Sam Jones on Senators.

Sam Jones writes to Atlanta Herald:
| see the Senate is still vaporizing, and
delaying. Now the papers talk of gold
shipments to Europe, and things do not
loook as lovely as they did Il week ago
and the worst may not be over.
l read with interest Mr.. Cleveland's
letter to Cover North, 1t seems that he
has ceased to argue and has begun to
pray. It's time to dissolve parliament.
! see some of the Senators have gone
home, drunk. Some men can serve their
country better dead drunk than when
they are sober.
If had a pack of hounds that run a
fox Like the United States Senate chases
legislation, | would lose interest in the
fox and go dog hunting and go home
dogless.
I'd rather have no dogs than some kind
of dogs.
Why don't they do something? hun
dred hens cackling in the barn lot and
not an egg laid! l would eat hens and
do without eggs for the balances of the
year.
Let that August body do something
or resign, and let us send somebody to
Washington who will act, who will re-
peal or confirm.
| They don't dicker and piddle and
vaporize much longer without disaster
to the country, and we will make them
smoke for their conduct when they get
home and want endorsement by re-elec>
ton
Is it not about time we had a new deal
anyway? We can't be worsted much in
any sort of deal.
Shades of Webster Clay and Calhoun
Comparisons are odious. But suppose
the little fellows in the United States
Senate to>day are doing as much &C
cording to their sizes as the giants o.
old did Size determines ability
Wheelbarrows can't carry like locomo-
tives and box cars. The space between
q lion and a cur is wide. To whom littl
is given, of him little will be expected.

a Cat with False Teeth.

The cat that owned the false teeth had
lost his own, and had his jaw broken
besides by Il drunken wretch who beat
him witha cobble-s:one. With great care
the poor animal finally recovered; but he
had to be fed with little spoon for u long
time. When able to pursue his ordinary
business Of catching rats and mice, he
could not eat them, because he had no
teeth to chew with. Something must be
done for him, for life supported on "spoon
vittles" was burden; and a young
dentist in the neighborhood, who had
become greatly interested in the unfor-
tunate cat, resolved to try the experiment
OF making him set OF false teeth.
Taking the cat for the plate was a
terrible piece Of work, as Captain objected
to it with all his might; but it was nothing
to what followed when the teeth were
fairly in. If the animal had plunged and
scratched while the plate was being filled,
he acted like mad thing when it was
firmly attached TO his jaw-although it
was we'll made and fitted perfectly. He
could not understand that it would enable
him to continue the luxurious feasts to
which he had been accustomed; and for
several days he was furious overit. Every
possible and impossible scheme was tried
to get the uncomfortable thing out OF his
mouth; he tore at it with his clsws, he
shook his head violently to make it drop
out, he butted against heavy pieces Of
furniture, and if any one come near him,
he growled and scratched at them.
There seemed to be danger of his going
mad, and his friends were sorely puzzled
to know what to do with him when,
greatly to their relief, he Gained down,
and appeared to have come to the con-
clusion that his possession was after all,
blessing in disguise. He was once
more gentle and affectionate, as he had
been previous to his misfortune; and the
plate was now often taken out between
meals and put back again. In this way
twas worn comfortably for overa year.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
CHILDREN.


Come to me, o We children!
For hear you ut your play.
And the questions that psrplexed me
Have vanished quite away.
Ye open the eastern windows
That look toward the sun,
Where thoughts are singing swallows
And the brooks of morning run.
Inyour hearts are the birds and the sunshine
In your thoughts the brooklets flow,
But in mine is the wind of autumn
And the first fall Of snow.
All! what would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
We would dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood,
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
or bright ter and Aunnier climate
Than reaches the trunk below.
Come to me, We children!
S And whisper In my ear
What the winds and the birds are singing
IN your sunny atmosphere.
what are all our contrivings
nd the wisdom of your books
Then compared with your caresseS
And the gladness of your looks?
Yc arc better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said,
For ye are living poems,
And ealf the rest are dead.

MAGAZINE NOTES.

The chief attraction in this number of
The Century is the unpublished diary OF
the secretary OF Admiral Sir George Cock
burn, who was in charge OF the ship which
conveyed Napoleon Bonaparte into exile
at St. Helena. 1t records the daily life
of Napoleon on board ship,and his familiar
table-talk on large variety Of topics, in
Guiding many notable events Of his own
history,-the siege OF Moscow, battle of
Waterloo, his proposed invasion of En-
gland, etc. Careful research fails to reveal
the previous publication OF any part Of
this remarkable narrative, which is not
only unique as contribution to Nepo-
Teonic literature, but has added interest in
connection with Las Cases account OF the
same voyage in his Memoirs OF Napo-

the differences which mark the two &C.
