AN IDLE iDYIj.
Say, maiden fair,
Of modest air.
That passeth by rue daily ;
Lurks there a care
Beneath tbe hair
W'hichJcrowDs thy head so gayly ?
Eyes black as ink,
And cheeks of pink,
With lips tht pout so sweetly,
My heart does sink ;
Dost ever think
Of ankle turned so neatly ?
I last thou a thought
Of ruin wrought
By charms so proud, so human ?
Wert thou not taught
That man is caught
By gazing on the woman ?
Dost thon not know
That grievous woe
Thy footsteps follow lightly ;
That storm will blow,
Unless 'tis so,
Thy lover guards thee nightly ?
In humble cot,
I'd link my lot,
My faith to thee fast pinning ;
And time shall not
Abate one jot
The love I had when winning.
What's that you say ?
Your answer nay ?
It must then be I've tarried.
Xo hopeful ray
Illumes my way
As whispers she, " I'm married."

RATIFYING THE TICKET.
Great Republican Demonstration
at the National Capital. .
SENATOR SHERMAN'S STRONG SPEECH.
A Graceful Tribute to the Plumed Knight and
Powerful Argument In Favor of the Continuation
of Republican Supremacy Other Addresses.
Washington. June 19. The first
ratification of the action of the Chi
cago Convention by the Republicans
of the District of Columbia took
place to-night with the accompani
ments of a large and enthusiastic
audience, electric lights, fire-works,
a display of tiags and bunting, a
fine band of music and the speeches
of some of the best oratorical talent
of Congress.
The meetine was held in front ol
the City Hall, which faces on a
square Having an area 01 uiree or
four acres, and this large space was
filled with an audience of several
thousand. Three large platforms
were erected on the City Hall piazza,
and from there theBDeakers address
ed tbe assemblage.
Judge Shellabarger, of Ohio, pre
sided at the principal platlorm, on
which some of the most prominent
Republicans in olhcial hie had sat,
OPENING THE MEETING.
General Hawley called the meet-
ing to oraer, auer wnicn juage
Shellabarger opened it in a speech
in which he referred to the nomina
1 j. 1 I T 1
ting conventions as the uncontrived
contrivances that have grown up
outside of the laws and ol the Con
stitution. The nominee of the Re
Dublican party he described as the
fittest person, all things considered,
that could have been selected. He
was, perhaps, the best known man
in the country, and was the purest
and most exalted man in the he
public. Cheers. Mr. Blaine was
not " a good man," in the sen3e of
Mr. Surface and Mr. Pecksniff, and
the men who go to a convention and
then refuse to abide by it. Mr.
laine was not a good man in the
ft l llttC iuub muoc uicu ncic guuu,
There were but one or two such
"good men "in a million. Fortu
nately such men did not propagate
their species. If the people were
argelv made up of such men the
institutions of the country would
break up in a " chaos of archangels."
Cheers and laughter Y lie eulogiz
ed John A. Logan lor his patriotism
and bravery.
Hon. A. M. Clanp here placed in
nomination a list of vice-presidents
of the meeting, who were elected by
rousing yea by the meeting.
Judge William Lawrence, of Ohio,
read a series of resolutions endorsing
and ratifying the Republican nomi
nations lor President and Vice Pres
ident, and setting forth reasons why
Uiaine and Logan should be sup
ported and elected by those who had
at heart the best interests of the
country. The resolutions were
adopted with cheers.
SENATOR SHERMAN S SPEECH.
Judge Shellabarger introduced
Ion. John Sherman as the first
speaker of the meeting. Mr. Sher
man said :
It is one of the curious customs of
American politics that when any
body is notified for office his compe
titors are the first to be called upon
to vouch for the wisdom of the
choice. Perhaps that is the reason
why I am called upon now. Though
did not consider myselt mucn ot a
candidate, I am ready to accept, ap
prove and ratify the action ot tne
Chicago Convention.
I will support the nomination
cheers of Blaine and Logan as
heartily as I have done those of
Fremont and Lincoln and Grant and
Hayes and Garfield. Applause.
