love should bo-clinging and unfading
it was 10 them both II teacher and
memorial.
And so, when a husband or father
brings home littlo plant, if it is but
a halfpcnny daisy-root, be careful
Of it. His hand, that SO tcndcrly
carried the little flower, will have u
tender touch for the human flowers
in his dwelling. His eye, that secs
feels tho beauty of Gods silent work,
will bo sure to dwell lovingly on the
little prattlcrs that climb his knee.
1Ie will bc careful and kind; for
none but the careful and gentle can
have Il great love for flowers.
Happy is the wife who helps hus-
band in his love of flowers, and who
hears with a joyful heart her children
say, as they look out on q summers
night for their fathers return:
'1Ierc he comes, mother! and, oh
dear, he has such nice flower, such
beauty, in his arms! Do come and
SEQ mothcr"
Yes, this is the greeting; these arc
the innocent joys that may be had in
the British workman's home, and Of
which the flowers arc tho silent but
sweet tcachcrs.-BritisA Workman.

From the Prcshyterian.
The Lambs of the Fold
BY MRS. w. L. MILLER.

AS o'cr thy green pastures thou watchest to-
day.
Dear Shepherd, come hither and bless us, we
pray,
The flock is now waiting thy face to behold ;
Come, feed with thy hands the lambs Of the
fold.
We tell them of Tbee-of thy goodness and
love.
OF beautiful pastures in Eden above;
But q! they ,cW wander afnr. lest Thou hold.
And bear in thy bosom the lau.bs Of the fold.
We tell them thy love is the wall round us
here.
That without is desert wild, fearful and
dreur;
But they look through the gates. and wha
they behold
OF earth most fair to the Lambs of the fold
Th' r, ale pathways encumbered with beauti
ful flowers;
There nre fountains. and rills, and fairy like
hnwers
They win not believe, tho oft they are told.
lhey'd lead on to ruin the lambs Of the fold.
Go out, gentle sher j, and seek them. We
pray.
For some have begun from the pn.ture to stray
The hight will be dark the et"rm i'll he cold
Bring back in thy arms the lambs of the fold
Their feet are so tender; o! how they vii
bleed;
They'll find. midst the blossoms, the thorn ant
the weed,
The poison that lurks-the foe, strong an,
bod;
o rescue from him the lambs of the fold
Ard when gentle Shepherd, thou need'st then
above.
T" fill up the pastures prepared in thy love,
C.',ne Thou to the u: ink OF the river 80 cold,
And bear o'er the waters each lamb of tn
fold.

DEATH OF A NoToRIous INFIDEL.-

DEATH OF A NoToRIoUs INFIDEL-
Samuel Ludvigh, the notorious Ger
man Infdel, died lately in Cumnlins-
vile, near Cincinnati, Ohio. lie was
born in Guens, Hungary, in 1901, and
came to America in 1887. Here he
began his editorial career in the pub
lication of that most vile and Infamous
paper, The FackeL. which advocated
tho most low and vulgar infidelity.
He was naturally talented man, but
his infidel. brethren permitted him to
contend all his lifetime with want for
the necessaries of life. Infidelity does
not understand that it is more blessed
to give than to receive. Even on his
death bed poor Ludvigh suffered the
most pinching want, and the Turner's
of Cincinnati projected theatrical
exhibition for his benefit. But this
came too late. Ludvigh died before
the exhibition could take place, and
now the proceeds are to be given to
his poor widow and six children.
Why do not those for whose princi-
pies this man devoted his life take up
q general collection among all the inf
del brethren, by which the family
might have been raised above want ?
The answer is, that genuine practical
love to the brethren does not flow
from this cold materialistic world, but
it springs only from the fountain OF
love ON Calvary, from Him who has
shed His hearts blood out Of love to
thsbrethren. Atlivipg faith on the
Redeemer will also kindle in the heart
q love TO the brethren. '''''''+ "a ''''<.

BEING BLOWN UP.
How it Feels-The Experience Of
an Old Salt who has been
Through the Mill"

