OLD HAYES' SIIKEl'.
DY BC8AH ANN,
Dedicated to the Hay a A Whtckr Glee Club.
Old tfayes lio had a rare old shcop,
Its w ool wm whllo as snow, ,
And everywhere that Hayes 'did went,
That sheep was suro to go.
Tho tax man to old Hayes dldcomo,
This sheep to list, and rate,
And Hayes did swear that sheep was worth
Klvo dollars-clear and straight.
And Hayos did feed that sheep a year,
On grass, and roots, and hay,
And wondcrrully did It grow,
Much thlnner-every day.
And when another yeai had tied,
Tlio tax man camo again,
Which put old Hayes into n lit
Of parsimonious pain,
And then ho swore, that samo old sheep,
Which ho had fed and grazed,
Had dwindled qulto away, In fact,
A shade of other days.
Two dollars, and a fraction moro,
Was all ho could be led
To say that samo old sheep was worth,
So pampci ed, anil so fed I
The tax man frown'd hut put It down,
At Just what Hayes had sworn,
And now the people say that Hayes,
Was honcst-lu a horn I
If Hayes' old "sheep" so petcr'd out,
And faded at that rato.
It seems that llajos would prove a botch,
To l'tilo and guide tho State.
DEAD.
"She Is dead I" thoy bald to him. "Como nway ;
hiss her and loavo her thy love Is clay."
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair j
Ou her forehead of stono they laid It fair.
Over tho eyes which razed too much,
T hey drew tho lids with a gentle touch j
With a tender touch they closed up tho well
Tho sweet, thin lips that had secrets to tell i
About her brown ond beautiful face,
They tied her veil and her marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet the vvhlto silk shoes,
vv inch were tho wliltesl.no eyo could choose I
And over her bosom they crossed her hand3
"Como away," they said, "God understands I"
And there was silence, and noUilng thcro
Hut silence, and scents of eglantero,
And Jasmine and roses, and rosemary,
And they said, "as a lady should He, lies sho."
And they held their breath ns they left tho room
With a shudder, "to glanco ut Its stillness and
gloom.
And he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet, tho stately and beautiful dead :
He lit his lamp, and took his key
And turned It. Alone again ho and sho.
He and she s ytt sho would not speak.
Though he kissed, In tho old place, tho quiet
cheek.
He and sho ; but sho would not bmlle,
Though ho called her tho namo sho loved ere
while.
Ho and sho ; Mill sho did not movo
To nny passionate whisper of love.
Then ho said, "Cold lips and breast without
breath.
Is there no voles ? no languago of doatli ?
"Dumb to tho ear and still to tho sense,
But to tho heart distinct, q tense ?
"See now ; I will listen with soul, not ear ;
What was tho becret of dying, dear ?
"Was It the Inllnlto wonder of all.
That you ever could let life's llower fall
"Or was It the greater marvel to feel
The "el feet calm o'er tho agony steal t
"Was the miracle greater to Hud how deep
Ueyond nil dreams sank down vv nrd that sleep ?
"Did life roll back Its record, dear t
And show, as they say It does, past things clear,
"And was It the Innermost heart of bliss
To Uud out so, what ft wisdom lovo is ?
"Opcirect death I O, dead tnobt dear I
I hold tho breath ot my boul to hear.
"I listen as deep as to horrible hell,
As high as to heaven, and you do not tell 1
"There must bo pleasure In dying, sweet,
To make you so placid from head to feet.
"I would tell jou darling, if I wero dead,
And 'twere your hot tears ou my brow shed.
"I would say, though the angel of death had laid
Ills bword on my Hps to keop it unsaid.
"You should not ask vainly with streaming oyes,
Which ot all deaths was the chlcfcst surprise ;
"The very strangest ond suddencbt thing
Of all surprises dj lng must bring."
Ah, foolish world 7 Oil : most kind dead I
Though lt.'wustoldmc.wlio will bcllevo It was saldf
Who will bellevo what ho heard her say,
With tho boft, sweet voico In tho dear old way 7
"Tho utmost wonder Is this : I hear
And sio sou, and love you. and kiss you dear.
"And am your angel, w ho was your bride.

