CHOATE'S

From The Youths Companion
1T Is notorious that the handwriting OF
the scholar sometimes does little credit to
his learning. Ingenious but Illogical
sShoolboys have generalized from such in
sufficient premises that the worse their
writing the brighter their chances of be-
coming learned men. From the parental
point of view the argument seems radically
unsound. but that the premise Is sometimes
true is beyond question. Miss Caroline
Ticknor tells an amusing story of Rufus
Choate.
Her grandfather, George Ticknor, the
historian of Spanish literature. was once
called as a witness in a case in which Mr..
Choate was engaged rs counsel. Sitting be-
side the eminent lawyer. during the prog
ress of the trial. he was attracted by Mr..
Choate's notes Of the evidence.
He found that he could not read a word
of them. After studying them a short time
he remarked to Mr.. Choate that the writing
reminded him Of two autograph letters in
his possession. one Of Emanuel. 9TH Fortu-
nate" Of Portugal. dated 1872. and the other
of Gonzalvo de Cordova, the Great Cap
TAIN" as he was called. written a few
years earlier. Any one who had glanced
over these remarkable speciments of chirog-
raphy would marvel that it was possible
to make out a syllable of such illegible
scrawls.
These letters" Mr.. Ticknor assured Mr..
Choate. were written three hundred and
fifty years ago. and strongly resemble your
notes of the present trial"
Choate's reply was instantaneous:
Remarkable men. no doubt; they seem
to have been much in advance Of their
time"

DOWN HIS THROAT.
m a Baltimore Exchange.

From a Baltimore Exchange.
S~aloonkeeper Albert Eichelhereer of
Washington County Is a man with a fer
vent fancy and a poetic tendency. Why
he should wish to shuttle of this mortal
coil Is difficult to see. for a man of such
original fancies ought to keep himself alive
as long as possible to make the world
merry. Despair and dependency sometimes
comes to the gayest Of men, however, and
Saturday was one Of Albert's times. Be
fore swallowing an almost fatal dose of
laudanum, he sat down and penned these
verses. which he intrusted to the care of
his wife, to be read after his death:
When I am dead and in my grave
No more whisky will I crave;
And on my tombstone rave 1t wrote
That many a gallon vent down my throat.
Here Is undoubtedly one Of those frank
and open confessions that are good for the
soul. AS Albert's friends were able to re-
vive him after some hours of heroic treat
ment. it may be some time before this
stanza on his tombstone is wrote" and
everything points to the superstition that a
few more gallons will go down his throat.

When l Was a Boy.

Up in the attic where 1 slept
When I was a boy, a little boy,
In through the lattice the moonlight crept,
Bringing q tide of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle bed,
Bathing the tangled curly head.
While moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on each sun Drowned
cheek
When I was a boy-a little boy!
And. oh. the dreams, the dreams 1 dreamed
When I was a boy-a little boy!
For the grace that through the lattice
streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy,
And to bring me glimpses of times to be
Where manhood's clarion seemed to call,
All, that was the sweetest dream of all
When I was a boy-a little boy!
I'd like to sleep where I used to sleep :
When I was a boy-a little boy!
For in at the lattice the moon would peep.
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint to-
day,
And those dreams should give me back
again
The peace I have never known since then
When / was a boy-a little boy!

SEARCH FOR A SONG.

from the Youths Companion.
DOCTOR Henry ]. Bigelow, the eminent
Boston surgeon, was very fond Of music.
and knew something of it theoretically
enough, at least. to carry in his head the
tunes he liked. Street musicians were used
to his requests for repeating a melody, but
in one case he had some difficulty In tracing
a song when he wished to procure 1t for
himself.
His quick ear had caught a new air upon
a hand organ, and he at once asked the
Italian grinder its name. The man could
not speak a word of English, and it was
only with difficulty that Doctor Bigelow
learned the title OF the tune, and wrote it
d~own-Silva tredi mon digo.
Then he went to a music shop, and set
the clerk upon its TRAIL
Nobody could guess what it might be, and
one italian collection after another was
overhauled, until at last all the clerks in
the shop were brought into reauisition.
Finally one of them had a bright thought.

