We quote from the Chicago Tribune the following corrected reports of speeches made by Governor Woodford of New York during the recent rc-unions at the great reception to General Grant at Chicago. . The first was at a meeting of the veterans at McVicker‘s Theatre. General Grant, General Logan, Governor Oglesby and Mr. Storrs had spoken, when Governor Woodford, who was among the guests seated on the stage,was recognized by the audience and loudly called for. He was introduced as follows : The Chairman—We have with us a distin- guished citizen from New.York, who first occupied Charleston after it had fallen into our liaudsé—thc Hon. Stewart L. Woodford. [Applause] . Mr. Woodford came forward,rcmoving his kid gloves as he did so, and electrified his audience by the following speech. A-most accomplished orator, he made all the points tell, accomplishing in the brief space he eon- sumed what others might have harrangucd for hours without effecting : AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. . You greet me so generously‘that I shall make a very generous response. I shall not bore you for five minutes. [Laughton] The hour is late, and it is almost dinner— time. They used to call our'old Army of the Po- tomac the “kid glove army.” [Laughton] I will get rid of these kid gloves as quickly as possible. [Laughter] Friends, I thank you very heartily for this kind welcome. I thought la‘st night., as I have again thought this morning, that I got the inspira— tion of this gathering and the meaning of its influence on the country in the words of Grant, uttered last night and again this morning. They were these: “We wel— come,” said he,—I give, if not the words the spirit,—“We welcome the men of the South to 'come and dwell among us where they are to make their citizenship and their. own religious opinions, and we ask no more for ourselves than we give to them. " [Great applause] The thought that burns in my heart, and that flashes in your eye to—day, is this :, By the love we hear our dead; by the sincerity of the reconciliation we have tried to make with our late foemen, we must and will have for every comrade of the loyal army, for every black man raised to citizenship, we must and will have in all the land all that we give to the men of the South. [Ringing cheers] Last summer it was my fortune to journey in lands beyond the sea, and, wherever I went, there kissed the breeze no flag more beautiful than yours and mine. There look- ed to the stars of heaven no eyes more bright than the answering stars that flashed from the azure of our flag. [Applause] And where every American citizen goes he is protected by that flag, his land is honored and her praise is sung. Since my return it has been my duty to go intoone of the State in the South, where cit- izenship has been ignored. There I met [one country at least 150 white men, mostof whom had served in the Confederate army, and who- had their own political convictions, yet not one of them has for three years dared to cast a vote until this present month. I bring no politics to such an hour as this. But in memory of all that the battle cost us, in thought of the great purpose that swells in loyal hearts to—day, in dreams of that f uturc that kindles before us. I charge .you, soldiers, whether you be Democrat or Republican, by the memory of your dead, and by hope of the future, to see to it that American citizenship protects an Amer- ican ballot all over this Republic. [Checrs.] Mr. Woodford then retired. But the ap- plause which greeted this preoration wap so great and long continued, that he was com- pelled to return to the front of the stage and how his acknowledgement, before the great audience would allow the proceedings of the meeting to be resumed. Governor Woodford’s second talk at Chi- cago was at the now famous banquet of the Army of the Tennessee, in response to the toast of Tun Anus or THE Porouao. He spoke as follows: Mn. PRESIDENT axn Commons or THE ONE ARMY or THE UNION' (Cheersj All great armies, like strong en, have char- acters peculiarly their own. Character is a growth, from traits inherited at birth; it is inspired by will; it is ripened by experi-- ence. ’ Your Army of the Tennessee was born of the necessity to hold the Mississippi as your great water highway to the sea. Our Army of the Potomac sprang from the necessity of holding the Capital and guarding the heirlooms and the heritage of the Nation. And so, with great adventures of daring, with mighty marches, with great combinay tions of will and force, you swept ‘over thousands of miles,until you madethe Missis- sippi the imperial pathway of the Nation’s progress in the future. [Checrs.] And