FFor the Saturday Evening Mail.] A SKETCH IN RHYME.

Close by the fire that hitter cold day, Our customers Mood while they traded And shivered, and scorchcd, and lingered, and wished

ies."

That to leave home they'd not been pe£ sanded. Out In the utreet, the wind and the sleet

Whistled, and shrieked, and grumbled While with low bent heads, rubbing blindly along.

People slipped, and Jostled, and stumbled.

The door wa* opewxl—the wind rushed in Icily cold, ana In pittileae mood— And a wee wrnall boy with an old, old face,

Stepped timidly up to where I stood HIH clothe# were old, and mournfully thin HIK little bare hand# were cold and blue, And bin Hlight little frame trembled with cold,

A* he touchingly ankcd me for "something to do."

As he stood tx-fore me with cap in htmd. And lx*gged me for "work, and said he wan "strong:" The words "feed my sheep," csune to my soul,

Plaintive and sweet as an old love song. From my heart came a sigh that was more 5 than half tears,

He raised in wonder his big gray eves Tasked of his mother, as, what did she do, -He answered me sadly, "she sews and

"She cries for my father who was killed In the war She cries for my sister —she's ten years old: She erii* 'isauift? she's sick, and tired and poor

And oecnnse we're often hungry and cold She says tliul J. nut Is sorry for us,

And she thinks that He'll help us 'fore long, But if not, when we die He'll take us to ,, Heaven,

If we do not do things that are wrong."

"My name, sir?—its Eddie—Eddie DarnellYes, at Gettysburg lather was killed." "I knew him," I cried, "I fought by his side

All that day 'till his life-blood was spilled. And you are his boy that be spoke of that morn,—

Come! take me at onec to your mother! We talked of this once may God help me now

In actingthe part of a brother."

I romt-mberal then, as I turned to go, A business engagement made for this hour A matter of money a question of gain

A thing to detain me perhaps an hour, Walt for me

here,

I said to the boy,

I'll return with all speed that I may, We'll then seek your mother, and take her ....... such news,

As will pay her for all this delay, I hastened out, and for full two hours Was deeply ennros^ed in this scheme of mviown, And 'twas dark, when ftt last I stepped in the street

When I reached the store, the poor boy was gone He left mo word that he'd "waited 'till dark,

And was sorry he had to go then, But. mother was sick, and hewn*go home Hut he'd come in the morning, again."

The morning came, as others have come To anxious watchers looking In vain For a second chance, at something oner slighted,—

A good that has passed—to come again. The7x»y came not, and I sought for him In the haunts of the poor, from door to door, And of Ktid'-rlng and sorrow, I saw such sights,

As I had not believed In the world before.

To a little old attic, up four flights of stall's, I cllmbiMl at last, and opened the door. "Eddie!" I called, and startled rat

Ban by my feel across the the floor. My God! what Is this, Dead all dead? I groaned as I saw where they lay: Mother, and children, frozen last night,

And a "business engagement" kept mt away.

Oh that desolate room! the empty grati! »(The handful of nigs and bed of straw! A mother may starve, and her children may freexe

HUH, SHU In this land of order, and law. The cold baro wnlls ifa^ the.cold barelloor •s Is'is apMiVre I'll always see ken windows, and drifted sriow, hreo frozen faces accusing me.

SELECTIONS FROM THE DRA WER HA I'ER'S MA OA ZINE FOR MA Y.

THE character of a pooplo mar bo known by ltn wlvertisomonts. In a certain enterprising town of PoniMtylyunla, for example, in tlie "local item" department, appears the following gracious hint:

Our popular "host," Captain Harte In order to cuter to the wants of his friends, has made arrangements to supply them with Ioe-eream every Saturday evening. Those in vtiU ut thin th iicioii 1U VAI.VK Irill

to call. In the same organ of public opinion appeared, recently, an editorial notice of a certain mammoth swine just Hlaughlered bv a Mr. Tho following is the concluding sontonco: "Those who wish to look at a lat hog should .scr Mr, before going elsewhere" S 4

Jt\ the early days of tho gold excitojuent in California a young (ionium of Detroit, Michigan, left for tho land of gold, where lie still resides. IIo rejoiced in tho name of John G. AlinondInger. After a little while, in order to Aihericaniae hlm^olt a little, ho applied the Ijogislatufro of California, and had his name clumped to John U. Almond and doiihtlOHs by this time there are lots of little Almonds on that ranch of his at San Jose. After his name was changed ono John Smith ("ctarurn ef veurrabife, etc.) applied to tho same Legislature, and after reciting a long catalogue of the ills to which ho w«a sutycctod owing to hla peculiar name, add ml: And whereas I havo noticed that vou hare curtailed tho name of J. (J. Almondingcr to J. O. Almond, aud have not disposed of the 'inger,' which seoms to belying around loose, I reaped fully renuest that it may be added to niv uimie."

