CORNER^
THE VOYAGER.
BY C. V. MACSACOUTOS.
A bright-eyed boy set out one day—
“My boat,” said he, “too long reposes;
The morn of life is genial May,
i But June brings forth its fairest roses ;
To yonder shore I long to flee;
My boat and I are light and free.”
Upon tlic tide he speeds away ;
Laughs at the thought of age and sorrow—
Feels that for him this sunny day
Will melt into as bright a morrow ;
Could these fond hopes but live and last—
But ah ! the little boat moves fast.
The blossoms from the earth’s green breast
To life and light are sweetly springing,
Around the summer’s sheeny crest
The birds of song are blithely singing ;
While joys his silly heart beguile,
The little boat speeds many a mile.
Our pleasures are not made to last,
The brightest links are often parted ;
The boy looks round into the past
To see the place from which he started ;
But not a thing his childhood knew
The little boat has left in view.
He looks above, the beaming sun
Is moving in his noontide glory,
And all the trophies he has won
Are wrapped in life’s ideal story ;
The stream of time is rough and high,
The little boat moves swiftly by.
And now he tastes the cup of care,
But though the waves are dashing fleetly,
The flowers still bloom, but not as fair ;
The birds still sing, but not as sweetly ;
The treasures that he seeks to find
The little boat oft leaves behind.
He seeks at last a land of rest,
Dreams of a home among liis fathers ;
The sun is sinking in the west,
The mist of eve around him gathers ;
His palsied arm resigns the oar,
The little boat obeys no more.
So speeds away the tide of time ;
raiewell, old n> Bowed uown
He goes unto a mystic clime,
And he will reach it on the morrow ;
In darkness now the boat and guide
Are lost upon a boundless tide.

As Louis Burger, the well known
author and philologist, was wa king in
the Avenue des Champs Elysees one
day, he heard a familiar voice exclaim
ing: <l Buy some nuts of a poor man,
sir; twenty for a penny!” He looked
up, and recognized his old barber.
“ What! are you selling nuts ?” said
he.
“ Ah, sir, I have been unfortunate.”
“ But this is no business for a man
like you.”
“ Oh, sir, if you could only tell me
of something better to do,” returned
the barber with a sigh.
Burger was touched. He reflected
a moment; then tearing a leaf from his
memorandum-book, he wrote for a few
moments and handed it to thf titan say
ing, “ Take this to a printing office and
have a hundred copies struck off; here
is the money to pay for it. Get a li
cense from the Prefecture df Police,
and sell them at two cents a copy, and
you will have bread on the The
strangers who visit Paris cannot refuse
this tribute to the name of God printed
in so many different ways.”
The barber did as he was bid, and
was always seen at the entrance to the
Exposition, selling the following band

A few days after Burger met the
barber.
“ Well,” said he, “ lias the holy name
of God brought you good luck ?”
“ Yes, indeed, sir. I sell on an
average a hundred copies a day at two
cents each, or two dollars; but the
strangers are generous ; some give me
ten cents and others twenty. I have
even received half a dollar for a copy,
so that, all told, I am making five dol
lars a day.”
“ Five dollars a day V
“Yes, sir, thanks to your kindness.”
“ Ah!” thought Burger, as he walked
away, “if I were not a literary tjian I
would turn peddler or publisher; there
is nothing so profitable as seiiing the
learning or wit of others !”

