 Late from the lodge the husband came,
 Late and with staggering step came he; He found the door which bore his name,
 But found no keyhole for his key.
 He dared not ring, the luck1ess wight
 His wife's fierce temper well he knew
 And the chill wind through his whiskers blew.

 Her trunk is packed; but yet is she
 Not free from all distress;
 For down the top, to meet the lock,
 In vain she tries to press,
 And then her loving spouse she calls
 To sit upon the lid:
 He scowls, well knowing what that means,
 But does as he is bid.
 He sits aud bumps himself against
 That trunk lid, but m vain;
 It will not meet although he tries
 With all his might and main:
 He stands on it, he jumps on it,
 He lies on it and SwearS;
 And struggles until off he two
 Suspender buttons tears
 And when his eyes are bulging out
 And twisted is his neck,
 And when his nails are broken eff
 And all his clothes wreck,
 And when he feels that if he makes
 One more attempt he'll burst,
 She, too, sits on that lid. just
 She should have done at first.

["My Sweden in London Society,"
 One great peculiarity of travelling in Swe- den is the extreme quiet and lack of furry. The Swedish are a taciturn and noiseless peo- pie. They do much by signs and never shout; a Swedish crowd makes singularly little sound. Swedes, even of the lowest class, never push or jostle. It is the custom to do so much lowing and hat lifting that one is obliged to move more slowly than in England to give time for all this courtesy. When train leaves a platform, or a steam boat pier, all the lookers-on lift their hats to the departing passengers and bow to them, g compliment returned by the travellers. Ii

 The bill removing electoral disqualified ton from persons who accept gratuitous medical relief, which has passed second reading in the House of Commons, is much more important measure than might be SUD- posed by the ordinary American reader. Large numbers of the working class, who otherwise support themselves, look to the medical officer of the district in which they reside for advice and medicine in time of sickness, and this has heretofore been dis qualification from voting. The proposed change will enfranchise many thousands now deprived of the suffrage, and is supplement tary to the greater reform by which millions are added to the list of electors.

A peculiar sect of worshipers has grown up in
the city They are known as the Followers Of
the Lord" They now meet at the corner of
Forty third and Butler streets. The congregation
is small, numbering only thirteen. They have
no minister but their characteristic tenet is to
interpret the Scripture themselves. The meetings
are led usually by j. Y. Mclaughlin, OF Wash
ington. No prepared sermon is delivered by any
person. All remain quiet until moved oy the
Spirit to speak and eXpound the Scriptures Nc
Laughlin is the chief speaker. He is said to
discourse most learnedly when the Spirit moves
him, on religious subjects. During such time
his voice entirely changes and his whole delivery
is different from other times. When the Spirit
is most him. it is said, he talks in various
languages-Greek, Hebrew, Arabic ard other
ancient and modern languages, in the fuency OF
mother tongue. There are some of this denomi-
nation scattered through Ohio.

LINCOLN AND THE RICH MEN.
Strong Hint to Party of NIiilionaires
Who asked Protection.

Judge Lawrence Weldon, in Philadelphia Press
Another story is told illustrative of Mr. Lin
coins ability to relieve the EN- Embarrassment Of his
situation as President by master stroke of wit
In 1862 the people of New York City were
apprehenSive of a bombardment by some of the
confederate cruisers; public meetings were held
to express the gravity of the situation and 10
induce the government to do something by way
of permanently protecting the city. In con
summation of that purpose a delegation of fifty
gentlemen, representing in their own right
$780, 900 900, was selected to visit Washington
and have an interview with the President and
induce him to detail gunboat to protect the
city The committee requested a gentleman
then staying il Washington to arrange with the
President time when he could see them
Mr., Lincoln seemed to be much puzzled what
to say or do and remarked to the gentleman
who was arranging as to the interview: Il have
no gunboats or ships of war that can be spared
from active service but, inasmuch as they have
come to see me, shall have to see them, and get
along as best | can" The committee called at
the appointed time, and were introduced as gen
temen representing 800, Coo, 600 in their own
= 1T" The chairman of the delegation made
ii very earnest appeal to the President for pro
lection, and remarked that they represent ed the
wealth of the city, zone hundred millions in
their own right" Mr.. Lincoln heard them at
tentively, evidently impressed with the hun
dred millions" and replied as follows:
Gentlemen, am by the Constitution COM
mdnder-ln chief OF the army and navy of the
United States, and, as matter of law, can order
anything done that is practicable to be done; but
as a matter OF fact, l am not in command of the
gunboats or ships Of war; as matter of fact |
do not know exactly where they are, but presume
they are actively engaged. 1t is impossible for
me, in the condition of things, to furnish
You gunboat. The credit Of the government is
at very low ebh Greenbacks are not worth
more than forty or fifty cents on the dollar, and
IN this condition of things, if l was worth half as
much as you. gentlemen, are represented to be-
and as badly frightened as you seem to be, l
would build guntoat and give it to the govern
ment."
The gentleman who accompanied the delega-
ton says he never one hundred millions
sink to such insignificant proportions as the
committee recrossed the threshold of the White
House sadder but wiser men, They had learned
that money, as well as muscle, was a factor Of
war.

OF all the distinguished men who have retired
from public life, one is more respected, no
ore is more entitled to respect, than Hannibal
Hamlin of Maine. His public career extends
over period of about century, and he is now
in the full possession of his faculties, taking a
deep interest in public affairs, cheerful as the
day. and without touch Of the gloomy forebod-
lnSs-sometimes clouded with morosenss-which
too often wait upon those who have been so long
dependent upon the eXcitements of public life as
to feel uncomfortable when deprived of them.
Originally a Democrat, and one of the leaders,
he became a Republican and has always eZerted
great influence A strong partisan, he has been
subjected to severe criticism, but his personal
integrity was never called in question; and now
IN his old age. no one is more respected through
out the State he served so WELL and especially IN
the city where he has stood pre-eminent during
nearly the whole of his active life. Mr.. Hamin
was never an orator Of the highest type, but hs
was a forcible and interesting speaker, who had
something to say and knew how TO say it, He
has exerted vastly more influence than he had
the credit for outside of Maine. In the senate

committees were appreciated and no member or
Congress ever did more quiet NHfk In the oe-

aid he received from the Maine senator, and de-
clared that she was worth an army of 10000
men" Here is fine specimen of the American
citizen Coming of excellent stock in Oxford
county, without the benefit of a college educa-
ton, he has preserved the even tenor of his way
through good report and evil report, holding
almost every Office in the gift of the people, and