so, with weary watching, 'with pain- fulness of discipline, we guarded the halls where gathered the ConscriptFathers of the Republic, and_wc kept from unhallowed touch the ashes that sleep at Mount Vernon. [Tremendous cheers] . Yours was the inspiration of the Nation’s future. Ours was the inspiration of the. Nation‘spast. [Applause] Yet, in common source both had their rise‘ On the sunset slopes of the Allegheny Hills sprang into light and kissed the sun that stream that, by many windings, at last emptied into the Gulf. On the sunrise slope of the same Allegheny hills was born the river whose deathless name our army bore. [Checrs.] So from the same mountain heights of loyalty to liberty and law,~ your army and ours had their rise. [Checrs.] By many miles the waters of the Tennes- see empty to the Gulf. By shorter course the waters of the Potomac empty to the Atlantic. But, with intermingliug tides, Gulf and Atlantic are one, washing the shores of the ocean bound Republic. [Ap- plause.] And so your effort and ours alike flowed into the one great deep of the Nation’s unity and the Nation’s powor. [Applause] We are one—one by deathless memories of the past—one by the golden deeds of the present—one by the rainbow hopes of the future. [Applause] In your heart, the army of the West, beats the same blood as in ours, the army of the East. In the fair faces that fringe these crowded aisles there are the same sweet beautiful and pure devotion that gave fra- grance to the Mayflower on the old Mas— sachusetts coast, [Applause and |cries of “Good!”] - Some of you are only transplants from the Eastern States, with larger growth per— chauce, on _the broad prairies than you might have had at home [laughter and ap- plausc], but all with loving hearts turn back to where old father and mother are watching, or to where the ashes of your dead and mine are sleeping in New England church. yards, and by the requiem of the Atlantic wave. [Applausc, cheers and waving of handkerchicfs] God bless your great and growing West. [Cries of “Gopd.”] God bless my own dear ancestral New England. [Cries of “Amen l” and cheers] God’s richest blessing be upon ' that Nation that stands buttressed by Plyr‘ mouth Rock, and by the' Golden Gate. the arch of whose rainbow promise spans a con- tinent. God bless the free Nation of the future. [Applause] Pardon one thought and I have done. [Cries of “Go on," and “We will stay all night.”] We took more marches but never so long as you [laughter and cheers,] and you have learned the lesson of the Potomac Army, and that was undying patience. [Great applause] , As thus I stand I comprehend that journ- ey around the world which ends in Illinois, as never have I understood its meaning be- fore. Roman eagles flew and the Roman Imper- or went no‘further that the flash of his cagel’s pinion. France fought for glory, but the Emperor of France went no further than the pyramids, that tells the story of his army’s valor, or the cold snows of Russia that froze the valor of that army into the stillness of death. English valor has gone where English commerce made; it profitable that it should go. [Laughton] On the fields of Palestine the misguided soldiers of Peter the Hermit died, and on the plains of Bulgaria, Russia fought fora ci'ecd that was only a pretext for the rapine of the sword. But when our War had closed, far as had. gone the story of this struggle that the Gov- ernment by the people for the people should not perish—for as had gone that story. the meaning of our story was read and known of all men. Kings knew it, and the lowly knew it; they knew that the unity of this Republic meant eventually the rule of the common people in all the girdle around the earth. [Checrs.] . _ And so, when your first commander and my last (applause and: :cries of “good" “good,”]- went withoiit panoply of power, the simple American Citizen, the world bent to do homage to Ambrican citibenship. [Ap- plausc.[ Very grateful are we all that the world bent to him who, by our own free choice, we had twice named First Citizen of the Republic. (Cries of “Thank God," “good,” “good,” and cheers and applause which last: ed for fully five miuetes.) ' A real bear fight in the Adirondacks, “and no mistake,” is described in a letter from In- dianfliver to The Saratogz‘cm. It occurred about six miles from that place at a shanty, which is owned by a number of gentlemen who visit that section about twice a year for the purpose of hunting and fishing. The party consisted of Mr. Parker, of New York, Mr. Pulver, of Luzerne; two gentlemen from Conklingvile; and :1 Cedar River guide named Bonnie. Returning from their day’s hunt, the two