On the fly-leaf of an old account book, Jefferson wrote this : " Choose some unfrequented vale in the park, where is no sound to break the stiHness but. a brook that babbling winds among the woods--no mark of human shape that has been there, unless the skeleton of some poor wretch who sought that place out to despair and die in.

His wishes have been well carried out. The old family house was in ruins three years ago and tenanted by an old man who made a living by demanding a fee from visitors. MADISON. At Montpelier, four miles from Orange, Va., Madison is buried. The grave is in the center of a large level field, in a lot about 100 feet square, sur­ rounded by a brick wall. Oc the gate is a sign, " Madison, 1820." Four graves are here. Over .one of them rises a mound twenty feet high. A granite ob­ elisk bears the inscription: " Mftdiaon, born March 16, 1751." By its side is a smaller shaft of white marble,inscribed: " In memory of Dolly Payne, wife of James Madison, born May 20, 1768; died They will wander out for »~niethinfc-be it mod oi be It bad, And my heart with her had settled, and the girl wat all 1 had.

In 1878 the re­ mains were placed in the beautiful cemetery at Frankfort, where they are in the company of many illustrious dead, including Vice President Richard Mentor Johnson. FILLMORE. Millard Fillmore lies buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery, three milesfrom Buffalo. The grave is well taken care of, and is a beautiful spot. A tall monument con­ tains the inscription, '4 Millard Fillmore. Born January 7, 1800. Died March 8, 1874. " The grave is at the eastern ex­ tremity of the lot in the center of a grassy space. At its head rises the monument. In the southeastern corner is a Norway spruce, which shadows the grave. Fillmore's daughter sleeps near the remains oi her father. An iron urn for flowers lies under an evergreen. Near Fillmore's grave are those ol Bunker Hill heroes, of Stephen Champ- lin and Bid well, who fell at Cedar Creek. FIKKCK.

Infancy should be a period of excep­ tional health ; the young of other creat­ ures are healthier, as well as prettier, purer and merrier than the adults, yet the childhood years of the human ani­ mal are the years of sorest sickliness ; statistics show that among the Cauca­ sian races men of 30 have more hope to reach a good old age than a new-born child has to reach the end of its second year. The reason is this : The health- theories of the average Christian man and woman are so egregiouslv wrong that only the opposition of their better instincts helps them--against their con­ science, as it were--to maintain the struggle for a tolerable existence with anything like success, while the helpless infant has to conform to {hose theories --with the above result,---Popular /Sci­ ence Monthly. •Wicked tor Clerg y men.

James Monroe is buried in Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Va. It is on a beautiful site. Five feet under ground, in a vault of bricks and granite, the re­ mains rest. On the sarcophagus, on a brass plate, is this memento : " James Monroe, born in Westmoreland county, 28th April, 1758, died in the city of New York 4th of July, 1831. By order of the General Assembly his remains were re­ moved to this cemetery 5th July, 1858, as an evidence of the affection of Virginia for her good and honored son." Over this monument is a gothic temple twelve feet long and nine feet wide, resting upon four pillars on a foundation of dressed Virginia granite. A cast-iron screen al­ most prevents a view of the monument within. The temple is painted drab color and sanded. The iron is consider­ ably rnstei Around it -fesSs of flowers and tall oaks.

