POETRY.
LIES GOBLET,
BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

BY HENRY W. LONGFELLow.
Filled is Life's goblet to the brim:
And though my eyes with tears are dim
! see its sparkling bubbles SWIM,
And chant a melancholy hymn
with solemn voice and slow.
This goblet, wrought with curious art,
Is filled with waters, that upstart
When the deep fountains of the heart,
by strong commissions rent apart,
Are running all to waste.
And as 1T mantling passes round,
With fennel is it wreathed and crowned
Whose seed and foliage sun.imbrowned
Are In it's waters stepped and drowned
And give bitter taste.
Above the lowly plants it towers,
The fennel, with its yellow flowers,
And In an earlier age than ours
Was gifted with the wondrous powers
Lost vision to restore.
IL gave new strength, and fearless mood
And gladiators, fierce and rude,
Mingled it in their daily food:
And he who battled and subdued
A wreath of fennel wore.
Then in Life's goblet freely press
The leaves that give it bitterness.
y or prize the colored waters less,
For in thy darkness and distress
New light and strength they give
And he who has not learned to know
How false its sparkling bubbles show,
How bitter are the drops of woe
with which its brim may overflow,
He has not learned to live.
The prayer Of Ajax was for light
Thro' all that dark and desnerate fipht.
The olackness of that MONDAY night,
He asked but the return of sight
To see his foeman's face.
Let our unceasing, earnest PRAYER
BE, too, for light-for strength to bear
Our portion of the weight of care
That crushes into dumb despair
One-half the human race.

TO SPOIL A CHILD.-i. Begin
young by giving him whatever he
cries for.
2. Tell him he is too much for
you-that you can do nothing with
him.
3. Have divided counsels, as he.
tween father and mother.
4. Let him learn (from his fathers
example) to despise his mother.
3. Do not know or care who his
companions may be.
6. Let him read whatever he likes.
7. Let the child, whether boy or
girl, rove the streets in the evenings.
8. Strain at gnat and swallow a
camel; chastise severely for foible
and laugh at vice.
These rules are not untried. Many
parents have proved them with sub
stantial uniformity of results.

AN UNWITTING lNSULT.-At the
beginEing of the Civil War a great
many people were quite ignorant of
the pomp and splendor of military
rank and the Importance of military
titles. Their ignorance led to many
amusing Incidents, one of which is
tod in connection with General
Hardee.
1t was at the time that Albert Sid
ney Johnston was in command at
Bowling Green, KY, and General
Hardee was ordered with his COM
mand to that place from Columbus,
Ky. At that time the bridge over
the Tennessee river at Danville.
Tenn, had not been completed and
the general and his command had
to be ferried over the river to cars
on the opposite side.
When General Hardee had crossed
the river supposing, Of course, that
a special car had been provided for
himself and his military staff-he
accosted a brakeman belonging to
the train with the question
Where shall | and my staff 90 ?D
The brakeman, having no idea who
the general was, or of what his staff
consisted, after surveying him and
his sword thoroughly and somewhat
contemptuously, replied:
You can go into that car there,
and you can stick your old staff out
Of the window -

A Titled Husband.

No doubt it is "A delightful thing.
II your father has made some mil
lions, to dignity your obscure family
by wedding foreigner with swell
title. 1t is wise, however, to make
Inquiries into his character before
actually going to church with him.
From Paris there come two comic
tales about such Il union. The bride
was showing friend of hers the
other day over her gorgeOusly fur
niShed hotel, and in the drawing
room drew her attention to the mag
niticent chandelier. Piqued by her
lack OF enthusiasm, the bride re-
marked:
Well, you don't seem to say much
about my four-thOusand-pound chan
delier?"
-Four thousand pounds ?" said
the friend, with polite sneer.-
" Isn't that piling it up rather high (!
That very chandelier was offered to
me for two thousand three hundred. :"
That afternoon the bride drove to
the shop from which the chandelier
came and began an indignant speech
about the wickedness of charging
her four thousand pounds for chan
deller offered to some one else for a
little more than half. The dealer
interrupted her:
Madam, you are mistaken that
Chandelier was chosen by your hus-
band, was it not?
" Yes" she replied; "I never saw
1t till it was put up"
"And you gave him one hundred
thousand francs to pay for it with ?"
Certainly"
We offered it to him for fifty-
five thousand francs, but he beat us
down to fifty thousand, and that's
all we got. You had better ask him
to show you the receipt. | think
you will find he has lost it.n
"A little while later the bride re.
ceived a bill for forty thousand francs
for pearl necklace. The husband
had given it to her as a birthday
present, and she was pleased by the
kindly thought, although she knew
well she would have to pay, as the
pocket money she allowed him would
hardly cover such presents to his
Wllc. She was rather startled by the
price, since, though the pearls were
hne, two rows did not seem to repre-
sent anything like so large a sum so
she went to the jewellers to remon-
strate with him for cheating her hus-
band.
But, madam" said the jeweller,
" really, the price is very fair five
rows of such pearls, and very fair
u
thousand francs"
But there are only two!"
pardon me, madam, five when
we sold the necklace. l can show
you our book with the description |
and number of pearls"
He showed her the book, and she
Is no longer delighted by her hus-
bands kind attentions.

WANTED SPICE OF VARIETY
The expression of his face showed
that he was easily irritated, says the
Washington Star, and the contractor
into whose Office he walked braced
himself for trouble.

MAN AND WoRK.-Intelligon and
responsible work is the privilege and
glory Of man. Ii is true i'm a sense
that other animals work, and some
OF them in communities with rcgu-
lar and orderly division of labor
but even so, their efforts are instinc
tive, and invariably alike from age
to age-without progress and with
out deterioration. Man, however.
can adapt his work to all circum-
stances and to all needs. He has ar
rived from the flint file to the circu-
lar saw, from the stone javclin to
tho Armstrong gun, from the Jade
hammer to the giant Nasmyth, and
from fig leaves to shot silks. lie
burrows into the bowels of tho earth
and robs it of its treasures, explores
the bed Of the sea, and mounts aIort
In mid-air beyond the eagles high
est flight. He has measured and
weighed the planets, and put the
earth in a bBlance, has mapped out
the universe, and determined the
ComponentS of the stars.

HIGH ART AND ITS DODGES.-A
well known Partisan portrait
painter was not always the receiver
OF such handsome honorariums AS are
now paid for his portraits. Time
was when he lived in common
lodging-house near the Pantheon, at
an altitude of no less than seven
stories.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion but how to induce discrimi-
mating public to climb seven pairs of
stairs? He put up placard on the
basement of the house:
Portraits taken here, only ten
francs; studio on the third floor"
When the would-be purchaser had
arrived at the studio designated, he
found himself confronted by pla-
card, "Ten-franc portraits; the stu
dio has been removed to the fifth
floor"
