MV LOVE.
TO MISS S M , OF AMERICU3.
My Love is like Aurora,
(Fair maiden of the morn)
With blushing cheek, and dewy lip,
■ Where rosy dimples dawn.
Eyes, in whose tender depths,
A world of sweetness lies ;
A brow, whose purity belongs
To clouds in summer skies.
An hand, whose rounded softness bears
On taper finger, Love’s bright seal;
And in her heart a treasure keeps,
While blushes her sweet thoughts reveal
Her hair, in golden billows roll
Adown her lily throat,
And twines the blue-veined temples round
Like amber clouds which westward float.
Her tripping feet and dainty step
Make tinkling rhymes upon mine ear,
Her laughter sweetly echoes on
The balmy, music-haunted air.
And yet, above these gifts, there lies,
Within this casket rare,
A spirit, pure, all love, all good,
Sweet, beautiful, and fair.
Last Notes of a Swan.
Fond du Lac, March 25th.
THE PLOW, SPADE, AND HOE.
The following song was written for the Hingham
Agricultural and Horticultural Society:
The Fanner’s the chief of the nation,
The oldest of nobles is he:
How blest beyond others his station,
From want and from envy how free.!
His patent was granted in Eden,
Lonjr ages and ages ago;
O the Farmer, the Farmer for ever,
Three cheers for the Plow, Spade, and Hoe!
In April, when nature is waking,
And blue birds are first on the wing,
Ills plows how the fallows are breaking
Whence beautiful harvests shall spring;
Then broadcast along the brown furrow
We hasten the good seed to sow,
O the Farmer, the Farmer for ever,
Three cheers for the Plow, Spade, and Hoe!
When Summer in beauty is glowing,
With fresh, early morn he’s away,
And skillfully guides he the mowing,
Or tosses the sweet-scented hay ;
Then casts him at noon by the brook-side
Where gaily its bright waters flow,
O the Farmer, the Farmer for ever,
Three cheers for the Plow, Spade, and Hoe!
But when in the clear Autumn weather
He reaps the reward of his care,
So busy and joyful together,
What monarch with him can compare?
liis barns running over with plenty,
His trees witli their fruit bending low,
O the Farmer, the Farmer for ever,
Three cheers for the Plow, Spade, and Hoe !
Then sing me the life of a Farmer,
With comfort and health in liis train,
And heed not the voice of the charmer
That whispers of speedier gain—
With all the rich treasures ’tin teeming
That Heaven on its child can bestow,
O the Farmer, the F’armer for ever,
Three cheers for the Plow, Spade, and Hoe!
A WIFE’S STRATAGEM.
“Thunder and Mars!” cried Mr. Fes
ton, pacing his room excitedly. “Can’t
a man ho allowed to sleep peacefully in
the morning without this everlasting
racket? Children crying—doors slam
ming! It is too bad! What can'be the
meaning of ail this uproar?”
Mr. Feston shut the door of his bed
room with a bang, and came savagely
down stairs to the nursery.
Mrs. Feston sat before the fire, trying
to quiet the screams of an eight month
old baby, while a rosy boy of five years
of childish passion.
“Laura what is the meaning of all
this noise, and are you aware that it is
fifteen minutes past nine o’clock ? Do
you know that breakfast is waiting?”
“ I know, John, dear,” said Mrs. Fes
ton, nervously. “Come, Freddy, you
are going to be good now, mamma is
Bure, and get up to be washed.”
“ No-o-o 1” roared master Freddy per
forming a tattoo on the carpet with his
heels and clawing the air furiously.
“ What, you little scamp, do you re
fuse to obey your mother ? We’ll soon
put a stop to that, my fine fellow 1”
And in another moment Mr. Feston
had picked up the kicking Fred, carried
him to a closet, and locked him in it.
“ Now, sir, you can cry it out at your
leisure. Laura, nurse is waiting for the
baby. We’ll go down to breakfast.”
“ But, John,” hesitated his wife, “you
won’t leave Freddy there ?”
“Won’t! I will! It’s temper, and
nothing else, that is at the bottom of
all these demonstrations, and I intend
to conquer that temper. It ought to
have been checked long ago,*nd would
have been but for your indulgence.—
There is nothing I have so little toler
ance for as a bad temper —nothing that
ought to be so promptly and severely
dealt with.”
