THE LOST BABIES.
Com*, m 7 wife, pot down fbe Bible,
Ley your triawe* on the hook,
Soth of ns are bent and aired—
Backward, mot bar, let na look.
This ia atill tbe same old homestead
VThpre I brought you long ago.
When tbe hair was bright with sunshine
That is now like winter's snow.
Let os talk ahoot the babies
As we sit here all alone—
Buck a merry troop of yonngstera—
Bow we lest tbeui one by one.
JacV, the flrat of all the party,
Came to us one winter’s night ;
Jack, yon said, shoo'd be a parson,
Long before be saw the light.
Doyoa sec that gieat cathedral,
I*l Hr d the transept and the nave,
Hear tbe organ grandly pealing,
Watch the silken hangings wave;
See the priest in robes of office.
With the altar at his hack—
Would yen think that gifted preacher
Coold tie your own little Jack ?
Then a girl with cnrly tresses
Used to dimh upon my kuee,
Like a little fairy princess
Boling at the age of three.
With the years there came a wedding—
How your fond heart swelled with pride
H ben the lord of all the country
Chose your baby for his bride 1
W atch that stately carriage coming,
And the form reclining there—
Would yon think that hrilliant lady
Conld be your own little Clare ?
Then the last, a bias-eyed youngster—
-1 can hear him prattling now—
Bucb a strong and sturdy fellow,
With his broad and honest brow.
Bow fe osed to love his mother I
Ab ! I see your trembling lip I
Be is far off on the water,
Captain of a royal ship.
Bee the hroDze upon his forehead,
Htar tbe voice ol stern command—
That the boy who clorg bo fondly
To bis mother's gentle hand ?
Ah ! my wife, we’ve lost the babies,
Ours so long and oars alona ;
W’bat are we to these great people,
Stately men and women grown ?
Seldom do we ever ace them ;
Yes. a bitter tear-drop starts,
As we sit here in the fire-light,
lonely hearth and lonely hrnrta.
All their liyes are fall without us;
They’ll stop long enough semo day
Juet to lay us in the churchyard,
1 Leu they'll each go on their way.
The Society Editor.
The reporter is one of the most etnrdy
jblsnts ihat springs from the prolific soil of a
newspaper office. He is like the chameleon,
rhrnging his hues to suit the surroundings.
Ee is the polished gentleman in the parlor
ol culture, or the "hail fellow sell met’’ in
the der. of vice, if an item is to be gained
thereby. No rehnff can daunt bim ; he bears
W'th (qual nonchalance the insolence of
tflice or the proud man’s contume'y; iiis
eyes are steadily fixed on his morning star,
the next issue of the paper. He will tramp
all day through the snow or plash or ruin,
with DOlhing but a lunch in his pocket, to
run down the game be lias in view, fie ia
the first up the ladder at a fire, or down into
the loathsome cellar wlicie a crime has been
He will go through the most
dangerous localities of the city at the most
dangerous hours and tackle (be most dan
gerous roughs there, with no weapon except
liis pencil stubs. He w ill hoard an out
going train it need be, interview his man,
and jump from the flying cur into a snow
bank and tramp back on the rail to write it
up. He will casually meet a close mouthed
delegate of a most secret caucus, and, quite
unknown to hint, worm out the (uli particu
lars of the meeting, nod each delegate will
eav next morning ; “Now, how in thunder
did that reporter get in T” A secret meeting
is his oyster, and lie always opens it. There
is only oue thing in the world a reporter is
afraid of, and that is a “scoop” or “best”by
a rival paper. Yet it was not of this hardy
plant we started to eulogise, hut a tender,
fragile flewer, which is at once its ornament
ana its pride. Allusion is made to the so
ciety reporter. He is the one beautiful
blossom that illuminates the newspa|ier
wilderness. He is as different from the or
dinary reporter as tbs tender lily is from the
strong tobacco plant (This beautiful simile
is used, as all report!rs, except the society
man, are addicted to tobacco.)
No sane city editor would tbink of saying.
“AupustoF Algernon, drop in at Bangnm’s
saloon and see what the row was about this
morning, and find out how the man is that
.Bangurn busted with a bottle.’’ Society
weporteis are Dot intendid for work like this.
Ewe is the style of request that comes to
him : “{hawks de Btnturt there is to be a
high-toned wtddirg at the Church of the
Holy Uryl this evei iog, and the Misses
Quinlillion give a select party to-night;
would it be too much to take In both ?” Of
conri-e not. The society reporter will work
his frame to death, if necessary, for the good
of the paper. He dresses laultlessly. He
parts his hair mathematically in the middle.
The aroma of Aiahv the Blest floats around
•s bis handkerchief flutters to thebneze;
the button-hole bouquet is simply .exquisite ;
bis whole appearance, from the faultless,
pftlisfeed shoe to the glossy curl, says : “I’m
to be looked at, but not handled : a thing
of beauty is a joy forever." And yet the
dear girls all know that the whole business
of that newspaper rests on the shoulders of
this young man, and yet with all his genius
he doesn’t talk ts them of polities and such
horrid things that appear in the paper. They
know, too, that tbe journal would sink right
out of sight it the dear fellow sere to with
draw from it. It is through tbe herculean
labors of this journalistic ornament that the
world knows Miss de Fhoddie wore an ele
gant crimson velvet dress trimmed with

