Miss cleveland's Quotations.

Alex. N. Menil, in St. Louis Magazine.l
 Miss Presidents sister Cleveland does not seem to be over famous for the cor rectness of her quotations. In that dull and stupid attempt at wit, "All Abou, the smiths" she says:
 "Lady Mary Wortley Montagu said the world was composed of men, women and Smiths"
 If Lady Mary said anything of the kind, she must have said it personally to Miss Cleveland; bat as she died in r762, and as there is some reason to believe that Miss Cleveland's girlhood did not extend quite that far back, it is probable that the quotation meant is the one in which she declares that the world consists of men, women and Herveys."
 And, by the way, as she admires Lady Mary so much, why don't the presidents sister"-who is so disting guished an ad vocate of woman's rights, so-called-give the world the benefit of a good, str .ns saying of Lady May's2 Something in the style, for instance, of that famous statement the sum total of which was, that the fact that she could not m arry a woman, went far toward reconciling her with beng a woman.

Helpless Upon a Fssendless Sea !

Helpless Upon a FrSendless Sea
 Who, in taking passage in . great transatlantic steamer, does not feel a thrill of exultation over her magnificent power. Against her the storm king may hurl his elemental forces, nor pierce her armor, nor stop her onward course.
 But let me describe a scene when, one morning in mid-ocean, there came an alarm from the pilot house followed by a cry: "The ships rudder is losti" From the confident expression, consternation came to every face. The wheelman being helpless to direct her course, the vessel was at the mercy of wind and wave.
 The captain had been negligent-the hangings of the rudder were allowed to wear weak, and suddenly it had dropped deep into the sea
 Strong in intellect, in physical vigor, in energy and in ambition, man confronts, undarnted, gigantic tasks and commands applause for his magnificent achieve ments. But, all unexpectedly, an alarm comes s- the rudder of his constitution is gone. He has been careless of it's preser- vation mental strain, nervous excitement, irregular habits, over-work, have de. stroyed the action of bis kidneys and liver. This would not occur were War ner's safe cure used to maintain vigor. And even now it may restore vitality to those organs and give back to the man that which will lead him to the haven of his ambi,ion.-He TIaveIey.

Where the Negroes Game From
 IExchanRe.I


 There are few negroes in this country says a newspaper writer, who know from what African tribes they spvang, and jus, where their ancestors lived in the dark continent, before they came to America in the holds of slave ships. By far the larger part of our African fellow-citizens came originally from the dense forests oi Senegambia, Liberia, and Guinea, many from the low downs and lightly-tmbered region of the lower Congo, and a much smaller mum Ter from the half sterile sea- board of Portuguese Angola. The fur ther inland station eff white slave dealers was at Bona, on the Congo, only sixty five miles from the ocean. The territory from which they filled their slave pens extended inland only as far as Isanglia, Stanley's second station. one hundred and fifty miles from the coast. Tas American slave trade, except in the Mi ger basin, was traffic in coast negroes. Behind the mountain barriers that divided the low-lying seaboard from the plateaus of central Africa, dwelt millions of other and very different people whom Living stone and his successors have made known to the world.
 According to the testimony of all trav- elers, the American negroes are for the most part, derived from the least intelli- gent and the most unfortunate of the Af- rican races. The subdivisions of the Bantu family, from the Niam-Niams north of the equator to the Kafirs of the southern coast are quite distinct in their physical, mental, and social development from the true negro. The Congo ex- plorers tell us that the higher they ascend the nver the finer the human type becomes. The typical Bantu is pictured to us as tall and upright, with small hands and well.shaped feet, high, thin nose, beard and mustache, and a plentiful crop of hair. These inland tribes could not be enslaved by the coast chiefs. They have never paid tribute in men or ivory to their weaker neighbors of the seaboard. It was not until Arabs from Zanzibar came among them with fire arms that they began to fill foreign slave markets of Egypt, Turkey and Persia.

 The grandfather of the Rev Joseph w Sessions, of Chaplin, was an exemplary Christian man of high standing in church and state, and Congres ational deacon At Q time of great scarcity of provisions bordering on famine, the good old man spied deer coming out of the woods near his house one Sunday afternoon whereupon he seized his gun and shot it For this act the church arraigned him for discipline. He pleaded work of necessity and mercy and justified the act :; notwith. standing all this tne church directed the pastor to read his sentenc. of excommu. nication from the pulpit, the deacon being ordered to stand meanwhile As the pastor was about to read, the deacon reached behind him, took up his gun which be had secretly brought with him, ieveled i, at the pastors head and said in tones of determination, s'i iorb that paper being read from the pulpit" The pastor quietly remarked amid his aston ishmert "Al things are lawful unto me- but all things arc not expedient. 1 do no, think it expedient to read this paper"

 gard to the well-known song:
 Nc enc 70 love, none 70 caress.
 Travelling alone through life's wilderness, etc
 The author of this song lives here in Washington, and he boards at a hotel within square ot the White House. He IS now man of perhaps forty, and he wrote the song many years ago. He was in love with beautiful girl, and the day was fixed for their marriage. h the in terval between the engagement and this day the war broke out, and the young man enlisted. He vas on the field when the time approached for his wedding.
 It was on the eve of a great battle, and that the first battle in which the young man was to take part. He wrote to his sweetheart, asking her to postpone the day of the marriage until after the fight. This she refused to do. and said if he did not return and keep his part of the en- gagereas she would consider the en- gagement of. The young man preferred to trust to luck in regard to the engage ment to being considered coward in running away from his first battle, and remained on the field. His lady love, however, was so piqued at the refusal that she persisted in her rejection of his suit and married another man. Inspired with the feeling of the assertion, the re- jected wrote the song which had such a wide run.
 He not only wrote the song, but he re- mained true to his first love, and for some time, the story goes, he has been living here with his mother. Not long ago, however, his loves husband died, and since that time he has renewed the &C., quaintAnce of the widow, who, though older than when he went to the war, IS still charming. The old flame has, it is said, revived in the fair widows breast, and there is fair prospect of a mash.

THROUGH THE MIST.
BY LucIEN ARNOLD.

l. sit in an upper room,
 And l watch the misty wreath That veils this morning of June, And covers the world beneath; And out from hidden tree The song of the sparrow comes, And up from the dale to me The mill stream plashes and huns. The low of the COW I hear, And the tinkling bell of the sheep, And the song of a robin near, That called me from my sleep. So know the world is there, Though the mist is gray and chill; And think it must be far. The sounds have a cheery trill. We stand in misty morn: The way is shadow and drear, The depths are trackless and lorn, The soul has many fear; Our hearts are listening here To the sounds of the unseen land, The land of the dead and dear, With the mist upon it's strand. Men tell us the path is long, They tell us the end is naught; But the mist holds a murmuTed song That our listening ears have caught. And faith in the shore have we, For the song it is wondrous sweet, And we feel that land must be A glorious land to greet.
