A PATRIOT. Oft have I heard him bitterly Denoance his nation’s focs : He sings, * My Country, “Tis of Thee,” And mourns o'er all her woes ; He hates the office-holder who read trust; im his country's course is true, Her aims are always Jast. Upon his splendid walls I see A lofty flag-pole rie, And there the banner of the free In proud abandon flies Nis broad estates spread far aboat, And he has gold in stacks He spe 1s mach ti ways to dod —S. EB. Keer in Chicago Lecord- Herald. A pistinoutsnen Episcopal clergyman was once called ‘0n to officiate at a fashionable enmmer resort church, ant, finding only a short sarplice and no cassock in the vestry was very much disturbed at the thought of having to appear ina vestare that to the frivolous would look like a wh shirt and trousers, Bat a happy inspiration came to him. Why not wear ove of his wife's black petticoats? ‘The por- tion that would show below the eurplice would look exactly like the regulation cassock, and no one woukl ever be the wiser, So he hurriediy sent one of the ushers with an ex- planatory note to his wife in the hotel, and in the nick of time the petticoat arrived. The makeshift turned out to be 4 perfect success, and no one at a distance could tell that he was not wearinga cassock. After the close of the service be decided to go out to the body of the church without taking off his robes, in order to grect some friends, And he was toon the centre of a group of fashionable women, when a green Irish maid from the hotel came up, and in a load voice said to him : er Riverenes, the missus sint me afther her petticoat at ye do be wearin’, and I wus to wait till ye take it off." —New York Tribune. Tits Majesty Edward VIL. is credited with the saying that it is vastly easier to live up to the obligations of a play to thote of areal one; and the eame thought, with ly different turn, was once expressed by President In 1862, says a writer in the Kansas City Journal, ka, who was an intimate frend of the President, visited him at Washington, and found him in a greatly depressed state of mind. “This being President 1#n't all it Is cracked up to be, is in}? inquired Colonel Alexander. said Lincoln, his eyes twinkling momentanly. jshinan, who, after being ridde orry, if it wasn't for the honor av th* thing, I'd rather walk!"
