Tho house io which Davis lived while here at Transylvania is still standing st the corner of South Linestone and High streets. Several pretty stories all told in connection with the prestige which the placi afteiwards obtained on account of Davis' residence there. One is that a Mississippi boy, the son of a rich planter, was induced to trade the room which he had furnished luxuriously for the leas comfortable quarters of another boy, through a dick depending on the venera tion iu which the name of Davis was beld. Tho poorer boy found the stripa of wall paper falling away and under one pieoe he wrote the name of Jefferson Davia. "Tom," he said to the wealthier school mate across the hall. "I am in the room Jefferson Davis used to occupy. His name was written oo the wall before it was papered." "My people would be delighted if they knew I had Jefferson Davis' old room.

Tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied her raven ringlets in; But not alone in the silken snare Did she catch her lovely floating hair, For, tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied a young man's heart within. They were strolling together up the hill, Where the wind came blowing merry and chill; And blnw the curls a frolicsome race, All over the happy peach-colored face; Till scolding and laughing, she tied them in, Under her beautiful, dimpled chin. And it blew a color, bright as the bloom Of the pinkest fuchia's tossing plume, All over the cheek of the prettiest girl That ever imprisoned a romping curl, Or, in tying her bonnet under her chin Tied a young man's heart within. Steeper and steeper grew the hill, Madder, merrier, chillier still, The western wind blew down and played The wildest tricks with the little maid, As tying her bonnet under her chin, She tied a young man's heart within. O, western wind, do you think it wa fair To play such tricks with her floating hair? To gladly, gleefully, do your best To blow her against the young man's breast, Where he has gladly folded her in And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin? 0, Ellery Vane, you little thought An hour ago, when you besought This country lass to walk with you, After the sun had dried the dew, What terrible danger you'd be in, As she tied her bonnet under chin. &$m GRANTEE THY PEACE. hk KI.1ZABKTR CHANNEL.

If those I trust deny me, or betray, Till sorrow s chalice holds but bitter lees; If hopes, long cherished, fail me by the way, Grant me Thy peace ! If joys bidfr fair to be ray welcome guest Lest I forget oh. leave me not alone; But let my happy heart have added zest; Grant me Thy peace ! That peace which passeth understanding give. A peace which deadens pain when hope nath flown In joy, in grief, whether I die or live, Grant me Thy peacel him, but the poet, with a sardonic smile, assured Rhodes that he could not think of exalting himself above, s.i mighty an imperialist, sod so the bulky statesman had to c'i'iib Uborinusly to bed. After midnight the train s'npped at a small station on the desolate karroo and the wife of a colonial i fficur got abnsrd. When she discovered that, notwithstand ing her telegram, no reservation had been made for her she lifted up her voire in leud protest, Tbe commotion swakened Rhodes, who thruat his head out be tween tbo curtains aud demanded '0 koow the cause of the disturbance. "I am the wife of Col ," she ex claimed, "and although I wired for s berth, none has been saved for me." "That's all riihi," thun iered the co lossus, "my little boy is occupying the berth just uuder mine; turn io there with him." The lady was appeased and proceeded to take advantage of the offer. Pres ently there was an insurrection in the lower berth. 'Now, don't ery and make a fuss," I the lady wss hesrd to ssy, "your father told me I might sleep here." "Madam," gasped tbe author of "Tbe Jungle Book," "do you know who I am?" "Yon are the little sod of the gentle man io the upper berth, are you Did?'' altered tbe now startled woman, peering into the dark compartment. "Nothing of the sort, rosred the poet, I am Mr. Rudyard " Before he could oontess lurtner tnr frightened woman fled to another car The upper berth shook with eonvulsive arnnciaiioo as the poet, with a miugled vocabulary of several tongues, the South Alnoao statesman.
