[From tho Hearth and Home.]
Tin* Troublesome Baby.
The little one clings to the mother,
With kieses that softly fall,
But somehow tho troublesome baby
Is nearest her heart of all;
Sick, anil fretful, aud small,
Bet dearest to mother of all!
The neighbor’s wonder and pity,
Hearing its qu**relou cry.
"She is losing her youth nad beauty,"
Say frieuds as they pass her by.
"Well, were the balie to die,
■‘Ami the mother rest," they sigh.
Rosy and round and dimpled,
Dewy with childish sleep,
She tucks in her other darlings,
Whom angels watch and keep,
Ah! if a darker angel
Anear this treasure creep !
Bless thee, beautiful mother!
Thy heart hath a place for all
Room fov the joys and the sorrows,
However fast they tall;
Room for the baby small,
That may l®ve thee best of all!
hope.
Hope has the power of soaring with
a strong and untiring pinion from all
that is dark and drear, into the radient
at*uophero of poetry. It takes us
into a world of dreams, and causes the
heart to wander amongst visions. It
unfolds a dazzling scroll, and shows
us engraven on it a l immortal name.
Its holy task is to exhibit to us, even
when caro surrounds us, and we are
treading along a harsh paths a time of
dizzy joys, and to change into bright
enchantment the stern realities of actual
life. Nor do the strength of its dreams!
tho nobleness of its desires, and the
beauty of its thoughts, cease to actuate
and influence our hearts even when
life grows pale and wane fast, when w e
turn our thoughts from earth to heaven
on the couch of sickness, aud when
the faint voice and fainter pulse speak
in warning whispers of a time to die.
It boldly walks, with us prompting
the spirit never torepine from tlio cradle
to the grave.
We all hope. In every one of us
that passion finds an object to feed upon.
We all form some beautiful—we all
sketch Borne fancy portrait, which we
loudly cherish, aud hope to find the
fair original. When hope first sheds
its influence upon the heart all one’s
roving thoughts are concentrated upon
one object. A vacuum withiu is filled, of
vbieh we have never before known the
extent. Heedless indifference to suc
cess in life forsakes one. Anew stimu
lus succeeds; the mind revolves splen
did success. All the alluring avenues
of fame are spread open before us. We.
burn to achieve some arduous enter
prise which shall be worthy of the mind
of man.
But strong as is the spell of hope to
incite and inspire us, equally strong is
it to elude aud deceive us.
The fraud is sweet but bitter pain
and keen despair await to torment us
upon awaking, and fiuding its chain
broken, and lying around us iu glitter
ing fragments. Tbe heart that trusts
the syren smile of hope drinks tbe most
copious draught of pleasure while it
grasps its soul-sought treasure, but
when tbe mystic gleam departs, the
heart sinks coldly, and too often breaks
amidst the world’s unkinduess.

Frie NDSiur. —Do not believe, be
cause a man smiles upon you and seek,
your society, that he is your friend
Smiles and professions, alas 1 are so
abundaut as to be of no vajuc. He is
only your friend whose heart is iu bis
words, aud actions illustrate them ; who
stands by you is all vicissitudes ef for
tunc in sunshine and iu shade. When
you find such a being, make him your
second self; cling to him as your very
life, for the jewels of the earth are
ncaroe, and therefore prccions : for the
sand of life but glitters in the radiance
of a high enjoyment, and even the golden
bowl is broken at the fountain.

Funeral ol (ileiii'riil J. Patton
Anderson.
The funeral of Gen J. Patton Ander
son, one of the purest citizens and most
gallant soldiers of tho South, took place
Sunday last at Memphis, where tho de
ceased resided when the death angel
came to summon home the gallant hero
to that land whence so many of his
noble comrades in arms have gone
since the war cloud floated from the
country. Speaking of tho funeral the
Memphis Appeal nays :
"The funeral of Gen. J. Patton An
derson took place from tho Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, yesterday, in the
forenoon. The sacred edifice was crowd
ed with people. The solemn services
were conducted by Rev. Mr. Richard
son, of Chelsea, who preached the tune
ral oration. The coffin, which was de
posited near the reading desk, was cov
ered with wreaths of evergreens and
flowers. The street witluut was crowd
ed with carriages, while the sacred
edifice within presented a scene of sad
ness and mourning. The solemn silence
during the services was oppressive. The
following gentlemen acted as pall-bear
ers :
Gens. N. R. Forrest, W. Y. C. Ilumes,
M. J. Wright, Win. M. Browne, G. W.
Gordon, G. J. Pillow, C. W. Adams, J.
C. Fizcr; Cols. T. W. .brown, J. 11.
Edmondson, R. F. Looney, and Capt.
W. G. Barth. The religions ceremonies j
having been concluded, the pall-bearers
carried the coffin forth aud deposited (
it in the hearse. The deceased Gen
eral’s war-horse was in the cortege
which moved down Main street to
Beale, aud bo out to the Cemetery.
The funeral procession was nearly half
a mile long.”
How Joe Lost Ills Bet.
An old fellow, named Joe Poole, very
eccentric and an incorrigible stutterer
was a constant lounger at the tavern in
Waterford, Me.
One day a traveller, from a distant
part of the State, arrived at the tavern
and was met by an old acquaintance, a
resident of the town.
After some conversation on different
topics, the traveller was addressed as
follows:
“By the way, Brown, look out for
old Poole to-night. You will know him
quickly enough by bis stuttering. He
will be sure to come around and offer
to bet that you’ve not got a whole shirt
to your back. If you take him up, you
will surely lose by a trick he’s got, lie
invariably offers to lay his wager, and
always wins.”
“Very well,” said the traveller, I'll
not let him get ahead of me. Much ob
liged for the caution.”
Tho evening arrived, and a large
crowd collected in the bar-room. Our
friends were there, and old Joe Poole
was present aud iu lus element.
“I’ll tell you wh-what. \ T ou are
nicely dressed, but I’ll bet you ten
dollars you haven’t got a whole shi-sh
shirt to your back.”
“I’ll take the bet.” said the strang
er; “put the money in the landlord’s
hands.”
This being done, the traveler pulled
off his coat, aud was about following
suit with bis vest, when old Joe cried
out:
“Ho-ho-hold on. You've lost. Ha
ha-half your shirt is in front, and the
other half is on your ba-back.”
There was a roar of laughter, hut the
new comer did not mind it, but pulled
off his vest, too, an and quietly turning his
back to Joe, displayed to his astonish
ed gaze a shirt neatly folded and placed
underneath bis suspenders.
Of course the laugh was turned upon
Poole, who acknowledged that he had
lost the wager. He uever offered to
bet again.
Chicago lias discovcrd an addition
to its list of attractions in a cemetery
which possesses the property of pet
rifying bodies interred therein. A
baby lately exhumed there was so per
fectly “marblified”(Chicago vernacular)
that its relatives wanted to take it
home as a mantel ornament; and it is
uow suggested that a company be form
ed to bury people in artistic attitudes
and thus establish a statue-factory to
supply art galleries throughout the
world.

