Sunset on the Adirondacks,

''Thc hours rolled on, and Sabbath, such
as we never before had passed, drew to its
close. The sun stopped toward its setting,
and standing On the highest pinnacle we
watched to see the day decline. Never be-
fore had our eyes seen, never again, doubt
less, will our eyes behold such sight. The
old guide, whose ak had first blazed trail
up its steep sides-who thirty years before
had built him stone lodge upon its crest,
that he might pass his nights upon this
mountain whose face was as the gray gran
ite on which we stood, said, as he crouched
at our feet, wrapped in his blanket, that he
never but thrice before had seen such a sun
set. The air was cool and crisp, bearing a
gainst US with steady current from the
west. 1t did not vary. There was no eddy
in it. 1t seemed as if the whole atmosphere
was moving bodily eastward. With what
words shall | be able to make you see that
spectacle? The air was pure and clear as a
newly-cut diamond; white and colorless as a
perfet lens, through which, with unimpeded
eye, we saw the marvellous transformation
from day to night go on. Seven thousand
feet beneath US Lake Placid slept, verifying
its name To the south a hundred noun
tain peaks were ablaze with light. For a
hundred miles the wilderness stretched
away like deep green sea across whose sur
face the sun is throwing wide lanes of Grim
son. Amid the darker portions.eighty patch
es of gold flashed, representing SO many
lakes, whose surfaces were changed from
steel blue to orange by the warm rays. East
ward the valley of Champlan lay in deep
shadow. To the north, bounding the vision
like thread of silver, cleaned the ST.
Lawrence. In the valley to the south lay
the martyred dust of him who died on Vir-
ginia galows that manhood in America
might not perish. The closing moment now
had come. The heav ems in the west were
swarthed in the rich tnts of scarlet and or
ange. A thousand colors lay on forest and
lake. The mountain SUBMITS famed. The
sun, like globe of liquid fire, stood as if
balanced on the western pines. Down into
them it burnt its way. Pausibg for a mo-
ment, it poured its warm benediction upon
the foTest-sent a crimson farewell to the
mountains-kissed the clouds in parting
then disappeared. And there in the crisp
air we stood and gazed in silence westward
until the shadows deepened along the sky,
the fog filled all the valleys, and the wilder
ness which had been to me and mine nurse
and home, and which we feared we should
never see or enter again, lay wrapped in
gloom.-Reu. H. H. Murray.

DON'T CROWD.

Don't crowd; this world is broad enough
For you as well as me;
The doors Of art are open wide
The realm of thought is free;
OF all earth places you are right
To choose the pest you can,
Provided that you Go not try
To crowd some other man.
What matter though you scarce can count
Your piles of golden ore,
While he can hardly strive to keep
Gaunt famine from his door
OF willing hands and honest heart
Alone shall man be proud;
Then give him all the room he needs,
And never try to crowd.
Don't crowd, proud Miss, your dainty silk
VIII gIi,ten none the less,
Because it cones In contact with

This lovely world was never made
For you and | alone;

The pathway to throne.
Don't crowd the good from out your heart,
By fostering all that's bad,
But give TO every virtue room
The best that may be had;

That you may well be proud
Give each his right-give each his room,
And never try 10 crowd.

she rallied her boatman on his superstition.

