The Tillage Stork. BAYARD TAVLOH'S LAST POEM. The old Hercrnian forest sent His weattarr on the plain; Wahh< iakel's orchards writhed and bent lu whirls of wind and rain. Within her nest, upon the roof. F?r generation tempest-proof, Wahlwinkel's stork -with her young ones lay, f-I. When the hand of the hurricane tore away The house and the home that held them. The storm passed by; ihe happy trees Stood up and kused tbe tun; And from the birds new melodies Came fluting one by one. The stork, upon the paths below, Went sadly pacing to aud fro, With dripping plumes and head depressed, For the thought of the spoiled ancestral ne>t, And the old, inherited honor. Wi?j 'Behold hc~now !" the turostle sang From oat tho linden tree, " Who knows from what a lino the sprang, j Beyond the unknown sea?'' "If she could sing, perchance her tale Might. move ue." chirrnpcd the nightingale. i " 8ong V She can only rattle and creak!" *Vhistled the bullfinch, with silvor beak, Within the barn of his prison. And all birds there, or loud or low, Were one in ncoff and scorn; Brt dtill the stork paced to and fro, As utterly forlorn. Then suddenly, in turn of eye, She saw a poet passing by, And the thought in his brain was sa arrow of fire, That pierced her with passion and pride and ; ?.v ^e . And gave her a voice to answer. 8h? raised her bead and shook her wings, And faced the Dipinjr crowd. - ~ ' Beet Bervice," said she, " never siDgs; Trne honor is not loud. My kindred carol not, nor boast; Yet we are loved and welcomed most, And oar ancient race is dearest and first, And the hand that Lnrts us held accursed In every home of Wahlwiukel! " Beneath a sky forever fair, And with a summer sod, [ The land I come from smiles?and there Sly brother was a god! r"*" My nest upon a temple stands And sees the shine of desert lands; And the palm and the tamarisk cool my wings j When the blazing beam of the noonday stings, | And I drink from the holy river! !v "There I am sacred, even as here; Yet dare I not be lost, , When meads are bright, hearts full of cheer, At blithesome pentecost Then from my obelisk I depart, Guided by something in my heart, And sweep in a line over Lybian sands To the blossoming olives of Grecian lands, And rest on the Cretan Ida ! " Parnassus tees mo as I sail; S3w'' . . I cro-s ibe Adrian brine; The distant summits fade and fall, if-. ; Dsmaltian, Apennine; The Alpine snows beneath me gleam, 1 see the yellow Danube stream! But J hasten on until my spent wings fall Where i bring a blessing to each and all. And babes to the wives of Wahlwinkel!" 8he drooped her head and spake no more; The birds on either hand Sang louder, lustier than before ? They could not understand. Thus mused the stork, with snap of beak: j 44 Better be silent than so speak! Highest being can never be taught; ; They have their voices, I my thought; And they were never in Egypt!"

"Confound it 1" ^^^?Hewfilkcd gloomily to the window . ^^ancuoolfeth out^-on the vivid green of i the oroqnet lawn, on white and red roses clustering about the porch; on the old rector, tending his favorite gerani- j nms in the distance, amid a blaze of \ sunshine and glow of color. Mat longed ! to the somber room seemHa"iu?fjp>pen the French windows, j " v drew'a long brc-ath, and thrast his fin-, gers into the pockets of his shootingcoat, falling naturally into a careless, j lounging attitude, peculiar to him. The ' fingers came in contact with a note, and j idly brought it to light. It was ad- i dressed in a woman's handwriting, to "Matthew Curtis, Esq., M. D." A grim smile played about that gentleman s lips as he reflected how unsuited was that formal superscription to the jovial, reckless good-for-naught, known to rich a ad poor for miles around as young Mat Curtis. With a listless air he drew forth the l-.riof fnflnnnw*. His face darkened as he perused it. " Miss Agnes Bellne would be glad to have a few minutes' conversation with i Mr. Curtis." " Lover-like?very!"commented Mat, with sarcastic emphasis. Another glance at the delicate paper aud the firm square handwriting, the | dark look hardening the while, until tbe character of the face seemed completely altered. "Look at it!" quoth Mat. "Her hand never trembled; vhere is not a wavering stroke ! Why, most girls would jv" ory their eyes out while writing such a f " .note as that to their lovers!" I * He crushed the offending missive into fc ** crumpled ball as he spoke, and adilressod a few more expletives to the ' ^Vfair sunshine ? expletives peculiarly ; * pnbefitting a clergyman's study, or the L-; tearing of the young lady who noise* ;Messly entered in time indistinctly to1 . .# catch them. ./ ?

