And what do I think of New York? 1
‘And now, in my higher ambition.
With whom do I waltz, Art, or talk!
And wvt it nice to have riches,
And diamonds bnd silks, and all
that?”
And aren’t it a change to the ditchta

Well, yes -if you saw ns out driving
Each day in the park, four-in-band,
If you saw poor mamma contriving
To look Buperoalurally grand—
If yon saw paiia’s picture, as taken
By Brady, and tinted at that,

And flour at Poverty Flat

In the bustle and glitter befitting
The “finest soiree of the year.
In the mists of a gmt de chumbery.
And the hum of the smallest of talk.
Of Harrison’s barn, with the muster
Of flags festooned over the wall;
Of the candles that sbed their soft

And tallow on head-dress and shawl;
Of the steps that we took to one fiddle;
Of the dress of my queer vf s-a-cis;
And how I once went down the mid

To think as I stood in the glare
Of fashion, and beauty, and money,

MONA PAUL DU CHAILLU’S ADVEN
TURES IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS—A
MODEL PEOPLE AMD THEIR *
DEMOCRATIC KING.
Mont. Paul B. DnChaQln lectured
in the Bev. Dr. Doryea’s church,
Brooklyn, on Thursday, He said that
be grew tired of the equator and went
to 71 degrees 50 seeconds north lati
tude, where for three months the sun
not set Ht continued: The
Swedes and Norwegians are fine peo
ple ; the country the grandest I have
over travelled in. There are eviden
ces that it was once covered with ice.
The mountain rocks are smooth from
this cause, and the valleys show the
effects ot ice floes. In May, Jane and
July the sun shines all the time. It
is a slander to call the Scandinavians
barbarous. They are civilized—all
road aud write. They are compelled
by law to attend school. Their reli
gious faith is Protestant They
esteem their churches highly, and re
vere their graveyards. When a man
dies his body is interred iq a grave
yard, if it has to be carried one hun
dred miles. The people are honest
aud moral. I was never robbed of a
cent, though witli them three years;
why, the women put their jeweby in
my room to show they were.
• / NOT AFRAID OF ME.
When in Stockholm I had a desire
to see the King, so I wrote to the Se
cretary of State. I was politely
informed that his majesty had gone
visiting, but would return in two days.
When he arrived, I was invited to
call ou him. 1 went to the palace ex
pecting to see soldiers, infantry, .cav
alrymen and artillerymen; but there
was only one soldier, and be did not
even ask me where I was going, or
what I wanted. I went up stairs un
challenged; and at length inteceplcd
a servant by whom I was directed
where to find the King.
“Good morning, M said he.
“Good morning,” I responded.
And this was our introduction. In
less than three minutes he asked me
to have a cigar, and then showed my
books, which had been translated. I
felt proud; it was an honor to have
them in his language. He asked mo
to como and spend the next day with
him. I went and roamed through the
palace in search of its owner. Finally
I halloed, ”Ia there any one about?”
and succeeded in arousing some one
who pointed me to a room. I entered
it, and fonnd the King just putting on
his coat He hdfc been at work pain
ting. I was hospitably entertained.
When about leaving I requested some
of his portraits to give to the girls in
Brooklyn. He pleasantly complied,
writing on them, at my solicitation,
his autograph. “Now,” said he laugh
ing, “you must send me some portraits
of.Brooklyn girls.” I thought he was.
A SPLENDID MAN.

this custom is not allowed, and you

speak French, English and Gorman.
I find that th6 horses wont carry
you up hill. When they reach the
foot of one they look around to see
yon quit the carriage, if von don’t
they stop. The people are never in
a hurry. I went into a church and
saw a dub lying on the pulpit I en
quired its use. “When my congrega
tion get asleep I pound on the pnlpit
with that to wake them,” was the an
swer. There was also a polo eight
to ten feet long, which, I was told, the
sexton kept to poke into the ribs of
sltepers for the second offence. I can,t
understand how they gel asleep. The
seats are uncomfortable, about six
inches wide, straight in the back, with
narrow ridges to keep your heads
straight, and they never have fire in

