My ReSting-P Place.
BY GEORGE W. DEWEY.

When | am dead,
Place no stone above my breast,
But, rather, let my ashes rest
Beneath the aspen's shade,
For, like that tree, my spirit played,
BY pain or pleasure lightly swayed,
OFT varying from sun TO shade;
Then place no stone above my head,
.-fsf When | am dead. :
Perchance some friend, with pilgrim pace,
May wander 10 my resting place,
And read, from memories in the heart,
What no inscription could impart,
When | am dead!
Then place no stone above my head.
Oh, lay me where the buds shall bring
The earliest perfume of the spring.
Where violets shall watch and weep,
Through starry vigils, DER my sleep:
While, in the grave-yards dewey damp,
The glow-worm burns her funeral lamp,
Until the flowers, that sleep all night,
Take up the morning watch of light;
And, perching on the dropping limbs,
The birds come chanting early hymns;
Or, with a low, melodious tune,
Charm all the sultTy breath of noon
And, with the beauty Of their lays,
Make Joy throughout the sunless days:
Or when, within the twilight gray,
No football cheers the lonely way,
Beneath the singing aspen there,
The murmurs of the vesper air
May breathe, above the lowly spot,
The dirge by friends remembered not,
When | am dead
Then place no stone above my head,
But only let the aspen's shade
Beloken where my dust is laid,
When l am dead.

Who makes a blade Of grass to grow
Where there was none before,
Is greater far than the demi-god
Whose mantle drips with gore;
Then plant the spade in desert ground,
And make its treasure spring,
To bless the hand and home OF him
Whose greater than a king

THE HERO OF THE FRENCH REVOLU.

BRYANTowN, Apr;l, ls4s.

and which changed the fate of the empire.
was fred by Lagrange, the condemned con-
spirator of 1882, who by his own confes-
sion, finding that affairs were likely to take
a favorable turn for Royalty after all, de-
,ermined to risk this last step in order TO a.
rouse the angry passions of the people. In
suit we have seen. The Provisional Gov
ernment, although in dread of the wei!
known inoendiary principles of Lagrange,
felt compelled to nominate him to some pos,
Of eminence, and accordingly we beheld his
name figure away most ma jesticallv as Go
vernon of the Hotel de Vile for two days
At the end of lha, time he was displaced bv
another, and nothing farther has since been
heard of Lagrange, who, as creator and ia
ther Of the Revolution of 1913. had, OF
Course, attracted considerable attention al
first.
II appears that on the Monday following
the flight of Louis philippe grand council
was held Of all the reT o!uionary leaders as
sembed to dictate terms huis clos to the
Provisional Government. The wise and
calm demeanor Of Lamarine seems 10 have
lrri,a,ed IN no small degree the boiling. pas
sionate nature Of Lagrange, whose excite
ment was so fierce and terrible that several
members Of the Assembly prepared to with
draw in alarm. Lamar,ine alone bIenched
not, and the sang troid and seIf-possesson
displayed in hi, replies only served to in
crease the savage anger of his opponent all
the more. At length, exasperaled beyond
control, the infur!a'ed republican, drawing
a pistol from his pocket, rushed toward La
MARITIME, and eXclaimlng, Thou art no true
patrio,n pointed the weapon at the head OF
Hhe Minister. 'What hinders me from tax
ing thy life now-at oDce-upon the in

the calm glance of Lamartne met his eye

Minister, 'and the utter uselessness of such

remain my colleagues, who, all to a man,
have resolved to die rather than submit to
violence, or to return TO the senseless anar-

calming for an instant the fury of Lagrange,
he dropped the weapon which he held,
and turning pale as death, while his eye
quailed before the steady gaze Of Lamar,ine,
he mutlered between his teeth, Thou arl

