strong man after sleep, and shaking her

strong man after sleep, and shaking her invincible locks. Methinks l see her as an eagle moving her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam ;purging and unsealing her long-abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly radiance, while the whole noise of timorous and docking birds, with those also that love the twilight, Hut ter about amazed at what she means, and in their envious gabble would prognosti- cate year of sects and schisms." When ever Truth, Liberty or Freedom are un- der his ken, he no longer can restrain his massive wings, but must break away into these outbursts of prophecy, hope and poetry.
 Byron has been accused of preaching liberty and practicing tyranny, by MT. Knight, and believe with great deal of justice. The same thing, only in a different form, believe of Milton. can hardly forbear thinking that if there ever was any merriment under his roof, he was always, whenever he deigned to be ovial, ready to "smile with superior love" as Adam always does to Eve, and maybe to advise her how
 Beauty is excelled by manly grace
 And wisdom, which alone is truly fair.n But in Milton l am ready to excuse any fault in his nature imputed to him, how ever great it may be, for the reason that be probably has more of what, for want of handler term, shall designate gen. jus proper, than any other man that ever lived.
 When Shakespeare takes his pen in hand we may rest assured that we will have lyrical exhortation to cry, "God fol England, Harry and St. George" that no one else except Shakespeare could have framed in as delightful speech but l believe he could no more have crushed Salmasius than Milton could have drawn Falstaff" or" Othello." In Mill ton we have mind that was born to en- dure, to be tossed about in the stormy vortex of civil war, on the bosom of whose distorted, tormented currents, so many light barks were snapped and shivered, but 1t only served to heighten Milton's inspiring confidence in himself, to make firmer and irmer the grip on the helm, and keener and acuter his eye in detecting the pitiless brush of the lurking, keel wounding breaker. 1 can not better re- lieve myself of all the veneration, the un- bounded veneration, feel for his life and writings, than to advise your readers to read attentively Macaulay's masterly dis sertation upon them, a work to which never recur but with redoubled gratitude to Macaulay, and with increased adoration of the genius and virtues of John Milton, the poet, the statesman, the philosopher, the glory of English literature, the cham pion and the martyr of English liberty"

An English Opinion.
San Francesca Alta. |

An English coachman, evidently a fresh importation, was holding forth in a saloon much frequented by his country. men yesterday afternoon. Repeated mugs of ale had loosened his tongue, and his opinion of San Francisco aristocracy flowed fast and free.
 like the hold gent we'll enough" ]" said the coachman, but the ladies hof the family don't suit me bit. They 'aven't the right style habout them, you know; and then they are too fond of showing my haccent hoff when they visit people who 'aven't an English coachman. They Thomas me all the time. Iris Thomas, don't you know where Mrs. - lives p When reply they say, Thomas is awfully English lived with a marquis before we took him. Then know the hold man is hafraid of me when l wait on the table, fear he'll do something crooked with his knife. They all seem sort of awk'ard when Pm in the 'ouse, because suppose, they don't feel sure ttey are doing the right thing. The hold man likes to talk to me habout the great people at 'ome, and give him new dock or marquis every day. The last dock took him so that he talked of raising my wages at the bend of the month, and 'eard him telling the missus that 'Thom- as was a real treasure"
 How do you get along with the other servants, Thomas" asked an acquain- tance.
 " The 'ousemaid is pretty, she's Hirish, and she believes hall hof us should be blowed up. They may talk of their har- istocracy 'ere, but there hain't any haris- tocracy. My people is vulgar, lawfully vulgar. The young man is friendly, but he's vulgar, too. He comes into the sta. ble with bottle of whisky and hasks me low the Henglish young men hact, an hif never saw young lord that he re- minded me hof. never did, but tell i'm he's the born himage of one know, and this pleases i'm, and he brings hout the cigars. never saw people so greedy for heverything Hinglish. I'm not sur prised those New York girls run away with hour fellows hif their young men hare the same as I've met ere"
 This interesting diseuisition was cut short by the entrance of the young mas ter himself, who greeted the coachman with warmth, and in lordly manner invited him to drink.

