HOW DOES IT NEVER HAPPEN? BY M. HELENA BASCOM. So many tilings are written. So many things are said, . How does it never happen Some literary head. v While penning down his own thought", For his and only his, Is but saying what's illumined Some other comely phiz? So many things are written, So many thing are said, How does it never hapjn-n Some luckless wight, instead Of writing all original. As he may truly think. Is but drinking at tlie fountain ' Where some other one doth drink? So many things are written, Si many things we think, - , ; How does it never haj pen. Titer's no wore of kindred link -. Between the many writings. The sayings from whereof The press oit gather gleanings For public praise or scoff. So many things are written, So many things are thought, Br the many, many millions, ' Of high and lowly lot, -How does it never happen That nothing ever came. Except from the same noddle. Precisely quite the same? So muny things are writren, So many things we hear. That come nnto as daily, Both from far and near, - How does it never happen, - - Except from the same noddle. - Thoughts upon this earth of ours Ne'er Alike do toddle? So many things are thought, So many things are written. How does it never chance That we are sometimes smitten With just the self same thoughts That years agone were flitting Though some one else's brain When they like us were sitting. So many things are said. So many things we'er hearing, Eow does it ever happen That we no more are feariug The thoughts so vaguely given us, By the muse we are courting. Are e'en the thoughts that have been used At some previous flirting? So many things are said, . . . : And still we keep a saying, . . How does it never happen - The thoughts our minds are sVaying, Although we truly call them ours, . Some other one's may be, : With keel and rudder, mast and sail, . - All suited "to it." True many .things, are thought, And many still we're thinking, And we may drink from out the fount From whence our nieghbor's drinking. But then the draught that comes to us, Though of tears or laughter, Can scarcely be the one he quaffs. Now, before or after. ' ' True, many things we'er thinking, 1 And many" more we've thought, And we may wear the garment Some other hands have wrought; But thea the stitch we add to it, If any stitch at all, I Can scarely be the one he stitched, However great or small. For the Telegraph. JOTTINGS BY THE WAY. Hillsdale is rightly named. Situ ated on two bills and in the valley, through which flows the St. Joseph, Or a branch of it, it is beautiful for tituation, especially on the "sides of (he north,", where,, on ' the highest point of land in the State, stands Hillsdale College, from whose cam pus and the tower of the central building an extensive view of the torronnding country may be obtain ed. There are to be. five large build ings two only of which . are com pleted, and a third is being, built, The central buildiiig.is. a very .pretty Structure. The college is. under the iuspices of the Baptist,. It in. open io both sexes, and has 400 students. Rev. Dr. Smith i-President.- - But y far the largest ami. finest part of he town is on the south 6ide of the falley. Owing to the peculiar topog raphy of the country,, the streets are ery irregular, reminding one of a liuiaiure -xxud Dei ore me great ire. There are many fine residences, ith tasteful eurroundings. ; . Io the centre of the south part of the city is a well shaded park, in which ia the Court House a rather dilapidated buildbjr, presenting a marked con trast to the other buildings. .'.It will (oubtleas soon give place to a more tting Structure. ' ' - V,.' . . . , TweDty-two miles west is Coldwa ter, on the L. S. & M. S,, town of 8,000, and known far and .near a Jne of the most thriving IfteFelfgM ul towns of Michigan, noted for its nne sonooU and sobool buudingi and dhurortfli and the intelligence and en tjBrpriM of iu oitlseng.

