Vht toner. •‘I Rise to Seek the Light.” I saw a little blade of grass Just peeping from the sod, And asked it why it sought to pass Beyond its parent clod? It seemed to raise its timid head, And sparkling, fresh and bright, And wondering at the question, said, ‘•1 rise to seek the light.” I asked the eagle why his wing To upward flight was given, As if he scroned each earthly thing, And knew no home but heaven? He answered, as he fixed his gaze, Undazzled at the sight, Upon the sun’s meridian blaze, ‘•I rise to seek the light.” I asked my soul, what means this thirst For something yet beyond, What means this eagerness to burst From every earthly bond? It answers, and I feel the glow With fires more warm, more bright “All is too dull, too dark below, I rise to seek the light.” Wit, mstta, &(. -Canada sent a cheese to the State Fair at Buffalo weighing 7,000 pounds, valued at §15,000. -The St. Louis street cars carried 1,100,000 passengers in August. They only charge five cents fare. -This year there have been made in California 3,800,000 galions of wine and 10,000 gallons of brandy, -The Kansas City Typographic Union has a handsome new seal, with a cut of Artemus Ward in the center. -One of the most important rules of the science of manners is an almost absolute silence in regard to yourself. -The Democrats of Ohio Chased the Radicals so far into tl e Black Sea that it will not be safe to Wade to save them ! -Eastern radicals are clamorous for the right of negroes to seats in first class railroad cars, and first class berths in steamboat cabins. -A marriage recently took place in Montgomery, Alabama, between a man of eighty-nine and a woman of ninety-two. That’s December in the lap of January. -A man boasting in the company of young ladies that he had a luxuriant head of hair, a lady present said that it was owing to the mellowness of the soil. -Not witty, but true. Literary critics can not determine whether men or women are the .superior letter writers, but they are unanimous in declaring women the greatest story-tellers. -Captain White, bureau agent at Thomasville, Georgia, sent word to all the negroes in the neighbor hood that he would banish them from the country or put them into slavery if they did not vote the radical ticket. -A wealthy woman in France, knowing that the man she loved was in love with another woman, and too poor to marry, recently destroyed herself, and left her property to the man, that he might make her rival his wife. -A corresdondent tells of a lake In Montana, covered with ice twenty feet thick except where there are boiling springs, and which runs out down a perpendicular precipice thousands of feet high in a stream as large as the Missouri. -“Papa please buy me a muff when you go to Boston,” said little three-year old Ruth. Her sis ter Minnie hearing this said : “You are too little to have a muff.” “Am I too little to be cold?” rejoined the indignant little Ruth. -An old gentleman of Webster, Massachusetts, has ordered a gravestone from a marble cutter of that town. The epitaph is as follows: “Who never sacrificed his reason at the alter of a superstitious God: Who never believed that Jonah swallowed the whale.” , -A Dutchman and his wife were traveling; they sat down by the road, exceedingly fatigued. The .wife sighed, “I wish I was in heaven !” The husband replied, “I wish I was at the tavern!” “Oh. you old rouge,” saj-s she, “yon always want to be in the best place 1”
