THE FOOD OF MAN.--The Genessee Farmer
gives this brief summary of the native coun-
tries of our most familiar pianist ...
The potatoe is native ofSouth America; (;
and is still found wild in Chill, Pe:u and
Monte Video; in its native state, the root is
small and bitter. The first mention Of it by
European writer's, is in 1858. 1t is now
spread over the world. Wheat and rye orr
ginated in Tartary and Siberia, where they
are still indigenous. The only country
where the oat is found wild is in Abyssinia,
and thence may be considered native
Maize, or Indian corn, is native of Mexico,
and was unknown in Europe, until the dis
coveries of Columbus. The bread fruit
tree is native of the South Sea Islands,
particularly Otaheite. Tea is found native
nowhere except in China and Japan, from
which countries the world is supplied. The
cocoa nut is native of most equinoctial
countries, and is one of the most valuable
trees; as food, clothing and shelter are af-
forded by it. Coffee is native of Arabia
Felix, but is now spread in both the East
and West Indies. The best coffee is brought
from Mocha, in Arabia, whence about four
teen millions are annually exported. St.
Domingo furnishes from sixty to seventy
millions of lbs. yearly. All the varieties of
the apple are derived from the crab apple,
which is found in most parts of the world.
"The peach is a native of Persia, where
it still grows in native state, small, bitter,
and with poisonous qualities. Tobacco is a
native of Mexico and South America, and
lately one species has been found in New
Holland. Tobacco was first introduced into
England from North Carolina, in 1886, by
Walter Raleigh. Asparagus was brought
from Asia; cabbage and lettuce from Hol-
land; horse radish from Chill; rice from
Ethiopia; onions and garlic are natives ol
various places both in Asia and Africa. The
sugar cane is native of China, and from
thence is derived the art of making sugar
from it."

WHEN GOODNESS WRAPS THIS SUFFER
ING CLAY.


FROM BYRoN's HEBREW MELODIES.
When GOODNESS wraps this suffering clay,
All, whittier strays the immortal mind!
1t cannot die, it cannot stay,
But leaves its darkened dust behind.
Then, unembodied, doth it trace
By steps each planets heavenly way!
Or fill at once the realms of space,
A thing of eyes that all survey?
Eternal, boundless, undecayed,
A thought unseen, but seeing all,
All, all in earth, Or skies displayed,
Shall it survey, shall it recall:
Each fainter trace that memory holds
So darkly of departed years,
In one broad glance the soul bcholds,
And all, that was, at once appears.
Before creation poopled earth,
Its eye shall roll through chaos back.
And where the furth est heaven had birth,
The spirit trace its rising track.
And where the future mars or makes,
Its glance dlate o'er all to be,
While sun is quenched or system breaks,
Fix'd in its own eternity.
Above, or Love, Hope, Hate or Fear,
1t lives all passionless ana pure:
An age shall fleet like earthly year;
Its years as moments shall endure.
Away, away, without wing,
O'er all, through all, its thoughts shall fly;
A nameless and eternal thing,
Forgetting what it was to die.

pose, for an instant that would accept il at
such price, | cannot forget that when we
were on the eve of perishing, my husband, by
his physical and mental sufferngs in Austria,
and Iby the tyranny ofRobespierrci in France,l
was not allowed to receive any communication
from, him, nor to inform him in return that
his wife and children we're in existence; and
| will never, of my own free will, expose
myself to the agony of separation from him

vorable to my health, we will gladly avail

in allowing us TO remain here, and will never
trouble him with any more petitions"
From that :ime Madame de Lafayette
made no further efforts, but bore her suffer
ings firmly and patiently until the victories of
the French Republic, changed the aspect of
affairs. General Lafayette was restored to
freedom, and with his devoted wife returned
to his native country, and fixed his residence
at La GIange-the maternal inheritance of
his wife-an estate situated about twelve
leagues from Paris. Here Madame de La
fayette spent the remainder of her short life
in the bosom other family, and in the prac-
tice of every Christian virtue. But the poi
soned arrow of grief and anxiety had drank
her life blood, and after many lingering
months of suffering, this humble christian,
this affectionate mother and heroic wife clio.
sed her pure and exemplary life on the 24th
December, 1906. Posterity has covered the
name of General Lafayette with glory, but
surely the patient endurance, and selfsacrif.
cling devotion of his noble wife, deserves an
equal need of praise.