“ But if he’ll say he’s sorry, John !”
Mr. Feston rapped sharply atthedoor.
“ Are you sorry for your naughtiness,
you little vagabond?”
A fresh outburst of screams and tattoo
was the answer.
“ I am sure lie’s sorry, John,” pleaded
the forgiving mother.
Mr. Feston shook his head.
“ Entire submission is the only thing
I will listen to,” ho said shortly. “ 1
tell you, Laura. 1 am determined to
uproot this temper.”
Laura, with a moisture shadowing
her eye-lashes, and a dull ache at heart,
followed her husband to the breakfast
table.
Mrs. Feston’s maiden aunt, an elderly
lady of severe countenance and circum
spect appearance, was seated at the
table, rigid and dignified, with a fan
fluttering occasionally before her aqui
line nose. She opened her eyes rather
wide as the two entered.
“ Good gracious, Laura, what’s the
matter ?”
“Nothing,” answered Mr. Feston
tartly.
“Something is the matter though!
What is it, Laura? lias John had one
of his tantrums ?”
John sat down to his coffee cup with
a slight bang.
“ 1 ou use very peculiar expressions,
Miss Wesley.”
“ What is it Laura?” said Miss Wes
ley, without noticing what he said.
“ It’s only Freddy, who feels a little
cross, aud—”
“ A little cross !” interrupted the in
dignant husband “I tell you Mrs.
Feston, it is quite time that his temper
wa9 checked. Confound that parrot!
what an intolerable screeching he keeps
up. lake the infernal howler into the
kitchen, or I shall ring his neck. It’s
a Bhame that a man can’t have a little
peace once in a while! What ails these
eggs, Mrs. Feston? I thought I had
asked you to see that they were boiled
fit for Christians to eat.”
Mr. I eston gave his egg, shell and all,
a savage throw into the grate.
“ And the plates are as cold as a stone,
when Ive implored again and again,
that they be warmed. I’ll not eat
another mo uthful of breakfast this morn
ing.”
And he pushed his chair back vio
lently, and slamming the door after
him, left the room;
Jlrs. Feston rose quietly from the
table, and followed her husband up
stairs, knowing that in his present 6tate
of mind he would be thoughtless enough
to bang and slam about everything that
he imagined was in his way, or that he
could vent his anger upon.
She found him standing in front of
his bureau drawer, flinging shirts, col
lars, cravats and stockings recklessly
upon the floor.
“ I’d like to know where my hand
kerchiefs are, Mrs. Feston ?” he ex
claimed angrily. “ The condition of
my bureau is enough to drive a man
crazy l
“ It’s enough to drive a woman crazy,
I think!” said Laura, picking up the
scattered articles. “ You were at the
bureau last. It is your own fault!”
“My fault; of course it is my fault I”
snarled Mr. Feston, giving his wife’s
poodle a kick that sent it howling to its
mistress. “Anything but a woman’6
retorting, recriminating tongue. Mrs.
Feston, 1 won’t endure it any longer 1”
“Neither will 1,” said Laura reso
lutely advancing as her husband plunged
into the closet for his business coat, and
shotting and locking the door. “ I think
I’ve endured it quite long enough, and
here is an end to it!”
“Mrs. Feston! open the door!”
“I shall do no such thing!”
“Mrs. Feston !” roared her husband
at a fever heat of rage, “ what the d—l
do you mean ?”
“ I mean to keep you in this closet
until you make up your mind to come
out in a more amiable frame of mind.
If the system succeeds with Freddy, it
certainly ought to with you ; and lam
sure that your temper is much more
intolerable than his.”
There was a dead silence of full sixty
seconds in the closet, then came a sud
den burst of wrath.
“ Madam, open the door ibis instant!”
Laura commenced humming a little
air, arranging her husband’s scattered
clothes.
“ Do you hear me ?”
“ Y^es—l hear you.”
“ Will you obey me?”
“ Not until you have solemnly prom
ised me to put some sort of control on
that temper of yours.”
“ I won’t!”
“No. Then in that case I hope you
will find the atmosphere not at all op
pressive, as I think it probable you will
remain in there some time.”
Another sixty seconds of dead silence,
then a sudden rain of heels and hands
against the panels.
“ Let me out I say ! How dare you
perpetrate this monstrous piece of au
dacity ?”