A French Swindler.
lExchange.J


 A French nobleman played game of ecarte with foreign count. The latter won, and the Frenchman pulled out ten thousand francs and handed them to the winner, who quietly secured them in his pocketbook and went home. Early the next morning gentleman of aristocratic bearing and decorated with the order of the Legion d'Honneur, was shown into the apartment of the foreign count who was still asleep.
 Monsieur" he said, in tones trem- bling with excitement, "you hold in your hands the honor of whole family"
 "Indeed"
 '" Kindly tell me, was it you who played with M. de X.?"
 "Yes."
 "You won 10 900 francsW
 "Quite correct"
 "And he paid you2"
 "Yes, in bank notes. Ihave them here" 1" Well, sir, the notes are falsew
 "ls it possible ?"
 " It is, alas, too truel Last night we were apprised of the nefarious practices Of our relative, and this morning l started oil at daybreak to cali here and ask you Tn heavens name to exchange the notes for ten others which l have brought with me-"
 The noble foreigner, out of considera- ton for his visitors grief, exchanged the notes. But on returning to the club the same evening, he was not a little sur prE cd to meet his opponent of the pre- vlous night, and, what was still more sur prising the latter pronosei to have his revenge. The foreigner curtly refused, and the other insisted, which led to an explanation. The count drew from his pocket the fresh notes he had received in the morning. The French noblemau, quite stupe6ed, examined them carefully, and found that they were false. The gentleman with the decoration turned out to be notorious thief and swindler, who had thus contrived to net 10 ,ooo francs in genuine bank notes.

RxerybodY.s Air-Brake.

"Yes, sah," said Uncle Zach, "Pse watched it forty years an it's as sea De fust of May an Christmas day of de same year alters comes on de same week day"
 Further conversation proved Uncle Zach most incredulous person. Chanc- ing to mention Dr. CarveT's feat of break ing glass balls with rife, he said:
 heerd bout dat shootin' and knowed right of it wasn't squar'; dat was Yan- kee trick, boss, sho's you born"
 "What was the trick2"

 cident." Then we had further to explain how the force of the brake was obtained, to which Uncle Zach responded:
 " Look here boss, you sholy don't 'spect me to b'leeve dat foolishness Why, de biggest harricane whatever blowed couldn't stop dis train, runnin' forty mile hour. An you think gwine to b'leeve little pipe full of wind under de kyars can do it? No, sah-reel"
 There are great many Uncle Zachs who judge everything simply by appear ances. The air-brake does not seem to be very powerful thing, but power and efficiency are not necessarily equivalent to bigness and pretense.
 Phillip Beers, Esq, who resides at the Uaited otates Hotel, New York city, and is engaged in raising subscriptions for the New York World Bartholdi pedestal fund, was once upbraided by distin- guished relative who wa; a physician, for commenting in such enthusiastic terms, remedy that cured him of bright's disease eight years ago. He said: Sir, has the medical profession with all its power and experience of thousands of years, anything that can cure this terrible disorder ?" No, no, that is true, there is no mistake about 1t but that Warmers safe cure is really a wonderfully effective preparation. That remedy is an air. brake" that every man can apply and this fact explains why it has saved so many hundreds of thousands of lives.- CoIyrigAktd Used 6y beymission of American Rural Home.

George Washington was-whzt Mr. Low ell is not-of pure English descent. He even had inherited large measure of the stately dignity of the older English aris- tocracy. But it is impossible to conceive of his using such language as this to any group of Englishmen. His own selEre- spect as an American. although he was born under English rule, and had served an English king, would have restrained him from such 8 claim. And an Ameri- can minister parading such a claim in London society is a spectacle which we trust the country will be spared for the future.

MT. lowells Anglomonia.
IThe American.I

The fervidness of MT. Lowelrs Anglo monia, which finds expression in his re- cent utterances, is such as to satisfy us that the critics of his diplomatic career are not greatly in the wrong. He is so carried away as to even forget the facts of his own descent. Although he is Scotch on his mothers side-as his mid ale name indicates-he tells the inter- viewer "There is nothing but English blood in my veins, and have often re- marked that was just as much an Eng lishman as they were" If these were Mir. Lowelrs exact words-and we have seen no correction of them-they show in him deplorable confusion of ideas as to the meaning of nationality. English descent makes no man an Englishman.

Why do Doctors Prescribe Liquor

Why do Doctors Prescribe Liquors ? Because they know not what else to do or because sometimes little liquor serves to kindle the exhausted fires of digestion. But this liquor prescription is bad busi- ness for the patients, for it makes drunk ards out of large majority of them. Browns Iron Bitters does not kindle a temporary fire. It nourishcs, enriches, strengthens, purifies. It drives out de- bility and dyspepsia, and sets the invig- orated system at work on a basis of health.
