While in England  some  years ago,  I found my way into one of ttioee quaint burial places so familiar to  travellers in the country districts ;   tiut  this one was peculiarly interesting because something of ita pastoral beauties  and   thu  repose- fulness of ita silvnt  tombs  as   well   bad long since been immortaliz.'d   in  Gray's exquisite verse.     Here,  in Stoke-Poges churchyard, whose }>eaceful haunts  had lieen his theme, the poet   wa?  laid,  but Ihe elc(iuence and  pathos of hi;! elegy! survives   even   the    marble shaft  they ¦ reared above his grave.     1   stood beside and read thoee quoted  lines,  and   trnlay I they come fixating through my memory. I cannot help but  feel   how  autly   thev 1 suggest themselves to me now, as I   look ' down upcn a mound,  freshly  made,  in the old Plymouth burying gr.iund. i
1 thought of the corpse that lay be-, neath, which bat a few days ago had i beatne<l with the aiiimation of iife, and i reeling in the s-atiffyiiig consciousness j ofa successful career, all too soon shorn i of its rewards. .
While it may be tine that the laurels | Hovenden had won possess an undying j vitality in the hearts of those who love , art, yet more precious to tliem—tboee ' who were his friends and neighbors—is i the memory of the man, whose virtues I will live Willi ineffaceable tenderm-ss ; where perchance his art would tind little sympathy or consideration.
The heroic was an inhere! t tlement; among the valued qualitiis ul hif uatiire. , Alt eould not give liim this, l.ir in itself it was only the evolution uf a doriuant , genius that broadened out and <leveloped j wilh the greater possibilities l>efore lum, i and though untimely has he passeil, it 1 adds another name to tbe roll of M mt-I gomery's renowned citizens.
I remember lum as a plain, unassuming gentleman ; dignitied and cullure«l, yet easily approached ; simple and courteous in all his ways, atul kind to strangers ami neighbors iilike. He was luveil by all; bis life atn ing his neighbors was much like the soft rippling ufasummer stream. His habits and tastes were domestic, and the home across tbe way from the ven¬ erable meeting-bouse was embowered in foliage and as unostentatious as bis own character. There he lived happily many years, filling bis home with treasures ( f liis artistic life, which made it attiactive and satisfying. Il, too, was gladdened by tbe presence of an amiable family and the j lyousness of his children. All his surroundings were suggestive of that simplicity which fouud expression in his work. None knew bo well ag he the habits,   customs   and  home-life  of the
country-folk about him; of such were the familiar scenes which he truthfully limned upon the canvas.
The associations of Plymoutb M'.^ting, with the stirring Abolition movement and excitementa centering berealiout, were a fascinating memory to bim. The details ot tbe village life and the factors in it, whom be loved so well, all tell their story througb the artist's touch.
My own acijuaintance with Tliomas Hovenden dates only a few years back, and began in Ihis waj : Oue day, while drivin)^ through Plyiuouth township on the pike between Conshohocken and Harniotivire, my attention was attract¬ ed to a piece of sculpture which had been built into the rough, mssonryofa farmer's house on the Channing Potts place. I was struck by the unusual spec¬ tacle, and as much by the fineness ofthe carving and its rich design; it denote<l a work of no ordinary merit, and hardly of native conception. It waa a piece of fine, white marble, perliap.s ^'x-i feet in dimensions, wilh the figures ol two cherubs in bas-relief reel ini ng against a medallion, and supporting between them heavy festoons of fliwers and fruits. My curiosity was aroused, for 1 felt sure tliere must l>e some interesting history attached lo it ; and there lay also in the Iront yard of tlie farmhouse two massive capitals that were probably parts of cilumns ; these were in use ae flowerpot stands. I made iixpiiry con¬ cerning tbese stray frattments, but mone knew anything aliout them, exceitt one pels in, who ventured tbe opinion that (loseibly Mr. Hovenden, tbe painter, at Plymoutb, would, on general principles, b^ able lo give me some information. As I had intended passing through Ihe vil¬ lage, I determined to call ujion him.
It was a lovely early summer morning, aa 1 well rniiember,and all nature Seemed at its best, and j'lst such a day.yoii would say,tbat prompted Lowell to wrile; "What | is so rare as a  day

To the tliiitirormed it is astonishing how near to notliing in nmny instances clothes are stild nowadays.