“My dear John how strongly you
remind me of Freddy ! You see there
is nothing I have so little tolerance for
as bad temper. It ought to have been
checked long ago, only you know I am
to ridiculously indulgent.”
Mr. Feston winced a little at the fa
miliar sound of his o*vn words.
Tap, tap,*tap, came softly at the closet
door.
“ Laura, dear 1”
“ Well ?”
“ Please let mo out. My dear this
may be a joke to you, but—”
“Are you sorry for your naughtiness,
you little vagabond ?” said Mrs. Feston.
imitating her husband’s voice when he
spoke to Fred.
There was a third interval of silence.
“ Laura,” said her husband in a sub
dued voice, “ will you open the door?”
“ On one condition only.”
“ What ?”
“On condition,” she added, “that
you will break yourself of the habit of
speaking crossly and sharply to me,
and on all occasions keep your temper.
Will you promise?”
“ Never, madam!”
Mrs. Feston was about to leave the
room when tho voice in the closet. ev.
w.mOi.ivu iiH V UUMJ .
“ Mrs. Feston, Laura, wife! you do
not intend to leave me in this place?”
“Ido.”
“Well, wait a moment—l—l—l—
promise.”
“ Everything that I require?”
“ Yes.”
Wisely deaf to the muttered sequel,
Mrs. Feston opened the door and her
husband strode sullenly out, and was
striding rudely past her when a little
detaining hand was laid on his arm.
“John, dear !’’
“ Eh ?”
“You forgive your little wife, don’t
you?”
He did not look at her, nor reply, but
endeavored to release his arm from her
earnest grasp.
“ You do forgive me, I know. I love
you sincerely, and would not, under
any circumstances, do anything to for
feit or relinquish the love I know you
bear me. Say you forgive me ! I shall
not be happy until you say it!”
And she burst out a crying on her
husband’s shoulder.
John Feston hesitated for a moment
—ouly for a moment —then throwing
his arms about her, he kissed and em
braced his wife passionately.
“Forgive you—of course I will! You
are right, my dear—you are always
right ! I showed my temper—you
showedyour souse! But a few moments
before I had reproved Freddy for the
same error that I fell into myself. For
give you, my dear little wife,” he said
proudly, kissing her tenderly, “yes, a
thousand times, if you desire it, and I
bless you for having taught me to avoid
a fault which I saw so easily in others,
but was so blind to in myself!” *
“ Hero’s Fred,” said Miss Wesley,
leading the little fellow into the room
by the hand. “ Now, Fred, tell papa
and mamma what you just told me
when I let you out of the closet.”
“ I won’t lose me temper denny
more.”
The Difficulty About That Dog.
BY JOHN QUILL.
This was the cause of all the trouble:
LOST—On the 10th inst., a small
Terrier Dog, with a brass collar upon
his neck, and the tip of his tail gone.
Answers to the name of “Jack.” Five
dollars reward will be given to the per
son who returns him to JOHN QUILL,
No. 84, Rickety Row.
I inserted the above in the Daily Flip
flap, in the hope that I might recover
the animal, to which I was much at
tached. The Flipflap goes to press at
sa. M. At half past six I was awak
ened by a puil at my door-bell. I got
out and opened the window. As I
looked out I saw a man standing in the
front yard with a mongrel dog, tied to
a rope. He gazed up and observed :
“ Hello! are you the fellow who lost
a dorg ?”
“ Yes I am.”
“AY ell, then, I’ve fetched him,” said
the man.
I then explained to this wretched
human being that my dog was a terrier,
v hile his looked more like a dog of wood
with half the bark off and propped up
on four sticks, than a dog of any kind.
“ ain’t you a going to take
him?”
“ I would’nt have him as a gift. And
I want j»ou to move oft' now, or I’ll call
the police.”
’’ Now, 1 guess you think you are
smart, don t you ? I’d bust you over
the jaw lor five cents, I would. You
don t know a good dorg when you see
him, you don’t,” and be went out, after
ripping the pailings off' the fence.
In about a half hour there was an
other ring at the bell. I went down.
1 here was a man with six dogs of a va
riety of breeds.
“Wh-whichof ’em’s him, b-b-boss,”
said this fellow, for he stuttered as if
he would strangle on a small-syllable.
“ Neither of them.”