"Pardon me," she says, icily; "so * 'interesting a conversation with yourself r ' ift probably of a confidential nature." * '* Mat turn3 with a flaming face, a j ' quick, deprecating gesture, a courteous, ! opologetio bow and speech that some- i how in their confused humility stamp pr him as a gentleman. * ' ' " I trust indeed you did not hear it. " t I earnestly crave forgiveness if you >,-did!" She contemptuously dilbiisses the' matter with the slightest wave of a little / -.jeweled hand. Cold, hard, proud she v * looks, and her words have a clear-cut .. articulation suggestive of newly-clipped -^^T-eSins. % I sent for you." " Yes," answers Mat, defiantly. His ' C penitence is dying away?the dark, hard ' - expression is returning. ,:Just my; pX Inck," it seems to repeat. -."To bog an answer to two quesflkms," | .* continues Mies Bellue. Mat bows, thrusts his hands into the j deep shooting-pockets once more, and - resnmes the careless, lounging attitude. ! " Have you entered your name, not- j r . withstanding my protest, as a gentle- ! * man-rider for the autumn steeple- i chasps?" -"Yea." > / " Is it, indeed, true, that last night * "you involved yourself in a poaohing af .' fray, actually knocking down a keeper ! ' and-helping the poachers to escape ?" ' * " Yes," says Mat, with a kind of sul- j len despair. , Miss Bellue draws something from * !>/> rrrUita fincrAJSJ lirtlfln 't.

" Return it to yonr fingfv, nr.d receive judgment vtill yoa hear the defense 1" And beholds '' the ring toward her, with a great, clumsy hand that trembles somewhat ' 4 Still no andible reply. A faint shake of the head, a look of polite incredulity -thai is all. *p " Do you not care ?" he asks. w His appealing eyes search her faoe. tl It does not change. Beautiful, imperturbable, the sentence written there h never varies. His unsteady fingers drop d the ring ; but he lets it lie, half buried r< in a fleecy rug. Then, with a set, stern a look, he sets his foot npon it, bows fi slightly, and walks from the room. He leaves the house, passing the window to gain the road, but looking neith- g er to the right.nor to the left. h His head is erect, his hand*! aire out of the loose pockets. For once (startling h transformation), young Mat Cart is looks I k positively dignified. i r And as he vanishes as startling a transformation takes place in the room ^ be has qnitled. Miss Bellue proves herself a woman, and not a queen, by a I serios of actions essentially feminine. j First, she refctics the bent love-token ; from tbo floor; then she kisses it and ! o cries over it; then she locks it away i e carefully In a writing-depfe; then she t rnshes up stairs to watch her lover out of sight from an upper window. j1; For a quarter of a mile or so she j watched him, a retreating figure, grow- | ing smaller anil smaller in the distance, j t He never once looked back; the regu- j lar march of his steps never faltered; a turn of the road hid him from sight. ^ Miss Bellue sat down on the floor?a 8 most undignified position?and cried j till her pretty eyes were red and swollen. r " It is all over !" she moaned?"all over I" * * ? "Fire! Fire!" jj: Mat sprang from his bed, and, with | professional expertness struck a light, i I tumbled into some clothes and rusned j from the house. ^ No need to ask whence the alarm pro- j * ceeded; the fierce pillar of flame and ^ tho red glow in the sky were beacons ; ? toward which he ran at headlong speed, j11 with one thought in his mind, " I pray i 8 heaven it may not be the rectory !" j J1 "Where is it?" he shouted to two '1 laborers, fagging along as swiftly as 11 heavy boots and ponderous habits of;0 progression would let them. j * " Farmer Joyce's, sur." ? "Farmer Joyce's! Thank heaven! j The next house to the rectory, but not j ^ noiir onnnoh In pndnna#?r it, t" Mat's suspense pave place to a thrill j P of almost pleasuiable excitement; it -was his " mad young blood " asserting itself. Dashing through a gateway, he v almost ran over a girl, bare-headed, wringing her hands in impotent anxiety. It was Miss Bellue. ? " Go b? ck at once," commanded Mat, J curtly. " Pat on a hat, and the thickest 11 shawl yon have." a The panic-stricken girl obeyed. Not P till afterward did it occnr to her he had " no right to issue such instructions. M^hen she returned it was to find Mat- 1 thew Curtis, Esq., M. D., in the center * of a burning pig-stye, pitching out *j squeaking, half-roosted porkers. j j " Just my luck !" he grumbled, ex- , ? amining his scorched fingers. " If they j bad been babies, now, I might have ; gained some credit at the same risk." 8 " The stable is a-fire, sur I" c " What!" shouted Mat. He did not P wait for the information to bo repealed. J An ardent lover of horseflesh, it was an ? appeal to his sympathies that sent him round intervening outbuildings in a state \ ? of breathless suspense. j ? It was true. The stable was on fire; j * tho hoises were screaming with terror; j * two or three rustics were making excited , c and fruitless attempts to drag them out i ?attempts tho poor animals resisted j ? with all their might. A little crowd of I 4 men looked cn idly and despairingly. 8 "Jim, run into the barn and get;4 three or four empty sacks and a rope. ! ? Quick 1" | 4 "Yes, sur." ;8 By drawing a sack over each animal's : neau ana necK, thus oiinaioming it; oy i passing a ropo round the forelegs and | setting strong arms to haul, and by a I1 little organization of brave but until i ? then ill-applied efforts, a rescue was h effected. All the horses were saved ex- ? cept one poor brute smothered by the ^ smoke. ? Farmer Joyce came up, with a grimy J hand extended in honest gratitude. "Thank you kindly, sir. I don't mind for the ricks and the buildings? , they are insured; but it went to my heart to hear them poor brutes scream." ,, Mat gave his left hand?the right one ' was bound up with a handkerchief. The old rector joined them, Miss Bellue lean- j ing on his arm. "The danger is over now, Joyce, I i think. Mat, como across with me." j Mat glanced at the averted face of the ). young lady, and misconstrued it. She ; wos, in truth, ashamed to meet his eye. j The contrast between his coolness and courage and her physical cowardice j humbled her. " I have burnt my hand and arm ? slightly?just my luck 1" said Mat. "I j must go hom? at once to dress them." 8 He took off his hat as be spoke, awk n wardly enough, with the left hand, and ? turned away. j <i " He is ft fine fellow, Agnes, that y lover of your?,'' said the rector; "but i his manner iB rather abrupt to-night. | ^ What ails him ?" j j "Never mind, papa ?revet mind." j j, There was a kind of wail in Miss Bel- i lue's voice. "A lovers' quarrel," thought the j rcc'.or, segoly. "Then my attitude j j, must ba one of dignified neutrality? j my policy non-intervention;" and he laughed quietly to himself at the conceit. ! ? Mat wrts dressing his burns in the c surgery when the outer door opened and I a his father entered. ; " Halloo, father I "Who called you up ! , ^ It was my turn to-night." It should be oxplainei that " young ! * Mat Curtis" and " the old doctor" were | partners. j "The old doctor" made no reply. !?