And this I would do, fellow-citizens,
even if they were less worthy than I
know them to be of the distinguish
ed honor proposed . for them. I
would do it for my own honor. I
have no patience with any man
who, for himself or any other per
son, would take his chances for
success in a political convention,
and when disappointed would seek
to thwart the action of the conven
tion. Political conventions are in
dispensable in a republican govern
ment, tor it is only by such agencies
that opposing theories can be
brought to the popular judgment
These can only be presented by
candidates chosen as standard bear
ers of a Mag, or of a cause, or a posi
tion. WHAT TEE TICKET REPRESENTS.

of over 800 delegates representing
the Republicans ol every btate.
county and district in the broad ex
tent of our great country is admitted
by every man whose voira has been
heard. They are not "dark horses."
Their names are famous, and the evi
and cood that men could say of
them has been said with a license
that is a shame to free discussion
1 ravelins in peace ana in war
through the memorable events of
quarter of a century, they have kept
their place in the busy jostling of a
political life well 10 the foreground
And now thev have been selected
from among millions of their coun
trymen to represent not themselves
but the Republican party of the
United States. They represent the
American union, one and indivisi
ble, snatched by war from the perils
of secession and disunion. They
represent a strong .National uovern
ment, able, I trust, in time not only
to protect our citizens from foreign
tyranny, but from local cruelty, in
tolerance and oppression.
They represent that party in this
country which would scorn to ob
tain or hold power by depriving by
crime and fraud more than a million
men of their equal rights as citizens.
I hey represent a party that would
give to the laboring men ol our
country the protection of our reve
nue laws against undue competition
with foreign labor. They represent
tbe power, the achievements and the
aspirations of the Republican party
that for now twenty-four years has
been greatly trusted by the people,
and in return has greatly advanced
your country in wealth and strength,
intelligence, courage and hope, and
in the respect and wonder of man
kind.
CHARACTER OP THE OPPOSING FORCES.
Fellow Republicans, we are about
to enter into no holiday contest.
You have to meet the same forces
and principles that opposed the
Union army in war; that opposed
the abolition of slavery : that sought
to impair the public credit ; that re
sisted the resumption of specie pay
ment They are recruited here and
there by a deserter from our ranks ;
but, meanwhile, a generation of
younger men are comiDg to the
front in the South as well as in the
North.
They have been educated amidst
memorable events with patriotic ar
dor, loye of country, pride in its
strength and power. They are now
determined to overthrow the narrow
Bourbon sectionalism of the Demo
cratic party. They live in the moun
tains and the plains' in the West
They breathe the fresh air of the
hills of Virginia, North Carolina and
Tennessee. They are the hardy,
liberty-loving laborers of every state.
They come from the Fatherland ;
they come from Old Ireland ; there
are the active spirits, native and
naturalized, of a generation of free
men who never felt the incubus of
slavery and who wish only as Amer
icans, to make stronger and plant
deeper the principles of the Repub
lican party. It is to those men we,
who have grown old in conflict,
wish now to hand over the banner
we have borne. Let them take it
and ' advance it to higher honors.
Let them spread, the influence of
our Kepuoncan institutions isorth
and South, until the whole conti
nent of America shall be a brother
hood of republics.
Let them assert the rights of
American citizenship, so that they
will be respected as were the rights
of citizens of the Roman Republic.
Let them deal with this most diffi
cult and subtle problem of social
politics so as to secure to the man
who labors the just share ot the fruits
of his labor. Let them improve
even upon the protective policy we
have pursued, so as to diversify eur
industries, and plant in all parts of
our country tbe workshops of mil
lions of well-paid, contented citizens.
Let them do what we have not been
able to do since the war restore our
commerce to every port, and protect
it under our Hag in every sea.
