A MurderOus Sea Flower.

One of the exquisite wonders
of the sea is called the opelet,
and is about as large as the
German aster, looking indeed
very much ike one. Imagine
d very large double aster, with
ever SO many long petals of a
light green, glossy as satin,
and each one tipped with rose
color. These lovely petals do
not lie quietly in their places,
like those of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in
the water, while the opelet
generally clings to a rock. How
innocent and lovely it looks on
its rocky bed. Who would sus-
pect that it could eat any thing
grosser than dew or sunlight ?
But those beautiful, waving
arms, as you call them, have
another use besides looking
pretty. They have to provide
food for a large, open mouth,
which is hidden deep down
amongst them-so well hidden
that one can scarcely find it.
Well do they perform their du-
ty, for the instant a foolish lit
tie fish touches one of the rosy
tips, he is struck with poison,
as fatal to him as lightning.
He Immediately becomes numb,
and in a moment stops strug-
Cling, and the other beautiful

A DISGUsTED POLITICIAN.

In 1912 there was in the city
of New York a quack doctor
named Pease who spared Meth
err money nor pains to bring
his medicine before the public
no advertising dodge was left
untried. At this time the
'Dorr Rebellion broke out,
causing great excitement
throughout the country. in
Philadelphia lived old Sam
Huyston, a violent politician,
who advocated pacific measures
to end the rebellion, prophesied
dire calamities if any other
means were adopted, and ex-
pended much high-fown elo-
quence III trying to convert
others to his opinion. One
morning, as he and some friends
were standing on his office
steps, conversing on the all
important topic, the newspaper
arrived, and quite a number of
persons gathered around to
hear the news. 'Hallo!' said
old Sam; .just as l told you.
Listen, fellow citizens!' and he
began to read in a loud voice,
with extravagant gestures;
THE Door REBELLION! blood!
blood!l blood!!! Must this
thing be? Must brother slaugh-
ter brother, and our fair coun-
try be desolated by a civil war?
Is there no remedy? Yes, there
is one-use Pease's Celebrated
Catarrh Snuff!
Sam stopped short, and a
look Of blank establishment
overspread his face, which
soon gave place to one of i'm,
mense disgust.
Curse it'll he shouted,
throwing the paper on the
ground and stamping on it.
Then shaking his fist at the
crowd, he rushed into his office
sand slammed the door, amid a
perfect roar of laughter.

arms wrap themselves around
him, and he is drawn into the
huge, greedy mouth, and is
seen no more. Then the love-

in the water, looking as inno-
cent and harmless as though
they had never touched a fish.

Valuable. THE following is

Valuable.-The following is
said to be a sure preventive
against the fly on the Somato,
when trausplanted from the
hot bed: A twig of the odd
field pine stuck in the ground
on the south Of the plant, and
just large enough to shade it,
bending north. Let the pine
remain until the tomato as
sumes a vigorous growth, then
remove it.
Tobacco, after being dried in
an oven or warm sun, then
rubbed very fine, and applied
to squashes, melons, &C., is
certain against the striped bug
OF course a renewal must be
made after every rain.
Try both receipts they are
simple and can do no damage.

Woman Dress.-The local
Of the Charlottesville Chronicle
writes like a philosopher on
this subject. He says: 1--WE
dislike to hear hardened, unim-
pressible old bachelors always
quarrelling about ladies ex-
travagance in dress. They
seem to forget that they dom t
furnish any lady with dresses,
and let the ladies wear what
they please-it is none Of their
business. If they should choose
to wear five hundred yards OF
cloth at a time, we sha' n t
grumble. And if they should
choose to wear nothing at all /,
we'll not grumble either

Lizzie's joy to the greatest pos

Father and mother seemed to

it was an excellent one, said he
would take a little of it.

her this novel assurance, he
reached for the molasses and
poured it over his potatoes and
butter.
This was too much for Clara
and me, and we burst into an
uncomfortable fit Of laughter,
which recalled Bob to his
senses and, blushing crimson,
he confessed he was absent
minded, as he had just been
able to see his way clear in a
matter which had troubled him
for months. ..-
He then heartily joined in
the general laugh at his mis-
takes. Lizzie also joining in
and blushing a pink accompa-
