Or stiffen, my lord,, into etooe.
Only a heart, it was fcesb and young,
Aod tender and warm, I know:
As pure as the spirit of chastity,

Nothing is lost; let II die, my lord:
Let its death be quick or slow;

"Olivia, " writing to the Philadelphia

history:
Once upon a time one of those giant In
tellects of a past generation gave a large
dinner party at one of the fashionable ho
tels at tbe capital. A ptivate table had
beeo set la one ot tbe parlors, tbe hour of
the feast bud arrived, tbe guests wire as
sembled, tbe dinner was perfect, but astet
isbment reigned supreme, for tbe host him
self waa ao where to be found. Among tbe

Buohaoan to aom of lb more youthful Of
tbe company, "Take this man to hi room;
be might say something be would regret,'
aod so tbe boat was led, without opposition
away. Next day when explanation and
apologiea were duly set forth, tbey were
received In tbe kindest spirit, because Mr.
Buchanan bad paved the way for them tbe
night before by (eying to Ibe company:
'Our host bas been unfortunate. Tbe

We have been spared. Let us be meroiful

In putting down a well lor water, near tbeir

formed to sink another weft In a more con

like result. Water is more to be desired
from the well elteady duwn, than oil, be
