"John Anderaoa, my Jo "John, ya were my
first aocjtiut,"
But w tot being the only John, I tell yon,
ilr, you atnt!
There's that precious little JohnXwho sat
. forever in a corner,
Whose mother was a mystery, whose fath
er was a Horner.
And there's the John that built Uie house
to hold the famous sack.
And that hero of our childish days, the
giant-killer Jack.
And the old John Lackland, he who signed
the blessed 5Iarna Cliarta.
And Jack, who seeing Jill fail down, de-
scenttos, followed arter.
And good Prince John, the gentle one, and
the stern, unflinching Knox,
John Doe whose fights with mythic Dick
fill England's jury box.
And he that in poetic, mood (one Milton)
did attain,
Great tame for losing Paradise and getting
; It again !
But of all the Johns since days of Noah, the
world has ever known,
for infinite variety John Smith must stand
alone.
For he is tall, and he is short, and he is
black, and white,
And he is now the first to run, and now the
first to fight.
And he's a learned sage, and a simple rus
tic clown.
And you may find lilin any day in any
street In town
Ills wives are legiou, and his creeds so nu
merous have become,
You'll find his name in every chnrch, as
ono to lean upon.
For heresies they also say his match was
never known.
And Mrs. (Smith, in simple fate, says she's
the only one !
Yet all these contradictions, as dark as they
appear,
Should you know this hydra-headed man,
wonld be as daylight cletir. M. D. T,
DR. JACK'S VALENTINE.
There were half-a-dozea of the girls
together pretty creatures in the very
first season of their long dresses the
eldest not quite sixteen. They were
all braids and puffs and puffy curls
all loops and ruffles and ribbons all
emilcs and dimples. It was the Sat
urday before Valentine's day. in a
certain year of grace, of which I will
not give you the precise date, but less
than ten wars aco and mrtrp than
J five. Of the half dozen girls, two arc
busy teachers now, two are married,
1 - !..: i v. .i
vuc io pictyiug luuiuui i".; ucr uruiuer a
little brood of orphan children, and
the sixth, not less happy than the
rest, has gone on to the next century,
where they tell us she will never grow
old, never be sick, nor sorry any more
happy Bertha, whom, surely, God
lovea.
But. that day in February, none of
them thought much about the future
the present was enough, with its fun
tou lruiiv, uu .. .i r -.
... , , ,,, , mi
ures whicn girinooa noias aear. me
fix were passing the long day together.
Two ol them were sisters and belonged
in one house, and tho rest bad come
there to be with them; for they were
all going to make valentines. They
had made funny ones, and foolish ones
tender ones, with just a little dash
of satire in them poetic ones and
'. prosy ones and at last it was dinner
, time a feast of all the things that
eohool-girls love. Roast turkey there
1 was, and cranberry jelley, and sweet
' potatoes, and squash, and then such
' pies and puddings, and nuts and rais
f ins. How could they hold it all ? Ah,
j they were hungry girls. At least they
i were all hungry girls but Nelly Hunt,
I and she ate scarcely any dinner at all,
! she was so busy thinking. 8he was
t Bertha's sister, and this was her home
I and Bertha's, and it was to the girl's
own room that the little party went
back again, after they had eaten and
praised Mrs. Hunt's dinner.
"What are you thinking about,
Nell?" Bertha asked, sitting on the
arm of Nelly's chair.
"These valentines," Nelly answered
slowly.
"Well, surely they need not make
you sober-they are absurd enough.'
"Yes, and it's just because they are
so absurd that tliey make rue sober. I
was wondering why we couldn't just
as well have said something to. help
somebody to make somebody think
to do some good."
"Nelly's henries!" cried Kate Green,
flippantly. "Miss Hunt as a moral
reformer!"
Nelly blushed from her pretty ears
to the roots of her sunny hair; but
her eyes shone clear, and there was a
ring of earnestness in her voice as she
answered : - (
"You can laugh it you will, but I
mean what I say, and I'm going to try
an experiment. I will write one boy
a valentine, such as I think a girl
ought to write, and I'll send it."
"So you shall," Bertha said, gently
Bertha always was peacemaker;
"and we'll all go away ana see mamma
and the baby while you write it.
When it's done you must call us."
"Yes. and you must show it to us,"
cried Kate Green, a- she went away;
"that's only fair. We promised this
morning to show each other all we
ent, and we shan't let you off."
Aud then the five fluttered away
like a flock of birds, and Nelly was
quite alone.
Her task was harder than she had
imagined. It is only the old, perhaps,
who are sage in counsel by nature.
At any rate, to give good advice did
not come naiurally to pretty .Nelly.
