The Needle and the Pin.

A pin and needle, being neighbors
in workbasket and both being idle
folks began to quarrel, as idle folks are
apt to do
II should like to know said the
pin, ''what you are good for and how
you expect to get through the world
without a head?'
"What is the use of your head re-
piled the needle sharply, eff you have
no eye?'
"What is the use of an eye," said the
pin, eff there is always something in
it?'
81 am more active and can 60 through
more work than you cam" said the
needle.
"Yes, but you will not live long be-
cause you have always stitch in your
side," said the pin.
"You are poor, crooked creature,
said the needle.
and you are SO proud that you can
not bend without breaking your back. "
"I'll pull your head off if you insult
me again.
"l'll pull your eye out if you touch
me. Remember, your life hangs on
single thread" said the pin.
While they were thus conversing a
little girl entered and, undertaking to
sew, she very soon broke off the needle
at the eye. She then tied the thread
around the neck of the pin, and, attempt
ing to sew with it, she soon pulled it's
head off and threw it into the dirt by
the side of the broken needle.
well, here we are, ~ said the needle
"We have nothing to fight about
now said the pin 1T seems misfor-
tune has brought US to our senses. ~
"a pity we had not come to them
sooner" saith the needle. GLOW much
We resemble human beings, who quarrel
about their blessings till they lose them

they lie down in the dust together, as
we dop'-Household Words.

RUFUS CHOaTE,
he stood Easily at the Head of All the
Forensic Speakers of His Day.

Forensic Speakers of His Day.
Again, Mr.. Choate was an orator and
an orator with a range scarcely paraIleled
In our country He stood easily at the
mead OF all forensic speakers against whom
he was pitted. He held the breathless AFT
! tention of senate where fingered the
j echoes of Webster's voice and where CLAW
and Calhoun were still to be heard and he
was first rate favorite on the platform of
the convention and the lyceum at a time
/ when both teemed with fascinating and
instructive speakers To occupy a first
class rank in three such highly specialized
lines OF oratory is rare indeed, vet no one
ever disputed Mr.. Choate's right to that
position. Before MIR. Webster had been
dead nine months Mr.. Choate delivered his
euAogy at Dartmouth college, and Mr..
Everett, speaking of the Grafton in the
next month, called the orator our match
less Choate who has just electrified the
land with burst of eloQuence not easily
70 be paralleled in the line of time :"
rounding his oratory upon the solid basis
OF profound learning, whether in law, in
government or in literature, he kindled
The mass of all these acquisitions by his
rhetorical genius into consuming heat
and dazzling light all his own.
MT. Choate's oratory was distinguished
Tor an intense richness and exuberance of
language, caught in no slight measure
from his favorite Cicero. This sometimes
makes his speeches difficult to read The
overlooking sentences are too long The
teeming fancy, the bounteous illustration,
verge on the grotesque. But they were
meant for the hour, to be heard, not read
and two things carried off every vestige of
II ir,..C ~
personal appearance on every occasion was
SO striking that it held the attention of his
auditors with an influence that was mag
1cal. OF other distinguished orators, Will
liam Pinkney was famous, as was Erskine
In England, for the extreme, almost fop-
pish, elegance and splendor of his appear
ance. Henry Clay presented singular
combination of features, the most uncouth
that could easily be imagined, with gal
lantry of delivery and magnetism of tone
that generally captivated any new hearers,
but mingled with a great imperiousness
and defiance that made not few enemies
in the senate. Sargent S. Prentiss, second
to no American speaker in his amazing
power of arousing enthusiasm, offered at
the outset presence as insignificant as
St. Paufs. Mr.. Webster's massive stature
and deep set eyes are familiar to all. though
the slow manner and ponderous diction of
later years belonged to the days of his
greatest triumphs. But the power of Mr.
Choate's look and manner was something
of a different order. His shock of raven
hair. his wildly flashing eye. his gaunt
frame, his saliow cheek, his restless action,
and, above ALL his strangely musical voice
and rhythmical delivery, arrested and held
attention in an uncanny, a witchlike, man
ner, unearthly in every note, look and
movement.-New England Magazine.

Maori TattOOing.

When Abel Jansen Tasman discovered
New Zealand, an achievement dated as
long ago as the days in which our first
Charles was endeavoring to settle old scores
with his faithful commons, he observed
no tattooing on the faces of the natives;
hence it is suggested that the art Of Mokc
arose after his day. But 1asman only saw
Maoriland Whether spurred onward by
the dread of scurvy or drawn homeward by
the charms of Maria van Dieman, at any
rate he fed from the islands without set
ting foot on them. What he did not see or
did not note of them and their inha bitants
was so much that there need be no surprise
that his distant glimpses of the MaoriS did
not reveal to him the blue tattoo lines on
their brown faces But that the New Zea-
land Maoris brought tattooing with them
from Polynesia is matter of reasonable
certitude Their instruments used for
marking were virtually the same as those
