that DR.. Holmes has never allowed
himself to be rs funny as he could
since the melancholy fate of his servant.
As it is his is the keenest wit and most
delightful humor in perhaps all En-
clish literature. What could be o
more accurate and reasonable descrip-
ton of the amount Of pie that he took
than his of ''nearly forty-iye degrees. "
and why did nobody ever think Of
measuring pie that way before! What
more delicious line in the language is
there than that which paints the de-
bilitated condition of the Zone Hoss

The Drum-MaJor.

1t would seem as strange the maker
OF all things created music and musi-
clans simply as n background. against
which the gorgeous drum-major poses
conspicuousy, says the Ho0Ster. Array
ed in his particolored garb, he struts.
q monarch of all he surveys, at the
head of his no-account cavalcade. The
genius who toots the fiat cornet, and
wears a golden seam down his trouser
legs, is fiat failure compared TO the
man at the head with polar bearskin
poised upon his scented locks, and Il
huge, German siver-headed baton in
his fist. Even the bass-drum fiend, that
well-worn wonder TO little boys, is cast
completely into the shade by the tower
ing Adonis, with strap under his chin
and q dog-whis;le fastened TO the left
side of his swelling bosom, Time was
when the youngest and best-looking
man in the band, viz. the snare-drum-
mer, held warm place in the hearts
of We susceptible maidens, Alas! The
poor snare-drummer snares no more;
the lordly and awe-inspiring drum
major takes the bakery from Alpha TO
Omega. and ruins hearts like Apollo of
old. Give a growing boy the choice
between occupying seat in the senate
chamber or marching in gala-day
uniform at the head of the brass band
and he will scorn the empty honors of
honored statesmapship and cleave to
the inspiring hope Of some day becom-
ing full-iiedged drum-major. Under
that towering bearskin hat is weight
of brains which disdains to groyel
among the commonplace items' of
notes, fats, sharps, and trombones.
He often carries a bottle of champagne
under that hat, too; and when he comes
back from the German picnic he carries
about two kegs of lager under that
gorgeous wajstbelt of his. In all the

man holds higher niche than he Of

POETRY.
SPOKEN AFTER SORROW.
JULIET G. MARSH.

know Of something sweeter than the chime
OF fairy bells that run
Down mellow windows oh, fairer than the
time
You sing about, in happy, broken rhyme,
or butterflies and sun.
But oh, as many tabled leagues away
As the Tomorrow, when the cast breaks
gray,
Is this which lies, somewhere most still and
far,
Between the sunset and the dawn's last star
And known ~ Yesterday.
! know of something better, dearer too,
Than this first rose you hold,
All sweet with June, and dainty with the
dew,
The summers golden promise breathing
through
It's white leaves tender fold;
oh, falrer, when the late winds gathering
slow
Behind the night, shall, moaning sad and
Across the world, make all its music dumb.
Oh, dearer than the earliest rose to come,
VIII be the last 10 90.
know of something sadder than this nest
or broken eggs you bring,
With such sweet trouble STIRRING at your
breast
For love undone the mother birds unrest,
That yesterday could sing.
Ny little child, too grIeved to want my kiss,
DO forget the sweetness they will miss
Who built the home? My heart with yours
makes mo n;
But oh, that nest from which the birds have
flown
Is sadder far than this.

was in England in 1874 in search OF
curiosities he learned that Shaks-

was proposed to tear it down and put
\ store on the site. The great show
man thought he saw chance to secure

equivalent 10 $4,000 for the house.
Ais idea was TO bring the structure
bodily to America and put it on exhibi,

A man who had not been long in
this country was employed as a
domestic in a family, and upon one
occasion he was sent to the express
office to obtain package. He was
about to leave with it when tho clerk
called his attention to tho three letters
G. o. ID.
Pat had no idea what the letters
meant but he cleverly guessed at
them.
"It's all right" no said; "tho ovid
mans good for the money"
But you know what these letters
say, PatP"
'Indade, do. Call on Dad. It's
as plain as the nose on your face"
There is almost pathetic truth in
the understanding conveyed in this
old story. Many n man is bounded to
death by the unreasonable calls made
upon him by members Of his family
who are educated up to this very end
by himself, at first in that fond, slavish
spirit of indulgence which the American
father displays towards his offspring,
as If it were some kind of an unthink-
ing mechanical pet, and afterwards ON
the unfailing principle that they who
SOW tho wind will reap the whirlwind.

Business Is dull, notes must be met,
but appearances must be kept up. Mrs.

At first he refuses firmly, but as ono
reason after another is brought to bear
on him. like battering-ram persuasion,
he gives away. New bonnets and
dresses are bought, arailway journeys
expenses betrayed. and that is only
the beginning. Incidental expenses are
always the straws that break tho patient

The Presidents Message.

Upon the re-assembling of Congress
Monday President Arthur submitted
his last annual message. 1t is a
lengthy document but like all of
President Arthur's state papers is a
dignifed, conversative review of the
country's condition. He treats at
length of our foreign relations, which
are reported in a satisfactory condi-
ton. lie recommends reduction Of
taxation and suggests the abolition
of all internal taxes except on spirits.
He informs Congress Of treaties pro-
iected or in contemplation; refers to
various topics of home affairs; rec
ommends the suspension of the coin
age of silver dollars ; expresses regret
at the paucity of the naval appropria-
ton: discusses the various depart
ment papers denounces Mormonism
praises civil service reform; recon-
mends a pension for Gen. Grant and
sorrowfully bids the people adieu, tell
ing them that the message is the last
he will write.
The paper is not one of much i'm
portanee. 1t is neither grand no
great but a plain, careful and com
mon-place document. 1t does no
strike one as being the utterance of
statesman. but it bears the impress
of an honest man. President Arthur
administration is clos ed, so far as hi
public papers are concerned, and h
will leave the high Office he assume,
under such trying circumstance
holding the respect of the whole pee
pie. He is the best President tn
county has had since the war and hi
party no doubt bitterly regrets nov
that he was not given an endorse
ment.

The last number Of the Madison
vile Times contained the valedictory
of It's editor and owner, Zeno. f.
Young, and the paper ceased to exist,
after having been successfully COLI
Quoted for nearly 10 years. For over
twelve years Mr.. Young has been its
editor and proprietor and under his
management it was model country
paper. He has sold the entire Office
and outfit to the Cleaner and the two
papers will be merged into one. The
terrible accident which befell the edi-
tor last summer and his continued
disability, the sickness of his family
and business reverses that followed
his personal tmisiortunes, are given
as reasons for the step. No man in
the Kentucky Press would be missed
more than Zeno Young. His clear,
concise, fearless, and forcible style Of
dealing with things made his paper
favorite with his brother-editors.
He made the Times a live, newsy and
readable paper, and at the time Of
his almost fatal fall from his Office
window, the paper was prosperous
and safely established on a money
making basis. The Times is no more,
but we trust its genial editor may
not long remain out of the profession
which he is by nature and education
so well fitted 10 adorn. His plans
for the future are not yet matured. His
own health is not yet regained, his
wife is an invalid and for while al
least he will probably remain inact-
i've. He has many friends in his pro
fession who hope to see him again OF
the tripod, as soon as he is physically
able to embark in business. The
publishers of the Cleaner are energet