But she had an idea of what the
wanted to say, and at last she got it
said. She had written and re-written
it, and finally concluded that she
could do no better, and then copied it
out into her neatest handwriting be
fore she called the others. It was a
little stiff, to be sure, and peachy and
high-flown, but it sounded like a lofty
effort and a complete success to the
listening girls. This was what it
said: ...
.. "Mr Valentine. I'ou will have
plenty of tine speeches and praises,
and, perhaps, of fun and facey. from
others, o I shall not give you those
1 who have but one interest in you.
namely, that you should be the best
boy and the best man which it is pos
sible for you to become. If you are
selfish, if you are indolent, if you are
mean, you will never be happy in
your own society, until you have sunk ,
so low that you don't kcow the differ-
ence between goodness and badness, j
But if you net oct to be a gentleman,
and a man of honor, and a faithful
worker, you will do good deeds and
live a happy life, and be worthy the
everlasting esteem f
Your Valkntine."
Nelly read it with rising color and a
little quiver about her mouth, which
Bertha understood; but she read it
with firm voice and careful, deliberate
accent. ?
"Then." she said.wh.en she had fin
ished, "I ehall bnrn up all the rest of
my valentines, and send only this one;
for it is what I mean, in earnest, and,
as old Aunty Smoke says, Ef it don't
do no good.it can't do no 113!."
"To whom shall you send it, dear?"
Bertha asked gently, a little subdued
by Nelly's epistolary success.
"I hadn't made up my mind," Nelly
answered thoughtfully; "they all need
it."
"Oh, send it to Jack," cried Kitty
Greene. "He boards with us. and he
needs it bad enough. It ever a boy
was full of his pranks Jack is. and if
ever a boy tormented a girl's life out,
Jack does mine."
A color clear and bright a3 flame
glowed on Nelly Hunt's cheeks. Had
she had dark;eyed Jack in her mind
all the while ? She only answered
very quietly :
"I don't mind. I had just as lief
send it to Jack. That is, I'll send it
to him if you'll promise, on j our sa
cred honor, never in any way to let
him know who wrote it."
"Oh, I will true as I live and
breathe I'll never tell him, and never
let him guess if I can help it."
"And all you girls?"" Nelly asked,
with the pretty pink glow deepening
in her cheeks. "Will you all prom
ise?" And they all promised, for there
was a sort of honest earnestness in
Nelly's nature to which they found it
natural to yield.
So the valentine was directed - in
Nelly's most neat and proper manner
to "Mr. Jack Greene," and was
dropped into the post-office with the
rest of the valentines the girls had
written that day.
On the fifteenth, the fix girls were
all together at school comparing notes
and exchanging confidences. But
Kitty Greene drew Nelly aside, and
said, while they walked up and down
the hall together, their arms around
each other as girls will.
I saw Jack get it Nelly.
"Nelly's pretty cheeks glowed and
her eyes shone, like stars, but she
asked no questions. Indeed they were
scarcely necessary, for Kitty was eager
enough to tell her story.
He got it. don t you think, alonsr
with half-a dozen others, and he read
them all betore be came to this one.
I knew this, you know, by the shape
of the envelope. When he came to it
I saw him read it alt through, and
then I saw him go back and read it
again. L heard mm say to nimsen :
I hat s an honest letter trom some
lttle saint." . ; t
"Then he came up to me and, held
very busy with my valentines. Then
he Mioke :
"Do you know that handwriting,
Kit?'
"I felt like an awful little liar, but
I had promised you. 1 stretched out
mv h:mdy for it, and said, carelessly:
"Why, ain't it Sue's?"
"She is his sister, you know. So he
thought I did not know who it came
from, and he changed his mind, and
put it into his pocket, and went off.
When I teased him afterward to let
me see it. he said :
"No: there are some thinsrs a fellow
would be a coward to show."
"So I saw it hit him, and well it
might. It was a tremendous letter,
Nelly."
And Kitty ended with a hug and a
kiss, and a look of that loyal admira
tion which a girl can give another girl
now and then.
When the spring came Jack Greene
went away from Chester, and did not
come back there anymore. No doubt
Nelly Hunt would have forgotten his
very existence but for the valentine,
which she could not forget. She used
to blush, as she grew older, to think
how "bumptious ' it was. as she used
to call it to herself. What was sue,
that she should have undertaken to
preach a sermon to that boy? What
if he remembered it only to think how
presuming it was, and to laugh at it?
But, luckily, he did not kuow from
whom it came; and with that thought
ehe cooled her blushes.
