Not with the victor's palms alone
We celebrate our dead
Dimmed are the guerdons of success
We wreath around bis bead.
Low are the notes, subdued the praise,
Which crowns those finished years
Our gathered laurels droop beneath
The burden of our tears.
Honor to him who opened out
Great natures mighty plan;
Yet more than the philosopher,
We honor here the man.
Whose heart was large enough to hold
Welcome alike for all
Whose genial spell awoke the spark
Hidden in the great and small
Who never held bis scholarship
And humaneness apart,
Philosophy from manhood,
Or intellect from heart
whose single minded esrnestness
Burned as q shining light;
Whose hand, whate'er it found to do,
Did it with all bis might.
Enthusiastic for the right,
Indignant at the wrong,
His very presence kept our faith
In man and manhood strong.
And though bis place shall stand secure
Within the courts Of fame,
And his own light reflected rest
Forever On his name
Yet dearer etill to those who stand
Here where his feet have trod,
The chiidlike 0gArt, which wins alone
The kingdom Of our God.

A STRONG MAN-Barnum, in his

His name is Joignerey, and he is a
Frenchman five feet six inches high,
weighing $50 pounds.
Joignerey performs in the ring, feats

his feet, and with straps around the bod
les of two horses, raises the animals from
the ground, horses that weigh | 800 lbs.

says, such heavy horses that the mus
cles of his arms were heightened by lift
ing them. he raises one horse with his
teeth. He hangs from the trapeze and
lifts two men With his teeth, or viii lift
six men with his hands.
The reporter saw the dumb bells that
Joignerey uses. One weighs 275 pounds
and another 325. Hercules lifted one
and then the other seemingly with ease.
On the 275-pounder he will bear full
grown man. Hanging from the trapeze
he can bold ball weighing three humid
red pounds by means of a strap, in his
teeth, and at the same time have bal
of the same weight in each hand.

Do not use eyesight by light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in front of
the light of the window.
1t is best to have the light from above,
or obliquely, or over the left shoulder.
Too much light creates glare and
pains and confuses the sight. The mo-
ment you are sensible of an effort to
distinguish, that moment stop and talk,
walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be
blush tinge, the carpet green, and the
walls of some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively in
clined to rub the eyes, that moment
cease to use them
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking do not forcibly open them, but
apply the saliva with the finger, and
then wash your eyes and face in warm
water.

MANNERS.

Manners are more important than mon

in his manners will always have friends,
and will not often make enemies. Good
behavior is essential to prosperity. A
boy feels well when he does we'll. If
you wish to make everybody pleasant
about you and gain friends wherever you
90, cultivate good manners. Many boys
have pleasant manners for company and
ugly manners for home We visited a
small railroad town not long since. and
were met at the depot by boy of about
eleven or twelve years, who entertained
and cared for us, in the absence of his
father. with as much polite attention
and thoughtful care as the most cultiva-
ted gentleman could have done. We
said to his mother before we left heI
home, "You are greatly blessed in your
son, he is so attentive and obliglng.
"Yes," she said, Il can always depend
on Charley when his father is absent
He is always such a great help and com
fort to me-" She said this as if it did
her heart good to acknowledge the clev'
erness of her son. The best manner;

ORNAMENTAL TREE PLANTING.

Do not plant trees directly in front of
the house. The ground here, especially
the central part, should be in grass alone,
kept neat and smooth by frequent mow-
ing. A few flower beds may be cut in
the scd near the dwelling. or by the side
of the pathway, and few trees and
shrubs set irregularly near the fence, to
give shade and shelter, and this more at
the side of the house. especially where
they will screen from view the backyard,
stable. etc., and from background to
the view of the premises from the street.
Do not plant so many trees about the
house as to exclude the sunshine. Too
much shade is common fault with the
older class of residences, and careful
observation will show that families in
such houses are much more liable to
sickness than those living in houses
where sunshine and air have free scope.
Modern science has done good service in
teaching the value of sunshine and dry
earth as disinfectants or preventives of
disease. The greatest improvement
could be made IN the looks as we'll as
healthfulness Of many good residences
of the older class by the free use of the
woodman's axe. Do not plant large
growing trees in small yards, nor tall
growing trees near low dwellings. Most
of our village door yards are quite small
and when filled up, as is often the case,
with few large trees, they appear far
more diminutive than they would if
planted with shrubs or dwarf trees and
the low stature of our older style of
houses is doubly conspicuous where tall
trees are seen towering higher than the
cornice. For small yards and for ceme-
terry lots the dwarish and slow-growing
evergreen trees are most appropriate,
and quite variety of these can now be
had at all good nurseries; but such
kinds as the Norway spruce and Austrian
pine, heretofore too commonly planted,
should be only used in large grounds
and for screens and wind breaks. But
those who already have these and other
free-growing trees planted in small lots
can check their growth and improve
their premises by removing them from
a central position, to one side; or, if
too large for removal, by cutting off some
of the roots Do not plant or tolerate
apple or peach trees in the front yard
Pear and cherry trees are more symmet-
rical, and few of these may be allowed
on the side of large front grounds, but
the apple and peach usually look shabby,
and should occupy back premises with
the cabbage and currant bush.

Woodford of New York, who was pres

have to remain in the White House four
years longer on account of the picture.
"Ah!" said the President. '.that would

as l have taken occasion to pronounce
against imitation the suggestion would

DIED OF A BROKEN HEART.

Mrs. Sallie A White, wife of Captain
j: E. White, the celebrated horse-thief,
died at the residence of her mother, near
Germantown, Tenn, of broken-h heart.
Mrs. White, it will be remembered, res
cued her husband from jail last winter,
and won for herself the sympathy of
chivalrous gentlemen, by handing him
a revolver when she was permitted to
visit him. Mrs. White was ahigh-spir-
tied woman, refined and cultivated, and
of good family. The disgrace of her
husband being arrested and confined as
horse thief wrought upon the finer
feelings of her nature to such an extent
that the overstrained spirit refused to
bear its burden, and took its fight to
another and better sphere. While her
husband may be guilty of the crimes
charged against him his wife was inno-
cent, and the manner in which she res
cued him, her culture, elegance, and
good standing have enlisted in her be-
half the sympathy of all who knew her;
and her sudden death from the causes
which led to it render this sympathy
still greater. and indicate clearly that,
while she was true wife, ready to sue
cor her husband under any circumstances
she was also truly honorable woman.
who could not "suffer the stings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" " nor bear
the disgrace attached to blasted name.
So says Memphis paper.