Conklingvllle hun- ters went back with a stretcher for the purpose of fetching a deer that had been shot. Bonnie started from the shanty to get apail of water, some little distance away. Parker, who is in poor health and Pulver were left in charge of the cabin, and the lat- ter was engaged in making a hot sling for his invalid friend. All at once Pulver heard his friend give a fearful scream, and upon looking up was paralyzed with fear, for there on his hind legs was a huge black bear growling and snarling in the most savage manner. The bear advanced toward Pulver as though to take him in its embrace. Pul- ver, acting upon the impulse of the moment dashed the now boiling water full in the animal’s face, at the same time endeavoring to make his escape to the loft overhead. He had barely time 'to reach the top round of the short ladder when the now exaspera— ted bear caught him by his leg and held him as in a vice, lacerating his limb. Parker nearly frightened to death, caught the bear by its short tail, and prevented him from making further advance on his friend. They now both cried piteously for help and it came quickly in the form of] Bonnie, the guide, whose ,experience in the woods had taught him that coolness and decision were the things ueedful in such an emergency. This he showed in his quickness in getting a gun and shooting the beast., GENERAL GRANT A TOTAL Ansrxxxun.——A correspondent of the Chicago Inter- Ocean who journeyed with General Grant from San Francisco to Galena, writes: “The fact of General Grant’s total abstinence from wine or. other intoxicating liquors is one which has attracted wide attention and comment. His habits in this respect in the past, it is well known,’have been greatly exaggerated and misrepresented. . The manager of the Central Pacific, understanding the General's wishes, furnished his car with no liquor of any kind. On the Union Pacific we found the car stock- ed with all kinds, but General Grant always turned his glasses base upward. One night the porter of his car came to him with a se- cret, which I tell because suggestive in this connection. It was this: That on the night he was rendered uncomfortable by an acci- dent to his back,occasioned by reaching over some baggage in the car, Mrs. Grant pre- scribed some brand ,but the General refused it, saying simply, “ 0, I'll smoke; that will do just as well." It is a subject upon which any one would hesitate to question General Grant, but it is the conviction of all his friends who have often heard his strong ex- pressions upon kindred moral questions, that in the same unostentatious way in which he has given aid to other good cauSes, he is of- fering to the cause of temperance the assist— ance of his example. ” One of the plumbing establishments of 'Danbury took in a new journeyman the other day. He was from a_ hamlet over in New York State—a little hamlet where he had worked with his father. The day after his arrival there was a burst in the water-pipe of a house in Pine street. Hewas toltho go over there and attend to it. Seeing the owner of the house in the shop he went up to him and , got the particulars of the break and then he made ready with his tools and started.Just as he was passing out of the shop the proprietor saw him. “Where are you going ?" The new man told him. “Do you. mean to tell me that you are going up there to fix that pipe without examining it 2" he gasped. “Why, I am going to look at it when I get there," said the new, man. “Merciful Heaven I” ejaculated his employer catching hold of the desk to supporthim- self. “Can it be possible that you can do a job at one visit? Don’t you know. your trade better than that? Have you no pride in your business? Why you'd ruin the en. tire community in less than a year.” And the speaker burst into tears. As soon as he grew calmer he explained to the new man that he should first visit the house, make a thorough examination of the building, get a lay of the streets, find the location of the nearest hydrant, go up on the roof of the house, and then return thoughtfully to the shop for his tools, keeping meanwhile an accurate record ,of the time. Bantam/News. l The Eighth Avgnue horse car stables in .New York, were entirely destroyed by fire last Tuesday morning. About 200 horses out of 1,100 owned by the company, were burned. About 30 cars were destroyed to- gether with 150 snow plows, 2,000 sets of harness, 2,000 bushels of oats, 1,500 bushels ground fodder, and an enormous supply of blankets, whips, &c. Loss estimated at $200,000. [Let the next spelling reform convention be held in Maine, and adopt measures to reform the spelling of the lakes of that State.

