OH, DARLING. TO NIGHT.
. Lilian Whiting
Bing to toe, darling, oh, darling, to-night!
I sit weary and faint in the lessening light
The day so full freighted with duties ha
past,
' And left me no courage, no sweetness at last.
The burden 8 were heavy my hand was too
slight
Sing to me, darling, oh, darling, to-night 1
Hay for me, darling, oh, darling, to-nightl
Touch the white keys with your fingers of
" light;
Walcen the melodies, only your hand
Can make for my heart in its pleading de
mand. Dreams half divine at your touch will unite
Flay for me, darling, oh, darling, to-niht!
Talk to me, darling, oh, darling, to-night!
Your words will fall softly as love and as
light;
Tell me how even our faltering hands
Can wrest from this life our divinest de
mands, Till life may be made of their sweetness and
light
Talk to me, darling, oh, darling, to-night!
Pray for me, darling, oh, darling, to-night!
For the world grows dark with the fading
light
The sea wind blows chill, the foam waves
are creeping '
The stare have grown weary their watches
of keeping
My spirit from earth Would be winging her
flight
Pray for me, darling, oh, darling, to-night!
'ALL ENLIGHTENED DINERS."
An Open-Hearted Assembly at the
-Winner of llinsed Antliors."
Alphonse DauJet says, ia his reminis
censes of "Tourgueneff in Paris," published
in The Century, with a portrait from life:
"It was at this period that we conceived the
idea of a monthly gathering at which we
friends should meet; it was to be called 'the
Flaubert dinner,' or 'the dinner of hissed au
thors.' Flaubert belonged to it by right of
his 'Candidate I by that of my 'Arlesiexine,'
Zola with 'Bouton de Rose,' De Goneourt
with 'Henrietta ilarecba!.' Eraile de Gir
ardin wished to slip into our group; but
though be had been heartily hissed at the
theatre, he was not a writer in our sense of
the word, and we excluded him. As for
Tourgueneff, be gave us his word that he had
been hissed in Russia; and as it was very far
off, none of us" went to see.
"Nothing can be more delightful than
these friendly feasts, where you talk in per-
m m. a l - - j 1 1 . 1
ieci ireeuonr, wiui your wiis uu present, uuu
your elbows on the cloth. Like men of ex
perience, we were all enlightened diners.
Naturally, there were as many forms of this
enlightenment as there were different tem
peraments, and as many receipts for dishes
as different provinces. Flaubert had to have
hisNorman butter-pats, and his ducks from
Rouen a V etouffade. De Goneourt pushed
refinement and criticism to the peint of de
manding preserved ginger! I did. honor to
my bouillabaisse, as well en to sea-urchins
and shell-fish; and Tourgueneff kept on
tasting his caviare.
"Ah, we were not easy to feed, and the
restaurants of Paris must remember us well!
We tried a great many. At one time we
were with Adolphe & Pele, behind the Opera;
then in the Place de l'Opera Cpmique; then
with Voisin, whose cellar pacified all our ex
actions and reconciled all our appetites.
"We sat down at 7 o'clock, and at 2 in
the morning we were still at table. Flaubert
and Zola dined in their shirt-sleeves, Tour
gueneff stretched himself on the divan; we
turned the waiters out of the room a need
less precaution, as the mighty 'jaw' of Flau
bert was heart! from the ton to the bottom of
the house and then we talked of literature.
Some one of us always had a book just out;
it was the 'Teiftation de Sainte Antoine' and
the Trois Contes' of Flaubert,.. the 'Fillo
Elisa' of De Goneourt, the 'Abbe Mouret' and
the "Assommoir of Zola. Tourgueneff
brought the 'Living Relics' and 'Virgin Soil;'
I, 'Fromont Jeune,' 'Jack,' 'The Nabab.'
We talked to each other open-hearted Iy,
without flattery, without the complicity of
mutual admiration.''