KISS ALL THE GIRLS THEY MEET
on Uie streets. There are church
yards six hundred years old that
have no tombstones. The people are
exceedingly leligions. Every house
has a Bible or a book of psalms,
saw numbers of men and horse-back
loads of good things going into a boose
one day, and concluded it must be a
wedding. “Where is the bride?” I
asked. “ Tian’t that,” was answr-ed.
"The man has lost bis wife, and they
are holding the funeral jollification.”
These jollifications are continued tor
days.
At lastl got lo the Land of the Mid

the first night and remained there
nearly seven weeks. It bothered me
to know when to go to bed. I discov

At length I reached 71 degrees 50
minutes, the espe, the northern end
ofEmopo. The coast of Norway is
magnificent its harbors lined with
steamboats; its mountains, high and
grand, are coverd with glaciers; its
waters so clear that the bottom of the
sea is discernible. Sweden bears no

Well, ask pspa.” “No, never mind

And he went around telling everybody
he saw, “I’m going to many that

The preparations continued daring

that is an error. The country is il

The New Baby Washer.—The
Pall-Mall Gazette is a firm believer in
the story that an invention is read}
for parents which acts as follows:—
Yon simply Insert the begrimmed and
molasses colored infant in an orifice,
which can be made of any required
size. By turning for ten minutes a
cog-wheel with electric attachments,
the child glides genUy down a highly
polished plane; his lips are met at iu
terminus by an India-rubber tube/rom
which the infant can draw lacteal
nourishment. While in this compart
ment, which Is lined with plate-glass
mirrors, the perturbed spirit of the
inftnt is soothed by iu frantic efiorU
to demolish its own image, reflected
in the glass with a nickle combined
teeth-entter, nail knife, rattle, and
tack hammer, which are thrust into
the baby’s hand by an automatic
monkey. Fatigued by iu destructive
efforts, the infant falls asleep, while
the organ attachment plays softly the
melody of “Pot Me in My Little Bed.’
Then it slips into the third compart
ment. - Here the baby is washed,
Another small tube administers a dote
of toothing syrup, and the infont
glides from the machine, ite

habiliments rendered necessary by
the foil of oar first parents.

Several similar Instances have been
reported. Men should be careful in
speaking of anything sacred.
The Danbury News states that a
New Haven editor spent last Sunday
in Slawson and attended church.—
When the contribution-box came
around he was in a doze, but, on be
ing nudged, hastily exclaimed, ‘I have
a pass.’
Truss Off.—Owing to a recent
change in the schedule on the South
westen railroad, (night line) no
trains will ran on either Tuesday,
Friday or Saturday night Busi
ness men and travelers should make
a note of this.

Getting to Bleep.—We have
tried many experiments to induce
sleep. The very best method we have
yet discovered is that of counting.—
Breathe deeply and slowly (without
any straining effort,) and with every
respiration count one, two, three, etc.,
up to a hundred. Some persons will
be asleep before they count fifty in
this manner. Others will count ten,
twenty, -or thirty, and then forget
themselves and cease counting. Very
few persons can count a hundred and
find themselves nwako; but should
this happen, repeat the dose until
cored.—Science of Htal h.
A dutchman who in a fit of passion
was swearing terribly, was reproved
by a church deacon, who chanced to
over hear him.
‘Why do you swear so, Hans?”
Raid the deacon, ‘don’t you know that
it is very wicked?’
‘Yaw, I know it was wicked.”
*Do you know,’ said the deacon, anx

teachings, ‘do you know who died

A Tribute to Confederate Sol
diers.—The New York Sun, in tak
ing strong grouod against the increase
of the United Slates army, compares
the material of the Union amy during
the late war with that of the Confed
erates, and says:
“The quality ol the Confederate
soldiers effectually disposes of the plea
that it is necessary to keep the regu
lar army as a nucleus. On the Union
side was the entire rank and fl!o of
the old army. Of that force the rebels
had only officers. The Confederate
rank and file was composed wholly of
raw men, and, in the first two years
of the war, volunteers. Yet what an
infantry they were! Those of os who
saw tbem charge in line ol battle nev
er approach a Confederate cemetery
without taking off oar bats in homage
to the devoted braves who ever walked
straight into the jaws of death with
out blenching.”
