I had a dream the other night.
When everything was mu ;

Came up and paid his bill ;
Each wore a look of honesty,
And Emilee were round each eye.

They yelled. “ How‘l that for high 7"

Fate.
BY ’. um nun.
The sky is clouded. the rocks are bare ;
The spray of the tempest is white in air,
The winds are on! with the waves at play.
And I shall not tempt the sea 10—day.
The trail is narrow, the wood is dim.
The panther clings to the arching limb ;
And the lion‘s whelps are abroad at play,
And I shall not join in the chase 10-day.
But the ship sailed safely over the sen.
And the hunters came from the chase in glee;
And the town that was built upon a rock
Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

Sad Adventures.
I stood and watched my ships go out,
Each. one by one. unmooring free,
What time the quiet harbor filled,
With flood tide from the sea,
The first that sailed, her name was Joy.
Sbe spread n smooth. white shining sail,
And untward drove with bending spars.
Before the sighing gale.
Another nailed. her name was Hope.
No cargo in her bold aha bore;
Thinking to and in western landn
or merchandise 3 Marc.
The next that sailed. her name was Love.
She showed a red flag at her mast.
A flag as red no blood she showed.
And she sped south right fast.
The but that sailed. her name was Faith,
Slowly she took her passage forth.
Tucked and lay [0; at last she steervd
A straight course for the north.
My gallant ships they sailed away.
Over the shimmering eummer um;
I Mood at watch for many I day-—
But one came back to mv.
For Joy was caught by Pirate Puiu.
Hope ran upon a hidden reef.
And Love took are and funndered fast.
In \vhelnnug 503- of grief
Faith came at last. storm-beat and 10m,
She recompensed me all my loan.

A Chicago youth named Slackman ordered
his father to get up and build a fire, but the
old man talked hack, and the boy had to flog

Mrs. Atkinson, of Providence, thus sums
up three years of her married life: “The
first year my husband called me ‘My Dear‘;
the second year, ‘ Mrs. A); and the third
year. ‘ 01d Sorrél-top.‘ This last I could not
stand."
Boggs says, if he desires to see his wife
look handsome, to have crimson cheeks,
eyes of fire, and flow of speech, he buys a
photograph of some female, sticks it in an
envelope, and lets it lie around the house
until she sees it.
Mr. Beckler, of Missouri, returning to his
desolate hearth, found a tender note from
his wife, saying: I leave you mine and
toms picture. you had better break up the
house and live at home. I love tom better
than i do you and that is why i have gone."
That was an astute minstrel showman in
Pennsylvania, who induced a parson to de-

A House’s Tale.
I am a white mouse, and I live in a house
—no, that's poetry—l mean we are four, and
we live in a rolling cage with a little round
door.
We came from India, where they keep
such a hot ball up in the sky. You have a
ball in this country just as yellow, but there
isn’t much of any fire in it; you call it the
sun.
We came from the inside of India. “ Cen-
tml‘s” the "name. Such a place for trees!
The palms go up, up, till they tear the sky
open, and it leaks. Then the rain comes
down. All you have to do when it leaks is
to creep into your hole, so your fur won't
get wet.
First that 'ever I knew, I was under a
palm tree, eating a wee bit of cocoa~nuL It
tasted nice, and I was glad I was alive. But
I didn't suppose there was anybody else in
the world but just me, till I looked up, and
there were as many as sixteen more of us
eating a custard apple! I went up to the cus—
tard apple and began to nibble. It was
nicer than the cocoa-nut. I was so happy
I couldn't keep still, so I twinkled nfi eyes,
and said :
“ Qua, qua, hnw d'ye do, folks ‘5"
L'gh ! how my voice did squeebk!
" Great country this," says I, “ but there's
nothing suits me so well as your long, long
tails !"
Then they laughed.
“ W’bere'll I go to get me one ?" said I, for
I supposed they grew on bushes.
Just that. fnoment somebody bit mine, and
that was the way I knew I had it on!

went at once to the front, and nothing has
been heard of him since the terrible battle
of Sedan. Not long after that Mr. Hallier
wrote to his wife and daughter, telling them
his utter inability to assist them in any way,
as his entire property at Chateau Dun, had
been burned down and he was left utterly
destitute. Nothing further has been heard
from him, except a brief note written on a,
scrap of paper, and sent by balloon post, in
which he said they would not know him,7so
emaciated bad he become through famine
and trouble. Gomg then to the French
Consul at San Francisco, Miss Hallie: told
her story, and through his influence she
sang at the French Fair in that city. Her
sweet singing and mournful story moved
several prominent gentlemen to get up a
concert, to furnish her with the means to
come to New York City. Arriving here she
sang by request of her countrymen, at the
French Fair, and received much attention.
She is at prmnt arranging to give two can-
certs in this city, hoping by them to obtain
the means of returning with her mother to
Paris, there to comfort and support her
afflicted and destitute father.— Tribune.

