The Piazza.

IN this country, with its perpetual con-
tradiction of icy winters and brief torrid
summers, one can hardly live in the
country without a piazza. In hot weather
it supplies a shaded outdoor resting
place for the family after storms of wind
and drItted snow, which render the roads
impossible to delicate walkers, it fur
nlshes sheltered and easily-swept prom
enade. 1t is, or should be, wide enough
to Accommodate tea party on occasion.
1t should be sheltered from the wind,
and from the sun, SO far as to provide a
shady corner for all hours of the day. If
possible it should look out on something
pleasant. Country views, with wide
spaces and soft horizons, are not always
possible; but almost every country
dWeIler can secure tree, few flowers,
reach of sky, perhaps even a glimpse
OF the sunset, while the less fortunate may
atleast drape morning glories, sweet-brier
or Howe ring vines over the supports and
walls. But whether the piazza look out
upon Arcadia or the chicken-coop, its
best charm and adOrnment must be the
vines with which its pillars are clothed
Vines thus planted play an important
part. They adorn the house by which
they grow, frame it in, and with leafy
arches make it more beautiful for those
without and those within.-Scri51aer for
.Jatne
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1875-06-03

the poor woman, who fled screaming TO
her home.
Nor long since graduate from one of
our Eastern theological schools was
called to the pastoral charge of church
in the extreme Southwest. When about
to start for his new parish he was unex-
pectedly detained by the incapability of
his presbytery to ordain him. In order
to explain his non-arrival at the appoint
ed time, he sent the following telegram
to the deacons of the church: "Presby-
terry lacked quorum to ordain." In the
course OF its journey the message got
strangely -netamorphosed and reached
the astonished deacons IN this shape:
-" Presbytery tackled worm on to Adam!"
The sober church officers were greatly
discomposed and mystifed, but after
grave consultation concluded it was the
minister's facetious way of announcing
that he had got married and accordingly
proceeded to provide lodgings for two IN
stead of one

THAT will do nicely" said Ruth May
hew, receiving her last package through
the car-window from Mr. Perkins on the
platform.
Write rs how you get along, Ruth.
1T your aunt can spare you a spell in the
summer we'd be glad to see you hum
agin. Oh, my! here's Mis- Curtin with a
bunch of posies from her gardin. Hurry
hurry! you'll be late sure's the world
Mis- Curtin"
thus spoke the group at the depot in
shrill chorus as the locomotive, every
plate FURNISHED and dazzling, which had
simmered quietly for minutes, started,
imparting Jerking wrench to the cars,
and then the long snake of a train glided
smoothly away.
She takes it first-rate," commented
Mr. Perkins, wiping his brow with red
bandana handkerchief.
Then he climbed into his rusty carry
all, drawn by meek white horse; the
others returned along the village street
TO resume separate avOcations, and the
event OF The day was over. Ruth Nav
heW had departed from the home of her
youth, and the place would know her no
more forever
The struggle had been hard one, but
she bore 1t well, as Mr.. Perkins averred.
She did not look once at the white house
on the hill where death had robbed her
of parents and shelter, because even her
tortltude could not be trusted to wit
ness the Smalls moving in. What was
before her? Life with Aunt Harriet in
close sick-chamber, slave of an inva-
lids caprices, and grateful for daily
bread. Oh, the long dreary years with
nothing but old age in advance!
She took small pocket mirror from
her bag, and gazed pensively into its
depths. The reflected image was bv no
means unattractive. She was not as
young as she had once been, vet her
features were good, her complexion
fresh, her eyes clear and her physique
robust. Moreover she was carefully and
becomingly attired, and her chignon was
Of the latest style. Nevertheless a SIGH
Welled up from her heart when she gazed
IN the glass, not altogether in unrea-
sonable dissatisfaction with her present
appearance; still the past had had disap-
continents, and the future with Aunt
harriet was without promise. Away
oack IN the vista of summers she beheld
herselt, fanciful girl, building cloud
castles out Of the sunset glories. One
sprng-ume was brighter and more fra
grant than the rest: around it still
bIoomed flowers of regreful memories,
blossoms without earthly semblance in
the cold, bleak climate where Ruth lived,

APPLE BLOSSOMS.
BY ELLEN TRACY ALDEN.

BY ELLEN TRACY ALDEN.
ONCE on time, in early dawn OF summer,
Among the trees the question Glanced to
rise
(Which Of Us is the fairest, the most
conely?"
A towering pine tree boosted in this wise:
" Behold me, all We puny ones, behold mel
Look at my shoulders reaching to the sky
Look at my tasseled mantle-green forever!
How can ye doubt or question ?-here
anil"
a stately elm tree upward gazed a moment,
In acquiescence bent her regal head:
cay, thou art tall and gayly decked, my
brother,
But have more Of symmetry" she said.
languid willow, musing, softly murmured:
Yes, shapely is the elm, and tall the pine;
But see, 0 friends (she made sweeping court
esy).
You must admit that sracefulness is mine
"Ah, well; that's not the point" replied q
maple;
"'Tis not of grace we're talking, not at all :;
And as for form, why, am well proportional;
And as for height, why, one may be too
tall"
Hold" cried tulip tree; am not
shapely?
And lily would the pine trees tassels green
Compare with these broad leaves, so smooth
and shining,
Or with the bells Of bloom that swing be-
tween!n
"Conceited fools !" gnarly old oak tree grum-
bled;
Dragging Of your fine clothes and shape
and length!
Bah, with your silly pirate and idle prattle!
There is most beauty where there is most
strength"
Atthat plain ill-fayored tree took courage
AndI, too-Iam rugged! am stout"
''Ye-hee, he, heel" the little sapplings gig
gled:
H.. ha, La, hap the grown-up trees did
shout.
And, one and all, they laughed and laughed
together,
And, one and all, together did they say:
Oh, listen! ugly scrubs lay claim to beauty!
Who ever heard the like before to-dayn
But Mother Nature frowned at their derision
Seeing the humble tree with grief down
cast
Her wand She lifted: 10! the sighted claim
ant
In comeliness all other trees surpassed
a downy robe the knotted limbs enveloped.
In folds whose fragrance thrilled the won
d'ring air
A robe of pale, rose-tinted bloss Oms woven!
Amazed and breathless did the scoffers stare.
And, one and al, they turned from jest and
laughter,
And, one and al, together whispered they:
" Behold, behold the garment of our brother!
Who ever saw the like before today"
Since then, Away, in early dawn of summer,
Dame Nature lifts her wand the trees to
shame
Who envy him that wears the apple blossoms
And wish they had not Knocked his modest
claim

The revival at San Francisco still
progresses with undated interest. More
than 800 names have been subscribed
to the covenant, many Of them young
men just entering active life. At a re-
cent converts, meeting $50 were present
and took part. In addition to the regu-
lar church services outdoor meetings are
frequently held; jails and other public
institutions are visited, and the whole
city seems moved.

deeds are fruits, words are but
leaves" But then every tree has to pro-
duce leaves before fruit.
