during the last campaign at a town in
the interior of New York
The next morning the chair
man Of the local committee took
him in his carriage for a ride about the
place. They hal reached the suburbs
and were admirlng BIT Of scenery when
a man wearing a blue shirt and carrying
a long whip on his shoulder approaching
from where he had been plotting an OK
team along the middle of the street and
said:
You're the man tdat mlde the rat
thu speech up at the hall last night, |

Mr.. Depew modest admitted that he
had indnlged in some talk at the time
and place specified.

"You don't mean to say Won made that
all right up as you went along?'
"Yes."

Hon. Simon Cameron, Of Pennsylvania,
wrote to a young friend in Philadelphia
as follows: "The best duty any citizen
Of our country can perform is to do cur
duty as citizens so as to transmit this
heritage. increased and perfected, to
those who shall come after us To do
this steady, sober, industrious life is
the first Of all. Then calm and thought

Boys and Girls in Holland.


A letter from q lady travelling in
Holland tells how they distinguish the
boys from the girls in that country
They are all dressed alike in dark,
full skirts and gay bodices. All had
long hair and Ion, thick bangs,
trained to stand out under their tight
caps, iks little yisors to shade their
eyes. We began to wonder why they
were all girls, whens suddenly the
guide seized one, saying: do you
think this Is a hoy or a girl?'' When
tho said girl he whislseSt-the child
around and pointed to u little red and
white crown-piece on the back OF its
cap. mo, he said, girl caps arc
plain. Until the children are eight
years old you can't tell a DO. from a
girl. except from the backs of their
aheittls. wv BIZ. asking the children their
names we found the guide was right,

A SCHOOLGIRLS Epitaph.

( Though can not give you the fol-
lowing epitaph as existing in the
marble or on the wood in any church
or church-yard, l think it is worth
preserving, for it has some not unim-
portant teaching in it. The lines
were given to me as being =" funny
or ''comic;n but it seemed to me that
the, pathos in them was infinitely
greater than the fun.ZSThey- We're
written, as / was assured. by a girl
who, long overwoTked in school and
workshop, was lying on her death
bed, and knew that her end was at
hand:
''ohi weep not for me, friends, for l am Ego
Where thereal neither be reading, nor sfitne
nor sewing
