THE BALLAD OF HI RAH HOVER.
Where the Moosatockmsgunttc
Pours its water in the Skuntic,
Met, along the forest-side,
Hiram Hover, Hnldah Hyde.
She a maiden fair and dapper,
He a red haired, stalwart trapper.
Hunting beaver, mink and skunk,
In the woodlands of Squeedunk.
’bv.’
“Gath er yarhs for chills and fever.
When a lover, bold and true,
Only waits to gather yon J"
“Go,” she answered, “I'm not hasty;
I prefer a man more tasty ;
Leastways, one to please me well.
Should not have that beasily smell.”
“ Hanghty Huldah.’’ Hiram answered ;
“ Mind and heart alike are canrcred ;
Jesi look here I these pelti n-s give
Cash, wherefrom a pa<r may live.
“ I, you think, am but a vagrant,
Trapping beasts by no means fragrnnt;
Yet—I'm suie its worth a thank—
I’ve a handsome sum in bank.”
Turned and vanished Hiram Hover;
And, before the year was over,
Huldah, with the yarhs she sold,
Bought a cape against the cold.
Black and thick the furry cape was;
Of a stylish ent the shape was ;
And the girls in all the town,
Envied Huliiah, np and down-
Then, at last, one winter morning,
Hiram came, without a warning ;
“ Either,” said he, “ yon are blind,
Huldab. or you've changed your mind.
“ Me you snub for trapping varmints.
Yet you take tire skins for garments;
Mince you wear the skunk and mink,
There’s no harm in me, I think.
“ Well," said she, “ wo will not quarrel,
Hiram; I accept the moial.
Now the fashion’s so, I guess
I can hardly do no less.”
Thus the trouble was all ever
Of the loved Hiram Hover;
Thus he made sweet Huldah Hyde
Huldab Hover, as his bride.
Love employs, with equal favor,
Things of good and evil savor,
That which first appeared to part,
Warmed, at last, the maiden’s heart
Under one impartial banner,
Life the hunter, Love the tanner.
Drawing from every beast they snare
Comfort for a wedded pair.

One of the institutions of which the
cultivated Georgian must ever be
proud is the Georgia Historical Soci
ety with its handsome building, its
library and its interesting collection of
MSS. and antiquities. Whoever visits
the noble ‘‘Forest City” of our sea
board, would do well (if he possesses
cultivation and taste) to pay his re
spects to the Hall of this Society, and
to add something to its already line
collection, if he should have aught in
his possession suitable therefor. This
institution owes its origin to the en-
lighted public spirit and elegant cul
ture of Rev. W. B. Stevens, I. K.
Tefft, Esq., and Dr. R. D. Arnold but
little over thirty years ago.
Among the several publications of
the Historical Society, none can excel
in interest or in beauty of mechanical
Tunnelling the Straits of Do
ver.—On the loth of January, a com
pany was registered in London under
the title of “ The Channel Tunnel,”
for making a trial shaft and driving a
driftway on the English side of the
Straits of Dover. This is in the inau
guration of an attempt to carry out
the much talked of tuunel to connect
the “fast-anchored isle” with France.
