Moss Roses.

Moss roses are largely grown for the
London markets; they thrive pretty
we'll under trees, and are very hardy and
aoriferous. Light, rich and deep ground
suits them best. Two rows of these
roses are generally planted between
currant and gooseberry bushes, about
two feet apart, but as suckers, speedily
make their appearance, all traces OF
rows become lost and the result is a
broad band of roses, some 2. or feet
wide, occupying the central space
between the bush fruit. Under fruit
trees where no fruit bushes exist, they
are grown in lines q or 8 feet apart,
and interspersed with sprouting broc-
coli, Brussels sprouts, potatoes, or
shallots, and they are also grown in the
open ground, about the same distance
apart. After they have done blooming,
and have made good wood, they are
layered on both sides of the rows, and
in October, or any time between that
and the following March, the layers are
lifted, and after their roots have been
dressed and their tops shortened little,
they are planted out in permanent rows
from two to three feet apart, or, if space
is scarce at the time, thickly in rows a
foot or eighteen inches apart, where
they remain for twelve months before
being finally planted out. They are
pruned very closely in Winter, and in
Spring they begin to form flower buds,
almost as soon as the leaves make their
appearance. 1t is the buds that are
gathered for market, the blooms never
being permitted to expand. In hot
summers, and indeed whenever conve
nience permits, the space over their
roots, two or three feet in width, is
mulched with litter, which saves them
from drought, and also acts as stimu-
liant.

Poetry.
A LESSON.

l said, my life is a beautiful thing.
/ viii crown me with its flowers.
will sing of its glory all day long,
For my harp is young, and sweet, and strong.
And the passionate power in my song
Shall thrill all the golden hours
And over the sand and over the stone.
For ever and ever the waves rolled on.
said, my life is terrible thing,
All ruined, and lost and crushed
| viii heap its ashes upon nv head,
viii wall for my joy and my darling dead.
Till the dreary dirge for the DAYS that are fled
Stirs faint through the dull, dumb dust.
And over the sand and over the stone.
For ever and ever the waves rolled on.
said, was proud in my hour Of mrth,
And mad in my first despair
Now, know nor earth, nor sky, nor sea-
Has heed or helping for one like me,
The doom or the boon comes let it be-
For Us, We can but bear.
And over the sand and over the stone
For ever and ever the waves rolled on.
And thought they sang, We laugh to the
sun;
We simmer to moon or star:
We foam TO the last of the furious blast;
We rage when the rain falls fierce and fast:
But We do our days work; and at last,
We sweep o'er the harbor-bar"
And learnt my lesson mid sand and stone,
As ever and ever the waves rolled On.

Then Donna Mora answered:
sI am the ladyr


"Then may offer few wild flowers y
said the gypsy, "and my good wishes,
for the senior has been my benefactOr.
A poor gift, but do not scOrn it."
She held the flowers toward Donna
Mora, who took them and put them
down upon the table.
donna Anna,n said she, "bring my
dog here. Brothers, seize the gipsy.n
In a moment more the struggling
woman was held in strong grasp, and
Donna Mora. holding her dog in her lap,
pressed the flowers to his nOstrils.
"If he lives, free her. If he dies, have
her arrested" she said, quietly.
Donna Anna hid her face. The
brothers sternly regarded first the
woman, then the dog; the latter had
begun to tremble. In a moment more
he uttered whine, long and terrible to
listen to. Donna Mora dropped the
flowers. The poor creature lay motion
less across her lap. He was dead.
Have the woman arrested said
Donna Mora, again. 1t is she who has
murdered those two poor women with
her poisoned flowers, as she would have
murdered me-"
But to the senOr, when they met once
more, she said this:
81 know the ways of gipsies and their
art of poisoning flowers. l know also
that an injured gypsy girl is always
avenged by her tribe. He who is false
to one woman let no other woman trust.

Three Good Lessons.