The following explains itself:
from the New York Times, Nov. C, 1871.
VOTE FOR SAMUEL J. TILDEN.
"Tho voters of tho Eighteenth Assembly
District ought to esteem it an honor nnd a
privilego to elect Samuel J. Tildcn to the
Legislature. He has shown himself a gal
lant, conscientious, efficient foe to corruption.
Wo appeal to every Republican to voto and
work for him, and to do so the more cheer

A1THK THE UATTLE VAS Mil. TILDHN IN
HAD COMPANY AOAIN 1
Tho election of 1871, as is well known,
resulted in the overthrow of a majority of
tho Ring Candidates. From the Times of
November 9, 1871, the following editorial
comments are gathered :
."The significance of our success on Tues
day should not be misunderstood by the reg
ular professional politician, nor should its
honors bo misappropriated. Let no one
presumptuously claim it as a party triumph.
It was a movement of tlio great body of the
people, irrespective of party distinction.
Tho honest citizens suddenly took tho man
agement of their own business into their own
hands But it was not, we
repeat, tho work of any ono party it re
quired the union of honest men of both par
ties. And that, warm thanks to the intelli
gence, energy and courage of prominent
merchants, bankers, lawyers and others oi
both political parties, was gloriously success
lul, Among individuals,
however deserviug others are of commenda
tion, it will not be deemed invidious to Bay
that to William F. Uavemeyer, Charles
O'Conor and Samuel J. Tildeu a large share
of credit is due."
Mr. Tilden having been elected to tho As
bly, the Times of November 17, 1871, speaks
of him as follows :
On the Domocratic bido in the Assembly,
Mr. Tildcn will undoubtedly be the leader,
und as such ought to be able to promote tho
cause of bound reformatory legislation in a
very marked manner. His judgment in re
gard to municipal affairs is ripe, and his in
dependence has been proven by the severest
test. His voice will be entitled to great
weight.
HONOIt TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE.
From the New York limes of Nov. 18, 1871.
"After a battle is fought and victory won
it will generally be found that those soldiers
who are the most boastful of their prowess,
and tho must forward to claim credit for
their valiant deeds, aro the very men who,
during tho progress of the fight, wero seen
skulking in the rear, or hiding themselves
behind trees and hedges. 4
it thus appears that in spite of all tho expo
surcs of tho Tammany thieves, and in spito
of ull tho efforts of Mr. Tilden and other
honest Democrats in behalf of the Reform
ticket, the gieat bulk of tho Democratic
candidate (party?) still clung to tho thieves'
candidate, while only a comparatively small
portion joined the Reform movement."