SWEET COX ON COBSETS.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Times says: “ 8am Cox is one of
the cleverest men in the'House, albeit he is
a Democrat. His sallies of wit, genuine
humors, are wont to set the House ‘ in a
roar,‘ and on no subject in he more happy
than on the tariff. He has [nude some good
speeches in Committee on the Whole, as
well as in the House, while that subject was
under general debate.” Here is the way
Cox protests against the tax on corsets:
“ There is a bill before the Home of Rep-
resentatives, reported by Messrs. Schenck,
Kelley, Blair, McCarthy, Hooper and May-
nard, to impose a national tax on corsets and
hoop skirts. Against this tax the free wo-
men of America should promptly protest.
Is there to be nothing too sacred for the
searching band of the tax gntherer? Is there
no limit to the reach of the Amer? The
Committee of Ways and Means have already
levied a tax on stockings and gutters, and
must the privacy of women be further in-
vaded ? If women have one right which
men are bound to respect more than another,
it is the privacy of the bosom, and of the
surroundings of their persons. .
“ Did the committee who reported this
bill know what they were doing! Did Gen.
Schenck intend to direct the Commissioner
of Customs and his deputies to thrustnhnnd
into every gentle bosom and gather a tax
therefrom ‘2 Did he not know that this was
a reverse of all the laws of mankind in
every age and in every clime?
“ We know that iron has long since en-
tered the soul of Kelley, and that be de-
votes his energies to steel; but had the man a
mother? Had he ever a sweetheart? And
did he know he was placing a tax around
the forts of human life ? Did any member
of that committee—not raised on a bottle—
willingly propose to collect this ad axiom
tax in districts rendered dear to human
memory since Eve nursed her first born, or
Vinnie Ream shaped the bust of Helen I
Had Mr. Hooper no recollection of early
days. when it was bliss to rest his head upon
a heart all fondly his own 9 and, could he,
recollecting this, propose to permit the tax-
gather to extort revenue from the hallowed
spot? Let him ask himself what would have
been his feelings had be discovered his dar-
ling in tears, and found that her distrm was
because she had not paid her ‘ corset tax.’
“ Are there no men in Congress who will
lift their voiwa in favor of untaxed corsets
and unfazed hoops? Will Gen. Furnsworth
be silent while this outrage is perpetuating,
and vote to tax the vestments that enclose the
5111-ti of beauty, purity, and love .’ Will
the stalwart hem from Massachusetts (Mr.
Butler) vote this tax and hereafter look any
woman straight in the face? Will be, who
has indentified woman‘s vocation with Jo-
innafs art of war. wear this outrage on his
sleeve for ‘ (laws to peek at‘ ? Will Manger:
not point to the Democratic party the duty
of repudiating a. tax so atrocious ? Will the
gentleman from Onondaga (Mr. McCarthy).
in his zeal to protect salt, impose this tax on
the great dairies of nature .’ Will the great
champions of American labor and produc-
tion vote for this bill to encircle with specific
and ad oakmem taxes the infant manufac-
toriw of the land ? -
“ It will not do to say that the House is
aware that corsets and hoops are of univer-
sal use. Members know that the Treasury
Department can furnish all needed informa-
tion on this subject.
“ The women of America have no repre»
aentation, and they have a right to protest
against this unprecedented taxation. They
have submitted to be taxed upon their shoes
and slippers, their hosiery, their dresses.
their ahawls, bats and feathers, and every
bit of lace and ribbons, but there is a limit
to even female submission. Around the
sanctity of their corsets they will draw the
line. Shall there be a tax plawd upon those
emotions and throbbings which have ban
the deligbtof men in all ages? The tax
should be resisted, and tyrant man be taught
that the hand that seeks revenue in that
quarter my find the revolver or the dagger.
It only required a Marat to produce Char—
lotte Cox-day, and the Schencka and Kelley:
may read that history with profit.
Let the women’s convention take action.
Let them add to the demand for the ballot
the cry of “ free corsets. free hoops !” and,
until they gain the latter, let the men who
vote this tax be denied all knowledge of fe—
male babiliment, save what they get from
the clothes-lines. "
