DEATH, AND GRANT.

as;a hii.ua vs. O Death, of terrors tbou art king! The shadow of thy sable wing Obstures the tun f yen bright sky. And dcxirntü that every man must die. Kot he alone, who toils along The highway, begging of the throng A paltry sum to lueet his needs, But kinp- and queens whoe crowned heads, Flash with the l!sht cf jewels rare, Yea, thy destroying hand is there) The peasant on his lowly rot. Lies down to sleep and he is not; A oil prince in their parent train Of glory, strive, but all in vain, To thwart thy toning thy pale hand, Has but to move ia stem command, And they bow low. Thy iron heart Fpares not the aped, and thy dart fcinks deep into the heart of youth, AVho. fired with real, with hope and truth, -Desires to live, and pleads with thee, But thy unchanging, Kern decree Demands that he must die. Young Love, W ho doth with tender passion move All hearts save thine; thou doom'st to pain, And frauty's scepter sways in vain. The bright, the fair, the brave, who crown Our hearts with gladness, thou layest down To sleep upon a common plane With frfi-'ar, whose slow steps of paiu Could reach no home, 'Keft e'ea of love W hose rest, w hose quiet was to rove. And now thy col 1, relentless hand Has touched the t-hieftan of our landlias dimmed the eye whien once did fias! With light and spirit as the crash. Of shot and shell burst on his car And told thnt bitter foes were near. ThermcpoI;c and Marathon Boast of no breve, more loyal son; Yet thy destroying, unseen hand . Ha.-t borne him to the silent land. O irant, our country's hero, dead, A Nation's tears for thee are shed; Eut dearer far than jeweled crown We hold thy honored name's renown. Thy last long siege of earth is o'er, And comrades mourn from shore to shore That thou Last füllen. Sleep, thou brave, Within the si'osce cf the grave; Thou stror.fc defender of the just, May angels guard thy sacred dust. Thou conquering hero, c'n in death Thy ha Ii1.! have grasped the victor's wreath. Redet used forever, thou canst sing: "O conquered Death, where is thy sting?" WIT AND PLEASANTRY.

Madame, 1 should be happy to stand higher in your estimation," he replied. A rural gentleman, standing ever a register in a city store, attracted some attention to hirnseif by observing to his wife: "Mariar, I guess I'm going to have a fever; I feel such hot air a-mnnin' up my legs." A half drunken Congressman once staggered up to Horace (jreeley and exclaimed, "I am a self-made man." Horace replied that he was glad to hear it, "for," said he. 'that relieves (od of a great responsibility." The old Hebrew tradition says that Adam's first wife brought forth nothing but devils.

Why, I don't think it equals either Hecker or Morris. He has no curve, you know." An Englishman has discovered that the subject of kissing is mentioned no fewer lhan fifty times in the Bible, and that kissing, to be Scriptnal, must be between mem1ts of the same sex. Such kissing may be rnriptual, but it will never become popular. The revisers should have had their attentson called to the necessity of a change in this i-artitular. Gorristown Herald.

J An Irishman tried to shoot a sparrow with an old (;uen Anne musket. He fired. The bird, with a chirp or two flew away unconcerned in the foreground, and Tat was swiftly and noiselessly laid on his spine in the background.

"He was a great temperance man, you know. Well, thirteen years ago we went to tamp at l'ortland, and Farmer Allen belonged to my command. One terrible hot day we had a clambake, and in the tent was a big barrel of campaign ptvnth, strong punch, too. Allen came along very hot and very thirsty, and looking in the tent saw the barrel of punch. "Hello, boys! get some lemonade, haven't yon?" said the old man, Yes,' replied the boys, winking at each other; 'help yourself.' The farmer went in, took one g!as, smacked Iiis lips, took another, and liked it so well that be wanted n.ore. In a little while he came out of the tent looking very rosy and very unsteady in Jus movements, He reflected a moment,

Pufialo Courier A good story was told by Captain A. Ji. ralmer, of Chicago, the other day at the reunion of the Buftalo Twenty-first Kegiment Veteran Association, and it deserves not to l-e lost. "When," said be, "a friend of rr.y peer old mother in Le Roy said to her: 'Your toy Andrew lias gone and enlisted in the Twenty-first the only boy you Lave to fjare and don't you regret it?" b'hc replied in her broad Kngfish dialect: 'Ah, no; and if 1 had only known of this thirty years ago I would have bad four or five more boys there.'