ed and fell in their places, but the work went

probably, after another Rixtecn years, they
will bo working 3,000 feet below tlio sur
face. This anecdote is told of Dr, Samuel John
son and his wife previous to their marriage.
He said to her thut he very much wished to'
Innrry her, but thcro wero theso obstacles.
First, ho was of very humble origin; second,
ho had no money ; tWjd, ho had ui uncle
who was hanged. In icply, she said she
honored no man moro or leas becauso of his
parentage : second, sho had no money her
self ; and third, although sho had no rela
tives hanged, she had twenty who deserved
to be, Bud alio wished they were.
I'nrii Police.
Recently tho I'ollco arrested a man In tho
street who had a magnificent Louis XV.
clock under his coat, und ns ho wns shabbily
dressed and wore hob-nailed brognns, thcro
was a suspicion that ho did not como hon
estly by an article of such value. His talo
about taking it to a watchmaker for repairs
did not go down ; the police had heard all
that before. When beforo tho jtidgo, tho
mnn had no difficulty in proving that ho was
n M. X., a millionaire, and the owner of a
largo property. His only fault was that ho
wore shabby clolhcs. This brings up a story
of that sensible lunatic, as they used to call
tho Due do Orainmont-Cadcrtiusso a few
years ago. This gentleman was a wild blade,
it is true, but yet n good fellow lu every
senso of tho word, n grand seigneur, polite
and kindly, but often given to cccedtricitics
nnd to acts of tho wildest extravagance. He
was tho early friend of Mile. Hortpnso
Schneider, nnd tho Duke did a good deal to
form her during her first ycais upon tho
ttrgo. lie committed suicide at tho age of
thirty-two. Ono evening a party of young
men were dining at the Maison d'Or, when
tho Duko gavo expression to a number of
democratic theories, and his comrades accus
ed him of too great a fondness for tho peo
ple. After having answered according to
his conscience, the Due do Orammont said :
"Very well, gentlemen, I will bet you that.
without having any reason whatever there
for, tho l'olico will arrest mo within an
hour."
"Without your doing anything?" asked
one.
"Without doing anything to justify tho
arrest."
"Done or fifty louisl"
As thero was no time to lose, Caderousso
jumped into a cab and rode to tho temple
and came back in the most sordid costume
it is possible to imagine. The old, greasy
cap upon his head, the pantaloons in rags,
tho Old shoes broken at tho toes, and tho
greasy coat gavo him tho air of a miserable.
He blacked his face and grimed his hands,
then begged his comrades to follow to wit
ness the arrest. They followed him to a cafe
on the Boulevard Poissoniers, where the
Duko seated himself at a table with a side
long, sneaking motion, and after a moment,
called to the waiter :
"Garcon, bring mo a bottle of cham
pagne!"
The waiter hesitated, looked at his clothes
and then said :
"But, mon bonhomme, that costs twelve
francs."
"Well, suppose it does," growled Cader-
ous.e, "do you think I haven't tho means of
paying?"
And as ho Baid this lio drew from ono of-
his dirty pockets a package of bank bills and
laid 40,000 francs down before the astonished
waiter. The latter ran for his patron, nnd
was sent at onco for tho sergeants do ville,
who took tho duko into custody upon suspi
cion of having stolen money upon his per
son. The other young men followed, and
heard a curious dialoguo between the false
voyon and tho officer, the latter saying that
he was not to be taken in by such tales and
that ho must explain how he came by the
money before M lo Judge. There he said
"Monsieur, I am tho Due de Orammont
Cnderouse. I'made a bet tho Polico would
arrest mo without having uny reason for so
doing, and I have won my bet. Hero are
my friends to prove it, and it only remains
with mo to thank you,"
The Duke's splendid equipage, with out
riders in livery, was already at the door, and
Caderoussn bowed himself out whilo tho
Magistrate was still staring atliim In open
mouthed wonder. N. Y, Times.
Wautcd a Farm.
A Detroit real estate agent was waited on
by a tall man with a weed ou his hat, and
said ho had the cash to pay for a farm, pro.
vided he could get one to suit, Tho agent
smiled him to a seat, and brought out a reg
Ister of descriptions. He had several farms
registered on his books, and ho had no doubt
that he could suit tho would-be purchaser.-
The stranger remarked :
"Wh'tt I want is a farm about three hun
dred acres."
"I've got it," replied the dealer.
"I'd like about six big hills on it."
"Heieshe is here's a farm with exactly
six hills on it."
"And I'd like a lake near the centre."
"Hero you are. Hero is n farm with a
lake exactly in the centre."
"And I want a big natural cavern in one
of tho hills."
"Hero ynu'are. There's a cavo on this
that can't be beat."
Thu stranger drew a long breath and went
cn :
"I want a farm ofthrco hundred acres,
but ono hundred acres must bo marsh land."
"Hero sho is," was tho ready reply, "Jut
three hundred acres iu the farm, and just
ono hundred in marsh land."
"I must have a waterfall twenty-six feot
high ou the farm," continued the stran
ger. "Hero you are. This farm has a natural
waterfall of twenty-five feet aud eleven inch
es. I don't suppose an inch, moro orless, ou
u waterfall amounts to much
"Well, no, but I want u windmill ou ono
of tho hills."
"That was put up last year," was tho
calm reply.
It was somo time before tho stranger
thought of anything else, but finally said :
"Thero must be a church right across the
road from tho house."
"Ono built thero last summer, sir,"
"It must bo a brick church,"
"So It is."
"Has it an organ ?'
"It has."
"Then I can't buy tho firm of yon," said
tho straugor, rising to go. If' thcro h any
thing I hate, it Is n church organ, and you
can sco for yourself that I, would bo in a
btatool continual misery, The farm suits
mo first rate, but I can't go that organ."
Just what estimato those two men placed
upon each other's veracity at they acpara
ted will never be known.

