THE HURON EXPOSUOR.
To Mrs. Scott Siddons.
I will not offer thee es4..hers do
'The rapturous tributeeef the passing hour
tier deem that homage shall be finished with
The preeentation of a gem, or flower;
But I will fold thine image on my heart's
itoet Lo nor lining,qike a precious thing,
Too sacred for the gaze of vulgar eyes,
As is the tissue of an angel's wing.
Dost thou not know how on. a tired life
A. golden sunehine often sheds e.ray
That lingers there for all time, 'midst the strife
And worldly sorrow of the darkest day?
So has thy presence filled my sonl with joy
Too deep and full to find an utterance here;
A holy spell, free from the world's alloy,
To which I pay the tribute of a tear;
A passing tear, of soft, yet pained regret,
That such sweet spell must soon be of the past;
One of those gleams that corms in length of years,
Too brightly fair, too Heaven -born to last.
Sweet lady 1 knowing thee so brief a space,
Yet bast thou bound me by a golden chain
Of Jove, beneath the witchery of thy fie°,
Whose links will break—ah 1 nevermore again.
So I will take thine image like a rose
Tenderly cared for, laying it away
Within my heart of hearts, guarding it well
From the hot sunshine of life's garish day;
And when the hush of night comes on as now,
I'll take it from its secrecy, and trace
,The f eatures and theIoveliness of mind
That makes so purely fair that classic face;
And in the aftermath, when thou art far,
On the wind's sigh my heart to thine will Bend
It's simple tribute—the unselfish love
And loyal friendship of a woman friend.
— Theresa Corlett.
Sax Fiurtersco, Sept. 29, 1878.
How Garfield's Potent Word
Prevented. Bloodshed.
A Remarkable Occurrence Just Aft
Lincoln Died.
Edmund Kirke, in his life of Jam
A. Garfield, tells a singular story regar
ing the conduct of the present Pres
dent, on the occasion of the assassin
tion of Lincoln which at the particul
time is well worth reproducing:
It was the llth of April, 1865, and
in the midst of the universal rejoicin
over the return of peace, that Mr. Lin-
coln was struck down by the hand of
the assassin. Instantly the telegram
lashed the news from one end of the
land to the other, and tits country be-
came excited to its utmost tension.
New York city, on the morning after
the assassination, seemed ready for the
scene of the French Revolution. The
newspaper head -lines were in the largest
type. Crowds were about the bulletin
boards, and the high crime was on
everyone'e tongue. Fear took poseses-e
sion of men's minds as to the fate of
the Government, for in a few hours the
news carne that Seward, too, had been
natirdered, and. that the attempt had
been made ttpon the lives of other Gov-
. vernment officers. Placards were pu
up everywhere, in great black letters
upon the loyal citizens of Ne
York, Brooklyn, Jersey City, and neigh
boring °Ales to meet around Wall stree
Exchange, and gave expression to thei
eentiments. It was a dark and terrible
hour. What might come next no one
could tell, and meu spoke with bated
breath. The wrath of the workingmen
was simply uncontrollable, and revolv-
ers and. knives were in the hands of
thousands, ready at the first provoca-
tion to avenge the death of the martyr-
ed President upon any and all who
dared to utter a word against him.
Eleven o'clock in the morning was the
hour set for the rendezvous. Fifty
thousand people crowded around the
Exchange Building, *edged in as tight
aa men could stand together. General
Butler, it was announced, had started
from Washington, and was either al-
ready in the city, or expected every
moment; and. the crowd waited in
solema silence for him to arriveand
address the gathering. Not a hurrah
was heard, but, for the most part, dead
silence hung over all, broken only now
and then by a deep, ominous muttering,
which ran like a rising wave up the
street toward Broadway, and again
down toward the river on the right.
In the reception-roorn of the building
nearly a hundred. prominent men—
generals, judges, statesmen, lawyers,
editors, and. clergymen—were gathered,
waiting the arrival of Butler. At
length the batons of the police were
seen swinging in the air, far up on the
left, parting the crowd and pressing it
back, to make way for a carriage that
moved slowly and with difficult jogs
through the compact multitude. Su
denly the silence was broken, and the
cry of ."Butler! Butler 1 Butler 1" rang
out with a tremendous and thrilling ef-
fect, and was taken up by the people.
But not a hurrah! Nat one 1 It was
the cry of a great people, asking to know
how their President died. The blood
boiled in their veins, and the tears ran in
streams down their faces. How it was
done cannot be told, but Butler was
pulled through, and pulled up, and into
the reception room. A broad crape, a
yard long, hung from his left arm, in
striking contrast with the countless
flags that were waving the nation's
victory from the adjoining buildings.
When Butler entered the room he
shook hands with the gentlemen pres-
ent. Some spoke, some could not
speak. All were in tears. The only
word he had for them all at the first
break of, eilence was, "Gentlemen, he
died in the fullness of his fame !" As
he spoke his lips quivered, and the
tears ran fast down his cheeks. After
a few moments, corning out upon the
balcony of the Exchange, Butler ad-
dressed the assemblage. The effeot, as
the crape on his uplifted arm fluttered
in the wind, _ca,n scarcely be imagined.
Men became frantic with excitement.
Daniel S. Dickinson, of New York, was
fairly wild. He leaped over the iron
railing of the balcony, and while a by-
stander held on to his coat to keep him
from falling, he stood there, on the
very edge overhanging thentrowd, ges-
ticulating in the most vehe ent man-
ner, and bidding the crowd "to burn up
the rebel seed, root and branch." By
this time the wave of popular indigna-
tion had swelled to its crest. In an
adjoining street two men lay bleeding,
the one dead, the other dying; one on
the pavement, the other in the gutter.
They had said a moment before that
4'Lincoln ought to have been shot long
ago." They were not allowed to say
it again Soon two long pieces of scant-
ling were raised above the heads of the
crowd, crossed at the top like the letter
X, a looped halter pendent from the
junction, and a dozen men followed its
slow motion through the masses while
the cry of "vengeance 1" surged up from
every quarter. On the right suddenly 1
the shout arose, "The World 1" "The
World 1" "The office of the World!"
"World 1" "World!" and a moveraent
of perhaps eight or ten thousand, turn- I
ing their faces in the direction of that
building, began to be executed. It was
a critical moment. What might have
come had that crowd moved upon the
office of that journal may be easily
ira-
agained. Police and military would
have availed nothing.
just- 'been read from
"Seward is dying." Ju t
juncture, a man stepped
a small flag in his hand
to the crowd. "Anothe! t 1 rara from