A good deal of attention has recently been
paid among students of animal intelligence
to the power of comprehension of human
speech shown by certain of the lower orders
of creation. The foregoing anecdote is told
in support of the theory that understanding
is due to the effect of tones rather than
words, and that such is the case would seem
to be indicated by the behavior of mules un
der the stimulus of a professional "swearer.'
Who that has heard a western plainsman
"swear" a mule team out of a slough can for
get the cumulative effect with which tbe
climax is reached. It is said that on some
much-traveled routes there are certain driv
ers who are sent for in case of trouble simply
because they can "persuade" more work out
of a mule team than the combined lashings
of all the rest of the train can whip out of
them.
It must be aimittel, however, that the
scope of English in the way of picturesque
sweaiing is vastly wider than that of any
other language of civilization. We do not
Bay this in apology for the ungentlemanly
and wholly inexcusable vice of vulgar pro
fanity, but because it affords an example of
tbe superior flexibility of English as a form
of speech. We doubt if there is any other
language whose current coin of expletives
can be used with any effect on a western
mule team. The oaths of French, Germans
and Italians are comparatively harmless, and
are capable of but few variations. English,
therefore, may possibly be the most compre
hensible to tbe animal creation, simply be
cause of the readiness with which it lends it
eLf to what may be termed the denunciatory
scale,
The -SqnarV Was Ahead.
In the days gone by a citizen of Detroit
who has lately been gathered to his fathers
was a justice of the peace for one of the
townships of this county. One day as he sat
in his office with nothing to do a friend came
along with a younj horse. The Squar was
somewhat conceited on tbe horse question,
and when informed that the equine before
him would let no man ride him he at once
determined to accloniplish the feat A crowd
gathered, a sad lie was brought, and his
honor presently found himself astride of the
beast The next thing he knew he was lying
in a muddy ditch, ami a dozen men were
laughing to kill.
"I declare this court in session!" yelled his
honor as he struggled up.
At this there was a fresh burst of laughter
and he continued:
"And each and every one of you is fined
f3 for contempt of court!"
They laughed harder than ever, but the
fines were recorded and collected, and for
years after it was understood that court was
in session except when the Squar was in bed
and asleep.

In secluded parts of Mount Olivet

are the graves of Mary K. Surratt and
Wirz, the keeper of the AnJersonville
Erison pen. Wirz is buried under a tall
ickory tree, in whih s juirrels chatter
and gambol. Tall, rank weeds and un
kempt grass surround the spot, and
the simple word "Wirz" on a small
block of marble at the head of the
grave is the only thing to denote hi
resting-place. Mrs. Surratt's grave is
equally obscure. A small, plain head
stone has simply the name, "Mrs. Mary

THE VARIETIES OF LAUGHTER.
From the He-He Ulga-le to the Thon-Band-Acre-Unffaw.
.
Brooklyn Eagle.
There is the hearty laugh, the con
vulsive laugh, the he-he laugh, and the
uproarious, almost-tumble-out-of-tho-chair
laugh. There was the laugh of
Trince Hal. -who was said to laugh ."till
his face is like a wet cloak ill, laid up."
There is the incipient laugh, which is
not a laugh but a smile. The : late
Charles Backus, the minstrel.who.it will
be remembered, had a very large mouth,
was once having' his photograph taken.
The operator told him to look pleasant,
to smile a little. The famous minstrel
gave an elaborate smile. "Oh, that
will never do!" said the photographer,
it's too wide for the instrument.
Speaking of a western actress the re
porter wrote : "Her smile opened out
like the Yosemite valley in a May morn
ing." When Miss Marie Wijt n, the
Euglish actress, played Hester Graze
brook in the "Unequal Match," her
laugh was said to be of the character
that first ts it were looks out of the
eyes to see if the coast was clear, then
steals down into a pretty dimple of the
cheek and rides there in an eddy for
the while ; then waltzes at the corners
of the mouth like a thing of life ; then
bursts its bonds of beauty and fills the
air for a moment with a shower of
silver-tongued echoes and then steals
back to its lair in the heart to watch
again for its prey." How different from
the kind of laugh of Prince Hoare, a
friend of Hayden, the painter. This
gentleman was a delicate, feeble-looking
man, with a timid expression of face,
and when he laughed heartily he almost
seemed to be crying.
It runs in families sometimes to dis
tort the countenance in laughter. Mr.
Labouchere speaks of a family who
laugh a great deal, and who always
Rhnt their eyes when they do so. It is
funny at the dinner table, when some
thing witty is said to look around aud
see the same distortion of every face.
There is not an eye left in the family.
A trio of sisters is spoken of who show
half an inch of pale pink gums when
they laugh. In their presence like
Wendell Holmes, one "never dares to
be as funny as one can," for fear of see
ing their applauding triple of gums.
A laugh is sometimes only a sneer.
Diogenes, of tub notoriety, saw a good
deal of this kind of laughter. Some one
said to him, " Many people laugh at
you." " But I," he quickly remarked,
" am not laughed down."

