The Moniteur's Peace Article.

The following is an extract ot the Paris Moniteur's 5 second peace article fa3
 Part of Germany now presents an ap- pearance both aflcting and astonishing. France has occupied herself with the con sideraiion of the alarming state ot affairs
 In Italy, merely to allay 1t, in concert with the allies, and in tine interest of Euro pean tranquility. It IS impossible to show more sincere desire to unravel peacefully the existing difficulties, and to prevent further complications, which are always the result of want of foresight and decision. The mistrust of Il part of Ger many springs from reflections unjust and painful 10 France, and shows contempt for tue independence of her policy. The ex-
 stence of d great nation like France is not restricted to her frontiers, but manifests itself in the world at large by salulary acts. France uses her endeavors for the benefit of her national power and the ad- vantage of civilization. When nation relinquishes this character, she relinquish- es her rank. To contest her right to this legitimate influence would be to mistake the rights of France The Emperor un- derstood how to overcome all lprejudices when he ascended the throne.
 Wha, would have happened if, by act ing otherwise, he had rejected with dis
 trust the servants of former dynasty and
 if, instead of establishing the tranquility of Europe on a lirner footing, he had shaken It by redeeming at the price of European security and independence the recolIeclions of 1874 and lSl52 Such however, he has not done. The Empe- TOT does not hold the whole of Germany responsible for the errors and malevolence of certain manifestations which spring rather from mean resentment than from serious fears. Germany has nothing to anticipate from us for her independence. We sympalhize with her nationality. By showing herself impartial she will show herself foreslghted, and will do better ser vice to the cause of peace. a5
 Prussia understood thls line of policy when she united herself with England, i, in order 10 promulgate wise counsels at Vienna, al q time when agitators were en- Ideavoring to arouse angry passions, and to form coalition among the States of the German Confederation against us. The attitude of Pfussia is certainly more advantageous to Germany than the ex- isment of those who, appealing to the malice and prejudice of 1913, expose themselves to the risk of irritating nation el feeling ln France. The French peo- pie are susceptible in regard to its honor, but at the same time moderate in the em- ployment of its strength If threats will arouse it, 1t may nevertheless be prepar- ed by conciliation.

Farmer Heath,s Extra -


The old farm house wore quiet, pleas
ant look, as the setting sun gilded its
small windows, over which the luxuriant
grape-vines were carefully trained. In
the open door sat the former, with little
morocco covered book in his hand, on
which his attention had been fixed for the
last hour He was a man of method and
order-old Richard Heath -and aside
from his regular account books, which he
always kept with scrupulous care, he al
ways set down in his little book, in the
simplest manner possible, all his expenses,
Ono very complicated amount by the way,
and all he had received during the year,
in the metal as he said, not by the way of
trade.
The last account he had just reckoned
up, and the result was highly satisfactory,
if one might judge from the pleasant ex-
preston of his face as he turned to his
wife and addressed her by her pretty, old
fashioned name.
Millicent," said he, this has been q
lucky year How little we thought when
we moved to this place, twenty-five years
ago, that we should ever get five hundred
dollars year out of the rocky, barren
farm"
"It does pay for a good deal of hard
work" she said, "to see how different
things look now from what they did then. D
Now, [ am going to figure up how
much we have spent" said Mr.. Heath
don't make noise with your knitting
needles, cause it puts me out"
The wife laid by her knitting in per
feet good humor, and gazed over the broaC
rich fields of waving grain which grew
so tall around the laden apple trees, thai
they looked like massive piles Of foliage
Hearing her own name kindly spoken lee
her own thoughts far back, to the past
for after the lapse oftwenty-fve years the
simple sound of the name she bore in he
youth means more, to a wife, than all th'
pleasing epithets of dearest and darling
so lavishly offered in a long past court
ship.
Very pleasant was the retrospect to Mil
hcent Heath. The picture of the pas
had on it some rough places, and some
hard trials, but no domestic strife or dis
content marred its sunny aspect. Ther'
were faces on it-happy children's faces
without which no life is beautiful Sof
blue eyes shone with unclouded gladness
and wayy hair foated carelessly over un
written forehcads. She forgot for mo
ment, how they were changed, almos
fancied herself again the young mother
and tiny hands stole lovingly over her bos
ON, and young heads nestled there as o
old,
The illusion vanished quickly, and sh'
sighed she thought of her youngest born
the reckless boy who had left her three
years before for home on the sea. Once
only had tidings reached her of the wan
derer. The letter spoke of hardships ant
home sickness in that light and careles,
way that reached the mothers heart more
Isurely than rcpinlng and complaint. II