' e Mat touched his arm gently. " What is it, father?'' ' ' v "Doctor Cartis' lips moved twice be- i ^ fore any sound issued; then he uttered j but ono word: " Cholera !" > ^ Upon Mat's face there came a faint j reflection of his father's fear. The ' j scourge had been raging with frightful ! fi violence in distant parts of England. ; They had talked of it often, dreading its ? approach, trnstii'g it might pass by this v pure, healthy village. " No; the next day three cases were , ^ reported and one death. The rival : ^ practitioner, Mr. Bennett, a man of i good private means, fled with his wife | and family. Mat and " the old doctor" j were worked almost to death. No need ! j of bar-parlor discussions, or approaching j c steeple-chases, or poaching affrays now c to quiet the mad young blood. i g Mut went from house to house with a | / gravo face, and a cheerful, kindly, hope-1B ful word to every poor terrified wretch, j who shuddered at his own fears. j Then bis faflier was stricken, " the , old doctor." t Poor "old doctor!" When the evil | ] he had dreaded really came to him, , eeized upon him, he grew brave and j, strong. i j " Nonsense, lad 1" he said, when Mat j j tried to speak encouraging words from a ? sinking heart. "I have no stamina; ; j I could not expect to live much longer j \ in the ordinary course of nature. Don't j blink the truth, boy. I shall be glad 1 { to die in hnrness." * **?' Miss Bellue watched tho funeral pro- j cession from that same upper window 6ho had onoe before put to a similar use. Yery contrite was Miss Bellue in theee 1 day|i A horrible dread had taken pos- c session of her with the first report of i cholera in the village. She fought t against it; she hatred herself for it; she c tried to drag herself to the beds of the t sickpcor; but trembling limbs refused a to carry her. It was constitutional t physical cowardice; and every gossiping I tale of Mat's calm heroism increased her i ?1( .knnommi* on/I Viar InVA And fl/lmirft- I tion for that unconscious gentleman. ? His father's death gave him double i work, but he did not spare himself. He i suatcbod food, rest, sleep, when and how ? he could, until the epidemic died out s almost; then as the last case was in a 1 fair way of recovery he sickened. t " My luck has changed," said Mat, 1 )1 iiha smile. "I can be spared now le work is done." Miss Bellue heard the news the same our. A housemaid to whom she had one some little kindness ran off to the ectory to tell her. Mies Bellue gave a order or two and went straight to her ither's study. " Papa, Mat is stricken down." " Bless my soul!" said the rector, in reat excitement. " Poor lad?poor id I" "I have told Jenkins to put the orses to the brougham and the houseeeper to get the green bed-room eady." "Eh?" aud the old gentleman looked ery bewildered. " And you must fetch Mat," explained liss Bellue, calmly. "But?but "? " He shall not be left to the nursiDg if those icnorant servants," she insist d, resolutely. " He shall be brought lere or I will assuredly go to him." The rector had yielded to her all her ife. He shook his head in perplexity. " Are you not afraid, dear?"

