It is to bo regretted that America
can.boast of no national airworthy
of. the grandeur of our nation, nr
comparable in ferventlyilh those
of France ancl Germany. Jt is im
possible to wholly admire either
the words or music of the “Star
Spapgled Ban le ,” or “Hail Colum
bia.” nnd yet none of too latter at
tempts have even approached them
in simplicity, slrengih and earnest
ness. The great American hymn,
however, still remains to be written,
and enduring fame awaits tho poet
or musician who shall prove its for
tunate composer.

My politics arc short and sweet. I

in favor of the internal improvement
system and a high protective tariff. 1 to a great deal of respect,
These are niv sentiments and politi-'

be thankful; if uot, it will be all tbe

between opening a blacksmith’s shop

Ho Prefer* Experience. 7
A writer who is a good observer, nnd
lias had considerable experience, thus
defines the dilrei-ciico between tho old
und young There is, ho says, a wide
gulf between youth and rii>o old age,
lienco tho proverb, “You can’t put an
old head on young shoulders.” This
proverb wus written by an old man;
youth had nothing to do with it.
Youth don't bbliovo tho old man knows
anything, and tho old man expects con
tinually that tho young man will bo
along saying, “1 didn’t know it was
loaded.” Tho wise young mqn’ will
seek tho counsel of thoso npo in^ears
and experience and avoid tlio mistakes
in life. But Young Amorica will con

Monkey, n* Coin Tcatera,
The Siamcso ape is said to bo in great
request among Siamcso merchants
as a cashier in their counting houses.
Vast quantities of base com obtain
circulation in Siam, and tho faculty of
discrimination between good mono;
and bad would appear to no posscssci
by these gifted monkeys in such an ex
traordinary degree of dovolopmcht
that no human being, however care
fully trained, can compete with them.
Tho cashier ape meditatively puts into
his mouth each coin presented to him
in business payments, and tests it with
grave deliberation. His method of
testing is rega: .led in commercial cir
cles as infe’ iblo; nnd, as a matter of
fact, his dci ion is uniformly accepted
by all parties interested in tho trans
action.—London Tid Bits.
Emperor William’s tour in Austria
and Italy is said to havo cost not less

servants of tho sovereigns whom ho
visits is somctliing fabulous, and other

example, when tho Emperor Nicholas
visited Windsor in 1843, ho gave tho
housekeeper £1,000. William took
with him from Berlin eighty diamond
rings, 150 silver stars, fifty scarf pins,
all richly jeweled; thirty diamond
bracelets, six splendid presentation
swords, thirty largo photographs -of
himself, with the empress and their
children, all in gold frames; thirty