“Y-you said his n-na-name was J-
Jack, d-did’nt you ?”
“ Yes, that’s it.”
“ W-well, then, wh-wh-what d’ye call
th-thatl” says he, as he sung out “Jack,”
and the whole six dogs looked up and
wagged their tails like a lot of spavined
oxen in fly time.
“ Why, I call it confounded nonsense
to expect me to take the whole six dogs
because they’re named Jack. I don’t
want to start a sausage mill, you un
derstand. Mince meat isn’t in my line.”
“ W-w-w-well, ain’t you going to take
him ?”
“ Certainly not, do you suppose I am
a gibbering idiot ?”
“ W-w-w-well, you sh-shant have him
now if you want him. I w-w-wouldn’t
trust a decent d-dog with a m-m-man
like you, anyway.”
And the six canines fell into line and
trotted down the street after him.
I had not got fairly into the house
before there was another ring. Seedy
looking man with a serai-decayed yel
low dog. His ribs stuck out so that he
looked as if he had gorged himself with
a spiral spring.
“ You advertised for a dog, I believe.
Well, I caught him around here in the
alley, after a desperate struggle. Fine
dog, sir.”
“ Weil, I don’t think he is. He looks
to me as if he wasn’t well. He is too
etlierial for this world, young man, de
pend upon it.”
“Oh not at all, sir. Only shedding
his coat, sir; all good dogs do it at this
time of year. See that, sir,” said this
seedy Caucasian, holding the dog by the
cuff of the neck. “ See how he yelps ;
that’s a sign of pluck ; that dog would
fight a million wild cats, he would, and
lick em too, sir.”
“ Get out!” I exclaimed, and the dog
put his tail between his legs aud ran for
the gate.
“See that, sir? see that” said the
man, as he seized him, “ that’s a sign
he’s well trained; no raw dog behaves
! like that, I want you to know. Now
i s’pose you fork over that five.”
“Not much! I don’t want him, my
i friend.”
“You won’t do it? Well then, take
him for seventy-five cents, and say no
more about it. He’s a valuable animal.
You’ll never get another such a chance.”
“ I tell you I won’t have him.”
“ Well, don’t then,” said the man as
he kicked the animaljover on my flower
pots and broke three of them, while the
brute dashed madly down the middle of
the street.
Just then a big ruffian in a slouch hat
came up with a bull-dog, sprung in the
knees, and lamenting the entire loss of
his tail. When the ruffian spoke to him
he wagged the whole of the last half of
him.
“ I’ve brought that there dog,’’ was
the observation made by the ruffian,
“ and I’ll finger them there stamps, 1
reckon.”
“ My friend,” said I, “ that is not my
dog.”
“Y’es, it is, though.”
“ But it is not.”
“ Don’t I tell you it is ? Didn’t you
say the tip of his tail was gone ? Well,
just look at him, will you ?”
“Well, I won’t have him, anyhow.”
“ You want to cheat me, do you ? I ll
fix you. S-sick him, Bull!” said this
outrageous ruffian, as the dog flew at
me, giving me barely time to get inside
and shut the door on its frontispiece.
I guess I squeezed the nose off of that
dog. But the man cursed me for about
ly- YV” n 'U s i and then flung a brick at
the door and .went away. ”
In less than twenty minutes another
ring. Small pocked-marked man in red
shirt, this time. Had a speckled dog
that looked as if he had been out with
out an umbrella when it was raining
ink. Says this victim of the small-pox :
“ You know that dog you advertised
for? Well, here he is.”
“ O pshaw,” said I, “you know that
isn’t my dog.”
“ Your name’s Quill, ain’t it ?
“It is,” said I.
“Well, then, this here is the dog.—
He is the best ratter you ever seen
Slings them around like he was amusing
hisself, he does, and ”
“ But he is not ray dog.”
“ And he is a bully watch dog. Look
at him ! Look at him now—he’s watch
ing now ! Why, he will sit there and
watch and watch until he goes stone
blind, he will. He’ll watch all night if
you only let him. I’ll jest chain him
up while you go in and get the V.”
“No you needn’t,” said I. “ I’ll blow
his brains out if you don’t take him
away ”
“ Well, say, stranger, I’m a little
strapped to-day; just lend me five on
him this morning, will you? I’ll pay
you to-morrow.”