Marriage Superstitions.
SInco marriage becamo an Institution
thcro havo been certain signs and supersti
tions that havo clung to its celebration
through all nges nnd In all counties. Even
to day, in tho most civilized nations, we
have not entirely rid our minds of these su
perstitions, and I warrant thcro Is never a
bride but indulges herself in looking for
some happy women. Few peoplo aro daunt
less enough to bo married on Friday, nnd
we all have tho most unlimited confidence
in that old shoo thrown after tho newly wed
ded pair. Ncarlyjevcry brido of to-day
wears about her when sho is married somo
trifling thing borrowed from a lady friend,
nnd all know that 'Blest is tho brido on
whom tho sun doth shino,' and are equally
certain that
To ctiango tho namo and not the letter
Is a change for tho worse, nnd not for tho better."
So on, qulto indefinitely, it Is wonderful
how theso auclcut signs aro handed down
from generation to generation, and how im
potent reason js to do away with their htild
upon the human mind'. Say what you will
we are naturally given to superstitious fears,
and there are tho fewest peoplo who aro not
raoro or less affected by them. But let us
recall a few of tlio olden beliefs couceruing
marriage superstitions.
In tho earliest weddings we read of among
tho Jews, wo find that tho fourth day of the
week was considered an unlucky day for
virgins to wed, and tho fifth for widows.
Tho Romans also believed that, certain days
were unfavorable for tho performance ot
marriage rites, and theso were tho Kalends,
Nones and Ides of every month, tho whole
months of February aud May and many of
their festivals. Juno w.u considered tho
most propitious month of the year for mat
rimony; especially if tho day chosen were
that of the full moon or the conjunction of
the sun and moon.
The month of May was especially to be
avoided, as it was under the Influence of
spirits averse to happy households, nnd for
centuries this superstition seemed to prevail
in Italy against May marriages, and even to
this day prevails in some parts of England
and our own country. Iu China marriages
aro positively prohibited at certain times and
seasons, on account of their being unlucky.
lucre was at one time, a superstition cur
rent iu England against marryiug on Inno
cents' Day, the 28th of December, a day of
ill omen, because it was tho one which com
memorated Herod's massacro of the children.
And it is still thought unlucky to marry in
Lent. 'Marry in Lent and you'll live to re
pent.' An old lino also says, 'May never wa3
ye month of love,' and another, 'Who mar
ries between ye sickle and ye scytho will
ever strive.' The old rlivme that wo have
all heard tells us to marry on
"Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health,
Wednesday for tho best day ot all,
Thursday for crosses,
Friday for losses,
Saturday no luck at olL"
At ono time it was thought that all those
who married on Tuesdays and Thursdays
would, be, happy. .Among the Romans no
marriage was celebrated without an augur
being first consulted.
In the middle uges it was considered an
ill omen if the bridal party, in iroltig to the
church, mot a monk, priest, hare, dog, cat,
lizard or serpent;, whilo all would go well if
u wolf, spider or toad wero encountered,
It is lucky if the initials of a wedded cou
ple spell a Word.
In the south of England It is said to be
unlucky for a bride to look in tlio, glass af
ter she is completely dressed beforo she
goes to the church, so a glove or soma other
article is put ou after tho last look has been
taken at the mirror. Gray horses at a wed
ding aro lucky. It U supposed to be; Un
lucky if a wife does not weep on her day.
In Scotluud it Is considered. , an unhappy
omen If a couple are disappointed, in gotting
married on tho day first fixed for the pur
pose. ,In the Isle of Man dt js bolievcd tbnt It
insures good luck to carry salt In tho pocket
when going to bo married. In Hull it is
considered unlucky to go In at one door
and go out at another when a person gets
married.
Whoever goes to sleep first on tho wedding
night will die first.
If there is an odd number of guests at a
wedding, one is sure to die within the suc
ceeding twelve months.
Tho Orlgiu of the Chinese Queue.
The history of tho Chiucso queue is told
by tho Rev. Julius Doolittlc. a missionary
in China, as follows: "The fi.st emperor of
tho present dynasty, who began to reign iu
111 14, having usurped tho throne, determined
to make the tonsure of Manchuria, his na
tivo country, the token of submission of the
Chinoso to his authority. Ho ordered them
to shave all the head except the crown, aud
allowing tho hair ou that putt to grow long,
aud to dress it according to tho custom of
Mauchuria. Tho Chinese had been accus
tomed under nativo emperors to wear long
hair over tho whole head, and to arrango it
In a tuft or coll. Tho change was gradual,
but finally prevailed through thu Empire.
At first thoso who saved their heads and con
formed to tho laws received, it is said, a
present of a tael of silver, after n whilo only
half a tael, and then only a tenth- of a tael,
and afterwards only 'an ogg finally even an
egg was not allowed. Tho law requiring
the pt oplo to shavo aud braid tho queue was
not only rigidly enforced by tho penalty of
immediate death, but it became very mani
fest that thoso who did not conform to tho
wishes of tho dominant dyniuty would nev
er become succo&riul iu a lawsuit against
those who did not conform, nor would they
succeed at tho literary examinations."