Josh Billings says he never will pat

A Hundukd Ykaiis to Comk.—No
man appears to think how soon he must
sink into oblivion—that wc arcono gen
eration of millions. Yet such is the
fact. Time and progress have, through
countless ages, come marching hand in
hand—the one destroying, the other
| building up. They seem to create
little or no commotion, an t the work of
| destruction is us easily accomplished as
| a child will pull to pieces a rose. Yet
J such is tho fact. A hundred years
hence, and much that wo now see
around us will have passed away. It
is but a repetition of life's story ; we arc
born, we die; and hence, wc will grieve
over these venerable piles, finding the
! common level of their prototypes in
Nature—ultimate death.
"We all within our grave shall sleep,
A h mill roil years to come.
No living soul shall weep,
A hundred years to come!
“But other men our lands will tell,
And other men our streets Will till
And other birds shall sing as gay,
As bright the sun shine as to-day,
A hundred yens to come.”
A Goon Story of .'lit. Skwaud.—
James Brooks writes to the New York
Krprm from China: They tell a good
story in Pekin of Governor Seward
when here, doubtless a lie, but too
good a story to bo lost for that. The
expectations of the cx-governor wore
doubtless great, when ho entered the
great capital of this great empire, with,
which he had made a great treaty; and
he, therefore, indu'ged in these great
expectations of a great welcome. As
he entered the gates of Pekin, a great
funeral procession was corning out, with
music, catafalque, etc., all as imposing
as a grand procession of some great
dead man could well bo made. The
governor was entering with the marine
band of tho Colorado, mounted on don
keys, ns this grand procession was going
out. The great living and the great
dead thus met. The governor, natur
ally enough, concluded this was in honor
of his grand entree, and he rose, and
rose, in his open Sedan chair, and bow
ed, and bowed, and then ordered a halt,
and got out, and bowed, and bowed
again, to the catafalque and the dead.
The Chinese thinks all foreigners are
rather mad, and hence did not marvel
over it as much as they might; but
when Governor Seward fonnd out what
lie had done, the story is he was more
road than pleased.
The Rochester Courier says : <; A
fond father in Rochester had suspected
his daughter of having stolen moon
light walks with a lover whom he had
refused her seeing, and, iu coming home
the other night at a late hour, thought
he saw his daughter’s arm linked in
with the hated lover’s. The indignant
papa took the young man by the collar,
and was giving him a good shaking,
when lie found he had got hold of the
wrong man, and soon learned that the
parties were a highly respectable mar
ried couple, who were coming home
from prayer-meeting.”
The uncertainty of life has passed
into a proverb. Rut in Kansas, death is
dreadfully uncertain. The Franklin
county woman who swallowed a pint of
laudanum is pulling her husband’s hair
with all her primeval vigor. The man
who was crushed into atoms by the fall
ing stone quarro of Secondinc is earn
ing $4 50 a dny. The man that was
struck by lightning in Sedgwick county
is cutting corn. An old woman, 105
years of age, has taken a homestead
claim beyond Hays City, and now Mr.
Jamison, of Cherokee, who was shot
with n double-barrelled gun full of
buckshot, iu the breast, at the distance
of twenty feet and was instantly killed
by his son-in-law, Mr. Hoffman, is up
aud around as if nothing had happened,
and is to-day one of the livlicst aicn in
Crawford county.
A person more remarkable for in
quisitiveness than for correct breeding
—one of those who, devoid of delicacy
and reckless of rebuffs, pry into evrey
thing—took the liberty to question
Alexandre Duma’s father closely con
cerning his genealogical tree.
“You are a quadroon, Mr. Dumas?”
lie began.
“I am, sir” quietly replied Dumas,
who has sense cliough not to be asham
ed of a descent he can not conceal.
‘•And your father?”
“Was a mulatto.”
“ Aud your grandfather?”
“A negro,” hastily answered the
dramatist, whose patience was waning
fast.
“And may I inquire what your great
grandfather was?”
“An ape, sir,” thundered Dumas,
with a fierceness that made his imper
tinent interrogator shrink into the
smallest possible compass. “An aoe
sir—my pedigree commences where
yours terminates.”
