GREEN LEAVES COME AGAIN

When the green leaves come again,
When the sky IS blue and clear,
When in every nook and glen
Fair pale primrose tufts appear;
When the moss is softly spread
Underneath the beechen tree,
And within its messy bed
Sings the thestreamlet merrily
When bright Spring with lavish hand
Scattering gifts, begins her reign
All! we'll be happy, then, love,
When the green leaves come again.
When the green leaves come again;
Strange the words sound of my song
When the rain beats on the pane,
And the fierce wind sweeps along;
In the darkening room alone
On the leaden sky l gaze,
While nay thoughts afar have flown
To the scenes of other days,
Wildly, wildly hoans the wind.
Sadly, sadly falls the rain,
But well be happy yet, love,
When the green leaves come again
Hence then, signs and sad repinings,
Come sweet sunshine after rain;
Show, O clouds, your silver Innings,
Quick, We green leaves, bursf again
Aid, fair winds, the vessel sailing,
Homeward. o er the distant sea
let notime nor tide be failing,
Bring the absent back to me.
To the JOY that Spring can bring,
Weighs as naught the Winter pair
Silent birds break out and sing,
When the green leaves come aga5n-

JESSIE BENTON FREMONT.
The Brilliant Wife of the Once Famous
"Pathflnder."

| had a talk with the famous Jessie
Fremont the other day. 1t is very
easy to see at glance that she was a
very handsome girl. Her good looks,
however, have not entirely departed.
Rather, beauty has changed to state
illness. She is large and stout, and
combs her luxuliant hair straight
back. She is to all appearances as
happy and contented as when a girl.
Notwithstanding n age has changed her
looks, | am told it has not changed
her manners in the least. She still.
graces the drawing-room with as
much ease and composure as ever, and
talks with the the same brilliancy.
She is daughter Of the noted Thom-
as Benton, of Missouri, for many years
United States Senator from that
State. She met Fremont in Wash
ington, whereupon the latter became
frantically in love with her. Her
father and mother were much ayerse
to the match. and did every thing to
break it. The young couple, however,
were determined, and were married by
a Catholic priest, no Protestant cler-
gyman consentipg to perform the Ger
emony. Although Senator and Mrs.
Benton were very angry, reconcllla-
ton soon took place.
Mrs. Fremont was woman OF re-
markable courage and fOrtitude. She
Joined her husband in many Of his
Journeys in the West until they final
ly settled in California. In the early
days of California struggle ensued
as to whether slavery should exist
there. The pro-slavery party, so the
story goes, labored with the women of
the State, telling them that unless
they kept slaves they would be slaves
themselves. Mrs. Fremont was ap-
preached, whereupon she stoutly re-
Piled: No! Rather than have slavery
in California, I'll do my own work. [
have done it so far; and I'll do it
still!' Slavery wasn't recognized in
California after that.
In the summer of 1856 Fremont
was chosen as the Republican nomi-
nee for President. A glance at the
files of newspapers Of the times con-
vinces one of the bitterness Of the
contest, and of the important part
Mrs. Fremont played in the campaign.
Her name was in everybody's mouth,
and was the subject of campaign
songs. But Gen. Fremont was de-
feated, and Jessie never entered the
White House as the Presidents wife.
"Yes, we have lived in New York
ever since the war;" she said. land are
as happy as ever in our old age. The
General is as young and vigorous as
any of you, if he is Il years of age.
He has never worn glasses in his life,
never had a tooth flled-and very
seldom has had anything to do with
doctors. No, Of course, he does no
business to speak of, but lives very
quiet and happy life"
Should Mr.. and Mrs. Fremont be
spared two or three years longer, they
will celebrate their golden wedding.

A good story is told of Artemus
Ward, when travelling on slow-going
Southern road soon after the War.
When the conductor was punching
his ticket, Artemus remarked: Does
this railroad company allow passen-
gers to give advice, if they do SO in a
respectable manner ?" The conductor
replied in grnff tones that he guessed
so. WELL" Artemus went on, ''it
occurred to ME it would be well to
detach the cow-catcher from in front
of the engine and hitch it to the rear
of the train. For, you see, we are not
liable to overtake a COW; but what's
to prevent COW strolling into this
car and biting a passenger?"
