The following waif, afloat on- the
"sea of reading," we .elip from an
exchange. We do not-know its
-pternity, but it contains "some
whelsome ~triiths -beautifully set
forth:
- Men seldom think of the greal
event of death until the shadow
falls across their own path, hiding
forever-from their eyes the trace
of the loved ones whose living
smiles were the sun-light of their
existence. Death is the great an
tagonist of life, and the- cold
tbought of the tomb is the skele
ton of all feasts. We do not want
-to go through the dark valley, al
though its passages may lead tc
paradise; and, with Charles Lamb
we do not want to lie down in the
muddy grave, -even with kings
and princesses for-our bed=fellows
But the fiat of natiure is inexo
rable. There is no appeal of re
lief from the great law which
dooms us to dust. We flourish
and we fade as the -leaves of th<
fbrests, and thelower that blooms
and withers in a day has not a
frailer hold upon life than the
mightest monarch that ever shook
the earth~with his footsteps. Gen
erations of men appear and vanish
as the grass, and the countless
multitude that throngs the world
to-day. will, to-morrow, disappeai
as the footsteps on the shore.
In the beautiful drama of Ion
the insect of immortality, so elo
quently uttered by the- death-de
voted Greek, finds a deep response
in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his young existence
as a sacrifice to fate. his beloved
Clemanthe asks if they shall noi
meet again, to which he replies:
"I have asked that dreadful ques
tion of the hills that look eternal
-of the clear streams that flow
forever-of the stars among whose
fields of azure .my raised spirit
hath walked in glory. All were
dumb. But while I gaze up on thy
living face, I feel that there is
something in the love that man
tles through its beauty that car
not wholly perish. We shall meet
again, Clemanthe."
THE DEAD CHILD.-The child is
dead. All night long we have
listened to its dying moans, and
just as the day dawned its clear
eyes closed in death, and its pure
spirit went back to the God that
gave it. It is ours no more on
earth; its voice is silent in our
household, and the powers of its
little feet make music around our
hearthstone no longer. Ahb! it is
hard to feel that our little darlin2
is gene from home and hearts for.
ever-gone to the grave, with its
hands folded on its icy bosom, and
its face covered up from the balmy
air and tlhe warm sunshine it loved

is the Lord's; be has taken it home
to live with Him. As the mother

God has taken our little darling
carried it to his His everlasting
arms up to His own home to live.
And it is our child still. Though
we cannot see its dear face now,
or listen to its playful prattle, it
is still our own. And when this
life is over, we will find the pre,
cious one aigain, and fold it to our
hearts forever, in that better and

"Wihere the beaudiful fades not away."
GIvINe TEE HELART -"Mother,'
said a little boy, who had only
numbered three summers, "what
does it mean to give your heart tc
God ?"
The mother put down her sow
ing, and looking at her boy, said:
"Charlie, do you love any body?'
With a look of surprise, the
child answered, "I love yu; I love
my father, my sister and Henry.'
"Then you give your heart to your
father, to Henry, .to your sister.
and to me; and you show thai
love -by doing all you can for us,
and obeying our commands."
The child's face looked brigh1

- Hanging about the front of the
Metropolitan every day, and some
times peering in the doorway, for
notice hps been served upon him
to keep out of the hotel, is a gray
haired, broken-down old man,
hobbling painfully along with a
cane, for he has the gout, besides
several kinds of rheumatism, who
has been as well known Washing
ington for thirty yeas past as the
most distinguished statesman in
the land. This is the famous
"Beau Hickman," or what there
is left of him. His eccentricities
have furnished columns of para
graphs for newspapers all over
the country, though to see him
now-one would naturally wonder
bow he ever came to get a nation
:al notoriety. He couldn't have
done it anywhere but in Washing
ton.
Take him anywhere else in the
world and he would simply be
considered a common nuisance,
and treated accordingly. He be
longs to some rare old Virginia
family (tradition says), and gained
the title of "Beau" some thirty
years ago, when he had money,

the Virginia springs and other
places of public resort. He boasts
ofhaving been on terms of easy fa
miliarity with Clay, Calhoun, Ben
ton and the rest, who figured at
the capital when the Beau was in
his prime, and no doubt they did
tolerate and patronize him. If
he had any wit in those days, or
was in.the least manner enter
taining, there is not the slightest
indication of it remaining. He
wears a seedy half-military cloak
over his shoulders all the time;
his hat is of a defunct style, but
neatly brushed always, and an
eye-glass dangles in front of him
from a ribbon. There are several
little points about him-.hat. show
the dilapidated dandy.
His custom for y.ears was to
collect a dollar a piece from all
Congressmen and those who had
secured Government positions in
Washington, on their first arrival
at the capital. He only asks for
a quarter now, and is ready to
take anything that is offered,
even a three-cent piece. He
mourns over the degenerated re
public-says there are no men of
brains at Washington any more.
He leans against a pillar of the
hotel and smiles scornfully on our
great American statesmen as they
pass, Eggleston, Strader and the
rest, and mutters words of gloom
and bitterness. Poor old Beau
Hickman ! He ought to be pen

