these two verses, it is that While all unbo-

and to forebode death to him who heard
and saw them. But prosaic modern re-
search has proved them to be nothing
but flocks of wild geese migrating south-

choosing dark nights for their journuyr.

Presidents and Humor.
Washington was the gravest. man of the whole
nation. The tradition of him is that he won
never known to laugh and seldom seen to smile.
~Bostuu Herald.
If there is such a tradition in Boston,
it is at variance with lots of history. and
also with reminiscences which men who
knew George Washington left behind
. them. The Father of His Country was
; not devoid of humor. and there were 0c-
‘ cusions when he indulged in fun. The
Boston Herald describes him as ”gravity
embodied." a description which is in-
' complete, and which can not be applied
to all the hours of his life. He was
among the noblest of mankind. and he
had a good share of virtuous enjoyment.
. In running down the line of presidents
from Washington to his more recent suc-
cessors. the Boston Herald says:
“Andrew Johm-ou could not recognize
humor when he saw it. ”
We need only remark that our Boston
contemporary could not have been ac-
quainted with the North Carolina and
Tennessee tailor who became president
1 of the United States. _
‘ The Boston Herald. remarks further
! that President Garfield was a man who
“had no taste .for fun." It is certain
that our Boston contemporary never
spent a day, passed an evening or held
a dialogue with General James A. (lar-
