A MAGNIFICENT BoUoUET Monday
last, while in st. Louis, Duke Alexis was the re-
cipient of beautiful floral ornament, repre-
senting magnificent swan, sailing on lake.
The bird was made of the choicest flowers,
numbering at least hundred varieties. The
camelia blended its rich beauty with the deli
cate tints of heliotropes, violets, primroses,
begonias, bouvardias jcssamine, &c. surmount-
ing all we're rosebuds, tuberoses and hyacinths.
To represent the wings Of this proud bird were
used poinsetta leaves of dazzling crimson. over
laid with artistic skill to represent the fcath-
ers. The tail was composed of variegated dra-
cennia leaves. The lake on which this bird
was seated was made of large basket, the
edges closely laid with green, to represent the
grass of the Shore while the surface was COM
posed mostly of large cameas and roses, to
represent the ripping of the water we're the
coIors of the rainbow reflected in the miniature
lake.

1t is here that character is being
formed for eternity. The nursery OF
heaven, earth, teens with her millions
of deafness souls.
1t is fearful reality that the barren
6g-tree and death distilhng upas here
and there meet our sight, but these,
Thought fit only to be burned up and de-
stroyed, cannot mar the growth or retard
the fructi6cation of useful and gracious
plants, destined to bloom hereafter in
celestial glory, fast by the throne OF
God.
Again we say. as surely as 2 tree is
known by its fruits, 50 certainly do we
know men by their acts. Character,
whether good or i'll must, in the long
run, become evident; like murder, it
will out; art cannot conceal it j; dissimu-
lation, with its snaky circumlocutions.
cannot hide it. Again we say. even in
this life, character will not always be
concealed, and character makes the real
uan, whether concealed or not.-Nelc

SINGLE BEDS.

The enormous beds in fashion In the
middle ages. in which not only the whole
family, but farorite domestic animals,
hunting dogs, cats, etc., reposed together,
exile our livellest establishment. In
those days. the aristocracy did not find
it undlgHiEed to share their couches
with friends or guests who sought their
hospitality. 1t was, on the contrary,
considered a mark of sincere friendship.
But it is nov commonly believed that
where two persons sleep together, one
abstracts from the other some amount OF
vital force. This is especially the case
where old and young persons share the
same bed. Besides, in room where
there is no current of air, the emana-
tions from the lungs and skin of a sleeper
poison the atmosphere for 1. considera-
BILE distance. In the pubic wards G.
great hospitals, never less than two ana
half feet is allowed between each bed
for this reason. In the sleeping apart
ments Of royalty and nobility single beds
are everywhere the rule, and nowhere
the exception The emperor of Germa
ny sleeps upon a narrow bed and hard
mattress. The single bed covering is q
vadded silk quilt. The emperor and
empress of Austria take their royal slum
hers on similar beds, with the same de-
seription Of ooverlet. One of the priu-
cipal advantages of these narrow beds is
that the mattresses are more easily air
ed. Even the poorest housewives in
Germany recognize the fact that bedding
requires daily airing and on pleasant
day in winter, and nesrly every day in
summer, one may SEQ stretched out of
the courtyard windows for an entire halt
day the feather beds and coverings SO
dear to the heart of German frau. 1t
is not necessary here to enter a protest
against feathers. since this essay is not
written for Germans. The physicians
of Germany make the most energetic
complaints against the use of these, with
as yet, among the lower classes, very
little success.-Ihe GALAXY.

GAME SICKNESS IN ENGI While
England has escaped the horse disease. a
new malady has broken out there which
is much more revolving. 1t is reported
from various sections that it is impossible
to preserve game any longer; the hares,
deer, pheasants and other game dying by
of a strange sickness, their lily
ers and other internal organs being filled
With worms. In a country where so much
is made of game as in England, the attic

CHARACTER.

The glory of man, or his worst shame,
arises from the nature OF character which
marks his Identity In some persons,
good aud evil are SO alphabetically mixed
that we can scarce determine whether
we ought TO consider them virtuous and
honorable, or degraded and miserable.
1t is the deplorable misfortune OF these
that, having no fixed principles of action
they veer about, unstable as the tTeach-
erous sea. Like the many hued chame-
leon. they change In thought aud act till
unreliable comes to be their proper
designation, and the most indulgent OF
their friends are forced to admit the Fact
that fatal weakness-the weakness OF
change-bars them forever from great.
ness, makes them traitorous to love anu
friendship, and spoils them of an attrI
butte which distlng uiShes mankind from
the brute creation.
Character exalts the saint character
stamps the demon. 1t is character
which we love when external attraction
fades in both man and woman. The
hidden jewel of the soul, 1t commands
affection and respect down to the day
when age, having 'clawed man In his
clutches AS Shakespeare has tiles
down in battered desolation, like some
grand old crumbling edlhce, bearing on
its classic front the magnificent architect
ure which protects it from vulgarity even
In ruin.
The man Of character is also the man
of iron nerve; he may be neither great
statesman nor politician he may be
humble in his associations and his aspi
rations; his heart is right, his integrity
unshaken. He looks on truth with clear
vision, acting in accordance with its su
pernal Dictates he does not fear the
face of his fellow men, for his soul is
white with integrity, and he looks hum
bly, and trustingly up to the Eternal
Source Of Truth, as his fellow-beings, in
lowlier sense, look up to him, because
he is trustworthy, and, in short, has
character-good and stable character
that cornerstone in individual greatness,
that Doric and splendid column in the
majestic structure of true and digniied
man, who is at once an heir Of glory, u
trail child of dust" To earth belongs
only his corruptible body to another,
and more enlarged sphere, his soul,
stamped with divinity. Hear Hope S
immortal bard on this subject:
Gold in the dust this persisted form may lie
But that which warmed it once shall never die
That spark unburisG in its mortal frame,
