The dave fnosafhar


When Joy and | were used to spend
The days together,
We missed not Sympathy as friend;
She doth be dumb; she doth not lend
Her voice to fill the song-some weather.
We need none else, blithe Joy and Il
We are content together,
When Grief and / acquainted grew
With one another,
All! many voices echoed new,
But not one brought the comfort true
That did the silence of that other,
Who reconciled pale Grief and me,
With tears to n another.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Correction without instruction is but
mere tyranny.
A man of integrity will never listen to
any reason against conscience.
The more honesty a man has, the
less he affects the air Of a saint.
Nothing is SO contagious as example;
we are never either much good or much
evil without imitators.
To secure a contented spirit, measure
your desires by your fortunes, not your
fortunes by your desires.
Man owes his growth, his energy,
chiefly to that striving of the will, that
conflict with difficulty, which we call
effort.
Few things are impracticable in them
selves; and it is for want of application,
rather than Of means, that men fail OF
success.
Humility in MAJ consists not in de-
nying any gift that is in him, but a just
valuation of it; rather thinking too
mcanly than too highly.
All mankind are happier for having
been happy, SO that if you make them
Happy now, you will make them happy
twenty years hence by the memory of it.
Sincerity is to speak as we think, to
do as we pretend and profess, to per-
form and make good what we promise,
and really to be what we would seem
and appear to be.
Genius without religion is only a
lamp on the outer gate of q palace. It
may serve to cast a CLEAN of light on
those that are without, while the in
habitants sit in darkness.

JAMES BUCHANAN AT COURT.
The Trouble He Had While Minister TO
Eneland.His Court Dress.


Eneland.His Court Dress.
While the dress question was still under
consideration parliament met and it was
as usual opened by the queen. Buchanan
received a circular asking him to be
present and saying that no one would be
admitted who was not in full court dress.
The result was that Buchanan did not go,
and his absence called forth the comment
Of the newspapers. He writes home to
the state department that he has deter
mined to wear no gold lace or embroidery
at court, and that he had expressed de-
sire to the master of ceremonies to appear
at court in such dress as might be agree
able to the queen and still not be much
different from that of the American citi-
zen. 1t was then suggested to Buchanan
that he might assume the civil dress OF
George Washington. "But,' he says,
fashions have SO changed thatif I weret
put on this dress and wear it at one OF our
presidents receptions would be the sub
iect of ridicule for life, and further that
he considered it presumption for him to
affect the style Of dress of the father OF
his country.
His worry is shown in his letters to his
niece Harriet Lane, who was expecting to
visit him in England. He fears, he says,
that he shall not be invited to the court
receptions upon this account, and that II
he is not, he will probably be dropped by
London society tn general, in which case
Miss Lane had better remain at home.
The day before the first levee of the queen
he writes that his appearance there in a
suit of plain clothes will he has no doubt,
produce quite sensation and become
subject Of gossip for the whole court.
But he had, after this, another interview
with Sir Edward Gust, at whose sug-
gestion he added a plain dress sword to
his ordinary clothes and thus solved the
difficulty.
He says, writing to Harriet Lane, 81
appeared at the levee ON Wednesday last
in just such dress as l have worn at
the presidents one hundred times. A
black coat, white waistcoat and cravat,
and black pantaloons and dress buttons,
with the addition of a very plain black
handled and black hilted dress sword.
This to crafty those who have yielded
so much and to distinguish me from the
upper court servants. I knew that l
would be received in any dress that I
might wear; but could not have antici-
pated that should be received in so kind
and distinguished q manner. Having
yielded, they did not do things by halves.
AS l approached the queen an arch but
benevolent smile Lit up her countenance-
as much as to say, You are the first man
who ever appeared before me at court in
such dress i confess chat never felt
more proud Of being an American than
when stood in the brilliant circle in the
simple dress of an American citizen"
This remained Buchanan's dress during
the remainder of his mission, and he was
one of the most popular foreign ministers
of American history.-Frank G. Carpen-
ter in American Magazine.