HUNTINGTON LIKED
OLD FASHIONED POETRY

From theChicagO Record.
Mr.. Huntington was fond of old-fashioned
poetry. and used to read johnson, Southey,
Keats. Goldsmith, Cowper, Kirke White,
Coleridge and other English writer's of the
last century with a great deal Of pleasure.
Crabbe was a favorite. He kept a volume
of Crabbe's poems in his office desk. He
believed that Lord Bacon wrote the Shakes
peare plays. having reached that conclu-
sion. as he used to say, as a purely business
proposition. There is no evidence, he said,
that Shakespeare could even write. There
is not a line Of his manuscript in ex-
~istence, and only one or two questionable
autographs. The voluminous writing at
tributed to him could not have been SO
completely destroyed except by intention,
and they were too we'll known and valuable
to admit of such a thing. Mr.. Huntington
had a theory that Shakespeare, being a
sort of stage manager, put what is called
the stage business into Bacon's COMPOSE
tions. and that Bacon. desiring to conceal
his authorship. allowed them to be pro-
duced under Shakespeare's name.

LAFAYETTE FORGOT
TEN IN FRANCE,

AAN NO1l
From the Youths Companion.
THE name of Lafayette, so familiar and
SO gratefully remembered by all in Amer
ica' Is hardly known In France. In his ma
tive land he is forgotten by all except stu
dents Of history and genealogists.
When the Washington and Lafayette
monument, by Bartholdi, was unveiled in
Paris. Frenchmen recognized the former at
once as Le Grand American. but said.
WHO is this Lafayette that is taking him
by the hand7"
The new grand Lafayette statue and
monument, for which the school children Of
the United States nave contributed their
pennies to the amount Of nearly $780, 600
francs. French money, has been formally
accepted by the French Government and
accorded a favorable site in the Court Of
the Louvre. A fac-simile Of 1t. in staff"
has already been set up. But the Govern
ment officials and a few Of the better ed
ucated class appear alone to comprehend
its purport and significance.
That tho young people Of the United
States should a k SO great an interest in
a Frenchman whom his fellow-countrymen
knew nothing Of seems to mystify the pres
ent generation of Parisians. They appear
Aic1ineo 10 regard 1t as a freak on the part
Of the queer Americans.
Let US hope that their descendants will be
better instructed, and that this noble me-
mortal raised in their city by the youth Of
America will aid them to an appreciation
OF one of the purest souls and most dis
interested patriots that France has pro-
duced-and neglected.
1t was only by using a guide book in Eng
lish that l was able to find Lafayette's
grave-in a moldy, unkempt corner of the
grounds of the convent of the Petit Picpus.
A small stone slab alone marks the spot.
Hard by it were buried Unfortunately in
pits the bodies Of nearly 1000 unfortunates
who persisted by the guillotine during the
Reign of Terror.

Be Kind,

Ahlu
Be kind to thy father-for when thou vast
young,
Who loved thee so fondly as he!
He caught the first accents that fell from
thy tongue,
And Joined in thy innocent glee.
Be kind to thy father, for now he is old.
His locks intermingled with gray;
His footsteps are feeble-once fearless and
bold.
Thy father is passing away.
Be KIM to Thy mother-for 10. on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen;
OH! well may'st thou cherish and comfort
her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember thy mother, for thee will she
pray,
As long as God giveth her breath;
With accents Of kindness then cheer her
lone way,
Fen to the dark valley of death.
Be kind to thy brother-his heart may
w dearth:
If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn.
The flowers of feeling will fade at their
birth,
II the love Of affection be gone.
Be kind to thy brother, wherever you are,
The love of a brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far,
Than pearls from the depths of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister-not many may know
The depths of true sisterly love;
The wealth OF the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Be kind to thy father, once fearless and
bold,
Be kim to thy mother so near;
Be kind to thy brother, nor show thy heart
cold.
Ee kind to thy sister SO dear.

I.ifp'S Philosophy.

tbs not the lightly-laden heart of man
That loves the best the hand that blesses
all;
But that which grooming with its weight Of
sin,
Meets with the mercy that forgiveth much.
Old tunes are precious to me as old paths
in which 1 wandered when a happy boy.
When men get loose in their theology, the
screws are started UP in everything.
Hearts. like apples, are hard and sour,
Till crushed by pains resistless power;
And yield their juices rich and bland
To none but Sorrows heavy hand.
Inc purest streams of human love
Flow naturally never,
But gush by pressure from above,
With Gods hand on the lever.
The first are turbidest and meanest,
ine last are sweetest and serenest.
Life evermore is fed by death,
In earth. and sea, and sky;
And that a rose may breathe its breath,
Something must die.
Thus is it over all the earth:
That which we call the fairest
And prize for its SURPRISING worth,
Is always rarest.
All common good has common price;
ENactlng good exceeding:
Christ brought the keys of Paradise,
BY cruel bleeding.
