The father and mother were dead, jand their last prayers had been for him. |He stood alone, but he had the support Attorneys at of a nation and the homage of a world. So it seemed to him, but down in their hearts men feared and envied and hat- ed him. I saw an old man as a winter’s night settled gloomily down over the deso- late land. He was old and weak and hungry and poor. He was thinly clad, and he shivered in the raw air. He stood at the corner, his trembling hand held out in mute appeal to the passers-by, but no one gave him alms. Some had their vision blinded by the falling flakes j others mocked at and cursed him. For a long hour he hungered and shiv- ered and asked only for what would buy a crust of bread, and then he bow- ed his head still lower and dr himself further away into the bitter darkne And men cailed after him in heartless tones: ‘‘The County House lis the place for beggars!’ I saw a stiff, frozen corpse at the | morgue.

Had he not ed Mr. Weed’s suggestions, he would, without a doubt, have reach- 'ed the summit of his political ambition. In the spring of 1839 Mr. Weed went to Washington, and called Mr. Web- | Ster into the cloak-room of the capitol. “I think [ shall be the whig candi- date,’? Mr. Webster said. Mr. Weed expressed doubt. ‘‘Who then will be?” asked the senator. *‘[t looks to me like Harrison,”’ said Mr. Weed. Mr. Webster declared that Harrison stood no chance. ‘You are misinformed,’ he said. *‘The party will choose a man with longer civi! exprience, who is bet- er adapted to the place.’’ ‘*The ques- tion is,’ said Mr. Weed, ‘‘who will 1 the most votes?” <‘Well,’’? said . Webster, ‘‘very well; but what does this mean? You are going to choose a Scott delegation in New York.” That, Mr. Weed explained, was to keep New York away from Mr. Clay. Then he wenton: ‘You do not see me here to argue about that. What I came for and what I want is for you to be willing to accept the support of New York for the vice presidency in case my prediction about General Har- tison is Verified.’ As Mr. Webster would not listen to this, Mr. Weed’s thoughts turned on Mr. Clayton, of Del- aware, as 2 candidate for vice presi- ‘dent, and Mr. Clayton would have been nominated had not his name been with- drawn at the last moment. When the convention was about to be held, and | Mr. Webster's friends saw that he stood no chance for the place, they were free to support Gen. Harrison or Mr. Clay. Two years later, when Gen. Harrison was dead and Mr. Tyler was president, Mr. Webster, as secretary of state un- der the late vi ident, had sbun- dant leisure to r t upon his conver- sation in the cloak-room at the capitol. —‘Memoir of Thurlow Weed.” a —__—_ It was one of the older Wallacks of | whom the story is told that among a group of actors and newspaper men the subject of antiquity of families came up. ‘The Wallacks,’’ remarked | he, “are of great antiquity; in fact the ; country in which they originated still | bears theirname; in fact was named {for them—Wallachia”’ ‘Very like- ly,”’ said William Warren, of the party, ‘removing his cigar from his mouth; | “the name certainly indicates it, Now, | there’s my washerwoman, Moll Davis; | her family undoubtedly originated in !

Librarian Poole Says It Is Superior to That of the Past. “How does the literature of the pres- ent compare with that of the past, Mr. Poole?”’ the librarian of the public li- brary was asked. “By iiterature you mean fiction, I suppose,’” was the cautious answer; “and then I'll say that itis vastly su- perior to fiction writings of former times, and that the moral tone espec- ially has immeasurably improved.”’ “How do individual are? For instance, Sterne and George Eliot??? “Sterne is unique. He stands out alone in literature. The same is true of Fielding. He, also, is inimitable in the treatment of b plot, in dialogue, in patho: nd humor. One cannot compare either wi © writers and they had no Tyndall 2s in its le, ete.,the -rior.

I think ing Hume wrote i ill worth reading. In fact, Hume’s miscellane- ous writings are read to-day as much as they ever were. And that brings me to the statement that the writers of antiquity are read more to-day than they ever were. Plato and Homer, for instance, though we have a dozen trans- lations of them are so much in demand that we sre always without them here in the library. Dante, too, is more widely read than ever. And single works, such as ‘Demosthenes’ Oration on the Crown,’ were never so much read as now. Such works are immor- tal.” “And how do the writers of the present in point of numbers compare with their brethren in the past?” “Very much superior of course. There is no comparison, in fact. And as for style and artistic development of plot, ete., there has been a great im- provement of late. Miss Frances Bur- ney and Sam Richardson, for instance, who used to be considered mode's in the artistic planning of their stories, are very crude in their methods as com- pared with to-day’s writers of fiction.” ‘How about historical writings? Has there not been 2 great improvement?” *‘The best contemporaneous writers on histery are very much ahead of those of the past.

Why, thee’st be afraid to go down to the church to-night at 12 o'clock. Religion, eh! This was a sort of a challenge, was good Poor John, sir, in the simplicity of his heart, thought the credit of his religion was really at stake, and screwing up his courage, he said quietly: ‘No, I bean’t afraid to go to the church by night or by day.” ‘Will thee go to-night, then, and let’s see what your religion is made of?’ ‘Yes, I will.” They waited till midnight, and John started, sir. The farm was not far up from the val- ley. The question was now they should know he had been to the church. A lan was hit upon. He was to take a arge spike nil and a hammer, and to drive the nail into the church door. John went off with his hammer, nail, and a lantern; and he told me after- ward, years afterward when he was a preacher—yes, sir, he never forgot it— *As I went down among the trees,’ says John, ‘and the wind moaned, I felt a little queer, but I got to the church all right, though just as I was going into the wind came whistling round the church, and out went my light.

Talking nbout snakes’ food, I once heard a toid me by a. Spanish teacher living in the ;, Which takes the cake. He hunting in Braz ning back an old the party to be eareful, for in front of them was a snake sixty feet in length. The snake had just finished eating a deer, but had been unable to swallow the horns, and they were sticking out of the snake’s mouth. The gentleman said it wes a common thing in South America for snakes to eat deer, and when the antlers refuseti to go down into the stomach the snake would go and lie in the sun und let the acid from its stomach work on the horns and dis- solve them. This monster snake was very likely performing this act when the hunting party came on him. They advanced cautiously and were about to fire when the snake sprang forward and struck the guide in the breast with the stag’s horns and crushed him into a jelly. Before the snake could repeat this playful little pastime a bullet from one of the guns of the party killed him. He was cuiled up and carried by the party to the nearest town and shipped to Rio, where he is still on exhibition; the antlers are yet in his mouth, so the Spanish teacher told me.—Baltimore American. “Close Call” for the Chimney Sweep. “Yes, sah,’’ he said, ‘‘I was de last man to sweep a chimbley in Boston, shoah’s yer born.
