I passed houses late in tne day, where I might have slept, so . that .J. mightre caught but and compelled to sleep in a straw-stack." When he reacliid Cincinnati he was the very: cot of a tramp. The soil of the road was upon his boots and the hay-seed was in his 'hair. His coat was like the raiment of which the old prophet wrote. He went to the office of the Cincinnati Commercial, and asked to see Mr. Halsted. Jfot daunted by the austere individual at the desk in the connting-rooni, he found lis way to the great editor andnflSEUi himself known. "ou nngfctftnd work on the levee," said Mr. Halstead.

"I Wdsffitand tero .ia. going to be a swlwjJjoii !Ki(eAV avenue this evening, and, as I am a regular Jenkins, I would like to take it in for you." The St. Louis editor informed him that a St. Louis reporter was sufficient for that purpose. "Xou think I am too gay?" saM the occupant of the carriage, puffing a cigar.

"1 think yon are a fraud, said Hutchins. "Come, now; that won't do. Come down and take dinner with me, and I'll show yon who I urn." The invitation was declined. Three days later a man in very cheap store clothes stepped into the editor's sanc

tum and said: "I asked you out to dini ner with me the other day, and you re

fused. -I've come to take dinner with you." He had been t.t the game again and played until he lost, and then "played in" his clothes, garment at a time. One of the "fraternity" bought him his storesuit. That night he reported the wedding of a- noted -society pair for the rimes. He-remained on the paper a few weeks, and made another winning.

Again he decked himself out under the manipulation of a tailor, and, walking over to the office, he handed in his resignation, and left that afternoon on & packet for Hannibal, Mo. The trip never cost him a cent. He had captured the commander of the boat, who gave him an invitation to ride on his craft as long as he was at the helm. He presented himself at the office of the Superintendent of the Hannibal and St Joe railroad, and after a half-hour's conversation procured a pass to the western terminus of the line. There he lost Jus money at the game, and again become the pattern of a tramp. A newspaper man of that city procured km a pass to Omaha and gave him- $K: He took the $5 to a gambling-house, got up from the table 600 ahead, walked over to the newspaper office, threw down the pass, thanked the editor, akad him' what he would take for his coecern, -and actually made a bargain to purchase it. -The editor said he was sb Jut to go "to Jefferson City on some 1usmess','and asked the "tramp" if he would not "take hold of the concern" until he returned. By that time he could igrobabiytell whether he wanted to purchase. The paper was intensely Democratic. The report got abroad ..that' the young man had a fortune, and that be was about to purchase the paper. He was called upon by several of the politicians who were anxious to forsi his acquaintance. One night he called the foreman down and told ban he had purchased, bnt that the announcement was not to be made for several days. The foreman had heard he was to do sc. "Here's an editorial a leader, that I want double-leaded." The foreman bowed to his new proprietor. -Th next morning the great Democratic organ came out intensely Re

were in vast tuns, hogsheads, casks, and barrels, and the total amount in storage was 200,000,000 gallons. In' fact, there were six and one-half gallons for every man, woman adn child of the population of Great Britain. Some of it had been in store for years.

"Did you ever take an oath?" inquired the Jndge. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush over her face as she answered: "No, sir." She thought that he intended to in quire if she had ever blasphemed. j "I do not mean that," said the Judge, . who saw her mistake; "I mean, were you evoi; a witness before?" "No, sir; I never was to court before," was the answer. Ho handed her the Bible, open.' "Do you know that book, my daughter?" She looked at and answered i "Yes, sir; it is the Bible." "Do you over read it?" he asked. "Yesj sir; every evening." "Can von tell me what the Bible is?" inquired' the Judge. "It is the werdof the great God," she answered. "Well, place vour hand upon the

A long, narrow night of well-worn

It was warm, rich with the odor of the wines, and musty and moldy. A sniff of it

The Death of Little Children. I scarcely know how it is, but the deaths of children seem to me always less premature than those of elder persons. Not that they are in fact so, but it is because they themselves have little or no relation to time or maturity. Life seems a race which they have yet to run entirely. They have made no progress toward the goal. They are born nothing further. But it seems hard, when a man has toiled high up the steep hill of knowledge, that he should be cast, like Sisyphus, downward in a

moment; that he who has worn the day

and wasted

gold of science, should be, with all his wealth of learning, all his accumulions, made bankrupt at once. What becomes of all the richness of the soul, the piles and pyramids of precious

thoughts which men heap together?

