


f. H. U. it, Boston Saturday Evening Ga,
zette.
Some years ago, while r. H. Dana was
running for congress against Gen. Butler,
there was dinner at Parker's lin the
large room No. 6, fragrant with the mem
DRY OF many a symposium, and young
gentleman was seated between Judge
F.. r. Hoar and Mr.. Dana. There was a
general discussion upon the merits ofthe
candidate, which reached back and for
ward. This young gentleman--younger
then than now---listened and gradually
grew merry with the thought Of the per-
turbation which the planetary orb of But
Ter was producing in the political system.
He was not a friend Of Butler--then or
now--butt the gravity Of his companions
at the table instead Of expressing hinl
seemed to create mirthful disposition
l lie character of Butler he did notgreat]y
admire, and he no more rejoiced in the
widows candidacy than did his friends
at the table," But their melancholy
amused him.
Said the young gentleman: This
contest is perpetually renewed. Annu-
auy OeH' Du'les - ~ NC q I"Al't1hato'
He is beaten to-day He will come again,
state will accept him. Some dozen years
hence, when he has worried everybody
to death he will he found to have ma
jority."
"Then," said he, IL see in vision the
board of overseers of Harvard college as.
sembled at SC State street, and there,
after the election, the board is convened.
The gentleman ut my right is in the
chair. The gentleman on my left rises
with his accustomed dignity. He says:
Mr.. Chairman, it is with no common
motion that I rise on this OCCASION. You
are all aware Of the trial we have passed
through; and as custom requires we are
about to honor the chief magistrate des-
ignated at the recent election. I Use,
therefore, to propose that the degree
Of L. L. D, be conferred upon the SOL
der, statesman, lawyer, and publicist,
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler."'
With a miscellaneous but not ill-tem-
pered manner, the young gentleman
continued.
"Upon this motion the gentleman in
the chair (Judge Hoar) will rise and
say: It. gives me uncommon pleasure
to listen to the remarks and the motion
of my friend on the left. The state, the
college, the community, owe him deb
of gratitude. It gives me pleasure t.
listen to the motion and remarks. and
trust the proposition will meet with gen
eral approval"
Then said the young gentleman: "Gen
Butler will bestride his wonderful hors'
and will canter over Cambridge bridge
You will have given him knightly accO
lade, and the college will have new hon
or in this last and most glorious docto
of laws"
This badinage went on for some time
Judge Hoar laughed. Mr.. Dana LOOKED
grave, and at last said: ''This is vel
enough for jest but don't say it aloud
Don't A loud word in the Alps some
times starts the avalanchel'
Many persons may imagine that thi
is story manufactured for the occasion
but it is wholly true and has been know
to many friends of the narrator 70
years.

Esthetic Nonsense Played Out.
Estheticism has run it's race in Eng

pool Mercury thus records its downfall:
Everybody is remarking, and few peo-
pie fail to be astonished at the sudden
disappearance of the aesthetics from good
society. The movement seems to have
worn itself out completely, so far az
dress is concerned. The erstwhile fash
ionable colors, the whilom remarkable
shapes, the strange and affected atti-
tudes, are things Of the past. It is vul-
gar now to wear sage-green; it is no long
er elegant to be limp; and those pecu-
liar garments. designed, like the robe of
Vivian, rather to express the figure than
to conceal, have been rendered obsolete
by the hideous and graceless crinolet.

sary to be either Japanese or early Eng

George ID. Prentice's Advice to a
Young Man.
To young man away from home,
friendless and for]orn in a great city,
the hours Of peril are those between
sunset and bedtime; for the moon and
stars see more evil in single hour than
than the sun in his whole days circuit.
The poets visions of evening are all
composed Of tender and soothingimages.
It brings the wanderer to his home, the
child to his mothers arms, the OK to his
stall and the weary laborer to his rest.
But to the gentle-hearted youth who is
thrown upon the rocks Of the pitiless
city, and stands homeless amid a thou
sand homes, the approach of
evening bring with it an ach-
ing sense Of loneliness and
desolatlOn which comes down upon the
spirit like darkness upon the earth. In
this mood his best impulse becomes a
snare to him; and he is lead astray be-
cause he is social, attectionate, SYM
phathetic and warm hearted. Ifthere be
young man thus circumstanced within
the sound Of my voice, let me say to him
that books are the friends of the friend