It is expected that one of the two lines
will be chosen. M. de Gamoud, a
French engineer favors a route from
Cape point, near Folkestone, in Eng
land, to a spot a little eastward of Cape
Grinez in France, while Mr. Law, an
English engineer, advocates a line
from half a mile west of South Fore
land to a point four miles west of
Calais. It is presumable that the ex
pense will be the great obstacle to en
counter, as the mere question of the
practicability of tunnelling under the
Dover straits, has been abundantly
demonstrated in several of the mining
districts on the English coasts. At
Whitehaven, the workings extend for
three miles under the sea, iu a direct
line, and are connected by branch tun
nels. Some of these are situated from
eighty to two hundred and forty yards
below the bed of tho sea, but many
are at much less depth. Geologists
are almost universally agreed that the
channel of the Dover straits was form
ed by the simple washing away of an
isthmus, and there will be no disloca
tion of strata to be encountered. The
cuttings will be through gray chalk,
except at the end of the line proposed
by M. de Gamond, where the forma
tion is of green sand. It is calculated
that two tunnelling machines, work
ing without intermission night and
day, one from each end of the project
ed tunnel, would complete a driftway
—an experimental tunnel—seven feet
in diameter, in a single year. Any es
timate of the cost of the tunnel must

of the class Disraeli terms the res lit-
terar'ur—exists than that connected
with Wilde’s beautiful poem—now
one of the acknowledged classics of
modern lyric poetry. Perusing the
volume before us, we sigh that the
elder Disraeli did not survive to make
from it his most interesting chapter of
“The Curiosities of Literature.” We
are sure that the thanks of the pub
lic are due to the Historical Society
for preserving these incidents while
the accomplished prime-mover in the
mystification yet survives to explain
the innocent intent of the practical
joke that unexpectedly jeoparded Mr.
Wilde’s claim to the authorship of the
poem.
The translation of Mr. Wilde’s ex
quisite little poem (whose proper title,
by the way, is “ The Captive's Lament”)
into the Greek was effected by Antho
ny Barclay, Esq., for many years Brit
ish Consul at Savatmah. It was, as
Mr. BarclHy explains, “first designed
exclusively for a few friends” who
were discussing a charge of plagiarism
then current in regard to the poem.
Mr. Barclay, oue forenoon, translated
the English poem into Greek. At the
uext meeting of “the few friends,”
the Greek verses were produced and
alleged to be one of the few fragments
of Alcaeus which have descended to
Modern times. To Mr. Barclay’s sur
prise the bait was swallowed; and
against his wish, the Greek verses long
afterward found their way into print,
creating much learned discussion in
the periodicals ot after years. This
little volume contains a very “learn
ed” article on the subject, ventilating
Mr. Wilde’s alleged plagiarism, in the
year 1834; which article quotes from
a communication to a New York pe
riodical of the day beginning “ We
wish to pluck the stolen laurels from
the Honorable Plagiarist of Georgia,”
&c. This brought out Mr. Wilde, then
a member of Congress, iu self-vindica
tion, and Mr. Barclay in explanation
of tbe innocent joke which had mud
dled the bead of the leading journal
of American literature, as the “assu-
macy” of the “North American Mag
azine” led it to consider itself. The
explanations then given, clearly set
tling the crown of buys on Mr. Wilde’s
brow, and various other papers of
great interest connected therewith,
equally honorable to both Mr. Wilde
and Mr. Barclay, make up tbe con
tents of this curious publication of the
Historical Society.
The evidences of scholarship aud
authorial ability of Mr. Barclay af
forded in this volume lead us to regret
that he has not achieved something
greater in the world of letters. We
rejoice also to know tuat the promise
of Mr. Wilde’s spring-time ot letters
has been followed by maturer produc
tions—works which do not in this era
of flashy and prurient literature at
tract general attention, but which are
read and appreciated by a few, at
least. His Hesperia, published in Bos
ton twenty years alter his death, is
truly an American poem. The work
was left in MS. at the time of the poet’s
death in New Orleans; and the filiaL
pounds. Calculations based on the
revenue derived from the present
modes of transit to the continent, and
the extra trallic that would arise from
the improved means of travel, show
that, at a very moderate estimate, the
revenue would be .£320,000 per an
num. This project to tunnel twenty-
two miles under the ocean is a most
stupendous undertaking, and the Lon
don Times says : “ Though the argu
ments, facts and conjectures of the ad
vocates of the work have much plaus
ibility, at the same time there hangs
over the project an element of extreme
uncertainty, which only actual trial
can dispel.” Two millions sterling
are required for the experimental drift
ways, which is not a large amount,
when the magnitude of the work and
the rich reward to follow success are
taken into consideration.—uVew York

Life in the English Universities.
