OU) BETTERS. BY EDOAB FAWCETT. With ro«y ribbon’s faded ghost to bind them, Long forgotten amid things we all forget, In a chest of ancient souvenirs I find them, Faintly foented from old crumbled mignonette. And as now I slowly read them, solemn-hearted, I Imagine, with a vague, phantasmal dread, That among their yellowed pages I have parted The inviolable cerementh of the dead I Here are words that shine with sunny expectation Of returning over sea to friends and home; “ When at last this gaudy Carnival a elation Discontinues, we shall tear ourselves from Home.” Like a brook the merry language ripples brightly; Well she loved, that happy sister, what life gave! Let me think how many years it is that nightly If tars have glimmered on her lonely Roman grave 1 Here is writing that I almost held as holy; He was such a light of learning, Brother Ned! Equal gentleman to lofty or to lowly, With his candid Baxon eyes and go'den head! Father chided him too sternly, always crying At hie boyish college love for cards and wines! Ah, how often I have dreamed I saw him dying Far away among those Oregonian mines! Here are leaves where still the soul of summer lingers : “ Come to-morrow,! ove; the country is so dull.” Oh, the perfume of those cottage-door syringas. And the twilight of the meadow’s languid lull I Oh, ths fire-flies with their dizzy glitters woven Through the boskage of the copses dark and damp 1 Oh the rapture while she gently played Beethoven in tne parlor where the moth was at the lamp! It is lately as last August that I met her At the crowded Newport ball, where I had strayed. One a widower of sixty-two and better, One a dowager with feathers and brocade. Was it fancy that sometimes looked severely At her pretty daughter’s partner in the waltz ? Could it happen that a meager income yearly Was conspicuous among his youthful faults? Drear mementoes of these disannulled affections, Like the rays from planets that no longer glow, With your tidings that are ghostly resurrections, It were wiser to have burned you long ago I Yet alas! what wasting flame’s intenser flashes, With the reddest greed destruction cau endow, Could have ninde you the irrevocable ashes That annihilating time hai made you now !

PERFECT LOVE IS SIMPLE FAITH.

Tho three magistrates had sat uninterruptedly far into the autumn afternoon, and had now retired to consider their decision. It was a distressing case, and occurring in Singlcbridge, which is a mere handful of a town, provoked intense interest among the inhabitants. Everybody knew the parties concerned. Hi las Westbrook, the reluctant prosecutor, was tenior partner in an impressively solid firm whicli had flourished in the borough for generations. He enjoyed a reputation for strict probity and broad benevolence which was singularly merited. His son Augustus (also in the firm), a witness for the prosecution, w;*s held in much esteem by certain of the younger sort in Hinglebridge, who sympathized with his amiable wildnesses, and if certain of the older sort looked askance at these, why, that was only natural. About Mr. Blanchard, another witness for the prosecution, little was known to the inquiring gossipp. He had been resident with the Westbrooks for about eight months, during which period ho had sat alongside Gus in the office in business hours, and had been a good deal about with him at other times. They got on amazingly well together, people observed, but despite all his efforts—and some of these were marked enough—suave Mr. Blanchard failed to similarly captivate Gus’ pretty sister Fanny. As became her father’s daughter, she treated the West Indian connection of her father’s firm with unfaltering grnciousness. Bui her sweetest moods, her tenderest looks and gentlest tones were not for him. The magician at whose bidding they so gladly came was Blanchard’s instinctive foe. Fioni the moment Harold White, confidential cierk to the firm, and a potential partner therein, met and simply shook hands with the West Indian, they hated each other with a hatred that owed its sustenance on the one side to contempt, and on tho other to malie6 and all uncharitablencss. To day will behold the triumph or discomfiture of Blanchard. In the Police Court of Hinglebridge, in the presence of a crowd of people, tho majority of whom are personally known to lam, Harold White stands accused, on the united testimony of the Westbrooks, father and son, of embezzlement.

