PERSONAL MAGNETISM,
The Secret Of the Perpetual Youth Pos.
sessed by Some Men.

| The Secret Of the Perpetual Youth Pos.
sessed by Some Men.
Henry Clay, to the last hours of his
life, had singular power over young
men and boys. who were invariably
eager to become. in some Sort his
friends and companions.
Young people regarded Washington,
on the other hand, with profound re-
spect into which no feeling of possible
comradeship ever entered. The same
feeling of separation, or aloofness,
characterized the intercourse of Daniel
Webster with the young.
What girl or boy who reads the Com
panion has not a tender, cheerful fell
lowship for the venerable George Ban
croft and Doctor Holmes, men whose
faces they probably never have seen?
Why is it that old age is thus to
some men, however good or wise they
may be. an impossible gulf, which
cuts them off from all relations with
childhood and youth, while there are
other aged faces dear to every baby,
boy and girl who looks on themP
The cold, dark flow of years shut the
first in and apart from their kind, as the
deep, bridgeless moat does an ancient
ruin; but years have no power to sepa-
rate US from the others. They are as
young and alive as their grandchil-
dren, despite white hairs and failing
senses
The secret of this perpetual youth in
some men is the keen sympathy for
others in their hearts, and certain
warmth of temperament which gives
them an interest in the affairs of every
passing moment No matter how old
man may be. if his energy and affec-
tons remain he will attract friends and
companions If the fire still burns on
the hearth, what matter if the walls of
the house be decayed? We shall come
to it to be warmed and cheered.
Yet how absurd. in the light of this
simple fact, is the conduct of boys and
girls who assume languid indiffer-
ence to the affairs of life in the vain
hope of convincing the lookers-on that
they are hopelessly btdsea
When they rob themselves of the
chief charm of youth and enthusiasm,
they are like the heir to a kingdom
who resigns crown before he has
worn it.-Youth's Companion.

THE POET TENNYSON.
Number of Anecdotes Illustrating b
Eccentricity.

A Number of Anecdotes Illustrating His
Eccentricity.
A few years ago some enthusiastic
admirers of Tennyson gave large
dinner party in his honor, and invited
all their choicest friends in the world
of literature and art to meet him.
Tennyson, who rarely accepts an invi-
tation, did. for a wonder, put in an
appearance on this occasion, but dur
ing the first half of the dinner caused
the greatest disappointment by re-
naming absolutely silent, and as if
lost in the most profound reverie.
The guests. who had expected to hang
on words falling like pearls of thought
from his lips, gazed somewhat visit
fully upon him, when, rousing sud-
denly, he exclaimed in a loud, stem
torian voice: 81 like my mutton cut
in chunks!' 1t is likely that there was
something of malice prepense in this
burst of confidence, and that the poor
man felt not unnatural irritation at
being gaped at and a corresponding
desire to punish the offenders.
An anecdote told not long ago by his
daughter-in-law is amusing, in that it
shows how the greatest are not inca
pable of STOPPING to little weaknesses.
Some very dear friends of Tennyson,
who had been spending some years in
Persia, returned to London, and, anx-
ious to renew old ties, wrote inviting
him to their house. But Tennyson
mistook the day, and arriving at the
domicile found the birds flown. Sitting
down to write note of explanation. he
had the misfortune to throw the con-
tents of well-filled inkbottle all over
the beautiful new white Persian car
pet. The maid-servant in answer to
his summons, appeared with large
jug of new milk, which she poured over
the offending -ink-stain. "rll give you
five shillings, my good girl, my very
good girl" continued Tennyson, in
much agitation, eff you will only get
rid OF that abominable ink before your
master and mistress come home" And
together, on their hands and knees,
poet and servant rubbed and rubbed at
the wretched carpet until not spot
renamed. The girl earned her five
shillings, and when. a few weeks after
ward. Tennyson went to dine with his
friends, he had every reason to believe
that she had told no tales. At any
rate his host and hostess displayed
their gorgeous carpet without signs of
consciousness.-N. Y. Weekly.
