Grant and Stephens.

The following story is credited to
Gsn grant, He said t6st e%ShRi eSd f on
him and President Lincoln, in Virginia,
he saw Alexander II. Stephens for the
first time. He had often heard much
of the Southern statesman, and had
supposed him to be very little man
but on seeing him in company with the
other Commissioners he thought him
astonishingly big. Stephens wore a
huge overcoat, made of some rude ma
terial-coarser, the General said, than
any Canadian cloth he had ever seen.
The collar was more comprehensive
than any he had come across, the tails
touched the ground, and the circumfer-
ence was in keeping with the rest of
the ample proportions. In Grants
headquarters Stephens took off the
coat and revealed himself the slender
and in every way diminutive man he
had been represented to be. 1t was
the garment that had afforded bulk.
The Peace Commission went up on
the York River to see Lincoln, and a
few days later the President came down
to meet Grant.
"Did you see Stephens?" Lincoln
asked
"Yes, sir" replied Grant.
"See him in his overcoat?"
Eyes, sir"
"See him take it off?"
Eyes, sir"
"Well," and Lincoln roared with
laughter, SAINT that the littlest ear out
of the biggest shuck you ever saw in
your life?"
Grant told the story with gusto, and
seemed to especially recall Lincoln's
quick sense of the ludicrous.

Obscure Men Rappiest in Wedlock.

No woman will love man better fol
being renowned or prominent. Though
he be the first among men, she will be
prouder, not fonder; as is often the
case, she will not even be proud. But
give her love, appreciation, kindness,
and there is no sacrifice she would not
make for his content and comfort. The
man who loves her we'll is her hero and
king. No less hero to her, though
he is not to any other; no less a king,
though his only kingdom is her heart
and home. If is mans own fault il
he is unhappy with his wife, in nine
cases out of ten. 1t is very exception.

Advice 10 a Young Man.

Give the poor man chance? My son,
the poor man takes about all the
chances, without waiting to have one
given him. If you give him any more
chances than he takes he will soon own
everything, and run the Ohio man out
of the country. The fact is, we must
curtail the poor mans chances little.
We must sit down on him, and hold
him down, and give the rich man a
chance. The poor man has had things
his own way too long. He has crowded
the rich man out. But for the poor
man this old world would have cast
anchor 5000 years ago, and be covered
with moss and barnacles to-day, like a
United States man of war. George
Peabody was boy in grocery; Ed
gar Allan Poe was the son of strolling
PLAYERS; John Adams was the son of a
farmer; Benjamin Franklin, the printer,
was the son of tallow-chandler; Gift
ford, the first editor of the Quarterly
ReUielU, was common sailor; Ben
Jonson was bricklayer; the father
of Shakespeare couldn't spell and
couldn't write his own name-neither
can you; even his illustrious son couldn't
spell it twice alike; Robert Burns was O
child of poverty, the eldest of seven
children, The family of poor bankrupt
John Milton was the son of a scrivener
Andrew Jackson was the son of poor
Irishman; Andrew ohnson was tailor
Garfield was boy of all work, too poor
even to have a regular trade; Grant was
tanner; Lincoln keelboatman an6
common farm hand and the Prince o.
Wales is the son of queen. 1t is his
misfortune, not his fault; he couldnN
help it, and he can't help it now. Bu
you see, my dear boy, that's all there
is of him; he's just the Prince of Wales
and he's only that because he can't hell
it. Be thankful, my son, that yor
weren't born prince; be glad that yot
didn't strike II the first time. If there
is patch on your knee and your ell
bows are glossy there is some hope fol
you, but never again let me hear you
say that the poor man has no chance
True, a poor lawyer, q poor doctor,
poor printer, a poor workman of an,
kind, desires to have none; but tn,
poor man monopoliZes about all TIN
chances there are. Put Laban ant
Jacob in business together anywhere
and in about fourteen years Jacob will
not only own about four-fifths of tn
cattle, but he will have married abou
one-half his partners family. Go to
my son; let us give the rich man
chance. Bob B1Irdette, in the Brook