A Parisian Inspector of prisons, finding
himself in the town of Caen, took occasion
lo examine the archives of the gaol. In a

An Economical Female.
Yesterday morning tho femalo head of a
family living on Heury street called at a
Woodward avcuuo grocery and nsked for
prunes. Somo prunes wero exhibited and
she inquired:
"Do you warrant them ?"
"Wo do." .
"Perfectly fresh, are they ?"
"Indeed they are."
"No worms in them?"
"Not a worm."
"Full weight, are they ?"
"Full weight', mndame."
"Sweet, aro they ?"
''I warrant then sweet."
"No pits In them?"
"Not a pit."
"And a prize packago with every pound ?"
Bhe asked, after a pause.
"Yes, niadame."
"And a chromo too ?"
"Yes, and a chromo, too."
Sho nibbled nt n prune, kttit her brow.and
finally asked :
"Don't you give a cash premium with
every pound you sell?"
"We do, madnmo; you pay ten cents fora
pound of prunes, and get n chromo, a prizo
package, aud n cash premium of fifty cents.
Shall I do you up a pound ?"
"Well, it seems as if you wanted to bo
fair with yourcustoraers,"sho slowly replied;
"but I guess I won't take any. Seems to
mo ten cents per pound is rather too much
for prunes these times, when .butter is down
and calico is down, and shoes are awful
cheap."

Wampum that ls.strlngi of shells ground
down sa that each piece was about the slzo
of a grain of corn was used by tho Indians
for ornament and for barter. The early col
onists, through trading with tho Indians,
becamo accustomed to this article, and used
it to somo extent among themselves. But as
it would not be taken by tho merchants in
Europe for goods ordered from them, a me
tallic currency was then demanded.
In 1055, therefore, tho General Court of
Massachusetts issued at Boston some silver
pieces of the value of twelve aud ot six En
glish pennies each. Theso colus wero mere
ly round, flat pieces of silver, with "N. E"
(New England) on tho ono side, aud tho
value, XII., VI., on the other. Tho frugal
authorities wasted no money on engraving,
not even announcing tho year in'whlch the
coins wero issued,
This comago was, however, so distasteful,
becauso of tho absence ot any design, that
another series was at ouco issued, on somo
of which is a scraggy oak-tree, inclosed in a
circle of dots, outside of which nro tho
words ' Ma. nchusots, lu," whllo rou'ud tho

occasional issues took place during nearly
