A Famous Ohio Landmark.

Among the memories of early

where, if there were such things in
those days-and there must have been
since the time of Csesar-many polite
al rings formed. At any rate, it was
famous resort in the eos, and was
situated on High street, opposite the
public Offices. Among those who fire.,
quented the place were Henry Stan.
berry, Thomas Ewing. James NJ. Bell,
Lyme Startling, and scores of others
who became prominent in the political
history of Ohio. The proprietor of the
place was John Young. who was
noted for the excellence of his mint
juleps, the elegance of his wardrobe.
and his being the greatest gambler in
Ohio. Perhaps it was this latter fact
that Bell. who was at one time Speaker
of the House. owed his passion for
gambling, which afterward proved his
ruin. Ewing was considered the cpl.
cure of the clique. caring little fo1
drink, and Stanbrey never forgot the
delights of many cozy hours at the old
Eagle. even after he became men,
Der of Johnson Cabinet, from which.
it will be remem bered, he resigned to
defend the Impeachment. NOTHING
now remains of this old Eagle Coffee.

The bondage Of the Very Small,
The Tyranny Of Things.
And truly ours Is hardest fate,
Our lot more hopeless far,
Who scarcely feel our lost estate.
Or know what slaves We are.
Slaves to Lies thousand small demands,
Its toll, its fret, it, care:
Slaves to our homes, our goods, our lands,
Slaves to tho clothes We Weari
Slaves to the cherished things we fold
In careful closets shut,
The plate We store, the books We hold
Too choice to read-or cut!
Slaves-ah, to what . host Of things!
Poor Gullivers would quake
Beneath web OF threads and strings
We know not how to break!

at last, in utter WEAKNESS from the heat and

fallen fast asleep. The attendant, smil-