THE PRESIDEWS. WASHINGTON. The grave of the first President, the Father of His^Country, has been visited by so masy thousands of Americans and foreigners that it will be of very little interest to the majority of readers tc pernse a description of the place now. The Mount Vernon Association has taken good care of the first President's last resting-place. Washington's remains were deposited in their present recep­ tacle in 1837. The vault was built in accordance with the provisions of the President's will. It is of brick, with an arched roof. Over the gateway, in a 1 marble tablet, is the simple inscription, j " Within this enclosure rest the remains | of Gen. George Washington." Two ooffins lie in the vestibule of the vault; the first is that of Washington, the other that of Martha Washington. JOHN ADAMS. Beneath the Unitarian Church at Quincv, Mass., may be found the re­ mains of two American Presidents. The church was completed in 1828, and the body of John Adams was removed from the family vault in the cemetery just across the street into the room beneath the church. John Quincy Adams' body was placed in the same room in 1848. Their wives are buried with them. The bodies lie in leaden caskets placed in cases hewn from solid blocks of stone. The tombs are seldom visited, and the apartment is kept dingy and dirty. In the church room above may be found the following inscription : " " Beneath these walls are deposited the mortal re­ mains of John Adams, son of John and Susanna (Boylston) Adams, second President of the United States. Boin 29-30 October, 1735. On the 4th of July, 1776, he pledged his life, fortune and sacred honor to the independence of his country. On the 3d of Septem­ ber, 1783, he affixed his signature to the definative treaty with Great Britain which acknowledged that independence, and consummated the redemption of his pledge. On the 4th of July, 1826, he was summoned to the Independence of Immortality and to the Judgment of his God. This house will bear witness to his piety, this town (his birthplace) to his munificence, history to his patri­ otism, posterity to the depth and com­ posure of his mind." JACKSON. Andrew Jackson is buried at the Her­ mitage, his famous home, on the Leb­ anon pike, eleven miles from Nashville. A massive monument of Tennessee granite marks his grave and that of his wife. It is placed in a corner of the garden. The grave is kept in good order. Three steps lead up to its foot. It is composed of eight fluted doric columns, supporting a plain entablature and dome, upon which stands an urn. In- sida the space is ornamented with white stucco work. A pyramid resting on a square is the monument proper, and nearly beneath it rest the bones of the President. A stone contains this in­ scription : " Gen. Andrew Jackson. Born March 16, 1767; died June 8, 1845." Jackson's wife is buried <m tthe right of the pyramid. » VAN BURKN. Martin Van Buren sleeps in the little village cemetery of Kiuderhook, Co­ lumbia county, N. Y. The President's grave is in the family lot. A granite shaft fifteen feet high contains the fol­ lowing : ; MARTIN VAN BTJBKJJ, ; ; VIHth President of the U. 8. ; ; Horn 5, 1782. ; : Died July 24, 1862. : ure.

It reads thus: " Near this place reposes all that could die of John Qttincy Adams, son of John and Abigail (Smith) Adams, sixth President of the United States. Born 11th July, 1767, amidst the storms of civil commo­ tion, he nursed th e vigor which inspires a Christian. For more than half a cent­ ury, whenever his country called for his labors in either hemisphere or in any oapacity be never spared them in her cause. On the 24th of December, 1814, he signed the second treaty with Greal Britain, which restored peace within her borders. On the 23d of February, 1848. he closed sixteen years of eloquent de­ fense of the lessons of his youth by dying at his post in her great National Council. A son worthy of his father, a citizen shedding glory on his country, a scholar ambitious to advance man­ kind, this Christian sought to walk humbly in the sight of his God."

The name of his wife appears ! upon another face oi the shaft, while on the third is to be seen the name of a son. The house is at the southern end of the village, near the creek, a frame building, which has been entirely re­ modeled of late years. His other resi­ dence, two miles south of the town, is the property of the farmers who live there. HABRiaON. , The resting-place of William Henry Harrison is situated at North Bend, Ind. The gave is a simple mound unfeneed, on a little knoll, and is shaded by beech­ es and other trees. There is no monu­ ment and no inscription anywhere to tell the story of the life of the departed hero. Since the decoration of Scott Harrison's grave the mound has been improved somewhat. The vault has been cemented on the top in imitation of stone slabs. The iron door on the left is now securely fastened, and some effort is made to keep the place in good order. The spot is a lovely one, And could be made by proper improvement to do hon­ or to the remains of the hero of Tippe­ canoe. TYLER. The grave of John Tyler is practically unmarked. A little mound, covered with bushes, just ten yards from the grave of Monroe, in Hollywood Ceme­ tery, Richmond, is pointed out as the spot where a President's remains lie. At its head is a small magnolia tree, on the south is another magnolia tree, and on the north a young juniper tree. The grave is neither inclosed nor curbed. Near by ar6 the graves of Monroe, of William Allen, one < f Jeff Davis' bonds­ men ; of Dr. Lawrence Roane Warren, the philanthropist; of James M.