"Do I consider the taste for oddities a
healthy one? Not when it is carried as
far as it is by those who make it a spec
ialty. I had a customer once whose taste
in art wa3 ruined by his fancy in this
direction. I had placed in my window
a very curious old print of Abraham and
Isaac. On account of a slip of the en
graver's burin, Abraham's nose was so
enormously large as to interfere with the
solemn nature of his intentions touching
his son. The young man I speak of was
fascinated by this picture. I held it at
a prohibitory price, $75. He determine J
to buy the print, and deposited $23 on
it, begging me to hold it for him. After
a while he took his prize awav, and he
has been buying things of that kind ever
since.
"A man I used to sell old snuff-boxes
to dates his passion for art oddities
from the time I sold him a large metal
bowl, which he still regards as the gem
of his collection. It is a basin about
eighteen inches in diameter, surrounded
by animals who are engaged in swal
lowing each other. A whale, with his
tail bent upward so as to form a handle,
is taking in a crocodile, who in his turn
is disposing of a big-headed donkey;
the latter animal is making way with a
gorilla, who is straining every nerve to
swallow a struggling goat ; and so on,
until we come to a goose who is gob
bling up a snake, who consoles himself
by hoisting in a frog. A young devil,
who forms the other handle, looks on
with a grim smile while he displays a
scroll on which is written : Ye big fishes
swallowing ye little.' This piece cost
its owner $3,500..
"This person had an old punch-bowl
of Yungching ware, on the edges of
which there sat astride a number of
curious figures ia various stages of in
toxication. One of them appeared
about toppling over into the bowl ; an
other had fallen over on the outside,
but was preserving his neck by hang
ing with one toe caught on the edge of
the article.
"Another of my old customers cared
most for oddities which included some
kind of a battle. He had a fanny thing
called 'Dwarfs Fighting.' Their idea
of a knock-out was pulling each other
around by the ears, which stretched
enormpuslv. He had a piece for which
he paid $800. -This man had a little,
old painting, which was more than
quaint or odd. The design, as it ap
peared three feet away, was of a
young and beautiful woman, very richly
dressed. I was charmed with the ef
fect, and withdrew for a better per
spective. As I moved away, the mag
nified draperies merged into a dull mass
of color, and I could distinguish through
all the finery the bones of a skeleton
occupying the place of the figure. It
was a very skillful piece of painting,
and cost the owner $1,700. He bought
it in Antwerp."
The "Store' Pumpkin --'.
Peck's Sun.
The store kind of pumpkin pie has
a sort of sickly second-cousin coun
tenance, and is scarcely over an
eighth of an inch thick, with a
crust on the bottom that almost
breaks a tinner's shears to cut it. As for
taste, that has to be imagined, as it is a
sort of go-as-you-please flavor between
tan bark and cinnamon. Then again,
100 store pies will be made out of an
ordinary 20-cent pumpkin. Each pie is
cut into eight pieces about the size of two
fingers, which sell for 5 cents. This brings
40 cents for a pie, or $40 for the pro
duct of the pumpkin. That leaves the
store-keeper $3'J and 80 cents profit on
his pumpkin and as the crust is thin
with no shortening in it 80 cents ought
to cover this cost, leaving an even $39
profit on the transaction.
A slice of mother's pumpkin jjje the
size of your two hands, that's the regu
lation cut in home-made pie, and an
inch and a half thick contains more
real pie than a dozen store pies, and
there is no danger of trouble f ron indi
gestion eating it.