“ See here, now, you just get out of
here, or I’ll take the hide off you,” I
said, for I began to get excited, you
know.
“Aw! you ain’t worth a cent, you
actually ain’t,” said the pock-marked
man as he walked off, after clipping the
dog over the head with one of’ my nice
pailings, and then putting his fingers
up to his nose.
Not a minute after up comes a man
with a mastiff as big as a small horse.
“ Say, boss, want that five,” was all
he remarked, by way of introducing
the subject.
“Well, you can’t get it, and if you
don’t leave I’ll call the police,” I ex
claimed in despair.
“ Watch him, Zip 1” said the man, in
stantly, and the dog flew at me, threw
me down, and bit a slice of muscle out
of my leg, and disfigured my nose for
life. Then the assassin who.owned him
called him off and went away laughing.
I didn’t answer any more rings that
day, but about four o’clock in the af
ternoon I looked out of the second
story window, and the yard was full of
men with all kinds of dogs. Black dogs,
white dogs, yellow dogs, variegated
dogs, flea bitten dogs, dogs with tails,
dogs without tails, rat terriers, bull pups,
poodles,fox hounds, spaniels,Newfound
lands, mixed breeds, pointers, setters
and a multitude of other varieties, all
growling, yelping, barking snapping
and jumping about, until there wasn’t
a flower pot left in the # place, and the
noise was worse than a menagerie at
meal time.
I havn’t got my dog yet. I don’t
want him either. 1 don’t care if I never
see another dog between this and the
silent grave. 1 only wish that all the
dogs from here to Russian America
were collected into a convention, and
had hold of that man with the mastiff’,
that they might gnaw on him until he
hadn’t a morsel of meat left on his skel
eton. That is all I want in the dog
line in this world.
A MODEL OFFICE SEEKER
I was w itiugaud making notes in the
library of** ’ongress three weeks ago, and
while most busily engaged, a shadow from
behind fell upon my table. Thinking it
some friend who was privileged to take
the liberty, I did not iook up for some
seconds or minutes. The hand from be
hind picked upa manuscript, read it over,
took up a secoud, and so forth, until final
ly I turned round, irritated.
There stood a total stranger—a large,
politician-like, coarse-grained, impudeut
eyed man—cooliy reading my manuscript.
It was so outrageous a violation of decen
cy and so rascally a liberty, that I felt the
blood go up my face like the hoisting of
the British standard.
“Is that your conception of manners,
sir?” I said to the mau.
He looked at me like a stone with a
smile on it, for a few minutes, and then
said, with a contemptuous voice :
“I reckon everything here is public
property, ain’t it? I reckon ’taint no use
to put on airs here, be it ? I guess not!”
Not deigning me another word, this Re
publican genius went round all the circuit
of the tables, peering in the notes and
pages of every reader, lady or man, and
at the end, giviDg me a half defiant yet
impassive look, went out at a floundering
stride.

BT HERMINB.
Glorious victim of my magic !
Ruined by my potent spell,
. From the worid’6 imperial station
Have I dragged thee down to Hell ?
Fallen Chieftain ! Dnthroned Monarch!
Lost through doting lore for me !
Fast, on shades of night eternal,
Wings my soul its flight to thue!
Caesar shall not grace his triumph
With proud Egypt’s captive Queen!
Soothed to sleep by aspic kisses.
Soon mv heart on thine shall lean ;
Soon my life, like Lotus blossoms,
Swift shall glide on Charon’s stream;
Clasped once more in thy embraces,
Love shall prove an endless dream!
Iras! Charmian! Bind my tresses!
Place the crown above my brow!
Touch these hands and take these kisses —
Anthony reproves not now ;
Gods! my lips breathe the poisoned vapors!
They have struck my Charmiau dead!
Foolish minion, durst precede me
Where my spirit’s lord has fled?
None shall meet his smile before me,
None within his arms repose;
Be his heart’s impassioned tires
Quenched upon my bosom’s snows.
None shall share his "burning kisses
Ere I haste me to his side !
Octavia’s tears may prove her widowed—
Cleopatra’s still his bride !
See ! My courage claims the title —
Closer press the aspic fangs,
Memories of his quickening touches
Sweeten now these deadly pangs !
Honor, manhood, glory's teaching,
All, he bartered for my smile,
Twined his heart strings round my fingers,
Vibrant to their touch the while.
