An Old Story Revived.

y story IS going the rounds at the
expense of Congressman-elect Tom
OchlltTee, which the Boston Irau-
eser vouches for as entirely correct
by that distinguished Texas states
man. Once when he and Mace were
both staying at the st. Charles hotel
IN New Orleans, he remarked to a
friend that the 'slugger' did not look
IKE a very quick man, and finally
made bet of basket of wine that
he could give him a blow and escape
punishment by apologizing, before
the tighter had time to put up his
lists. Accordingly, Ochiltree APP.
preached the champion of the ring
and without word, struck him on
the nose with his open hand. But
before he could open his mouth to
utter the apology, the bystanders
saw vision of a fiery red head and
mustache, and nice new dress suit
presumed to inclose the figure of a
man, knocked from the end of the
bar through the folding doors out on
the sidewalk. Ochiltree was at
once picked up and repaired by his
friends. Then they assisted him in
to Mace's presence, and he explained
that he had tapped the worthy's
nose merely to carry out wager,
and that he was which was
quite evident. "Then that's hall
right" quoth Mace, turning to the
crowd; "and I'm glad Hi didn't it

The Social Glass.

There sat two glasses, filled TO the brim,
Ga a rich mans table, rim to rim
One was ruddy and red as blood,
And one as clear as the crystal food.
Said the glass Of wine to its paler
brother:
''Let us tell the tales of the past to each
other.
can tell of the banquet and revel aud
mirth
And the proudest and grandest souls on
earth,
Fell under my touch, as though struck by
blight,
Where ] was king, for ruled in might.
From the heads of kings have torn the
crown,
From the heights Of fame have hurle d
men down;
have blasted many an honored name;
have taken virtue and given shame
| have tempted the youth with sip, a
taste,
That has made his future barren waste
Far greater than king am !,
Or than any army beneath the sky;
| have made the arm of the driver fail,
And sent the train from the iron rail.
have made good ships go down at sea,
And the shrieks OF the lost we're sweet 10
me,
For they said: "Behold, how great you
be,
Fame, strength, wealth, genius before
you fall,
For your might and strength are over all. ,
Ho no pale brother, laughed the wine,
"Can you boast of deeds as great as
mineP'
Said the water glass: 81 cannot boast
OF a king dethroned or a murdered host,
But can tell of a heart, once sad,
By my crystal drops made light and glad;
OF thirsts ! have quenched. OF brows I've
laved,
OF hands | have cooled and souls I have
saved;
| have leaped through the valley and dash
ed down the mountain,
Flowed in the river and played in the
fountain
Slept in the sunshine, and dropped from
the sky,
And everywhere gladdened the land
scspe and eye;
/ have eased the hot forehead of fever and
pain,
| have made the parched meadow grow
fertile with grain
| can tell of the powerful wheel of the
mill
| can grind out -four and turn at my will
| can tell of manhood debased by you
That lifted up and crowned anew;
! cheer, help, | strengthen and aid
gladden. the heart of man and maid
set the chained wine-captive free,
And all are better for knowing me-.
These are the tales they told each other
The glass of wine and its paler brother,
AS they sat together, filled to the brim,
On the rich mans table, rim to rim.

A Testimentary Curiosity

In 1877 man who died in Berlin
leaving behind him fortune of 3d.
600 marks, surprised all who knew
him by devising that $4,000 marks
should go to the authorities of his
native place, and that the remain
der should be divided between nine
relatives and friend with whom he
had quarreled, the share of any one
of the legatees becoming forfeited if
they followed the testator to the
grave. His relatives religiously
obeyed the dead mans decree, but
the estranged friend remembering
old times, could not refrain from
quietly going to the church yard
and paying his last respects to the
deceased. BY and by codicii came
to light directing that if any one of
the ten legatees under the will
should disobey the injunction re-
garding the last ceremoney he was
10 receive the bulk Of the money left
t. the testator's town, and, thanks
tothe shrewd device, the man who
thought more OF his friendship than
of the old friends money, found
himself comfortably provided for
the lest of his life.