—No enjoy ment, however incon

Don Piatt on Funerals.
I consider our funerals a remnant of
barbarism that ought to go out with
the twin relics. When one dies, and
the little household is stricken with
grief, there comes the hour that makes
privacy a necessity. We instinctively
shrink from the gaze of the world.—
That moment is seized upon for the
undertaker to introduce, under the
name of friends of the deceased, all the
neighborhood. The remains of one
once so dear to the grief striken family
receive an ovation from heartless curi
osity and hypocritical ceremony, and
while one hack, as I have said, will
generally carry out all the grief that
really follows the body to the grave, a
loog string of carriages, hired at an
enormous expense, are filled with peo
pie who care little for the departed
when alive, and less now that he or she
is dead. They go to the grave talking
politics in a subdued tone, and return
hilarious, from the reaction that follow.-
self restraint. It is but a beastly busi
ness and ought to be done away with
at an early day.
The cost attending these funerals is
of itself sufficient reason for their be
ing abolished. Many a poor family is
actually left without bread in this ab
surd attempt to make a brief show of
respect to the dead. No one is bene
filed but the undertaker, and the profii
accruing to him front this hollow, ub
surd ceremony, gives us reasons t<
terminate it at once. Heavy specula
tions at any time are disagreeable ; but
when the speculator sits on the coffin
and preys on the dead, we ought to bt
horrified.
The young bride, as I have said, was
actually buried in the dress she wore
when married —veil, orange blossoms,
white satin, and all. The corpse made,
under the circumstances, a ghastlj
It.n. inn a pleasant thing to
I, u~T w ’W . lTirv*- 'nrttz-n 43—,-
ter had this show beeu dispensed with.,
I would have liked it better if thi
whole crowd had been turned from the
door, and no one left to the burial ser
vice but those who with tearful eye
alone were fit for it. But then, thesi
are ultra notions, and shocking to the
apDroved tastes of the company. Hired
hacks, with dirty drivers, will form long
processions, carrying people who cared
nothing for the deceased, and ending
only in profits for the undertaker.
When a stupidity of this sort gets hold
of the beloved people, it is astonishing
with what tenacity it clings and lives.
I never met with a man or woman who,
when reasoned with, did not concur
with me in this condemnation of funeral
ceremonies ; and yet, each in turn has
tens to assist, or get up, something of
this sort.

their rooms last evening. Gabe Min*

He announced the object of the as*,

case of a member who had indulged in

The offense was unanimously re

the punishment should be severe.
“ It’s a bully good opportunity to
make an apalling example,” said oDe.
“ A gallus chance,” said another.
“ We certainly ought to bounce him

“Any gentleman that is guilty of
such a remark should catch fits,” ejacu
lated a fourth,
“ lie should have a roof put on him,”
interpolated a fifth.
“Yes, a regular mansard,” thun
dered a sixth.
“Give us a rest,” interrupted the

it a sawbuck, boys. That’s oysters and

“ Korreckt,” exclaimed the mem

Lift* of a Printer.
The following strange, eventful
record of a journeyman printer’s
life is taken from a journal, which
paper asserts it correct to the let
ter. Itdevelopes what a man can
do if he likes, and what queer, en
terprising, and unselfish fellows the
majority of printers are:
“The life of a printer is, to say
the least, one of variety. I left
home at the age of nine, and was
apprenticed to the printing busi
ness at thirteen ; since then I have
visited Europe, been in England,
Ireland, Scotland, Wales and
Fnnce, in Canada, Nova Scotia,
Labrador, South America, West
Indies, and all the Atlantic States
of the Union, from iVlaine to Louis
iana—have lived in twenty-seven
cities and towns of the United
States. I have been a sailor in
the merchant service, and have
sailed in all manner of craft—ship,
barque, brig, schooner, sloop and
steamer—in the regular army as a
private soldier, deserted and got
shot in the leg. I have studied
two years for the ministry, one
year for an M. P., traveled thiV
all the New England States, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania
and Virginia, as a journeyman
printer, generally with little else
than a brass rule in my pocket. I
have been the publisher of three
papers—two in Massachusetts and
one in Maine. At one time I had

it being constructed of iron and
weighing five hundred pounds. It
is found by experiments made with
cars provided w’ith this device that
the arrangement insures perfect se

so estimated that, on account of
the additional strength which such

of the 104th Pennsylvania Regiment,
at Doylestown, Pa . their former com
mander, Gen. W. II- H. Davis, in the
course of his address to them, said :
“ Rut while laying a tribute on the
graves of our dead, we can afford to
drop a tear for the dead of the other
side. They were our countrymen, and
we should feel proud of their gallant
deeds. Their courago and fortitude
developed the highest type of Ameri
can character, and in all the best quali
ties of a soldier the Confederate gray
proved himself the Deer of the Union

charity towards them, when we remem

Washington and Jefferson would have
no greater claim to the name of patriot
than Lee or Stonewall Jackson.”
