ORIGIN OF SOME PHRAsEs.-The or
igin of the term, sab-rosd, or "under the
rose" is said to be the following Cupid
gave a rose to Hippocrates, and from
this legend arose the practice of suspend
ing a rose over the table while eating,
when it was intended that the eonversa-
ton must be kept secret. The explana-
ton of the origin of by hook or crook, -
is that in the old time, persons entitled
to get firewood in the kings forest, were
limited to such dead branches as they
could tear down with hook or crook,
without hurt to his majesty's tree" " In
spite of the teeth originated thus: King
John of England once demanded of a
Jew the sum of ten thousand marks, and
on being refused, ordered that the Israe-
lite should have one of his teeth drawn
every day until he gave his consent. The
Jew submitted to the loss of seven, and
then paid the required sum, and hence
the expression, in spite of his teeth"

DESTROYING MAY-BUGs.-A French
writer gives the following method of
destroying the May-bugs or cockchafer
on large scale, his captures amounting
to ten or fifteen gallons in night. For
this purpose he smears with tar the inner
surface of an old barrel, one head of which
has been removed and at twilight he
places near the bottom of the barrel
lighted lantern. Insects of all kinds are
attracted by the light, and in flying
around it they strike against the sides of
the barrel, when their wings are gummed
and they fall to the bottom. These may
then be thrown into boiling water or
otherwise destroyed, and they can indeed,
be made to serve useful purpose as
manure. If similar method of destroy
ing the moth of the canker-worm, which
is so fatal to the apple crop in New Eng
land, can be successfully applied, it will
prove much more simple as well as
more effeetual than any remedy hitherto
employed.

Husbands Help Your Wives

A young man is priced by his employ
er for his faithful efficiency at his desk,
and admired especially by his friends
for his thoughtful kindness to his wife,
was seen about five o'clock, the other
morning, washing the windows of his
rented home A little merriment at his
expense elected the frank response:
/" Never mind /; can't afford to pay
washerwoman to do it, and perhaps if /
demonstrate my ability to take care of
a house the world will let me own one
some time" And so he will, some time
own house, and be able to hire it clean
ed, too. This brave independence in
economy is not only worthy of imitation
by hosts of young men in these close
times, but the example Of mutual burden
bearing in the domestic circle is all
praiseworthy. How many feeble women
are every day tugging at heavy burdens
of domestic toll, that are trying their
very heart strings, while their genteel
husbands are perhaps lingering lace and
silk over counter, or brushing gold
pen in an elegant eounting-rooml Hus-
bands, there ought to be masculine mus
Gle in the washroom, cleaning house,
sweeping heavy carpets, and in doing
dozens of heavy tasks in the household.
Try it these long mornings, and see how
amiable and devoted your wife will be.

QUEER FREAK OF NATURE.-Simon
Percy, of North Bennington, is the
owner of COW that last week gave birth
to three calves, one perfect in shape and
of good size, the other two having sepa-
rate bodies, eight legs, one head, three
ears, one on each side of the head, and
one on the back of the head. The two
bodies grew together at the neck. As
the calves stand they rest on six legs,
four behind and two forward, the other
two forward legs clasping each other
over the shoulders. The mother to these
calves is doing well. The calves are all
white as milk.

" ManiJus date lila plenis."
BYT. W. HIGGISsoN.
Mid the flower wreath'd tombs stand
bearing lilies in my hand
Comrades in what soldier grave
Sleeps the bravest OF the brave?
Is it he who sank TO rest
With his colOHs round his breast2
Friendship makes his tomb a shrine;
Garlands veil il; ask not mine.
One low grave, yon trees beneath.
Bears no roses, has no wreath;
Y ct no heart more high and warm
Ever dared the battle storm,
Never cleaned prouder eye
In the front Of victory.
Never foot had firmer tread
On the field where hope lay dead,
Than are hid within this tomb.
Where the untended grasses bloom.
And no stone, with feign'd distress,
Mocks the sacred Loneliness.
Youth and beauty, dauntless will,
Dreams that life could neer fulfill,
Here lie buried; here in peace
Wrongs and woes have found release.
Turning from my cOmrades' eyes,
kneeling where a woman lies,
l strew lilies on the grave
OF the brayest of the brave.

Memorial Ode.

Once more to Freedoms hallowed shrine
Our floral sacrifice we bring;
And, for patriot dead entwine
Fresh wreaths of spring.
Love culls young roses from her bower.
To braid with lily buds of trust,
And amaranths of faith, to flower
Above their dust,
Upon the altar stones of right
They laid the offering of their fate;
And. from the gloom of treason's night
They saved the State.
Their blood, which glorified the sod
of Southern slope and Western plain,
Was shed for freedom and for God,
And not in vain
For. where they fell the seed was sown.
Whose leaves sb ed healing DER the earth
And in their dead all nations own
A second birth.

LongfelIow's First Poem.

When our great poet was nine years
old his master wanted him to write a
" composition. Little Henry, like all
children, shrank from the undertaking.
His master said:
"You can write words, can you not p
I" Yes, sir" was the reply.
"Then," said the master, "you may
take your slate and go out behind the
school house, and there you can find
something to write about, and then you
tell aohat 1t as, 'ohat it is for, and what is
to be done oOith 1t, and that will be Com
position
Henry took his slate and went out.
He went behind Mr. Finney's barn,
which CHANGED to be near by, and seeing
fine turnip growing up, he thought
he knew what that aOas, what it aoas
for, and what would be done with it. A
half hour had been allowed to Henry
for his first undertaking in writing COM
positions. In half an hour he carried
in his work, all accomplished, and the
master is said to have been affected to
tears when he saw what little Henry
done in that short time.
Mr.. FIYNEYs TURRIP.
Mr.. Finney had turnip,
And it grew, and it grew;
And it grew behind the barn,
And the turnip did no harm.
And it grew and it grew
Till it could grow no taller.
Then Mr.. Fnney took it up,
And put ii in the cellar.
There it lay. there it lay,
Till it began to rot;
When his daughter Susie washed it,