—The ‘ chum system” does not exist
in English universities. Each student
has separate apartments in the college,
whore he is required to reside, consis
ting of a study-room of good size, ana
a sleeping room. In the newer col
lege structures a third room is added
as a pantry or storeroom. Students
breakfast and lunch in their own rooms
and dine together in the college hall.
Under these hulls are ample kitchen
arrangements, and the dinner is pro
vided by cooks under a regular con
tract system, with a prescribed bill of
fare. Tiie room-rent, board, and tui
tion of the student amount at tbe min
imum to eighty pounds a year. This
does not iyelude the pay of the private
tutor, which is at the rate of ten
pounds per term for three terms and
twenty more for the vacation, if the
student remains to study. A private
tutor under the English university sys
tem is considered iudispensable. The
college expenses, therefore, may be
stated at one hundred and ten pounds
as the minimum in American colleges.
This, of course, does not include cloth-
iug, traveling, or incidental expenses,
nor the expense of the five months’
vacation. . . . Tljp English university
system is widely different from our
own. It supposes the student has
passed through a good share of the
curriculum ot our college course in
preparatory schools. It is a system of
lecturing and examinations; deals with
the philosophy of literature aud lan
guage, science and art; with criti
cism, and practical applications of
knowledge. This 'work is done by
the professors and the college tutors.

the white men, and before the affair ended four
men were mortally wounded and several injured.
I An innooeut looker on waa fatally shut,
pparent inability
middle class, people to make a little go a great
way. I will venture to say that ninety.nine out
ot every hundred American families on limited in
comes throw away, fritter away and misspend in
buying things that they could as well do without
snd in paying exorbitant prices for those things
and for others, as much in one year as would sup
port decently a Continental family of the same
size.
In Europe the English are acknowledged to be
the most extravagant nation, but Americans may
bear off the palm in that respect from every nation
on the face of the earth. And in the end, what
have they to show for their lavish expenditure 7—
They have neither the solid comfort of the English
nor the airy elegance uf the French in their houses
and dress I am an American- I say this pre-
meditatively- I mean it. 1 have had occsaion to
learn something about what I am talking of in all
the three countries mentioned.
The grand excuse of our model American for bis
reckless expenditure, his bead over-heels-way of
of going at things, is that he “hasn't time.” He
never has any time for painstaking He is bom
in a hurry, educated in a hurry .is always in a hur
ry on the street. In short, he lives aud dies in a
burry. He always undertakes to do abont three
times as much as he can possibly get through with
—it is the nature of the animal—and the conse
quence is that he usually does nothing well.—
Others have to come after him and finish up what
he has left undone. It is not want of strength,
nor want of capacity, not want of courage, oor
want of means. No! tbe rock upon which he
splits is simply an imagined want of time : or,
rather an inability to calculate fairly just bow
much time is needed iu which to do a certain
thing. In this respect he is always imagining that
he can get two feet into one boot and split one
minute into two. You’ll see him running after a
street car as if hia life depend on getting into it,
although one will bo along in leas than two min
utes. And lie thinks nothing of risking a plunge
into the river in a mad race after a departing ferry
boat, or of putting hia life iu danger by springing
aboard a railroad train while it is in motion. All
this because be dosen’t want to wait five or ten
minutes longer. Rather than do this, he risks his
life several times daily.
And you talk of economy to a race like this, to
men and women who would rather do anything in
the world than wait and take things easily !