Followed fast my silver rudder,
Fled from Csesar’s scornful eye,
Heeded not his bleeding honor,
Glad upon my breast to lie;
Then I snared him in my meshes,
Bound him with my wily art,
From the head of conquering legions
Suatehed him captive to my heart.
Wild his soul at my caresses!
Weak his sword at my command!
Rome, with fury, saw her mightiest
Bowed beneath a woman’s hand !
Noblest of the noble Roman,
Greatest of the Emperors, thee,
Thou dist fling away a kingdom—
Egypt gives herself to thee.
Sweet as balm! Most soft and gentle
Drains tbe asp my failing breath;
Anthony ! My Lord ! My Lover!
Stretch thine arms to me in death;
Guide me through these deepening shadows—
Faint my heart and weak my knee;
Glorious victim ! Ruined hero!
Cleopatra dies for thee!
A NIGHT WITH A LUNATIC.
In a very quiet neighborhood up town,
resides a family, one of the members of
which at times is afflicted with mental de
rangement. Being quiet and inoffensive,
the parents have chosen rather to keep
her under their own care than put her in
an asylum. Although habitually weak
minded, the poor girl is not noticeably de
ranged, save at long intervals. A few
nights since, however, one of these attacks
came upon her, aud under the influence
of the strange malady she climbed out of
the wiudow of her room and sought the
residence of a friend of the family a few
blocks away. Being well acquainted with
the premises, she had no difficulty in
gaining admittance, and just before dawu
the gentleman aud his wife wereawaken
eu irom » g | t e „ by a most fear
ful scream in their betl-room. Starting
up. terribly alarmed and frightened, they
beheld an apparition well calculated to
inspire terror aud unnerve even the bold
est. With tiie subtle cunniug which
sometimes attends insanity, the girl had
taken from the mantlepiece a revolver,
and uow stood in the centre of the room,
her long black Hair streaming over her
robe, and the eyes L>lazio<» like fire and
the pistol pointed at the two pe»j.| e j’ n
bed. Every time either of them
a fearful glitter of the eye and a movemeni
of her arm disclosed her purpose to lire.
Entreaties aud soothing words were alike
unavailing, and to all questions and ap
peals she replied with a scream of mauiac
laughter. In this pos.tiou hour after hour
went by, aud still the girl stood menac
ingly at the foot of the bed, still threaten
ing to shoot, still laughing witli a glee
that curdled the blood and sent the cold
chills through the frames ot the appalled
couple who expected every moment to
feel the crash of the leaden missiles armed
with death. Finally her mood changed,
and she seemed to desire a frolic rather
than a tragedy.
“ Git up and dance !” she said, and in
obedience to her commands the gentleman
and his wife arose aud commenced a series
of terpsichorian antics, which, however
ludicrous, was anything but laughable to
to the parties engaged. The gentleman’s
long night shirt would occasionally trip
up his feet, but every time he stopped to
fix it the stern injunction to “ dance ”
put his pedal extremities in active opera
tion. The morning was close and heavy,
aud the dense atmosphere of the room
made the unwonted exercise fatiguing to
the last degree. The perspiration stood
out in great drops on their forehead, and
ran down their faces. The steps and
graceful motions usually employed in the
“ cotilion ” the “ muzourka ” and the
" schottish ” were now exchanged for a
real old Virginia break down, and the
tired aud compulsory votaries of Terpsi
chore could only jump up and down, like
a potato bag charged with electricity. But
every indication of a suspension of the
active exercise drew from the observant
spectator the stern iojuctiou “ dance! ”
aud although tiieir limbs ached and their
breath came quick aud short, dauce they
did—they danced all night till broad day
light without tiie prospects of going home
with the girls in the morning. The lady
being somewhat obese, and unused to
such violeut work, showed evident signs
of distress. But it <4jd no good. The
maniac was bent on a frolic, and kept
them in incessant motion. The Virginia
break-down was exchanged tor the Irish
jig, and this in time gave way for the
double snuffle, as the body of the maniac
swayed in delight to the music of the pat
tering feet. How long the frolic would
have been kept up, it is impossible to say,
had not tiie servant came in and diverted
the attention of tiie girl. This enabled the
gentleman to secure the pistol, aud thus
relieved from peril, suspend the dance.
