resent space on a hillside. The woods are
heavy and dark. Nature slumbers. You
see the moonlight reflected from particular
stumps in the recesses Of the forest, as if
she selected what to shine on. These small
fractions of her light remind one of the plant
called moon-seet,-as if the moon were
sowing it in such places.-IhOreau.

bv day lcw walk by night. 1t is II very
different season. Take 4 July night, for in
stance About 10 O'Clock k,-when man Is
asleep and day fairly forgotten the beauty
Of moonlight is seen over lonely pastures
where cattle are silently feeding. On all
sides novelties present themselves. Instead
of the sun there are the moon and stars. in
stead of the wood thrush there Is the whip
poor-will, instead of the butterflies in the
meadows, fre-ilies, winged sparks Of fire,
who would have believed it? What kind of
cool, deliberate life dwells in those dewy
abodes associated with Il spark OF fire j So
man has fire in his eyes, or blood, or brain.
Instead of singing birds, the half-throttled
note of a cuckoo flying over, the croaking
of frogs, and the intenser dream of crickets.
But above all, the wonderful trump of the
bull-frog, ringing from Maine to Georgia.
The potato vines stand upright, the corn
crows apace, the bushes loom, the grain
fields are boundless. On our open river
terraces, once cultivated by the Indian, they
appear to occupy the ground like an army,
their heads nodding in the breeze. Small
trees and shrubs are seen in the midst, over
whelmed as by an inundation. The shadows
Of rocks and trees, and shrubs and hills are
more conspicous than the objects themselves.
The slightest irregularities in the ground
are revealed by the shadows, and what the
feet finds comparatively smooth appears
rough and diversified in consequence. For
the same reason the whole landscape is more
variegated and picturesque than by day.
The smallest recesses in the rocks arc dim
and cayernous A; the ferns in the wood appear
of tropical size. The sweet fern and indigo
in evergreen wood-paths wet you with dew
up to your middle. The leaves Of the shrub
oak are shining as if a liquid were fowin ,

trees are as full of light as the sky. 9Th,

French expression for house-garm!ns or the ih'

The lights are out. and gone are all tie guests
That thronging came with msrrinent and jests
To esiebrafe the hanging OF the crane
In the new house into the night are gone.
But still the FIRE upon the hearth burns On,
And alone remain.
o fortunate, o happy day.
When a new household finds its place
Among the myri4d homes OF earth
Like new star just sprung TO birth
And rolled on its harmonious way
Into the bouEdless realm OF syacei
So sad the guests in speech and song,
As in the chimney, burning bright,
We hung the iron crane tonight.
And merry was the feast sad long.
And now sit and muse on what may be-
And in my vision see, or seem to see,
Through floating vapors inteTiused with light,
Shapes ndeterminate, that -leam and iade.
As shadows passing uto deeper shade

Suomboli has lately shown the signs Of

1t has long been felt that the conduct of this

studied geography in his youth was taught
that " StrOmboli IS volcanic island in the

become firmly rooted in his mind, the travel
ling American who makes a voyage to the

that the foundation Of his faith is shaken and
that there is no longer truth and honesty in
the world-especially among geographers.
Ii the mountain has really,assumed its duties
and is blazing away in earnest after the
manner mendaciously set forth by the usual
picture in school geographies, it may save
the future traveller from utter suspicion and

A Wonderful Flower.

One of the most exquisite wonders of
the sea is the opelet, flower resem-
bling very much the German China
aster. It has the appearance of
large double aster, with quantity of
petals of light green color, glossy as
silk, each petal tipped with rose-color.
These lovely petals are never still, but
wave about in the water, while the
flower clings to the rock. So innocent
and lovely looking, no one could sus-
pect it of eating anything; certainly if
it did, only bit of rainbow or q drop
of dew. But those beautiful waving
petals have other and more material
work TO do-to provide food for a large
mouth, which is cunningly hid deep
down among them. They do their duty
famously 4; for, as soon as silly little
fish comes IN contact with those rosy
tips, he is struck with q poison fatal
and quick as lightning. He dies in
stantly, and the beautiful arms wrap
themselves about him and drag him
nto the greedy mouth. Then those
lovely petals unclose and float inno-
Gently on the water, Just like our
water-lily. This flower was long ago
talked Of, but its existence doubted
until the last century. Now the
opelet is known to be thing that really
exists.

Modern Wnmer.

It is sad commentary upon our boasted
civilization that the women Of our times have
degenerated in health and physique until they
are literally race of invallds-pale, nervous,
feeble and back-achy, with only here and there
few noble exceptions in the persons OF the
robust, buxom ladies' characteristic of the sex
in days gone by. By very large experience,
covering q period of years. and embracing
the treatment of many thousands of cases OF
those ailments peculiar to women, DR.. Pierce,
of the Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, N. Y, has
perfected, by the combination of certain vege-
table extracts, natural specific, which he
does not extoJ as re-all, but one which
admirably fulfls singleness of purpose,
being most positive and reliable remedy for
those weaknesses and complaints that affiict
the women of the present day. This natural
specific compound is called DIR. Pierce's Favor
lte Prescription. The following are among
those diseases in which this wonderful medi-
cine has worked cures "a If by magic and with
certainty never before attained by any medi-
cines: Weak back, nervous and general de-
bility, falling and other displacements Of in
ternal organs, resulting from debility and lack
OF strength in natural supports, internal fever,
congestion, Inflammation and liberation and
very many other chronic diseases incident to
women, not proper to mention here, in which,
ss well as In the cases that have been enumera-
ted, the Favorite Prescription effects cures
the marvel OF the world. It will not do harm
in any state or condition Of the system, and by
adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that
severest of ordeals-the consulting of
family physician. Favor1te Prescription ia
sold by dealers in medicines generally.

Ever my Shadow awakes me.
When the day is scarce begun;
Close, close, round my waist he takes me:
Come out to our dance in the sun

The Tilton.Beecher Trial.

The opening speech of Judge Morris,
counsel for Tilton in the great scandal
suit at New York, occupied three days
in its delivery, and is described as q
powerful forensic effort. There were,
says report of the trial, many strong
passages Of assault and denunciation.
He spoke of Beecher as the " seducer'
and "paramour" of Mrs. Tilton, turn
ing toward the defenant while Beecher
and his wife and Mrs. Tilton looked
steadily into his face. He closed with
sympathetic appeal to the jury,
describing on the one hand, Beecher' 8
lofty genius, eminent position, great
power and boundless resources, and on
the other hand Tilton's poverty and
comparative he1plessness, but demand
ing that they should, nevertheless, vim
dictate eternal justice in the case. When
Morris described Tilton's domestic vir-
tues Mrs. Beecher smiled, as she also
did when he launched his obiurgations
against her husband: but curing the
closing passages of his speech it was
evident that only her self command
enabled her to suppress her feelings.
At the damnatory passages, Mrs. Tilton
famed herself vigorously with large
fan, and it was interesting at such times
to notice her retiring figure, shrinking
AlmOst W1Iu1A 16se1 unOef his VOcl1oTOU5
vehemence. When he read highly
colored and Becheresque extract from
one of Beecher's old sermons, giving 3
lurid picture of the seducer and har-
rowing sketch of the wretched victim
Of seduction, Beecher smiled all over,
perhaps at the roaring way it was de-
hvered, SO different from Beecher's OWE
method of delivery. When near the
close Morris roared ont G Death and
destruction TO the seduccr," Beecher's
massive face confronted him, Tilton
looked excited, but Mrs. Tilton seemed
unperturbed. The fourishes of Morris
at the close were tumultuous.