Nelly was twenty when Jack Green
came back to Chester again. And
now he C3me as a physician, just
through his studies, and anxious to
build up a practice. Soon his fame
grew. His patients were among the
poor & first, and he cured them; and
then richer people heard of it, and
sent for him. But, while he took all
the patients that came, he never gave
up his practice among those who most
needed him. His praise was in all
their mouths. There had never been
anv doctor like this one. t .
Nelly was Miss Hunt now for
Bertha had gone away from her into
the next country and Nelly's grief
had made her gentle heart jet more
fentle. and her helpful spirit yet more
elpful.
Toward night, one summer day, she
had gone to see an old woman who
had been her nurse once, and had
found her very ill quite too ill to be
left alone, and certainly in need of a
physician. So Nelly tore a leaf from
her memorandum-book and wrote on
it a few lines, begging Dr. Green to
come at once, and Ihen called to the
first passerby and entreated him to
take it to the doctor.
It was scarcely half an hour before
Dr. Greene came in quietly and grave
ly. He attended to his patient with
that careful consideration which made
all those poor souls whom he visited
adore him. Then he turned to Nelly.
"Who will stay with her to-night?"
he asked: "for, indeed, the hardly
ought to be lef t alone."
"I shall stay," was the quiet an
swer. "Then come to the door with me,
please, and let me give you your direc
tions." Nelly followed, and stood there, in
the eclt summer dusk a pietty pic
ture with the wild rose flush dawn
ing in her cheeks, and a new light
kindling her blue eyes. She listened
carefully to all his injunctions, and
then turned as if to go But he put
out a hand to detain her.
"How very much I owe to you, he
said. ' - '
"Yor, how?" And a deep, deep
crimson dyed Nell'y face and throat.
Iu that moment she thought of her
"bumptious" valentine, which had
no; crossed her mind before for a long
time. '
He looked at her with a smile in
his eyes, but with a face that pre
served all its respectful gravity. He
took a red leather case out of his
pocket, and from the cae he took the
very old valentine, which Nelly re
membered so well. Then he produced
the brief note she had written that
afternoon; and still there was light
enough left in the day to see them by,
t as he held them side by side.
"Your hand has matured somewhat
since this valentine was written," he
remarked quietly; "but some of these
letters I should know anywhere. No
one could deceive me."
"I did not suppose you had kept
that foolish thing," Nelly said, with a
pitiful little quiver in her voice, as if
she were just on the point of bursting
into tears. "I am so ashamed."
Dr. Jack looked at her a moment,
as she stood there in the waning light,
a lovely, graceful girl from whom any
man might be proud to win een ,a
passing interest. So this was the wo- j
man, the thought of whom he carried
in his heait for years ! If he had ever
done any good thing, he was paid for
it tn the satisfaction ol that hour.
"Are you sorry," he asked slowly,
"that you have helped one man to be
his best self ? Those words of youra
were to me like the voite of my in
most soul. Since then this paper has
never left me, nor have ever I ceased
to strive to be worthy of the esteem of
my unknown 'valentine. If ever I
have been generous instead of selfish,
brave instead of cowardly, strong in
stead of weak, it has been because I
have remembered the words written
here, and meant to live in their spirit
Are you sorry for that? or do you
grudge me the dear pleasure of thank
ing you
"No, I'm not sorry, nor do I grudge
you anyl hing; but it was a girl s freak.
and I am not worthy of so much
praise and honor.
"It was a good girl's good inten
tion," he said almost solemnly. "'Let
us be thankful that it succeeded."
Nelly went back to the bedside of
the old woman with a fluttering heart.
How strange it seemed to think this
sick woman was old enough to have
outlived all anxieties except those
about her pains and her supper. I fad
not 6he been young once? and had no
one ever looked at her as Dr. Jack
looked ? .
The next morning he came again.
His medicine, a night's sleep, Netty's
care something seemed to have given
t the poor, old patient a fresh leace of
lite. There was no need that .fNelly
should stay with her any more; but
she went to see her daily, and it was
curious how often Dr. Jack's visits
happened at the same time.
One night the doctor had left his
horse at home, and he and NeIIy
walked away together Tb. oT"the
toft South wind, and even the old
women; for Nelly, woman-like, was
struggling desperately to keep Dr.
Jack ftom saying what she desperate
ly wanted to hear. But, at lust, it
came a half-blunt, half-awakened
speech, yet with Dr. Jack's honest
heart in it :
"I've lived all these years just to
earn your esteem, and now I find I
don't care a thing about that unless I
can also win your love."
I think Nelly 'p answer must have
satisfied him, for she is Mrs. Jack
Green now; and that Valentine worn
and old, but choicely framed always
hangs over the doctor' study table.