To the profound chagrin of the magistrates’ clerk, who, cordially disliaing Blanchard, wishes well to tho accused, the latter conducts his own defense. “ Silence in Uhe court!”

Of the four actors in the little drama old Mr. Westbrook betrays the most agitation as the opening of a door at the back of the court heralds the return of the magistrates to their seats on the bench. The silence is oppressive when, in a voice full of meaning, the Chairman turns to the accused and says: “Harold White, 1 who have known ton for so many years need not say that the long examination which my brother magistrates and myself have this day conducted to the very best of our ability has lieen to all of us fraught with the utmost pain. And we are bound to admit, in your behalf, that nothing has transpired in tho course of this hearing ■which reflects in the least upon your conduct during the period to which I refer. We have given due consideration to this fact in your favor, and have come t) the conclusion, actuated by motives which we earnestly hope you will live to appreciate in a proper spirit, to dismiss this ease. You may go.” “ But my character,” exclaimed White, iu a voice husky with emotlbn ; “who is to clear that of taint?”

“Yourself,” solemnly answered the Chairman. “Call the next case.” Dazed, trembling under the influence of warring passions, he left the dock and passed out of the court into the sunlit street. Whither should he direct his feet? As he slowly and mechanically, seeing nothing, hearing nothing, with bowed head and leaden gait, stole along in the direction of the river side, he felt a touch on his arm. He paused. It was one of Mr. Westbrook’s clerks. The lad’s mouth was tremulous with sympathy. “Mr. Westbrook has sent me with this note, Mr. White. Is there any answer ?”

“ Yes,” he replied, tearing the paper into atoms, “ there is. Mr. Westbrook wishes to see me. Tell him that we shall not meet again until he is prepared to stand up in that Court House and pray to be allowed to proclaim my innocence in tones as loud as those which he used to-day in declaring my guilt.” The lad left him. The September sun was sinking redly behind a familiar belt of woods which fringed the further bank of the river as he continued his moody walk. He had held on for miles, heedless of the direction he took, and now he awoke from his fit of passionate bitterness to find himself on a spot that had often been hallowed by the presence of the girl he loved. What did she think of him ? “Harold 1” “Fanny!” In those two words all was expressed. In that fierce embrace doubt was slain. “Oh, Harold, I have followed you for hours, fearing to speak, you looked so pale and changed ! ” “I am changed. They have not sent me to prison, Fan, but the prison taint is on me. Why don’t you shrink from the moral leper, as the rest of them have dono ? ” “ Because ” —and it seemed to him as though her voice had never thrilled with such sweetness before—“l know you.” “And you believe—” “ That all can be righted yet. I can wait, dear—if you will let me. You never were more precious to me than you are at this moment.” “Miss Westbrook—. Come, Fanny, this is no place for you.” Harold and she had not heard the footsteps. It was Blanchard and her brother who had approached unnoticed. “ And no place for you, either,” said White to Blanchard. "Faugh,” replied the worthy, “J

have bo words to waste on such as yon, sir. lam tore to perform a duty.” “Scoundrel!” Harold begem, at the same time raising his hand. She touched him, and he was stilL “Sir,” said she, “I am mistress of my own actions. If I choose to aooompany my brother, it is—because I choose! Harold, good-by 1 Come what may, my faith will not falter, my love never change.” The last four words were murmured. As she shaped them she reached forward and kissed him before her brother, whose surprise at her defiant attitude was unspeakable. They parted and went their several ways. The charge against Harold White of embezzlement, and the result of it, produced a wonder that lasted much longer than the proverbial nine days. His departure, the day after the hearing, no one knew whither, had had the effect of increasing the number and sympathy of his friends. It was generally admitted that his defense had been weak—incomprehensibly weak. But who knew ? he might have had his own invincible reasons for- not making it stronger. Why had the brother of his affianced (for site was his affianced in all but an open declaration of the fact) broken with him so suddenly? Until Blanchard appeared on the scene they were inseparable. Depend upon it, the West Indian was at the bottom of it. In this fashion the gossips of SiDglebridge discussed the events of Harold White's downfall and departure. Three months had elapsed, and not a word had been heard of or from Harold White; unless, the female gossips suggested, he had written to Miss Westbrook, which, considering the circumstances which preceded his departure, he was hardly likely to have done. For once, however, they were out in their calculations. He had written her a letter in which these words occurred:

