[TuANSLATKD KttOM TUB CiCUMAH.J
You have a wife in Ualena,
In Long It ranch a house on the shore,
Anil lots iu New York and St. Louis,
Ulysses, what do you wish uiore ?
Victoria was pleased with your visit,
Aud arranged a reception iu Windsor ;
They made you a Doctor iu Oxford,
Ulysses, what do you wish more?
Orcvy in France called you "Mon chcr,"
Of oourse you knew not what for,
They gave you suppers aud dinners,
Ulysses, what do you wish more !
Old William, the hero and Cnsar,
lias shown you bis army in store,
And Dismark gave you a prctxel,
Ulysses, what do you wish more ?
And the sons of the free Columbia,
From the Oulf to the Atlantic shore,
They honored you highly and greatly,
Ulysses, what do you wish more?
They made you rich presonts,
Filled your pockets with diamonds nnd ore:
Yours was a ring?of whiskey,
Ulysses, what ?lo you wish more ?
Yours were the highest honors,
The "General of the Army" before,
You twice lived in the White House,
Ulysses, what do you wish more?
STRIKES.
Strikes arc quite proper, only strike right;
Strike to some purpose, but not for a fight;
Strike for your manhood, for honor aud fame ;
Strike right and left, till you win a good name;
Strike for your freedom, from all that is vile ;
Strike off companions who often beguile ;
Strike with the hammer, the sledge and the axe;
Strike off bad habits with burdensome tax ;
Strike out unaided, depend on no othor ;
Strike without gloves and your foolishness
smother;
Strike ofT the fetters of fashion and pride;
Strike where 'tis best, but let wisdom decide ;
Strike a good blow while the iron is hot;
Strike, keep striking, till you hit the riglitspot. ,

[concluded from i.ast week.] ]
Cyras had scarcely comprehended the 1
extent of this misfortune, when there was 1
rx knock at tho door, and there entered '
IleiskUl, 8eyuiour, and little Mylcs. They
had just got in from a walk iu the country ; 1
had a capital dinner about four o'clock, and 1
were now here to go to work, they said, j
after an afternoon of play. Iu order to
prove this assertion, thoy each lighted a j
pipe, and seated themselves around the <
room with their feet upon the highest arti- <
cle of furniture that they could reach.
"What is the matter with Cy ?" said
littlo Mylcs. "What makes him so quiet ?
and why is he sitting here with the room ?
all full of the shades of evening, like a miserable
tomb ?" <
Cyrus made some joking answer, and ris- i
ing, lighted tho gas. After considerable 1
talk aud general chafling, Ilciskill proposed
that the big table be cleared and that they
should go to work.
"You're professor to night, Seymour, you i
know, and try not to ask any questions you
can't answer yourself." 1
"Then let him stick to the spinal column," 1
said littlo Mylcs. "I don't want him ask- I
ing me to articulate a hcmcrus and a fibula 1
again." i
"Oh, you needn't bothor about who'a to '
be demonstrator !" said Cyrus. "We can't
do any auatomy to-uight. The skeleton's
gone!"
In order that the foregoing conversation '
may be understood, it may be well to state
that these young men had clubbed together 1
to buy an articulated skeleton,, upon which
mcy ruDDcu up tncir anatomical knowledge,
each of the party acting in turn for an even- I
ing as "professor," and asking questions of 1
the others. This skeleton was kept in a I
long yellow packing-trunk, and tho hackuian
had taken it off with Miss Birch to
the hotel. There was uo reasou why he
should not have taken it, for it was near
the door, and was, indeed, the only trunk
visible upon first entering. Cyrus was so
full of Miss Birch and tho bothersome
landlady, that lie did not notico the mistake.
Of course, with three such very eager
and amazed inquirers as to the whereabouts
of their common property, there was nothing
to be done but to tell, under promise
of strict secrecy, the whole story. It was
received with unbounded applause, and the
joke was considered far more enjoyable
than any studyiug of anatomy could possibly
prove. When tho laughter had subsided,
Ileiskill asked Cyrus what he intended
to do.
TMl l.otrn trs crn, In I