A STRANGE EPIDEMIC Ia Porter County Several Persons Have Died and Other in a Dangerous Condition Diseased 31 eat Said To De the Cause. Valparaiso, August ."k At Torter Station, a village of 300 inhabitants, twelve miles from this city, in the extreme northwestern part of the county, an epidemic is raging, which, in the last three days, has carried off five persons, leaving fifteen dangerously ill, snd about twenty-five others of whose condition the doctors can not sieak with any degree of certainty. The people of the village are mostly Swedes, of cleanly, thrifty habits, and until the present epidemic broke out amongst them they hage been remarkably healthy. About ten days ago the first symptom of this scourge made its appearance and manifested itself in vomiting and diarrhetic discharges. The doc tors are at a loss to determine the cause and were unable to prescribe any remedies to alleviate the sufferings of the patients. The afflicted stated they felt a sort of leaden weight in the stomach and bowels, which qnickly changed to the vomiting and discharges. A remarkable peculiarity observable in those who have already succumbed, isthat while they retain clear consciousness to the last, vet the eyes give forth a wild expression and the general appearance of the countenance conveys the idea cf insanity. The most irwerful drugs have failed to give temporary check to the disease. Porter is supplied with meats by butchers of Chestertown, one mile east Investigation has revealed that one meat shop there has not been kept jn a healthy condition, the night watch having stated "that on a few occasions lie could hardly pass the door from the unpleasant odor emitting. While a doctor of the town who a few days ago entered the cooling room asserted that never did he exierience a worse odor in a college dissecting room. I'nfortunately for the people of Porter it is said that it was the proprietor of this market who supplied them with the bulk of their meats. The joison which has caused the deaths so far is of an alkaloid nature. The following are the deceased: Mrs. Trowe, aged fifty; John Pearson, op;cd eighteen ; August Oustafson, aed tirelve, and two children under ten year. The rase appears to be similor to that which occurred recently at Momcnce, ju.

SOCIAL GOSSIP; South Carolina is the only State which allows no divorce. In the eye of the California law, staring at a lady is an offense. In the meanest hut is a romance, if you knew the hearts there. Ill humor often comes like chemical preparations from a retort. It is the easiest thing in the world to keep somebody's else's temjver. There is no better religion than that which teaches us to be thankful for our life, and to make the best and the most of it. Smiles and kindnesses and small obligations given habitually are what win and preserve the heart and secure comfort. An'exchamje sagely remarks that "you can't tell the age of an editor by looking at li if scissors." No, a better way is to look at his coat. The present life and the future life are not what God makes them, but what we ourselves make them. If we would have heaven in the future life, we must not build hell now. There is only one girl at Elberon who wears red stockings with her bathing dress, and the other girls cut her. Black stockings are considered in strict society the only allowable thing.

The remedy for corpulence, according to the Lancet, is in the method of eating and drinking. If we only ate more deliberately, it says, we should find half our accustomed quantity of food snfijrient to satisfy the most eager cravings of hunger.

It is related as a commendable trait of the President that he never sucks his whisky through a straw, but takes it down at a gulp. The l'resident is doubtless right.

At last the bride dropped, at a time when every eye was upon her, a newspaper; he let her pick it up fatal mistake, for from her bonnet, as she stooi-ed, fell a shower of rice that had been thrown on them for good luck. Some of the people were mean enough to laugh out loud.

A statement in the Ontario Forestry report shows that the right way to transplant tine trees is to take them up early in the spring, and keep the roots encased in a frozen ball of earth, to be removed ith the tree.