Although very fond of such amusements
before, both he aud his wife now discover
a great antipathy to dancing.— New Or

“D. P ” writes from New York to the
Cincinnati Commercial as follows:
It is really refreshing in this day of
fierce competition for office, when the
struggling thousands remorselessly tram
ple each other down, to meet with one
kind, impulsive nature, full of milk as an
Alderney cow, and impulsive as a boy.
Such a nature is the venerable Jesse, “the
flower”—l beg pardon, the father of our
cherished and beloved Chief Magistrate.
This good old man has seen many years
of troubled life, and although winters of
many years have silvered his venerable
head, his heart is as youthful and fresh
as in his early spring time, when he was
a beau among the girls, and au athlete
among the men.
I have ju9t heard an instauce from the
Professor, who is here studying music at
the Fifth Avenue Opera House, and per
fecting his French accent by listening to
the sweet voices of Tostee ami Irma. The
instauce renews my admiration of the ven
erable Mr. Grant. He is such a dear old
gentleman. It seems that during tHe sum
mer that preceded the Presidential elec
tion, the old gentleman revisited some
scenes of his youth that exist about Ra
venna, Portage county, Ohio. When he
was a sportive young man, he loved aud
courted a fascinating girl. But, alack and
alas! the course of true love did not run
smooth. In fact, it run over a dam, or
several damns, aud falling on the rocks be
low, split all to pieces. To come down
from my symbolical comparison, the gay
youDg Jet-se, the flower, etc., was jilted.
He returned to tind his former love an
aged widow, with a fain ly of children,
one of these a girl—no, not exactly a girl,
hut a young widow—looking as much like
her fascinating mother at the same age.
Is not this beautiful? Does it not read
like a fairy tale? What a charmiDg thing
Offenbach could make of it. He would
shift the scene to a later day, after the 4th
of March, indeed, so as to bring in the
Presidential Mausiou.with General Dent,
High Custodian ot tiie Cardbasket, ami
Guardian of tbe Booijack, and the smok
ing President. And the two wouM sing a
comic song, with a lively chorus from the
office-seekers, and theu all would break
into the cauchd. But I digress.
The old gentleman saw his former love,
aud to coneeal his tumultuous feelings,
jested with her.
“Aiu’t you sorry,” he said, ‘‘that you
refused me; you might no a- be the mother
of the General, and maybe the President?”
The old lady laughed, aud merrily as
sented.
“Never mind,” the old man cried, “ I
will take the same care of you as if you
were my wife. Who’s your Congressman?”
“ General Garfield.”
*‘Ah! that Uosecrans feller. Well, I’ll
take the patronage of this District in my
own hands. I’ll make your daughter
postmaster of this town."
The good people took this as a merry
jest from the kind-hearted old man, and
thought no more of it. Tiie election came
off’, and after the inauguration tiie citizens
moved to turn out tiie Johnson postmas
ter, and put in a good Republican. The
election was held, and the victorious can
didate sent on his credentials to General
Garfield. That excellent geutleman pro
posed to file the same, with an earnest
recommendation. Before this could be
written, he read with blank amazement,
In the Chronicle, that the name of Mrs.
had been sent in by the President.
To catch a hack aud hurry up to the
White House was the work of a few min
utes. General Garfield stands very high
in the estimation of the Administration,
and he was at once admitted.
“I came to inquire, Mr. President, upon
whose recommendation you sent in Mrs.
as Postmistress at Ravenna ?
“Upon the recommendation of my fa
ther,” responded the President, “be
knows tbe fainiiy very well.”
“Does he know that this young woman
is not only unqualified—that site is
entirely incapable, through lack of edu
cation, to carry on the office; but there is
great indignation in Ravenna over her
appointment?”
“I can’t say, indeed,” responded the
President, “but I certainly don’t wish to
appoint such a person to office.”
“Will you recall tiie nomination, theu,
Mr. President, aud permit me to leave
with you the papers of tiie successful candi
date?”
“If you will have the confirmation de
layed for a while, I will certainly send in
the name of the gentleman you recom
mend.”
Gen. Garfield hastened to the Senate
saw tiie committee, and had the young
widow superseded. But the venerable
Jesse heard of the interference of the
‘ Rosycratize man” in his bit of tender so
licitude, and intervened. Not at all stag
gered by the fact that the daughter of his
love could not read writing, lie at once
madearrangeme its with the defeated can
didate in the election, to go into the office
and do the duties thereof, at a reasonable
compensation, while the fair widow en
joys the profits. With this understanding
the daughter of the old love was con
firmed.