The recent sad accident of tho Aus
trian frigato Radelsky has sharpened
the memory of an old Dano who had
on board the Danish ship of the line
Christian Will, on the fifth Of April,
1919, when she exploded. Fortunate
ly, he was not killed, and has just
given in the Vienna Press, in oil ear
ncstncss, his experience and sensation
at the time. The old sailors inlagi-
nation seems to be one of the best:
In the first moment, he says, hear
ing and seeing both went away,
though both came back very soon
and comprehended the whole affair.
Lieutenant Frus had sprung the
ship in the air. I constantly went
hithcr. Not far from me 1 saw our
forcmast flying around mo in q very
dangerous manner. Above mo every
thing was concealed in the thick
powder smoke, which Shut out the
sun; but below me the land lay spread
out before my dizzy sight in the va
riegated beauty of spring. The Baltic
glistcncd like silver III the fresh breeze
but of the glorious battle ship there was
nothing left but !'lazing crater, and
upon the frigate Gcsion foatcd the
fas Of the enemy.
O, my poor Denmark, how much
hast thou lost ? I calculated this is
remarkable physiological fact-whilo
l was flying i'll the air the loss at one
and Il half million rigsdalcrsl In the
meantime my movement upward be-
came slower from second to second, and
at last it appeared asifI was suspended
perfectly still for moment in the
ether. An indesciibablc feeling of
comfort pcrmeated my breast, and
confidence in the future Of my dearly
loved fathcrand entered my soul
Bst this did not last long. L sank
slowly again to the earth, and the
forcmast Of all the other wreck
around sank with mo. Only mon
ster cloud of powder smoke remained
in the air. Altogether different was
my frame of mind us I approached the
earth, with rapidity Of fifteen feet
in the second.
In ascending I did not feel at all
unhappy, but in descending on the
contrary, I experienced an oppres
sive fearfulncss which is hardly des-
cribable. I now saw before my eye
death, upon which I never once
thought; the period of my childhood
sprang fresh in memory; 1 thought
Of my mother and my swecthearts
and with closed eyes, in maddcncc
speed, came down headforcmost
The clear pure water was beaten in
to q spray as 1 drove down like {
bomb. I sank slowly, but deeper
even deeper. Underneath, there
prevailed grcenish twilight. Fl
nally reached the "dead point" ant
it appeared as if I was again raiset
up by the water. My breath wa
almost, exhausted; yet I exertcd m.
lungs to the utmost, and was at las
> rewarded with life. Even quicker
assembled, and at last I came out il
the air like cork. Powerful arm
, seized hold Of me, raised me into tb
, boat, and led me as n prisoner of wa
, into arrest. -"s

LEE AND MoTLEY.-It is stated that
when Gen. Lee had his late interview
with Gen. Grant, Mr.. Motley was
present. The meeting of these two
different characters is suggestive.
Mr.. Motley is the historian of the
netherlands. lie knew how to do
justice to brave people struggling
for their liberties abroad. He could
recognize something to be admired N
the wonderful courage and conduct of
the men who guided and inspired that
great combat for liberty and justice.
But when he looks upon qualities in
his own county as heroic and disinter-
ested, upon vator such as Greece and
Rome never surpassed, and a chieftain,
who, in public and private virtue and
military genius, has no living equal,
he bcholds a wicked rebellious and
most Ubiquitous traitor thatth world
ever saw justly punished by having
their own negro slaves put over them.
Mr.. Motley, the historian, Of great
deeds, who under no circumstances
could perform what he has described,
will be to the Court Of st. Jafaes to
bask in2the snhshine'of political and
social position, while Gen. Iee, ,sin the
obseurs villageso of. Lexington, is with-
drawn Aom the se,'though not from
tho thonghtss Of the world. Y But, 'ss

Queen VictOria's Model Farm.

Situated about a mile from Wind
sor, is probably the most perfect, rs it
is the most expensive, thing of tho
kind in the world. Its dairy depart
ment is thus described in a letter to
tho Philadelphia Bulletin
awe entered beautiful cottage
and were shown by one Of the queens
favorite servants into room about
TO- ty feet square, the roof supported
by six octugonal columns of white
marble, with richly-carved capitals.
Tho floors wero Of white porcelain
tiles, the windows stained glass, bor-
dered with May blossoms, daisies,
buttcrcups and primroscs. The walls
were lined with tiles of porcelain of q
beautiful blue tint, with rich medal
lions inserted of the queen, prince con-
sort, and each Of the children. Shields,
monograms of tho royal family, and
bass-rclicfs of agricultural designs,
representing the seasons, completed
the ornamcntation of this exquisite
dairy. All around tho walls ran q
marble table, and through the centre
two long ones supported by marble
posts, resting on basins, through
which runs apcrpetual stream of pure
spring-watcr. BY this means the
table slabs are always kept cold, and
the temperature Of tho dairy is chill
while the white and gilt china milk
and butter dishes resting on the tables
are never placed in water. We drank
the delicious milk, just brought in, in
bright metal buckets, lined with por
cclain, the queens monogram and
crest glittcring on tho brass plates O.
the covers. In the room wherc thu
butter was made, milked SKINNED
and strained, we feasted our eyes or
the rows of metal, porcelain-lince
cans of every size, made to lock, ant
sent to tho royal family even as far a.
Scotland; so they always have goot
milk and butter. The churn was o
metal also, and lined with porcelain
mado in two compartments. Tn
outside chamber surrounding th'
cylinder could have warm or COLI
water poured in to regulate tn
coming of the butter without dis
turbing tho cream. The lid wa
screwed on, and the stationary stan'
on which tho whole was turned mad
the work easy and rapid. But Will
over sixty cows are daily milked, an
as many more out grazing, the roys
family are more than satisfied, an
the Londoners moro than dissatisfied
to sec rolls of golden butter and can
of cream sold from the model farr
for saving money for the quecnl
know the butter is sold, for we breal
tasted OIL it this morning, and we pal
for it, not as bribe, but regula
market bargain at the dairy"