“HI tnought, darling, thatyou would be happier to be rid of me for good and all, our bond should be dissolved. It is your love for and simple faith in me that sweetens my life, and keeps me steadfast in my determination to undo the miserable wrong from which I suffer. They shall right me yet. “ L have borrowed, for the present, another name—my mother’s before her marriage; but the people with whom I am know that I am Harold White, and are acquainted with my history. I must try, dear, to rub on without the consolation which your letters would bestow. It is better that we should seem to have parted forever. In the good time we shall meet—and theu !” It puzzled well-informed Hinglebridge to hear Fanny Westbrook’s cheerful words, to note her placid brow and bright manner. She never could have thought much of Harold White, you know, or she would have manifested some regret at his misfortunes. Blanchard, too, was mystified at her. What did it portend ? Had she resigned all hopes of becoming restored to the lover whom he had so effectually helped to disgrace and banish ? He would see. Hi s impetuous love for the sunnyhaired, Haxon-eyed girl, a love which sprung into existence the moment they met, had grown mightily pince the going of White. He would put an end to this uncertainty. He could face his fate. “An interview with me?” replied Fanny to his blandly-proffered request; “certainly, Mr. Blanchard.” Her tone was provokingly even. “And, if you please, let it take place now. Pray be seated.” If she had only been embarrassed. “ Miss Westbrook, I—l—fear that the impression which I made upon you the day of that unfortunate rencontre by the riverside was not favorable. I ” “ Pray proceed, sir,” she remarked in icy tones. “Well, then—allow me—you cannot surely have remained firm in the resolution you then expressed—to cloave to “Mr. Blanchard, I will assist you. You apparently wish to say that I must have ceased to love Harold White. Is that so ?” “Miss Westbrook—Fanny—pardon me ; I do. He is all unworthy of you. Oh, if you did but know the depth of my love for you—” “Btop, Mr. Blanchard,” said she, rising from her chair, and moving slowly toward the door. “Let us understand each other. Whether or not Harold White holds the place in my heart which he once did concerns me, and me only. Tho honor you have done mq, Mr. Blanchard—call it by what tender name you please—l despise. Mr. Blanchard, I know you !” "Stop, Miss Westbrook 1” he exclaimed, making one step forward, and barring her way to the door, “ and hearken to me. You have thrown the gage. Very well, I accept it. It was I who drove Harold White from Singlebridge. Ah, you can be impressed, I see. It is I who can compel your consent to my demands. Now, Miss Westbrook, know me /”

Her face was very white as she swept proudly past the West Indian ; but it was not the whiteness of fear. They measured swords with their eyes—how clear and searching hers were!—and parted.

Next day Fanny Westbrook was missing from Singlebridge. For twelve months Silas Westbrook has been daughterless. Fanny was sought for far and near, but without avail. Augustus had, to quote the idiomatic expression of that congenial companion already referred to, “gone clear to the bad.” Of all his former chums, Blanchard was the sole possessor of a knowledge of the young scapegrace’s whereabouts. As for the West Indian, he seemed to have entirely relinquished all intention of returning to Jamaica. However, we must for the present leave Singlebridge, and make our way to the Theater Royal, Easthampton. The house is crowded by the admirers of the leading lady, whose benefit night it is. Old Fussvton, the stage doorkeeper, is at this moment in a state of mind bordering on despair. He dare not for the life of him leave his post, and he has just learned that a stranger has succeeded in reaching the stage under the convoy of an audacious super. If that should come to the knowledge of Mr. Somerset Beauchamp, the manager, he (Fussyton) will to a certainty be dismissed on the spot. “Take a note to Miss Harebell, sir? Could not do it. It’s against oiders, sir. ”