' A vast prairie, slight ly rolling. The farm-houses and barns are the very best, and the farms give evidence . of very good rpansgeroerit. Branch county is one df the best and many of her fanners sire very wealthy. The Lewis Art Gallery . is one of the choicest and largest, private collections of paint ing and statuary in America.' It is open to the citizens every Saturday, and to strangers at any time. Applica tion is made to Mr. Lewis, and thous ands of v iHitors are delighted not only with the rare excellence of the vTorks of art, but with the kindness and pubho spirit manifested by Mr. Lewis. His ground. -.re the most ocnamental--and tasteful of any in the town. Battle Crt ek, at the mouth of Bat tle Crw-k on the Kalamazoo River, contained in 1870, 5,8-18, but now they claim considerable over 6,000. It has one of the best water powers in the Slate Threshing machines are extensively manufactured here, employing, if I mistake not, 250 men. Flour is one of the chief manuf.c tiires. Its public school building is justly the pride of its citizens. It stands on quite an elevation, on the north side of the river, and ranks second or third in the State for size and architectural taste. Cost ?75,000. Althoiieli very irregularly laid out, ow ing to the winding of the streams, yet it has many tine, well shaded streets, tasteful dwellings, with !:ir;e, closely shaven lawns, cmlel listed with l.eds of flowers and foliage plants. The Methodist and CongM societies have very tine churches. But Kalaiuozoo, at the mouth of Portage Creek, on Kalamazoo River, in the 'boss" village of America, as it is universally acknowledged to be not only the largest but the pietti est. In 1870, it contained 9,181, now over 11,000 a slow growth. In re spect to manufacture and business generally, ii cannot compare with some other, even smaller, towns; but for a place of residence, it is unsur passed. It stands mostly in the val ley, and abounds in the nalive for est trees chiefly the burr oak, ma ple and elm the former being one of the finest of shade trees, though its trunk covered with a very rough bark is not very attractive." Many of them are left standing in the mid- oie oi me streets, as well as a.oug toe -side-walks, giving a peculiar ap pearance like dwelling in the midst of a forest. But the park of several acres in the centre of the town, til ed with these noble trees, is a charm inir spot. In it are the Court House and four churches, und'immediate ly around it are several more of the best chuich edifices iu the city. Tie village is noted for the cultivation of flowers, and many and beautiful are I lie displays of these on every hand. On the heights west of the city stands the large and beaut'.ful State hospital tor the insane. 1 Here is also a Baptist college and female seminary 1 resb. liere resides liev. Mr. lutlull s tamily all so dear to man v ' hearts m Asiitaouia, and around whom sweet memories will ever cluster and linger. At their happy home, I ever find a cordial greeting and welcome, which makes the place seem like an oasis in the desert of the way-worn, lonely trav eler, for there is such a thing as a feeling of loneliness in t he midst of crowds, and din and travel, which very many well know. Gladly, there fore, do we avail ourselves of every such opportunity ' oi spending an hour with dear, ol.i i i. end's. From Kalamazoo i swung around to the west, through Ailegan, Hol land, Grand Haven and iUuskegon, and then s. e. to Grand Rapids, on Grand River, at the head of naviga tion, 40 miles from its mouth at Grand Haven. , This is the largest stream in the State, and here is 900 feet wide, and affords unlimited wa ter power, which is largely made available. - Lumber, wooden wares, furnitnre of all kinds, and agricul tural implements are the chief man ufactures. These furniture factories each employ from 250 to 300 men. At Berkey & Gay's factory there is a wonderful transferor power. Ihe factory is on the east side of the river and the turbine wheel which fur nishes the power, is on the west side, nearly 800 feet distant. A & wire cable transfers this force 60-horse power the cable being supported in mid-stream by a pier. Then from this is geared another f cable to the new factory across the street, driv ing all the finer machinery in that Iding. Six different railroads en ter the city, with eight diverging lines, over which sixty trainsoand cjLrc daily. Four miles s. w. of the city are inexhaustible mines of plas ter, wbioh is extensively used as a fertilizer in this and other States. There are three daily, five weekly, two monthly newspapers, a free cir culating library, three national and several private banking institutions. The District and U. S. Circuit Courts for Western Michigan are held here. The river here flowB almost due south. The city lies on both banks, mainly on the east. Parallel with it runs Canal street, the principal busi ness street, .though Monroe street, branching sv e. at an obtuse angle from it, is also largely occupied for a half mile with the largest and most elegant stores and structures in the city. Canal street is level and low, but Monroe, slopes gradually ' up ward. " On. the former is Sheet's Ho tel, and on the latter, the Morton House two of the best of hotels. Owing to ;the. low ground of Canil street, eVcry -spring- the cellars of the stores have been exposed to wa ter.

East of this street the ground rises gradually to the next street, on which most of the churches are located: then it rises rapidly to the first terrace or bluff, about 150 or 200 It. above the river. from which a fine view of the city beneath the river spanned by nu merous bridges the west side city and away to the west and south west, the gradually closing hillsides, dotted with farm houses and farms, or the dark-foliaged oak groves a landscape, the like of which I have not seen since my New England rambles last autumn.

