Senator and Constituent.

From the Lewiston (Me) Journal.
In the last Maine campaign Senators Frye
and Hale stumped Washington county to-
gether. One day they started on long journey
In stage-coach. Mrs. Frye accompanied her
husband. She and the Senator sat on the back
seat facing the horses, while Mr.. Hale took the
front seat and had to ride backward,
Senator Hale was in a joking mood, and told
too much comfort. wish some fat Woman
you," said he.
They had not Travelled much further when
the stage-driver was halted by an enormous
sun-burned ana big-hsted woman who climbed
Ia and was about to sit on the forward seat
Perhaps, madam, you do not like TO ride
backward, and would prefer that seat over
there" said Mr. Hale, pointing to the place
where Mr.. and Mrs. Frye sat- ffA-
mo, Sir, do not mOind ridin' backward at
all, at all, said the woman, PLUMBING herself
down by the side of the senior SenOfor from
Maine.
The senator laughed good-naturedly. and. as
they rode along, tried TO banter the woman.
She was very dignifled and did not say much
until Senator Hale exclaimed:
III another woman should get in she would
she?'
Eyes, sir. said the fat woman. apnn very
large, meself and mo hoop is very large. am i
zee You feel very large, 80 don't think there
would be room on this seat"
Perhaps the Senator hears OF this staRe-coacb
adventure occasionally.

Roses.
Written for THE EVENING STAR.


ritten for THE EVENING STAR
In summer-days when brightly bloom
Red roses, royal roses,
revel in their sweet perfume:
Their loneliness dispel5 my gloom,
My soul to JOY disposes:
Like butterflies and bees that hover
About them, I, too, am their lover.
But soon dark Autumn-days draw near
And sorrow follows gladness;
They fade--they die-they disappear,
And night for them sheds many tear
In unavailing sadness;
And dolefml Winds chant dirges DER them,
As DER the myriads gone before them.
Yet grief not long abides with me
To see them thus evanish:
For, on the cheeks OF Eualie,
arlovelier, sweeter roses he,
That time seems 10th to Danish;
That live as in some land Elyslan,
And al all seasons bless my vision.
From pure heart they spring and bloom,
A heart where love and duty
For aught unworthy leave no room,
And so they 'scape the common doom
OF other roses beauty:
And theirs Is such it aye disposes
Ny soul to Joy-celestial roses!
Ambrosial flowers, more fair Of hue
Than arbutes, or than daisies,
Or appe-blossoms dashed with dew, -,
Or bright carnations blushes-you ~ -
Have. more than all. my praises ~ II
Oh, may no evil blast assail you, -
Nor ever blight or canker pale you!
All, never bee OF butterfly
Hung over roses rarer-
No sea.shell bears O softer dye!
But she, whose cheeks they beautify.
IL fraught with charm still fairer:
Oh, she-no more!-my song here Closes
l sing but other charming roses.