and living death there on the 25'h of May,
1915.
The American vessel, which was to have
taken Napoleon to America was boarded
three times, by as many armed vessels and
twice by one. Suspicion appeared to have
been excited against her sometime before
her departure. and even before the Captain
had received any communication from Ma
poleon's Agent.
His vessel was pretty thoroughly search
ed upon all these occasions, and once gun
was fired for him to bear to second time.
He obeyed Of course, but our informant as
sures Us that in all these searches. the place
where he had designed to place Napoleon
was never once searched or suspected, and
that he should therefore have safely brought
him 10 the United States. Here he might
have died in peace of mind, or been living
among Us now. At ST. Helena TO use his
own words the cruelty Of his keeper, Sir
Hudson Lowe, caused his death. Napoleon
said Of Lowe that '.he was an execulioner
sent TO assassinate him, man, wholly with
out heart and merel Y cap4ble of di>charg-
ing the offices and duties of jallor."

PERIPATETIC PHILosoPHY.-ln walking
the street, the man who thinks of the future
looks upward-lhe man who thinks of the
past, downward. If he looks straight be-
fore him, he is occupied with the present
if he looks right and left, he thinks, poor
man, of nothing. If he cast lrequen, looks
behind him, lay j, down as an infalible
axiom, that he is thinking then of his cred-
tors. The man who walks 'eisurely, is re-
fleeing, medtating, calculating. The man
who pro- ec,s, moves rapidly; while he who
runs, Is foil Of some anticipated success in
money, ambition, or love.
The man "ad unguem factus," who ap-
pears to have just stepped out of a bandbox
who smooths his hat with his hand, dusts
his trowsers with cambria handkerchief,
and rubs down his coat SIX rt with his sleeve,

SPRING.

We welcome thy presence, Oh beautiful Spring,
We long for the rose thou hast promised to bring,
We've watch'd for thy coming, sweet goddess of
love,
And look'd for thy smile in the clear sky above;
We've sgh'd for the hour when the wood-bird would
sing,
And warble its praises to thee, welcome Spring 5
How all nature smiled as thy presence drew near,
Thou beautiful season-thou queen of the year;
How the voice of the bird in praise did arise,
As thy first blush tinted the earth and the skies.
The forest that now seems solemn and sad,
| Will soon in its verdure and sweetness be clad;
The axe of the woodman is heard DER the hill,
Where all was, so lately, so calm and so still;
The voice of the robin is heard in yon vale,
And the high-soarng lark responds to his tale,
Whilst the hedge-sparrow swes its own little throat
To add to the ballad 4 soul-stirrng note;
Ghe insect, all winter as still as is DEATH
Responds to the touch Of thy life-gving breath,
And creeps from its bed where so long it has lain
Lo! it moves-t feels that it has life again.
o. breathe thy soft breath on the ice of yon stream
Twill vanish-'twill melt like the forms in dream
Released from its chains like the wave of the sea,
Twill flow on triumphant, unfetter'd and free
Twill leap or in joy, like bird en- the wing,
And make the deep forest with music to ring.
Eouch with thy light finger yon snow-coverd plain
And verdurc and flowers shall there smile again;
But whisper one word with thy music-lke voice,
At its sweet sivry tones the world will rejoice
For o, Spring-lovely Spring, what form COM
With thine SO resplendent, SO bright and Gir'
What star is so bright as thy own beamng eye,
From whose glance the dark spirit of winter doth
A garland OF flowers is 'twined round thy brow,
NNhst thy cheek with the blush ofbeauty doth glow:
A mantle Of green DER thy bosom is spread,
A wreath of sweet purple encircles thy head
Could thy sweetness and beauty inspire my brain,
And call forth from my pen worthy strain
Of thy charms unsurpassed flin then would sing,
Thou queen of the seasons-thou beautiful Spring

REASON requires culture to expand it. 1t
resembles the fire concealed in the flint,
which only shows itself when struck with
the STEEL
We are all apt to undervalue common
truths, as if they we're commonplace tru-
isms, not thankfully acknowledging the
blessing, that the most precious truth is COM
mon, n,erwoven into the texture of thought,
and involved in the very logic of speech
But these truths were not always common
place; time has been when the best OF them
were regarded as romance, or paradox, or
heresy, or iargon-when the wise shook
their heads at them, because they ieIl and
feared them to be true.