Ono pleasant evening recently two men were seated in a cosy little room not far from St Louis, engaged in conversation con- cerning criminals. One was a detective connected with a Chicago agency. “Well,” remarked the detective, after a pause in the in the conversation, “I will tell you a pecu- liar little incident that happened several years ago to a brother detective ,which will illustrate how luck sometimes assists us in accomplishing an object, which otherwise might be unattainable. “Several years ago," he continued as he ejected a cloud of smoke from his mouth, “a noted forger was wanted very badly in Chicago where he had been indulging in such crookcduess as rendered him liable to occupy the penitentiary f& a term of years if he were caught. The case was placed in Pinkerton’s hands and one of his men detailed to work it up. He Was fortunate enough to obtain a clew to the much wanted individual’s whereabouts and following it up he at length spotted his man at Toronto, Canada, which you know is on Lake Ontario. The detective threw himself in the way of the forger, became acquainted with him under an assumed name, and gradually ingrtiatcd himself in his favor. Forgery not being an extraditible offense it was impossible to make the arrest in Canada, so the detective was obliged to adopt another line of tactics. He made known his intention of crossing over into the States, and the forger determined to go to the boat to see him off. Once on board, the detective kept him engrossed in conversa- tion, and with such consummate tact did he play his part that the crooked gentleman did not notice that the boat had started until it was far out in the lake, for they had gone below to take a social glass at parting. When the forger found the boat gradually receding from the Canada shore. with no possibility of getting back immediately, he fumed and swore for a time, but seeing that did not better’mattcrs in the least, be cooled down and determined to take the best of a bad job. ' “As soon as that imaginary line in the middle of the lake which divides the two countries had been passed, the detective re~ vealed himself, and, clapping on the nippers arrested his man. They arrived on the other shore at length without adventure,and board- ing the lightning express on the Lake Shore _ and Michigan Southern that night. they started on their journey. There happened to be a few persons in the car in which the two sat. The detective was almost com- pletely worn out from loss of sleep, and, as it was a through train, be determined to ob— tain a little Morpheus. Placing the prisoner on the inner side of the seat, he so disposed himself next him that be imagined the slightest move would awake him. The ar- rangements completed he fell asleep in an easy state of mind. He doesnot know how long he slept until he awoke suddenly with astart, and found to his chagrin that the forger was gone. It is a rule of our agency. that if a man is sent upon the trail of a depredator, and fails in bringing him back, he loses his place on the force, so you see his reputation as well as his position, de— pended upon his prompt action. 'He quickly decided upon his line of action, and, walk- ing with assumed carelessness through the train, he examined every nook and corner that the prisoner could possibly be stowed away in. His search was fruitless. On his return he was accosted by a brakeman, who inquired ,. “Are you looking for your friend i” “The detective answered in the affirmitive. “ ‘Ch,’ said the brakeman, ‘he got off at thelast station where we stopped for water. He seemed as if he didn’t want to disturb your sleep, for he got over the back of the seat.’ “The detective then made known who he was, and inquired of the brakemau whether there was any possible chance of his getting back to the town that night. Very fortunate- ly the train stopped a short distance ahead on a siding in order to allow a freight train going' in the direction of this particular town to pass them. The aonductor signaled it to stop. the detective got abroad, and in the course of an hour or so was standing in the little village where he desired. It was a primitive Ohio hamlet, and the only al- leged hotel it could boast of was of t e most wretched description. The detective concluded that he could do nothing at that late hour and in his exhausted condition; so he determined to obtain a little sleep and scour the country in the morning. With infinite difficulty he succeded in arousing the sleepy landlord of the hostlery. ‘There was no accommodation,’ he said, in reply to the dctectives‘s question, unless he was wil- ling to occupy the same room and bed with another man. ’ ‘ The detective thought it was better than sleeping out, so he asked to be shown the room. He had just unrobed, and was about extinguishing the tallow dip, when someth- ing prompted him to take a look at his bed- fellow. He did so, and what was his sur- prise to find his whilom prisoner snuggled up in the bedclothes. Accustomed as 1:6 mm to repressing his feelings upon all occasions he could scarcely restrain a joyful shout at his good fortune, and it was some time be- fore he recovered sufiicient calmness to act with/coolness. After such self congratula— tion he secured the forgcr‘s'clothing to a piece of twine and suspended them from the window. He then resumed a portion of his own clothing, and hid the remainder, locked the door and placed the key in his pocket, and getting into bedlhe placed his revolver in such a position that, although out of sight it. was within easy reach, and sank into a peaceful slumber. - In the morning he was awakened by the sound of some one talking in the room, and peering cautiously around he noticed the forger rummaging about, clothed only in an abbreviated undergarmeut and endeavoring manfuliy to give proper vent to his feelings in choice but emphatic expletivcs. His search for his clothing proving unavailing, he approached the bed opposite to investigate. As he did so,‘click’ weht the revolver, and the detective stood revealed to his astonished gaze. He started as if he had been struck, and before he could recover from his astonishment he was properly handcuffed and at the detectivc’s mercy. “He was soon assisted into his clothing,the next passing train was hailed and they ar- rived at their destination without further ad- venture." “What became of the forger f” inquired the , reporter, as the detective applied a lighted match to his cigar. “on, he was tried soon afterwood,” was the reply, “am the evidence against him was of such an overwhelming character that he was convicted and sent up for a long term—St. Louis Rep.