How Poon RoYs REACH THE TOP
ROUND There are 1919 names who
pay an income tax in this city. Six
ty-seven persons who pay tax on
incomes of 100000. Most of these
solid gentlemen are sselfmadc men,
who have come up from the lowest
round of the ladder. The man who
heads the list, A. IT. Stewart, every
body knows is an Irish cmigrant, who
commenced life with capital Of less
than twenty-five cents !; indeed. with
few exceptions, most Of the parties in
the list were scarce as well off as Mr..
Stewart. Take Henry Keep he
boasts that he graduated from the
poor-house of Jefferson County. Jay
Gould drove a herd of cattle from
Delhi, Delaware County, when a lad,
for fifty cents day, in order to get
money enough to reach the Hudson
River. David Grocsbeck, over thirty
years ago, used to mend old shoes for
his, brother, who was respectable
shoemaker in Albany. ....
We all know the history of James
Gordon Bennett, Robert Bonner, poor
boys, full of talent and industry. Ru-
fns, Hatch, when youngster, had the
ambition to hold the rcins of II ped
lars wagon. E. D. Morgan commen-
ced life with q quarter measure of
molasses. 1t is scarce q dozen years
since Henry Clews was an GRAND
boy in. one of the banking houses
doWn, town. The brothers. Seligman
started out, in life with, a pedlar's
pack. David Dows, in his younger
days, retailed pork by the half pound
and molasses. BY the gill. Fl. T,

Total Solar Eclipse in August.


A total eclipse of the sun will take
place on tho 7th Of August next, the
only one, since 1884, which could bo
observed i'll any considerable portion
of this country, and no other total
eclipse will be visible in America dur
ing tho present century. AS partial
eclipse it will be visible all over the
Northern parts of this continent,
while the path Of the umbra, in which
the eclipse will be total, is about 143
miles in breadth, entering the United
States near the origin Of Milk river,
longitude 80 deg. W., thence through
tho Southwest corner of Minnesota,
and diagonally through Iowa, crossing
the Mississippi river near Burlington,
Iowa; thence through Illinois, north
of Springfield, crossing the Ohio river
near Louisville, Ky; thence through
the Southwest corner of West Fir-
ginia, and through North Carolina,
south Of Raleigh, and thence to New
bern, entering the Atlantic north of
Beaufort, N. c., ending at sunset in
the ocean, in latitude 81 deg, l5 min.,
sec. n, AID longitude 8 deg, 36
min., 6 sec. E. Along the line above
described tho eclipse will be total, and
at all other places in the United
Stntes partial. Along the Atlantic
| coast, in tho United States, the eclipse
ends at about sunset, In Washington
City the u,nbra commences at s h. 2
m. P. NJ, and ends at 8 h. So m.
Pm.
The Navy Department., at Wash
ington City, with q view to CLEAN all
the information possible, has thus dis
posed Of some Of it's most eminent pro-
fessors of astronomy : Prof Hall, of
tho Naval observatory, md Mr..
Joseph a. Rogers, of the Hydro
graphic Office, left Washington City
tho middle of last May for Behring's
strait, under orders, to take observa-
tions in that quarter, at which place
the eclipse makes its advent. Profs.
Simon Newcomb, William Hardness,
and j. r. Eastman, of the Naval OBJ
servatory, have been ordered to Iowa,
each to take observations, acting in
dependent of one another. Prof.
Newcomb will take with him the
largest object-glass from the Naval
Observatory he can procure, and
search for asteroids between Mercury
and the sun. Some ten years since it
was thought by Leverier, distin-
guished astronomer, that zone OF
planets existed between Mercury and
the sun. They have never as yet
been discovered, and no hopes are
). entertained Of their discovery, except
during . total eclipse. In view o.
this fact; Prof Newcomb win have
this particular charge under his direc
: tion as partof his duties On this oecas
ZION. Prof Hardness will make inves
tigationsl with the spsctroscope. DR.
