How Columbus" was discovered was
graphically told in an essay written by
boy in one of the schools in the English
midlands, and transferred to the columns
of the London Standard Columbus was
a man who could make an egg stand on
end without breaking it. The King of
Spain said to Clumbus, Can you discover
America ?" Yes, said Clumbus, if you
will give me ship So he had ship, and
sailed over the sea in the direction where
he thought America ought to be found.
The sailors quarreled and said they be-
heved there WINS no such place. But after
many days the pilot came to him and
said, 'Clumbus, see land. Then that
is America said Clumbus. When the
ship got near, the land was full of blacE
men. Clumbus said, is this America !?
Yes, it u.s. said they. Then he said, 4

Tho Mugxnn.p Attitude.

Boston Herald.
There are two courses open to the indie
pendent voters in their treatment of the
President. They can hold themselves
aloof, in an attitude of critical observation,
Withholding any information or advise or
any expression of their views or wishes in
regard to appointments to office and the
general policy of the government. Or they
can put themselves in cordial relations
with the administration, giving to il such
information in their possession MS may
tend to enlighten its members, and freely
expressing their views as to the proper
policy TO be pursued. OF the two, the lat
ter course seems to MS the more lust and
reasonable although, in order TINT it may
| be consistent for tue Independents and
advantageous to the President, it is es.
sential that the information furnished be
| impartial and the advice DISTINGUISHED

An l kissed the bride, sweet Maggie
daughter OF Ben McGrew.

young, poor, happy fools,
When Jim's only stock was heavy truck
an' four kaintucky mules.
Well, they lived along eontented ,weth their
little Joys an cares,
An every year baby come, an twicet they
came in pairs;
Till the house was full of children, weih
their shoutin' and playing and squalls,
| An their sngin' au' laughin' aud cryin'
made Bedam within its walls.
An Jim, he seemed to like 1t, an he spent

that his heart might be kept from sin
The stumblin'est prayin'--but heads and
hearts used to bow when he'd begin.
So, they lived along in that way, the same

With plenty of time for drlvin' work, an a
little time for play.

| Till the old gray heads of tho two old folks

Boston ADVERTISER.
II was superfluous to say that the two
gentlemen read we'll but this may be
said, that part Of the charm consisted in
q demonstration that verse may be read
without the regulation hitch, gasp, and
quaver of voice to which everybody has
been so well accustomed in the numerous
platform readings of the period. That
expression is possible without tremor or
gush, or even appealing glances toward
the ceiling, may confidently be asserted
by all who had the pleasure of listening
to these poets in their quotations from
themselves. Yet in their methods there
was q marked difference. If vote had
been taken as to which was the better
method, it quite likely would have turned
out TO be tie vote. DIR. Holmes, in his
way, which has become familiar through
his many contributions of original verse
on literary occasions, put considerable OF
emphasis and modicum of fire into
his reading, as if he would make the
words subsidiary as being the vehicles Of
his utterance. Mr.. Lowell chose rather
the monotone, with a clear-cut enuncia
ton, as if his feelings were, ''if these
words will not of themselves yield my
meaning, then perish in the attempt.
He had to depart somewhat from THU
method, however, when it came to tht
reading of "The Courtin'," and here hi
manner was mildly suggestive of that o
his brother poet. u......

Card rlaYInE IN no..on.

Boston letter to the Providence JournBl.
There is good deal of card playing in
Boston during Lent. II shall stick to
the church, an irreverent old gentleman
once said to me, ''as long as it gives us
40 days out of the year when whist is the
chief business OF life. y saw in the paper
last week notice that his wife had Just
given o progressive euehre party, so that
l am not without the fear that his fall
from grace may be looked for. He is one
of the genuine whist players, of whom
the plainest truth seems to be an extrava-
gant caricature. Enjoy whist" he ex-
claimed in a discussion once, half in
whimsical Jest, but half in earnest, ''all |
want to know of man is that he enjoys
whist Why | should as soon think of
saying enjoyed dying for my country.
Whist isn't an amusement it's q duty"
On another occasion he gave a whist
party at his house, and about /
| O'Clock in the morning n table of young
men began quietly to play poker. II WIS
not until the following day that the host
learned that the celebration of his solemn
ceremony had been desecrnted by this
outrageous proceeding, but when he did
discover il his fury wns unbounded.
"rve forbidden my wife ever TO invite
one of them to the house" he declared ut
the club land I've half mind to draw
my money out of the - Bank, for Y. is
cashier there, and man who would play
poker at whist party is dangerous
fellow" OF course the speaker was well
enough aware of the absurdity of his own
extravaganza, but there was, after all, q
SAVIOR of real feeling that gave zest to his
Trades. He plays game so marvellous
that it is disheartening to sit down against
him, and even capital players are rs
ready TO surrender to the simple fame OF
his prowess as was the coon to Davy
Crockett. The feeling that there is some.
thing hopelessly and irretrievably vulgar
about euchre, progressive or otherwise,
has led to the absurd attempt to intro.
duee progressive whist. II is an absolute
failure, am happy to say, for person
ally have too deep respect for this game
of games to be able to tolerate such
wanton violation of all proprieties.
