THE SULKY OLEANDER.

Little Oleander slip.
Cut from mother tree,
Was about as disagreeable
As little slip could be;
Didn't like her pot of earth,
Said she wouldn't grow;
This was very naughty 'i'5h
And foolish, too. you know.
Little Oleander slip
A drink of water had,
Didn't do her any good
Continued to be bad;
Sulky Oleander ;rfl iF = y
Hung her little head.
And dropping over sideways, '(i Z
Pretended she was dead.
But it wasn't any good
Playing such a trick;
Tied up Oleander
To little stick,
Shut her in closet, r, .A..
Very dark, you know,
Till she made her mind up
To be good and grow.
Darkness had a good effect
On Oleander's head:
whats the use of acting SOP"
To herself she said.
Strengthened up her willing stalk,
Really tried to smile;
Guess wen have to let her out
In little while.
Morning bright and sunny,
Air SO fresh and pure.
Oleander's had enough
OF closet, am sure.
"Be good, Oleander?"
YES" heard her say,
And she's kept her promise
From that very day.
Other little flowers
Sometimes act just so.
And in darkened closets
Often have to go;
There in calm reflection,
1t will not be strange
If short confinement
Works wondrous change.

coil" Pope's ASSAY on Criticism" was
published before his twenty-frst year,
and his most successful effort "The Rape
of the Lock," assumed it's complete shape
in his twenty sixth year.
"The Pleasures of Hope" was written
by Thomas Campbell before he was
twenty years old, and Gertrude of Wy
oming,' when in his thirtieth year. Schil-
Ter, at the age of twenty-five, gave to the
world his tragedy of the Robbers (com-
posed when he was only seventeen). The
public received it with great enthusiasm.
He died at the age Of forty-fve. ethan
atopsis" of William Cullen Bryant, ap-
peared when he was twenty-five, and
was written at nineteen. His first publ
cation was satire, when he was only
fourteen. The late s. 8. Prentiss, who
died at the early age Of forty-two, achiev-
ed success when he exhibited great
powers Of oratory in Congress, to which
he had been elected at the age of twenty
ty.fve. Pitt was Prime Minister OF En-
gland at the age of twenty-four, and Ma
caulay became member Of Parliament
at thirty, and established high reputa-
ton for eloquence by his maiden speech.
1t is worthy of notice that two great
warriors of the present century we're
born in 1850, doomed to compete with
each other, and distinguish themselves
early. Napoleon Bonaparte was CON-
mander of the army of Italy in February,
1869, before he had reached the age of
twenty-seven, and first consul at the age
of thirty, while Wellington had establish
ed his military reputation in India, by
the time he was thirty-four. When the
great commanders met on the field of
Waterloo neither was forty-six years old.
Gouverneur Morris was admitted to
practice at the New York bar at the age
OF pineteen. At twentyfour he was in
the New York Legislature, and at twen-
ty-five member of the Continental Con-
gress, and served on important commit
tees. He it was who first conceived the
idea of our admirable decimal currency,
which has been adopted in the United
States. He also played an important part
in making the constitution under which
we now live. He served as minister to
France, and was the only member of the
diplomatic corps who remained in Par
is during the reign OF terror, an act
the more courageous, because he was
known to be in cordial sympathy with the
fallen king. In letter to John Par
ish in 1901 he distinctly suggests the
Erie Canal. He died in 1916, aged sixty
five. Among the curious provisions of
his will was the following: Gin case my
wife should marry, give her 5000 more
per annum to defray the increased ex-
penditure which may attend that connec-
tion."
When Walter Scott was eleven years
old he attended the high school of Edin-
burgh. DR.. Adam, the head master,
would constantly refer to him for dates
the particulars of battles, and other re-
markable events alluded to in Horace, or
whatever author the boys were reading
and used to call him the historian of the
class. His first great poem, "The Lay of
the Last Minstrel" was written in 1906,
when he was thirty-five. Nine years lat
or he published "Waverly," and he was
nearly fifty before his "Ivanhoe" appear

Compulsory Pilotage.

A remonstrancc has been received by Senator
Frye, from an assembly of Knights of Labor
in Central Iowa, protesting against the enact
mcnt of a bin relating to compulsory pilotage,
introduced by Senator Frye. To this Senator
Frye has replied that the assembly must have
been msinformed; that the bill is directly in
the interests of the sailors; that there is no
compulsory law in Maine and Massachusetts
for instance, and that the coasters from those
States, although familiar with New York har-
Dor, are compelled to pay from $50 to 800
for the trip; that this pilotage tax is the heay-
lest burden upon small vessels, and that it
ultimately comes out of the sailor; that the
New York pilots earn from $1,000 to $1,000
annually, which is taken in great measure from
sailors who do not earn more than $500 yearly.
The present law provides that captains of
coasting steamers may be examined and licensed
as pilots, and Mr. Fryc's bill simply extends
this privilege to our sailing coasters.