Mv countrymen, I regret to say it,
you cannot accomplish any of these
great objects of National desire
through the agency of the Demo
cratic party. It cannot be made an
instrument of progress and retorm
Its traditions, its history for twenty
fiveyears and its composition forbids
it. You may punish us for our
shortcomings by its success, butyou
will punish yourselves as well, and
stay the progress of our country. A
party that with U majority in the
House cannot pass a bill on any
subject of party politics, great or
small, is not fit to govern this coun
try. Every advance, every reform, ev
ery improvement, the protection of
your labor, the building of your na
vy, the assertion ot your rights as a
free man, the maintenance of good
money a good dollar, gtod in eye-
ry land, worth a dollar in gold all
these objects of desire must await
the movements of the Republican
party. It may be slow. But if you
turn to the Democratic party you
will always find it watching and
waiting good, pteady citizens of the
olden time grounded on the resolu
tions of J8 and the " times before
the wah."
BLAINE A3 PRESIDENT.
It is said that Blaine is bold and
aggressive, that lie will obstruct tne
business interests of the country.
would like to try such a President
He might shake off some of the
cobwebs of diplomacy and invite
the attention of mankind to the ex
istence of this country. There will
always be conservatism enough in
Congress and inertness enough in
the Democratic party to hold in
check even as brilliant a man as
James G. Blaine. What we want
now is an American policy broad
enough to embrace the continent,
conservative enough to embrace the
rights of every man, poor as well as
rich, and brave enough to do what
is right, whatever stands in the way.
We want protection to American
citizens and protection to American
laborers, a free vote and a fair count,
an assertion of all the powers of the
Government in doing what la right
It is because I believe the adminis
tration of Blaine and Logan will
give us such a policy, and that I
know the Democratic party is not
capable of it, that I now invoke
your aid, and promise you mine to
secure the election of the Republican
ticket
SENATOR HAWLEY'3 ADDRESS.
At the conclusion of Mr. Sher
man's speech, a campaign song, en
titled, " We will follow where the
White Plume waves," was sung by a
glee club of thirty voices, accompa
nied Ly the Marine Band. Senator
Hawley, of Connecticut, was then
introduced and began by calling for
three cheers for James Gillespie
Blaine (heartily responded to); then
for three more for John Alexander
Logan (a like response). Then
some one in the crowd shouted:
" Three cheers for Hawley." Loud
cheers.
General Hawley then continued
his speech. He said the game was
fairly opeaed. He expected to hear
that sort of music for several months
to come, to wind up early in No
vember with a whole night of cheers.
The Republican party was not made
up of ten or hfteen hundred good
men of Boston any more than fif
teen drops of water made the Missis
sippi river, lhe Kepublican party
bad carried on and won the war for
the Union in the face of the prophe
cies of all the enemies ot republican
government all over the world, in
the face of doubts and sometimes in
the face of treason among its own
friends. It had established the
Union: it had established liberty
and shown that the strongest form
of government was that in which al
the people governed. Nor was its
work over. He smiled when he
heard " good men " talk about or
gamzinz a new party in which
pleasant people should have a good
time. Ihev might as well talk of
having an ocean where no man
would ever be seasick and where
sailors would encounter no storms.
As one of those who had received
eveu less support at the Chicago
Convention than the honorable and
distinguished gentleman who had
preceded him (.Senator Sherman),
he had this testimony to bear: That
when the Republic began there never
was a Presidential nomination that
more fairly represented the actual
choice of the people. Cheers. He
bowed to it ; he respected it ; and
he had no doubt of its success.
Loud cheers, followed by the song

Senator Mahone being loudly
called for, spoke at considerable
length :
He said he came to interchange
compliments and greetings with the
Republicans ot the Nation upon the
action ot its Convention at Chicago.
lie made no venture when he as
sured his hearers that every loyal
heart of the old Commonwealth beat
warmly in unison with the senti
ments so earnestly inspiring the
vast assemblage before him. Decid
ed as was the preference, great and
deep as was the devotion of the peo
ple of Virginia for that American
Statesman whose administration
had been so broad and benign, the
Republican party of V lrginia know
no Higher duty man to support
earnestly and heartly the nomina
tions made at Chicago. Cheers. It
has been under such auspices that
Virginia and the South came to re
alize that the National Government
was no longer one of exaction mere-
y us to that btate and section, but
the unquestioned heritage of equal
rights, imn. unities and burdens. It
would be the high ambition of the
Republican party of Virginia to
swell the electoral majority by which
the standard bearers were assured
of election. In this great contest
the twelve electoral votes from that
State, by a constitutional majority
of the people and despite the Bour
bon methods ot the sans culottes and
the shotgun, would, " by the Eter
nal," be given to Blaine and Logan.
