CROW IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

Daniel said the President softly, as
he stood at n window of the White
House in the cleaning and dreamily
watched the outline of a Potomac dred-
ger making sail down the river.
What is it, sire?'
"Do you remember the exact wording
of that reference to second terms in my
letter of acceptance?'
Not precisely, sire, but it was to the
effect that second terms were not bene-
fetal to the nation, and should not be
sought by patriotic presidents.

HISTORICAL PARALLELS AND
CONTRASTS,

Well now, times have changed surely
in the last hundred years or SO; but
whether for the better or worse, in some
particulars, we leave our readers TO de-
eide for themselves.
The Legislature of the State of New
York has invited Col. Robert G. Inger-
soil to deliver an address on Roscoe
Conkling's public and private character.
When George Washington died in
1890 the Congress would have given a
terrible shock to the people if that body,
had invited Thomas Paine, who was
then at the height OF his limited degree
OF popularity, ~ deliver the formal al
dress on the great and good Washington.
There are several analOgies that are
apparent to all. Washington was a
great man and esteemed for his integri-
ty. So. too, was Mr.. Conkling There
was no money taint upon the hands Of
either. We do not know that there was
any other taint. Both go into history
as men of correct lives, and as able
statesmen.
Thomas Paine was an able man, and
was of great service to our country dur.
ing the war of the revolution. He was
a friend of DIR. Benjamin Franklin, and
brought a letter of recommendation
from Franklin when he came to this
country. Paine was what is technically
known as a deist. His intidelity was not
of the fundamental, sweeping character
of Col. IngersOll's. Paine believed in
Cod Ingersoll believes in nothing that
he cannot see, or weigh, or estimate.
Col. lngersoll was a useful patriot dur
tho rahallinn anI
ling. as Washington and Paine were
during the Revolution.
We belle We it is admitted by everybody
that Col. lngersoll's private life lie pure
and wholesome in all respects. HIS con-
temporaries testified to the general cor
rectness of Paine's life, though some
way, and probably it can not be disprov-
ed. tina. late in life Paine became de.
spondent and Incorporate.
However these things may be, it is
clear that Congress would not have
dared to invite Thomas Paine to deliver
the eulogy upon Washington. Paine
was living in Paris when Washington
died, but If he had been living in this
country, as he had been for many years
before, and as he did few years later,
Congress would not have thought of
giving such an invitation, and the peo.
pie would have risen up in Indignation
if such an invitation had been given.
Nevertheless. few men could haze pro.
nounced an abler address upon Wash
ington and the great events through
which he passed than Thomas Paine.
and few men could be found better
fitted than Col, Ingersoll to perform
like Office for Roscoe Conkling.
Are the American people becoming
less religious? Or. are they more dispos-
ed to let tsecuar matters stand upon their
secular bottoms? Or have they less mar
rowness and cant than formerly? Or
what is it that has made possible the
selection I Col. Ingersoll for a service
such as nobody would have thought of
having Thomas Paine perform?
Our readers will decide these questions
ia several ways, we presume, according
to their beliefs, or prejudices, or what.
ever else may operate upon their judg
ment. 1t is their right, as American
citizens, to decide for themselves.

There IS a desperate fight betweenMrs.
Dalton and Dolly before the latter can
be persuaded to copy and forward what
she considers heartless and flippant
/ missive. In the end Marian triumphs.
Mr.. Lascelles does not appear at break
fast, and Dolly, though her soul quakes
within her. laughs and talks to Dick.
Later in the morning, when they are
playing lawn tennis, Clement Lascelles
feeling much smaller than he has ever
done in his life. seeks counsel from Mrs.
Dalton. With an angelic smile she al
ternately pricks him with daggers and
makes him gulp down bowls of poison;
but she does him an excellent turn by
taking a good deal of the nonsense out
of him. He confesses that he adores
Dolly. How, o how, is he to win her
Has he the ghost of chance 2
Mrs. Dalton looking solemn, declares
her inability to reply to this. She hints
at Dolly's youth and love of amusement.
She hints, too, at Dicks unflaggng good
spirits and temper. And the upshot of
it is that when Dick returns crestfallen,
from his afternoon ride with Dolly, hav.
ing spoken and received his answer,

lady to her boudoir on pretense of want.

ing the melancholy of Hamlet by the
conquering airs of young LoveIace, takes
her in his arms, swears he has been a
fool and has never really loved any enc
but her sweet self, and that if she ac-
cepts him her life shall be one round of
pleasure.
Twenty minutes later, Dolly has passed
on all his embraces and more to Marian.
How clever you are, darling! she says
admiringly.

HOW MEN DIE

II we know all the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are the
better enabled to ward off the danger
and postpone the moment when sur
render becomes inevitable. In many
instances the inherent strength of the
body suffices to enable it to oppose the
tendency toward death. Many however
have Lust these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other
cases little aid to the weakened Lungs
will make all the difference between
sudden death and many years of useful
life. Upon the first symptoms Of a
Cough Cold or any trouble of the throat
or lungs, give that old and well know n
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
careful trial. 1t will prove what thous
ands say of it to be, the "benefactor Of

In the social life Of village, it is an
excellent thing if one family of influence
disregards all differences among neigh
bors and makes Its parlors neutral
ground, where all may meet as honored
guests. For years Northampton has this
sort of neutral ground in the parlors Of
Mrs. Judge Lyman. Her house was
noted as one mansion in the village the
door of which always opened to any one
who knocked, and where the mistress
never recognized differences between
heighbors,
The villagers were early risers and
did much of their days work before
breakfast in the summer time. One
morning Mrs. Ly man was sweeping the
parlors, as an old friend passed with a
basket of eggs, and stopped for chat.
Mrs. Lyman she called out, L heard
you had invited the 5 and the 5
to your party. Didn't you know they
didn't speak, and won't it be a little
awkward 2
i don't know anything about people
who don't speak " was the quick reply,
and she swept more vigorously.
In few minutes another friend look
ed in at the window, and repeated the
information given by the earlier caller.
They don't speak TO one another said
lie. and haven't these six months
The Lord only knows when they will
if no one ever gives them chance |! she
answered, emphasizing her words with
viguTouo thI usts OF the broom.
Mrs. Lyman Mrs. Lyman = called
out the CHEEKY voice of girl on her way
to catch the early mail, and she too, re-
peated, They don't speak,
Leaving everything, the aroused wo-
man went to the door, laid her hand on
the girls shoulder and said See here,
C, you are young, very young IN
deed; did you ever hear that when two
countries are at war third country is
always selected, which they call neutral
ground Now, am perfectly willing
to have my parlors stand for neutral
ground, but you need not tell any one
that said so. And there's another
thing that want to tell you, that when
you have lived as long as have, you'll
find it's capital thing to go through
life deaf, and dumb, and blind = EX-