Where are Shftkspeare's imagination, Bacon's learning, Galileo's dream. Where is the sweet fancy of Sidney, the airy spirit of Fletcher, and Milton's

thought severe? Methinks such things

should not die and dissipate, when a hair can live for centuries, and a brick of Egypt will last a thousand years I I am content to believe that the mind of

man survives, somewhere or other, his clay. I was once present at the death of a little child, and when its breath was gone, its life (nothing more than a cloud of smoke) aud it lay like a waxen image before me, I turned my eyes to its moaning mother, and sighed out my few words of comfort. But I am a beggar in grief, I can feel and sigh and look, kindly, I think; but I have nothing to give. My tongue deserts me. I know the inutility of too soon comforting. I know that I should weep were I the loser, and I let the tears have their way. Sometimes a word or two I can muster; a "Sigh no morel" and "Dear lady, do not grieve!" but further, lam mute and useless.

' preceded her. Witnesses had falsified facts in his favor, and villainy had man- ' nfaotured for him a sham defense. But ' before her testimony his was scattered like chad'. Tho little child for whom I the mother prayed for strength to be ! given to spoak the truth as it was be- , fore God, broke the cunning device of ; matured villainy like a potter's vessel. I That which lu-r mother prayed for was given, and the manner in which she i spoke was like a revelation from God I himself.

Wrecks of Washington Life. The streets of Washington are lined

"'"""."i1" trT X. 8 Y2y I wth old battered wrecks that the waves fenSdVSal? ft winds of politics have cast ashore

from time to time, it is a fact, however, well known here, that a majority of those who are forced out of public life and settle in Washington turn out as "ne'er do woolb. " I know a graduate of Harvard College, who was himself the President of a college, a Senator in Congress, and subsequently in a position of almost unequaled power, who "settled" in Washington. Drink and cards brought him to ruin, and he was, if I am not wrong, once in jail aud many times in the station-house. He

was a superior scholar, nn eloquent speaker and an able thinker. It was not unusual for him to ncco3t his former friends and ask for a quarter to buy him something to oat. Where ha is now I do not know. I know of as sad a ease in the lower house a man of commanding miud and presence and rarely gifted an nn orator. He was at one time a member of the Constitutional Convention of Kentucky, afterwards a memlwr of the State 'Legislature of California, and was elected to codify the laws of that State; was an elector on tho Fremont ticket in 1856; was Receiver of Public Monies in one of the Territories, and subsequently Surveyor General and then served two terms in the House. Ho was sought, by all the scientific, religious nnd literary scoioties here, and stood a? high as any man in either brunch of Congress. 'Well, what of it? yon ask. Well, this of it: For several years past that man kept one of the lowest dives and -brothels in tho city, where young men and weak men were hired by rum, cards and women. He died in this miserable hovel, and was followed to the grave by a depraved creature of the town whom he called his wife.

Dispatch from Carlisle, Fad The people of the little village of Huntsville, in Fenn township, Luzerne oounty, were horrified this morning by tho information that Mrs. Martin Douglas and her three children were lying dead in their house, with their throats out from ear to ear. Martin- Douglas is a young laboring man, and works at Pine-Grove Furnace, five miles or so from his home. His custom has been to go to his work on Sunday evenings, work all week and return to his family on Saturdays. His children were all small, the o.dest being 5 years old and the youngest but 0 months old, and they and tneir mo her were the only occupants of the house; but,'- as Mrs. Douglas' parents lived near, and her mother was frequently baek nnd forth, it was theaght entirely safe for

tuo husband to remain away au me wees. Some months ago, however, the family : iihvsician thought he noticed somptoms of ! lnsaultv In Mrs, Douglas and so informed tho vi man's husband and also her parents, : but thev saw nothing wrong in the woman's ' conduct, and paid little heed to what the ' doctor said. Last evening Mrs Douglas' ' mother was to see her, remaining until about 0 o'olock, the ohildren having been put to bed before she left. Beport says she saw nothing in her daughter's actions to cause any t-uspicion that she was not in her 1 right niiiid, or entirely safe to leavo alone ! with her little children. This morning, no one appearing outside the Douglas house for so long, the neighbors become suspicious that something was wrong, and Mrs Douglas' mother went to lnqulro.

The Postmasters, for the most part, receive appropriations for carrying on their nltices in bulk sums, and are required to employ the best men thejr can at tho lowest prices.

He eonsldorj their pav inadequate to the services rend red.