First Settlement of the Miami Country. BY S. I]. EARLE. [Continued] . The day was unfavorable for hunting, so they killed only one buck, though they hunt- ed until it was too late- to return to the fort that night, on which account the white peo- ple were troubled, fearing their companions might be killed. They were hospitably treated by the Indians and in the morning returned to the fort. , When they were about leaving, the Indian who hunted with Mr. Kibby,oifcred him the venison he had killed, while hunting with him, which Mr. Kibby hesitated about receiving, but being advised by the Indian who could speak English, he accepted and at it on his horse. 0n seeing this, the Indian who hunted with Stites, be- gun to gather up as much of what he had killed and put it on Stite’s horse; so that they returned not only in safety, but with a load of. venison and additional assurance of friendly feeling on the part of the Indians. About this time was born, J ane, daughter of Elijah and Rhoda Stites. She was the first white child born in the Miami country, and afterwards became Mrs. Jame Blue. The white people thinking it very important to maintain peace with the Indians, invited them all to come into the fort and eat a Christmas dinner, to which they agreed. On the 24th of December, to the joy of all, Mr. Hugh Dunn, of New York, arrived with his family. He brought with him his son Mica- jah, and his nephew, Samuel Dunn, making with himself, three men, who could labor and fight, if necessary. On Christmas morn- ing the Indians camein, and a turkey pot-pie was prepared for dinner. As the company was large the pot-pie had to be large. Two large iron kettles were used in place of din- ner pots. Into these were put the ingredients composing a turkey pot-pie,and cooked over a fire made by the side of a large sycamore log,’ outside of the fort. While the dinner was being cooked, a table was prepared near the spot, by driving forked stakes into the ground, and placing poles in the forks and boat planks on the poles. When dinner was nearly ready, Lieuteth Kingsbury, who had been invited, arrived with his soldiers, from a boat about one mile lower down the stream. At sight of them the Indians were alarmed, and on a signal being given, which they understood, they fled, but being called back by Major Stites, and being assured that nothing but friendship was meant, they re— turned and ate their dinner. From that time until they returned to their village, in the spring, to attend to their‘ corn, they kept up the most friendly intercourse with the white people of the new settlement, though at war with the Kentuckians. Nothing impor- tant occurred to affect the progress of im- provement for the remainder of the year, now drawing toa close; but while treated kindly by the Indians,they were in continual dread of a rupture with them, and sometimes starvation seemed to stare them in the face. Mrs. Rhoda Stiles reflecting upon the condi- tion of her family of three small children, in the wilderness, far from friends, without means of support, except what could be ob- tained in the woods, was impressed with the belief that they must starve, that she, for- getting all other danger, started out into the woods to indulge her grief. As she passed along with eyes fixed on the ground, she was startled by the sound of a human voice, and looking up found an Indian near enough to have laid hands upon her, but her tears seemed a sufficient plea, and she was per- ,mitted to retrace her steps, forgetting the fear of starvation, and rejoicing that her life was spared that she might take care of her two little boys and her infant daughter. (To be continued.) m The literature of the Camden elopment has the merit of simplicity. The clergyman’s daughter, age twenty-two, who has run away with a house painter, respectable but poor, sends this brief statement to her father: “I beg your pardon for leaving you in so abrupt a manner, but I did because you opposed my union with the only man I ever loved. I shall always love and honor you, dear father, but there is a greater love and a higher duty I owe to: the one who now bears to me the most sacred relation on earth. ‘We are married, and no power on earth can part us. I am happy and contented in my choice, and I am sure everything is just as God ordained it to be. Your loving daughter, NELLIE.” 