Economy goes with a leisurely habit of life.—
To be economical, time is required above all other
things. And it is simply because we cannot or
will not afford the time, that we are not an eco
nomical people. To rush into the neatest store
upon your route aud buy what you ate in need of
at a cost of a third more than if you has! gone out
of the way to get it, is in many cases a saving of
time, according to oar notion, and this is the way
in which the money goes. We haven’t time to
hunt up just what tvii; suit us a* to tbe price and
quality. We are at tho mercy of all with whom
we deal. They in turn are at the mercy of oth
ers, and nobody is beufited. The resalts of this
chronic state of being in a burry are to be seen iu
high prices and poor ware—bad food and worn out
stomachs—in houses that are only pnt up only to
tumble down over our heads—in terrible railroad
and steamboat disasters. It is the cry everywhere.
There is no time for that, nor for that, nor for the
other thing We worry through life to death, in
which alone, for the first time, we rind rest. What
is the u-e of preaebiug economy to such a people 7
The defect is in our national character and in our
way of life- We shall never be economical until
we have a proper idea of the value of time, health
and money, and a better appreciation of the dignb
ty cf leisure ; until we learn to understand that
display and luxury are not necessaty to happiness,
and (bat the middle state in life is often tbe must
desirable.—Howard GLYNDON, in 1 he New York
Evening Mail.
How to Live Long.—They live
longest, as a class, who lead calm and
even lives, mentally and physically;
who are most exempt from the turmoil
and shocks and strains which are in
cident to human existence, and who
are assured of to-morrow’s bread—
There is no one thing, aside the bless
edness of an implicit reliance on the
Providence of God, which has such a
direct influence in promoting longevi
ty as an assurance, felt to be well
grounded, of a comfortable provision
for life, for all the wants of our station.
Not long ago a man died in a poor
house in England, where he had been
taken care of for i inety years; he had
no anxiety for to-morrow’s bread; he
had no quarter’s day to provide against
in default of which wife and children
would be turned into the street from
the doors of the elegant brown stone
mansion. He had no notes to meet in
bank, which if nut paid by a day and
an hour would involve protest and fi
nancial ruin. Ah, this load of debt,
how it grinds one’s manhood to powder;
it agonizes the sensitive heart; how
it shames a man’s honor ; it has driv
en to desperation, drunkenness, to su
icide, to murder ! How the anguish of
it takes the energy and health ot a man.
and makes him pine and languish for
weary days and weeks on beds of
thornB, which pierce him through the
body, into the soul!
So, one way to avoid sickness and
premature death is to avoid debt as
you would the devil.
Robbed and Black Jacked Himself.
—A queer story.—The Philadelphia
Telegtap\ has the following. On March
15th, an item appeared in the Telegraph
setting fourth the fact that Wm. P. Wei-
ver, ticket agent of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad, at their depot in West
Philadelphia, had been black jacked by
robbers, who entered bis office while he
was asleep on a louuge, and then robbed
the 6afe of $1700. He was so badly in
jured or reptuted as being so that be lay
iu bed for a week, and no oue but his
physician or nurse was allowed to see
him.The case was entrusted to Detective
Joshua Taggart, who at once set patient
ly to work to unravel the mystery. A-
bout a week ago tbe young mau left tbe
house, and then heard it rumored that he
was suspected of having robbed the safe
and then black jacked himself. This
so worked on bis mind that he attempted
to commit suicide by taking laudamuin, but
tbe physicians saved him. Mr. Taggart
pressed the matter home to Weaver, who
finally confessed that be had stolen the
money and then knocked himself inseus-
ble with a blajk jack. He told where
the money was, bat gave no reason for
this remarkable performance of a man
turning burglar and assassin upon himself.
The Negro’s Simile.—An «ld ne
gro named Pete, was very much troub
led about his sins. Perceiving him
one day with a very downcast look,
his master asked him the cause.
“ O massa ! I’m sich a great sinner !”
“ But, Pete,” said his master, “ you
are foolish to take it so much to heart.
Y'ou never see me troubled about my
sins.”
“ I know de reasou, massa,” said
Pete; “ when you go out duck-shoot
ing, and kill one duck and wound
another, don’t run after de wounded
duck?”
“ Yes, Peteand tbe master won
dered what was coming next.