The speaker is the call-boy. His tempter is Mr. Blanchard. “ Very well, sir, I’ll risk it H you are an old friend, I suppose it will be all right.” Induced to commit a breach of discipline by the bestowal of a rather potent bribe, the call-boy disappears behind a pile of scenery, and is presently heard in altercation with Miss Harebell’s dresser. “ What do you want ? Miss Harebell is not ‘a beginner.’ She is not on until the second scene. ” “I know that. Mrs. Cummins. I want to speak to you. Open the door.” Blanchard heard no more. A whispered conversation between the leading lady’s dreeser and the call-boy was immediately succeeded by the reappearance of that precocious-youth, Who said: ‘ ‘ Miss Harebell will'meet you after the performance, at her hotel, the George. She. has there. AJU you havo.ta do ia-to send in your name. An A' now, sir, do clear out of this. HOw vou v got inrl'doht know, ff Mr. Bowshhng was to stag you, wouldn’t there be a shine neither!” „ Meantime his note had produced a startling effect on Miss Harebell. It ran thus: v 41 ~

“At last I find yon. In Miss Harebell I have recognized Fanny Westbrook. At the peril of those nearest and dearest to yon, see me to night. I »m desperate.” “ Cummins,” gasped she, “ lock that door. Yon did it for the best to get rid of him. It is always convenient to dertlitie receiving a visitor at one’s hotel; but I will see him. Finish my hair and. then find Mr. Beauchamp. I would Speak with him before I go on.” Blanchard had again curiously undervalued the strength of his lovely opponent. She saw the manager and exchanged with him a few whispered words. He grasped her hand warmly by way of emphasizing his chivalric intentions in her cause.

Since the day, more than twelve months previously, that Miss Westbrook bad merged her identity in that of the now talented actress, Miss Harebell, Fanny had played many parts both off and on the stage. On this particular night she excelled herself. The applause of her crowds of admirers was what would have been termed in stage parlance “terrific.” Such was the electric force of her acting it carried all before it. Was she playing up defiantly to Blanchard? Perhaps. On the conclusion of the play, she, laden with bouquets, retired to her dressing-room, and in a few minutes had resumed, with the aid of attentive Mrs. Cummins, the attire of ordinary life. In the space of a very few minutes Miss “ Harebell” was proceeding unnoticed, save by a group of her youthful idolaters who surrounded the pit-door, under the convoy of Mr. Beauchamp, to her apartments at the George. Before ascending the staircase which led to her rooms she informed the maidservant that probably a gentleman would call upon her. If he did, she was to show him up, after having privately informed Mr. Beauchamp, whd would wait for the news in the bar-parlor, of heir’ visitor’s arrival.

Mr. Beauchamp, whose face beamed with complacent delight, nodded his approval of this arrangement. Observed Fanny to nim: “Now, Mr. Beauchamp, I shall leave you to your own devices”--—here shef&fl dulged in the timestjrkpple o£,laughts|s “ your devices, mind. “Verywell, my dear, they shall be ready if wanted.” #■ ? “ And he—” “Everything is ready, Miss Harebell, and everybody. Let that suffice ye. ** Seated in her snug little room, Fanny dreamily awaited the coming of her ancient persecutor. She had not to' wait long. “Mr. Blanchard, 'm,” announced the maid-servant, and thereupon ushered that gentleman in. <, Miss Westbrook rose, and acknowledged his elaborate bow with a silence that was full of scornful eloquence. She then resumed her seat. “Miss Westbrook, can you divihewfcy I am here T’ » “ Yes.” “ Oh, you can ? You are frank. After all, why should you not be ? Wo can spare eacteptiteirthn of r long preface of dull retrospection. After a long and painful search I, have found you—no matter how.” “I know how,” she calmly interposed. “Ah !” he exclaimed, “perhaps you would not mind enlightening me.” His tones were sneering. Her perfect equanimity put him about. “ Not at all. You got the information from my brother.’? 1 ‘ Even so. And—your brother ? Ha| he informed you also that hp Is just a« completely in my power as was another person of our acquaintance more than a year since ? Did he tell you that there is that in this bundle of papers which would give him penal servitude if I chose to put the law in operation. Did he ”