What the result was is not stated. It ought to have iwen successful. Smithinger would havo been good. "Smithing cv!

ying to the county tax of live dolis permitted to practice before justices of the pea?, numbers among its member* a gentleman of color munod Moss, who.ny dint of spelling at tho big words, can read, after a fashion, and make a certain hftoroglrphic scrawl with a pen that he considers writing. Like necessity, ho knows no law. The United States revenue collector demanded of Ijawytrr Moss that he should] pay to our grasping avuncular relative

a tax of ten dollars for tho privilege of practicing law. Moss, doubtless thinking this a palpable violation of the Fifteenth Amendment, or at least, of the Enforcement act—and really it may be —paid no attention to the collector's demand whereupon a warrant was issued against Mr. Moss charging him with "practicing law without having paid to the United States the special tax on lawyere." The deciple of Coke and Blaekstone—names suggestive of our hero's color, etc.—was arrested and brought before United States Commissioner Noah. Pie jjmd sense enough to employ a lawyer—ww is something of a wag—who got h1«*lient discharged on the ground that "wfial Moss practiced, before justices of the peace was not law but an indescribable something nameless, and wholly unknown to the law."

It is needless to say that this decision of the Commissioner meets with the unanimous and enthusiastic approval of tho bar, as being in accordance with the law and facts of the case. And more, Lawyer Moss" is said to be well pleased with the decision, regard ing his defense as highly creditable to his counsel, and not dreaming that it in any way reflects upon himself.

SOME years ago a gentleman living in one of the frontier towns of a far Western State had some friends staying with him. to whom he gave a little dinner—the best the placo could furnish—and invited to meet them a few half-civilized Indians. Of course the "noble red men" were treated to delicacies they had not seen before, and displayed a perhaps excusable inclination to "go tnrough" tho bill of fare. A voung chief, who had partaken of nearly every thing on the table, had been eyeing the mustard lor some time, no doubt thinking that such a pretty paste would taste as good as it looked. At length, opportunity appearing, he reached forth in a dignified manner, took a liberal spoonful, and swallowed it without moving a muscle of his countenance, but in spite of his utmost exertions, tho tears soon streamed down his cheeks. An aged chief opposite to him, who had been watching the whole proceeding, leaned forward and inquired what he was crj'ing for. He replied,

I was thinking of my poor old father, who died a short time ago." Soon afterward tho "aged," being unable to restrain hii curiosity, also solemnly took a dip from the hiustard-pot, and swallowed it without tho quivering of a musclo but his eyes were not as strong as his will, and the little cries soon trickled down his cheeks. It was now the young red man's turn. Leaning forward ho inquired the cause of the grief, to which tho oldcrly red party replied, I was thinking 'twas pity you hadn't died when your poor old father did."

Pretty good, but we guess 'twasn't an Indian who said it. H,Xl

Another anecdote of Mr. Webster comes from a correspondent at Galveston, Texas, who writes as follows:

In looking overan old note-book of mv father's, written many years ago, I came across an anecdote, which, if it has never appeared in print before, is too good to be lost. While John Branch of North Carolina, was General Jackson's Secretary of tho Navy, he, Tazwoll, and Daniol Wobstorworo walking on tho north bank of the Potomac, at Washington. Tazwell, willing to amuse himself with Branch's simplicity said, "Branch, I'll bet you a ten-dollar hat that I can prove that you are on the other side of tho river."

Done," said Branch. Well," said Tazwell, pointing to the opposite shore, "isn't that one side of the river v*' "Yes."

Woll, Isn't this tho other sidel" Yes." Then us you are here are you not on the other side

Why, I declare," said poor Branch, so it Is! But hero comes Webster. I'll win back tho hat from him."

Webster had lagged behind, but now camo up, and Branch accosted him Webstor, I'll bet you a ten-dollar hat that. I can prove that you are on the other side ot tho river."