Loud cheers.
Senator Frye, of Maine, eulogized
the ticket :
He had been told that the Repub
lican party would have to fight a
defensive battle. Defensive of what,
and defensive of whom ? In 1876
the Democrats had an overwhelming
majority in the House of Represen
tatives. The Presidential election
was coming on then as-it is coming
on now, and .the Democrats deter
mined to bring infamy on the Re
publican party, and put it on the
defensive, and they resolved them
selves into a great investigating
committee. They went to work;
but the moment the investigating
auger penetrated a single inch it
struck every time a writhing and
howling Democrat. Cheers and
laughter. In less than two months
the whole Democratic party was
whistling off the Democratic dogs.
They deliberately determined to tear
the laurels off the brow of the great
Republican leader and to make him
bend low before the American peo
ple. They penetrated the holiest of
the penetralia. They went into the
innermost temple. Nothing was sa
cred to them ; nothing private. One
day Blaine went into the House of
Representatives and said he pro
posed to take into his confidence
50,000,000 of his American fellow
citizens. And then he went on
without oratory, without ornamen
tation, and told his story ; and when
be completed the tale, he charged
upon the Democrats of tbe House,
and routed them, horse, foot and
dragoons. Soon afterwards the Re
publican Convention was held at
Cincinnati, and, although news came
there right on the eve' of ihe nomi
nation that Blaine was dead or dy
ing or that (if he survived) his grand
intellect was dead forever, he came
within a score of votes of clearing
out the whole field and coming off a
conqueror.
If he had not to defend Blaine,
would he have to defend Logan?
Logan was the bravest man in the
country. He never ran from a fight
but always to one. He never dis
obeyed an order, and he often obey
ed orders before he received them.
Cheers and laughter. Logan was
honest and brave. As Blaine, on
the day of bis magnificent perform
ance in the House, couched his lance
and made an onset on the Demo
crats which they would remember
forever, bo be would now again
eraM
couch his lance, and he and Logan
(fighting shoulder to shoulder to
gether with him) would make an
onset, and once more the Democrat
ic hordes would be routed, horse,
foot and dragoons. Cheers.
Senator Harrison, of Indiana, fol
lowed, saying :
Blaine had never lived behind
battlements had never heard the
challenge of mortal foe without
meeting him in the open plain. So
it was with Logan. He did not
usually wait until others sounded
the call to battle. He usually
sounded it himself, and the adver
sary must be quick if he does not
cover half the distauce in getting to
gether. Hon. Chas. A. Routelle, of Maine,
said Maine made no apology for
James G. Blaine; his eulogies were
written on the brightest pages of the
nation's history. This closed the
meeting at the main stand.
ey'ERFLOW MEETINGS.
At one overflow meetinp:, Hon. T.
B. Reed, of Maine, reviewed the rec
ord of the last Congress, and asked
what was to be expected of it
At a third meeting Fred Douglass
presided, and said of the Independ
ents: They are very learned and very
excellent gentlemen, but they are
wholly impracticable. They are
men who would make successful
party organization utterly impossi
ble. They will support a nomina
tion by the majority when they
themselves are with tbe majority,
but not otherwise. It is hardly too
harsh to say that they will rule or
ruin.
Speeches were also made at this
stand by Representative Milliken,
of Maine, who said the candidates
nominated at Chicago would give
the country as patriotic an adminis
tration as it had had since Wash
ington.
Representative Miller, of Pennsyl
vania, said that Blaine wa3 the
choice of that State, and that if he
was not a pure man and an honest
man. representative of the great Re
publican party a representative of
the best elements of that party, of
its honesty, morality and intelli
gence. then God help the people of
Pennsylvania.
speeches were also made by hep-
resentative Belford, of Colorado; ex-
Representative Smalls, (colored), of
South Carolina; Mr. bimon Woln,
formerly United States Consul in
Egypt, and others.