0n the envelope were these words : “We were married this morning in Germantown by a minister of the church.” The word “the" was underlined, as the daughter desired to express to the father the fact that the mar— riage ceremony was performed by a clergy— man of the same denomination to which he himself belongs. The clergyman’s opposition did not arise from anything that could be' urged against the character of his son-in-law. He is incapable of supporting his wife as she has been accustomed to living since her childhood, surrounded by everything for which her heart craves. A Groton, Conn., letter to the Springfield Republican says: A new feature of the har- bor scenery last summer was the cottage and grounds of Alfred Mitchell of New York (a brother of “Ik Marvell,” and himself former- ly an officer of the Thirteenth Connecticut Volunteers) on the Pequot road to New Lon- don. Buying an old house and eleven acres of land for a song, Mr. Mitchell has simply added on a low-roofed kitchen in the rear and a wide piazza in front; into the latter he has inclosed a big pine tree—after the manner adopted by his father—in -law, C. L. Tiffany, at his place at Irvington on Hudson. But by simply painting his house, fence and outbuildings India red and putting a yellow lattice work on his piazza, from which doors- and windows open toward the river, and planting a row of sun—flowers, now in full bloom, along his river front, Mr. Mitchell has made his cottage the prettiest and most remarked in the whole town. Let us Just Come Together. . I was asked to hold a. special meeting at a church belonging to a congregation of color- ed people on theSabbath, to instruct them in regard to their having a Sunday School. But few of the people can read, but all seem anxious» to learn, so I supplied them with elementary helps, and sh0wed them how they can have a Sunday school. When the ques- tion arose whether the new organization should be simply a Union Sunday School, such as the American Sunday School Union plants and fosters-or should have a denomi- national name; one of the leading men rose and said: “Bredderin, we don’t want no school what dose tings are teached dot pa preachers fuss about so.

Especially is this the case with all grades of Lumber. From the prices of mid— summer, there is already an advance of at least ten per cent. with every With an advance of three to four dollars per thousand indication of a much greater one. in lake and canal freights, and an unprec cedented demand in the West (justified by the enormous crops) whence our supply comes it is easy to see the cause and predict the per- manence of the indreasc in price. For the past few years it has been my unfortunate privilege to follow the market down .’ DOWNI DOWN I- but my faith in'the increasing de- mand and the decreasing supply of good Pine Lumber in this country, is at length justified . and this advance finds me with the largest stock of Pine, Spruce & Hemlock Lumber, and Shingles, on hand, and in process of ship- ment, that was ever placed in this market by any one. . . After the contiHual shrinkage of the past few years, I feel that I am now entitled to the advance, in addition to a fair profit upon pro-sent prices. But believing that quick sales, even with small profits, is better than stagnation, I have concluded to put this Lum — bar on the Market at the meant Wholesale Prices, adding simply the actual expenses of transacting business. . This Lumber, purchased in June and July, comprises nearly two million feet of the best manufactures of Michigan pinc,Northe'rn and Eastern Spruce, two million Shingles, and nearly one million Bangor Laths. With this as a basis I think I may justly claim to be able to furnish the'largest and best assortment of lumber in this county during the present Fall and coming Winter, and 'with unequal— led storage and shipping facilities, am pre- pared to fill» all orders with a guarantee of satisfaction surpassed by no other dealer. I keep only C. G. Steams & Co.’s Bangor tim- 0 bet, which is worth more and costs more at wholesale than the Calais timber. I sell it at same price. It is clean, bright and free from grit, not being rafted either here or in Maine. I sell only Bangor Laths which are worth more and cost more at wholesale, than any other kind. I sell them as low as the lowest. I sell only the best brands of Shingle manu— factured by the men whose names are Stamp ed upon each bunch, and whose reputation, with my own, are a. sufficient guarantee of the quality. I desire above all things to furnish a good article, and endeavor to secure that by per- sonal examination at the place of manufac- ture, before purchasing, and am always ready to warrant every thing as represented. All my 1%, 1:}, and 2 inch lumber, in upper grades will bcsurfaced two sides to full thickness, for which no extra charge is made. I am now closing out the last invoice of the Oscar Fenn Parallel Planed Shingle—and during the coming season my stock will be of the following kinds: 8. K. 61'. Co., rived. John McGraw «S: 00., sawed, Foster, Blackman d7 00., sawed, W. C. Cummings, sawed, with Southern Rivcd Cedar and California. Red wood to order.

