Sleeping Flowers.

Almost all flowers sleep during the
night. The marigold goes to bed
with the sun, and with him rises weep
ing. Many plants are so sensitive that
they close their leaves during the pas
sage Of a cloud. The dandelion opens
at five or six in the evening. The
goats beard wakes at three in the
morning, and shuts at five or six in
the evening. The English daisy shuts
up its blossoms in the evening, and
opens Its 'day's eye" to meet the early
beams Of the morning sun. The GRO
Gus, tulips and many Others close THEN
blossoms at different hours toward the
evening. The ivy leaved lettuce
opens at eight in the morning, and
closes forever at four in the afternoon.
The night-blooming cereus turns night
into day. 1t begins to expand its
magnificent sweet-scented blossoms
in the twilight it is full blown at
midnight, and closes never to open
again, with the dawn Of day. In q
clover field not u leaf opens till after
sunrise. Those plants which seem
to be awake all night have been called
the chats and owls of the vegetable
kingdom" -Somhern Culticator

Hopkins Stop,

When Hopkins was organist at St.
Abednego's church, he gave a concert
for the benefit of the Sunday School.
Hopkins would fib sometimes, and he
had told some of his brother organists
that he had 'vox humana stop in his
organ. AS several of them were COM
ing around to the concert, Hopkins
resolved to prevent them from detec-
ing the deception. So he engaged a
friend of his who sang tenor down
at the negro Ministries to come up and
get into the organ case and sing.
1t was arranged that Hopkins was
to give certain signal, and that the
minstrel was to tune up and MARBLE
an air. When the concert came off
the scene worked splendidly. Every
body exclaimed, How beautiful Ele-
ga1t, isn't it? Sounds exactly like a
human voice There was an encore
and another or was sung. Right in the
middle of it the voG humana stopped
suddenly. Then it was heard swear
ing and using the most dreadful
language inside the organ. Then it
yelled for help, and Hopkins went
around to the rear to learn what was
the trouble. He found that bis man
had been standing on the blower and
the blower objected to the extra
weight and finally began combat
with Hopkins friend, and now the
bellows blower had the vox humana
stop down on the floor inside the or
gan, and he was nibbling at the pipes
and among the machinery in a man.
ner that threatened general demoraliza-
ton tc the machine. And the more
the combat deepened, the longer the
'vox humana' howled They were sep
Grated by the wardens, and the con-
cert continued in a miner and melan-
choly key. But the next day they
discharged, Hopkins from the St.
Abednego's and now he wishes the
bellows man had murdered the min
strel on the spot.-Map Adeler.

A Danbury Incident.

When woman puts three macker-
Ell 10 soak ovor night IN a dish pan
whose sides are eight inches high, and
leaves the pan on 4 stairway, she has
accomplished her mission and should
90 hence This was what a Division
street woman did Friday night -
Filled the pan at the pump, and then
left it standing on the steps to the
stoop, while she went into the next
house to see how many buttons would
be required to 60 down the front of a
.redin-gote And a mighty important
affair that was to be sure. And there
was her husband tearing through the
house in search OF handkerchief, and
not finding it, of course. And then
he rushed out into the yard, wonder
ing where on earth that woman could
be, and started down the steps with
out seeing the pan, or even dreaming
that anyone could be so idiotic as to
leave it there. Of course be stepped
on it Or at least, that is the suppose
ton, as the neighbors who were
brought out by the crash that follow
ed, saw Mortified man, and high
dish pan, and three very demoralized
mackerel shooting across the garden,
and smashing down the shrubbery. -
And he was a nice sight, was that
unhappy man, when they got him on
his feet There wasn't dry thread
on him, and his hair was full Of bits of
mackerel, and one of his shoulders
was out Of joint, and his coat was
split the whole length of the back,
and he appeared to be out of his head.
He was carried in the house by some
Of the men, and laid on q bed, while
others went after a doctor and sixteen
women assembled in the front room,
and talked in whispers about the in
scrutable ways of Providence, and
what warning this was to people
who never looked where they were
oing.-Dan5ury Ne,cs.

Translation from Horace.
BOOK IV.-ODE VII.

Lo, Nature shifts the wintry scene,
White snows dissolve to living green
With leafy locks adorned again
The nodding forest greets the plain
Old Earth resumes her wonted sway
Wild waters shrinking swift obey
And tripping Nymphs and Graces sing
Their welcome to advancing Spring.
o man the lesson wisely hear,
Proclaimed by every dying year;
"Whate 'er thou seest, whate'er thou hast,
Shall soon lie buried with the Past"
Mild vernal winds have scarcely blown
Ere Summer mounts his burning throne
Then Autumn o'or his ruins crowned
With golden trophies heaps tho ground
While Winter stands relentless near
To claim the just expiring year.
The moon her monthly loss deplores -
Celestial skill the loss restores
But when our lights decaying burn,
To dust and shade we quick return;
Nor fame, nor wealth, nor rank can save
The life once ebbing to the grave.
Who knows if he who reigns supreme
May smite thee ere the mornings beam
(Safe then, at least, from worthless heirs
What now thy friendship nobly shares.)
Once laid thy bones in yonder tomb,
Once uttered thy reverseess doom,
Not kingly birth nor eloquence,
Nor virtue, can restore thee thence.

GENIUS OF WoMAN.-llisS Knight,
of Boston, has invented q machine for
making paper bags with satchel bot
tom, which is attracting attention for
its complicated mechanism and eX
traordinary ingenuity, not only all
over this country but also in all parts
Of Europe and throughout Canada
The fortunate inventor has already
refused fifty thousand dollars for her
patent. Another Massachusetts wo-
man now enters the field. Mrs. Bard
well, of Amherst, has recently received
a patent for selffastending button,
which needs no button hole, holds
fast and unbuttons at n touch. The
invention can be applied to buttons of
all sizes, and there is every prospect
that it will come into extensive Use
The world is indeed progressing, when
we owe to the inventive genius Of wo-
man that two and half paper bags
can be made in Il second by a single
machine, and that the making of but
ton-holes will become a lost art -
When we think of the time and eye,
sight now devoted to making button
holes, we feel sure that all women
will unite in erecting a statute to the
woman whose ingenuity has taken
away the necessity for the weary and
countless stitches required in this
laborious department of feminine in
dustry.-Pr0yidonce Journal.
