The hill of Life we're travelling, John,
lias been a long one tu us two ;
Tut ell tbe world aro travelling on
Tho si-lf-samo hill with me and you.
Somo are up; some are foi lowing ;
Otbors oiiiubing, just havo tried ;
Eul wo have passed the top, Juhn,
And are creeping doirn tho othor side.
As wo came up, wo fnw the Sun, John,
Gilding tho hillside fair;
Beauty smiled o'er all ; and Fame, John,
, bpnrklcd o'er Life, and banished Cere.
Pa?t the Summit, now the Lay
Sends shadows only for onr guide ;
The Sun shines cold and far nway,
As we hobblo down the other side.
Give mo your honest hnnd, John ;
There, a grasp so stronr nnd true
Will he as nn nircotionnto bund. John,
To bind in love the hearts of two.
Thus patiently joining alonu,
The days of our life swiftly glide,
Whilo wo look in hope to the time
When we'ro safo down the shady side.
We're journeying. Peon 'neath the sod, John,
We both shall quiotly rest.
Eow lowly ; pass under the rod, Pon ;
In tho futuro we shall bo blest.
Hands grow weak, but hearts are strong ;
Nearer we approuoh the Tide;
A firm grasp of the har.d. not long, John,
And wo'ro safe down tlio shady aide.

bis remarks spoke ft' Wilkes Booth as
follows:
No just, dispassionate man could claim
thnt Booth was acting from a mistaken pa
triotism when be committed tho hideous
deed. It w is a groveling personal ambition
that prompted the assassin in his. dait ali'e
work. Excited by leve of notoriety nnd ip
plause. Booth flung himself into the f.rms of
a few murderous conspirators, and with tlietn
hatched tlie plot for assassinating iho Presi
dent. ?fr. Murdoch remembered that on one
occasion, when Booth was: cast lot the char- !
ncler of I.'.', -rh.1 ac 3l.ioi',in Schiller's tragedy j
01 "The Robbers," be wanted tbe stage
earpcuter so to arrange the scenes that nt a i
eirtiti ; ti: jc in tho progre'n of .the Hay he j
would h'irl himself down a precipice from a
gieit height. They expostulated with him I
iig.ihist tbe fiirangement. but be insisted on I
having b;s plan carried out, saying that no I
matter whetlier l e was killed or not by the
f ill, the jump would bo sensational, and
would "bring down the house." So.il was
with the lait despeiate ami terrible act of bis
life. A band cf rebels, know ing that he was I
ambitious to do something tragic for the i
, cause that was fast losing its strength, en
couraged liitn iu bis idle plans ami gave him
j an ostensible leadership of their party only
j to fire bis excited brain with their hellish
(plot, for tho murder of Mr. Lincoln. Tbe
mantle oi -Junius irutua Booth tue elder itnl
not fall upon the shoulders of John Wilkes,
and the cousciousuws of that fact rankled in
Booth's heart, though it did not rullle his
handsome brow. The tool in the hands of
bis designing companions, he was made to
believe that the fame he coveted was to be
gained only by performing tbe last bloody
act of that iong aud disastrous tragedy. Tbe
imi enitent ones South wanted a man to
strike the final blow, anil they would lift
him on their shoulders and give him tbe first
place iu the new nation they thought to tear
w:iea nuarchy and bloodshed nan iiestioyeti
tho old. A weak and tuisernbe ambition
led Boolh to tho ten ible crime ofmurdei ing
iu cold blood the nation's best benefactor,
and, in thing that fatal shot, ho brought
upon himself all thu abhorrence that tho