JEWELS FROM THE ORIENT.
The Egyptian Holer's Royal fc.ift to
den. Sherman's Danghter.
The wedding gift from the Khedive
of Egypt to the daughter of General
Sherman reached New York by steam
er on Tuesday, and was on private
exhibition in the Collector's parlor of
the Custom House yesterday after
noon. The present is a parure of
diamonds, necklace and eardrops, said
to be the most magnificent and valu
able in this country. The necklace is
composed of four strands of diamonds,
each ol which is a brilliant. Not one
of them is worth less than $1,000.
The chain is studded with gems, and
they are set eo closely together as to
hide the gold. There are so many of
them that Deputy Collector Lydecker
tired in the count. He counted 350,
which is only about half the number.
The strands are joined by ten immense
clenes, -each of which is , encir
stod by smaller gems. The one in
front is the size of a hickory nut, and
is worth 20,000. Pendant from the
front is a festoon of brilliants with
five big pear-shaped stones of finest
water lustre hanging from it. The
ornaments from the ear are single
stones equally as large as the rest.
The entire set is appraised at from
-260 000 to S300.000.
The case for the jewels is plain mo
rocco, without inscription. As soon
as the Secretary of the Treasury orders
a free permit for them under the spe
cial act of Congress, they are to te
delivered to the Turkish minister, and
by him pre-ented to the fair bride on
behalf of the Egyptian potentate.

Prasing Ornamental Trees.
It is the growth of the side branch
es which promotes expansion in the
diameter of the main stem, and the
lower ones must only be removed by
degrees; when those higher up appear
sufficiently numerous for the young
tree to bear the loss t)f the lower ones
with impunity. If a young bow shows
a propensity to grow out of place, or
to an undue length, so as to require
repression, this may be effected while
in a young stage of growth, by simply
pinching off its extremity, thua arrest
ing its further extension. The proper
time to prune trees is between the
cessation of their growth in autumn
and the movement of, their sap sin
spring. The amputation during sum
mer of the woody parts of trees is in
jurious to them in many ways, and in
many species produces a copious dis
charge of sap (termed "bleeding"),
which considerably weakens them.
But the process of trimming hedges,
or where there is a fancy for such
things) clipping evergreens into fan
tastic shapes, is performed in summer,
as this promotes a second growth from
the parts that are left untouched,
which make? the foliage and f pray
denser. A. Mongredien, in English

Died. February 3d. 1S75. ' in the
Home for the Friendless, of typhoid
pneumonia, Mart Ccxmxgham, aged
la rears.
Tiree months ago, a young girl a
stranger in our city inquired of a
lady on the street if she knew where
Mrs, . lived, saying "1 have
walked until I am so tired, I am afraid
I eb&Jl never find her." "Come with
me, I will take you Lo her," was her
answr. . . -
We shall never forget the day when
we first looked into the sweet child
like fee of "little Mary," and listened
to hei story. An orphan child, who
could scarcely remember a mother's
love or caressing hand on her fair
young head, betrayed and forsaken
with ao friends who could care for
her. A kind-hearted stranger had
provided the means to send her from
a distant town to seek an asylum in
the Richmond "Home." A shrinking,
fragile girl, wan and weary, with
yearning, wistful eyes,' searching
strange faces for comfort and cheer
for the aching heart, and rest for the
weary, tired feet ! We soon learned
to love her. She was beautiful to look
upon, sweet and gentle in disposition
She was "our little Mary." There
were times when, as ehe would lean
upon us with trusting confidence, we
looked into her face and felt that be
neath all that young heart was slowly,
surely breaking.
When attacked by disease, she sank
rapidly nd soon passed into the arms
of death. We trust the Good Shep
herd who has taken the nhild-mother
to Himself, will temper the winds to
the helpless babe left to OCR care.

Brown, or Krnlnt kj.
Some cariosity has been excited by
reason of the fact that Mr. John
Young Brown denounced General
Butler as an outlaw. Now an outlaw
is "one excluded from the benefit of
the law, or deprived of its protection."
Whatever else General Butler may
be, no one has hitherto deemed him a
person deprived .of the protection of
the laws. Wherein, then, lies the
significance or truthfulness of 31 r.