“ Well, massa, dat is de way wid
you and me; de debbil has got you
sure; but as he am not sure of me be
chases dis chile all de time.”

“Can this be Richard Rawlins 7” said Hal Ver-
ner, after the two men had atared at each other for
a full minute. “I am almost ready to swear that
j yen are my old friend Dick.”
•’Hifcht/Hal- I am Richard, and I cannot won
der that you nearly failed to recognize your olJ
classmate in the man before you. Fivjj year*
work great changes in a man.”
“Yes, Dick, that is true. There has been a good
many changes in my career, and time has lett its
impress on my self.”
“The fates must have dealt kindly with you,
Hal. for you look not a day older or graver than
when I saw you last.”
“Graver ! why should I look graver 1" answer
ed Hal. “I have 1 fared quite as well as I deaerv
ed. You know that when wo parted five years
since, it was with tbe determination on my part of
roving for a few years. Well, I have roved. For
the first year, on this continent, and then in Eu
rope,until my return,about twelve months since. I
will now enter iuto particulars, but I must tell von
that I now live in New York, and that I have just
come to Chicago on business. On my return, I
aoi to marry the loveliest girl in all the world.”
“I ought to congratulate you, Hal, but my own
sorrows overshadow every other feeling. It is but
a tew weeks since I told a friend wbat you have
just told me, and now I am desolate. Bnt come
bom* with me and I will tell you abont it'”
“As soon as tbry had reached Rawlins’ comfort
able parlor at his hotel, be began his story :
“No matter where or what 1 was the first four
years of our separation, it, was only last summer
that existence really began for me. I went to
Newport to spend a lew weeks of gaiety, for you
know. Hal, that pleasure was my object in lite.—
I had been there but a few days, when, one after-
noou, I was listlessly watching the bathers as they
appeared on the beach, and while thus engaged I
saw among them the loveliest creature I bad ever
beheld. Her giriish face was beautiful as a dream
and her little form was attired in a most bewitch
ing little bathing robe. As sho passed me on the
beach my eye caught hers for oue instant, and
that glance thrilled every fibre ef my being. I
breathlessly watched her as she entered the wattr.
Farther aud farther she went, until I felt on the
point of rushing alter her and bringing her back
to safely. Suddenly her beautiful hands were
thrown wildly above her head, and sho shrieked
for help. I rescued her, while all present seem-
ed paralyzed by the accident. I reached the shore
with my precious burden without aid trom any
one, and bore her to tbe nearest hotel. It proved
to be tbe one at which she, with her mother, was
stopping. The accident and rescue furnished roe
a passpoit to her society, and 1 soon became her
daily companion in walks and drives, but sho
could not be induced to again try bathing. When
my Angie left Newport with her mother to retain
to Chicago, it was with the understanding that 1
was soon to join them. The follow ing week I was
with them. She loved me. and at an early day we
wero married. Iwishljcould linger over the few
weeks of blissful happiness that followed. We
waa stopping with Angie's mother and the only oth
er member of the family was a young man,a distant
relative, who wished to make bis home with them.
One day business called me to Detroit, aDd
would detain me two days. Angie could scarcely
part with mo so long. Judge of my auguisb
when I returner and was told that my wife had
not been seen siuce the afternoon of my departure.
That was three weeks ago, and from that time to
this we have found no trace of her. My first
thought was of the lake, and my fears were
strengthened by her mother, who told roe that
Angie had twice before had fits of mental aberra
tion, when she feared that her darling might at
tempt to take her own life. Since then, I am ever
tortured with tbe thought that she is calling to me-
from the cold wateis of the lake to save her. Ev
ery effort has been made to find her, but of no
avail. She is lost ! lost 1 lost !
“Mrs. De Grow, her mother, is wild with grief
about her.”
“Mrs. De Grow 7” cried Hal. What ! Angie
De Grow 7 Did you marry her 7”
“Yes, yes ; did you know my darling 7 answer
ed Dick.
