Two Famous Epigrams.

The late Nathaniel Deeriry Of Portland,
Me, began his career as a lawyer, many
years ago. in the little town of Canaan, in
the backwoods of his native state. Among
his acquaintance and ncighbors was Mrs.
L. NJ. Child, afterward II distinguished au-
thoress.
Being challenged one day by Mr.. Deer
ing to produce stanza in which his name
should be one of the rhyming words, Mrs.
Child took pencil and paper, and at once
replied as follows:
Whoever weds the young lawyer at c.
Will surely have prospects most cheering,
For what must his person and intellect bc
When even his name is N. Deering?
As good perhaps as the foregoing, but no
better, was the quatrain upon General
George p. Morris, the author of "Wood-
man, Spare That Tree" written, on the
instant, under similar challenge by John
Brougham, the actor:

USED A LADDER TO oErIN BED.

Remarkable Experience of an American
Tourist In Ireland.
An American who lately visited Ire
land writes: In the hotel at Dublin was
q bed 80 large and SO high that it
seemed a tableland Of mattress over
shadowed by a cliff Of headboards. 1t
seemed preposterous that any one
should monopolize bed of such size
and attempt to warm 1t. BY proper dI-
vision 1t would have supplied family.
when 1t came time to retire the ques-
tion was not how to get Into" bed. but
how to get ION" the bed. The top mat
tress was almost chin nigh, and it
seemed that to reach it there would
have to be hard climb or desperate
leap. While the problem of retiring
was under consideration dark object
was seen in one dim corner of the vasty
bedroom, which was imperfectly light
ed by a solitary candle. This object
proyed to be a movable stairway,
mounted on rollers. When 1t was
pushed against the behemoth bed the
problem Of how to retire was immedi-
ately solved. One had only to ascend
the stairs and then fall of into the en-
bracing depth of this most remarkable
he'd