A letter was received from secre
tary Lincoln, expressing his regret
at his inability to be present, and
saying:
1 wish in this way to express my
hearty concurrence in the object of
the meeting. After an unusually
animated discussion throughout the
country as to the choice of a leader
for our Republican forces in the
contest now before us, the Conven
tion of our representatives has se
lected a roan who, in many years of
political battles, bas always been in
the front, and has justly won as
large a share of the admiration and
regard of his fellow-citizens as any
public man of tbe dav. With him
on the ticket is our Illinois Senator
and soldier, who was never found
wanting "in the performance of the
many duties put upon him. For
these two men true and tried pul
lic servants we can ask the votes
not only of our old party friends,
but of all who agree with the pro
gressive yiews of our platform of
principles, and of all who do not
wish to see in power that party
whose want of principle is most
clearly shown in its systematic falsi
fication of the ballots cast by the vo
ters upon whose numbers its repre
sentative strength depends.
The Republican party is the only
one to be looked to to carry out the
principles of civil service reform,
and it is doing so now. It will also
endeavor to secure to every voter
the counting of his ballot and in the
adoption by the country of its plat
form alone can we hope lor a contin
uance of the marvellous prosperity
of our land and the growth of its in
dustries. The meeting will be largely com
posed of citizens from all parts of
the country, and it will be in a sense
. Tl .til
representative, x nope inai dv us
size and enthusiasm, even thus early
in the campaign, an earnest will be
given of the heartiness and vigor
with which all who wish for the sue
cess ol the Kepublican principles
will unite in the support of our can
didates Blaine and Logan.
A letter was also received from
Senator Hale, in which he says :
The ticket represents the earnest
spirit and belief of the party tc-daj,
and I have no doubt the Republi
cans of the country, reinforced by
thousands of honest, intelligent vo
ters from the opposition, who will be
drawn to us by their confidence in
our candidates and their belief in
the great Republican doctrines of
American labor, will take care that
it is triumphantly elected.
At the meeting adjourned,
and the assemblage dispersed.
Mark Twain.
" Mark Twain writes Mr. D. W.
Howells in the Century " was remote-
y of Virginia origin and more re
motely of good English stock ; the
name was well known before his
time in the 60Uth, where a Senator,
a Congressman, and other dignita
ries had worn it ; but his branch of
the family fled from the destitution
of those vast landed possessions in
Tennessee, celebrated in The Gild
ed Age,' and went very poor to Mis
souri. Mr. Clemens was born on
the 30th of November, 1835, at Flor
ida, in the latter State, but his father
removed shortfy afterward to Han
nibal, a small town on the Mississip
pi, where most of the humorist's
boyhood was spent. Hannibal as a
name is hopelessly confused and in
effective ; but if we can know noth-

certainly not in Hannibal which has
grown into a flourishing little city
since Mr. Clemens sketched it In
his time tbe two embattled forces of
civilization and barbarism were en
camped at Hannibal, as they were
at all times and everywhere; the
morality of that place was the mor
ality of a slave-holding community ;
tierce, arrogant, one-sided this vir
tue for white, and that for black
folks ; and the religion was Calvin
ism in various phrases, with its pre
destinate aristocracy of saints and
its rabble of hopeless sinners.
Doubtless young Clemens escaped
neither of the opposing influences
wholly. His people, like the rest
were slaveholders, but his father,
like so many other slaveholders, ab
horred slavery silently, as he must
in such a time and place. II the
boy's sense of justice suffered any
thing ot that perversion which so
curiously and pitiably maimed the
reason of the whole south, it does
not appear in his books, where there
is not an ungenerous line, but al
ways, on the contrary, a burning re
sentment of all manner of cruelty and
wrong.
" The father, an austere and sin
gularly upright man, died bankrupt
when Clemens was twelve years old,
and the boy had thereafter to make
what scramble he could for an edu
cation. He got very little learning
in school, and like so many other
Americans in whom the literary im
pulse ii native, he turned to the lo
cal printing office for some cl the
advantages from which he was oth
erwise cut off. Certain records of
the three years spent in the Hanni
bal Courier ollice are to be found in
Mark Twain's book of sketches ; but
I believe there is yet no history any
where of the vcanderjahi-e, in which
he followed the life of a jour-printer,
from town to town, and from city to
city, penetrating even so for east
Philadelphia aud New York.