In most cities, the west end is the most aristocratic and fashionable; not so here, but the east and south' east portions claim that honor.

In my rambles through twenty-three States I have yet to hi:d a city of Us age and size that can surpass or equal it. Here, two business streets are lined with as fine four and five story blocks as Chica go or Detroit; her residences, school buildings, churches, -hotels, .&c, are the best both in material ami de sign.

Grand Rapids, Sept. 14, '75. AS WE GO ALONG. Dick and Dora were travelling Westward, it was before the days (the nights, rather) of sleeping-cars; and being determined to go "straight through," as Dick said at starting they were not a little fatigued when the darkness of the second night gathered about tnem. But, though fatigued, they were, by no means out of sorts. They were thoroughly posted as to the changes of their journey; they knew they were right; all that they desired was to proceed as rapidly as possible. Dora looked smilingly around upon the drowsy passengers. "Do see that old lady, Dick, said Bhe, with a smothered laugh. ' "Her head bobs about like the tail of Ned's kite. ; Thete 1 she's down at last No, she isan't either. Oh!" Here the old lady in question straightond ; herself and looked severely around, as if to reprove all who had even suspected her of au in clination to slumber. Happening to glance toward our young friend, she encountered two pairs of bright eyes. The eyes tried to be polite, but they could not help being truthful. They seemed to say: "We did laugh. We could not help it We cannot help it now.' The old lady could not help it either. Such a hearty, cosy little laugn as it was, an around, when she had set the example! ".LucKy tor ns old people that our necks areiusured,' said she, cheerily; "and lucky for us that we can't see ourselves as others see us. Heads bobing about like the tail of Ned's kite, eh!' ("O, I beg your pardon,' said Dora, with crimson oheeks. "I didn't know you heard. j"Dont worry yourself In the least, my dear, I'm troinff to try it aaaln If; you aan get any . fun out of this. i 81 1 T m a .ss poor oia neaq you're neartilv wel- oorae to it, I'm sure, You'll need au you can get before raorntnar-.I can tell you that,' "We shall soon be 'bobint? around. ourselves,' laughed Dick. 'bo yon will. Wish I could keeD awake to see: but I pan't, Good night tQ VQu. Pleasant dreams' Dora arose from her seat, and walked toward the old lady, taking her long shawl with her. "Mother would make me brinz this. said she, ignoring the deprecating gesture. "I don't know why, I'm sure, for we have ray water-proof and Dick's overcoat besides, It will make a capital pillow for you. Won t you let me arrange it V lhe old lady demurred, but Dora insisted, and soon had the satisfac tion of seeing the gray head no lon ger bobing and bowing, but repos ing peacefully and quietly. "She's sound asleep now,' she Baid thankfully to Dick. "And ,sho wouldn t be ashamed to . own it, either.' At this moment the sound of the whistle announced that they were near a station, and soon afterward there was the hurry and bustle of departures and arrivals. Amonz the latter was a plainly- dressed woman, who carried upon one arm a heavy travelling-bag, and baby who was screaming at the voice. top of its little "Dear me!' yawned Dora, "I was just thinking of taking a nap. How provoking!' "if i m ever old enough to vote. I'll go for a law to make the women keep their babies at home,' said Dick, savagely. "What a public-spirited, benevo lent man he will be!' laughed Dora, pretending to smooth the wrinkles in his forehead with her plump hand. "Nonsense But do hear that rascally baby!' "I think he's sick,' said Dora, com passionately. "It's a girl, and she's no more sick than you are. I wish you'd go over and inquire how long she intends to keep up that screeching, because a fellow can t Dora didn't wait for him to finish the sentence. To his intense surprise, she arose and walked down the aisle as steadily as was possililc. Dick watched her anxiously as she talked with the baby's mother. Ouce or