As man was shovcling off his sidewalk
yesterday, and cougra;ulating himself that he
had got near the end of the job, philosopher
came aong-at least he looked like philoso-
pher, inasmuch as he had spectarles andlong
hair, and showed by the neglected state OF his
linen that his mind was attuned to things
more ethereal than laundresses and soap
and water-and engaged the toiler IN con-
versation. II never look upon fall OF
snow" said the philosopher. who probaeiy
had no sidewalk of his own and hence could
ENJOY moralizing upon the labors of other
people, without thinking of the power OF
little things Flake by fake the snow comes
down, each accretion so light and fraii that
breath might melt it, until at last the earth Is
covered deeply and man must take arms-that
Is to say. shovels-against foe whose appar-
ent weakness he despised. Thus, also, the
coral insect builds up continents and pushes
back the mighty sea. and even in your own
case, sir, each small cube Of snow which you
throw into the street brings you degree near
er the close of your toll" What further he
would have said is not known. for at that IN
slant there was a roar as if the fountains OF the
great deep had been broken up, and about ten
tons Of snow fell off the house and again
blocked up the nearly cleared sidewalk. Inc
sage's hat was knocked off and his glasses
twisted out of shape, and the next instant NJ
felt strong propulsion from behind, and a.
he 1ew into the street he heard the house
holder roar: Now you git. and If ever yo'
come round here again with your drive
about meteorology and natural history, IL
break your blamed neck!" And this 10 TN
sort Of encouragement philosophers get II

THE SUN, SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 1882.

In Congress" On the othor hand tho soccdcrs
Harrisburg, insisted that the interference Of
Congress should be confined to cases where
States had failed to prescribe rules. Precise
ly the same amendment wGs demanded
by the Virginia Convention. Patrick Henry
having dwelt especially on the danger Of
permitting Congress to control the manner"
Of election. But this amendment, though
called for By so many States, was not adopted.
Hcnrys prediction being thus verified that this
was one Of the powers which central Govern
ment once possessed Of, would lever sure nder
and that ii was the act OF II lunatic to sanction
such provisions in the hope Of modifying them
afterward.
We may say. in taking leave Of Mr.. Bancrofts
book. that it is not merely rich repository OF
facts, but q living and salutary force prompting
the reader to investigate for himself the
sources Of our constitutional history. To this
study. which is Of such papable Importance to
every citizen Of q republic governed in accord
ance with written instrument. his narrative
will prove at once an invaluable instrument
and powerful incentive. We have been able
in the compass OF these notices to glance but
two or three of the questions whose olucida-
tion depends largely on an accurate knowledge
Of the declared purposes OF the trainers and
adopters OF the Constitution. but such illustra-
tions may suffice to indicate the scope and
character Of the service which Mr.. Bancroft has
rendered to the people OF this country.

The poets laurel wreath she doth not wear,
Since in her busy life she seldom writes
The poems that she lives; yet on the heights
With native sympathy her soul doth share
The poets keen delights.
she neither seeks nor gains the world acclaims,
Though rarest gifts are hers OF mind and face;
More proud is she to MI her simple place,
And wear what seem to her the dearest names
That womanhood grace.
Her JOY 1t is to guard her loved from pain,
To take from them the burdens hard to bear
To give her days, her nights, her life to care
For those who, loving her, yet entertain
Their angel unaware
And more than artists patience she doth give
To tasks n motherhood, since not alone
High dreams are clothed in color form. or tone:
Wrought from the lives that human beings live
Is highest beauty known.
On such as she the world may not bestow
Its vain applause far from all vulgar strife
She dwes content IL through her hidden life
Her loved the meaning of the name shall know
OF mother and OF wife.

All the worlds Fourth Of July,
And all the men and women are but fireworks.
They have their fzzles and explosions,
And one man in his time many stars.
At first the infant. with hrecrncker,
That burns tho house and frightens all tho women
Then comes the pistol, when the boyish fend
Shoots out the jackstones, marbles junk, and nails
Dislodges fingers; puts out peoples eyes,
And mains for life great part OF his friends.
Then comes the lover with his pdlling crackers,
His mild torpedoes for the frightened girls;
And thus he plays his part
Then comes the Justice, with his pouch and gun,
Who trsmps aheld to shoot little bird
And then the soldier, with his riied cannon.
His howitzer, petard and bomb;
His Remington and Enfield. shot and shell;
And all the dread accoutrements Of war.
And last OF ALL that ends this pyrotechnic history
Comes second childhood's exhibition,
Its Roman candles, foods OF colored light;
Its pin wheels scattering fiery spray;
Its Bengal lights emitting fiery sheen,
Yet dim and shadowy to his fading sight.
Then disappears he in the realms of space.
Like some great rocket gone up TO the sky
With dazzling train Of many.coored fire,
His mind his heart his thought. his soul are gone;
His body useless as a rocket stick.

He was verd ant Congressman,
Whose shrewi constituency
For dredging on the ietty plan
Contracted quite fancy,
lie thought they ought TO have share
OF big appropriations,
But scanned all other schemes with care
And watchful calculations.
Among the figures steep and tall
That make the people shiver
He saw a sum, by no means small,
Set down for Roaring River.
He studied all the maps he knew,
And in the search persisted;
But no such river met his view.
Because none such existed.
The burly Congressman he sought
Who introduced the item,
To such pitch Of anger wrought
That he could almost fight him.
He said What means tins item herei
'Tis surely fraudulent, sir.
For such an object, it is clear,
We should not give cent, sir.

Is some internal plot, sir.

And emr;y into what. sirfn
The other answered: Don't you try
To cut the SUN, or dock II;

And emptIes in my pocket"
our Congressman was dazcd by this;
But, after meditation,
He straightway went and doubled his