" He returned to his own country
his putria sated, if not satisfied,
with travel, and at seventeen he re
solved to 'learn the river' from St.
1-ouU to New Orleans as a steam
boat pilot Of this period of his life
he ha3 given a full acc(su;it iu the
delightful series of papers. 1 Piloting
on the Mississippi,' which he print
ed seven years ago in the Atlantic
Monthly, lhe growih of the rail
roads and the outbreak of the civil
war put an end to profitable piloting
and at twenty-lour he was again
open to a .vocation. He listened for
a moment to the loudly calling
drum of that time, and he was actu
ally in camp for three weeks on the
rebel side but the unorganized force
to which he belonged was disband
ed, and he finally did not 'go with
his section,' either in sentiment or
in fact. His brother having been
appointed Lieutenant-Governor of
Nevada Territory, Mr. Clemens went
out with him as his private secreta
ry ; but he soon resigned his ollice
and withdrew to the mines. He
failed as a miner in the ordinary
sense ; but the lite of the mining-
camp yielded him the wealth that
the pocketa of the mountain denied.
He had the Midas-touch, without
knowing it, and all these grotesque
experiences have since turned into
gold under his hand. After his fail
ure as a miner had become evident
even to himself, he was glad to take
the place of a local editor on the
Virginia City Enterprite, a newspa
per for which he atnVed himself in
writing from time to time. He had
written for the newspapers before
this ; few Americans, escape that
fate ; and ra an apprentice in the
Hannibal Courier office his humor
had embroiled some of the leading
citizens, and impaired the fortunes
of that journal by the alienation of
several delinquent subscribers.
" But it was in the Enterprise that
he first used his pseudonym of
" Mark Twain," which he borrowed
from the vernacular of the river,
where the man heaving the lead
calls out Mark twain ! instead of
u Mark two !" In 18 W he accepted,
on the San Francisco Morning Call
the same sort of place which he held
on the Enterprise, and he soon made
his noni de guerre familiar "on that
coast;" he not only wrote local
items in the Coll, but he printed hu
morous sketches in various period
icals, and two years later he was
sent to the Sandwich Islanda as
correspondent of a Sacramento pa
per. "In 1 SOT, Mr. Clt-mens made in
the Quaker City the excursion to
Europe and the East, which he has
commemorated in "The Innocents
Abroad." Shortly after his return
he married, and placed himself at
Buffalo, where he bought an inter
est in one of the city newspapers ;
later he went to Hartford, where he
has since remained, except for the
two years spent in a second visit to
Europe."
Why ho is Going to Vote fur Blaine.
Three gentlemen well-known in
Democratic circles in tjhis State took
a Fcurth-avenue car at the Grand
Central Station a few days ago, and
came down town. One of thena,
young, slightly built, and dark-haired,
remained on tbe rear platform.
Some pleasantry regarding the fares
was indulged in ; and he said to the
conductor, nodding at a portly form
within :
"If you know who that man is
1 you would not charge him anything.
Thats the Hon. Daniel Manning, of
the Albany Argvs, Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee. And
the other is the Hon. John Bigelow,
ex-secretary of State."
"Oh, yes, I would," was the laugh
ing response; I'd collect from Gener
al Jackson himself.
"Mr. Manning, eh?" continued
the conductor, presently, having
stopped the car to let a lady off!
"Mr. Manning? Well, he might as
well take things easy this year. It's
of no use for him to do anythng.
Blaine is going to be elected.
1 ou don t say I exclaimed the
Deputy State Treas that is, the
aei'e. dark-haired young man
Yes, sir. I'm a Democrat, and
have always vote the Democratic
ticket: but I'm going to vote for
Blaine ; Blaine ; and I know lots of
the boys that will, too. lhe con
ductor, a handsome and intelligent
Irishman, was becoming earnest
"Why, how a that?"
