Henry Clay was greatly disappointed IN
his SONS. lie had hope that his mantle
would fall ON one Of them, but he lived
long enough to see that his hope was vain.
Daniel Webster's son, Fletcher, was n
quiet. somewhat scholarly gentleman,
without IL single suggestion Of the posses
sion of his fathers great ability. He WAS
n gallant officer during the war, and was
killed in service. Not one, we believe it
rs safe to say, of the men who SO ably
made history for us in the past, left sous
who took up the work their fathers left
of. md carried it on with signal ability.
The names we now hear and have heard
for a generation are new names. None OF
them suggest the giants of old. The
brilliant Tom Ewing's son is now n quiet
lawyer in New FORK. Tom Benton's
grandsons are youths of character but of
no conspicuous ability. Clayton, Dallas,
r. NJ. Johnson, Wright and Marcy, the
Clintons, these and many Others have he
queathed none of their ability.
Mr.. Carlisle has two sons who are prnc-
ticinglaw in the growing town of Wichita,
Kan. one of them is thought TO give
promise OF becoming IA great lawyer. Mr..
Blaine has three sons. One is in the rail
way business in Chicago; one, Walker,
has been able to adopt the habits and life
of people who move in good society with
distinguished success, but not as yet has
he developed any Of the wonderfully
magnetic and stirring qualities that have
made his father pre-eminent. Another,
young Jim, as he is called, is thought to
have some OF Mr.. Blaine's ability, though
his exubcrant youthful spirits have not
permitted him to make much manifesto
ton of it, IL it be so. That eccentric but
gifted warrior. Gen. Sherman, had looked
for Il career for his son which in other
fields night equal his own, but the Young
man has given himself to the life of u
priest in the Church OF Rome. John Shcr-
man has no children. Through the
Ewings the Shermans and Blaines are re
lated. 50 that il is likely that to the Ewing
blood these able men can in IA manner
ascrihc their gifts. Senator Bayard will
probably he the last of his family to hold
conspicuous public Office, at least in con
sccutive line. His son is an amiable, con-
scicntious young man, but with no taste
for those pursuits which made his father,

BooKLEss HOMES.

We form judgments of men from
little things about their houses, of
which the owner, perhaps, never
thinks. Flowers about a rich mans
house may signify only that he has
good gardener, or that he has re-
6ned neighbors, and does what he
sees them do. But men are not ac-
customed to buy books unless they
want them. If, on visiting the dwell
ing of a man of slender means, we
find that he contents himself with
cheap carpets and very plain furni-
ture, in order that he may buy books,
he rises at once in our esteem.
Books are not made for furniture.

Books are the windows through
