4 rosebud, in June weather,
Opened its fragrant heart
And softly sighed and wondered
A. it, pink leaves fell apart;
Then looking to the sun,
II said, this lovely one,

Itcomsth down from thee"
A violet ON the hill
Awoks In sweet surprise,
Won into happy life
BY tender April skies;
And thrilled with love, it said,
Bowins it, gentle bead.
my Joy 10 not in mo,
It comes, o! sun, from thee"
Thus like tho violet,
And like tho rose, my heart
Beneath the Sun divine,
1ts petals fall apart,
Warmed by the streaming rays
TO life and love, It says:
my JOY IL not in me;
1t comes, o! God, from thee"

THE vhIGlH or LA GER n EER

The German words lager beer signify
stock beer. g., beer that has been
stored away. The story, IS told in
Germany, is an old one, aud runs thus :
Many years ago = shoemaker, near
B.mburg, sent his apprentice to get a
bottle Of Bamburg beer, which Va. sold
At that place; but the boy, not know.
ing this, went to the city itself On
returning he met On acquaintance Of
his, who told him that when he would
come home his boss would whip him
for stsping 50 long. The poor boy, who
VAS frightened At this, thought it bet
ter not to 60 homo At al, but took hi'
bottle, buried it under tree, aud ran
Amy. He vent among tho soldiers,
where be distinguished himself 50 that
in short time be became an officer.
When one day his regiment was quar-
telsd in this small town, the officer
thought proper to pay visit to his OLD
boss, but not before hs had got the bot
tie OF beer which he had buried some
some year before under the tree. When
he entered he said, "Well, Dir, here I
bring you your bottle Of Bsmburg beer
that you sent me for" The shoemaker
not knowing what this meant, was told
by the officer al about it. The bottle
Was then opened, and the beer was
found to be of superior quality. When
this fact was known, some Of the brew.
ers built deep vaults, where they put
their beer, and called it, after it had
l'in there some time, lager, which
meant nothing more than lying. The
officer afterward married the daughter
Of tho shoemaker, and drank = good
deal Of lager beer, receiving in that
occupation the assistance of bis father

CAUGHT IN HIs OWN TRAP.

A girl, young and pretty, and above
all gifted with IN air of admirable caa-
dor, lately presented herself before .
Partisan lawyer.
"Monsieur, 1 have come to consult
you on . grave affair. I want you to
otlige = man I love to marry me in

Tho gentleman Of the bar had, Of
course, sufficiently elastic conscience.
DO reflected . moment, and then being
sure that no ono overheard him, 70
piled hesitatiugly.
"Madamoiselle, according to our law,
you always possess the means of fore
ing man to marry you. You must
remain on three OCCASIONS alone with
him: you can then 60 before a judge
aad swear that he is Jour lover"
"And will that suffice, Monsieur :"

"Well"
"Ihat you will produce witnesses
who will make oath to having seen you
remain . good quarter Of an hour With
tho individual said to have trifed With
your affections"
"Very we'll, Monsieur, I will retain
you as counsel in the management Of
this affair. Good day."
| A few days afterwards the young
lady returned. She was mysteriously
received by the lawyer, who scarcely
gave her time to seat herself, question.
ing her With the most lively curiosity.
"Capital, capital"
"Persevere in your design, Madam
o'selle, but. the next time you come to
consult me, give me the name Of the
young man you are going to make 50
happy 10 spite of himself"
A fortnight afterwards, the lady
knocked at the door of tho counsel's
room. No sooner was she in than she
fuug herself into chair, saying that
the walk bad made her breathless.
Her counsel tried to resssure her, made
her iuhale salts, and even proposed to
uplovse her garments.
"It is useless, Monsieur" she said,
II am much better"
"Well now tell me the name of the
fortunate mortsl.'
"Well, then the fortunate mortal, be
it known to you, is yourself" said tho
young beauty bursting into a laugh.

grsvely continued tho narrator.
The lawyer, thus caught, had the
good sense not to get angry. Tho
most singular fact of all is that ho

CRIMINAL SEoREoY.-The martinets OF
the medical profession insist that it is be-
meath the dignity of regular physician to
advertise. II member of the faculty
should discover an absolute remedy for any
disease, it would be abreach of professional
decorum to offer the specific for sale
through the journals Of the day. Scoring
such prejudices, one of the leading practi-
TONERS isnow making known to the public,
through the columns ofover three thousand
newspapers, one of the most comprehensive
remedies for dseasethat has ever assuaged
the suilerings OF humanity. DIR. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BITTERs, although q
comparatively new medicine, has already
attracted the attention of millions in both
hemispheres. 1t has been advertised
through all the channels accessiI le to adj
vertising enterprise, and the result has
been the preservation of thousands flives,
and the prevention of an untold amount of
physical torture. DR.. Walker thinks that
the greatest good octhe greatest number"
is the true object of medical science, and
hence he steps boldly out of the contracted
circle of professional exclusiveness, and
places his Great Restorative within the
reach of all. Its beneficial effect in cases
of chronic dyspepsia, biliousness, kidney
disease, govt, diseases of throat and lungs,
rheumatism, nervous complaints and all
disorders of the secretive and excretive or
gans, is beyond all estimate Com.

