Ave years and when her mother died
I took care Of the child. It was all

Some months ago, In one of the
many beautiful park spaces in WASH

memory Of the poet Longfellow. In
late afternoon, while the unwilling
ceremonies were in progress, two
washerwomen of the colored persua-

their baby carriages containing the
wash" of their patrons. AS they
drew near the large crowd of specta-
tors, the admirers of the poets work,
took off their hats and bowed their
heads for 9 moment, during some part
Of the proceedings.

colored wash ladies.

Judges WIGS.

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a stern judi.
cial appearance, and no one can cay
that it fails in this respect. The Gus
tom was originated by a French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don a marquis
wig one day he found It gave him
such a stern and dignifed appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times in court.
This he did, and the result was SO
satisfactory from a legal point of
view, that not only judges, but bar
r%isters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.

Lines Written in Earlv sprIno


I heard e thousand blended notes,
While in a grove ! sat reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasan
thoughts
Ering sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The una soul that through me ran:
And much 1t grieved my heart to think
What man has made a man.
Through primrose tufts. in that gree
bower,
The periw1nkle trailed its wreaths;
And it's my faith that very flower
Enjoys the air it breaths.
The birds around me hoped and played,
Their thoughts I can not measure
But the least motion which they made,
1t seemed a thrill Of pleasure.
The building twtgs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
Il this belief from heaven be sent,
1t such be Natures holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