morning and explain that the wrong trunk I
was taken (of course I shan't tell her what j
is in it), and then I'll have to get that Bill <
again to drive her and it to the Baltimore i
depot, and instead of leaving the trunk he
must bring it back here. I hate the plan,
for it not only gives trouble, but makes a i
lot of trickery about the young lady that I i
don't like. And I was going to send down
my books so nicely ! Confound that .
man!" J
'Do you think she'll open it in her room V 1
said little Mylcs :
'Of course not, you blockhead,' snapped
Cyrus. 'Sho hasn't the key, and besides, t
do you suppose she would open my trunk if i
sho had ?'
The most astonishing surmises now en- 1
sued as to what would happen if so and so
should be so and so, and when no possible i
combination of unfortunato circumstances 1
couhl bo added to what had been already
laughed over, they descended to puns.? t
Some good and some very bad ones were I
made, and poor little Myles, after cudgeling t
his brains for the whole period of punning <
time; finished the performance by wishing l
to goodness that the man had been named i
'Cohen,' when ho was nlivo, so that some- i
thing might be said about a 'trunentcd cono.' i
Nothing was bad enough to follow this, and I
bo they got out tho cards.
The next morning Cyrus dressed himself <
in his best, and actually won., to his washer- I
woman's house to get,n while vest,* if by
ehanoe it was done. It was about half pnst i
ten when ho reached tho hotel, and the
clerk told him that Miss Birch had gone.
'Clone !' oried Cyrus. 'Where could sho
f have gone ho soon r'
The clerk looked very hard at him, and
roplicd, 'How do I know where sho went V
However, after Cyrus had explained how
ho had intended oallingon this young lady
heforo sho left for Baltimore, thus proving
that ho was properly aware of her destination,
the olerk informed him that sho had
left, in company with an elderly gcntlouiau,
\
EL*..?- -J .,; ? ?
in time to catch the ten o'clock train. Cyrus
went homo in a state of complete bewilderment.
When he reached his room lie found
there a note?a noto from Fanuy, the lirst
he had ever received :
'Dkar Mr. Durham:?The telegram
reached uncle last night, aud instead of
sending me tho money he came himself,
early this morniug. 1 wanted to wait until
you called and thank you for your kindness
aud your truuk, (which I will take good
care of); but unole thought I had better
tako the ten o'clock train, bcoauso that was
the only train, until nfternoon, which connected
with tho cars for Martinville, and he
thought the family would be worried if I
didn't get home uutil after uiy trunks arrived
by express. He says ho will leave
this aud stop aud thank you himself.
Yours truly, F. B.'
On inquiry, Cyrus found that tho note
had been left by a gentleman just before he
came in, who asked for hiui, but couldn't
wait.
Now, what was to bo done ? Nothing.
Cyrus thought, but to write to his father,
tell him the story, and get him to send over
a- I** !?? -%
to mr. uircn s ior tlic truuk, and return it
to Philadelphia by exp.ess. This course
having been concluded upon, Cyrus wrote
aud mailed the lettor to his father.
The rest of the day would probably have
bccu spent by Cyrus iu the enjoyment of
Fanny's letter aud his recollections of her
visit, had not his friends called upon him
to know if he had got back old "Cohen'
(for so they had baptized the 'truncated'
cone, since liltlo Myles' pun.) When they
heard the rest of tho story they were wild
with delight, nnd the osseous jokes that
were made were worthy of the inmates of a
mad-house.
'It's such a mean old trunk,' said little
Myles. 'Nothing but a thin packing-oox
my way, nnd I don't believe I locked it last
sight. I'll bet any mau ten dollars that
>ld Cohen's out before this time.'
They'll open it on the cars when they
icnr it rattle,' said Seymour. 'You know
people can only take wearing apparel, and a
ikoleton is not wearing apparel?at least
:hat one is not wearing any.'
'If they thiuk it's freight, and take c out,
it will result in fright,' suggested Myles;
ind then, as usual, the uproar stopped the
iokiog.
The next morning about niuo o'clock,
just as Cyrus had finished his breakfast,
^got on credit from the grocery where he
dealt), he received a telegram. It was
from Mr. Birch, and contained these
words:
You ore wanted here. Come on immediately.'
Cyrus clutched his hair, stamped his foot,
clapped on his hat, locked his door, rushed
rouud to Ilciskill's, forced from him four
dollars aim some seventy eents?all he had
?and reached the Baltimore depot in time
for the ten o'clock train. What his feelings,
his fears, or his hopes were during the journey,
is not to bo put on paper. At two
o'clock he had reached Baltimore. By
half past he was on his way in the Martiuville
train to his destination. Beaching
the village, he had no money or desire to
birc a carriage, and so started out to walk
is rapidly as possible the two miles and a
half that lay ho.twoo.n him and Mr. Birch's
house.
Arriving there hot and flustered, he
walked through the open door, and hearing
voices in the dining-room, walked quickly
in, and found a coroner's jury sitting upon
the remains of the unfortuuatc Cohen !
We will now rclutc the circumstances
which led to this inquest. The trunk had
beeu taken to the hotel in safety, and Fanny,
with her borrowed baggage near the foot of
bcr Led, had slept the sweet sleep of an
nnoccut maiden, without being troubled by
he ghost of her quiet room-uiatc. Everything
had gone on admirably, and she arrived
at Martinvillc in good season, where
bcr father was waiting for her in a buggy.
He was surprised that sho had brought
mother trunk, for her baggage had arrived
jarly that morning; but sho explained the
matter, much to his merriment aud he oriercd
the station master (who was also express
agent and several other things), to
send the trunk after them in a wagon. This
tho man promised to do; but having taken
two truuks up there that uioruing, and expecting
no more jobs for that day, his wagon
was undergoing some rcpiijrs at the blacksmith's
shop, and so he could not promise
to send it much before nightfall. However,
in an hour or two, along came Silas Hoopes,
a peripatetic green grocer and general vendor,
who, for half the ordinary fee, offered
to take the trunk to Mr. Birch's. He was
going that way, and was always glad of au
excuso to stop anywhere on his route, even
if it was not at the house of a customer.
On the road Silas examined the truuk.
'Well, I reckon/ said lie, 'I never saw
such a common old trunk go to the Birches'
afore this day. Shouldn't wonder if Miss
Fanny'd been a buying c'rosities, up to
Fhiladclphy. It's light, .too. Yes, that's
io ; I thought it rattled when I put it in ;
[ don't doubt it'sshclls, or a sewing machiue.
It ain't looked neither?only strapped.?
rhey might as well 'a locked it, for hero's
i hasp and all. I don't expect it's much,
inyhow, or it 'ud 'a been locked.'

