A Carniyorous Plant.

A remarkable plant was exhibited to
the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science by DIR. Hooker, who
gave the inaugural address as President
biology section. The address was upon
the subject of carnivorous plants, and
DR.. Hooker explained and demonstrated
by experiment some extraordinary dis
coveries of Mr.. Darwin's. Among other
things, says a Liverpool paper, he
showed a plant called Dionial," the
leaves of which were open. A fly was
captured and put upon leaf, which in
stantly closed, and on reopening it was
found that the fly was completely dis
solved. A bit of beef was afterward
consumed in the same way. The leaf
was then fed with cheese, which dis
agreed with it horribly. and eventually
killed it. DIR. Hooker explained that
the plants action was precisely similar
to that of the human stomach. The
leaf rejected apiece of wet chalk. Prof.
Huxley, in moving a vote of thanks,
said these phenomena formed a wonder
full problem. The plant had certainly
a nervous system of it's own.

THE SEVEN SLEEPERS.

For more than a thousand years the
legend of the Seven Sleepers has been
told in pious song aud story. Who we're
those Seven Sleepers Is it only a
monkish legend, an invention of the
90 dark ages ?" Or is the story true !?
or has it at least an historical basis
It was In the year of our Lord $50
that Decius, the most inhuman of all
the Roman Emperors in his persecution
of the Christians, in making tour
through his provinces, arrived at
Ephesus, in Asia Minor. Christianity
had already obtained footho1d there,
although the great majority of the
people still adhered to the heather re-
igion. Upon his arrival, the Emperor
ordered sacrifcial festival to be held
in honor of Jupiter, Apollo and Diana.
In this festival, every one was com
manded to take part under the penalty
of incurring the imperial displeasure in
case of refusal. Among the Christians
of the city were seven youths, descend
ents of noble families. Their names
were Maximinian, Diopysius, Joannes,
Scrapio and Constantine. These deter
mined to die rather than obey the man
date. As soon as Decius heard of their
| determination, he commanded them to
be brought before him. Co." said
he, ssand procure incense that You may
offer to the highest powers. The
Highest Power" they replied, Sc has his
thl one in the heavens, and is the living
and Almighty God, who hath created
heaven and earth. Hin we worship,
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and we
can never again bow down to dumb
| id OILS that are nothing"
With terrible glance the Emperor
measures the youthful confessors.
Then suddenly changing his manner, ne
endeavors to win them by his promises
and his arguments. For he knew well
that martyrdom would pour oil on the
flames he was trying to quench. Fail
| ing to obtain his object by threats and
by promises, he tells them that he VIII
graciously accord them time to consider
/ their resolution until he should again
return to Ephesus, and informs them oi
| the terrible consequences If they
should still continue their stubborn re-
sistance.
With calm courage the young men
departed from the presence of the EN-

THE DRUNKARD's BRIDE.
BIZ ANNA GRAZ.

Saser she listened to the pattering Reet
ONT in the lone deserted street
Listened to hear the well-known tread
OF one whom others had already said,
Better far better. she had never wed.
Beside her lay, in all its grace,
Her long white veil of mRrriage-laceS
But the face it had decked WAS SAD and wan,
As if that day had long since gone.
Days have wrought, with their bi ghtin2 teArs,
Changes not to be erased in years.
Still she listened, as her heart beat low
Why did he hnger away from her SO
Only yesterday morn she stood by his side
And bresthed the vows of happy bride
But tonight she prayed, in that lonely room,
For one ray Of sunshine to break the gloom
Then, still, she listened to the driving sleet
That seemed on her very heart to beat,
Distinctly she heard the heavy tread
That told her heart bore home the dead!
wildly she watched them, though without = fear,
Bearing in the heavy, unsightly bier;
Ana listened on, with eyes unblurred,
To each unfeeling. thoughtless word,
As they whispered round in a careless way,
Good for her that he died in this drunken fray"
That seemed too small to bear its doom,
And smoothed her tresses of siken hair,
And And told her, . life would yet be fair"
3es, they bore her away, and she never stirred;
The grief in her heart they never heard;
But she who loved him too we'll to dread
The frightfUl looks of the CHASTITY dead,
Lit her lamp and slipped away to his side,
Where, briefly before, she had stood q bride:
And, kneeling there, gazed long and well,-
Mid the horrid scenes Of the drunken strife,
DID they breathe no sigh to your lonely wife?
Was there no thought of her whose unfSlterins
dust5
Did'st never think, o dearest deadi
OF the pighted vows you had lately said2-
Then, kissing the death-lamp from the icy brow
1s there no way to answer me nowi-
Must wait and watch, and never know
The secret that wrought this heavy blow -
Must think that was forgotten quite,
In the short, short hours of single night -
No white-winged vision thrilled her soul,
As q strange. wild tremor DER her stole;
No broken whisper sounded near,
But the very air breathed in her ear,
= know and feel thy presence, dear,
Which, though loved of earth, is more 30 here:
feel thy breath fan lip and cheek
In the same old way, but they cannot speak;
feel thy tears fall for my sake,
But the seal of death they may BOT break:
But to thee, who vert earths idol dear,
FL tell the secret that brought here
My palti gold lured the teInpters snare;
forgot thy loving word, Beware;
And, though I loved thee as ought,
drained the cup of its bitter drGught.
Madness came but God knows well
That 1 loved thee then more 6han words can tell
And heavy grief as may meet me here,
Is to see thy heart bleed at a drankard'S bier;
And to know tnat thy mind, so like child,
Must leave Reasons throne in ray1ngs wild
For God, who doeth all things WE'LL
Will cookign my bride to maniac's CELL