“No, Mr. Blanchard, he did not.” A tear had stolen down her cheek at the mention of Harold’s name; but now that she confronted the West Indian her eyes blazed defiance upon him. “He did not. Remove the mask. I can read the rascal underneath it. So, then, my hand bestowed on you is to be the price of your silence ccncerning my brother’s crime, if crime it be. But you have shown your claws too soon, sir; see that they are not clipped.” “ And who is to clip them ?” “I!” exclaimed a voice that came from behind the chair near which Blanchard stood, while at the same time his arms were seized in a grip of iron and wrenched violently back. “I Harold White ! Fan, take possession of those papers. ” “ So you think to trap me, do you ?” growled Blanchard, actually foaming with rage; “but you are mistaken.” “Not a bit of it,” observed obliging Mr. Beauchamp, at this moment entering by the door on the landing. Coolly turning the key and placing it in his pocket, the manager of the Easthampton Theater continued: “Now look here, Mr. Blanchard, I have stagemanaged too many little things of thiß kind not to know what’s required to strengthen the situation. I have two of my fellows handy on the stairs. My property man is on the other side of those folding doors. My friend here and myself reckon for something, to say nothing of Mrs. Harold White ”

“ Mrs. Harold White ! ” gasped Blanchard. “Yes, Mr. Blanchard,” releasing him and approaching her, “my wife. She always believed in my perfect innocence of the charge you helped to fasten bn me, and when poor, miserable Gus confessed the part which he had played in the conspiracy we got married.” “ Confessed—conspiracy !” sneeringly exclaimed Blanchard; “ where are your proofs?” “Herel” replied Harold, pointing to the papers; “and here they remain until ” “Until what?” “ Until the father of my dear wife has perused them line by line, and the magistrates of Singlebridge have made my innocence as public as a year since they proclaimed my guilt.” “ Then I may go,” said Blanchard, after a pause; and, taking for granted the consent of his temporary custodian, he stepped toward the door, which was under the janitorship of Mr. Beauchamp. That gentleman gracefully waved him back. “You may go on one condition, sir—pardon me—and it is this: that you leave for Jamaica by a certain steamer which leaves this port to-morrow. I have tonight bespoken your berth. * Pardon me if you decline, take the consequences, one of which will be the temporary occupation by yourself of a neat and commodious apartment within the precincts of Easthampton jail.” “ Open the door.” Not another word did he utter, but taking his hat and looking straight before him, he left the hotel and proceeded—not unattended—in the direction of the Jamaica boat. It was a pleasant hour or so which Mr. and Mrs. Harold White and their friend Beauchamp spent together that night. It was more than a pleasant meeting that took place a few days after in Singlebridge. Silas Westbrook’s happiness was unspeakable. There was a streak of sorrow in it, though, when he thought of his absent son, aßd prayed that the lad had turned over a new leaf at the other emLflf.JJm mnrld Lantern Xnoietij l . .I*. . , • • Maty FlAr' says that it is thought iii'lreland that Lord.

A New York poultry fancier is enedited with the statement that the first egg laid by any kind of domestic bird is (larger than those dropped afterward, and is almost certain to hatch a male of exceptional size and vigor.

About the House. Old paint pails and cans may be thoroughly cleaned with strong, hot lye. It is a good plan for a housekeeper to make a weekly visit to every part of her dwelling, from “garret to cellar.” A solution of copperas or green vitriol, sprinkled over the floor from time to time, makes a good disinfectant. A bottle of flaxseed oil, chalk and vinegar, mixed to the consistency of cream, should be kept in every house for bums, scalds, etc. Quioksilvek beaten up with the white of an egg and applied with a feather to every crack and crevice of a bedstead is the very best bug preventive. Thebe is no part of the year when cellars, in which vegetables are stored, need ventilation oftener than the present. H the cellars cannot be thoroughly aired every day, the vegetables should be removed. To clear cistern water add two ounces borax to a twenty-barrel cistern of rain-; water that is blackened or oily, and in a few hours the sediment will settle, and the water be clarified and fit for washing.