of CinriuDoti, is visiting friends in Detroit,”
and that ‘ Mr. Bullion and family have goue

Gordon and Barlow.
Yon may not he aware that it was Gen.
Gordon’s command which strnck the flank of
the Eleventh Corps on the atternoon of the
first day at Gettyahurg, and after a short hot
desperate conflict hroke its line and swept it
from the field. In that fight Gen Barlow, of
New York, commander of the First Division,
fell dangerously and it was thought mortally
wonnrled fie was shot directly through
the body. Two of his men attempted to
bear him through that shower of had from
the field; hut one was instantly killed, and
Gen. Barlow magnanimously said to the
Other :
‘•Yon can do me no good ; save yonrself if
you can.”
Gordon’s brigade of Georgians, in its wild
charge, sw. pt over him. and he was found
by Gen. Gordon himselt, lying with upturned
face in the hot July sun, nearly paralyzed
and apparently dying, Gen. Gordon dis
mounted from his horse, gave him a drink of
water from his canteen, Bnd inquired o( Gen.
Barlow his name and wishes Gen. Barlow
said :
“I shall probably live hut a short time.
Please take from my breast pocket the pack
et of my wife’s letters and read one of them
to roe.” which was done He then asked
that the ethers be torn up, as he did not
wish them to fall in'o other hands. This
Gen. Gordon did, and then asked :
‘•Can I do anything else for you, General ?"
“Yes.” replied Gen. Barlow, earnestly;
“my wife is behind our army ; can you send
a message through the lines ?”
“Certainly I will,” said Gordon, and he
did. Then directing Gen. Barlow to Ü
borne to the shade of a tree at the rear, he
rode on with bin command. The wife re
ceived the mes’Hge and came safely through
both lines of battle and found her husband,
who eventually recovered.
Sinoe Gen Gordon’s election to the Uni
ted States Senate, both he and Gen. Barlow
were Invited to a dinner party in Washing
ton and occupied opposite seats at the table.
After introductions. Gen. Gordon said :
"Gen. Barlow, arc you related to the offi
cer of your name who was killed at Gettys
burg I”
"I am the man,” said Barlow ; “are you
related to the Gordon who is supposed to
have killed me?”
"I am the man,” said Gen Gordon.

touching story as related to the interested
guests, and the thrilling effi-ct upon tbe com

