MEMORIES.

Once more beneath my yeafning eyes
The dcep-secluded vale appears;
Once more see the mountains rise
That, in the d:mly d;stan: years,
Behold our bitter parting tears.
The meadow path by which we walked
In those old days that were so sweet,
The stream that talks as then it talked,
The low-roofed church, The village street
That once was glad beneath her feet.
Each common object seems to say
With me in mute, COMPLAINING moan:
.'rhe light is parted from our day:
She once was here, but now is gone,
And we are left alone-alone!
wander on, yet, as I 60,
The Joy to V ew each well-loved scene
Is vanQuished by the greater woe,
To think of all that might have been,
Had hard fate not stepped between.
Farewell, once more. my hearts sad home;
Once more go: yet, wheresoe'er
Through length of weary days I roam,
One memory, heart-enshrined 1 bear
This mountain valley green and fair,
And the sweet flower that blossomed there

He Crushed the Senator.

Senator Evarts relates with MUCK
zest little story of his adventures
with the dignified and important clerk
of the State Department.. On his way
to call on Secretary Blaine the other
day he wished to make some inquiry,
and as he was passing through the
corridor accosted young man whom
ne thought he had seen in the depart
ment. saying to him: 81 beg your par
don, sir, but are you not a clerk in the
State Department." The young person
addressed stopped short, gazed at the
great statesman, who was once the
head of the department and whose
fame is as broad as the two hemis-
pheres, and in tone in which disgust
was mixed with wounded pride, re-
piled: mo. sir am not. I am not
clerk in the State Department. am
an attache of the Foreign Office" Sem
ator Evarts was so astounded by this
display of dignity and anglomania that
he says he actually forgot the inquiry
which he had intended making of the
young person, and walked on quite
crushed. Chicago Herald.

THE BEST FIDDLE.

rs not the greatest singer,
Who trle5 the loftiest themes,
He is the true joy brirger
Who tells h simplest dreams.
He is the grs attest poet
Who Will renounce all art,
And take his heart and show it
TO every other heart;
Who writes no learned riddle,
But sings his simplest rune.
Takes his heartstrings for a fiddle,
And plays his easiest tune.
Don't ply q maid with speeches
She can not understand,
For Love, the lispcr, breaches
In low, soft words, not grand.
Leave the high stars above you,
Attempt no lofty art;
The little words: Il love you,''
VIII nestle in her heart:
They will unwind Loves riddle,
Make life an endless June,
Take your heart-strings for fiddle
And play your easiest tune.