The steamboat and the steam car have not

their long ages of mental, moral and physical
degradation and despair, the Russian Sert
has capacity which shows that he is still OF
the white race. Though stupid, he can
learn. Travellers say that he is remarkably
ingenious in manufactures, though too versa
tile in character 10 compete with the more
steady industry of the English and Germans.
He makes a superior soldier, for his courage
and nerve are as undaunted as the iron which
he is welding. His endurance of heat and
cold, his blind obedience, his abstemousness
of living, when necessary, show character
encrusted with the darkness Of despotism, but
still as worthy and fit TO be freemen, as the
masters who lord it over him so cruelty. Ii
has been supposed that in our day we should
live to see the enfranchisement of the serts
of the Russian empire. We fear this will
not be, The dawning even is not visible.
The Russian Autocrat is too deeply inter
ested in lis continuance to induce him TO
adopt any but palliative measures. lie will
not strike at the root, by enfranchisng the
serfs OH the imperial domain. Not only the
large, but increasing number on his estates,
| is calculated to harden and strengthen the
natural passions of avarice and personal pow
er, This very increase also binds still tighter
the sinews of his monarchy, and thus fosters
both the strong passions of personal and poll
tcal ambition. AS able, statesman-like and
benevolent as Nicholas is said to be, it would
require virtue, almost more than mortal, to
induce him voluntarily to divest himself of a
power which renders him so terribly great,
not only in his own empire, but throughout
the world.-Albany Argus.

GENERAL. IJACKsoN.a5oa y
From the Philadelphia Daily Keystone. :


' A widow lady in rather straiiened circupr
stances, had been keeping boarding house
for some years in that city, and during the
general prostration ofaetve business, growing
out the currency arrangements ofthat dale
had got in arrears, and to pay some OF her
urgent debts, sent such of her furniture as
she could possibly spare, to auction. The
purchaser was a clerk in one Of the govern,
ment offices; one of those public loafcfs of.
which there has always beenito many at
Washington and elsewhere, who run in debt
as far as they can obtain credit, and witllott
ever intending 10 pay The lady called on
the auctioneer, a respectable man named
Mauro, we believe. He called on the official,
who proposed to pay as soon as his months
salary was due. The month rolled round,
and June succeeded March, and September
June, without payment being made, to the
great distress of the widow and uneasiness Of
iheEauctioneer. And after further apphca-
ton, the office -holders refused absolutely to
do anything, alleging it out of his power TO
pay. The sum was loo large for the auc-
ioneer to spare out of his own pocket, or he
would have paid it himself, SO deep did he
feel for the poor creditor. In this perplexity,
he concluded 10 call upon the President and
state the case, hoping he would suggest
some relief He writed, therefore, on Gen
eral Jackson with his narrative. 0tso18 ibu

The auctioneer asked P for his
note. "What do you want with the note;

remarked the debtor, adding, however, as he
sat down to write "there it isl Mauro
returned to the President, handing him the
note, who without saying word, sat down
and wrote on the back Of the paper Andrew
Jackson" "Now said the General, '"show
Mr.. P the endorsement, and Rhe don't
pay you, let me know it." The first man
Mauro met as he entered Gadsby's Hotel
was P" "Ah!' said he, " have you passed
the note?" "Not yet" said the other, "but
expect to, for have got a first rate endorser

turned pale, begged the auctioneer to wait

paid over to the widow that day, to the graft

the subject lor years, but finally on remark
being made in his presence, that General
Jackson did not endorse for any bodyawhat-

neral had endorsed once for him, and pro-
duced as evidence the note, to the surprise
