"UNDER THE RosE.'- \ floating para.

"UNDER THE Rose = \ floating para
graph explains the origin Of this expresslon:l |
The term. under the rose, implies secrecy,
and had its origin during the year B CAT,
at which time Pausanias, the commander of
the confederate fleet, was engaged in an in
trigue with 1erxes, for the marriage of his
daughter and subjugation Of Greece to the
Medean rule. Their negotiations were car
ried on in building attached to the Tenn
pie of Minerva, called the Brazen House,
the roof Of which was a garden forming a
bower Of roses; SO that the plot, which was
conducted with the utmost secrecy, was lit
orally matured under The rose 1t was dis
covered, however, by slave, and as the san
city of the place forbade the Athenians to
force Pausanas out, or kill him there, they
finally walled him in, and left him to die Of
starvation. 1t finally grew to be a custom
among the Athenians to wear roses in their
hair whenever they wished TO communicate
to another a secret which they wished to be
kept inviolate. Hence the saying, su5 rosa
among them, and now among almost all
Christian nations

"Cold, naked ill-fed,

The Boys Dream.

Once as a child sat, on a summers even
ing, under shady tree, he fell asleep, and
he dreamed that three bright and beautiful
angels stood over him. And while he won
dered at the sight, one Of them spoke to an
other and said:
Il have brought this garment of pure
white and this white lily that will never fade,
to bestow upon him that is spotless and
good" And the boy saw that on the angels
forehead was written his name It was ''In-
nocence" Then the other angel spoke in
reply: Look in this glass which hold in
my hand, and you will see the picture of this
sleeping chili's life to-day. See how he has
been disobedent, thoughtless and passionate,
anl has forgotten God and his prayers. I
too would have given him this basket of
precious Jewels, but [ cannot be,tov them on
such a one.'' Then the boy read the name
on her forehead. 1t was "Hemory" Then
spoke the third angel: Il too would have
given this golden crown if he had been true
and good" And her name the child read
it was 'Hope." Then the sleeper trem-
bled, when he remembered how he had spent
a wicked and thougbtless day. And the
angels bent their bright eyes upon him, and
Hope said. "We viii meet here again in a
year from this night" Then they suddenly
vanished, and the sleeping boy awoke.
Very sadly he thought of his dream
But he resolved to live from that time bet
ter life. And every night he went and sat
on the same green bank, and called up all
he had done dleing the day, and repented
when he remembered he had done wrong.
Winter came, and he could no longer 90 to
the shady bank. But as soon as the ground
WAS bare, and the violet blossomed, he would
50 again at evening and cit under the tree.
And SO the year came round, and he again
fell asleep there On a summers night. And
in his dream the three angels came and
smiled on him.
Now said Memory, II can give him
the box of jewels-the precious gems of viz
tue, and the recollection Of good deeds, of
kind and pure words and happy thoughts,
better than all the wealth in the world -
"And [, - said Innocence. will give him
now the lily that never fades-the spirit OF
cheerful gladness, and the white robe Of
purity, such as the angels wear 'And I, -
said Hope, ''have brought for him, now, the
golden crown"
Then the sleeping child thought he be-
held himselfly there, with a golden crown
on his head, and he was clad in the white
robe of Innocence, and the jewels of Memo
~, and in the sky above him he heard the
sound of music; and, looking up, he saw
many bright ones with harps in their hands.
The stars rose in the sky, and the moon shed
its light on the child's face, and he slept on.
And they found him in the morning, a sweet
smile on his lips as though he were in a
pleasant dream. But his eyes never opened
on this world again. His spirit was not
there. That, had gene up with the angels.
