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 gieen, and that “tbe lovely M'ss Pcuquioe, of CinriuDoti, is visiting friends in Detroit,” and that ‘ Mr. Bullion and family have goue to spend the wiifler at Long Brunch " let ns thank a kind Piov dence that in giving ns ibe cpffol. tbe ornamental is not forgot ten, »rd thus we have the gem of gems—tbe iocletp repotter. — Detroit Free Press.

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. The hearty greeting which loliowed this touching story as related to the interested guests, and the thrilling effi-ct upon tbe com pany can better be imagined tliun described. 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. 1% ibe midst of life we are in debt. 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 in London Truth.
