Mhnncn Cnnln tho Roses.

There is an old legend that there were
in the Garden of Eden no roses but
white ones, until Eve tasted of the for
bidden fruit, When the roses saw her
do this, they blushed for shame. in
every shade, from the faintest damask
to burning red; and ever since there
have been all the lively tints that we
see.
A different story, however, is told,
which denies that there were ever any
roses at all in the world until, on cer-
tain time, at Bethlehem, there was a
beautiful young girl who was charged
with crime, and sentenced to be burn
ed to death. They led her into field,
and piled fagots around her and set
them on fire. But she being innocent,
prayed while they We're burning that
some wonderful thing might take place
to show that she was innocent. And
this is what happened: All the fagots
which We're on fire were changed
into bushes full of red roses, and
those that had not kindled turned
into white ones, also full of flowers.
"And these, says an ancient writer,
"were the first rose, trees and roses,
both red and white, that ever man
saw" And the country where this was
done abounds with them to this day.
Another story accounts for the varie
gated kinds. Once there were thirty
years of miserable civil war in England
growing out of a quarrel between tn
two families Of York and Lancaste
about the right to the throne. 1t was
fierce and cruel contest, during whic
some of the best blood in the countr
was shed, and noble families becam
extinct. The whole nation was divide

Each party had a symbol to be know
by. The house of Lancaster chose
: red rose, which was worn by all its az
herents; upon which, that of Yor
took a white one. So famous did thes
emblems become that the war wa

the Roses" The strife ended at last b

Bavaians, they do not, on the average,
consume as much lager as the Belgians.
In Munich, it is true, each inhabitant
during the year, on the average, drinks
no less than go quarts Of foaming lager;
but then that city is noted as the centre
of lager-beer drinking and brewing,
and as the place in particular where
King Gambrinus holds his court. The
average consumption of beer in Germa-
ny is only As quarts per head, while
Belgium consumes Ga quarts to each
inhabitant annually. Each inhabitant
of England annually drinks II quarts
of beer, which is more than Austria,
that is satisfied with 20 quarts pro per-
soma. France somewhat abandons the
beer in preference of wine, and con-

The mantle of charity ought to be
thrown around the faults of our fellow
beings. "Thy sins be forgiven thee !"
should be the answer for us to give
those who have snned against us and
wish to be taken back to our bosoms
and be as they once We're, pure and sim
less. Forgive and forget; memory will
not let us forget but it is in the power
of exalted human benevolence. Sad
dening scenes will often press them
selves upon our attention, even when we
do the best to prevent them. So scenes
of inharmony between ourselves and
our human relations will arise in the
soul, Notwithstanding the presence and
influence of that principle of Christian
charity which should inspire every hui
man soul with its divine efiulgence.
Yet memory however faithful to her
trust, will not prevent us from being
lenient towards the faults and follies Of
others and even to forgive their depart.

A New York journal raises the ques-

but it loses none OF its importance on
that account. 1t is pregnant with in

Twenty years ago such q question

ber is daily increasing.
Boys are no longer taken as apprcn-
tices. They are hired-embryo journey
men-claiming all the privileges and
exercising all the spirit of independence
of full grown workmen, and having
these rights as they are termed, as fully
recognized as in the case of the adults.
The tendency of this system, If we can
dignity it by such title, is too clear to
be misunderstood. 1t gives to boys a
spirit of false independence, which ex-
eats the most pernicious influence upon
their conduct, teaches them to be i'm
pudent, and, at the same time, indifier-
ent to their own or the interest OF their
employers. Their stay in shop or at
a particular trade is made to depend
not upon any special advantages it may
afford them for becoming familiar with
the trade or calling, but upon the
amount of pay which they secure. If,
after having received certain amount
of instruction in one shop, they are
offered dollar a week more in another,
in nine cases out of ten they will either
accept or their old employer is Compel
ed to advance their wages. Rarely does
it occur that a boy remains with an

The Property and The Wealth of Statesmen.
Jefferson died comparatively poor.
Indeed, if Congress had not purchased
his library, and given for it FIVE times
its value, he would with difficulty have
kept the wolf from the door.
Madison saved money, and Was COM
paratively rich. To add to his fortune,
however, or rather that of his widow,
Congress purchased his manuscript pa
pers, and paid 100000 for them.
James Monroe, the sixth President of
the United States, died in New York,
so poor that his remains found q resting
place through the charity of one Of his
friends. They remain in cemetery in
School street, but no monument marks
the spot where they repose.
John Quincy Adams left some $780,
600, the result of in dustry, prudence
and inheritance. He was man OF
method and economy.
Martin Van Buren died very rich
Throughout his political life he studi'
ously looked out for h's interest. 1t is
not believed that he ever spent thirty
shillings in politics. His party shook
the bush and he caught the bird.
Daniel Webster squandered a million
in his lifetime, the product of his pro
fessional and political speculations. HI
died, leaving his property to his chill
dren and his debts to his friends. Tn,
former sold for less than s2O,OOO-th,
latter exceeded s250,00O.
Henry Clay left very handsome es
tate. 1t probably exceeded 100000. II
was q prudent manager and a scrupu
lously honest man.
James X. Polk left about slj0,00C
$4,000 of which he saved from hi
Presidency of four years.
John Tyler left $4,000. Before h
reached the Presidency he was bank
rupt. In Office he husbanded his mean
and then married rich wife.
Zachary Taylor left $780, 900.
Millard Fillmore is wealthy mar
and keeps his money in strong boz
1t will not be swallowed up in specul
tion nor squandered in vice.
Ex. President Pierce saved some $50

non,t he tnn Sensitive.

There are some people-yes, many
people-always looking out for sights.
They cannot carry on the daily inter-
course of the family without some Of
fence is designed. They are as touchy
as hair triggers. If they meet an ac-
quaintance in the street who happens
to be preoccupied with business, they
attribute his abstraction in some mode
personal to themselves, and take um-
bragg accordingly. They lay on others
the fault of their irritability. A fit Of
indigestion makes them see imperti-
nence in everybody they come in con-
tact with. Innocent persons, who never
dreamed of giving offence, al astonish-
ed to find some unfortunate word, or
some momentary taciturnity, mistaken
for an insult. To say the least the habit
is unfortunate. 1t is far wiser to take
the more charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose slight Is in-
tended unless the neglect is open and
direct. After all, too, life takes its use
in great degree from the color of our
own mind. If we are frank and gener-
Gus, the world treats us kindly, If on
the contrary, we are suspicious, men
learn to be cold and cautious to us. Let
a person get the reputation of being
touchy, and every body is under more
or less restraint; and in this way the
chances of an imaginary offence are
vastly increased.