It will give bettor satisfaction if it is applied warm. It can be heated by placing the jar containing it into one filled with boiling water. By no means set it on the fire. Oatmeal. —For the past forty years, says an Englishman, I have made my breakfast of a pint of oatmeal porridge, with very rare exceptions, and nothing else, fasting for four hours afterward. If, however, I take any other form of breakfast, I find myself very hungry before the next meal, which is* never the case when I have had my porridge. I feel assured if workingmen and their families would but take a basin of oatmeal and milk porridge night and morning, with such other food as they can procure in the interval, we should have a healthier race of men and women than now exist. A few years ago I had a Devonshire girl living with me as a servant. The girl was willing enough to work, bUt had not the stamina to perform it. This I found, on questioning her, arose from the deficient and ill*advised diet on which she had been reared. She shortly began to take her porridge night and morning, and this, > with a daily midday meal of meat, enabled her to perform her duties with ease. It is surprising how much nutrition is contained in this cheap, wholesome food. *

Paddy’s Pig.

I did meet with a few extraordinary mean men in Sydney. There was one, a merchant-prince, who made it a boast that he had never given away a shilling in his life. So far as I know, he only departed from his extreme selfishness on one occasion, and the circumstances are worth relating. One morning a poor Irishman stepped into his countinghouse, and, looking the very picture of misery, said: “ Oh 1 may it please your Honor, I’ve lost a pig—the only pig I had—and misthress ——, the governess, has given me a pound, and senfme to you' for an-” ot^er''She gays youhkveenough goijid to bpy'ft (?ty Wi<s, and will be sure to ft little. 4 ”' At hid hard-flat refused; upon which Paddy shrew himseif on a stool, and raised such & piteous wail that "the merchant, thinking' he - was ; mad about the death of his pig, gave him the pound to get quit of him.

WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

cc Nov. 3, 1794. His father, Peter was a distingmehed local physician, who &B*ipitaly, andfdjßvoted much time to the culture of Ins theu profits in his beaiitiftaf ‘ ‘ Hymn|to Death, ” alludes feeluSgly to him in Ifee fines Bepnning : '-w years of age, and in his 14th yeaidais friends caused to be printed two coikmerable poems, “ The Embargo,” a psf!E--ical satire, and “ The Spanish Revolution.” These passed to a second edition the next year (1809), and in the preface