Letter from Al Lady TO her HUS-
band. a

The following letter from a gifted lady
now abroad, conveys lesson that should
oe pondered =
"Xy Dear Husband-Greatly to liz,
surprise and pleasure, the postman brought
me another letter this morning. The
reason your last did not reach me as soon
as it should have done, was that the car
riers are dull about name they are not
familiar with. You remember speaking
of giving dinner to your friends at the
Astor House on your return home but
to have one given to you was tenfold more
gratifying. The attentions that are eve
rywhere shown to you. coming as they do
from respect to your virtuous life, your
correct principles, and your honesty Of
heart and integrity of purpose, are far
more precious to me than would be tho
crown of an emperor. Money | prize for
the sake of the power it gives; but |
could enjoy it only when gained in an
honorable manner. TO be right is bet
ter than to be President, was the motto
of one who was an honor to his country.
There is no great merit in doing well,
but not to do well is a misfortune. To
be the wife of a man who is respected for
his talents and loved for his virtues, is
the summit of happiness for me. You
know from the time was married my
ambition was all for you. A woman
seldom rises above or falls below the po-
sition her husband gives her."

A FAITHFUL PICTURE.-The follow
ing, which we find in an exchange is a
faithfully drawn outline of distillery his
tory; yet it is incomplete in details:
"What if the history of distillery
could be written out-so much rum for
medicine of real value; so much for ART
of real value. That would be one drop,
[ suppose, taken out and shaken from the
distillery. Then, so much rum sold to
the Indians, to excite them to scalp one
another; So much sent to the Africana,
to be changed into slaves to rot in Cuba
or Brazil; so much sent to the heathens
in Asia, and to the islands of the ocean;
and so much used at home. Then, ifthe
tale of every drop could be written out
so much diminution of productive power
in man; SO many houses burnt, ships
foundered, and railway trains dashed to
pieces SO many widows made doubly wild
ows because their husbands yet live; SO
many orphans-their fathers yet living,
long dying on the earth-what tale it
could be! Imagine that all the persons
who had suffered from torments engcn-
dered on that plague spot came together
and sat- on the ridge-pole and roof, and
filed up the large hall of that distillery,
and occupied the streets and lanes all
about it, and with their tales of drunken
ness, robbery, unchastity, murder, writ
ten on their faces and foreheads-what a
story II w Md he I"

A SULTRY SUMNER EVE.
BY DIR. JOHN M'INTosH.
Stretched, listless, in the evening sun,
The cat purs half asleep,
While DER her glossy silken coat,
The shadows slowly creep.
The vines hang drowsy on the heights !;
The grain mods on the lea;
And, rowing upon lazy wing,
Skins by, the droning bee.
O'er-hanging me, a rosebush swings,
A rosebush rich in bloom
The lounging zephyrs loiter round,
Amid the rich perfume.
Behind the trellis, gentle JEN,
My wife, her needle plies,
A-watching as she does, the while,
Our baby's slumbering eyes
Who, rosy, fat, luxprious rogue,
In milky dreams lies bleSt;
Just mark his pouting restless lips,
Il rosebud IN unrest.
JEN never looked so sweet before
God bless thee, gentle JFN;
| sit here by my cottage door,
The happiest of men.
