The favorite poems of Lincoln and Garfield inspire a mournful and permanent interest. The authors of both are unknown. Mr. F. B. Carpenter, the artist, writes that, while engaged in painting Lincoln's picture at the White House, he was alone one evening with the President in his room, when he said: "There is a poem which has been a great favorite with me for years, which was first shown to me when a young man by a friend, and which I afterward saw and cut from a newspaper and learned by heart. I would," he continued, "give a great deal to know who wrote it, but have never been able to ascertain." Here is the poem: OH, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF MORTAL BE PROUD? Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swift-feeding meteor, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a burst of the wave, GORGEOUS PALACES. The Homes of the Vanderbilt in New York. [From the New York Star.] Three brown-stone houses in the block on the west side of Fifth avenue, between Fifty-first and Fifty second streets, attract much attention. The largest is Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt's, and the others are for two married daughters of Mr. Vanderbilt—Mrs. Elliot P. Shepard and Mrs. Henry T. Sloane. Brown stone is used throughout, and the style is a non-descript blending of renaissance with cabinet work in details. A band four feet wide, of grape leaves, is cut into the stone, and runs around the two houses. There are two of these bands at different heights. The three houses referred to above are three stories high, surmounted by a fourth, the windows of which are hidden by an open fretwork of stone. The only material except brown stone which is used in the facades is bronze, of which an elaborate cresting is used at different points. The main staircase, thirteen feet wide, is of oak called "The stairwell of the hoo-floods the inside coming through glass-work." O Vanderbilt's marble, rosewood being hung wit be covered w French artist, dawn of day. The second floor tapestries, silvery woods surface. The fifteen feet.

The houses o Sloane are extration. One oftl mental pieces of Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Like a swallow fleeing meadow, a fast-flying cloud, A flash of the lightning, a break of the wave, Man passes from like to his rest in the grave. The leaves of the oak and willow shall fade, He scattered around and together be laid; And the young and the old, and the low and the high, Shall molder to dust and together shall die. The infant a mother attended and loved, The mother that infanta affection who proved, The husband that mother and infant who blessed, Each all, are away to their dwellings of roost. The maid on whose cheek, on whose brow, in whose eye, Shone beauty and pleasure—her triumphs are by; And the memory of those who loved her and praised Are alike from the minds of the living erased. The hand of the King that the scapter hath borne, The brow of the priest that the miter hath worn, The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave Are hidden and lost in the depth of the grave. The peasant, whose lot was to sow and to reap; The herdman, who climbed with his goats up the steep; The beggar, who wandered in search of his bread, Have failed away like the grass that we tread. The saint who enjoyed the communion of heaven, The sinner who cared to remain ungiven, The wise and the foolish, the guilty and just, Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust. So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed That withers away to let others succeed; So the multitude comes, even those we behold, To reject every tale that has often been told. For we are the same our fathers have been; We see the same sights our fathers have seen— We'd like he same stream and view the same sun. And run the same course our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinking our fathers would think; From the death we are shrinking our fathers would shrink; To the life we are clinging they a so would cling; But it speeds for us all, like a bird on the wing. They loved, but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold; They grieved, but no wall from their slumbers will come; They joyed, but the tongue of their gladness is dumb. They died, ay! they died; and we things that are cow, Who walk on the turf that les over their brow, Who make in their dwelling a transparent abode, Meet the things that they met on their pilgrimage road. Yes! hope and despondency, pleasure and pain, We mingle together in sunshine and rain; And the smiles and the tears, the song and the dirge, Still follow each other, like surge upon surge. Tis the wink of an eye, 'tis the draught of a breath, From the blossom of health to the paleness of death, From the gilded saloon to the bier and the shroud— O, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? Garfield's favorite poem, which we give below, has a lofty tone not unlike that of Lincoln's. It would be a dull soul who could read it without taking inspiration and comfort from it: NO REAPERS OF LIFE'S HARVEST. Ho! reapers of life's harvest, Why a man with rusted blade Until the night dr was round tree And day begins to fade? Why stand yeide, waiting For reapers more to come? The golden moon is passing; Why sit yeide, dumb? Garfield's favorite poem, which we give below, has a lofty tone not unlike that of Lincoln's. It would be a dull soul who could read it without taking inspiration and comfort from it: NO! REAPERS OF LIFE'S HARVEST. No reapers of life's harvest, Why sand with rusted blaze Until the night dr we round thee And day begins to fade? Why stand ye'de, waiting For reapers more to come? The golden moon is passing; Why sit ye idle, dumb? Thrust in your sharpened sickle, And gather in the grain; The night is fast approaching, And moon will come again. The Master calls for reapers, And shall he call in vain? Shall she cease be there ungathered, And waste upon the plain? Mount up the heights of wisdom, And crush each error low; Keep back no words of knowledge That human hearts should know. Be faithful to thy mission, In service of thy Lord. And then a golden chaplet Should be thy just reward. How to Know Your Friend. A miserly old Earl had fallen heir to an estate worth some thousands of pounds. Being always reputed poor, his relations looked askance at him. Unaware of his altered circumstances, he tried the following ruse to know who were his friends: At the beginning of a hard winter old skinflint applied to his relations individually for a little assistance to tide him over the winter. Only one, a niece, a poor teacher, responded by sending £5 of her hard-earned pittance, with a promise of more when her salary became due. Shortly thereafter he old man sickened and died, and to be astonishment and chagrin of his most of relations he bequeathed to the poor teacher, whose heart was in the right place, his whole estate, amounting in all to £20,000. Indian corn will not ripen in Great Britain, but it is proposed to raise the crop for the purpose of stock folder from seed brought from this country. The Courier-Journal thinks that the tailor can point out all the promising young men of the day, and perhaps he can name the bulk of them.

It goes for fourteen months without rewinding and shows the hour and the day of the month. It was originally constructed in 1782, but underwent some alterations in 1816. The scattered tufts of hair swept out from the shop in front of which the variegated pole rears its gilded head are reflexes of barbarism. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

The taste for lectures pure and simple has departed to a very great extent. Only the very best are in demand, and those at much-reduced prices. Theodore Tildon made only about $10,000 last year, while the year after the trial he made $40,000. Beecher, Higginson, and other $100 men are quite willing to lecture for $50 now. They recognize the fact that the prices have come down, and that $50 is pretty fair pay for half an hour's talk that they can repeat often. The scientific lecturers and the lecturers on scholarly topics are growing less in demand. One scientific lecturer, and a man of reputation too, found in a Western town only one auitor, whom he invited out with him to take some oysters. It is not an unusual thing for lecturers to find only two or three persons in the audience. People are afraid to pay out their money on unknown lecturers. Some idea of the class of men who sometimes get on lecture committees may be formed from the fact that one of them sent for an engagement with Dr. Edwin H. Chapin several months.

Anaheim Gazette Print. that she had promised the man who had planted the seed that she would endeavor to preserve specimens of it for him should he return in time. Just when the fruit was fully matured the Bermuda prisoner revisited the jail and asked to see the plant. This request granted, he next called for pepper, salt and vinegar, and, to the horror of the good lady, commenced to eat of the supposed poisonous fruit with a relish that astonished the beholders. After enjoying the strange repast, he informed Mrs. K. that the fruit or vegetable was the tomato or love apple, and that it would be found wholesome and nutritious. The seed of the remaining tomatoes were carefully preserved and distributed among the friends and neighbors of the lady, and thus this now-popular esculent was introduced into the ancient and goodly borough of York. For many years thereafter it was cultivated as an ornament rather than for table use, but by degrees its merits began to be more fully understood and appreciated, and there, and elsewhere, it grew into general public favor.
