The Old Retired Sea Captain.

The old Sea Captain has sailed the
So long, that the at mirth
Or the waves gone Wild and the crests of these,
Were near playmates from birth:
He has loved both the storm and the calm, because
They seemed as his brothers twain
The Tapping sail was his souls applause,
And his rapture, the roaring main.
But now-like a battered hulk seems he
Cast high on a foreign strand,
Though he feels in port, as it needs must be,
And the stay Of daughters hand
Yet ever the round of the listless hours
His pipe in the languid air
The grass, the trees and the garden flowers,
And the strange earth everywhere!
And so betmes he is restless here
In this little inland town,
With never wing in the atmosphere
But the wind mills DER the down;
His daughters home in this peaceful vale,
And his grandchild 'twixt his knees
But never the hail of passing sail,
Nor the surge of the angry seas!
He quits his pipe, and he snaps its neck
Would speak. though he coughs instead,
Then PAGES the porch like quarterback
With Keeling mast oerhead!
Ho! the old Sea Captains cheeks glow warm,
And his eyes CLEAN grim and weird,
And he mutters about like thunderstorm
In the cloud Of his beeting beard.

LINCOLN AND SUMNER.
A Story that illustrates a Beautiful Quality
of the War Presidents Character.

IT,.
A ell-known ex-member of the Cabinet tells
some interesting "reminiscences of Senator Sum
ner. A few days before Lincoln's second inau-
guration Sumner called at the White House and
told him that he was determined to defeat, in
the Senate, his favorite measure regarding Lou
siana, because it would involve vicious prin-
ciple, which would be quoted a precedent
when any large scheme of reconstruction might
be brought forward.
Lincoln blandly listened to the Senator's re-
monstrance, and replied: ''Mr. Sumner, / am
not convinced by your arguments, and as to your
threats of defeating the BILL can tell you it is
impossible. for know clear majority of the
Senate is in its favor"
"But l tell you, Mr. President" answered
Sumner, cit shall and will be defeated"
"Try It," was the quiet response.
Sumner did try it. He appeared on the last
night of that session of Congress with a small
law library, partly on his desk and partly piled
upon each side of IL. The bill was introduced
and it was supposed it would be Immediately
passed. Sumner, however had the floor, and
he began to speak. After he had spoken an
hour or two, it occurred to Senator Wade, of
Ohio, to ask Sumner, as the session of Congress
would soon expire, and as there much
necessary business still remaining to be done,
how long the Senator from Massachusetts
intended to occupy the attention of the Sen
ate. Sumner replied tina: his speech must
be of unusual length, and that he would not
promise that it would come to a close before
the legal session of Congress came to an
end. Wade, who had in his charge what was in
effect Lincoln's bill, was, on this announce
ment, compelled to abandon it. Sumner thus
managed to have the whole great subject of re-
construction postponed to the period when it
could be discussed in all its larger relations to
the welfare of both sections Of the country. 1t
is very likely that this incident, as Sumner told
it, may be- inaccurate In some details If so. the
fault is in the memory of the listener not in his
long narrative. But his object in telling it was
to illustrate beautiful quality of Lncoln's
character.
Il thought" he said, chat the President
would consider my opposition personal affront
Instead of that you may judge Of my surprise
when he sent me a note on the next day. asking
me to accompany Mrs Lincoln in his carriage to
the ceremonies Of the inauguration and also to
accompany him to the bali in the evening. AS
to the ball you may imagine the kind of wonder
that was excited, when, with Mrs. Lincoln on
my arm, made my way through the throng of
ladies and gentlemen present, and placed her in
her selected seat The thing was nothing in
ITSELF but still 1 thought it read lesson TO
shrewd politicians, when they had to undertake
the task of pleasing such man as President
Lincoln"

Kissing That Distressed Clergyman.


The Rev. T. II. B. Fearon, rector of Nortons
in-the Moors, near Stoke-on- Trent, thus writes
upon the subject of kissing in-the-ring:" I'VE

there was something sacred in kiss. but such