ANTIQUITY OF THE MANUFACTURE OF
IRoN.-The antiquity of the manufacture
of iron on large scale is shown in an
article by Mr.. Richard Mallet, upon the
working of iron in India, where, accord
ing to this author, it had been carried on
upon q scale so stupendous as to rival the
production of the largest steam. hammer
FORCES in Europe at the present day.
Among other illustrations mentioned is
that of wrought iron pillar at the prin-
cipal gate of the ancient mosque of the
Kutub near Delhi, which is as large as
the screw shaft of a first-class steamer.
This is slightly spindle-shaped, and is
surmounted by capital of elaborate In
dian design, carved by the chisel in the
solid iron. The entire length is about
sixty feet. It's diameter near the surface
is sixteen inches it contains about eighty
cubic feet of metal, and weighs upward
of seventeen tons. Near its middle is an
inscription of six lines in Sanscrit, from
which its age has been assigned to the
third or fourth centuryIof the Christian
era,

Transportation Of Cattle.

All consumers of beef who have any
appreciation of the injury done to cattle
by the present methods of railroad trans
portation, should clamor for the introduce
ton on our American railways of the i'm
proved cattle truck, designed to secure the
comfortable and rapid conveyance of ami.
mails to market. At present cattle are
carried long distances, in jolting, unshel-
tered cars, and without either water or
food. The constant and wearying tremor
to which their frames are subjected, and
the frequent jerks and shocks incident to
the starting and stopping of trains, can
not be otherwise than hurttul and wien
to this is added the unnecessary torture
of starvation and thirst, the case of the
poor creatures, on the ground Of humanity
alone, seems clearly deservingaof amelio-
ration. There are those who contend that
cattle thus treated do not materially suf-
fer, and that their tissues are in no way
damaged for purpose of food. Both these
assumptions we deny. Cattle are not, in
physical organization, so far removed from
man, that we cannot judge something of
their sensations by what we ourselves feel
when placed under similar circumstances.
Let those who maintain that animals do
not suffer from the unnatural conditions
in which they are ordinarily placed during
railway transit, make journey of sixty
or ninety hours duration, in a common
cattle car, standing the whole time, ex-
posed if in winter to storm and wind il in
summer to heat and dust, and from the
beginning to the end of the trip deprived
OF the refreshing relief afforded by water
and food. If by such an experience they
are not converted to some degree Of SYM
pathy for their suffering fellow creatures,
they deserve to be condemned to cattle
cars in all their future travels. But apart
from any feeling of sympathy, there is an
other reason, springlng from the instinct
OF seIt-prcseryation, which should impel
the public to demand change in the ex-
listing practice. 1t has occurred over and
over again that persons eating the meat of
animals slaug entered, either during or i'm
mediately after period Of great excite
mente have by it been made seriously
sick; which goes to show that the flesh of
the animal is capable of deterioration by
causes acting through the nervous and
clrculatory systems, as well as through the
digestive system. And what is more likely
to profoundly affect all these than a long
and continuous journey under the condi-
lions just described2 That cattle are SO
damaged by this species of bad usage, some
OF the railway companies in Europe have
at last found out and the consequence is,
that an improved cattle truck is now be-
ing rapidly introduced on several foreign
This truck is divided into com
partments, in which the cattle are so
placed that they may be regularly watered
and fed Elastic springs and buffers are
provided to relieve the trembling and
soften the shocks a roof of some light
material is thrown over the whole; and
astly, the cattle trains are run at increas-
ed speed so that even the llghtcned dis
comforts Of the patient kline are made as
short as possible.

Paving Dearly for Curiosity.