Between ordinary rain and thunder rain the only difference "is the more abundant development of electricity in what has received the name of thunder rain. Generally the raining cloud must be regarded as a constantly flowing source of electricity. There can be no lightning without rain and thunder. The so-aild "harvest lightning" is merely a distant storm. Prof. Tromholt, in Norway, has met with Krtial success in photographing the aurora realis, a feat which his nianv failures had led him to pronounce iniossible. After exIrsing a plate for eight and a half minutes he secured a negative of an aurora, but the impression is so very faint that it cannot be reproduced as a iositive. The Glasgow Philosophical Society has demonstrated tiuit at about 122 degrees below zero, Fahrenheit, the flesh of animals becomes so hard as to ring like porcelain when struck, and also to be capable of being crushed to a fine jowder. Microbes, however, living in the fltsh before freezing, have been found alive when thawing took place, after an exposure of 2o0 hours to this intense cold. A forcible illustration of the w'eight of the atmosphere was given by Professor S. P. Langley, the American astronomer, in a recent lecture in Ixnidon. He remarks that the air, so limpid tha'; it scarcely appears to be matter at all, is so enormous in mass that it really presses with nearly a ton to each square foot, so that the weight of all the buildings in the world's metropolis, for instance, is less than that of the air above them. The celebrated old Moorish edifices Pena Caste and the Royal Palace, at (.'intra, Portugal, have recently been connected by telephone by the Edison-Gower Bell Company in Europe. As the castle is situated on the summit of precipitous rocks, and surrounded by considerable timber, it was a matter of some difficulty to make the connection. The rather novel method employed was entirely successful. Pockets, with thin cords attached, were fired over the intervening rocks and trees, and this communication established, the line wire was. easily drawn into place. A well known physician in British India wants to make criminals, who have been sentenced to death, useful as subject! of experiment, for the purpose of ascertaining how to treat cholera successfully. He would take any prisoner under sentence of death who gave his consent, experiment upon him, and if the experiment itself did nt t result fatally, spare the prisoner's life. As the number of capital convicts in British India is between .100 and 400 a year, there would probably be plenty of candidates for the chance of escape thus afforded. GRANT'S REAL NAME. An Old Letter From His Father Which Tells How He Wui Given It. Hartford (Conn.) Times. Mr. Richard A. Wheeler, of Stonington, is much interested in genealogical matters, and twenty years ago, when he was engaged in gathering statistics regarding the Grant family in Connecticut, he wrote to Mr. Jese R. Grant, father of General ( Jrant, who was at that time living in Covington, Ky., and from him obtained some important facts. The letter is now in the possession of the Hon. Charles J. Hoadley, rotate Librarian. One curious revelation made by Mr. Grant is concerning the adoption of the name of Ulysses for his son. It has been generally understood that the name given him by his iarents was Hiram Ulysses, and that the Congressman who obtained his appointment at West Point madea mistake in having his name apjear on the cadet roll as Ulysses t1. Grant, but his father tells a different story, which is now made public for the first time. He says, in writing for Mr. Wheeler in 1SS5: "In June, 1S21, Mr. J. R. Grant and Miss Hannah Simpson were married and settled at Point Pleasant, O. On the 27th of April, IS 22, their first child was born. As usually the case with the first, tin re w as a good deal of anxiety about selecting a name for the child. It was finally settled that the half a dozen names selected by the family should be all put in a hat, and the first drawn should be the name. Ulysses was drawn, and his mother's maiden name (Simpson) adopted for the middle name." l'roceeding furthert Mr. Grant writes in detail concerning his son, and gives these particulars of his early life: "In very early life Ulysses showed a great aptness for business, which he executed with great energy and prom fitness. He also had a great fondness for horses, with great skill and judgment in their management. Such was his skill and tact in the handling of horses that it 'was said when quite a small boy he'rwculd take a team that refused to pull for the owner an experienced driver and in a few minutes it" would start off as if nothing were the matter. He was very fond of school, and whvn he aUeudcd ltaxnea rapidly, and"

eecially such studies as involved mathematics. Ulysses was of a quiet, modest, unassuming turn of mind, and yet in all his intercourse with his playfellows he was universally and by common consent made their leader. At seventeen years cf age Ulysses suggested a desire to oe educated in preference to following the tanning business. I suggested to him AVest. Point, which fully met his views. Although there was supposed to be no vacancy from the district, I wrote to Hon. Thomas L. Hamer, who then represented the district, asking him it he could get him in on some other vacant district. The letter was received the last day of Mr. Himers term, and it happened the district wa. vacant by the failure of the cadet previously appointed. Mr. Hamer then directed the appointment of Ulysses, and he went immediately on, )assed"an examination, and was admitted a cadet." Mr. HoadJy has in his possession another autograph letter of Jesse R. Grant, in which be goes into matters of a more private nature and not of ublic interest. In this letter he mentions that he was named after Judge Jesse Root, of Coventry, who was an intimate friend of his father. Judge Root (as many Connecticut readers know) was a Judge oi the Superior Court and Chief Justice in 1700. He was a member of the Continental Congress in 1780-tl, and his own copy of the record of proceedings, with two of his autograph signatures one on the cover and the other on the title page is another of Mr. Hoadly's collections. The State Librarian has also a pagc of manuscript an inventory in the handwriting of Matthew Grant,(and including his signature) the first American successor of General Grant, who settled in Windsor in Bi'J.3. The inventory was made up in 1078.

When I had been Riven up to die, my physicians, who had seen the workings of the medicine in other caso. thought it would be a splendid time to test the virtues of Swift's Specific. When I commenced taking S3, si. s. the physician said I could not live two weeks under the ordinary treatment. He commenced to jrivc me the medicine strk-tly according to directions, which 1 continued fcir several months. I took nothing else, and commenced to improve from the first.
