PATIENCE OF NATURE AND MAN.

Now oil the flowers are dying All returns
With silent speed to whence it lately came,
And now, more sharply, and more sadly far
Than once springs blooming twigs,-pale autumn

With myriad withered fower-stalks up to heaven
To other, of all things the bourne and grave:
And all this silence we'll nigh breaks my heart
The supernatural hush Of the blue grave
The silence of these withered fiower-heads.
That patient perish. as they patient lived.
y, truly! We are better than the flowers
Yet happier are the flowers than are We men.
Yea, cen the leaves that rustic at our feet,
They know no fear, no, only human hearts.

That thou dost praise the Aowers-that they on.
dure.
Endurance is not patience with pure heart,
With heavenly soul to bear the lot of earth,
Feeling ones self living above it all,
As high above the clouds the sun shines on
- That,-that is patience! With gult-conscious
heart
To appear patient, is but punishment.
With 'ightsome Joy to accept mistaken things
-Serpents for fshes-is sheer senselessness.
Only the best wear patience as crown
Fair a. lunar rainbow, and as rare! :.

Secret Sins.

The IchneumOn fly lays its eggs in
the body of the caterpillar. When the
egg is Matched, the larva begins to
feed at once on the body of the poor
worm. 1t avoids, by a remarkable
instinct, the vital parts, and the cat

suddenly transformed into n drunk

was lost to all shame or self-respect.
He had been for years drinking in Sc

stages were very rapid.
There is n little weed which some
times creeps into our canals and rivers

The berIathan OF PIekIOcks.

In a recent interesting article on
locks and keys in Chambers Jour
nal the writer says:
Another metropolitan mechanic
Joseph Bramah, patented, in 1874, q
lock containing a series of slides, each
one which has to be pressed down to q
certain position so as to pass the lock-
ing-plate, before, the bolt can he NOV
ed. Although this invention was but
the revival of an ancient Chinese lock
(referred to abOve), itprOved to be one
of the most successful and famous pat
ents in the history of the trade. The
lock attained the acme Of its celebracy
during the great Exhibition Of 1851
but it proved 10 be the presage of its
sudden fall. Mr.. Bramah had for
many years exhibited a lock in his
shop window i'm Piccadilly, attached tC
it was the offer of a re ward of two hun
dred guineas for the invention of an
instrument to open it. Everybody re-
members how this bOastful challenge
was accepted by Hobbs, a young
American mechanic, who had come
over to the Worlds Fair, and how, af.
ter sixteen days of patient effort, he
succeeded i'm dispelling the fond
dream of an "unpickable lock-" This
astonishing feat was the greatest event
of the Exhibition, and it lifted Hobbs
into fame and established a new and
successful era i'm the production OflOckS
and KEYS.

A Remarkable Dream.

A gentleman Of the highest charac.
acter, a minister of the Gospel, relat.
ed 10 US the following remarkable
facts, which were furnished him by
the Rev. l. n. Thompson, n well
known Methodist minister ri south
ern Indiana. One of Mr.. TlOmpsOn's
parishIOners had a very singular
dream, which ran about as follows, as
he related it to his family the next
morning: He dreamed that an walk
ing in one of his pasture fields LIE came
upon a certain tree, near the path he
was following, and which had an
opening from the root on one side.
Near the foot OF the tree, oiled along
side the path, he saw i'm his dream a
large yellow rattlesnake, and this
snake, his dream told him, had bitten
him and killed him. After relating
the dream to his family next morning
he concluded to go to the pasture, and
there, beside the path at the bottom
of the half rotten tree, lay cOiled up n
large rattlesnake. Selling a small
limb from 4 tree lying near, he struck
at the snake, but in doing so his foot
slipped and he fell upon the poisonous
reptile, which bit him upon the cheek.
He hastened to his home, nearly a
quarter of a mile distant, where, two
hours later, he died i'm great agony.
This story is an ostincredible one,
but il comes to us from such a source
that We cannot dOubtits truth.-LOUis-

Il NGrrOIC Escape.

On handsome lawn fronting on an
old ivy-grown mansion, in the State
of Virginia, one pleasant afternoon,
not many years since, a group of young
people of both sexes We're gathered.
Standing in their midst was an old
woman, bent down with age, looking
as if she stood on the brink of the
grave, but her dark, restless eye show
ed that there was vigorous life i'm her
mind, il not in her body.
She had been "telling fortunes" fOI
the young people gathered around her,
and TO all but one she had fOretOld 3
bright and happy future. The excep-
ton OF this rule of blessedness through
life was q handsome boy of nineteen,
with a dark, passionate face, and an ex-
preston which indicated perfect fear
lessness.
Five years before the opening of this
story, an old gentleman and his neph-
ew had moved to Virginia from some
northern State, and buying a farm
had made il their home. Mr.. Mercer
and his nephew Frank were treated
with kindness by the gentlemen o
the ueighbOrhoOd, and they received
| invitations 10 visit the plantation:
near them. Frank soon became ac
0uainted with all the country, but hi
uncle never left his farm, and seemed
to shun society. For this many rea
sons were given, but the true one wa
that he had lost all his family, anC
Franks parents having LETT him &
Mr.. MERGERS charge, he determined
to devote himself TO the boy, an(
found sufficient enjoyment in hls com
pany and in eultivating his farm.-
Though reported very wealthy, ant
that he always kept a large sum
gold in the house, Frank lived in
quiet way, and made no display.
Thus passed Franks early youth
from his fourteenth until his nine
teenth year, when our story opens.

A SInsnIar Letter.

One Of the most remarkable letters
i'm a certain way that we have seen
lately, is published in the Cleveland
Herald, it being a denial by one Mrs.
F. A. Carter of the truth Of a story
which it had published that she had
blistered q young servant girls tongue
for lying. She says, however: "Ghe
threat to blister the tongue for lying,
and do it, though of course not to a
degree thai would be cruel, had used
before as punishment, preferring it to
whipping. My husband had never
protested, and it had never occurred
to me as any worse than any corporal
punishment, which of course should
be avoided if possible. In this case
the eulprit was a large girl, who had
been more than once returned to our
County Iniirmary as incOrrigible.

Political AneedOte of the last Century.

The following curious anecdOte is
related in Paine's "Rights Of Man."
page 16S, of the London edition Of
IT91:
al will introduce an anecdOte which
/ had from Dr. Franklin:
While the Doctor resided i'm France
as Minister from America, during the
war, he had numerous proposals made
to him by projectors Of every country
and of every kind who wished to 90
t. the land that flOweth with milk
and honey, America; and among the
rest there was one who offered him
self to be king. He introduced his
propOsal to the Doctor by letter, which
is now in the hands of M. Beaumar-
clIais, of Paris, stating, first, that, as
the Americans had dismissed or sent
their king away, they would want an
other; secondly, that he himself was
a Norman thirdly, that he was of
a more ancient family than the Dukes
of Normandy, and Of a more honara-
bic descent, his line never having
been bastardiZed; fOurthly, that there
was already precedent in England
| of kings coming out Of Normandy
And on these grounds lie rested his
offer, enjOiniHg that the Doctor would
| forward it 10 America. But as the
Doctor neither did this, nor yet sent
him an answer, the protector sent him
another letter, in which he did not, il Is
[ true, threaten 10 60 over and conquer
America, but only with great dignity
/ proposed that, if his offer was not ex-
/ cepted, an acknowledgement Of about
/ $50, 900 might be made to him for his
/ generosity"