The many visitors to witness the erup-
tions Of Mount Vesuvius have paid dear.
ly for their temerity. A correspondent
says that one pleasant morning the num-
Der OF eXcursionists was unusually large.
They had begun to dispense with the first
indication of sunrise, but hundreds still
fingered on the spot. Without q single
movement to warn them, the earth opened
under foot, and the dead lava which they
had been treading upon as n curiosity
turned again to molten fire. Those who
were not engulfed in the chasm as it
burst forth attempted to flee for their
lives. Happily, the fleet and sure of foot
were many. They reached safety; but
woe to whoever fell by the way The
earth they fell on was already at furnace
heat, and fresh waves of lava overlook
them ere they could rise again. A few
were miraculously delivered by noble
efforts on the part Of the stropg-nerved
men in the company. Dragging them in
haste toward the observatory, their de-
liverers placed them in the carriages
which were waiting there, and accommo.
dation was provided for them at Resina.
I have been told by a friend, who was at
the very edge of the chasm when it burst
spen, that the effect on the imagination
was as though the whole mountain had
begun to move from its basis. As he
fled, he felt as if the whole mountain was
following him, and not until he had re-
covered his senses ut Resina could he con-
vince himself that what he had seen was
only partial eruption Of the crust which
overlies the hidden fires of Vesuvius. An
account in Neapolitan journal affirms
that there were two simultaneous open.
ings, and that flames, bursting out from
both, enveloped in circle of fire all who
were within reach. A carriage which
to be inside this circle was
burnt up in an instant, as if it had been
spirited away. Shortly before the erup-
ion lady was seen in it, but of her moth
ng whatever has been heard since. The
,urns inflicted were of peculiarly pain
nj character, even when they looked
light The patients, on reaching the
hospital, were Immediately enveloped in
WOOL Notwithstanding the care with
which they have been dressed, and the
kill with which they are nursed, they
annot move without enduring agony
which compels them to scream.

HE PERILs OF THE MARINER.-Tb
Harbor Grace papers contain the detail..
of the fearful disaster which occurred at
Labrador. On the 18th of March last
the brig Huntsman, Captain Robert
Dave, sailed from Harbor Grace with a
crew of 60 men on q sailing voyage.
When off Cape Charles, Labrador, on
Saturday, April 90, in company with the
Rescue, Vesta, and Lord Clyde, and near
Battle Harbor the Huntsman forged
ahead. A gale from the northeast sud
denly sprung up at nine o'clock and the
Huntsman was driven upon the rocks.
The night was pitchy dark. Before the
vessel struck three seamen saw the rocks
and jumped overheard to try and save
themselves, but were instantly killed by
a rush of floating ice. The remaining
fifty nine took to the rigging, and in five
minutes afterwards both masts went over
at six feet above deck and only seventeen
of the crew escaped; of these seventeen
all but three were variously injured by
having arms and legs broken and bodies
bruised. They managed to reach the
Rescue by crawling over the ice dis
lance of half a mile. Forty-fve men
were lost, most of them leaving families
at or near Harbor Grace.

WHAT SHE Would Do.-The Parisians
are recovering from the state of emotion
into which they were plunged by the
news of the murder of Mdme. Dubourg,
and are beginning to recollect anecdotes
more or less apropos. Here is the latest:
At the Theatre Francois Mile. d. was, in
the presence of the author, repeating her
part in a comedy by Scribe. "My child, !"
said M. Scribe, "permit me to give you
a hint. Here is the scene. Suppose
that you are in your own room. Ayoung
man is OF your feet making a passionate
declaration of love to you; your husband
suddenly enters. Now, what would you
do ?" ~ would tell him to go away
again" replied the artless maiden.

A TOUGH Doa.-The Cleveland Plain
dealer tells the following: On Wednes-
day large dog at the Industrial School
bit one of the children. Application
was made at the police station to have
the animal shot, and an officer was de-
tailed to do the work. He shot the dog
twice and left it for dead. This morning
the canine was hunting around for "a
tons and another policeman was sent
over, who shot the canine seven times
and then beat it with a club till he
thought he had killed it. A short time
after the Superintendent of the school
appeared at police headquarters and
mildly suggested that it might be well to
send an officer to drown the brute, as it
was still alive and demonstrative. A
third policeman was sent over and put
two more bullets in the beast. Perhaps
some one had better take the contract
to shoot the dog all summer.

SOLDIERS HoMEsrEADs.-Th recent amend
ment to the Homestead Act, under which the
veterans of our late Army and Navy can secure
free homesteads of 100 acres near the lines OF
the great land grant railroads, by one or two
years residence, instead of five, is very natur-
ally attracting much attention among the SOL
diers and sailors. Colonies are forming in many
parts of the country for the purpose of taking
advantage of the new law, while at the same
time reaping all the advantages of moving West
in organized communities. The construction
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad, now complet-
ed through Minnesota, has opened to settlers a
large body Of the best land in the West. This
Company offers very important facilities and
advantages to soldiers and others seeking
Western homes, whether they intend to settle
on Government homesteads or purchase the
land. Its announcements published