Many incidents similar to the following, and quite as amusing, have occurred c n the lives of eminent people. The t London City Press says: t A curious adventure once occurred in \ he London offices of the late I'.r, W. t jindsay, merchant, ship-owner and an I. P. There one day entered a brusque j >ut wealthy ship-owner of Sunderland, t quiring for Lindsay. As Mr. Lind v ay was out. the visitor wps requested ] o wait in an ajacent rooio, where he e Dund a person busily engaged in copy- e Qg figures. The Sunderland ship- d wner paced the room several times, \ nd took careful notice of the writer's li oings, and at length said to him : a "Thou writes a bonny hand, thou ost." f, " I am glad you think so," was the re'ly. n "Ah, thou dost; thou machs thy t gures weel; thou'rt just the chap I o rant." li " Indeed," said the Londoner. t " Yes, indeed," said the Sunderland ?? T'm a mnn nf wnrrls! noo. if II hou'lt come over to canny old Sunder- p md, thon seest I'll gie thee a hundred fc nd twenty pounds a year, and that's a t: ilum thou doBt not meet with every t lav in thy life, I reckon. Noo, then." jThe Londoner replied that he was a" ciueh obliged for the offer, and would j e rait till Mr. Lindsay returned, whom e e would consult upon the subject. Lccordingly, on the return of the lat- t er, he was informed of the ship-owner's t: empting ofler. q "Very well," said Mr. Lindsay; "I fc hould be sorry to 6tand in your way; c roe hundred and twenty pounds is at a resent more than I can afford to pay r ou in the department in which you are n ,t present placed. You will find my j riend a good and kind master, and uner the siren instances, tho sooner you : now each other the better. Allow me, j herefore, Mr. , to introduce the fl It. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, of the Exhequer." J Mr. Gladstone had been engaged in . aaking a note of some shipping re- t urns for his budget.

All aving been made ready, the sheriff ? ead the sentence of the court. Then j :e desired one of the turnkeys to keep g ount of the strokes. "One," said the j. arnkey, and the "cat" came whizzing j own across Bnrt's back, leaving the c rail of nine blood-red streaks from houlder to shoulder. The strokes foljwed in quick succession, and wero dministered with a biting sweep. At lie twelfth stroke the lash descended o bout two inches lower than the pre- v ediDg ones. "Strike up," remonstrafc- d d Burt, and not another word did he 1 tter until all was over. "Domino!" t aid he then.

