whence Came the Roses.

There is an old legend that there were
in the Garden of Eden no roses but white
ones until Eve tasted of the forbidden
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 there were ever any roses at
all in the world until, on certain time at
Bethlehem, there was beautiful young
girl who was charged with a crime, and
was sentenced to be burned to death
They led her into field, and piled fagots
around her, and then set them on fire.
But she being innocent, prayed, while
they were burning, that some wonderful
thing might take place to show that she
was innocent. And this is what happen
ed all the fagots which were already on
fire were changed into bushes full of red
roses, and those which had not kindled
were 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 man ever saw
And the country where this was done a.
bounds with them to this day.

Correct Speaking.

We advise all young people to acquire
in early life the habit of using good Ian
guage both in speaking and IN writing,
and to abandon as early as possible the
use of slang words and phrase The
longer they live the more difficult the ac-
QUESTION ofsuch language will be; and if
the golden age ofyouth-the proper sea-
son for the acquisition of language-be
passed in its abuse the unfortunate victim
of neglected education is very probably
doomed to talk slang for life. Money is
not necessary to procure this education.
Every man has it IN his power, He has
merely to use the language which he
reads instead of the slang which ehears !;
to form bis, taste from the best speakers,
and writers, and poets of the country; to
treasure up choice phrases in his memory,
and habituate himself to their use-avoid-
ing at the same time that pedantic pre-
cision and bombast which bespeak rather
the weakness of vain ambition than the
polish of an educated mind. There is no
man, however low in rank, who may not
materially benefit himself by following
this advice, md cultivating at the SAME
time such morals and manners as CORES
pond in character with good words.-ES-

Here much will be found of general in-
terest Portraits of the different gentle
men who have acted as directors of the
institution at different times grace the walls
while around and about the room, arranged
in cases, are collections of medals and
coins. Copies of all the medals ordered
by Congress may be seen, as we'll as copies
of medals ordered By other nations. Each
medal has an interesting history attached
to it, as commemorating some important
event in the annals of this and other ma
tions. which is shown by the inscription
on each. Specimens of all the coins issued
by the United States are preserved here,
and arranged in chronological order.
Some of them are very rare, particularly
the one dollar piece, of 1904, of which
only four were struck One of these is
preserved in the collection. A gentleman
of Boston had one, and it was sold few
months ago at auction for something over
$500 In the collection noticed specimens
of COINS gotten up by the director to take
the place of the fractional currency now
in circulation, which are very handsome.
They are of silver, but reduced twenty
per cent. 50 as to prevent their exporta-
tion or being used for manufacturing pur-
poses. 1t is wonderful what progress has
been made in coming money even since
the establishment of the mint. This is
clearly seen from the specimen preserved.
In the collection ! noted one of the cele-
brated pine tree shillings. It is very
common specimen of the art.

A MEMORY.
BY ALPHA

When the moon beams golden glimmere,
On Watauga's crystal stream,
Yellow moon beams shone and shimmere,
In a sweet bewild'ring dream.
On the bank we stood together,
While the waves beat on the strand,
Idly dreaming wond'ring whether,
This would be enchanted land,
While the bright waves softly muttered,
In low music at our feet
And our lips as softly uttered,
Thoughts to each as strangely sweet
Does the dear voice of the river,
Ever haunt your far-off ear?
Is a vision with you ever,
Of the scene that was so dear?
All. know your heart remembers
Even as mine that summer night!
Tho every hope be burned to embers,
That remains a mem'ry bright!
Still hear the sad sweet mutter,
OF Watauga on the shore
But know our hearts will utter
Thoughts as precious never more

Results Of Calculation.

There are many persons who cannot.
or will not, appreciate the harmony and
beauty of natural laws, the reason being
we suppose that they are incapable of fol-
lowing the calculations necessary for their
elucidation, and thus by avoiding all the
trouble, the results bring no pleasure to
them. Where can anything more beau
tiful be found, and in what fact can you
find a greater demonstration of the har-
mony of the universe, than the same law
which governs the motion of the planets,
also controls falling stone? together
also keeps in contact the particles of skin
on our hands. The universe and all
things in it obey system or code of laws
which cannot be broken. 1t may appear
extraordinary when we state there is
nothing violent or irregular in nature
The upheaved rocks of former ages have
all been upheaved gradually, and in obe-
dience to controlling power; even appar-
antly capricious earthquakes always move
and ever will progress in definite and
given path around the globe; and the
eruption of volcano can be elucidated to
a nicely. Storms can be prognosticated,
hurricanes predicted, and comets ap-
pearance prophesied; all these wonders
are the result of hard and dry figures, the
consequence of great calculation. Who,
IN future, viii not have great respect for
arithmetic? q.

How Close Should Hives be TO To-
getlicr!

Each colony sho7ld occupy its own
bench or stand-no two swarms should
occupy the same bench. If there Is more
than one, when you operate with one swarm
the others become irritated, and will trou-
bic you more than the swarm you are OPP
Grating with. Sheds for protection will
do well enough for winter, but in the sum
mer they should be kept in The open air,
and protected from the extreme heat when
necessary, by coverings for each hive.
When placed on separate stands, leave
three or four feet between each stand ;
also paint the front sides of your hives Of
different colors, and place no two Of the
same color next each other This is to
avoid the loss Of young queens when they
take their excursions to meet the drones.
If the hives are similar in shape and color,
the queens, on their return, frequently
enter the wrong hive and are killed.

Manhood.

