The EMPEROR OF RUssn-The " Y.
Mirror chronicles the following story of the
Emperor of Russia:
ga friend of ours, who has just returned
from the East, thinks war is inevitable. He
says the Gear is only waiting for the marsh
es Of the Danube TO freeze, when, if the Sui
tan does not yield TO all his demands, the
Russian troops will sweep all before them;
and within six days from the first conflict, OBJ
tain possession of Constantinople. Our
friend was recently present at a review Of
l60, 900 Russian troops by the Emperor,
whom he describes as a perfect specimen of
the physical man. In height six feet three.
and admirably proporiioned, with snow-white
hair and ruddy countenance. He was plain
Iy dressed. in dark green frock, with black
chapeau without feathers; and mounted on a
coal-black charger, of immense size, the
Car looked " every inch King"
AS the troops were passing before him, he
suddenly raised his hand as signal for
halt; when he dismounted, walked up to
private in the ranks, and asked him to unbut-
ton his coat. On finding that the soldier was
without shirt, the Emperor promptly order
ed the officers of the company to Siberia,
and the officers of the regiment were Instant
ly degraded to the rank Of privates. Some
two hours afterwards, Nicholas made another
inspection ofthe condition of the soldiers, and
finding all right, promoted every officer in
the division, comforting the orders with his
own hand. 1t is this kind of discipline which
makes the Russian army the most efficient in
the world, and the head Of it the idol of the.
common soldier"

The Temple Mt Memphis.

A Parable from the German of Krummachsr.
While Pythasoras. the wise man of fGamos,
was tarrying in Egypt TO obtain wisdom at ITS
ancient sacred fountains, priest led him TO
the temple at Memphis. Still and vast as
mass Of mountains lay the wondrous struc-
ture in the gloom of early morning. '.How,"
asked the Greek, full of wonder, " how have
human hands erected these piles Of rock'"
limited force" answered the priest, ''can
overcome everything, when one spirit guides
it." Now they passed the mighty doors Of
the temple, like the doors of the realm of sha-
dows They wandered on. and stood in si-
lence between the lofty pillars, while the air
sighed through the measureless halls as the
voice of spirits Then shudder seized the
young wise man of Gamos, and trembling he
leaned against the wall and wept. The priest
approached him and said, "At what weepest
thou." Pyihagoras was silent, but soon az
ter answered, ''Ah! do not feel myself here
in the most fearful neighborhood to that Be-
ing whose name | may not venture TO utters"
Then" said the priest, Sc blessed art thou
my son. in thy humility! 1t brings thee near
er 10 that Invisible to whom this sanctuary
was erected But now leave the solemn
form of the mute building. and turn back to
speaking man. Bethink thyself that this tenn
ple was in a human breast, ere il arose out
Of the rock. Dry thy tears and move on IN
cheerfu!ness.

and devour the leaves, and nally to work
destruction to all our shade trees. Every

from trees on his grounds, for his own

These destructive vermins may be easi-

all off. They look like dead leaves onthe

Cultivation Of ShrubberV.

The most striking peculiarly of the
great West to a traveller who visits it fol
the first time, is the absence of ornamen-
tai shrubbery there. As general rule
even the wealthiest householders compar.
atively neglect ills cultivation, while per.
sons of ordinary means pay no attention
to it whatever. Nor is this TO be wonder.
ed at. During the first settlement of a
country, utility absorbs the picturesque
entirely. Unfortun ately, also, the prac-
tice, at first adopted from necessity. has
finally become perpetuated by habit. II
will take more than one generation to rem
der taste for shrubbery general in the
United States Even in the Atlantic States
there is less attention paid to this species
of ornament than hight be expected.
Shrubbery should be cultivated, not only
for its beauty, but for other reasons. "The
planting Of shrubs and the general oper-
ations of horticulture.' observes late
writer, .'tend 10 increase the number o.
BIRDS OF the truth Of this. no one who
has had experience in such matters can
entertain doubt tits in trees and shrubs
that birds harbor. Itis on them and around
them that birds find the insects which they
devour. Mr.. Thompson, in his work on
the birds of Ireland, has given a beautiful
description Of the manner in which, on a
piece of marshy ground near Belfast be.
ing brought under cultivation. the birds
1ocked to it. till the fields were alive with
vocal music. Many a desolate looking
country -house might become surrounded
by the same life and beauty. merely through
the introduction Of shubbery. Many a
town dwelling, though with but the scan
tiest bit Of garden ground behind 1t, may
be rendered the home, as it were, of innu.
merable birds, by similar process.
In cultivating shrubbery, however. care
should be taken that il is not placed too
near the house. which, in that case, be-
comes damp and unhealthy. The sun
should never be shut out from dwelling
free circulation Of air is necessary.

Increase in number. ........ 482,425
Thus, very large Increase is shown in
ihe business OF this year over that OF last;
but this excess is reduced somewhat by
the falling off in weight The average
decrease in weight is shown, by careful
estimates and computations. to be about
ten pounds TO the hog. or five per cent.
This decrease, on the aggregate number
of hogs given above. is equal 10 100000
head; and the excess is. therefore. reduced
to 382 425. L,s; year S crop is estimated
to have averaged 908 pounds, and this
years, 1913 pounds to the hog. The eX-
cess in pounds of this years crop over
last is thus shown to be 10 sos $50 pounds.
This shows an increase OF twenty four per
cent over last year, when the crop was six
per cent deficient. as compared with that
Of l85O-'5l. The increase of the crop
this year has proved much greater than
was anticipated. This excess is account
ed for in the fact that the farmers have sold
off their hogs much closer than usual this
season, owing to the extraordinary high
prices that prevailed.
The average price of hogs in the Gin.
cinnati market this year. was S6 81 J; in
185l-''52. it was s4 TOY; in 1850 81. "a,
Oo5; in I849- so. $2.9l. This steady
and ra pid advance in prices must be high.

of their pork. The golden harvest tha
industry may gather from the wide anC
rich valleys of tue West. is not less abun
dant. and is more certain. than that whicl
is yielded to toiers in California or Aus
tralia. The yellow maize that fourishes
in such luxurance in the deep soil of ou
river bottoms is almost real gold dust-the
hog is the aleu.bic in which ii is converted
to solid ingots. and given the "guinet
stamp" The Miami. therefore, flows
through as rich gold fields as the Sacra
mento.
The hog crop Of this year, in the West

on the above facts, has sold for more thar
