DECORATIONS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.

The decorations in honor of the event
were on a mammoth scale, and reflect great
credit upon the town and upon the artists
engaged in arranging them.
Much interest centered in the Universalst
church. the well-preservcd edifice in which
the first session of the first provisional con-
gress was held. The interior of the build
ing presented labyrinth of drapery, nota-
Bile for its beautiful blending of colors and
artistic appropriateness in every detail.
f! Perhaps the best description that can be
given is to say that it was masterpiece of
the decorative art, combining lavish expen-
diture with the simplicity and fidelity to
the significance of the important event
which has been commemorated.
Among other public buildings, places
and things extensively decorated were the
town hall, the old court house, the Concord
national bank, the statue of the minute
man." the monuments and the Middlescx
hotel. A mammoth evergreen arch was
erected over Monument street.
The residence of Hon. L. Il. Hoar dis

tically and appropriately arranged. The

The Uses and Functions of the Leaf.

The Office and utility of leaves are
becoming better understood by cuItiva-
tors than formerly; yet we find a good
many still adhere to the old belief that
the suns rays shining directly on form
ing fruit are what perfect it, independ-
emily Of other influences. On this sub
ject theory and practice have been in
variabiy found in perfect accordance
with each other. The principles of
physiology teach us that the sap of a
tree, when it passes in at the roots, re-
mains nearly unchanged in its upward
progress through stem and branches
until it reaches the leaves, where, being
spread out in those thin organs to light
and air, it undergoes a complete change
and thus becomes suited to the forma-
tion of new wood and new fruit. Strip
a rapidly growing tree of it's leaves at
midsummer, and from that moment the
supply of new wood ceases, and it will
grow no more till new leaves are formed;
and if it has young fruit the growth
and maturity of the latter will cease in
the same way. A few years since a yell
low gage plum tree lost all it's foliage
from leaf blight when the plums were
not fully grown and while yet destitute

ary and unaltered until in a few weeks
a second crop of leaves came out. They
then swelled to full size, assumed their
crimson dots and received their boneyed
sweetness of flavor. The object of
pruning should be, therefore, to allow
the leaves to grow full size without be-
ing injured from providing. We find
the following corroborative fact stated
in late number of the New England
Farmer "We once knew of an intel
igent lady who stripped her grape
vines Of a portion of their leay es in
order to let in the sun and ripen the
fruit; but to her surprise where the
leaves remained as nature had disposed
them the grapes were the earliest and
every way the best. This led her to
investigate the matter, when she was de-
lighted to learn that the leaves were not
only the protectors but the caterers of
the fruit, constantly celebrating and
supplying it with the pabulum it re-
quired to bring it to perfection. THE

Happy Husbands.

| That is a good. .natured man who
writes that it is a mans own fault If ht
is unhappy with his wife, in nine cases
out of ten. 1t is a very exceptional
woman who will not be all she can be
to an attentive husband, and a more
| exceptional one will not be very dis
agreeable If she finds herself willfully
neglected. II would be very easy to
hate man who, having bound wo-
man to him, made no effort to make her
happy hard not to love one who was
constant and tender and when woman
loves she always tries to please. The
great men of this world have often been
wretched in their domestic relations,
while mean and common men have been
exceedingly happy. ......-
The reason is very plain. Absorbed
in themselves, those who desired the
worlds applause we're careless of the
little world at home, while those who
had none of the egotism strove to keep
the hearts that were their own, and
were happy in their tenderness. No
woman will love a man the better for
being renowned or prominent. Though
he be the first among men, she will only
be prouder, not fonder; and if she
loses him through this renown, as is
often the case, she will not even be
proud. But give her love, appreciation,
kindness, and there is no sacrifice she
would not make for his content and
comfort. The man who loves her well
is her hero and her king. No less
hero to her though he is not one TO
any other; no less a king though his
only kingdom is her heart and home.