What a queer Bight! An elphant Iragging a plow ! The elephant is put o many uses. If he cannot thread a leedle, he can pick one up from the [round with his trunk. His sense of ouch is very delicate. An elephant was once left to take care ?f a little boy baby. This he did with ponderful care and gentleness. If the >aby strayed off too far, the elephant rould stretch out his long trunk and >ring the little wanderer back. In the year 1863 an elephant was em>loyed at a station in India to pile up leavy logs, a work which these animals rill do with great neatness and speed. ?he superintendent suspected the keepr of stealing the rice given for the aniaal's food. The keeper, of course, lenied the charge; but the elephant, I ?ho was standing by, laid hold of a j arge wrapper which the man wore | round his waist, and tearing it open et out some quarts of rice which the all/MIT Via*} oKntrarl axrav Tin/tar thfl foldfi. So closely do elephants remember the aeaning of the signs which have been aught them that they will instantly bey the gentlest signal, such as the ifting np of the finger or the lightest ouch on their ears. Mr. Jesse, the keeper of an elephant! a London, was once giving him some ' iotatoes, when one fell on the floor just ieyond the sweep of the creature's runk. There waB a wall a few inches ebind the potato; and blowing strongs', the sagacious animal sent it so hard gainst the wall that the potato reboundd, and on the recoil came back near nough for the elephant to seize it. The elephant likes music, easily learns o mark the time and to move in step to he sound of drums. His smell is exuisite, and he likes perfumes of all 'inds, and above all fragrant flowers; he hooses them, picks them one by one, nd makes bouquets of them, and, after tlibhing the smell, carries them to his aouth and seems to taste them.?The Vureery. Catching Frogt. The Chinese have a curious way of ishing for frogs, which they?as well as aany other people?like to eat. They atcn them with their own children in his way: First procuring a young and ender frog, just getting out of his tad>ole days, and at the age when he is ery lively, they tie around his waist the nd of a fish-line, and bob him up and [own in the grass and among the rice, rhere the sedate old frogs delight to tide. One would suppose the grownip frogs would be pleased to Bee the 'oungones having a lively time, but so ar from that, no sooner does one catch ight of - the young sprawler than he ounces on him and swallows him, and wallows him whole?the monster! Jut he gets well paid, for he is intantly hauled up into the frog-fisher'B lasket, and his still alive mouthful aken away from him, to be caed again >n another old frog. Birth?, Marriages and Deaths. The statistics of the New York board f health show that during 1878 there rere 27,005 burial permits for city eaths issued, against 26,194 issued in 877. The largest number of deaths ook place in July, and the smallest in lay. There were 25,729 births reported uring the year, and 7,629 marriages. ?he number of coroners' certificates of eaths and still-births received was ,980, the greatest number being in aly. The deaths from contagious disabpr nnoibered 2.724. The citv haa een remarkably free from smallpox, >ut scarlet fever and diphtheria have irevailed. Twelve persons died during the year t the alleged age of 100 years and over. )f these, eight were women and four aen. Mary Merneane died at the adanced age of 106 years. Daring the first quarter seven males ; letween sixty-five and eighty years of j ge were married; the same number was I eported in the second quarter, and one aan at the ripe old age of eighty-eight ras married to a girl of twenty-three, n the third quarter eight males and one emalo between eixty-five and eighty ! ears of age were married. The largest number of marriages was ontracted by persons between twenty ud twenty-five years of age; persons rom twenty-five to thirty rank seoond of lie list. Quito a goodly number of ioys under twenty married, and 1,800 iris under that age. Married In the Rain. i A marriage which took place in Poca- j ontas county, Iowa, several weeks ago, ! mid surroundings that might be ex- j iected to dampen even the ardor of j oung love, has just been reported, and j 3 too good to be lost. The swain, a i tout young farmer of Pocahontas coun- | y, after the usnal course of smooth i parkiDg, had prevailed on the maiden ' reckled to name the day. She fixed an j arly one, and he obtained a license in j 'ocahontas county. The girl lived juBt | >ver the line in Calhoun county. The i svening set for the marriage was a rainy i ind dismal one, but the minister arrived \ it the bride's house to perform the cere- j nony. All the preparations were made, j vhen preliminary to the ceremony the j ninister asked to see the license. When j t was 6hown there was trouble, the min- I ster refusing to proceed unlesB they ' vent over into Pocahontas county. The 1 louse was only a few rods from the line, i rat it was as dark as Egypt, and raining j )y the bucketfuls without. However, j sverybody was anxious and nobody ' ifraid, and out they went. The pig-pen | vas over the lice and toward it the ! jarty steered.

Last j mmmer he was a member of the special I [udian commission, and was up in Ore- ! ijon with that party. They desired to visit the camp of the Nez Perces Indians, and had telegraphed ahead along the railroad for such transportation as would convey the whole party. The as- j sembling of teams collected quite a j irowd of people, who thronged the de- ! pot and gazed upon the celeb- j rities, without any particular idea of j what they meant to door who tbey were. Senator Grover is extremely dignified, ind seldom speaks unless spoken to; but is remarkable for his extreme politenesp. 5e was walking up ana aown toe platform when his eye happened to fall upra a little shock-headed, ragged gamin. He pauBed in his walk near the boy, and said: " My son, may I ask you how far it is to the camp of the Nez Perces ?" "Tee, sir," promptly answered the boy, and then came to a full stop. " How far is it?" asked the Senator. " Blamed if I know!" answered the tx>y, with perfect gravity. NEWS SUMMARY. |L? ----- t#t Eastern and Middle state* ? .

