rrUm the prooaDII1rles OF such occasions
had settled it in my mind that Sparkling
would be buried on the afternoon of the
third day from that of his death. Time-ta-

afternoon of that day.

exceedingly fine and costly.
The Attorney-Generafs homeis on Rhode
Island avenue, at its intersection with
Fourteenth street. Here is very plain,
brown frame house where he lives with his
sweet old mother and pretty daughter. The
home is unlike every other in Washington
in being much like village house. Vines
Chamber all over it; the front yard is full Of
old-fashioned posies; and the scent of new
mown hay from the eight or ten hay cocks
in the side yard increases the resemblance
to a country home.
Every evening, bareheaded, in his long
black silk coat, his feet in slippers, tie At
torney-General sits within, his mother on
the porch in the perfume Of roses and honey
suckle, wisteria and cleTStis, and enjoy the
sunset and twilight. Governor Garland is a
widower, and his home-life is very precious
to him. He is, with those who know him
best, a charming conversationalist, witty,
storytelling and mirthfUl. His black eyes
snap with fun and glisten with humor con-
stantly.
Lately the Governor has shown a desire
to branch out a little in a social way. His
daughter, Daisy, is perhaps little more
social in her tastes than her learned
father, and there are three other children
coming on toward the debutante's age.

sion at No. 9i5 Rhode Island avenue. It is a
little further off from the social urea of
Washington than his present home, but it
is large house, better adapted to enter
tanning. There are large parlors, delight
full bow-windows and cosy hooks every
where. A statesman can be very comfort
able in such house, even if he is not So
cially inclined. As the Governor does not
expect to remain in the Department of JUS
tice under the next Administration, and
has no hope Of going on the Supreme Bench,
as he once had, he has decided to remain at
the capital and practice law. He could
come back to the Senate if he would. but he
has given way to othess so far as that
honor is concerned, and does not think it
generous 10 go into contest for what he
cheerfully relinquished. He can earn large
income at the bar. J. A. T.

farm of a man named Hall, about four
miles from Johnstown, for the purpose Of

the men at the wlndlass 10 pull him up
Before they could 90 so the sides had col

form roof over his head, and thus saved
him from being crushed. he was in such
position that he could neither sit, stand,
nor lie down for three days. For four days
he had nothing TO eat but some tobacco,
and nothing to satisfy his thirst but the
moisture which he sucked from the rotten
boards around him, and few drops Of ram
which accidentally trickled into the well.
A new excavation was made beside the Old

in this statement, says Bill Nye in the Chi
cago Tribune, and | do not print 1T
because | regard il in the light
of Scoop But / desire to go a
trife further, and call the attention of the
American youth 10 the fact that he must
begin at a much earlier date TO prepare
himself for the Presidency than has been
generally taught. He must not only &C
quirc ali the knowledge within reach, and
guard his moral character night and day
through life, or az least up 10 the time of
his election, but he must be self made
man, and he should also use the utmost
care and discretion in the selection of his
birthplace.
In the first place boy may thoughtlessly
select the wrong State, or even a foreign
country, as site for his birthplace, and
then the most exemplary life will not avail
him But hardest of all perhaps, for one
who aspires To the highest office within the
gift Of the people, is the selection of house
in which to be born. For this reason have
selected n few specimen birthplaces for the
guidance Of those who may be ignorant OF
the points which should be possessed by
birthplace.
Take, for instance, the residence OF An
drew jackson. No one has ever retained a
stronger hold upon the teudr.ls of the Dem
ocratic heart than Andrew jackson. His
name appears more frequently to-day in
papers for which he never subscribed than
that of any other President who has passed
away.

IIFE'S LESSON.

1saw a robin in the spring,
With eager heart in plumed breast
And chirp, and song, and busy wing,
Building her nest.
The budding naples amber glow,
The swaying Willows tender CLEAN
Were dancing on the grass below
And in the stream.
And through the softly fragrant air
The radiant blueness of the sky
Smiled glad. and fleecy cloudlcts fair,
Low, doated by.
But robin. singing as she few.
Had happy thoughts for none of these,
She saw not radiant sky OF blue,
Nor budding trees.
She wrought for summers beauty fair.
And dreamed a dream of happy rest.
When little ones her love should share
Within The nest.
When loving mate, the livelonr day.
Should sing and trlll the downy brood
his sweetest notes, and only stray
To bring them food.
She dreamed OF whispering leaves, to screen
her pretty nestlngs' sly retreat;
VI bug, and worrn, and garden green,
And lruitasc sweet.
So when her rnate-bird loiterinrly, swung
a moment on some dancing spray,
Or DER the shining waters hung,
Or few away
To watch the slowly creeping green,
On messy bank, where violcts hid,
She gravoIy called, with sober nicn,
Or sharply end.
Again, IN summons drought and heat,
] heard the robins clamUrous brood
Call loudly from their near retreat
For daily food,
AnG saw the mother toll alone,
From carly morn till evening late,
On dropping wing, with plaIntive moan
For her dead mate.
And one day, when = storm swept by,
And trembling trcC-tops swayed and tossed,
! heard robins piercing Cry,
For nestlings lost.
And when, at last by pity drawn
To aid the mother sore distressed:
1 only found, prone or the lawn,
The empty nest.