"Ill tell you. I friend of mine,
who didn't have any more to do with
conspiracies than you have, went
over to the old country a year ago.
He was watched, and arrested, an!
questioned all about his birthplace ;
and he had a deal of trouble. Now,
I don't want to be served that way!
I want a President that will protect
me if I go across. I'm an American
I was born in the parish next to that
which Senator Logan s father cams)
j from, in Roscommon ; but this is my
country now. it s tbe best country
I'll ever have. And I want the
American Government to take care
of me when I'm abroad. No Presi
dent that I know of ever would do
so. No other man that is likely to
run this year would. I believe Mr.
Blaine will. There are thousand
of Irish-Americans in this State that
think so, too. and will vote for him
and don't you forget it Twenty
third street? Theyre you are."
As the tris of Democratic states
men left the car, the conversation
was promptly rehearsed to the Chair
man ot the Democratic State Com
mittee, who laughingly looked back
and shook his hand at the rapidly
disappearing Irishman.
"And it was only a day or two af
ter that," Said the conductor, re
counting the incident, "that Tilden's
letter came out saying he wouldn't
run."
Laughter a MeUUine.
A short time since two individuals
were lying in one with brain fever
and the other with an aggravated
case of mumps. They were heeded
every night, and it was thought
doubtful if the one sick of fever
could recover. A gentlemen was
engaged to watch over night, his du
ty being to wake the nurse whenev
er it became necessary to administer
whenever it became necessary to ad
minister medicine. In the course of
the night both watcher and nurse
fell asleep, The man with the
mumps lay watching the clock, and
saw it wa3 time to give the fever pa
tion. He was unable to speak aloud
or to move any portion of his body
except his arms, but seizing a pillow
he managed to strike the watcher in
the face with it, who, thus suddenly
awakened, sprang from his seat, fall
ing to the floor and awakened both
the nurse and the fever patient.
Tho incident struck the sick man
as very ludicrous, and they laughed
heartily at it for some fifteen or
twenty minutes. When the doctor
came in the morning he found his
patient vastly improved, said he
never knew so sudden a turn for
the better, and now both are up and
well. Who says laughter is not the
best of medicines? And this' re
minds the writer of another case.
A gentleman was suffering from an
ulceration of the throat which at
length became so swollen that his
life was despaired of. His house
hold came to Ins bedside to bid him
farewell. Eacli individual shook
hands with the dying man and then
went away weeping. Last of all
came a pet ape, and shaking the
man's hand went away also with its
eyes. It was so ludicrous a sight
that the patient was forced to laugh
and laughed so heartily that the ul
cer broke and his life was saved.

No, I won't drink with you to
day, boys," said a drummer to sev
eral companions as they settled
down in the smoking car and passed
the bottle. "The fact is, boys, I have
quit drinking. I have sworn
off."
" What '3 the matter with you. old
boy?" sang out one. "If you've
quit drinking, something's up ; what
is it?"
" Well boys, I will tell you. Yes
terday I was in Chicago. Down on
South Clark street a customer of mine
keeps a pawn shop in connection
with his other business, I called
on him, and while I was there a
young man of not more than 2T,
wearing threadbare clothes, and
looking as hard as if he hadn't seen
a sober day for a month, came in
with a little package in his hand.
He unwrapped it and handed the
article to the pawnbroker, saying:
'(iive me ten cents.' And, boys,
what do yon suppose it was? A
pair of baby shoes ; little things
with the bottoms only a trifle soiled,
as if they had been worn only once
or twice. ' Where did you get these?'
asked the pawnbroker. Got 'em at
home, replied the man, who had an
intelligent face and the manner of a
gentleman, despite his sad condition.
' My wife bought them for our baby.
Give me 10 cents for 'em I want a
drink.' ' You had better take the
shoes back to your wife ; the baby
will need them, said tne pawn
broker. ' No, s-she won't, because
she's dead. She's lying at home
now died last night' As he said
this the poor fellow broke down,
bowed his head on the show case
and cried likeachild. Boys," said
the drummer, 'you can laugh if you
please; but I I have a baby at
home, and I swear I'll never drink
another drop "
