THE TEACHERS REWARD.
BY JENNIE eILLxER.

She rested alone in an arbor's shade
Ola beautiful summers eve:
And her brow was marked with troubling earei
Of theWorid she was soon to leave;
For therose that lay on her pAllid cheek.
And the light Of her hazel eye.
Told palmer than language ofwords could speak
That the teacher must shortly die

And my life hath been Fainly sold
In striving to lead the wandering ones
To their home in the Sayior's fold;
Like the false mirage in the deserts track
Are laurels they say have won.
While the bitter SCOTS Of unfrieudIy tongues,
Grief-droDs from my spirit have Wrung.
There was one with beautiful, kingly brow
And q spirit for right to dare:
As he needed our words we fondly thought
This. this Is 6 nations own star;
Bat the star has set. that talen ted boy
By the hand Of justice is dead;
And another we loved for modest worth.
Has the pathway Of virtue fed"
Thus, gathering up the dregs Of the past,
The teacher bowed sadly and WepE
Till piEion Of peace her pale cheek fam cd
And in quiet at last she slept;
Then an angel came with guardian care
And the portal Of visions oped;
And the vale grew bright, for its changing cen e
We're set with the gifdings Of hope.
Sweet voices arsse on the ether air;
In India glad tidings Of JOY"

And she moved Ger the battle plain.

Then broken was reasons faint tide;

when and Where the Stars
and Stripes Were First Dis
played.

Captain G.. II. Preble, of the United
States Navy, says the New York Ma
ton, is collecting material for history
of the American flag, and has succeed
ed, he says, in getting togethera good
deal of anecdote, incident, and evi-
dences concerning its origin, its trans
migration, and its first appearance in
various parts of the world. he informs
the HiSoric1L Magazine, that he has low
no doubt that the stars and stripes
were first displayed on the Thames, by
the ship Bedford. of Nantucket. The
Bedford was whaler which left Nan
tucket under pass from Admiral Dig
by, and arrived out on the Sd of Feb
ruary, 1888, twelve days before procla-
nation of peace was made, and only
week after the London newspapers had
got hold of the termsot the treaty In
the London Political Magazine of Pebru :.
airy 7th, of the year above mentioned is
passage which reads As follows:
"THE THIRTEEN STRIPES ARE IN THE
RIVER. Mr.. Hsmmet begged leaEe to
inform the House of 7ery recent and
extraordinary event. There was he
said at the tims.ke ,Oas speaking, an Amer
lean ship in the Thames, with the thir-
teen stripes flying on board. This ship
had offered to enter al the custom
house. but the officers were at loss
how to behave. His motive for men
tioning the subject was that ministers
might take such steps with the Ameri.
can Commissioners as would secure free
intercourse between this country and
America"
1t is a curious fact that the Marie, a
vessel that has been named by some
writers as a contestant for the honor
due the Bedford, a1d which GER
tainly was in the Thames in the course
of the year 1873, Is stin aaoat and in
use. The Confederate States cruisers
forced the old ship to take refuge un-
der the Chilian flag, and she now sails
from Tslcahuans as q Thaler. But the
first display of the thirteen stripes in
Eusland was not from the masthead
of a vessel. When the king, on the
5th of December, 17S2, in his speech
from the throne, recognized the exist
ence of the United States as a nation,
Mr.. Copley the painter, who was among
his hearers, went home and put the
new ensign into the background of a
portrait-that of Ekanah Watson
which was upon his easel at the time.
He had kept the background unfnish-
ed, reserYing it as place 'to repre-
sent a ship bearing TO America the in
telligence of the acknowledgement of
American Independence with the rising
sun of the new born nation streaming
from her gaff." r'-1r

What is NOT CharItr.

1t is not charity to give q penny to
the street mendicant, OF whom nothing
is known, while we hsggle with poor
man out of employment for misera-
ble dime. 1t is not charity to beat
down q seamstress to a starvation price;
to let her sit in her wet clothes sewing
all day Z; to deduct from her pitiful re,
muneration if the storm delays her
prompt arrival. 1t is not charity to
take poor relative into your family
and make her slave to all your whims,
and taunt her continually with her de-
pendent situation. 1t is not charity
to turn a man who is out of work into
the streets with his family because he
cannot pay his rent. It is not charity
to exact. the utmost farthing from the
widow and orphan. 1t is not charity
to give with a supercilious air and pat.
ronage, as if God had made you, the
rich man, of different blood from the
shivering recipient, whose only crime
is that he is poor. 1t is not charity to
be an extortioner-not though you be-
stow your aims by thousands.