BLOOMERS-THE WOMAN I N
PAYTAtoos. -A n um b er o f
"bloomers," calling themselves
the "National .Dress Reform and
Equal Rights Association," met in
Washington on Wednesday night
to discuss the great question of
pants and petticoats. The asso
ciation seemed to be composed of
two women in breeches, to wit:
Doctress Mary Walker, of Wash
ington, and D)octresa,Lydia Sayer
Hasbrouek, Syracuse, N. Y. The
audience was mostly composed of
foung scamps who came for amuse
mient, and w bo kept up the most
boisterous demonstrations during
the proceedings. .Doctress Wal
ker presided, and opened the
speaking with a stirring address,
which brought down the house,
and sent the boys into ecstacies.
Doctress Hasbrouck, who says
she is an editor, followed at con
siderable'length, concluding with
a regular attack upon President
Grant for his contempt of women
in breeches. She sai?' that she
~had come to Washington to be
chief of the modiste department,
which she inferred, from the Pres
ident's course, he intended to set
up. She thought she could regu
late the pantaloon business, and
the boys urged her on with cries of
"Go it, old gal, go it--and bully
for you," &c. She was particular
ly severe upon the President be
cause of his alleged refusal to see
Dr. Mary Walker until she wore
the usual costume of her sex. At
the conclusion Mrs, Dr. Walker
announced that Miss Hasbrouck
had her premises all wrong. Pres
ident Grant had never said it, but
Pesident Lincoln had remarked
that he was afraid to see a woman
who wore pants.

Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker in an
Awkward "Fix."
The recent accounts of the fail
ure of this lady to obtain an in
terview with General Grant be
cause she wore pantaloons, have
revived the following anecdote:
"While with the army of the
Potomac, in the summer of 1863,
Dr. Walker visited the head-quar
ters of Col. (afterwards General)
Samuel Carroll of the second army
corps. Failing in all her efforts
to obtain her regular commission
as surgeon in the army, and hav
ing only permission to remain
with the troops in the capacity of
nurse, the 'doctor' was frequently
obliged to accept the hospitality
of officers. On the occasion refer
red to. she plainly stated to Col.
Carroll her intention of tarrying
at his head-quarters a few days
for the laudable purpose of look
ing after the sick. Of course the
General consented and being as
gallant as he is brave, offered her
the sole use of his tent, which she
accepted. So far so good.' Early
on the morning after her Arrival,
a field officer of the 7th West Vir
ginia regiment, of Carroll' brigade
-a bluff, honest, brave, devil-may
care back-woodsman-ook a walk
over to brigade headquarters, and
noticing the flies of Carroll's tent
werestill tied, thoughtit wassome
what strange that his command
ing officer, generally an early ri
ser, should remain in bed at so
late an hour. 'I have it,' said be,
thinking a moment; and approach
ing the tent, he quietly untied the
canvass doors, winking at the
same time to several staff officers
who were near by, attempting to
control their risibilities. The face
of the sleeper was hidden by the
bed covering, and the 'officer,
quietly lifting at the (oot ,of the
couch, and encircling two warm
ankleawe = s _ we,
while he watched the head of the
bed intently to see if the sleeper
awoke, shouted at the top of his
lungs as he dragged the body
completely out of the bed to the
floor: 'Carroll, you lazy cuss,
get up here! It's 8 o'c-' The
rest of the sentence was lost in a
piercing scream, such as only a
female in distress can furnish at
short notice, and the jolly officer,
abashed and dumfounded, bound
ed from the tent like a stag struck
by a three-ounce bullet. The joke
was too good to keep, and the re
sult was that every soldier in the
second corps knew the story
about Col. - of the Seventh Vir
ginia pulling Dr. Mary Walker
out of bed."
Promising to Marry the Girl.
We heard rather a good story
on one ofour city ministers. During
last winter, a revival was in pro
gress in one of our coun try church
es niear the city. Among the reg
ular attendants on the meeting
was a beautiful and estimable, but
rather unsophisticated young lady.
whose friends were very anxious
to havs her unite with the church.
She seemed, however, reluctant
to do so, and the minister in ques
tion was requested "to talk to
her." This he did several times,
on one occassion, saying in a
jocular mnanner-"Miss M,
if you will join the church, I'll
marry you," meaning 1:e would
perform the ceremony. The girl
seemed pleased with the proposi
tion and in afew evenings after
walked up to the altar and united
with the church.
Several weeks after this the min
ister preached at the chr'rch, and
after church met the young lady.
"Brother ." said she, "you
know you promised to marry me if
I'd join the church. Are you to do
so ? I don't want to wait any
longer." The minister saw his
dilemma, and attempted to ex
plain :-"I meant I would perform
the ceremony." he said, "tha't all.
I can't marry you myself, for I am
already married, and love my
wife too much to desire to swap
her off for another.
The young . lady beca'me in
dignant, declared that she'd leave
the church and that she "never
did have much faith in these
town preachei-s." Our minis
terial friend declares that he
will never again use any other
than 'plain scriptural arguments
to induce a young lady to join the
church.-Albany Commercial.