Some    make   coats, others   yi sts   and ] others again  trousers.    It is seldom that . one family undertakes to make all three. , Coats and vests n quire tbe greater skill 1 and hence a better price is paid to ni.ike ! these.    However, only   a   few  ceiilH  aie ! paid for making a pair of trousers, a few more for  a vest  and  a few   more  fir  a coat.    The   women are  glad to get   that much and the hum of the sewing machine is heard early and late in order lo earn • few dollars per month.    Duiim; the win¬ ter and in   the   wet   weather dining   the sumtiirr the  men of the   family assist in the work   and run the sewing   machine, but tbey are very shy  of being caught so engaged   and  invaritily arise  from their occupation when a visitor approaches.
The work and pay ia about the same as inthe sweat shops in the larger cii ie». The environments, liowever, are alto¬ gether different.

found and stopped before Mr. Hoven- den'sgate. The house was wide open and the air balm-laden with tbe odor of the evergreen about it. I was ushered into luxurious rooms, and the artist soon appeared from the direction of the studio with my card in his hand; he grt-eted me cordially, and at tbe same tune re¬ marked j ikingly abont the rarity of tbe name wtiich appeared upon it. I stated my errand, and he was at once interested, because he had long ago noticed the sing¬ ular carving, and, like myself, made in¬ quiries, and learned that if originally formed a part ofthe arctiitectural einliel lisbment of Kobert Morris' magnificent mansion, which that gentleman, with his accustomed extravagance, partially erect¬ ed at Seventh and Cheetntit streets, Phila¬ delphia, lust a century ago, and which, though planned aud reared on a i!cale of grandeur ..;ver attempted l)efort' in that cily, waa destined .I'-ver to be conipleted, Morris' creditors finally tearing it down and selling the ricb materials in "lots to euitj" and thua it l»as, in all probability, that some portions of "Morris' Folly' found their way into tbe old limestone dwelling on the Plymouth pike. These ornamental lintels and entablatures had lieen carved at the quarries in Italy, and were brought to this country in Morris' own ships. Major J. Enfant was respon¬ sible for this piece of misdiief that was done for the ;,'reat "financier o; the Invo¬ lution,' who, though in every way suc¬ cessful in the management (>f the finan¬ cial resources of tbe conntry, geeme<l so wholly incapable of taking care of bis own revenues.
Our conversation turned from this sub¬ ject to that of Mr. Hovenden's own pro¬ fession. I was shown a great variety of paintings which enriched the walls of his pleasant bome. .Mr. Hovenden re¬ ferred to some trouble he was then be¬ ginning to experience from distress in his eyes, and that, witb the desire to get a much needed rest, led hira to decide upon a trip abroad ; and to he told me of his projiosed journey to England, and ; keep a bott'le of the retnedy handy.

Editing a paper is indeed a pleasant thing. If it c^^intaitis too much politit al matter people won't have it
If It contains too little they won't have I it at all. Ifthe type is large il don't I contain enough reading nialtir, and if j the type ig small they can't read it. ll we put in a ft w jo'<e8 tht v say we are an ^ old foseil.
I If we pnblish original matter, they condemn us for not giving selections; i( we give thetn seleclions, people siy we are lazy. If we give a man a rotnpli- mentary notice, we are censured for tieing partial; if we do not, all hand- gay we are a iKire.
If we insert an ariic;le which please*- the ladies the men are jealom ; if we do not cater to tbeir wishef, the pajier is not ttt to be seen in tl.e house.
If we attend chun-li, they say it is on'y for effect ; if we do not, they d«- nounce us as deceilhil and de«(K;r;it«-ly wicked. If we siieak well of an a'l, foikf sav we dare not do otherwi'-e.
if we itenmre, tbey call ns traitorw. If we protect the iimo<-ent from "caudal- mongers, they say we are bought oil; if we don't, we ought to tie dealt with.

as I had but recently returned from there myself, we found mucb in common to converse upon in that relation.
I conld not belp admiring his oper, candid nature, his genial disposition, and a charming personality with eoch a free¬ dom from the usual affectations of pro¬ fessional men that was really refreshing. Thus I enj jyed my interview with him in a most gratifying manner. When I took my leave of him and drove away, I felt that I saw much te esteem in this man as one of trae worth and high char¬ acter.
That I was not mistaken in my esti¬ mate is evident by the action which cist bim his life. Only those that have such chivalrous natures would risk eternity to saves fellow creature, no matter how humble its sphere. We may see in tbis deed a lesson in the divine law exem- plifie<i, for "greater love hath no man than this, that be lay down his life for hig friends."