certify the production of them by a person so young, in order to remove the skepticism of the public. In his .l9th year K 6 wrote * ‘ Thahatopsis,” which Still'holds its place in general estimation as one of the most impressive poems in the lapgujjge. ,He had ,in 1810 entered Williams College, wnefe he was ebon distinguished for his attainments in language and in polite literature. At the end of two years he todk tadSflbnorable dismisßion, and engaged in the study of the law. Admitted t° the bar jji 18JJ5, lie commenced practice ip Plainfield, and afterward removed to Great Barrington. He speedily rose to a high rank in the local and State courts; blit his tastes inclined him rather to letters thpu to law. In 1817,his po§m (l Thanatopsis” was published in the Ndrtti American Review, and-introduced! him to the acquaintance of Mr. Richard H. Dana, 4ho was one of the club which then conducted the Review. He contributed, also, several prose articles to that “periodical. In 1821, he delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard College a didactic poem- on “ The Ages,” and in that year several d( his jWCms were collected in a volume at Cambridge, and obtained for him- immediate recognition as a writer of hdgh merit. He: removed to New York in 1825, and was engaged as an editor Of the New York Review, soon alter merged in the t/ni~ ted States Review, to which he contributed several criticisms and poems. In 1826 he connected himself with the Evening Post newspaper, under the editorial control of William Coleman. , At that time it was inclined to Federalism, and Mr. Bryant sought to give it more and more a Republican character. When he acquired an exclusive control of its columns, a few years later, he rendered- it,decidedly “ ground in favor of freedom of trade? and against all partial or class legislation. From 1827 to 1830 Mr, Bryant was associated with Robert C. Sands and Gulian C. Yerplanck in the editorship of the Talisman , a highly successful annual, and he contributed about the same time the tales of “ Medfield ” and “ The Skeleton’s Cave ” to a book entitled “Tales of the Glauber Spa.” In 1832 a complete edition of his poems was published in New York, and, a copy of it reaching Washington Irving in England, he caused an edition to be printed there, with a laudatory preface. It was most generously reviewed by John Wilson in Blackwood's Magazine, and from that-time Mr. Bryant’s reputation in Europe has stood as high as it does in his own country. Having associated William Leggett with himself in the management of the Evening Post, he sailed with his family to Europe in the spring of 1834, and traveled through France, Italy, and Germany, enlarging his knowledge of the languages and literatures of the leading nations. His poems bear witness to hi/s familiarity with the Spanish, Italian, German, and French languages, which he had continued to cultivate. After returning to his native country, and resuming his professional labors for some years, he went again to Europe in 1845. In 1849 he made a third visit, and extended his journey to Egypt and Syria. The letters’ written to his journal during these wanderings were published in a book called “Letters of a Traveler,” soon after his last return. But in the intervals of these foreign journeys he had by no means neglected his own country, and the same volume contains evidences of his sojourn in nearly afi parts of the United States, from Maine to Florida, and of a trip also to the island of Cuba. About 1845 he purchased “an old-time mansion,” embowered in vines and flowers, near the village of Roslyn, on Long island, where he has since resided. In 1857 and 1858 he made another journey to Europe, writing letters to the Evening, Post, which were collected under the title of “ Letters from Spain and Other Countries,” A new and, complete edition of lids poems was published in 1855, and in , 1863 a small volume of new poems appeared under the titU of “ Thirty Poems.” In 1864, on th& completion-of his 70th year, his birthday was celebrated by a festival at the Ceptury C)iub, nearly all the prominent men of the country being present, or sending complimentary letters,-which, with the proceedings, were subsequently published in a, volume. He was fpr several years engaged on a translation of Komer into English’blank verse. The “Iliad” appeared in 1870, and the “Odyssey” in 1871, and both were almost universally commended as the best English versions oi the great npige. Mr. Bryant has been frequently called upon to pay public tributes to the memory of eminent Americans. On the death of the artist, Thomas Cole, in 1848, he pronounced a funeral oration; in 1862 he delivered a discourse on the life and writings of James Fsnimore Cooper, and in 1860 he paid a similar tribute to his friend, Washington Irving; he made an address aA the life and achievements of S. F. 8,. Morse, on the occasion, of the dedication of his statne in Central Park, New York, in 1871, and addresses on Shakspeare and Scott on

Curious Fish Story.

A duck swallowed a hook on the line of a fisherman, in Augusta, Ga., recently, and the brutal man gave a'* jerk to the.line, and to his astonishment pulled off the head of the duck,' and also brought with it a twß-and*a-half-pound Catfish, which the duck had by some means shallowed. The strangest part of the affair was that the curiosity of the fisherman prompted him to try to get the fish through the mouth of the duck, but after an hour’s trial he was compelled to desist. The fish and the duck’s head, preserved in alcohol, are exhibited in a druggist’s window in Augusta. The new elevated railway in New York is patrosi , §e4 to the fullest extent.

BULLDOZED.