A nations strength is in its manhood,
not in its population, arms, fortresses, ex-
tent of territory, cities, or mere material
resources of any kind whatever. In en-
lightenment, heroism, power of endurance
reverence for truth, sense of honor, love OF
purity, these measure its greatness, proph-
esy of its perpetuity, ana exalt it to the
heavens.
"What do you raise in this country ?'
asked gentleman Of lad whom he en-
countered in the wastes of New Hamshire.
''Men, sir!'' was the prompt and sufi-
cient reply. And the country which rails
es men can never be exhausted of its re-
sources. Men, cultivated men, will pro-
duce everything essential to national pro-
priety. They will blast wealth from the
rocks, transmute the spray of the water
fall into silver, won fortune from beyond
the seas, add percent, of profit by inge-
NOUS industries, to whatever passes thro.
their hands, and by patient process of
mental and moral culture, rear the pillars
of imperishable empire in their schools
and colleges and churches-in their laws,
courts and constitutions of government.

Woman Found Dead ira n Wood
house frcm Fn1eusDcrauce.

Death IN any form or shape, when sud
den and unexpected, is calculated to in
spire melancholy feeling and produce a
shudder on the part of those who witness
it; but when it is produced in the forms
of those claimed by intemperance as its
victim, the sight is painful and sickening
indeed. When the victim is a woman
the details and the result are all the more
regretful, and 90 to show to what ends in
temperance may bring its votaries at last
For quite length of time there has been
living in this city woman named Martha
Bumphries, native of Wales, England
She lived for the most part in the capaci-
ty of domestic or house servant, having
been engaged at different times by some
of our first families. She was very su-
perior cook and house servant generally.
She lived for length of time with the
family of Hon. Henry S. FoOte. She was
addicted to drink, and the habit grew upon
her to such an extent that Mrs. Foote was
compelled to discharge her. Afterward
she went to the house, No 119 South
Vine street, where she made her home
with Mrs. Cunningham. Lately she has
been indulging her propensity for strong
drink to great excess She went out and
returned, it is supposed, deeply intoxicat-
ed. and entered the woodhouse. She was
found at five o'clock yesterday morning
in the woodhouse, lying on her face, her
feet partly protruding from the door
She was stiff, stark and cold in DEATH
Near by was bottle, containing a small
quantity of whisky. Deceased was about
forty years Of age and had been long
time in this country. Coroner p. w.
Brien held an inquest over her remains,
the jury returning verdict that she came
to her death from the effects of intemper-
ance. A check or order for 1880 on
the third National Bank, signed Rachel
d. Foote, was found in her possession.-
A letter was received yesterday morning
from her husband at Louisville, making
Inquiries concerning her death, as to how
she was getting along, etc. The body

Mathematics.

Mathematics is the most noble and eleva-
ted science the human mind can investi-
gate or study. Each question that the
student undertakes to solve, when accom-
plished, but leads to another and higher,
and thus leads the intellect to consider
and grapple with the grandest realizations
of truth in our universe. All other sciences
Except those relating to living beings) are
based upon it. Astronomy. its eldest
child, and Mechanics, its most useful SER
want, are but practical mathematics. How
grand and noble to calculate the distances
of stars, the motions of the planets, and
to prophesy the appearance of meteor
and how useful AID glorious, as advancing
true civilization to calculate the horse
power of steam engine, to estimate the
extent of bed of coal, and to determine
the practical strength of ironl All these
are done by the aid of this science, and
the world teens with objects for its inyes-
tigation.

strange Freak ef MIXTURE.

Coolies Store, Rockingham County, Va,
Sept. Ia strange freak of nature has
taken place in the track of the severe
hailstorm that occurred in this region some
three weeks ago. We were not aware Of
anything of the kind occurring heretofore.
1t is this: That all the orchards in the
track of the hailstorm have come out in
full bloom. Some orchards are in full
bloom as they ever were in the spring.
Not only the apples are in bloom, but the
locust trees in many places are also in
bloom. A gentleman came 10 my house
last week and told me on his road here he
saw an apple tree with several bushelsof
ripe apples on and thousands of bloom
on the same the same tree. A very pret-
ty but strange SIGHT.

The Moss Rose.

Krummacher illustrates simplicity by
the following fable:
The angel who takes care of the fow-
ers, and sprinkles upon them dew in the
still night, slumbered on Spring day in
the shade of rose bush.
When he awoke, he said, "most beauti-
full of my children, thank thee for thy
refreshing odor and cooling shade. Could
you now ask any favor how willingly
would 1 grant it? %
"Adorn me, then, with new charm %
said the spirit of the rose-bush in a be-
seaching tone.
So the angel adorned the loveliest of
flowers with the simple moss. Sweetly it
stood there, in its modest attire, the moss
rose, the most beautiful of its kind.
So the costliest ornaments are often the
simplest. There is no gold, nor jewel,
nor sparkling pearl equal to the ''orna-
ment of meek and quiet spirit, which is,
in the sight of God, of great price,"

SaEt for Oats.

At meeting of the Farmers Institute
Of Eastern Pennsylvania recently. p. Nor
ris exhibited sample of oats grown by
II. Ingersoll, of the Philadelphia Society
for Promoting Agriculture. This was of
extraordinary size and early maturity. pro-
duced by the application of six bushels Of
salt to the acre. The stalks were much
larger than usually seen, the leaves broader,
and in every way superior to other samples
exhibited Mr.. Ingersoll stated that
the advanced condition of his oats, as we'll
as the unusal size of the stalks, was owing
to the fact that he had sowed broadcast up
on the field six bushels of salt to the acre
after sowing the oats. A large quantity
of salt conld be used, but never greater
than forty bushels. Salt, to be efficacious
on oats, wheat or corn, should be put on
sandy soil, and not on stiff clay lands.
Mr.. Ingersoll had been using salt for a
number of years, and found that not only
the grain crop was benefited, but the after
crops, particularly clover. 10. a. ,ig3a
