How shall sing you, Child, for

Or how the only tone assume
That fits maid SO young?
What rocks there are on either hand!
Suppose-'tis on the cards
You should grow up with quite grand
Platonic hate for bards;
How shall l then be shamed, undone,
For ali! with what scOrn
Your eyes must meet that luekless One
Who hymned you, newly-born;
Who DER your helpless cradle'' bent
His idle verse to turn,
And twanged his tiresome compliment
Above your unconcern.
Nay-let my words be SO discreet
That, keeping Chance in view,
Whatever after-fate you meet
A part may still be true.
Let others wish you mere good looks
Your sex is always fair;
Or to be writ in Fortunes books
She's rich who has to spare.
1 wish you but heart that's kind,
A head that's sound and clear;
yet let the heart be not too blind,
The head not too severely
A joy of life, frank delight,
A moderate desire;
And if you fail to find Knight,
At least-a trusty squire.

FEMALE DRUMMERS.

All the devices of drumming up trade

merchants, with an ingenuity and iber.
ality that have resulted in great fnan-
cial gains and booming sale of goods
each season. The travelling business,
however, has beer, rather overdone the
past two seasons. Every small concern
has its five or six commercial travellers
roaming through the country now, and
the novelty has quite worn off this
branch. The drummers swarm about
the Offices Of merchants throughout the
country in such numbers now, and the
rivalry has become so fierce. that the
business men find them great bore,
and have. takenlately to the heroic policy
of showing them the door and rudely
slamming it in their faces. It will not
take long, at this rate, to bring the bus
mess of drumming up trade into such
disrepute that it will be worse than use
less to engage In it at all
In their dilemma they are prudently
casting about for some means of adding
fuel to their fire Or of reviving the al
most defunct spirit Of the palmy days

think they have hit upon the very idea.
They have each taken two of their
youngest, best;looking and checklist
salesladies, and sent them out on the
road with samples to work up the trade,
which, under the old system of drum
ming, was fast slipping away from them.
The success of the ladies has been quite
phenomenal. We are informed that
hardly in a single instance have they
failed to secure large orders from the re-
calcitrant merchants who have gone back
on the drummers of the bifurcated gar
ments. Surely the astute tradesmen of

ETIONETTE OF THE NAPKIN.

It has been stated, and very truly too,
that the law Of the napkin is but vague
ly understood. It may be said, how
ever, on the start, that custom and good
breeding have uttered the decree that it
Is poor taste to put the napkin In the
pocket and carry it away.
The rule of etiquette is becoming
more and more thoroughly established
that the napkin should be left at the
house Of the host or hostess after din
ner.
There has been good deal Of discus
sion also upon the matter Of folding the
napkin after dinner, and whether it
should be disposed of or negligently
tossed into the gravy boat. II, however,
it can be folded easily, and without at
tracing too much attention and prolong-
ing the season for several hours, it
| should be SO arranged and placed beside
the plate where it can be easily found
by the hostess and returned to the
neighbor from whom she borrowed it
for the occasion. If, however, the lady
of the house is not doing her own work,
the napkin may be carefully damned
into globular wad and fred under the
table, to convey the idea of utter reck-
lessness and pampered abandon.
The use of the finger bowl is also a
subject Of much Importance to the bon
ton guest who gorges himself at the ex-
pense Of his friends.
The custom of drinking out of the fin
ger bowl. though not entirely obsolete,
has been limited to the extent that good
breeding does not now permit the guest
to quaf the water from his finger bowl
unless he does SO prior to using it as a

r"DT SERVANTS FOB THE JUSTICES
OF THE SUPREME COURT.


OF THE SUPREME COURT.
One of the customs is that each JUS
tice of the United States Supreme Court
has body servant. The Justices get
money for their own body servants, but
the custom is otherwise, and the body
servants are paid 81, 200 per annum by
the Government. Some Of the Justices
want to select their own body servant,
but they are not allowed to do it by the
other body servants, for the custom is
that the newly-appointed Justice retain
the body servant of his predecessor.
The servants have never been known to
allow Justice to violate this custom.
Mr.. Justice Woods, who was appointed
by Garfield, in speaking to some gentle
men of this custom, said: "My body
servant is the most annoying thing I
have yet experienced. The fellow is the
first man see in the morning and the
asst I see at night. he forced his way
into my room at the Elliot House, ordered
me to go down to breakfast, and then
asked me what would have for break
fast, taking my order to the cooks him
self. I could not get rid of him in any
way. He haunted me all the time. I
tried to find places to send him to get
rid of him, but he was back as quick as
lightning. That fellow will be the death
ofme. Ihave this satisfaction, however,
the other Justices are tortured in the
same way" When Mr. Justice Gray, of
Massachusetts, went on the Supreme
bench, he had an idea he would do just
as he pleased; but after trial he finally
had to Jield, and is now as completely
in the power of his body servant as any
of The others. He not only was not al
lowed to select man for himself, but
was forced to accept the services of
fellow he does not like. They are death
on custom; they live on custom, and
not one of the body servants does
thing different from what he did years
ago. As a.rule, the body servants are
past middle age. The fathers and grand
fathers of some Of them served in the
same capacity, for they never let new
man into the ring. Hartford Times.

New Law Firm.

We take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to the law card of Stuart & Rock
well which appears in another column
of this issue. These gentlemen are
Portage County boys, both having been
born and residents here all their lives,
and are good representatives of home
talent. Mr.. Stuart has for some years
stood at the head of the Portsge County
Bar and is justly regarded as one of the
first lawyers in Northern Ohio. Mr.,
Rockwell, who made such splendid
run for Congress at the recent election,
though younger than Mr.. S., has for
a number of years been among the
leading lawyers in this section. They
are both men of the strictest integrity
and reputation, professional and per-
sonal, and possess the full confidence
of the Judges and Bar. They COM
menced here years ago poor young
lawyers, and have each acquired an
ample fortune in a strictly honorable
manner, having one of the finest law
libraries in the State, comprising near
ly three thousand volumes of standard
Reports and Treatises, and it is not too
much to say that it is one of the ablest
law firms ever formed in this county.
We wish them success.