An Arkansas Fathers Advice to His Son,

Bob, you are about leaving home fol
strange parts. You are going to throw me
out OF the game and go it alone. The odds
are agin you Bob; remember that industry
and perseverance are the winning cards, as
they are the bowers" Book learning, and
all that sort of thing, will do to fill up with,
like small trumps, but you must have the
bowers to back them, or they amt worth
shucks. If luck is agin you pretty strong,
don crave and look like sicI chicken on a
rainy day, but hold up your head and make
believe you are flush of trumps; they don t
play so hard agin you. I've lived and trav-
eled around some, Bob, and I've found out
that as soon as folks thought you held a
weak hand, they all buck agin you strong.
30 when you re sort'r weak, keep bold look
but play cautious; be satisfied with point.
Many's the hand I've seen EN- euchre cause
they played for too much. Keep your eyes
we'll skinned, Bob; don't let 'em mig YOU +:
recollect the game lays as much with the
head as with the hands. Be temperate,
never get drunk, for then, no matter how
good your hand, you won't know how to
play it; both bowers and the ace won t save
you; for there's sartin to be miss deal, -
or something wrong. And another thing.
Boo, tthis was spoken in low tone), don t
go too much on the women; queens is
kinder poor cards, the more you have of EN-
the worse for you; you might have three
and nary trump. [ don't say discard em
all; ifyou get hold of one that is trump it s
all good, and there's sartin to be one out of
four. And above all, Bob, be honest; nev-
er take mans trick wot don't belong to
you, nor slip cards or mig, for then you
cant look your man in the face, and when
that's the case there's no fun in the game :;
it's regular ''cut throat" So, now, Bob,
farewell; remember wot [ tell you, and
you ii be sure to win, and if you don't, it
sarves you right if you get ''skunked'' u

A WONDERFUL PLANT.-A specimen of
the wonderful plant, The Flower of the
Holy Ghost" has been successfully raised
in Norwich, Conn. The flower is creamy
white cup, nearly as large as half an egg,
and extremely beautiful, and its wonder as
a natural floral growth is the fact that in
this flower Is a little pure white dove, with
pink bill and eyes, and its head turned as if
looking over its back. It's wings, feet, bill,
etc., are absolutely perfect those of the
living dove, whose counterpart the wonderful
flower dove is.

The SECRET OF IT.-An old farmer being
asked why his boys stayed at home when
others did not, replied that it was owing to
the fact that he always tried to make home
pleasant for them. He furnished them with
useful and attractive reading; and when
night comes, and the day s labor is ended,
instead of running with other boys to the
railway station and adjoining towns, they
gather around the great lamp, and become
absorbed in their books and papers His boys
were still at home when the eldest was TWEEN
ty-one, while those who we've furnished with
no reading at home sought city life and city
dissipation as soon as they we're seventeen
or eighteen. All will do well to heed this
testimony OF farmer who has known how
hard the struggle for footing on a free soil
without capital is, and how valuable and
comparatively cheap are the aids which
good reading brings to him. In this age of
general intelligence, the mind must be ca
tered to and books and papers furnished ;
and not only this, but, iu this age of cheap
and artistic chromos, pictures can also be
brought to use in making home attractive.
The farmers life is the most independent of
any and there is no reason why it may not
be as attractively surrounded.

Music IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Music IN OUR PUBLIC ScHoOLs.-This
subject is beginning to be more discussed,
and no doubt music has claims to larger
place among school studies than it has
hitherto occupied. The able address of
Daniel B. Hagar, delivered before the Mu-
steal Convention at the Boston Music Hall,
a few months since, has already excited a
powerful influence in this direction, and in
quiries are being made with regard to the
best method of adopting the reforms which
have been suggested. Without a doubt
music is the art which is most fostered
among US, and parlors are not considered
fully furnished that lack piano. We are
not only musical people, but We are des-
tined eventually to become great musical
nation. 1t is necessary, therefore, that we
devise some means of educating, to this
end, the rising generation. In Germany,
no one can be a school teacher who has not
a thorough knowledge of music, and the
divine art there is taught, as here, in the
common schools We hope that it may
soon be more generally taught among US
for its influence On physical Development
alone is one of the utmost Importance by
tending to keep the lungs and vocal organs
in a sound and vigorous. condition. 1t is,
however, in its moral power, that its espec-
ial excellence lies, and this is evident to all
who know its mysterious influence on the
mind and heart There is no better way of
combining moral culture with intellectual
attainment than by incorporating music as
a branch of common school education
