OLD GRIM KM IM DEAD.
This famous ballad wat written by A. G.
Green, born at Providence, R. I.,
1802, died 1808.
Old Grimes in dead, that Rood old mnn.
We ne'er ihall aee him more ;
He used to wear a loot; black coat,
All buttoned down before.
Ilia heart was open aa the day.
Hit feelingt all were true ;
Ilia hair it wat inclined to gray,
He wore it in a queue.
Whene'er he heard the voice of i ain
His breast with pity burned.
The large round head upon hit cane
From ivory wat turned.
Kind wordt he ever had for all,
He knew no bate design,
Ilia eyes were dark and rather small
Hit note wat anquiline.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship be waa true;
Hit eoat had pocket-holes behind,
His pantaloons were blue.
Unharm'd, the sin which earth.pollutes
He patted tecurely o'er,
And never wore a pair of boots
For thirty years or mora.
But good old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's frown,
He wore a double brestcd vest,
The stripes rnn up and down.
He modest merit sought to find.
And pay it its desert,
He bad M malice in his miud,
No ruffles on his shirt.
His neighbor he did not abuse.
Was sociable and gny,
He wore large buckle on his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge hid from public gate
He did not bring to view,
Nor maku n nnmc town-nnctiugduyH,
As many ptosis' do.
His wordly goods lie never threw
In trust to fortune's ohWfftl,
He lived (us all hi" brothers do)
In easy circuiustauccs.
Thus undisturbed by anxious cures
His peaceful moments ran,
And everybody said he was
A fine old gentleman.

that two sleeping cars in the train were un

he left the train in the night, and for eighty
four miles there whs no conductor in charge
of the cars, and therefore one conductor
had eharge of four cars. Each car had a

An Old Story Retold.
part I.
A long time ago, Ieonard, King of
Sicily, informed his Queen, Helen,
whom he loved very much, and with
whom he lived happily, that he int.nded
to invite hit old friend Paul, King of
Bohemia, who had been his school-fellow,
to visit him. At length Paul came
to the Sicilian court, and the two old
friend greatly enjoyed each others so
ciety. When it came time for Paul to
return home, In- friend Leonard insisted
upon his remaining, hut it waa not until
Helen joimd in the entreaties, that Paul
agreed to prolong his visit. Though
Helen had insisted upon Paul's staying,
at the request of her husband, the lat
ter, probably because of his love for
Paul as well as his wife, became extreme
ly and unaccountably jealous of the Ho
hemian King. Ionard's disposition
seemed to change, and he began to treat
Helm with the greatest unkiridiiess.
His passion grew to such u fury that he
sent for Ird Campbell, one of his at
tendants, and commanded him to Hison
Paul. Instead of tins, lml ampbell,
who knew that Leonard' suspicions had
not the slightest foundation, took Paul
safely to his kingdom and became one of
bis chief lavorites.
The escape of Paul ami Ionl Camp

and Consulted an oracle in the temple
of Apollo as to whether the Queen had
been iiiiraitlittil to til m. Helen had
not been in prison very long before she
bad a beautiful daughter born to her.
She was fond ol the dear little babe,

Pauline, who went to her and said that
she thought that King Leonard! finger
would soften at the sight of the bane,
and begged the Queen to allow her to
take it to its lather. The Queen reluc
tantly assented, and Pauline- took the
babe to the King, and in her speech fold
him how much the little one waa like
him. in the pretty dimples of its chin, its
smiles, its hand) nail and finger. This
only made Leonard more angry, and he
ordered Pauline from his prcxence.
Pauline went away, but left the bahv at
determined to take Florence and Perdita
to the country of his old friend King ,
Uonard, knowing that the latter really
repented of his former onenses ana
would welcome him as his old friend.
Florence and Perdita and the old shep
herd at once sailed for King Leonards
dominion, the latter being careful to
take Perdita's baby clothes and the paper
that was pinned to them. Aa soon as
Ixonard saw Perdita he was startled by
her resemblance to his dead Queen, and
his grief breaking out afresh he lamented
the loss of his wife and the friendship
of bis (riend, good King Paul. The
old shepherd kept his eyea open, and he
soon made up his mind that Peridta was
no other than the lost Princess. He
related the story of how he found the
child, and showed the rich mantle, which
Pauline at once recognized as that in
which Queen Helen had wrapped the
babe.
Florence, Perdita, Lord Campbell and
Pauline were greatly rejoiced at the dis
covery, and all but the King were su
premely happy. The good Pauline had
a surprise in store for everyone, which
served to end the story most happily.
The truth was, tin- Queen was still alive.
Pauline told the King the Queen was
dead simply to prevent King Leonard
from executing his terrible intention of
killing her. She hardly knew how to
acquaint the Kile; with this fact. So
she invented a plan which proved