[An oil Man'* Straggle With a Anjea ■ „ Durham Bull. jMr. Miller Lardin, of the firm of Plfesbitt k Lardin, and a resident of FayL<jte county, Pennsylvania State, is in Ha ail regions for the first time since hi* terrible-fight for his life with an infuriated bull three weeks ago. Last fall, Mr. ’fptidih, who is a man of wealth and a Apeeial admirer of blooded stock, im’gfcoted from England a splendid 2-year-&d, short-homed Durham bull, at a cost of $2,650; also two Durham heifers, cost of $550 each. ** El Toro” was considered, not only by its owner bat all who saw him, as one of the most specimen* of his species ever taonght to this country. He was tractxtfeie, and soon became almost a pet with Tub master, who kept the two thousand tTtree hundred pound monster housed tat not tied. Mr. Lardin, who weighs <tar two hundred pounds, went into the stable for the purpose of putting a rope .through an iron ring ip the ball’s nose inpd tying him np. Placing his hand on ■the animal’s bom, Mr. L. was about to ’jßach down to seize the ring, when the «t|ll dhddeiily threw up his head, striking Mp L. just over the-left eye with S:e horn and knocking him down. Tnrng rwith all the.quioknesa of a rat terrier, the infuriated brute sprang upon the £kostrate man and attempted to gore and Sufh him to death. Luckily Mr. L. 11 dose to the wall of the stable, so "Knit the animal was unable to carry oat IBS purpose by reason of his horns striking the-side of the building. The monjallr then attempted to crush his victim 4*y kneeling upon him, but again the side of the stable prevented. This failseemed to madden him still further, and he threw his whole tremendous iseighs against the side of the building •m a attempt to once more use his horns, Fortunately the boards stood Tlye awftn-test, but one of horns struck Mr. L. on the left shoulder and passed over bjs chest until reaching the breastbone, where but for the shelter afforded by the wall a death wound must have been inftioted. - By lying as still as he could, while the bull was bunting with all his might* Mr. Lardin kept feeling cautiottsly sot the ring in the animal’s nose] when a sudden movement brought it within reach, and it was instantly seized hy the desperate man. With a qnick wrench and a death grip the bovine Sampson found himself instantly sbdrp of his strength, end the terrible ' battle ceased. With both wrists almost broken, both thumbs nearly dislocated, his body crushed and bleeding and nearly stripped of clothing, Mr. L. staggered to his feet and’led the bull out of the stable, across u lot to an eight-rail fence. Here he pulled the brute’s nose up after him as he climbed until he was ready to drop on the other side, when he let go and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

Still Happy.

For the past two weeks a Detroit druggist has put up a prescription of some kind Or other about four times a Aay.fpr a certain small boy, besides filling orders for a large variety of patent inedicines and porous plasters. The sales Were all cash, but the druggist’s curiosity was at length aroused, and he said to the lad : “ Got sickness in the family?” “Kinder,” was the reply. “Your father?” “■Yes—all but me. Ma is using the plasters for a lame side and taking the tonic for a rash which broke out on her elbows. Pa takes the troches for tickling in the throat, and uses the arnica on his shin.' Louisa uses that catarrh snuff and the cough medicine. Bill Wants the brandy for a sprained ankle, and the sqnills are for the baby. That’s all but grandma, and this prescription is to relieve the pain in her chest and make her sleep harder. ” “Rather unfortunate family,” remarked the druggist. ‘ ‘ Well, kinder; but pa says it’s cheaper than going to the seashore, and so we plaster up and swallow down, and feel purty happy after all.”— Detroit Free Press. Of course a line must be drawn somewhere. The baked missionary of the New Zealand cuisine, the underdone human thigh of the Feejee Islander, and the broiled fingers which are thought a “ dainty dish to set before the King” of Sumatra, are not to be recommended. Nor wonld a man be thought illiberal who should fail to appreciate a stew of red ants in Burman (although ants are said to have an agreeable acidity when properly prepared), parrot-pie in Rio Janeiro, roast bat in Malabar or a cuttle-fish fry in the Manrititre. James E. Blodgett was the defendant in a .Boston divorce suit. His wife accused him of habitual drunkenness. He was his own counsel, and he denied that he had ever been drunk; but he was so unmistakably drunk in court that the Judge said : ‘ ‘ You have given clear proof in support of your wife’s allegation. ”