“Know your darling ! I knew Angie De Grow.
I married her myself a year ago, and three months
later we were divorced.”
“Iu inycy, no jesting on this subject.”
“I was never more iu earnest in my life - ”
“And do yo i mean to tell me that what you
have just said is true 7”
“True as the gospel.”
A curious look of wonder, perplexity, and chag
rin passed over the couutenanca of Dick Raw
lins.
“Now,’ said Hal. “did you really credit the
‘mental aberrnlion’ theory, so much in vogue in
such cases 7 Where was the 'distant relative'
about tbe time of your angel's disappearance 7”
“He has not been seen since. I suppose he
went in search of her.”
“Of course, and in a few months probably an
other tit of ’mental aberration’ will cause her to be
searched for by some one else. But Dick, lay
aside the mask : I know you are too old a bird to
be caught with chaff. Why do you adopt the sui
cide theory, and play the woeful 7”
“Well, to tell the truth, Hal, a man doesn't feel
so deuced mean if his wife commits suicide, rs he
does if she leaves him for another fellow. As to
her previous life, I am rather glad to learn of it,
tori have always had some twinges of conscience
for having married her, unsuspicious as she was,
of the existence oi the wife 1 left behind me.”
‘O if that is your history,” said Hal, “I will risk
your heartaches at this exposure. But what about
tbe wife you mention 7”
“Let me see,” mused Dick, “I married her
about two years ago, down in Boston. Last sum
mer I went to Newport, while Lily went with her
uncle to New York ”
“Lily ! What was her other name 7” cried
Hal.
“Lily Wilrr.ot’”
“Not the daughter of Judge Wilniot, of Bos
ton.”
“Yes, daughter of Judge Wilmot, of Boston,
though I suppose she still bears my name.”
“Lily Wilmot.' cried Hal’ “why she is my Lily,
the girl I am going to marry. You are only tell
ing me this in revenge.”
“Ail right, Hal, you can marry her, but miun,
I Dover heard that there had been a divorce in our
family. So she assumes her maiden name, does
she 7”
O, the wicked creatures, to deceive us so,”
cried Hal.
“Yes,” said Dick, “but yon may have her, old
friend. She is as free as I was to marry again.”
I don’t want her. O, my Liiy—but I won't
hsve her. Go back to her yourself, Dick, the in
triguing creature, to deceive me so.”
Yes,” said Dick, “that is true ; but how did
she feeljabout the first Mrs’ Hal 7”
“She never heard of that.”
“I should say, Hal, that you and I are beaten at
our own gamo. Don't you think that we arc alt
about ittn l —La Muille.
Mark Twain a* Eaiilar-in-t bier.
Mark Twain, in his new volume “Roughing ft,’’
givesthis experience as local editor ot th i Yirgiutn
City, Nevada, Daily Enterprise, and incidentally
credits the “leadiug writer” ot a daily journal m a
manner as rare as it usually is deserved. In ti e
case mentioned Mark had tired of his labor as lo
cal editor. He says:
1 wauled variety oi some kind. It came. Mr.
Goodniau went away fur a week aud left me the
post of chief editor. It destroyed mo. Tbe first
day I wrote my leader in the torenoon. The sec
oml day I had no subject, and put it off till eve
ning, and tb n copied an elaborane editorial out of
the American Cyclopedia, that steadlast friend of
tbe editor all over Uie laud- Tho fourth day I
fooled around” til! midnight, and then fell back
on tbe Cyclopedia again. Th fifth day I codgell
ed my brain till midnight, aud then kept tbe press
waiting while I penned some oilier personalities
on six different people. Tbe sixth duy I labored
till far into tbe night and brought forth—nothing.