twice, as he caught her eye, he beckoned eagerly, imploring her with frantic gestures to return, but Dora paid no heed. VV lien, at last, she turned to come back, he saw her bringing the "rascally baby' with her. He was really angry now, and he took no pains to conceal it "If that baby's going to stay here, rm not,'' said he crossly, wrapping bis overcoat about him. "W'here are you going?' "into another car, 1 11 hnd you in the morning. Good-night.' lie would have been off, but Dora laid a coaxing hand upon his should er. "Just wait a minute, Dick ; I want to tell you something. I thought I d take the baby awhile, because the mother has a dreadful headache, and' 'No wonder,' interrupted Dick, making a hideous face at the scream ing child. 'listen tome. This baby hasn't had a thing to eat since four o clock. 'Why in the world don't you give it something, then?' cried Dick, mak ing a furious dive for the lunch basket. ' 'What a goose you are, Dick! Don't you see that she hasn't a tooth in her head? What, she wants is milk, with a little warm water in it, and sugar enough to sweeten it just a little, lhat 8 all she eats. 'Who told you so much? 'Her mother.' ... I knew 'twas a girl the minute I heard her voice, told you so,' said Dick, a slight shade of triumph mingling with his vexation. Hhey ve been travelling two days.' continued Dora, ignoring Dick s last remark, 'and the mother tried to get some milk at C . She gave her bottle to one of the table- girls there, but the cars wouldn't wait until she d hlled it : 'Of course not,' growled Dick. 'Just like a woman, expecting a whole train of cars to stop for a bot tle of milk. 'So she had to come on without it. And oh, Dick! won't you try to get just a little al the next stopping- place t . .. 'Me ?' inquired Dick, in amazement. ; 'You can take our mug. Ihe bot tie's lost, you know. She'll have to do the best she can with this. 'Me !' repeated Dick, increduously. 'Yes, you. Don't you know what Aunt Kuth says about doing good as we go along ? We can pretend we're missionaries home missiona ries, you know. 'Well, give me the mug. Any thing to stop th's noise !' Ihe cars stopped. Dick rushed out, mug in hand. Stopping the first man he met in the station, he made his modest request : Here I rill this, please. 'What with?' Milk, with a little warm water, and just sweetening enough to sugar it. I he baby s starving. - .Lost its bottle at C . Hasn't had a thiug to eat drink, I mean for hours.' 'We haven t a drop,' replied the man. Tm sorry, but yon come too late. ' (Could n't come any sooner,' re- plied Dick and I must have it. Be quick, please, or I shall be late.' . ?N o danger of that,' said another man, reassuringly ; 'They wait fif teen minutes here. Give me the cup, and I'll go over to Joe Fellerses. His baby's sick since Tuesday, and it's likely they'll be up messin'. I reckon they'll have a drop or two to spare.' It was not without misgiving that Dick gave Dora's pretty mug into the stranger s hand 'If it s gone,' ho thought to himself, 'It can't be helped, and there's no use in worrying.' ..... So he contented himself with look ing after the man as long as he oould see him, ana resoivea to wan as tlently as possible until the signal sounded. How old is your baby ?' asked one of the men, O, I don't know, it's a very young one, . Ever traveled with it before ? aked the man, oui-ously, No, indeed I replied Dick, with flushing cheeks. Its mother's iu the car. , . Take my advice, and leave it at home next time. Travelhn never agrees with these little fellers. Dicks eyes fairly biased. It is'nt mine he roared savagely. Then, sud denly remembering how kindly these men had interested themselves in his behalf, he added, more gently : I'ts mother had a headache, so I came. Just then, Dick's rejoicing eyes spied the man who had taken the mug coming quickly toward him. Here's yuor cup, youngster, saw he Joe Fellerses wife wouldn't use it.i Here's a bottln lhat '11 i'lst fit a bab y's mouth it's one her Johnny's outgrowed. She's glad enougn to help all the babies along, for the sake of that poor little man of bern.

