TANGENT GRANGE MEETING.

Samson once asked what is sweeter
than honey and what is stronger than a
lion. This was no doubt, hard rid
die until it was found out, and doubtless
to him Della was very charming, but
had he been in the Tangent Grange
Hall last Saturday and seen the congre-
gated beauty there, he would have
shaved his head in a short time. That
was installation day, and so many were
present-old and young, men, women
and children, of pretty much all sizes.
The ceremonies, which were new to us,
were very interesting and instructive,
and seemed to be pregnant with great
principles-such as lie at the foundation
of all good society, and good govern-
ment as we'll. After the newly elect
had been installed into their proper
Offices and assigned their places, one rap
on the table proclaimed resting spell,
and all went to shaking hands and talk
ing. In a short time il was announced
that dinner was ready, and all went

Chicken yes, chickens and huge pyr-
amidal cakes, and many other things
that Samson never eat. Here, I was
fully convinced that the Grange is q
good institution from the wonderful and
Unsuitable appetites of all present. You
never saw cleaner bones and fewer
scraps than on this occasion, though at
first the table seemed to overflow with
good things. The tenacity with which
all stuck to these good things convinces
me that Grangerism will ultimately suc-
ceed, and if the evils wtch it proposes
to remove from society, vanish as fast
as its dinner, Grangers will soon have
to hunt new territory. Dinner over

Hiring Out Diamonds.

"That was an expensive set of Jew
elry," remarked reporter to the pro-
prietor of a large Washington Street
store, abiding to n set'of diamonds
young lady had just taken away with her.
at is the most expensive set we have
in the store, " was the reply, "but she
has only hired them"
''Is that a common thing in Boston?"
asked the newspaper man.
''Most certainly. Many OF my best
customers hire set of jewelry for an
evening, and for comparatively small
price excite the envy and jealousy of
their friends. wonder you have never
heard of it before. We take our cost
lest gems and reset them to please our
customers and then rent them. OF
people whom we know we never re-
quire any security, but a stranger
would of course have to deposit the
full value of the gems. There are two
of our finest sets at SwampScott now,
where | understand they have been
much praised, and their temporary
owners congratulated
"a funny thing happened in connec-
ton with this branch of our business.
There was to be a large German, and a
young lady, well-known in this city
came to make arrangements about a
set of diamonds. Twas not in the store
at the time and knew nothing of the
matter, so when | came in | let the
same set to another young belle. In
the afternoon No. | came in and asked
significantly if her diamonds had been
cleaned. While she was talking No. 2
put the same question to me. The situ-
alton was very awkward, but | ex-
planned the matter, and all was finally
settled in favor of No. l, the young
ladies pledging each other and me to
eternal secrecy.
"I wouldn't have it get out for the
world, you know, explained No. l.
"Another branch of our business is to
rent silver services. These are very
well paid for. Most of the designs are
antique, and some of them have figured
in many Boston homes as highly
treasured heirlooms. At weddings we
frequently furnish large collections of
bric-a-brac and other articles to swell
the number of gifts and make fine
display. We rarely get much for this,

Vagaries OF the Demented.

Wards Island was the scene of I'M
usual festivity yesterday. The quarries
/ ut the south side of the island echoed
with the sounds of music, the splashing
| of water and the shouts of merry
| bathers. Beneath rude shed on the
waters edge an ebony negro twanged
a guitar and sang an exquisite melody
about his hopes of having a 'sweet-
heart to buy me cider" while two
others danced before an absorbed audi
ence of about 400 gentlemen, who rep
resented the tractable inmates of the
city asylum for the insane. These 400
persons with bees in their bonnets were
enjoying picnic gotten up for their
benefit by the authorities-an enjoy it
they did hugely. Besides the guitar
a fiddler assisted in making things as
melodious as possible, and a gentleman
who labors under the hallucnation that
he is Gilmore's band and comprises
sixty pieces or more. was doing his best
to help out the symphony, assuming
rapidly a succession of attitudes eX-
pressive of the requirements of playing
so large number of instruments at
once. Others of the picnicers were
| disporting themselves in small creek
and plunging around in the water. AS
rule it was observed that no
one had much to say to any
| one else. On the contrary,
each one seemed to move
about regardless of his neighbor and
self-absorbed. When the superintend-
ent, DR.. Macdonald, who was in
| charge, spoke to one of them himself,
| the patient would rouse himself, smile
feebly, and plunge at once into discus
sion of his favOrite illusion. One pa
! tent, tall man with ilorid complex
ION, who wore a green paper shade
over his eyes and chicken feather
over his right ear, stated with great
confidence that he was John the Bap-
| fist, and had been placed on the island
by the Almighty as His agent for re-
formatory purposes. He presented to
q reporter in confidence q ragged
looking letter, tied up with a green
thread. which he said he had that
morning received from President Gar
field. Arm in arm with this patient
was Mr.. John Jacob Aston, who readily
| introduced himself as the great mil
lionaire. and offered to give the super
intendent $4,000 carloads of gold to
land him on the New York shore. Ma
poleon Bonoparte casually remarked
that the only civilized people on the
face of the globe were Queen Victoria's
relatives. The rest were Hottentots,
cannibals, lunatics and alligators. AS
an illustration of his theory he pointed
out a gentleman of color who certainly
bore a striking resemblance to the
missing link. The most remarkable
thino about him was his smile, but that
was Sufficient. Coffee" said the SUI
perintendent, laying his hand upon his
arm. "Coffee, smile" Upon which the
ape-like gentleman opened a mouth
which threw that of the late Mr. Backus
into the shade and displayed cavern
GUS development of jaw and set OF mo-
lars which would have done credit to
primeval cave man. "Smile again;

Coffee repeated the performance with
an evident satisfaction in the possession

PERSEPOLIS.


Here is the royalty of ruin; naught
OF later pomp the desert stiffness mars;
Alone these columns face the fiery sun,
Alone they watch beneath the midnight stars
Forests have sprung to life in colder chimes,
Grown stalwart, nourished many savage
brood,
Ripened to green age, fallen to decay,
Since this gray grove of marble voiceless
stood.
Not voiceless once, when, like rainbow wool
Yelling the azure of the Persian sky,
Curtains of crimson, violet and gold
In folds of priceless texture hung on highI
And what have sun and shadow left to us?
What glorious picture in this marble frame
Ever, as soundless centuries roll by,
Gives this lone mount its proudest, dearest
fame2
The sculptured legend on yon polished cliff
Has lost its meaning. Persia gray and old,
Upon her bed of roses sleeps away
The ages, all her tales of triumph told.
But here Queen Esther stood; and still the
World,
In vision rapt, beholds that peerless face,
When, with a smile which won a throne, she
gave
Joy to her king and freedom to her race.