The Tax Bill.
Somebody proposes the follow
ing new amendments to the tax
bill :
For kissing a pretty girl, one
dollar.
For kissing a homely one, two
dollars-the extra amount being
.dded probably for the man's
Folly.
For ladies kissing one another,
two dollars. The tax is placed at
this rate in order to break up the
custom altogether-it being re
garded by our M. C.'s, as a piece
Df inexcusable absurdity.
For every flirtation, ten cents.
Every young man who has more
than one girl, is taxed five dol
lars.
For courting in the kitchen,
twenty-five cents.
Courting in the parlor, one dol
lar.
Courting in a romantic place,
five dollars and fifty cents there
after.
Seeing a lady home from church,
twenty-five cents.
Going from church without ac
companying a lady, five dollars.
Seeing a lady home from the
Mine Society, five cents-the pro
ceeds to be devoted to the relief of
disabled army chaplains.
For ladies who paint, fifty
cents.
For wearing a low-necked dress,
one dollar.
For each curl on a lady's head
above ten, five cents.
For any unfair device for en
trapping young men into matri
mony, five dollars.
For wearing hoops larger than
eight feet in circumference, eight
cents for each hoop. -
Old bachelors over thirty, are
taxed ten dollars, and baniebed to
Utah.
each pretty l~dis to'We' taxe
from twenty.five cents to twenty
five dollars ; she is to fix the esti
mate of her own beauty. It is
thought a very large amount is to
be realized from this provision.
Each boy baby, fifty cents.
Each girl baby, ten cents.
Families having more t h a n
eight babies are not to be taxed ;
and for twins a premium of forty
dollars will be paid out of the
funds accruing from tax on old
bachelors.
Each Sunday loaferon the street
corners or about church doors to
be taxed his value, which i. about
two cents.
UNCLE BILLY'S SPEECH.-When
I was a drunkard, I could never
get my barn more than half full.
The First year after I signed the
pledge, I filled my barn and had
two stacks ; this y-ear I filled my
barn, and have four stacks. When
was a drunkard, I only owned
one poor old cow, and I think she
was ashamed of me, for she was
red in the face; now I own five
good cows, and -I own three as
good horses as ever looked through
a collar. When I was a drunkard,
1 trudged from place to place on
foot ; nowv I can ride in a cariageof
my own. When I was a drunk
are, I was three hundred dollars
in debt ; since I signed the total
abstinence pledge, I have paid
that debt, and itave purchased
to hundred acres of wild land,
and I have the deeds in my pos
session ; two of my sons, whbo are
teetotalers, are living on that lot.
When I was a drunkard, I used
to swear; I have ceased to be pro
fane. The last years of my drunken
ness my doctor's bill amounted
to thirty dollars: since I signed
the pledge, I have not been called
upon to expend a red cent for
medicine. I am not a poet, but I
have put my farewell to rum in
to verse:
Farewell, drunks, so nigh and handy ;
Farewell, ru.n and gin anid brandy;
Farewell, empty pots and kettles;
Farewell, cupboards without "vittals ;"
Farewell, rooms free to all weathers ;
Farewell, beds which have no fe.athers;
Farewell, floors that need a swab.file;
Farewell, vards that have no wood-pile ;
Farewell, inded vests and Ibreeches ;
Farewell, coats more holes than stitches;
Farewell, hats that have no rims on;
Farewell, faces red as crimson ;
Farewell, tubs that have no bacon;
Farewell, ways that I've forsaken;