Dont stop ior that, it that little fellow of yours is as hun gry1 as you make out, the sooner you upon the other a is a C get back to him the better. Dick thought so too. He was hur rying from the station when a woman entered, acco mpanied by a girl apparently about thirteen years old. He would have rushed past them, but the woman spoke : . 'Goin' on this traiu?' 'Yes.' 'How fur?' 'To L ,' replied Dick Ther's just where this child is going. Now, couldn't you just look after her a little? She wont be no trouble.' Dick looked at the 'child.' He saw au awkward, ungainly figure, clad in garments of co arse texture, and queer unblending hues. He saw a pale, thin face, in which a pair of sore eyes seemed wonderful ly prominent. They were not pleas ant to look upon. lie shivered. 'She's going there to be doctored,' continued the woman. 'You see, her aunt, she lives in L , aud she thinks her doctor can help her eyes. I can't go with her, and she's an aw ful scarey child 'fraid of hershad der. Her aunt'll meet her at the Depot; but if you'll just let her set somewhere nigh you, and speak to her once in awhile on the way' 'What if Zhad such eyes as those!' thought Dick. 'I'll do it,' said he aloud, grasping his bottle a little tighter. 'She can come along with me. We must hury up. There's the bell.' 'Good bye Marietta,' called the woman, as they left the station. 'Be a good girl. Ther's nothing to be afcard of. Remember that!' Dick found Dora anxionsly await ing him. 'Where have you been? and where did you get this?' she cried, seizing the bottle, and putting it to the lips of the poor, tired baby, who drank eagerly. 'Joe Fellerse's wife sent it to you with her complments.' 'She's a good woman who ever she is said Dora, earnestly: 'but (dropping her voice)'who on earth have you there, Eick?' as he mo tioned to the girl to take a seat be hind them. 'That!' replied Dick carelessly, in a low tone. That's Marietta.' Who's Marietta?' 'Our new fellow-passenger.' What's the matter with her eyes?' . 'They're sore.' 'I should think so, poor thine where did you pick her up?' 'At the station. She s going to with us. We're to take care of her.' 'O h!' groaned Dora. 'Don't you know what Aunt Ruth says about doing good as we go along.-" inquired Dick, calmly. tut such a large girl!' Can't she take care of herself?' 'She's timid afraid of her sh ad der!' 'She won't be likely to see her shad- der here.' 'We can pretend we'ie missiona nes home missionaries,' said Dick, cheerfully. 'I should prefer a good, wholesome looking heathen for a traveling com panion,' sighed Dora. W e cant have everything to please us, said Dick, pompously 'How quiet that child is!' Of course she is. All she wanted was something to eat. See! she's al most asleep the little darling!' ovi must have been cut out for a missionary laughed Dick. Tour little heathen does you credit.' 'That's more than I can say for yours,' retorted' Dora, glancing over her shoulder at the new passenser. The poor girl was sitting with her back to' the light, shading her eyes with one slender hand. Dora turned quickly. 'Dick Wil son!' she exclaimed, 'take this baby, please. I am going to talk with Ma rietta.' 'Well put her down easy, so that a fellow can get a good hold. Don't vou tro to slepn and dron y o l r her,' was Dora's parting injunction. She took the seat behind Marietta, that the poor, weak eyes might not encounter the glare of the blazing lamp. She spoke kindly to her, ask ing her a few questions, in snch a tone of interest that the girPs shy ness melted away at last, and she became communicative. What Dora learned of her circum stances she told Dick early the next morning, almost with tearful eyes. 'She wants so much to go to school, Diok, but she cant. She can't read or sew, and she has to wear blue glasses when the sun is very bright.' 'She sleeps well, replied Dick, who pitied the poor girl from the bottom of his heart, but didn't know how to so. 'I'm clad she's with us, Dick, be- cause, you see, people aon i always take pains to speak to girls when tLey look disagreeably.' "bo am i. 'Wasn't it strange that neither ot us knew when the baby's mother came and took her?' 'I dreamed that' somebody was thanking me for something.

