In the executive Office OF the United Statos
senate there are preserved all the executive
messages Of presidents Of the United States
from the foundation of the government.
Though not often referred to, some Of these
documents are becoming worn, and recently
the secretary OF the senate caused selections
to be made from the files, with a view to
preserving some Of the interesting auto
graphs in cabinet by themselves. It ap-
pears from this collection that none 81 the
presidents, with the exception OF Washington
and Jefferson, would be marked above 80 for
penrnanship by q civil service commission.
Washington's first contribution TO tho collec-
ton embodies nominations for judges, mar
shals and attorneys for the districts Of New
York and New Jersey; and at the end Of ths
same documents are the nominations of
Thomas jefferson, Edmund Randolph and
Samuel Osgood, for secretary Of state, attor-
ney general and postmaster general respeo-
lively. The signature Is written in fair,
legible band, which would pass to-day for

While clouds grow heavy and thick
In the susica SKY.
His limbs drag hard, he longs
To rest awhile;
Yet over his white, cold lips
Comes never a smile.
For his heart is a soldiers heart,
And his blood runs warm
When he thinks of his brother-men
Asleep in the storm.
Then he shoulders his gun and draws
A quick, deep breath;
What foe shall conquer him now
But the foeman Death.
A soul had sorrowed much
And had waited long
1t had striven as heroes strive
Amid the throng.
Yet firm as an oak that sways
In the boreal breath,
1t saw men fail and die,
Aud smiled on Death.

little palo and carrying one arm in a sling,
but otherwise, to ell appearance, in good
health.
Monk had strong nerves, but lie could not
prevent himself from uttering a wild cry of
horror and wonder At the same moment
Matt went to the young mans side, and with
an air Of indescribeble trust and sweetness,
took his hand-the hand which was free--and
put it to her lips.

Monk recovered himself and laughed
fiercely.

"Oh, there's no difficulty about that!' said
Brinley, looking at him superciously. "In

Jones only wrung his hands and walled,
thinking Of his precious treasure.

tears.