"The handkerchief, the hand

Moor, and killed his loving Desde
mona because she failed to re

Fans and flowers have each
their language, and why not hand
kerchiefs? No reason having
been discovered, it has transpired
that handkerchief flirtations are

not intend that they shall enjoy
the monopoly any longer, and ac

TYING A KNoT.-Ayoung fellow
was taking a slay ride with a
pretty girl, when he met a Metho
dist Minister. who was somewhat
celebrated for tying matrimonial
knots on short notice. He stop
ped him and asked hurriedly:
"Can you tie a knot for me?"
"Yes," said Brother B., "I guess
so; when do you want it done?"
"Well, right away," was the re
ply ; "is it lawful, though, here in
the highway ?"
"Oh. yes, this is as good a place
as any-safe as in the church it
self."
"Well, then, I want a knot tied
in my horse's tail to keep it out of
the "snow!" shouted the wicked
wag as he drove rapidly away,
fearing lest the minister in his
wrath should faill from grace.
That minister, no doubt, solilo
quized thus: "Now, as I am a
minister of the Gospel,.of course I
don't 'cuss,' but if I were a cussin'
man, and had that d-d rascal by
the throat. I'd teaeh him that I
know how to do other things be
sides tie knots."
THAT MousTACIIE.-A lady friend
requests the publication of the foi
lowing:
Oh, barber, spare that young

trash, must never venture there.
At last the bud has bursted out,

should thy murderous blade sweep

more: then, barber, oh desist!

lip was wont so oft to press that
budding mouth; its sweet to sip-j

One day Heyry Clay, who had
arrived in Frederick, Maryland,
by stage coach from Wheeling,
met Reverdy Johnson in - the
street.
"Reverdy," be said, "I have
just had an extraordinary acquain
tance back here at Cumberland.
A man got half my seat in the
stage coach, a little, knotty, freck
led fellow, and on the next seat
were a man and his wife, on tite
third seat seat a couple of iig
men.
"V'e had no sooner started and
got clear of Cumberland than one
of the big men on the forward
seat lit a cigar. He puffed and
puffed till in a little while tbe
stage coach was full of strong
fumes and the woman grew very
sick. She asked her husband to
raise the window, and still unable
to bear the smoke told him she
must lean upon his lap.
'-The husband leaned over and
said to the big man:
'My wife is sick. Please do
not smoke by her side.'
"The big man smoked like a
blast chimney and paid no heed
whatever. The woman grew
fainter and coughed. My blood
was boiling, but I knew the man
could double me up and throw me
out' of the window.
"Suddenly the little being at
my side leaned forward, pulled a
long bowie knife out of his coat
collar, and said to the smoking
giant:
"Yes you damned son-of-a-pussy
cat on the female side! I ata
James Bowie. Throw away that
cigar, or I'll split you -into half
apples !"
"The man," concluded Mr. Clay,
"dropped the cigar like an auto
maton, and we had not a word
spoken for 30 minutes."
THE RESULT OF SAVInG A LADY'S
LIFE.-During the past few weeks
a man named Samuel Temple, re
siding at Yardley, Bucks County,
Pa., has been shot at on three
different occasione, but in each
case miraculously escaped injury.
The cause of these unpleasant pro
ceedings has just transpired. A
few moPnings since, says the Phil
adelphia Star, Mr. John Bitting,
of Newton, found a letter under
his door addressed to Temple. It
was dated New York, March 20,
and signed "Viola," in a neat hand.
The writer stated that two years
ago she was riding near Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, when she was
thrown from . the saddle and
Tem ple came to her rescue. She
fell in love with him agonce, and
afterward wrote him- two letters
telling him so. As he paid noat
tention to them, she resolved that
no other woman should wed him,
and employed four Spanish assas
sins at $1,000 apiece to kill him.
She afterward concluded to make
no more attempts at his life,, but
she had not an opportunity to got
wordto- her hired accomplices be
fore the last attempt was made.
She says she is wealthy, and highly
educated ; that she is now going to

A MOUSE JU.MPs DowN A JUDGE's
THaoA.-While Judge Archer, of
Marshall, Ind., was removing Somo
boxes from a shelf one day last
week, a mouse jumnped ott one of
them and into the mouth of the
Judge, and started directly down
his throat. The Judge, unlike
John Chinaman, did not relish the
taste, and after* several hawk-,
succeeded, despite the efforts os
the mouse, in getting him out of
his throat into his mouth, but
was rather slow in getting hold of
the "little devil," and he made
another attempt but was again
unsuccessful. Whether the nmonse
was trying to commit suicide, or
whether he -wanted merely to
"reive, the inner-man," we have
no way ofaseertaining, but we are
assured that he was successful in
scaring thbe Judge considerably.
Let no man be too proud to
work. Let no man be too proud
of a bard fist or a sun-burnt coun
tenance. Let him be ashamed
only of ignorance and sloth.. Let
no man be ashamed of poverty.
Let him be ashamed of dishonesty
and idleness.
The following sentiment is at
tributed to Napoleon Bonaparte,
"A handsome woman pleases the
eye, but a good woman pleases the
heart.. The one is a jewel-4he