AT GREYSTONE.
A Graphic Description Of the Home
of Samuel J. Tilden.
The rand Panorama to be Heen
From the Tower The Lawfii
and Uroands Narroandlnz
9 the Castle.'
New York Journal
! Probably the most prominent point just at
present along the lower Hudson is Greystone,
the home of Samuel J. Tilden. Nearly all
the editors of the Democratic state press
have found their way to Greystone and many
are frequent visitors, taking such advice and
instructions as the sage may see fit to give
them. As the presidential campaign of 1SS4
draws nigh, private conclaves are the order
at Greystone. During the past week or two,
sessions were attended by Messrs. Bigelow,
Manning, Dana and others.
Greystone consists of. fifty-five acres of
fine rolling ground on the east bank of the
Hudson, sixteen miles from tbe New
York city hall. ' It has a frontage of
1,900 feet on the river bank, and extends
for three-quarters of a mile toward the
rolling island country. The old Albany post
road and the Croton aqueduct run parallel
with the rivei through the property. Grey
stone castle is located on one of the highest
elevations of the estate, and is surrounded by
rolling lawns. It is a massive four-story
structure, built of native grey granite, quar
ried near by, and is surmounted by a tall
tower from which one of the grandest and
most extensive views of this part of the world
can be obtained. One hundred and eighty
five thousand dollars was the price asked for
Greystone, which was originally built by Mr.
John T. Waring, and it is said that it was
not until Mr. Tilden had entered the uppr
chamber of the tower and looked out
upon the surrounding country that he
was willing to give a decisive answer.
A GRAND PANORAMA.
A powerful glass in the tower commanded
a view of a radius of many miles around
Greystona To the south the eye follows the
winding Hudson to New York bay and for
some distance beyond Sandy Hook. Many
points of prominence in New York city may
be distinctly recognized. The obelisk in
Central park, Trinity church steeple, the
Brooklyn bridge and all prominent buildings
can be located. To the right, over the Pali
sades, can be distinctly seen the various vil
lages of the Hackensack valley and northern
New Jersey. Turning toward the north the
Hudson gradually widens until it emerges
into the Tappan-Zee, which at the King and
light house near Tarry town is five miles
broad. Along the high ridge of hills, with a
gradual slope toward the river bank, which
forms a continuous chain above Greystone,
are many turreted castles, the residences of
some of New York's most noted millionaires,
such as Villard and Cyrus TV. Field.
THE CASTLE AND GROUNDS.
Upward of $100,000 have been spent on the
Greystone estate since it came into the hands
of Mr. Tildenl Every requisite for the health,
comfort and pleasure of its occupants has
been brought into use. The most rigid sani
tary laws are enforced both in and about the
castle, and all parts are open to the frequent
inspection of the family physician, Dr. Si
monds, who is a modern sanitary expert.
The interior of the castle is compose I of
twenty-four rooms besides the tower cham
bers and basement. All are furnished in a
rich but not gaudy manner, the carpets,
paintings and draperies all Wearing a heavy
and massive appearance.
TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH.
All modern improvements such as light
ing, heating, burglar-alarms, telephone
and telegraph have been brought into
use. "With the telephone Mr. Tilden is able
to talk with the master of his yacht lying at
anchor off Greystone, and is able to call for
all his wants among the dealers and business
men of the city of Yonkers, all of whom are
pleased and ready to dispatch their employes
at a moment's notice to do his bidding.
With the telegraph Mr. Tilden keeps posted
on the political points of the day and in giv
ing such advice to his Democratic circles of
friends from Maine to Texas as his active
mind may from time to time suggest. Mr.
C. A. Dana, who is one of the most frequent
visitors to Greystone, finds it necessary to
make considerable use of the wires, and
Daaiel Manning, of The Albany Argus, also
appreciates the "governor's friendly, tip."
The office of the Wall street broker who acts
for Mr. Tilden is also brought within reach
by both telephone and telegraph, and fre
quently important stock operations are gov
erned by the instructions received over the
wires from the Sage of Greystone.
THE FAMOUS ROADSTERS.
The lawns and grounds surrounding Grey
stone are laid out with the greatest care, and
are under the charge of one of the most thor
oughly skilled landscape gardeners of the
age. The grounds in front slope gently to
ward the river bank, and are laid out in
flower gardens, bowers, shaded walks and
drives, interspersed with fountains, brooks,
miniature lakes and statuary. To one side
partially secreted by tall elms are the stables,
in which are kept the famous span of Ken
tucky roadsters, three other well matched
pair of carriage horses and the world-renowned
charger which figured so prominently
in the parades and inspections attended by
Mr. Tilden while he was governor of the
state. Mr. Tilden is yet an excellent eques
trian and may occasionally ba seen at an
early hour riding along the Croton aqueduct,
which runs for several miles north of Grey
stone unobstructed - by fences and forms a
pleasant and level route. The main stable is
fitted and furnished with every invention
and comfort that have ever been devised for
the comfort of the horse.
The carriage house is large and stocked
with all kinds of vehicles from the mam
moth family coach highly finished and
burnished to the open basket phaeton.
The stables and grounds surrounding the
castle are guarded both by day and night by
a pair of English bloodhounds and a jxnder
ous St. Bernard. The St. Bernard and "Leo,'
the gentlest of the pair of bloodhounds, may
be seen during the daytime sporting and roll
ing about the lawns or wandering through
the wooded paths, but promptly at a certain
hour of the evening leave their pleasant
quarters and jog slowly toward the post road,
and taking up a station at the southern end
of the estate, patiently watch for the coming
of the mounted night police patroL Their
special friend is Officer Jo Reynolds, who
has patrolled the beat in front of Greystone
now for several years. Leo and his mate have
a good record among the officers of the Yon
keis force, and have become well trained
auxiliaries to the night patrol. Tbe dogs
have frequently frustrated the plans of bur.
glars, and occasionally swoop down upon and
capture noted prey.

requesting an unbiased and true opinion
of the Life Essence, I can say, that be
fore prescribing it I was so favorably im
pressed with the formula that I concluded
to cive it a fair trial on myself. I had been
suffering from ulcers of the prostrate, of
course with loss of the use of the organ.
My strength was greatly reduced, both
from pain and the constant drain. My
nervous system was in a deplorable state.
I took, 1-32 of a grain of strychnine three
times a day. but without favorable result.
I then commenced the Life Essence sent
me. and have grown strong and firm in my

from night work and the labor of the day
combined, my nervous system gets into an
irritable state, resulting in sleeplessness
and irritability; if I take a teaspoonf ul on
