A few weeks later Mr.. and Mrs.
Brown made visit to Boston and at
reception the poet was introduced to
Miss Annabel Lehigh, in whom he dis
covered maiden who, while not yet in
the sere and yellow leaf, had passed the
age when marriage, as the statisticians
tell us, may be regarded as an acute
possibility. They were mutually
shocked, but Miss Annabel, recovering
first, was about to address some cutting
remarks to the poet, when Mrs. Brown
appeared on the scene, and fearing
from his expression that her husband
was about to have an attack of faint
ness, to which he was subject, hurried
him into the open air.
Miss Lehigh was left to gaze with
scorn at the retreating form Of him

A bachelor senator of West Virginia
handsome and popular, was making his
usual visits through his district just
prior to the election, when, as he left
his hotel in a small town, he saw a
prominent citizen on the opposite side
of the road. While well acquainted with
him, he was unacquainted with his FAM
lily. With his usual hearty manner, he
called out: "How are you, Colonel?"
which was returned, with the addition.
Are you looking around for votes?''

HENRY CLAY WAS RATIFIED.
But Remembered a Quotation just AZ
Good the Missing Words.

But Remembered a Quotation just as
Good as the Missing Words.
In the early twenties of this century
Mr.. Clay was appointed by the legisla-
ture of Kentucky a commissioner to
Virginia to ask of that state that a
commission be appointed to make a
definite line of demarcation between
the two states, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal. Upon his arrival in
Richmond he was received with great
courtesy by its most distinguished citi-
zens He said that his profession,
politics and affairs had occupied his
time so exclusively that he was aware
of knowing little of polite literature OF
the favorite publications of the day.
This prompted him to ask an old friend
whom he knew to be a literary man to
select some lines to introduce when ad-
dressing the legislature, as a quotation
expressive of his feelings to the state
of Virginia, as his birthplace. His
friend suggested q stanZa from Scott's
Lay of the Last Minstrel" which he
highly approved and memorized. The
udy dppOlultu lOT HIS duulCoo lOuhu
the galleries, halls and every available
space crowded with eager, expectant
auditors, and many beautiful women
in bright attire gave brilliancy to the
scene. He held the attention of his
audience with entire success until he
came to the part where he meant to
introduce the quotation. Then his
memory failed him. The shock was ap.
palling for a moment. He stood rigid
and pale before thousand watchful
eyes, in his mind only blank, before
him turbulent sea Of upturned faces
With a characteristic gesture he threw
up his hands to his forehead and in his
most sonorous tones he recited the fol.
lowing words:
"Breathes there a man with soul so
dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!'
continuing his speech amid deafenine
applause.
Every one present had supposed that
he was overcome with emotion, and
none but the friend who had selected
the quotation for him perceived the
cause of his momentary panic.

praised his book in a subtle, delicate
yelled manner in language as choice
and elegant as if borrowed-as per-
chance it was-from the pages of an old
manual of polite correspondence.
AS the writer, Miss Annabel Lehigh,
gave her address in Boston, and
begged for an autograph letter from
him, the poet wrote short note thank
ing her for her kind praise. In few
days he received another letter from
her in which she confessed that she,
too, had been scorched by the flames
of the divine fire of poetry and begged
him to pass judgment upon some lines
inclosed. The lines were, to say the
least, excellent, and, while they had
familiar ring in Mr.. Browns mental
ear, as If he had read something very
like them in some long forgotten vol
ume, he could not believe the gentle
writer guilty of plagiarism, and wrote
commencing her verses.
This called forth so immediate an
answer, with more poems to be criti-
cised, that Mr.. Brown was startled, and
yet, udNluS Idllcu luLO Lut COIItSpOnu-

self, so at the end of the month, the
limit set for his daughters visit, he had
quite packet of letters from Miss An
mabel.
Singularly enough, he had neglected
telling his wife of the affair, but de-
termined to take Emily into his conf
dence, especially as he knew she would
discover the matter for herself. The
determination was strengthened by the
receipt of lengthy missive from Miss
Annabel, in which, after declaring that
her heart told her that he was not only
young and handsome, but unmarried
and waiting yearningly for his affinity.
she boldly declared herself that affin-
ity and babe him fly to her arms.
Mr.. Brown had not expected any such
complication to arise and was truly
alarmed. 1t was, therefore, with a
strong feeling Of relief that he shifted
his burden onto Miss Emily's shapely

OF bad habit he had contracted OF

Short and decidedly stout, without the
slightest tinge of melancholy in his ex-
preston, he did not have one outward
sign OF being a poet, yet proved he was
true one by writing only when his
muse fairly thrust the pencil between
his fingers, and what he then produced
was well worth reading.

did, with their charming wild flavor and
the breeziness Of hill and field breath
ing through every line, no wonder they
appealed to the heart and touched it as
more studied and artificial poetry, be it
ever so fine, can never do.
At the age of As, having amassed a
comfortable fortune in the banking
business,he retired and gave himself up
to the true enjoyment Of life with his
wife and family, the latter consisting
OF two young sons and daughter Of 10.
About this time he began a small vol
ume, which he called Rural Treas
ures," which he finished in six months
time, working only as has been said,
when muse-inspired. The little vol.
ume attained an instant popularity,
which surprised its publishers, who did
not understand how it had caught the
public's favor:
But many a city man, who had been
born and raised in the country, knew
and understood the charm of the book,
and wiped away the tears which started
unbidden at the memories awakened by
such simple verses as "Wading in the
Stream" "The Old Schoolhouse," and
"The Early Violet"

Browns mail became so heavy, be-

charity his daughter Emily eagerly
begged for the position and spent the
early morning hours attending to his
correspondence in her fathers hand

young amanuensis, Mr.. Brown again

a letter which particularly pleased him.

PRESIDENT AND CABINET.
General Harrison Describes the Duties
of the Chief Executives Advisers


"In all important matters the president
is consulted by all the secretaries. writes
ex- Presid ent Harrison in March Ladies'
Home Journal, in an article upon The
Pres ident's Duties
He is responsible for all executive &C
ton, and everything that is out Of the
routine receives his attention. Every i'm
portant foreign complication is usually
discussed with him, and the diplomatic
note receives his approval
THE same thing Is true of each OF the
departments. Routine matters proceed
without the knowledge or Interference of
the president; but, il any matter of
major Importance arises the secretary
presents it for the consideration and adj
vice OF the president. Only matters of
great and general importance affecting
the general policy OF the administration
are discussed in the cabinet meetings
according to my experience and votes
are of rare occurrence.
amy secretary desiring to have an ex-
preston upon any question in his de-
partment presents il, and it Is discussed;
but usually questions are settled in a
conference between the president and the
head OF the particular department. There
is yielding OF views, now on one side,
now on the other; but ii must, OF course,
follow that " hen the president has views
that he feels ne cannot yield, those views
must prevail, for the responsibility is his,
both in constitutional and popular
sense.
My habit was to give an afternoon TO
each cabinet officer, on fixed day Of the
week. These meetings We're chiefly given
up TO the consideration OF appointments,
but If any other matters We're pending,
and deemed by the secretary OF sufficient
Importance they We're presented and dis
cussed. The labors Of a cabinet officer
are incessant and full OF responsibility.
His time is largely taken W with calls,
and, like the president, h. must. out OF
such fragments of time as he can secure,
manage to study and decide the imp ortant
questions that are daily presented to
min,