Beauty is an insignificant power when compared with hers. Young OMM. Young Mr. Gould is undoubtedly the youngest man who has, or has had for many years, a recognized position in tlfe street. He bad barely attained his ma­ jority when his father made him a part­ ner in a firm of which'the other members were his own confidential broker, W. E. Connor, and his private secretary, G. P. Morosini. Mr. Jay Gould contributed to the capital of the firm $500,000. The capital invested by the other partners is not stated, but from their positions and the fortunes it is presumed they have accumulated by their connection with Mr. Gould it is estimated that they con­ tributed about $250,000 each, making the capital of the firm $1,000,000. This is an unusual capital for a simple broker­ age house, in which membership in the Stock Exchange and the attendant cred­ it supply to a great extent the capital that would be required in ordinary com­ mercial business. It is understood that the new firm does not intend to transact a general business--that is, to take ac­ counts as commission firms do--but that its business will be confined to orders from Mr. Gould.

POLK. At the corner of Vine and Union streets, Nashville, at the old family homestead, may be found the grave of James K. Polk. The monument is a block, twelve feet square by twelve in height. It i^ appropriately ornamented and contains, among other inscriptions, this : "James K. Polls, eleventh Presi­ dent of the United States. Born Novem­ ber 2, 1795 ; died June 15, 1849." He was buried here nearly thirty years ago. An iron gate, surmounted by an eagle, opens from Vine street into a broad av­ enue bordered by mulberry trees and silver-leafed poplars. This road leads to the Polk homestead, a large brick honse, three stories high. The tomb is sur­ rounded by a grassplot, which is in- circled by a walk of white s^lls. Shrubs and flowers beautify the spot and make it look quiet and bright. TAYIIOR. The remains of Zachary Taylor have been moved three times. They repose now in a public spot at Frankfort, Ky. The body was first placed in a cemetery spirits. He has been educated privately and thoroughly, and, as to business ex­ perience, has traveled extensively with his father, both through this country and abroad, and has spent the last two years in his father's office.--New York Sun. • Sickness a Disgrace. All bodily ailments are more or less appeals for help ; nor can we doubt in what that help should consist. The more fully we understand the nature of any disease, the more clearly we see that the discovery of the cause means the discovery of the cure. Many sicknesses are caused by poisons, foisted upon the system under the name of tonic bever­ ages or remedial drugs; the only cure is to eschew the poison. Others, by habits more or less at variance with the health laws of nature. To cure such we have to reform our habits. There is nothing accidental, and rarely anything inevitable, about a disease; we can safely assume that nine out of ten com­ plaints have been caused and can be cured by the sufferers (or their nurses) themselves.

THOUSANDS of families have had occasion to try 7the never-failing qualities of Drf Boll's Coigh Syrup, and they all unite in praise of this wonderful prescription. Carrying Concealed Weapons. We hear of tragedies by the pistol almost daily, and the nnmber is by no means on the decline. This is scarcely surprising, however, if we reflect on the great army of citizens who habitually carry concealed weapons on their per­ sons. At a very low estimate, one per cent, of our city population regularly complete their toilet by the addition of a revolver. The estimate, which is be­ lieved to be considerably below the actual fact, gives us an armed forced of 12,000, equipped and ready, at a mo­ ment's notice, to take human life. Of this vast number, not more than three or four hundred, at the most, have the right or license to carry pistols, if we exoept the police. The majority of those holding lioenaes are either business men whose hours keep them out of doors late at night or private watchmen, bank messengers, etc. But what shall be said of the ten thousand unlicense pistol carriers, who, having no legitimate reason to show why they should be allowed to carry such weapons, yet do so in violation of law and as a menace npon the public peace and order. The bully or hothead who has a revolver concealed in his hip- pocket will court a quarrel where an un­ armed man, however brave, would dis­ creetly shun it The possession of fire­ arms is, in fact, a direct invitation to rowdyism, riot and very often murder,-- New York Star.

Whether we are happy in our work or not depends upon the way in which we do it. The man who goes to his task reluctantly, like a scourged slave, has no enjoyment in his labor. It is, to him, like a perpetual punishment. How slowly, to his eyes, the sun rises to its zenith! How slowly it sinks to the west­ ern horizon! With leaden feet the hours go by. And he dreads the morrow which is to be but a repition of the dreary to-day. His sluggish pulse does hardly beat. He seems but half alive. How different it is with the man who works with a will! Whatever he touches becomes at once interesting to him. He is absorbed in what he is abont, and he exclaims at night, "How short the day has seemed!' Not an hour has hung heavily on his hands.
