M!OW.BOC C'OTTAWE.
BY J. Q. WU1TT1ER.
A hard, dull bitterness of cold
The c imlng of the snowstorm told.
Meanwhile we did our nightly chores.
Brought In tho wood from out-of doors.
Shut In from all the world without,
We lit the clean-winged hearth about.
The house-dog, on hi! pawi outspread,
Laid to the fire bli drowsy head ;
The cat's dark silhouette on tho wall
A couchant tiger! i.med to fall ;
And for the winter's fireside meet.
Between the andiron's i raddllng foet
The mug of cider limmcrel slow.
The apples sputtered in a row.
And close at band the basket stood
With nuts from brown October's wood.
Our fathar rode again his ride
Uo Mempnremagog'i wooded side ;
Sit down again to moose anj lamp
In trapper'! hut and Indian camp.
Our mother, while ihe turne I lha wheel
Or run the new knit stocking heel.
Told bow the Indian horde! came down
At midnight on Cocheco town.
Our uncle, Innocent of books.
Wax rich in lore of fields and brocks.
Next, the dear aunt, whose stnlls of cheer
Ami voice in dreams I loe an 1 hear,
The sweetest worn in ever Fate,
Perverse, denied a household mate.
There, too, our elder sister plied
Hcrovenlng task the stand beside
A full, rich nature, free to trust.
Truthful, and almost iternly juot.
t'pon the motely-braldcd mat
t Mir youngest and our dearest sat.
Brisk wieldor of the birch and rule.
The master ol the district school
Held at the fire his favored place ;
Its warm glow lit a laughing face.
We heard once more the slelghbcll! i jund,
The wise old doctor went bis round,
J ust pausing at our door to say,
In the brief autocratic way.
That some poor neiithbor, sick abe 1,
At night our u other's aid w juld need.
And while, with care, oar mother laid
The work aside, her iteps she stayed
One moment, seeking to express
Her trratelul sense of happiness
For food and snoltar, warmth an 1 health,
And love's cementmenl more than wealth.

A few da

I beard tbat he
was very ill ia bed, spitting blood, so
I paid biui a visit aod fouud bim

as wet could be; it bad no curtains,
the trout door was wide open, ibe
tire a few hot coals of wood, which
wa kept '.here to be blown into a
flame ben needed fur cooking or
farm purposes.
He had no medicine, no special
f xid, but Was living like tbe oiberd

and to tell ber that sbe ought to do

Turilax IS Tables.
Same tiua a ia Hot there wji a
number of army officers stopping at
a hotel iu Wasbiugton. Ana ug tn-m
was a Captaiu Jones, wbo was a fi st
rate fellow, a good officer aad very
pompous.
Eaiersoa and Jones used to bave a
good deal of j king together at tbe
table BDd t-lsew bere. Oue day at ibe
dinner table, when the dining ball
was well filled. Captaiu Jones buiiD
ed bis oiuuer first, got up aud walked
almost io the diuiug tall door, wbea
Emerson spoke lo bim in a loud aoice,
aud said :
"Halloo, Captain ! see here ; I
want to speak tu you a mioute."
Tbe Cap ain lurued aud walked
back to tbe table aud bent over to
bim, wben Emerson whispered:
"I want to ask you how far yoo
would have gone if 1 bad not spoken
to you ?"
Tbe Captain never changed a mus
cle, but straigbteued op and put his
tiugers into bis vest pocket aud said,
in a voice loud enough for all to bear
bim :
"Captain Emerson, I kon't mow a
maniu the world 1 had rather lend
$5 to tban you, but tbe fact is I
haven't got a cent witb me to day,"
and turned ou bis heel and walked
away.
Eaaerson was the color ot half a
doz-a rainbows, but be bad la stand
it. 11-a never heard tbe last ot it, and
it cost bim more lhaa $10 ta treat
on it.
'I Acknowledge lh Cara."
The origin of this phrase is thus
stated: lu Andrew Stewart, a
member of Congress, said ia a speech
that Obio, Keutucky and Indiana
sent their hay stacks, corn fields aud
fodder to New York aud Pbiladelpbia
for sale. Wickliffe, of Keutucky,
called bim to order, declaring tbat
those Stales did not send bay stack-
or corn fields to New York for sale.
'Welt, wbat do you send?' asked
Slew art.
'Wby. horse?, mules, cattle and
hogs'
'Well, wbat makes your horses,
mules, cattle aod bogs ? Yoa feed
lU0 worth of hay to a horre. Yoa
take, at thirty-three cenw a bushel,
to fatten a bog ?'
'Why, thirty bobel?.'