Partners for the Dance

A young lady conti6sutor to tie Bos-
ton Courier writes: "Let me tell you
what kind of partners we poor girls are
obliged to take up with now. The
most narrowing of them all, think on
the whole, is the surprised partner. Of
course 1 can't tell you what his name
IS. One feels rather flattered when he
asks one, for he is supposed to be a
genius-lives by his wits. I should
hardly suppose his income could be
amazingly large. He writes books any
way, and looks like a pen, as tall and
shoulders to legs; then his hair stands
He wears glasses and his countenance
is continually agitated by surprise. He
invites one to dance with him, and one
consents; but when he chances to look
down and sees the modest form on his
arm, his surprise is unspeakable. He
is surprised at the music, surprised if
he is greeted by an acquaintance, sur
prised at everybody and everything but
the supper-table, which he approaches
firmly and naturally, and notice that
he meets an oyster like an old friend.
Sometimes he deals out few gracious
remarks to one with an air of giving
candy to a child, and one swallows the
candy as meekly as possible and smiles
beautiful smile when his state of sur
prise causes him to crush her costly fan
in his hands as if it were so much
paper. Not that one is not in a condi-
tion to take him by the collar, but one
is obliged to be careful about offending
these geniuses-they may put you into
a book. AS for dancing he doesn't
dance at all, only walks about bewild-
cred and sad, and when he pretends to
waltz holds one in his arms as have
seen children hold big dolls nearly as
large as themselves. He pays no at
tention to the music whatever, but
holds his head aloft as If he were listen
ing to the music of other spheres. An
other one is the bashful partner. He
is young-handsomely young-and
looks as if a glance might kill him.
One goes on the floor with him with
fearful presentiment in her soul, and
glances over her new robe, so airy, so
sty ylish, so suggestive of Paris, saying,
pathetically, Eyes, look your last :
She takes every precaution; she tucks
her flowing skirts under one arm at the
dreadful risk of being called uugrace-
full she pins up her train and tries to
keep her feet behind her, but it is all
of no avail; his every step leaves a
track of ruin her toes ache from being
crushed by his awkward boots, and,
alas for those delicate founces. He
dances with such righteous vehemence
that the skirts are shaken down, the
flowers drop from her hair, and she
retires painting and breathless, to say
nothing of the state of her disposition.
Still it is better to sacrifice all this
than to be wall flower, for if one gets
the reputation of being a wall flower
she may as well hang her harp on the
willow tree"

Among the MOrmOns.

The approaching trial of Lee, the
Mormon prophet, charged with being
engaged in the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre, in Utah, draws near, and cor
respondent says the Mormons are pre-
pairing for some startling Developments.
It is beyond question, he says, that not
only were obnoxious Gentiles put out
of the way in Salt Lake City without
any trial, but even many of the
brethren" were watched when out of
doors and quietly led TO place conven-
lent for butchery, and there had there
"throats cut" for the double purpose
of keeping them from "opposing the
kingdom and atoning for their sins of
unbelief. It is said of Isaac c. Haight,
who was the lieutenant colonel of the
militia regiment that committed the
massacre at Mountain Meadows, that
he grew so fanatical and was so far re-
moved from any supervisory authority
that he did as he pleased and disposed
of the lives of the obnoxious with all
the freedom of doge of Venice. In
the little town of Cedar, the head
quarters of his militia, he is said to
have kept two of the brethren-Stewart
and Macfarlane-for that special pur-
pose, and to aid at odd times in harass-
ing and stealing from the passing immi-
grant Gsntiles.
No fewer than ten men were taken
down into the cellar beneath Haight's
house, and from there they never came
out alive, and the only answer that was
ever made to any inquiry about a miss
ing person in those days was the la
comic sentence, "He has gone to Cali
fOrnia."
To listen to the tales that are now
told by men and women of the early
times of blood one feels carried away
in reflection to dark ages and barbaric
nations, and it is this history that Brig
ham Young has good cause to dread
being brought to light in the forthcom-
ing investigation of the Mountain
Meadow massacre, and do not see how
he can prevent its exposure.
The investigation, when once begun,
will be like the letting out of water
the dam, snce pierced, the breech will
widen and widen until it all is out, and
the revelations of crime will startle the
nation. It's ultimate result will be the
breaking down of a fearful superstition
and despotism and the deliverance of a
people who deserve to be free.
