"V. Ail thou drowsy, dull, indifferent, .
. ' Folder of the idle hands, . .
Dreaming o'er the silent falling
!' Of life's measured sands?
; Living without air or motion
Save thyself to please,
Careless as the Leasts that perish,
Sitting at thine case?
Not for thee the mighty message
Kings in startling tone ;
Vainly would itg pealing accents
Strike through hearts of stone.
Sounding o'er the clash and clutter
Of this earth's vain din.
Unto you that live in earnest,
Aud that work to win.
Thus it speaks: "Aspirant, toilers
For pome lofty gain,
See ye ppend not strength and spirits,
Hope and faith in vain !
'All that soars past self is noble
Every upward aim
Make it nobler yet the noblest!
An immortal fame !
"Let not good or great content ye,
Higher and still higher,
Only for thctest, the greatest,
Labor and aspire. ,
"Spurning all that's partial, doubtful,
All your vigor bend
(Worthiest aim and worthiest effort)
To a perfect end !
; "Thus have all true saints before ye, .
AH true heroes striven,
lleaehing for the best afid highest
Ueyond earth to Heaven."
An Astonished Old Ladv.
' An old lady whose home is in the coun
try, and who hadn't been iu Cincinnati for
several years, tame in yesterday to do some
trading, her principal business being one of
the eventful incidents in her life, the pur
chase of a new bonnet. She hadn't had a
bonnet since she was in Cincinnati the last'
time, and that was seven years ago; nor
had she seen any of the new fangled con
trivances "trifles light as air" which the
women wear now-a-days in the place of
bonnets. As a new bonnet was the engross
ing theme in her mind on entering the city,
of course she was on the alert at once to see
what the fashion was. Imagine her con
sternation, then, in standing on 4th street,
watching the people as they passed by.
For a time she was perfectly speechless,
and then she was observed to throw up her
hands and exclaim :
"For the land's sake 1 are wimmins all
crazy, gaddin' through the streets with
nothin' on their blessed heads? What has
become of all their bunnits?' '
She went into a millinery .store, and ac
costed a "gentlemanly and obliging" young
lady in attendance.
"You see, 1 came in the liull way from
Clannount county to buy a bunnit. I've
worn this one goin' on eight year. It's a
little oat of fashin, I reckon, and 1 want one
that is right in style. 1 didn't know what
. the women was wearin', so I stood out here
a blessed hour to see 'em pass, and I hoie
never to see my old man agin if I saw one
with a bunnit on durin' the hull time!
Some had a doll's hankerchcr laid on the
top of the head ; others had what looked
for all the world like oyster patties trimmed
with blow'd glass, and I dccUtir to goodness
if one woman with a nittabagy turnip on
the back of her head, in a fly net, wore any
coverin 'ceptin' a yallcr circus ticlcettied on
with a ribbin !' '
When informed the styles she had seen
were the latest thing in the bonnet line, the
old lady's astonishment increased, and she
was thoroughly bewildered by the time she
had examined each of the varieties embra
ced in the milliner's collection. Particularly
when she learned the accompanying prices.
She looked at her old bonnet, which had
been preserved so carefully during the chan
girfg fashions of seven years? and compared
it with the fashions of to-day, when the old
lady fairly wept. She declared it was e
nough to drive one crazy to see such vanity
as the women are running to now days.
"Twan't so...when I was a gal," said she.
"Womwrwore "trarroits in them days that
kivered their heads, add tied 'em under the
chin instid of fast'n 'eoi to the back hair."
She left in great disgust, and said she would
go right back to Clairmouut and wear her
old bonnet till the milliners got to making
bonnets again.
Anderson, the wizard, met with a Yan
lee, who stole a march on him, one day, after
the following pattern :
"I say, are you Professor Anderson?"
'Yes, sir, at your service.
"Wa'al, you're a tarnation smart man.
and I'm something at a trick, too, kinder
cute, deu ye know."
"Ah, indeed, what trick arc you up o?"
asked the Professor, amused at the simple
fellow.
'Va'al I can take a red cent and change
it into a ten dollar gold piece. ' '
"Oh, that's a mere slight-of-hand trick ;
I can do that too."
'No, you can't; I'd like to see you try."
' ' : u0, oufc yur paw with a cent
lying in it. This is your cent, is it, sure."
"It's nothing else."
, "Hold on to it tight presto chango 1
Now open your hand."
Yankee opened his fist and there was a
gold eagle shining on his palm.
"Wa'al, you did it. I declare; much
oblecged to you," and Jonathan turned to
go out.
"Stay," said the Professor, "you may
leave my ten dollars."
"Yours! warn't it my cent? and didn't
you turn it into that yaller thing, ch ? (loud
bye !" and as he left the room he was heard
to say, "I guess there ain't anything green
about this child."
We have all heard of asking for bread and
receiving a stone, but a young gentleman
may be considered as still worse treated,
when he asks for a young lady's hand and
gets her Xather's foot.
"Mr. Jones, I understand you said Isold
you a barrel of cider that had water in it."
"No, no," was the reply, "I only said that
you sold me a barrel of water that had cider
ink."