Steedman, 2'1»th C’hurchmanJ A summer‘s sojourn by the sea; A child’s voice ringing merrily. o A sand fort reared by chubby hands; A glorious ramble on the sands. A golden week, with gladness rife ; The sunshine of a cloudless life. as it _ o A month of pain that lingers by; A closing of a bright blue eye. U A paling ’ncath the angel’s breath, And then the awful hush of death. A wild wind moaning through the trees; A sobbing mother on her knees. The grief which will not be beguiled ; The wail, "O God, my child! my child I" * I! I. t A tiny mound, and on it laid A little bucket and a spade. A sunny greensward pranked with shells; A wreath of golden immortelles. ' A cold, fair form beneath the sod ; A little angel—face with God. * The Best Gift. r. Around the cradle that the childhood bare pCamc God’s own angels, with their pitying eyes, And gazed upon thee in a still surprise To see beyond heaven’s portal aught so fair. They brought thee precious gifts. One gave to thee , The gift of beauty for thy body’s grace, Deep smiling eyes to light a dreamy face, And perfect limbs as young Apollo’s be. One set the crown of genius on thy head, And one bestowed a heart like woman’s own, Strong as the sea, and» trembling at a breath. Last, 3 veiled figure bent above the bed And said, “I give thee everything in one, “In heaven I am named Love; men call me Death. 11 “So shalt thou never tread the weary ways That lead men up the dusty slopes of life, Nor feel the fierceuess of the noonday strife, Knowing alone the morning of the days. ' For thee the dew shall;linger on the flower; The light that never was on lander sea Shall have no momentary gleam for thee. ' But brighten into lovc’s immortal hour. Thy beauty’s grace shall never know decay, Nor sorrow lay her hand upon thy heart; Neither shall chill mistrust thy spirit slay, - But light still shining, though itself depart, Until all stars are lost in one eternal day." Harper's. “Carest Thou Not.” Carest Thou not? 0 Thou that givest life. Carest Thou not? who art the love Thou teachest, While half Thy children perish in the strife, For lack of the sweet charity Thou preach- est. The eye that sees, the heart that longs and yearns, For beauty, wealth and calm of golden hours ; , Or Thou,or Naturc,gavc the brain that burns, The mind that chafes touse its latent pow- ers. Caught in the bitter net of circumstances, We strive and faint amid each baffling fold, While careless fingers take or miss the chances, Or idle with the precious thing they hold, And favored darlings of the would look down From the fair height by fate or birthright given. . Wondering to see how under fortune’s frown Along steep path our tired feet are' driven. Carest Thou not? Our prized ambitions fail, Our dearest droop, in dull days shadowed too, Theiryoung eyes forced to read the weary tale, , While their vain struggles our past pangs renew. We faiu wow see, and save, and live, and lung , ' ' Fain would have honest heart and open hand ; AI hope and love make but a breaking staff, When ’mid our shattered dreams alone we stand. Carest.Thou not, 0 Lord? Old age creeps on Blighting each lingering bloom we dare to cherish ; ~ A little while, and the last day is done. Carest Thou not, O Lord, because we per— ish ?

Ex—Governor Hubbard is not afraid to spell Nation with a capital “N.” Hisre- marks in welcoming the Atlanta military company that has just visited Hartford would have shocked Senator Eaton had that venerable statesman been present, for the exGovernor told the visitors from Georgia .that “what we are today, that by God’s grace we are resolved to remain, one and undivided under the constitution, not a score or more of dissevered or clashing nations, bristling with standing armies and converted for self-defense into military barracks, but a constitutional unity—a Nation (applause)— or call it what we will and wrangle about terms as we may, a federal government su— preme for federal purposes and capable of self-defense, not less against enemies from within than .enemies from without—every State abiding in the Union, not by leave and sufferauce of any other but of constitution— al right, and remaining there too, not of ca- price or grace or favor but of constitutional obligation, and everyone moving in its own sphere of independent local self-government by its own law, as in the great gravitation of the heavens each star keeps harmony with the sun, but holds its own orbit, and has its own glory, and refuses to be ab- sorbed into the central mass." The stout- est. stalwart would ask no better definition of the supremacy of the Nation and the rights of the several States. Why should a man who has a comfortable bed lay in his coal in the summer ?