The paper went to press without an editorial’ The
seventh day I resigued. On the eighth Mr. Good
man returned an t lound six duels on bis hands.—
My personalities had borne fruit
Nobody, except lie has tried it, knows what it is
to be an editor, li is easy to scribble local rub
bish, with the facts all before you ; it is easy to
clip selections from other paper*; it is easy to
striug out a correspondence from any locality ; bat
it is an unspeakable hardship to write editorial.—
Subjects are the troubles—the dreary lack of
them, 1 mean- Every day it is a drag, drag, drag
—think and worry and suffer—all the world is a
doll blank, aud yet the editorial column must be
filled. Only give the editor a subject, and his
work is duue—it is no trouble to write it up ■ but
fancy how you would feel if you bad to pump
your brains dry every day iu Hie week, fifty-two
weeks in the year. It makes one low-spirited sim
ply to think of it. Tbe matter that <-ach editor of
a daily paper in America writes in'he course oi a
year would fill from four to eight bulky volumes
like this book. Faucy what a library an editor e
work would make after twenty or thirty years'
service. Yet people ofteu wonder that Dickens,
Scott, Bulwer, Dumas, Jkc., have been able to
produce *o many books. If these authors had
wrote as voluminously as newspaper editors do—
tbe result would be something to marvel at iudeed.
How editors continue this tremendous labor, this
exhausting consumption of brain-fibre (for tboir
work is creative, and not a mere mechanical layiug
up of facts, like reporting), day after day, aud yeai
after year is incomprehensible Preachers take
two month’s holiday in midsummer, for they find
that to produce two sermons a week is wearing iu
tbe lung run* In truth it must be so, mod it u to:
i and therefor*, how an editor can take from ten to
twenty texts snd build upon them from ten to
twenty pains-taking editorals a week, and keep it
np all (he year round, is further beyond compre
hension than ever. Ever Bince I have snrvived
my week as editor I hava found at least one p!e»r«
ure in any new.spaper that comes to my hand ; it
is iu admiring the long columns of ed.torials and
wondering to myselfbow iu the mischief he did it.
The Discovery of Coffee.—To-
wnrd the middle of the fifteenth cen
tury a poor Arab was traveling
tiirongh Abvsinnia, and finding himself
weak and weary from fatigue, he
stopped near a grove. Then being iu
want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut
dowu a tree which happened to be
covered with dead berries. His meal
being cooked and eaten, the traveler
discovered that the half-burned ber
ries were very fragrant. He collected
a number of these, and on crushing
them with a stone, he found that their
aroma increased to a great extent.—
While wondering at this, he accident
ally let fall the substance in a can
which contained his scanty supply of
water. Lo, what a miracle! The
almost putrid liquid was instantly pu
rified. He brought it to his lips. It
was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment
after the traveler had so far recovered
his strength and energy as to be able
to resume his journey. The lucky
Arab gathered as many berries as he
could, and, having arrived at Arden,
in Arabia, lie inlorined the mufti of
his discovery. That worthy divine
was an inveterate opium smoker who
had been sullering for years from the
influence of that poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries,
and was so delighted at the recovery
of Lis own vigor that in gratitude to
the tree he called it cahuab, which iu
Arabic signifies force. And that is
the way in which coflee was discover
ed.
A lawyer once came into court
drunk, when the judge said to him :
“ Sir, I am sorry to see you in a situa
tion which is a disgrace to yourself
and family, the court, and the profes
sion to which you belong.” The re
proof elicited the following colloquy :
“ Did your honor speak to me ?” “ I
did, sir ; I said, sir, in my opinion,
you disgrace yourself and family, the
court, and the profession, by your
course of conduct.” “May i-i-it please
your honor, I have been an attorney
i-i-in this court for fifteen years ; and
permit me to say this is the first cor
rect opinion I ever knew you to give!”
Horace Greely is said to be sick and
tired of the “ devilments” that beset
an editor now-a-days in the way of
politics. He sometimes swears that
he will quit the business and take to
teaching a writing school for a living.