Could anything be more tender, touch
ing and beautiful than this? The venera
ble Jesse is an oasis in a desert. He is tiie
greenest thing to be found in tiie dry
wastes of politics. Let us he thankful,
however, that he was not a Don Juan, and
had few loves.

Scrofula, or King’s Evil,
is a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, it
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease on any part of it. No organ is free
from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is vaiimi ly
caused by-mercurial disease, low living, dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure ail, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in <lie con
stitution, descending “ from parents to children
unto the third and fuurtli generation ; ” iuth i.il,
it seems to be the rod of Him who savs, ‘"I
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children.”
Its eifects commence hy deposition from the
blood of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on
the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu- i
tions not only suffer from scrofulous com- j
plaints, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse
quently vast numbers by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal hy this taint in the
system. Most of the consumption which de
cimates the human family has its origin directly
in tills scrofulous contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or
are aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter of all our people are scrofulous ;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fection, and their health is undermined hv it.
To cleanse it from the system we must renovate
the blood by an alterative medicine, and in
vigorate it by healthy food and exercise.
Such a medicine we supply in
AYER’S
Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
the most eflV tual remedy which the medical
skill of our times can devise for this every
where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com
bined from the most active remedinls that have
been discovered for the expurgation of this foul
disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the
system front its destructive consequences.
Hence it should he employed for the cure of
not only Scrofula, but also those other affec
tions which arise from it, such us Eui i'iivk
and Skin Disbasks, St. Anthony’s Fiuk,
Host:, or Eitrsirp.r.As, Pimpi.ks, Pustui.ks,
Bi.otciiks, Ui.a ins and llotr.s. Turnons, Tettkk
and Salt Riiiak, Scald llkad, Ringworm,
Rheumatism, Svi nii.rnc and Mkuccuiai. Dis
eases, Duoi'sv, Dvsrr:rsiA, Dehility, and,
indeed, all Comfj.ainth auihi.no i uom Vitia
ted oit Imeuke ili.ooi). The popular lxlief
in “impurity of ihe blood" is founded in truth,
for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The
particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa
rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid,
without which sound health is impossible in
contaminated constitutions.
- AYER’S
Ague Cure,
FOU THE SPEEDY CURE OF
Intermittent Fever, or Fever anti Ague
Remittent Fever, t bill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or H»lious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, Indeed
for the xvhoie class of diseases originat
ing in biliary derangement, caused by
tile Malaria of Miasmatic Countries.
We are enabled here to offer the community a
remedy which, while it cures the above complaints
with certainty, is still perfectly harmless in any
quantity. Such a remedy is invaluable in districts
where these afllicting disorders prevail. This
“Cure” expels the miasmatic poison of Fever
and Ague from the system, and prevents the de
velopment of the disease, if taken on the first ap
proach of its premonitory symptoms. It is not only
the best remedy ever yet discovered for this class
of complaints, but also the cheapest. The large
quantity we supply for a dollar brings it within the
reach of every body ; and in biliQus districts, where
Fever and Ague prevails, every body should
have it and use it freely both for cure and protec
tion. A great superiority of Ibis remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and certain
cure of Intermittent* is that it contains no Quinine
or mineral, consequently it produces no quinism or
other injurious effects whatever upon the constitu
they had never had the disease.
I‘ ever and Ague is not alone the consequence of
the miasmatic poison. A great variety of disor
ders arise from its irritation, among which are
Neuralgia, llheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blind
ness, 'loothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Painful Affection of the Spleen, Hyster
ics, Pain in the Botcels, Colic, Paralysis and Lte
rangemoit of the Stomach, all of ivhich, when
originating in this cause, put on"the intermittent
type, or become periodical. This “Lire ” expels
the poison from the blood, and consequently cures
them all alike. It is an invaluable protection to
immigrants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken occa
sionally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and cannot
accumulate in sufficient quantity to ripen into dis
ease. Hence it is even more valuable for protec
tion than cure, and few will ever suffer fr„.h Inter
mittents if they avail themselves of the pre* tion
this remedy affords.