[olio wed.
'(>' course, there's no harm just looking
n, when it aiu't locked nor nuthiu'. Everybody
elso has looked, I'll bet.'
Just a little ahead was a turn in the road,
ind a large tree at the corner with a nice
lit of smooth grass under it. It was just
he place for Silas' horse to rest and cool
iff a little; and so tho old man drew up
here. Tlicu he whistled a little aud looked
ibout him carelessly. Then ho stood up
ind looked around carefully. Then he
unstrapped the trunk. Then he whistled a
lew bars more, and raised tho lid.
'v .1 . l_ .f 1... ,L!.L 1 1
viii ino ouicr siuc ui u prenjr iuiuk nuu^e
of cedar trccH and blackberry bushes, was
Squire Curtis with liis gun. lie had been
watching for a shot, but when ho saw Silas
step and stand up to view the oountry, he
watched Silas. Ho hud long suspected
the old chap, and what was he going to do
now '( 'Oh, hoi open a trunk, eh I and
not his cither, or he'd wait till he'd got
home !'
So, softly through the hedge came Squiro
Curtis, and the instant Silas opened the
trunk tho Squire had him by tho collar.
The yell wich Silas gavo .vhon Mr. Cohen
languidly stuck up his two attenuated legs,
which had been lightly doubled up in tho
trunk, was only equaled by the shout from
> *=
S quire Curtis. Tho horse started; Silas
fell backward out of the wagon ; tho Squire I
stood like a man of marblo ; and away went
the.wagon, with Cohen's legs dangling care- <
lessly over tho cud of tho trank.
'Whoso is that r said the Squire, when i
his voico came to him. ;
'Mr-r?Birch's,' chatterod poor old (
Silas.
'That's a lie,' said tho Sqniro. "Ho is I
not dead, 1 know. What havo you been i
doing ?' *- I
Silas then explained that he knew noth- I
ing, but that the trunk was to go to Mr.
Birch's; and who tho 'corps' was, bless'bis <
bouI and body, he knew nothing about it,
but it might go to?any place, for all he t
would touch it; and upon this ho was for t
cutting across the Oelds to his home. But
the Squiro seised him, and forced him to t
hurry ou after tho horse and wagon. They 4
come up with it justas it reached Mr. Birch's '
gate; and as Silas would not go near the {
wagon, the Squiro had to seize the horse's t
head and turned him into the yard.
It is useless to endeavor to describe the t
sccno which took place in the happy family |
on tho portico, upon tho advent of Mr. t
Cohen. Shrieks, fainting fits, shouts to c
tako it away, and a general scone of horror
and confusion which had ucvcr been known
in that part of tho country, was succeeded
by the oxodus, ou foot, or in souio one's
arms, of all tho women, aud a council of 1
the moo. Silas told his story, uot omitting j
in his fright his siu of curiosity. Ml*. Birch, t
who went up stairs to quostion Fanny, only v
discovered that she kuew nothing, nod that i
it must have got changed on the cars; aud I
'Oh ! please cover meution it again ! Oh, i
dear ! Oh, dear !' t
It was finally concluded to put the re- r
mains of ihe 'murdered man' in the stable r
for the night; and the squire, who was h
the coroner for the county, declared his j
intention of summouing a jury in the morning.
That night, however, Mr. Birch, who
thought that Mr. Durham might be able to v
explain this (though how he knew uot), n
scut the telegram. r
When Cyrus appeard beforo the jury, 8
told the history of the skeleton, showed how
all its joints and soparato and individual y
bones were neatly joined and articulated a
by means of wires, and pulled from his S
pocket 110 bill and receipt of the skillful
artificer who had prepared the specimen,
tho jury fouud a verdict 'Died of souie cause J
unknown.' *
Cyrus then repacked Mr. Cohen, and ?
sent him by one of Mr. Birch's men to the
station to nwait orders; taking care this (
time to lock the truuk. <3
Mr. Durham did not go over to his fath- 1
er'fa house right away, but stayed to supper. c
Fanny was still very nervous, and he walked. )
out into the garden with her to explain it
all fully ; and he explained it to such an *
extent that she agreed, before the conversa- n
tion closed, that when sho traveled in the
future, it should be with him, aud they both 1