Done!"

tlo well

"Woll, isn't this on« sido "Yes/' Well isn't that the other side?"

Yes, but I am not on that side." Branch hung his head, and submitted to the loss of tho.two huts.as quietly as ho could.

THE following is a Western instaneo of tho "ruling passion strong in death:" Squire W was very fastidious in his notions of propriety" At weddings and funerals ho was quite officious, and verv particular that everything should bo clono decently and in order. In due time ho was taken ill—fatally so—and relatives and lriends were gathered around Ins bed, sad and weeping. One of those, more thoughtful than the rest, asked tho departing squire if he would havo a clergyman called in to pray with him: to which ho replied: "Well, yes I think it would be appropriate."

How is this poetical ono of King William's dis'pi ic

rotal

could read, and asked "What kind o' church is dat C. H. Church? What does do C. U. •-'and for? lat'8 what wo want to know At length a bright thought Idenly .ft ruck one of them, and he exclaimed: "I know what dat 'ero stan' for wonder why I didn't sc« it 'fore 1 Dat C. U. stand for Offered de Colored Baptist Church dat'a what it is! It went by thitt name for some time, until the owners, annoyed by tho too frequent jokes about it, erased the initials, and instead painted Varlrs R. ChnrcA in fUll.

[From Darwin's Decent of Man.J THE DREAD OF THE MONKEY TOWARD SNAKES.

Brehm gives a curious account of the instinctive dread which his monkeys exhibited toward snakes but their curiosity was so great that they could not desist from occasionally satiating their horror, in a most human fashion, by lifting up the lid of the box in which the snakes were kept. I was so much surprised at his account, that I took a stuffed and coiled-up snake into the monkey-house at the Zoological Gardens, and the excitement thus caused was one of the most curious spectacles which I ever beheld. Three species of Cercophitheous were the most alarmed the3'' dashed about their cages and uttered sharp signal cries of danger, which were understood by the other monkeys A few voung monkeys and one old Anubis baboon alone took no notice of the snake. I then placed the stuffed specimen on the ground in one of the larger compartments. After a time all the monkeys collected round it in a large circle^ and staring intently, presented a most ludicrous appearance. They became extremely nervous so that when a wooden ball, with which they were familiar as a plaything, was accidentally moved in tho straw, under which it was partly hidden, they all instantly started away. These monkeys behaved very differently when a dead fish, a mouse, and some other new objects were placed in their cages for though at first frightened, they soon approached, handled and examined them. I then placed a live snake in a paper bag, with the mouth loosely closed, in one of the larger compartments. Ono of the monkeys immediately ap-

{ittle,

roached,

cautiously opened the bag a peeped in and instantly dashed away. Then I witnessed what Brehm has described, for monkey after monkey, with head raised high and turned on one side, could not resist taking momentary peeps into the upright bag, at the drea"dful object lying quiet at the bottom. It would almost appear as if monkeys had" some notion of zoological affinities, for those kept by Brenm exhibited a strange, though mistaken, instinctive dread of innocent lizards and frogs. An orang, also, has been known to be much alarmed at the first sight of a turtle.

TIIK natural enmity to the tax-gath-erer is as prevalent in Nowton County Missouri, as elsewhere. A well-to-do German farmer camo into the village a few days since to pay his taxes. His bill was handed to him, itemised thus: state tax .$14 23

LitYCE,

THE

of olden timesin this county

was thus told us by Clerk Wallace: Many years ago there was an old hardened wretch living in the county, wicked beyond Presbyterian hope—"onrv," dilapidated licentious and drunken. One day he was attracted to a camp-meet-ing, and, drunk as he was at once became interested in the minister's fervid appeal for sinners to turn and seek salvation. The old man still had a good streak left in his depraved carcass and as tho speaker preached and exhorted in the good old impassioned, eloquent style, tho tears rolled down the aged sinner's cheeks, and his drunken form shook with emotion. Finally tho minister closed with tho appeal,''Come forward all you low, God-forsaken sinners come, just now." The old wretch could stand it no longer, and slinging his "wninus" he yelled, "Clar the track! clar the track! Here I come! a poor, God^forsaking d—n s—n of a h! Stand from under!" Tho preacher met him, gavo one look and then said, "Brethren, let us look to the Lord and be dismissed!, He evidently thought, from the looks of the old sinner, that he told tho truth, and that it was time to go.— Indianapolis Sentinel.