W1SDFALL.-The origin Of this term is
said to be the following:
Some of the English nobility were for
hidden telling any Of the trees in their for
ests-,he timber being reserved for the use
Of the Royal Navy. Such trees as fell with
out cutting were the property of the occu-
pant. A tornado was therefore a perfect
Godsend, in every sense of the word, to
those vino had occupancy Of these extern
sive forests, and windfall was sometimes
of very great value. Some years since, II IS
said, a,,ornado threw down timbef enough
on the Duke Of Marlborough's estate 10 sell

TWO NOBLE HEARTED CHILDREN.

It's beautiful sight when children treat
each other with kindness and love as is re-
lated in the following story:
Last evening" says the narrator, took
supper with Lydia's father and mother
Before supper Lydia, her parents, and my
self, were sitting in the room together, and
her little brother Oliver was onl in the yard
drawing his Cart about. The mother went
out and brought in some peaches, few Of
which were large red-cheeked rare-ripe-
the rest small ordinary peaches. a.
The father handed me one the rare-ripes
gave one to the mother, and then one to his
little daughter who was eight years old.
He then took one of the smaller ones, and
gave it to Lydia, and told her to 60 and give
it to her brother. He was four years DID,
Lydia went out and was gone about ten
minutes, and then came in.
Did you give your brother the peach I
sent hlmn asked the father.
Lydia blushed and turned away, and did
not answer.
Did you give your brother the peach
sent him:' the father asked again, little
more sharply.
NO, father said she, q did not give him
that ,tp
What did you do with it = he asked.
! ate it, said Lydia.
Did you give your brother any?' asked
the father.
Yes, did, father said she. 'lgave him
mine.'
sWhy did you not give him the one I
told you to give?' asked the father, rather
sternly. ..'"
Because, father said Lydia,'I thought he
would like mine bel,er.'
But you ought not to disobey your IA
ther,' said he.
u did not mean to be disobedient, father
said she; and her bosom began to heave,
and her chin to qniver.
But you were my daughter,' said he.
q thought you would not be displeased
with me, father,' said Lydia, 'if ] did give
brother the largest peach;' and tears began
to roll down her cheeks.
'But wanted you TO have the largest
said the father.
Il wanted to give the best things to bro
.her,' said the noble girl.
why? = asked the father, scarcely able
to contain himself.
sBecause,' answered the dear generous
sister,''I love him so; | always feel best,
when he gets the best things -,
" ou are righ, my precious daughter,' said
the father, as he fondly. and proudly en-
braced her in his arms Y ou are right, and
you may be certain your happy father can
never be displeased with yon for wishing to
give up the best of everything to your afec-
tiona,e little brother. He is dear and no.
BILE hearted boy, and am glad you love
him. Do you think he loves you as we'll
as yoa do him? p
Yes, fa,her,' said the little girl, q think
he does; for when offered him the largest
peach he would not take it, and wanted me
to keep it, and it was good while before
could get him to take it,

There is perhaps no consideration which
more beautifully illustrates the benevolent
character of the angels of God, than their
rejoicing over the repentance Of one sinner,
or which more powerfully sets forth the in

indeed, the amazing condescension of The
Lord of Glory, in descending from the
throne of his sanctuary, ito seek and TO save

LAUGuTER.-"Laugh and grow fat,'' is an
old adage; and Sterne tells us that every
time man laughs he adds something to his
life. An eccentric philosopher Of the last
century used to say that he liked no, only
to laugh himself, but to see laughter and
hear laughter. Laughter is good for health;
it is provocative to the appetite, and a
friend to digestion. DR.. Sydenham said the
arrival of merry-audrew IN town was
more beneficial 10 the health of the inhabi-
tanls than twenty asses loaded with medi-
cine. Mr.. Pott, a celebrated surgeon, used
to say that he never saw the '.Tailor riding
to Brentlord" without feeling better for
week afterwards"