"One of my first lessons said Mr..
Sturgis, the eminent merchant, was in
1918, when was eleven years old. My
grandfather had fine flock of sheep
which were carefully tended during
the war of those times. was the shep
herd boy and my business was to watch
the sheep in the field. A boy who was
more fond of his book than the sheep
was sent with me, but left the work to
me, while he lay under the tree and
read. l did not like that, and finally
went to my grandfather and complained
of it. l shall never forget the kind
smile of the old gentleman as he said /:
"Never mind, Jonathan. my boy; if
you watch the sheep you will have the
sheep"
"What does grandfather mean by
thati- | said to myself. 81 don't ex-
pect to have sheep. My desires were
moderate, and a fine buck was worth a
hundred dollars. / could not exactly
make out in my mind what it was, but
| had great confidence in him, for he
was judge, and had been to Congress
in WashingtOn's time; so l went back
contentedly to the sheep. After | got
into the field could not keep his words
out of my head. Then | thought of
Sundays slessOn: Thou hast been faith
full over few things, l will make these
a ruler over many things l began to
see through it. "Never you mind who
neglects his duty; be you faithful and
you will have your reward"
. l received a good lesson soon after l
came to New York as a clerk to the late
Lyman Reed. A merchant from Ohio
who knew me, came to buy goods, and
said: make yourself so useful that
they cannot do without you / took
this meaning quicker than did that of
my grandfather.
Well l worked upon these two ideas
until Mr.. Reed offered me partner
ship in the business. The first morning
after the partnership was made known,
Mr.. James Geery, the old tea merchant,
called to congratulate me, and he said,
"Be careful who you walk the streets
with" That was lesson number three. .
And what valuable lessons they are !!
Fidelity in all things;n "do your best
for your employers "carefulness
about your associates" Let everybody
take these lessons home and study them
we'll. They are the foundation stones
of character and honorable success.

A Granger Fable.

In q certain geological garden two
bears were chained several rods apart.
which were fed each with q different
kind OF fruit. Now there were in the
same garden half dozen monkeys who
thought it would be nice il they could
get o portion of these luscious fruits
for themselves. Accordingly they per-
suaded the bears that, variety being the
spice of life, it would not only be CRATE
full to their palates, but conducive to
their healthy digestion, if they would
exchange with each other . portion Of
these fruits at each meal. But the
chains being too short for the bears to
come in q convenient distance to each
other, the exchange could be affected
only through the kind Offices Of the six
monkeys aforesaid. Accordingly the
fruit was passed by bear No. l to the
first monkey, who passed it to the next,
and so on to the last, who delivered it
to bear No. 2. The fruit in exchange
passed back to bear No. in like man
ner.
Now each monkey through whose
paws the fruit passed thought q few
bites was no more than q just compen-
sation for his services, and it happened
when the fruit reached its destination
little more of it was left than the core.
So both bears grew lean in spite Of i'm
proved digestion, and the monkeys
grew fat, and put on many airs, and
winked at each other as they passed
fruit to the hungry bears in the course
of their employment.
The keeper Of the garden seeing this,
and ascertaining the cause, heightened
the chains of the bears, and 80 the ser
vices of the monkeys were dispensed
with, and the bears grew fat again.
But the monkeys set up howl at be-
ing deprived of their legitimate en-
ployment, and berated the bears for
their ingrstitude.

Miscellany.
Cholera and Birds.