When bis ambition had been disappointed, and his infirmity fell upon him at Marshfield in 1852, we catch now and then little gleams of sportive ness even in bis last petulant talks. "I care," said he to his Biographer, no more about politics than the jack daw chat sits on the top of St. Pauls;" And then he repeated some of Cow per's lines on that interesting bird. "He sees that this great roundabout, The world, with all its motley rout, Church, army, physic, law, Its customs aud its business, Is no concern at all of his, And says what says he? Caw!" Almost iu his dying moments, finding his nurse still up at his side, he exclaimed. "That everlasting Sarah is still there!" Mr. Webster was in President Harrison's cabinet. Harrison never forgot his Plutarch. This his inau gural showed. It was full of classio allusions. A friend met Webster the day of the message and said, "What is the matter with you, Mr, Webster? You seem agitated." ' ' "Agitated, sir? And who would not feel agitated that had commit ted a murder?" "A murder, 3Ir. Webster?" "Ay, sir," said the god-like, mur der, with malice aforethought, of, I know not how many Greeks and Ro mans!" Upon the Sub-Treasury debate Mr Webster had the advantage of Mr. Calhoun in every thing except con densed logic. Mr. Calhoun rarely indulged in the luxury of a laugh. While Webster's wit was bjtterless, he used it unsparingly. It was tart and pungent. But who could com plain of his friendly, refined ridicule? Once, when describing the abrupt transfer of Calhoun into another party, he refered to a sentimental German play: "Two strangers met at an inn. One cries out, 'a sudden thought strikes me let us swear eternal friendship.' " Well versed in the English classics, as he looked at his opponent he must have under stood the full philosophy of Dray ton's poetry: Lct your jests fly at large, yet therewithal See tbey be salt, but yet not mixed with gall. That they with tickling pleasure may provoke -Laughter in him on whom the jest is broke." It is s:tid that Calhoun himself joined in the general laughter which tumbled on his head from gallery and Senate as Webster recited this Harper's Magazine for October. Nursing the Sick. Some sensible person, who has evi dently had experience in attending to invalids, thu9 speaks of the impor tance of decision and quietness in the sick-room. Consult your patient's wants, but ceusult him as little as possible. Your decision need not be very ob vious aad positive; you will be most decisive if no one suspects you are so at all. It is the triumph of supre macy to becoiue unconsciously su preme. Nowhere is this decision more blessed than in the sick-room. Where it exists in its genuineness the sufferer is never contradicted, never coerced; all little victories are assumed. The decisive nurse is nev er peremptory, never loud. She is distinct it is true there is nothing so aggravating to a sick person aa a whisper but she is not loud. TLough quiet, she never walks tip toej she never makes gestures; all is open above-board. She knows no diplomacy or finesse and, of course her shoes never creak. Her touch is steady and encouraging. She does not potter. .Sh never looks at you sideways, you neer catch her watching. She never slau2s tbe door, of course, but she nevr sut9 slowly, as if she were cracking a nu in the hinge. She never talks be hind it. She never peeps. She pokes the fire skilfully, with firm, judicious penetration. She caresses one kind of patient with genuine sympathy. she talks to another as if he were well. She is never in a hurry; she is worth her weight in gold and has a healthy prejudice aganist physic, which, however, she knows at the right time how to conceal. Rural New Yorker. How to Rescue a Drowning Person. A child may be- easily managed by an expert swimmer; but if the drowning person is strong and pow erful it is often imperitively necessa ry to keep out of his reach until he is partially exhausted; otherwise he will clutch his rescuer, and both . may go down together, neiptess. Calmness and cautiou are invaluable the water. The sufferer will clutch any thing extended toward him at first an oar, branch of a tree ,a neck-tie, or a sleeve of a jacket, and if the other end of the article can be held in the mouth the rescuer has the use of his arms. But still it is needful to keep out of the reach of the drowning person, tro Denma him and push him along, but never attempt to reason with him. If he becomes insensible a good swimmer can easily bring him ashore, and thsa the proper means of restoration should be immediately used. Ira. pulsive reoklessness, even though inspired by the most generom feel ing, is not so apt to saTe a drowning person as thoughtful caution. It may be well to mention that iu case one feels cramp coming on while in the water it is best not to stop, but to strike out faster than before; a sudden jerk of the limb is oftea an effectual relief. JiurcUXtnc Yorlr. Generosity Rewarded. The French papers tell a good story of a true Gavroche of Paris who was found bathing illegally in the Seine, by a zealous Sergeant de Ville. The urchin swam like a fish, and the po liceman not at all. The latter spur red on by el for the publio welfare, and by the hope of earning the reward of one frauo offered for such captures, crept in to a boat and trid to nab the lad as he floated by.

" I will let you off," gasped the grateful ot ficer. " Indeed?" quoth Gavroeh. "but I shan't let you off. For I have saved your '.life, and that is worth, by the law, twenty-five francs to me.