A tofa year ago Armstrong owed Hunter $7,030. and Col was pertliided to insure bis life for $26,000, pro and to make over the policies to his destroyer, sen Hunter itiduced a former apprentice, named con Graham, to commit the murder; but the ac- last complice became frightened after felling Arm- 73; strong with a hatchet, and Hunter then finish- Ma ea tne mooay worK.

A a!o| few days before the execution he tried to make du< away with himself by opening an artery in his inc leg with his finger nail, but was unsuccessful, ere Over $20,000 were spent in efforts to obtain his Te: release. He left a confession admitting his 8ta crime. The hoar of execution saw him bo lesi weak that be had to be carried to the scaffold. j The rope by which Hunter was suspended gave way bo much that it barely lifted him from the floor, whereupon the sheriff hoisted the culprit 1 into the air by means of another rope, and he J00 was hung only by a number of persons holdiDg to the rope during tho whole time in which he *\e was suspended. .The doctors said that his neck or was not broken," and that he died of strangulation, but without any outwart evidence of paiD* tha The net earnings of the Erie railroad during the first four mootbs of its reorganization ' were $1,919,932.

Madame Anderson has succeeded in walking 2,700 quarter miles in 2,700 consecutive quarter J hours, or in other words she walked a quarter N. of a mile every fifteen minntes until the end ba' of her tatk. Ubd6r these conditions she waa bic unable to get more than a few minutes' sleep < at a time, and often appeared on the track fast tbi aeleep. At first but little a- tention was paid to to the pedestrian, most people believing she pai would break down before the end of the walk ; n:e but when her extraordinary endurance became naa manifest the hall in which she was walking was P" visitod by crowds daily, many of the visitors, soi being ladies. At times duriDg the walk Madame \ Anderson appeared bo pbysicnlly prostrated th< that it seemed impossible for her to continae tai on the track ; bat she persisted to the end, r and the last quarter mile was walked in faster 'J time than any other and in presence of over r 2,000 psople, whose applanee was deafening. Ihe New Jersey legislature organized with tho niAnh'nn of William L. fiowell as Dresident i of the senate and John P.

Twenty-five wagons and 200 men and boys ^ began & tour of New York city, going from prj door to door and soliciting food and clothing v for the city's poor. James McDonnell and Charles Sharpe were ^r' hanged at Manch Chunk, Pa., for the mnrder 1 of George K. Smith, superintendent of a col- j? liery, in 18C3. Both asserted their innocence ^ of the crime. An extraordinary incident con- O"1 nected with the execution was the arrival of a dn reprieve from the governor, which came half a ] minate too late. The bolt that launched the pri two men into eternity had bartly been drawn, j and the sheriff was descending the gallows- ,je: steps when there was a lond ringing at the jail q0 door, and the next moment an officer appeared an with a telegram firm Governor Hartranft, an- ,ja nouncmg a reprieve until the following Monday. Consternation was depicted on the faces of all present, and relatives of Sh&rpe and McDonnell became intensely excited ; but it was too late to save the men.

Tears are due to human misery. As the heart is, so is love to the heart. Conversation is the ventilation of the heart. A man inay be a gteat scholar, and yet a great sinner. Age respects love, but, unlike youth, it respects little the signs of love. The measure of choosing well is whether a man likes what he has chosen. Hide not the truth when ye" know it, and clothe not the truth with falsehood. Oar greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we falL The wav to orain & Kood reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear. There is no man so great as not to hare some littleness more predominant than all his greatness. Every event that a man would master must be mounted on the run, and no man ever caught the reins of a thought, except as it galloped by him. There is no vice or folly that requires so much nicety and skill to manage as vanity; nor any which, by ill-management, makes so contemptible a figure. Restrain thy choler, hearken much and speak little; for the tongue is the instrument of the greatest good and the greatest evil that is done in the world. Brave heart, arise.! Be free from every chain, thongh it be glittering with gold 1 Be nobly courageous I Pollow the trne bride of thy life, even if her name be Sorrow. Let the shell perish, that the pearl may appear.
