I hear them from the gentle breeze, And from the furious gale; Which play their gamhols o’er the hills, And sweep along the vale.

I heard them from the flowery mead, W'hei-e blooming in its pride, The little daisy, was at noon, But scorched at evontide; Crying aloud, “Ye beautiful, When thus you look on me, Remember what I was at noon, And what you soon may be.” I hear them from Times crowded page, â€"Page of mystic story, Of those who revelled in their pride, Boasted in their glory; Crying along, “ Prepare ye Strong, King time is ’neath your wall; If other foes to you are weak To him you 8001) must fall.” I hear them from those vacant seats, By those who are no more, All telling: me in language clear As one was told before ; “ Life is swift, and life is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave; Still like mufiled drums are beating, Funeral marches, to the grave.” I heard them on the farewell day.

Besides which. when one, more daring than the rest, ventured to inquire concerning monsieur’s prob- able solnrn in the hotel, etc., the stranger had answered mysterious- ly, ‘N’importe mun enfantâ€"in et- fect you will know time enough.’ ‘ Mon Dieu !’ exclaimed a by- stander. ‘ ifit should be Monsieur the Governor himself, for example.’ So the sensation arose among the waiters and commumcatcd itself to the guests.

Presently the farmer came home and asked for his money. The wife told him that she had sent it by a soldier to her former husband in Paradise to buy him leather to cobbling the shoes of the saints and angels in heaven.

The second Viscount Palmerston succeeded his grandfather in the year 1757. By his first wife, the daughter of a Cheshire Baronet, he had no issue. He married a second time. The story of his second mar- riage, which we present merely as a story, for we have not been able to authenticate it by any authority which amounts to anything ap- proaching to certainty, is the fol- lowing :â€"It is said that the Vis- count, after his bereavement of his first wife, was riding on horseback through the streets of Dublin, and ‘was thrown. and one of his limbs fractured. He was carried into an adjacent house, and upon medical assistance being summoned, it was found that it Would be dangerous or fatal to have him removed. The house was occupied by a respect- able hatter in middling circum- stances. The hatter’s daughter un- dertook the task of nursing the in- iured Peer. The consequence of her attentions was that they fell in love with each other. and the result was their marriage. The lady be. came the mother ofthe great Eng- lish Premier. We repeat we can- not at all vouch for the accuracy of this gossip; but, to say the least. a colorablc possibility is lent to it by the fact that in the “ Peerage,” and in such temporary authorities and chronicles of aristocratic doings as the Gentlemen’s Magazine, no furâ€" ther reference is made to the second wife of the second Viscount Pat'- merston than that her name was Mary Mee, and that of her father Benjamin Mee. in the absence of all allusion to her family connec- tions, the inference is almost if not quite inevitable that the lady was of obscure birth. Mary Mee be- came a peeress in the right ot her husband, by her marriage on the 7th ot‘Januarv 1783; and Henry John Temple, Knight of the Garter, The Storv of Lord Palmerston’a Birth. G. C. of the Bath, was the first born'of her marriage, his natal day being October 20, 1784. He was born on English soilâ€"~Br0adlands in Hampshireâ€"his father’s English seat having the honor of his nati- vity. So Lord Palmerston himself wrote it down at the census of 1861. â€"â€"Life of Lord Palmerston. Do you ever go to evening par- fies? said an acquaintance to ano- ther. No, saidvmy friend Tom. I used to, but I am cured. " ~ How so ? said I, anxious to learn his experience.

[courted like a trump, and l_thought 1 had her sure, when she eloped with a tailor. But I swore vengeance. l patronized the robber of my happiness, and ordered a full suit of clothes, rc- gardless of expense. But your vengeance, said I. I struck the tailor in his most vital part. I never paid that bill. But those infernal clothes were the cause of all my future misfortunes â€"-that they were. Wearing them I captivated my present wife. She told me so, and I haven’t seen a happy day since. But I am bound to be square with that wretched tailor on the long run. Ileft him a legacy. on cam- dition that he married my widow. How so, said I. with a smile of compassion. WELL ANSWEREDâ€"J I will not The- lieve anything but what I understam l,’ said a selfâ€"confident young man in a hot :1, one day. ‘Nor will l,’ said another. ‘ Neither will I,’ chimed in a third. ‘ Gentlemen,’ said one well known to me, Who was on a journey, and Who sat close by, ‘do I understand you correcl tly, that you will not believe anything fl hat you don’t understand ?’ ‘ I will not,’ said one, and so saide 1011 one of the trio, ‘ \Vell,’ said the stranger, ‘in my "ride this morning I saw some geese in a 'field eating grasse ; do you believe that ?’ ‘ Certainly,’ said the three'unbelie‘ Jen). ‘I also saw pigs eating grass; do you belieVe that ?’ ‘ Of Coane,’ was again replied. ‘And I also saw sheep and cows eat grass ; do you believe that ?’ ‘ Of course,’ was again replied. ‘ Well, but the grass which they had formerly eaten had by digestion tuned ‘to feathers on the back of the geese, to bristles on the backs of the swine, to wool on the sheep, and on the cows it. had turned to hair; do you believe that, gentlemen ?’ ‘Ccrtainl ’ the re lied. Y; y P ‘ Yes, you believe it,’ he rejoined, ‘ but do you understand it ?’ They were confounded, and silent, and evidently ashamed, as they well might be. CREEKâ€"A chemist was called up at two o’clock the other morning by the ringing of the night-bell. On opening the door he found a. damsel, who told him that she was going to a pic-nic that morning and was out of rogue. The impudent druggist turned her off with the assurance that he hadn’t in stock as much as would cover a check like her. Vengc anceâ€"Rather !