German naturalists, says the London
Globe, have called attention to a new
incident with regard to the outbreak oi
epidemics. 1t is on record that an ex.
traordinary flight of birds has occurred
simultaneously with the appearance OF
the disease. The occasions have been
SO numerous and in so many different
countries that it is impossible to regard
the coincidence as merely accidental.
Thus, so far back as the year 1S4S birds
of all kinds deserted the towns of st.
Petersburg and Riga, and it was in that
year that cholera broke out. The
epidemic proceeded in its westward
course the following year, and the same
phenomenon was observed in Western
Prussia in 1919, and in Hanover in
1850. In all these cases the facts were
chronicled as having occurred at the
time, but they were not supposed to
have any relation mutually. But when
these phenomena were more closely OBJ
served by men of science more accurate
details were given. Thus, it was found
that in the little town of Przemysl, in
Galicia, all the jackdaws took flight
from the streets into the country on the
26th of September, 1872, and that
cholera broke out there two days after
wards. On the 3Oth of November these
birds returned from thhir spontaneous
quarantine, and by that time the last
case of the disease had been recorded.
The same results had been observed in
southern Germany last year. Both
Munich and Nuremberg were visited by
this epidemic IN the autumn, and in
these towns it was observed not merely
that the larger birds fled from the
environs into the open country, but that
sparrows and swallows deserted the
town. 1t was repetition of the article
in every sailors creed-that rats desert
q sinking ship. The inhabitants Of
Nuremberg looked with Joy for the re-
turn of the sparrows, who seem to have
arrived as soon as the danger had dis
appeared. Foreign physicians seem to
think the state of the atmosphere when
the poison is in the air has a direct ef-
feet upon the birds, who instinctively
fly from it. But the whole phenomenon
seems capable of a much more simple
solution. 1t is well-known thing that
during the getting in of the harvest
sparrews and the kinds of birds that
are found in the neighborhood of towns
fly off to the fields. This may be tested
much nearer home than Germany or
Western Russia. When the harvest
has been reaped they would naturally
return to the shelter of streets and
houses. Even swallows, though they do
not seek the corn-felds for grain, find
the insects which they feed upon in the
fields, and these birds also return to
their town quarters to reassemble for
their winter flight. The simple people
of Nuremberg and Bavaria probably ac-
cepted as an omen an event which
happened to be coincident with the
arrival of the dreaded epidemic, but
which, in fact, was of annual occur
renee, and had no real connection with

T.R. Gould, the Boston sculptor, has
produced in marble the "Ghost of
Hamlet" 1t consists of head bearded,
helmeted and plumed, chiseled in high
relief on a sunk oval set into a square.
The Advertiser says of this effort !:
Here is shadow in marble, yet a
distinct personality of keen and varied
expression. 1t is a spirit striving to
become an apparition, and showing the
strain of the endeavOr. As one looks
longer the piteousness of the whole
expression grows-especially, again, in
the wonderful eyes; the cOuntenance,
grim and 'pertubed' as it is, is seen 20
be more in sorrow than in anger and
even the dead frOwn seems tempered
by the love and longing which led the
father to seek his only son. in every
line and aspect the head is most majes-
tic and kingly; and by some subtitle
skill the effect of psleness, as required
by the text of Shakespeare, seems to be
impaired to the wasted cheeks"

Birth-PIace OF Columbus.

Tradition makes Cogoleto, a small
town few miles from Genoa, the birth
place of Columbus, and there is an in
scription which marks the house OF his
reputed birth. 1t may be true, and II
NAV be false-for, In this land OF tradi-
ton and superstition, it is as easy to
fabricate tradition as an inscription,
and credulity is ready to believe that il
is as old as Adam The house OF his
father was in the suburbs OF Genoa, as
is shown by the deed. He, himself,
saws he was born in Genoa, an expression
which may well mean the territory,
and not the city, of Genoa. There is,
therefore, some color for the tradition,
and it is not worth while to dig deeper
to find doubts. He was a Ligurian,
and nothing could be more likely to
sharpen his curiosity and suggest life
of adventure than to look out from
these rocky highlands upon the Medi-
terranean Washing the field at its base
and covered with the little, but daring
and enterprising, corsairs OF the Levant,

On those that cannot glow again,

On damp Gods where our idols rest,
Mid sad unanswered prayers.
Can true-hesrted childhood
Guess such things can be
As kiss 'tvlxt secret foe and foe.
As hands that clasp DER gulfs below,
As kisses with no loving leaysn,
Coldly taken, idly gwen,
In custom courtesy
Can frank hearted childhood
Dreau that kindred lips
Lips that have met thousand times,
Warm and true as poets rhymes
May for each other learn to frame
Scorn or hatred, mock or blame,
Loves unwarned eclipser
Dim not childhoods golden faith