Washington Letter.
He was a Diplomat.
A vpry toll mnn with sandy chin whiskers
entered the door. The car was full, ano 1 the
only sent nnoeetipied by two persons was
filled with a valise, a bundle, a shawl end a
thin woman of thirty five, with the latest
shade of red hair. 'I he man with the sandy
whiskers, feeling a sympathetic bond draw
ing h'm toward the woman’s red hair,
touched her on the shoulder and said—
“ls this seat engaged ?”
“Yes, it is,” snapped the woman, swelling
up in tbe scat that the man might observe
no possible room.
“Ah?” murmured the man. in a pleasant
tone. Then he went and stord by the stove
and mused for awtiile. Presently be return
ed to fhe scene of liis rebuff, and leaning on
the urm of the seat, said soitly—
“l beg your pardon, madam, but as I was
standing bv tbe stove, your features struck
me familiarly. Did you ever attend a presi
dential reception at Washington?”
“No, I never did,” replied the womnn,
but in a milder voice than she hod at first
assumed.
“Then yon will please pardon me,” said
the m n with an apologetic air ; “the mis
take was occasioned by tour close resem
blance to a young lady from Philadelphia,
who made her dehut that season, and whom
I bud the pleasure of meeting. Sbc was
considered the belle of the season. ’’
“No—l never was in Washington,” re
marked the woman, in a mollified tone.
“It is strange how much von resemble the
young lady in question,” pursmd the roan.
“1 he hair is the same golden hue, and while
her features may not have been so clear cut
and Grecian in their—but there, excuse me,
I am annoying you,” and tbe tall man start
ed away.
“Don’t hurry,” said the woman, pleasantly
‘‘There doesn’t appear to be many empty
seats; won’t you sit here?” And she pick
ed up her numerous baggage.
The mnn with the sandy whiskers didn’t
know, but finally accepted the invitation,
and in an incredibly brief spuee of time had
the valise and bundle in the tack above, the
shawl lucked around the window to exclude
the draft, and was regaling the red-headed
woman with a choice collection ol anecdotes,
that kept her luughiog during the entire
trip.— Rockland Courier.
Ortoin of Carpktr—Carpets came from
the Kust and were manufactured by the
Babylonians away baek in remote antiquity.
Turkey and Persia had them long before
they were known in England. These Orien
tals needed them because they knelt manv
times a day in prayer, and sat cross-legged
upon the floor Necessity is the mo'her of
invention,aud hence rugs were manufactur
ed.
The custom in Oriental countries, copied
largely by France, is to have carpets in one
piece, and to only partially covet the floor,
or to use rugs merely before the principal
pieces of furniture. It is only in the United
States, England and Germany at the present
day that carpets are universally used cover
ing the entire floor, and where tbe plan of
waxing floors, as in France, is almost eutircly
unknown.
Those who have painfully walked through
sooie of the palaces in Europe, shuffling
along in felt slipjiers. or endeavoring to stand
upright without Item, realize the comforts j
ot a well-covertd floor, as well as fhe great
addition to tbe beauty of a well-furnished
house.
It is soroowbnt singular that tbe English
should have been so late as they were hi
discovering the utility of carpets, for while
they d d not need them for the act of wor
ship, the climate would naturally suggest
such an addition to warmth.
Yet we learn from history that as fate as
the reigns oS Quee— Mary and Elizabeth
rushes wero used even in the palaces, though
carpets had ben imported to some extent
from tbe East.

A Good Euchre Story.
Yon are right, Mr. Corlett. The Pari*
lottery doe* remind me of an oceorrenee that
took place years and years ago. when you
and I were not staid and portly citizens, bnt
gay and giddy youths. It wa* in Cnb->,
however, not in Mexico, as yon opine. I
had gone to Matanzas, I forgot what for,
bnt probably for no particular reason. At
Mntanzns I picked np an aeqnnintanepsh ip
with an American We talked together at
tbe table d'hote, and in the evening we strolled
oot toge’her. The bright, clear moon played
upon the waters of the harbor, nod ever and
anon tipped with silver the sad of some fl«li
er's «kiff a* it stole out to sea. Around ns
was the luxurious rege’ation of the tropics ;
a soft, gentle breeze murmured through the
tall palms overhead, etc It was a scene
where lovers would have lingered or forever,
hut after contemplating it for about half an
honr, the American arid I found it slightly
monotonous, and weeded our way back to
the hotel. It was still early- N attire slept,
but we did not feel inclined to imitate tier ;
so I proposed cards Tbe American seldom
plnypd, but to oblige me he would do so.
“Knchrp?" I suggested The American did
not know the game well, but if I would ex
cuse him any mistakes that he might make
he would plav at eor-hre. Hi* luck was
prodigious Fortune favored him in a man
ner most miraculous. If I had good cards,
he somehow always hud better. Ve played
for about six hours, and by that time all my
money had passed into the American’s pock
ets. Before leaving Havana 1 had bought
myself two lottery tickets. These I offered
to stake against the money that they had
cost me, about one hundred and fifty dollars.
The American accepted the wager, but his
miraculous luck did not desert him, for he
won the tickets. Having borrowed of him
enough to pay my hotel bill, and to take my
place on the Havana steamer, we went there
together the next morning. The lottery hud
just been drawn, one of my tickets had won
the highest prize. Since then I have never
bought a lottery ticket, for it is against all
probability that I ever again shall be so
near winning a prize I met the Ameiimn
subsequently in New Orleans He oflered
me my revenge, but I declined to accept it
“Have yon a bowie knile or a revolver about
you?” I asked. "No,” he answered “And
you will promise to reply truthfully to a
question that I should like to ask you ?” ‘I
will," he said. “Did you cheat me at
Matanzus?” 1 asked. “That is not precisely
the term that should be used ; but I knew
the run of the cards,” lie answered, as he
shook me by the bund, and, with a genial
smile, wished me good morniug.— Labouchere
