She Looks Like Mrs. Cleveland.

There is certain young lady clerk in
the treasury Of Washington, who Is very
beautiful, ana many of her friends think
she is the image of Mrs. Grover Cleve-
land. She has often been annoyed While
walking on the streets by the attention she
has attracted on account of the RESENT
blapce, but it vas not until the other day
that it has caused her any discontinue in
the department. She had been out at noon
for her lunch, and coming in at the main
door with her cheeks made rosy by the
winter air and her face wreathed with
smiles, she passed by group OF sight
seers One of the ladies noticed the fair
clerk, and, taking second look, nudged
her friend. and exclaimed: II declare,
there is Mrs. Cleveland" The other lady
in turn looked. as did the Others in the
party, and then the first started after the
supposed Mrs. Cleveland, and the others
Joined in the chase. At first the young
lady clerk did not notice them; but when
their remarks grew 50 loud she could not
help but hear, she quickened her pace ana
few toward her room. Her pursuers lol-
lowed, and as the clerk disappeared be-
hind the door the party, which was large
one, halted for an instant, and then the
leader announced her intention of going in
and seeing Mrs. Cleveland" at the same
time remarking that she had no idea the
ex-Presi!ent's wife was visiting at Wash
ington She opened the door aud walked
i'm. The invasion caused q comm0ti0n in
the usually quiet room. and finally, when
the messenger asked the intruders IL they
wished any body and they had stated their
errand, there was q general laugh all
al ound; but 1t was rather iisaXreeable for
the young lady and the strangers who fol
lowed her.

Beer-Drinking Dogs.

The Irish Temperance League Journal
prints the following
"A Warwickshire laborer was recently
summoned for keeping savage dog. His
defense was that the dogs ali right until
the people give him drink. On the day
he bit the man some one had given him a
quart of beer. and when he's drunk he's
always savage. Magistrate Do you
mean to say that the dog gets drunk De
fendant: Yes sir. People are always
making him drunk He's very fond Of
drop of beer The bench held the laborer
responsible, strange to say, and ordered
him to keep his dog under control, and to
pay costs. The only way Of controlling
the dog is to keep the drink from him
either by act of Parliament or by some
other method 1t is curious to fnd that
dogs, like men, grow riotous when they
get liquor, yet it only shows the evil of
drink and the amount of hidden riot lurking
In the beer bottle. And yet men are re-
garded as public benefactors who make
beer and whiskey, and they receive titles
and honors. as If they had done great ser
vice to the State. If dogs and men are TO
be free and at large, we must see to it that
they do not get drunk; would it not be
well for Legislators to study this question

but was checked by the stern voice of
Judge Peters who said:

case. Can you raise twenty-five doilsr-?'
The fellow didn't know.
Well said the judge, You take half

David Barker, another distinguished Maine
bard, when he was alive, could not inv oke
the muse except when he was in the mood.
Sometimes, he once told me, that it would
be months before he was seized with a
poetic MT, and 1t used To annoy him. When
the mood, however. did come on. he never
had to scratch his head or bite his nails in
producing his lines, but threw them off
with the greatest rapidty. Moses Owen,
whose Maine Battle Flags" stamped him
as born poet, furnishes an instance,
on the other hand, of one whose poetic pen
knew no respite.

Merrily the notes are falling,
Oftheir laughter or their song.
They are building by the wsters

As it sweeps along the strand.
Many scene OF JOY and gladness.
Those who look from this shall view,
Many parting, too, in sadness.
Many fearful last adieu
Many weary wayworn Traveller
From his journey shall find rest.
Many loved one home ard coming

Not With chickering's and hate;

Caring not sione FOR self.
Thus " hen all Your work is ended,