"What was the hitch ? '
"Why, Buck is a Methodist: and
Mary is a 'Piscopalian, and ae one
wanted one service, and the otheee an-
other, they patched up' some kind of a
scheme to have both.1 Neither ei-ould
go to the other's churcla but each had
their own minister, and the weddin'
come off in the school house. ! The
'Piscopal minister married MryJ and
the Methodist undertook to z4arry
.Buck, and there they were takin' lter-
nate whacks at the thing, and inether
payin' any attention to the other. The
Methodist brother fired off a se mon
first, and the bride sat down and went
to sleep. Then the 'Piscopalian said
as how we'd all dropped in to see that
woman jined, but he wouldn't say who
to, and wanted to know if there wag any
objections. That started up the AI tho-
dist, who began to ask Buck if he iknew
what a solemn business he was p
at, and if he really meant trade.

All
that time the 'Piscopalian was hor, lin'
around about 'this woman,' and Itlary
was sayin' she'd do this and that and
the other. The Methodistwas marry -
in' away on hie side, and finally lthey
brought up 'agin a stump." .
"How's that ?" asked the clerk. i
e, I
"Well, the 'Piscopalian wouldia' re-
cognize Buck or his minister, and, the
Methodist wouldn't have nothing o do
with Mary or her preacher, and there
was no way of gettm' them toge her.
Everything was all ready except' lakin'
theru if they'd take each other, and
neither of 'ern would do it. Mary and
Buck were standin' hand in hand, and
the crowd was gettin' hungry."
"In what respect ?" inquired the
clerk.
"Beca,use there was no one to pro-
nounce 'em i man and wife. Buck ried
O]
to reason Mary into lettin' the Mho-
dist do that part, and Mary argued With
Bitek and tried to .persuade hina into
listeiainLto her preacher; but it wait no
use. That brought on another row, and
as it was gettin' nigh on to dark we all
felt that something ought to be. done,
and we had been there most all the
day." ,
"Well, did. they get married ?" aeked
the tired clerk.
"Yes; we fixed it up. The minieters
were gettin' pretty mad at each other,
but they agreed that they'd eace attend
to their own flock, so the MethcOist
said 'I now pronounce you man,'
and the 'Piscopalian said, 'I now
pronounce you wife,' they ls, it

the Methodist, and the 'Piscopalian
wanted to know where he cara0 in.
Buck :said he'd hired his man and paid.

his wife's foolishness before marriage, -
her parson could whistle for his wealth.
I guess there'll be a lawsuit about it
for the 'Piscopalian says he'll . have
hadf of that $5 if it takes a leg off to

I A Dairying Conundrum.
! A writer in the New York Times
