A Story About Uncle lake.

While in Washington some years ago
Uncle Jake Ziegler, of Butler and Captain
John Hastings, of this town, came to the
city on a political mission. Meeting
them at the National Hotel we were in
troduced to the Butler county philosoph-
er. and we all walked up the Avenue to-
gether. Uncle Jake was feeling quite
"raspederious, as Hoarce Mehring
would say, and was full Of Jokes and
good humor. Uncle Jake saw that he
had made hit with us, and seemed TO
make an extra effort to be jolly. One
instant we distinctly remember. As we
walked along, a very large and very
black "colored lady" passed us. She
was dressed within an inch or two of her
life, and swept along like stately skip
AS soon as she got by Uncle Jake stop
ped, assumed a solemn EXPRESSION and
dramatic attitude and said
"She walks in beauty like the night
Of cloudless cliInes and sunny skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes"
And then Uncle Jake and Captain
Hastings laughed heartily.-Punxs'y