A SAD SToRr.-The sadest story that
we ever read was that of child in
Switzerland, q pet boy-just as yours
is dear reader-when his mother. one
bright morning, rigged out beautiful
jacket all shining with silk and but
tons, and gay as mothers love could
make it, and then permitted him to 90
out and play. He had scarcely stepped
from the door of the Swiss cottage
when an enormous eagle swooped him
from the ground and bore him to its
nest, high up among the mountains
and yet within sight Of the house of
which he had been the Joy. There he
was killed and deVoured, the eyerie
being at a point which was literally
inaccessible to man, so that no relief
could be afforded. In tearing the
child to pieces, the eagle so placed the
gray Jacket in the nest that it become
fixture there, and whenever the wind
blew it would fatter, and the sun
would shine on its lovely trimmings.
For years it was visible from the low
lands, long after the eagle had aban-
doned her nest. What sight it must
have been for the parents of the little

Freaks of RnIIet

Despite the vast army of men who
have been wounded BY the bullet, but
not killed, the case of young Prince
Alfred, who was shot the other day by
q Fenian in Australia, is so singular
that it deserves special mention. The
ball, according to the Medical Press
and CIeaIar. entered the back half an
inch from the spine, and if it had
taken the course, which in nine hun.
dred and ninety nine cases out Of 3
thousand it would have taken. itcould
not have avoided piercing the heart,
lung, diaphragm and intestines, as il
started in downward direction. But
it seems to have struck a rib-the
ninth-glanced off and traversed q
distance of twelve and a half inches
on the outside of the rib, lodging
finally under the skin of the abdomen.
This is a very remarkable instance OF
the curious freaks of bullets, and;
considering the popularity and fine
character of the Prince, together with
the unpopularity and bad habits of his
oldest brother, may beaone involving
most important circumstances hereaf-

GRAND and RnfIer.

The friends Of General Butler have
for long time been trying to bring
him back to friendly relations With
General Grant. One delegation made
an effort four months ago, but accom-
plished nothing, though General Grant
said to them that if there was . quarrel
it was not on his side; that he had no
hostility to Butler. Another delega-
tion took up the matter two months
ago, and was equally unsuccessful,
though Senator Wilson was one Of the
persons interested. George Wilkes f.
nally engaged himself with the ques-
tion, and seems to have helped Batter
out of his difficulty. He talked with
Butler and his friends, and after hear
ing their grievances, had a talk with
General Grant. Itappears that Butler
was much incensed at Grant for remoy-
ing him from the command of the ar
my of the Jamesjust before the end OF
the war, and that when Grant during
the first winter of his residence here
sent ont the Invitations to his hRst
grand party, ,9Butler conceived that the
sending Of one to him was intended
as an insult, whereupon he returned it
in short order, since which time he has
had no intercourse with Grant except
of formal and official character. The
adjustment of the situation was made
by one letter from Wilkes to Butler,
one from Butler to Wilkes. and from
Wilkes to Grant, aud finally s note of
ten or twelve lines. from Grant to
Wilkes. 1t is understood that Butler
voluntarily withdrew his rejection of
Grants party invitation on the state
ment from Wilkes that Grant said TO
him that he had not the least inten-
tion to insult Butler in sending it, and
was much surprised at its return.
Grant further said verbally that he
meant no personal disrespect to Butler
in,the language of his report at the close
of the war, That phrase about being
"bottled up" was common in the army
at that time, and vas used to express
military fact. Butler responds 70
Wilkes that he does not so much OBJ
ject to those words as to the general
tenor Of Grants report, which he con-
siders as unfair to him. Grants note
says he is willing to consider Buffers
return of his card as Withdrawn, and
that while he cannot open matters
about his report in which he lad no
intention of Wronging any one, he is
willing Butler should ask for acourt of
inquiry, if he chooses. The correspond
ence was brought to a conclusion with
this note last evening. and IS stated to
be satisfactory to Buffers friends.

A New York letter presents the
folloging entertaining picture of Broad
way: There are more japanese
costumes in Broadway than you can
shake stick at, unless you are very
skIllful in this manly recreation. With
black hair high in the air, little patch
es of green or white Just over the
bump of Veneration, broad ribbons
floating from behind and before,
dresses built in the Yokohzma style,
the parasol held pretty much as the
idiotic 'supes' in the theater hold their
wooden swords at the present. the
women sail up and down the shady
side of the popular thoroughfare, a
never failing source of wonder to their
country cousins, and of most unmiti-
gated contempt to each other, The
scornful look, the impudent brazen
look, with which every woman regards
every other woman in the street, is a
something greatly to be deprecated.
Whence comes it? If two men should
look at each other in passing, as two
women do. there would soon be an
unpleassntness between them and
should every man follow the fashion,
it would require 100, 900 policemen to
keep the peace in broadway alone.

Flowers, at this season. when q tol.
erable boouet costs from one to five
dollars, are rather expensive luxuries
and it is we'll worth while to know all
the devices of florists to keep them
fresh as long as possible. Here is one,
said to be practiced by the Belgian
florists, by which a boquet can be Kept
in fair condition for a week or ten
days: Change the water every other
day; cut of, with sharp scissors, a
quarter Of an inch of the stems, and
put a pinch of salt and grain of salt