books, he turned bis steps onco uioro tow- i

"II jIIo, is that you again?" said Peter. \
"What do you wisli <
"Letthoso persons again como forth," i
replied the editor, and Peter this time made I
thcui all pass through the gate and stand
outside.
They came as before aud uttcrod the 1
same cries as before. ^
"Why didn't you notice that big egg I 1
gave you ?" yelled the first. 1
"It was rotten," replied the editor.
"Why didn't you write up my soda foun- '
tain ?" cried the druggist.^ 1
"You had your tickets printed at the '
other office," calmly replied tho local ainn. ^
"Why did you write aboutold Tonilinsou's 1
hens and never speak of my new gate ?" 1
shouted the third.
"Old Tomlinson paid for his advertising '
aud you didn't. Here's the bill, said the (
editor. '
"Why did you spell my uatuo wrong in 1
the programme?" groaned the local tal- *
ent. *
"Take a look at this manuscript of yours 1
and see for yourself," said the jditor with a '
grim suiilo 1
The rest of tho comDanv veiled their 1
complaints in unison,'and tho editor calmly
sorted out a series of bills lor unpaid subscriptions,
and presented each with one ;
and it was so, that when they had received
them, they all tore their hair and rushed
violently down a steep place into the sea,
and St. Peter, taking the editor calmly by
the hand, led him within the gate and
said:
"Come, friend ; these chaps managed to
slip through hero in spite of us, but, thanks
to the press, we now know what sort of follows
they arc. Come in and stay ; wo need
a few such men as you in here."
It is tho fashion in Russia that whenever
two people meet ou Easter day they ?iss
each other on tho mouth, and while ono
says "Christ is risen !' the other replies,
'He is risen, indeed.' Now it seems that
tho Emperor Nicholas had so arranged it
that the sentry placed at the palace gate
should be an Israelite and a very pronounced
ono. Early in the morning Nicholas botoo/i;
himself to tho gate, and giving the soldier
the Easter kiss said :
Brother, Christ is rison !'
The soldier's bronze faco flushed, bur
bringing his musket at the salulo, he replied
resolutely :
'No, father ho is not!'
Upon this tho Emperor pretendod to get
into a furious passion, nnd in a loud voice
ho repeated, 'Christ is risen !' The soldier
trembled ; he saw the knout lust dung'ing
before his eyes, but tho love of his faith
was stronger than his foar of punishment,
and bringing his inuskct-scock down with 1
a crush, he cried :
'No, ho is not 1'
Tho Ciar respected the man's ndhercnco
to a credo, rewarded t ic soldier and left,
laughing heartily over the adventure.
Saturday two men were found hanging to
a troo near the lino of Denton County,Toxas.
They are supposed to have been horse

"I think, parson, that it refers to some

many of tho satirical aspersions cast upon Jn

generally imagined. Is a young woman NOW
remarkably neat in the person, she will certainly
bo an old maid. Is she perfectly
reserved toward the other sex, she has all time,

frugal in her expensos and exact in her do- wh*T

the appellation of an old maid. In short, New