Brown's rtmark? We have discov
ered the secret. As was attested by
his letter read in Thursday's debate,
Mr. Brown was, and no doubt is" still,
an ardent Confederate. Whether he
was a military chief Lain in the rebel
army, we shall not attempt to say, be-
causet Hke asothojnay have been a
prowess, without any jtcioO" 3 "I'l
side of the line being aware of the
fact, and our experience with Gordon
of the Senate teaches us to be careful
how we speak of ma who may have
achieved distinction in this stealthy
manner! But whatever may be
Brown's military history, be was cer
tainly a very enthusiastic rebel. As
such, he no doubt believed iu the
Confederacy, and in the proclamations
of its head, Mr. Jefferson D.ivis. Re
garding these as law, Mr. Brown had
no difficulty in arriving at the conclu
sion that General Butler was an out
law, for Mr. Jefferson Davis pro
claimed him such in 1SJ2, and it is
questionable, in view of the recent
elections, whether Mr. Davis is not to
be regarded as autnonfy!
It will be remembered that General
Butler did a number of things in
1S62-3 that greatly incensed the good
and great men of the Confederacy.
T j. L S -
rur instance, aie captured -ew vr
leans, and when Mr. Mumford, after
being warned against such an act, tore
down the United States flag and tram
pled it under his feet. General Butler
quietly ordered that Mumford be tak
en out and hanged. No more flags
were torn down! lhe ladies ot that
city had a pleasant way of spitting in
the faces of Union soldiers on the
sidewalk, and after enduring this pa
tiently for several weeks. Gen. Butler
issued an order reciting the facts, and
saying that women guilty of" such gross
conduct in the future should be treat
ed as "women of the town, plying
their avocation." No more insults of
this character were offered. These
act3 and his recommendations regard
ing fugitive slaves roused the rebel
government to desperation. Some
thing roust be done. Something was
done, as is shown by the following :
RETALIATORY PROCLAMATION BY JEF
FERSON DAVIS, PRESIDENT OF THE
CONFEDERATE STATES.
"Whereas fete etc.. recitine the
above facts); now, therefore, I, Jeffer
son Davis, President of the Confeder
ate States, and in their name, do pro
nounce and declare the said Benjamin
F. Butler a felon deserving capital
punishment. I do order that he be
treated as an OUTLAW, and that in the
event ol his capture the officer in com
mand of the capturing ieree do caue
him to be immediately executed by
hanging And whereas, the efficers
under the command of the said But
ler have been in many instances active
and zealous agents in the commission
of these crimes, and no instance is
known of their refusal to participate
in the outrages above narrated, tbere
fore, I do order that all commissioned
officers in the command ot the said
Benjamin F. Butler be declared not
entitled to be considered as soldiers
engaged in honorable warfare, but as
robbers and criminals deserving death,
and that they and each of them be,
whenever captured, reserved for exe
cution. '
"In testimony whereof I have signed
these presents, and caused the seal of
the Confederate States to be affixed
thereto, at the city of Richmond, on
the 23d day of December, 1862.
By the President :
: Jefferson Dayis.
J. H. Benjamin, Sec'y of State."
What more natural than th t an
ardent and unrepentant rebel like Mr.
John Young Brown should regard
the proclamation of Davis as still in
force against General Butkr, . and
take occasion to remind the country
of this fact f Inter-Ocean.

A San Francisco paper in a review
of the loaal fisheries relates the fol
lowing as one of the occurrences of
last year : ;
Last season one of the boats was
out ou the ocean near Point de Rev, ,
when in the afternoon a sudden squall '
came on and the waves ran so high
that one came aboard and nearly filled
the boat with water. So much was
she loaded and so near sinking did
she come, that the three men who
were in her had all they could do to
avoid being swept overboard. The
wind blew hard and chilly and the
poor fellows were nearly frosen, but
they held on to the boat hoping that
succor would come from tone source..
When itwaa nearly dark one of the
men bade his comrades good bye, aud
with a groan of despair sank out of
sight beneath the waves. The other
two held on through that dreary
night, but early in the morning an
other one said to the survivor, "f can
not hold on; I too, must go." In tel- :
ling it the survivor said, "1 was laying
on mv breast across the bow and saw
him as he sunk away far down in the
clear, deep waters. He said also that
soon after his last comrade disap
peared the sun came up, and as the
sea had gone down the warm rays
beating on bis back infused warmth
and lite in him so that he was enabled
to cling fast. About 1 o'clock the
schooner Haskell came along, picked
him up and brought himself and the
boat into the harbor. A rather singu
lar part of the story is that after being
at the dock for about ono month, the
same boat, with the same, man and
two others, went again outside to the
same fishing ground, and about the
8'Uuo place where she was picked up
when water-logged. The fishermen
saw a schooner bottom side up, with
five or six men clinging to the keel.
They immediately went to the rescue
and found that it was the Haskell, the
identical schooner that had saved this
boat ani one of the men. She had
been her-elf capsized in a squall. Her
crew were saved by the very boat that
had been saved by her.
