Born In the White House.

The first child born in the White House
is clerk at the present time in the Post
Office Department in this city. She is the
daughter of the private secretary of ex-
President Jackson. With her own daugh-
ter, one of the most attractive and accom-
p.ished young ladies in Washington. she
is living in a modest way, no doubt dream
ing, some days, of her early life and its
surroundings. There is romance con.
nected with this lady's life: When her
father was an occupant of the White
House with Jackson she was in her child
hood. She was kicking and screaming
baby with red hair. After Jackson re-
turned to the hermitage in Tennessee his
private secretary remained in Washing
ton. The daughter grew. In time she
became beautiful young lady, as pleas.
ing in manners as she was attractive in
person. She was conspicuous in society
Men prominent at that time were her es-
corts. A brother of ex-President Polk
fell in love with her, sought her hand in
marriage and was accepted. He was a
handsome man and possessed of more in
telligence than his brother, who served as
chief executive. The young lady father
opposed the proposed match and urged
his daughter to accept the attentions of a
Texas congressman. The congressman
pressed his suit, and though the young
lady loved Polk. in respect to her father S
wishes, she consented to marry him.
Polk was told of the engagement He
opposed it and begged her, who had prom
Used to be his bride, to disregard her par
ent's wishes and elope with him. She
consented. One afternoon while she re-
manned alone at home Polk called for her
in carriage, and she agreed to 90 with
him to the residence of minister, who
lived on Capitol hill. AS the carriage
containing the two was being driven along
Pennsylvania avenue, her father stood in
the front of the old National hotel He
saw the two young people, and, rushing
to the street. stopped the horses. He or
dered his daughter to alight. addressed a
few emphatic words to her companion.
and taking her arm hurried her to his
home. In short time her marriage with
the Texas congressman was announced.
He was an unattractive man, and was
possessed of a most violent temper. The
marriage was not happy one. His
habits were such that. in a comparative
short period, his money as well as her
own was gone. He died few years ago.
and his widow began living the second
chapter of her unfortunate lite-she be-
came a government clerk WASHINGTON

Flowers and the Lawn.

Sow the last batch of candytuft.
Shade choice blooming plants from the

Plants not allowed to seed will yield

Weak brine sprinkled on gravel walks,
or in the joints of brick or stone walks, is

is this not so, but here there is a connec.
ton with the moisture in the earth beneath

Orchard and Garden.

Sow late radishes.
Cut out the black knots.
For pear slugs use air-siacked lime.
Mulch late peas and beans with litter.
Strawberries may follow early peas or
potatoes.
Mellow culture lessons the hurt from
drouth one-balf.
Cut the pot herbs when in flower and
dry in the shade.
If early cucumbers have some of the
shoots thinned out. and little fresh soil
added to the surface of the bed, they will
put on new life, and bear some yet.
Whatever may be said of sodculture
for old orchards. it is certain that newly
set trees will grow ten times as fast if
kept well cultivated and clean of weeds,
as If neglected.
Layering Strawberries on Sod-When
it is considered that year is gained in the
fruting Of new strawberry patch by lay
ering the Young plants into pots in the
summer and setting these out the same
season, 1t is not strange that pot layering
should have become very popular of late
years. While this method has advantages
to the nurseryman who ships plants, those
who have no special need of pot plants can
do better by layering on soda. Take up
some turf and Gu, it into pieces six inches
square. Lower each piece near the old
plants, with the grass side down. The top
surface OF the turf should be a little lower
than the general surface and soil to be
drawn in to make all even. Direct the
layers, from one to three, to each block of
turf. In about one month the young
plants will be well enough rooted that the
turf with the plants may be lifted and
transferred for making the new bed. In
pot lavering there must be frequent water
ing of the pots; by using soda this labor
is dispensed with.

Unmindful of my pain.

And soon will come again.
She stays without. perchance, moment,
To dress her dark brown hair;

Her light step on the stair.

Lest eyes profane should see
Ny cheeks betray the rush of rapture
Her coming brings to me.
She tarries long; but 10, ahisper
Beyond the open door;
And gliding through the quiet sunshine;
A shadow on the floor.
All tits the whispering pine that calls me,
The vine whose shadow strays;
And my patient heart must still await her,
Nor chide her long delays.
But my heart grows sick with weary waiting
As many a time before;
Her foot Is ever at the threshold
Yet never passes DER.

It Will Save Your Life.

Catarrh prevails in this country to an
alarming extent. It's troublesome and
disgusting disease usually induced by neg
lectea colds. and, if allowed to become
chronic, produces Bronchitis, and often
terminates in Consumption. Ernest H.