The Pulse.

Every intellectual person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse
in health then, by comparing it with
what it was when he is ailing, he may
have some idea of the urgency OF his
case. Parents should know the healthy
pulse of each child, as now and then a
person is born with peculiarly slow or
fast pulse, and the very case IN hand
may be that popularity. An infant s
pulse is one hundred and forty child
of seven, about eighty and from twenty
to sixty years it is seventy beats min
ute. declining to sixty at four-score. A
healthful, grown persons pulse beats
seventy times in minute there may
be good health down to sixty; but il
the pulse always exceeds seventy. there
is disease-the machine is working too
fast !; it is working itself out; there is
fever or inflamuaation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself, as IN con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick
that is, over seventy increas-
ing with d. creased chances of cure, un-
til it reaches one hundred and ten OF
one hundred and twenty. when death
comes before many days. When thI
pulse is over seventy for months, an6
there is slight cough, the lungs are
affected.

How Timber NAV BE MultipIied.

One of our exchanges has the follow
ing to say in reference to this important
subject:
| Much has been written about raising
timber, but all the light that can be
shed upon the subject by all the arbori-
culturists in the land will not be amiss.
| There is no want in the not distant
future which has SO forbidding look
! as the increasing scarcity of timber
Our forests are not producing one
twentieth of the supplywe are annually
| consuming or are destroying. More
attention should be given at once to it's
propagation and preservation. It was
said by some philosopher that he who
makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before IS a benefactor to
his race. IF this be true, and none
will dispute it, how much more credit
is due him who makes a landmark by
the cultivation of trees? Reference to
this subject brings back to our recol-
lection suggestion we saw some time
ago in regard to simple
mode by which timber may
be increased on those tracts of
land upon which it is being cut away.
It is as follows Plant the ground in
the fall with scorns, black and white
walnuts, butternuts, the seeds of the
ceoA4S
lightly with the soil and decaying leaves,
so that boys and squirrels cannot find
them. They come up in the spring,
and if cattle are kept ont of the woods
AS they should be by all who would
preserve the young trees-they will
make rapid growth, under the imme-
diate superintendent of Dame Nature
herself, who has been pretty success
fully engaged in this business of tree
culture, more or less, ever since the
silurian age. In the same way cuttings
may be put out in the timber in the
spring. The mulching of the ground
by the falling of the autumn leaves is
the best dressing that can be put around
such young trees, which in a year or SO
will surprise you with their rapid
growth. We would discourage no one
who can do so from planning out groves
on the prairies, which is one of the
best works farmer can do but these
hints carried oat will enable many to
utilize places now going to waste, and
get good return for their efforts.
REMARKS. must be taken that
the acorns do not become dry or they
will never vegetate. They stick out a
pointy root into the ground in the fall.
The same with chestnuts and the like.

RECENTLY published statistics show
that 7OO,O 900 Germans, for the most
part natives of Prussia, have embarked
from Hamburg and Bremen during the
last five years. The whole country is
up in arms to put stop to this whole
sale exodus. Laborers,. particularly
agricultural laborers are getting to be
too few to supply the demand. A dis
inclination of many of the young men
of Germany to serve in the German
army has not little to do with their
leaving the country.
A YOUNG man, either crazy or wild,
was recently captured in Tennessee.
He is somewhere between twenty and

exhausted, and was going through all
the maneuvers of tired dog, painting,
shaking his sides, and lolling or drop
ping out his tongue to its full length,
and letting it hang out. At times he
would go through the most remarkable
grimaces and distortions of face and
body. His captors succeeded in get
ting pair of pantaloons on him. He
talked little. but in very uncouth
etYle.