When the wicked Anthony deserted
the little babe she was handsomely dress
ed in rich clothing and wore magnificent
jewels, which Queen Helen bad placed
upon it when Pauline had volunteered
to take it to its father. As bad as An
thony was, he had some feeling, and he
pinned the name Parana to the babe's
clothes, and an obscure note, which gave
a vague idea ot the babes origin. I he
child was almost immediately found by a
poor shepherd, who took her to his cottage.
His wife nursed Perdita carefully; bti!
wishing to hide the fact that ho had
found a ritdi prize in the jewtds upon the
child, the shepherd removed to a distant
part of the country and became wealthy.
As Perdita grew up she became a lovely
and beautiful maiden. One day Flor
ence, the only son of King Paul, was
hunting near the shepherd's cottage, and
he saw the charming Perdita. He al
most immediately fell in love with her
because of her beauty and modesty, and
under an assumed naine he frequently
visited the shepherd's dwelling. King
Paul noticed the absence of bis son from
the court, and ordered Lord Campbell,
his trusty friend, to discover the cause
of it, and the hitter soon found out all
about the love match. Disguising them
selves as country gentlemen, the King
anil 1orii Citnipb'cll soon repaired to the
hepherd's home, for Paul had a strange
desue to see the young lady his son had
fallen in love with. The occasion was
the time of sheep-shearing, when all
Strangers were welcome to the hearth
of the shepherd, When they arrived a
merry company had assembled, and the
boys and girls were dancing on the green
and enjoying themselves in the fashion
of voung country people. Florence
and Perdita sat together some distance
off in a quiet nook, apparently in the
full enjoyment of each others society.
Tin1 King and Lord Campbell, who were
unknown to Florence in their disguise,
stood by and watched the happy couple
with some admiration. Ixird Campbell
declared Perdita to bo tho prettiest low
born lass be ever saw. A very ouecn
be said, of curls and cream. I u conver
sation with the shepherd and Florence
himself, King Paul discovered fully tho
great love his son bore to the maiden,
for Florence called upon him as a ven
erable stranger to witness a solemn pro
mise of marriage which he then made.
This aroused King Paul to a great anger,
as, according to his high-born notions,
such alliance would bring disgrace upon
bis son, and be threatened Perdita and the
ol 1 shepherd w 1th a cruel death if they ever
allowed Florence to see the girl again.
Perdita modestly said, " I will go milk
my ewes and weep," though she felt like
saying much more to the angered King.

By Theodore Parker.
Men and women, and especially young
people, do not know that it takes years
to marry completely tWO hearts, even of
(be most loving and well-sorted. Hut
nature allows DO sudden change. We
slope very gradually from the cradle to
the summit of life. Marriage is grad
ual, a fraction of us at a time. A happy
wedlock is it long failing in love. I
know young persons think love belongs
only to brown hair and plump, round,
Crimpson cheeks. So it docs for its
beginning. Just as Mount Washington
begins at Boston bay. Hut the golden
marriage is a part of love which the
bridal day knows nothing of. Youth is
the tassel, and silken flower of love, age
is the full Corn, ripe and solid in the
ear. Beautiful is the morning of love
with its prophetic crimson, violet, pur
ple and gold with its hopes of days that
are to come. Hcautitul also is the even
ing of love, with its glad remembrances,
and its rainbow side turned toward
heaven as well as earth. Young people
marry their opposite in temper and gen
eral character, and such a marriage is
generally a good one. They do it
instinctively. The young man does not
say, "My black eyes require to be wed
to blue, and my ovcreheinence requires
to be a little modified With somewhat of
liillness and reserve." When these op
posite come toget iur to be wed, they
do not know it, but each thinks the
other just like himself. Old people never
marry their opposites, they marry their
similars and from calculation. Each of
these two arrangements is very proper.
In their long journey these opposites
will fall out by the way a great many
times, and both will Charm the other
back again, and by and bv thev will be
agreed as to the place they will go to, and
the road thev w ill to bv and become
reconciled. The man will be nobler and
larger for being associated with so much
humanity unlike himself, and she will
be a nobler woman for having1 manhood
beside her, that seeks to correct her
deficictices and supply her with what
she hicks, if the diversity be not too
great, and there lie real piety and love in
their hearts to begin with. The old
bridegroom, having a much shorter jour
ney to make, must associate himself with
one like himself. A perfect and com
plete marriage is, perhaps, as perfect
personal beauty. Men and women are
married fractionally now a small frac
tion, then a large fraction. Very few are
married totally, and they only," I think,
after some forty or fifty years of gradu
al approach and excitement. Such a
large and sweet fruit is a complete mar
riage that it needs a very long summer
to ripen in, and then a long winter to
mellow and season. But a real happy
marriage of love and judgment be
tween a man and woman, is one of the
things so very handsome that if the tun