Tue Cr.ors.-The November report of the
Department of Agriculture stales that the
increase of the wheat barveat i9 scarcely
more than three per cent, over last year.
This result has been occasioned by the di- J
minulion iu tho obi States of tho yield per
sere, which neutralizes the increase of the
area of productiou. The oat harvest is light,
except in the Western Siates, in Nebraska
tlie increase being 21 per cent, over last
year. Tlie corn crop is reported as having
bceu injured by the wet weather, and later
by tbe frost The total product will be
less than is Deeded for tbe country, but will
be larger la quantity than It was in 1867,
which was a very unfavorable season. Buck
wheat is generally deficient iu its return.
Potatoes are reported as yielding a lull aver
age crop, with a deficieuey of 10 per cent,
in New York and Pennsylvania, and 20 pet
cent. In Illinois. Tbe cotton crop, it is
stated, will oe leas than last year by 15 to
20 per cent., owing to the depredations of
the army worm, ana to tne heavy rains in
the southwest.

says Oar.ticr, "and I will judge the mind," I
aud it does seem quite as natural that the

shades of tho hair should indicate the tsm- j
pcrament.
What sloth, for instance, dops the ohese 1

Tho brunette with slender, very sltnder

The olive skinned maid, with a pretty, round
limb, will make you happy. The blonde
with bilge limbs, will degenerate at thirty
live into tho possession of a pair of onkLa
double the natural size, and afilictcd with

thin limbs will get up at half past live iu the

The little rosy girl, with a sturdy, muscular
well turned leg, will ba just the girl you

If you can lind n red haired girl with a

The short, lady should always possess a

No doubt these hints are reliable, and the

Death of Jamks Rothschild. The ca
ble announces tho death of Baron James
Rothschild at Paris. Ho was the last sur
vivor of the five sons of Mayer Anselm
Rothschild, tin' foiindi-r of t lie famous Roths
child family. .The latter was born in Frank-fort-on-the-Maiu
in 1741), and educated for
a Rabbi, but commenced business as a small
trader, and, after holding a situation for
somo time iu a Hanoverian banking-house,
ho returned to Frankfort, and established
himself as a banker in that city. Thu rich
Landgrave of Hesse. William IX, mailt; him
his Imrl.er, niid in 17LI2, when the French
General Cosiine imposed upon tho Frankfort
Senate a heavy ransom as the alternative of
sacking the city, be was tbst employed as n
negotiator id government loans. This event
may probably be regarded as the origin of
tho immense wealth lor which the family
bus since become so famous. He had ten
children, live of them sous, all of whom sur
vived him. Wo mention them in the order
of their ages. Ansebn, w in) was born June
12, 1 77 and died December 0, 18i"io, was
his father's, partner aud successor ut Frank
fort. Si.loinou, who was born in 1 7 74, and
died in 1405, was at first the traveling part
ner of tho firm, but eventually settled in
Vienna. Nathan Mayer was born in 1777,
aud died in 1630. He settled in London in
1 "93, nnd beeaino tho most prominent finan
cier of the family. Charles, who was born
in 17ijcl, and died in 185:), took up his resi
dence at Naples in 1821. James, tho last of
the live, was bom on May 3, 171)2, was as
sociated for a time with his brother Solomon
in Vicuna, but finally settled in Paris, where
ho died.
These five brothers during their lives con
stituted a firm in which ail had an equal
interest, but conducted their business in
Uvo brunches, each of the brothers taking
charge of olio hraucb. As is generally
known, the house has beer) for years past
tho principal taker of thu loans of the Eu
ropean governments, and so potential has
it been financially that in some instances it
has been able to compel the maintenance of
peace by declining to turnisli tlio unews oi
war. 1 he urni now consists of members nt
the third and fourth generations ol the
family, James, who has just died, being tbe
Inst member ot the second. 1 lie leading
active partucr is Baron Nathan Lionel Roths
child, of Loudon, a son of Nathun Mayer,
the third son of the founder or tbd lanuly.
The members oi tbe family have generally
intermarried, so thut their immense wealth
will bo likely to remain concentrated in a
few bands for many years. They have now
bunking houses in most of tbe large cities of
the world. ,Vahimjtue Chronicle:.
