Tke One Rose.

No buds of spring had decked as yet
That gardens blest retreat; A
Bat thou vert there, my rose of love,
And all the sir was sweet
Above the bare brown trees the sky
Was grey with wings of storm; H
But once thy breath was on my cheek,
And all the world was warm
life! 0 love lime that seemed
Apulse's doubling beat
U clouds Ia shadowing flight of doves,
80 softly grey and fleet!
Ah me! ne days of June shall bring.
For all their deepening skies,
One half the summer that outshone
From the depths of sea-dark eyes.
Some words whose meaning gra ,ious-sweei
Their music did confuse
Like strained oriers lines half lost
Within its gorgeous hues.
Most generous grace! most royal rose
That oped that wintry hour,
Not all the summers of the world
Can mould one more such flower
Oh! my enchanted isle, more dear
Than Eden's blessed plains!
The Wild seas swept across the spot
For bower nor bloom remains
Yet hold thy treasure, heart of mine,
For while these pulses beat
The memory of that rose shall make
AN my souls desert sweet!
The Gdldry for Nouen.ber.

Care of the Feet.

Concerning this subject the Scienti-
fic American very truly says: 'sMany
are careless in the keeping of the feet.
IF they wash them once a week they
think they are doing we'll. They do
not consider that the largest pores are
located in the bottom of tia foot, and
that the most offensive matter is dis
charged through these pores. They
wear stockings from the beginning to
the end of the week without change,
which become perfectly saturated with
the offensive matter. Ill health is gen
Grated by such treatment of the feet.
the pores are not repellants but absorb
ent, and this fetid matter to a greater or
less extent is taken back into the system.
The feet should be washed every day
with pure water only, as AVell as the
armplts, from which an offensive odor
is also emitted unless daily ablution is
practiced. Stockings should not be
worn more than day or two st time.
They may be worn one day, and then
aired and summed and worn another, il
necessary.

Proposed Abolition of Clerical Patron
age i'm Prussia.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
1t appears, if we may trust the Co.
logne Gazette, that new ecclesiastical
measure is in contemplation for the
coming session of Parliament. The new
bill is to be an Abolition of Patronage
bill, somewhat similar to that passed by
the English Parliament the year
before last for the Scotch Kirk,
without, however, providing oom-
pensation to the patrons for the rights
they are to be asked to surrender. BY
the seventeenth article of the Prussian
Constitution the prospect of revision
OF the law of patronage was kept in
view, but since 1850 no steps have been
taken to carry the intention into effect.
In the whole of Prussia there are, in
connection with the Catholic church,
over LOCO ecclesiastical offices
IN the gift of private patrons;
about 500 in that of the state;
and the great mass, or $500, are in
that of the bishops. The abolition of
clerical patronage would therefore be
equivalent to revolution in the church.
What is proposed is to substitute cleo
ton by the congregations for the pres
ChoeDeAOh W PAANuUO HdUlOAS du0 Uuo
state, while the former will be relieved
from all burdens in connection with the
maintenance of the churches. In re-
gard to episcopal patronage it is sug-
gested that it shall continue, but should
be SO modified that presentations shall
not take effect without allowing to the
congregations concerned the right of
objection, which seems something like
the veto law, which was SO long the
cause of controversy in the Church of
Scotland. We are not told what pre-
else effect the objections of the con-
gregation are intended to have, but it
must be supposed that they are de-
signed if not obviated to prevent the
Episcopal presentation from taking
effect. The bill is justified by
the Cologne Gazette as a measure
of policy; but it is not denied that
it is another blow aimed at the indie
pendenee of the Catholic Church. In
deed, it is urged that the state is en-
titled in sef-protection to disarm it's
enemies and to weaken them by all the
means ia its power. So that the author,
or those who are suggesting such a
measure, contemplate the intensifca-
ton of the struggle between Church
and State.

ICED APrIRs.-Pare, core, and slice
spples of large, tart kind. Bake
them till nearly done. Put them away
to get entirely cold, then prepare some
sugar icing, and first pouring off all the
juice, lay the icing thickly ON the top
and sides as much as you can. Re-
turn them to the oven tc just harden
and set. Serve with cream.
TEA RUsKs. -One-half pint of new
milk, one cup of hop yeast; set the

Emigration Of French Bas4ues to South
America

From the London Times Paris Correspondence.
The Temps gives some information
respecting the wholesale emigration of
French basques into South America.
The Department of the Basses Pyrenees
that picturesque GASES between the
barren landes and the sea--aad 1885,
486 inhabitants in 1866, while in 1872
there were only 426, ISL. This was but
the beginning of the movement. In the
last named year II, $50 Basques left
Bordeau for Montevideo and Bueno
Ayres, the next year there were 1885.
Some communes have lost q to 80 per
cent. The Canton of Mauleon, the cen
tire of the Basque population, will, if
the Exodus goes on, be desert in fifty
years. The movement is attributed to
the Code Napoleon, which compels the
division of land among the whole family.
People thus becomes poorer and poorer,
but have repugnance to working fer
others and lear Of military service.

Wintering Bees.

A correspondent of the Boston Guilt
vator says: In the long and cold win
tiers apiarians are liable tc loss, either
from severe cold or short stores, very
little danger of loss exists in leaving
them upon their stand, where the sun
may reach them, and occasionally warm
them up, to fly out, and discharge them
selves and return again to their hive.
But sometimes they are disappointed,
and find unexpected loss. They are
liable to such disappointment, pursue
what plan they may.
Some dig trench in dry piece of
ground and bury them below the reach
Of frost, and sometimes succeed very
we'll. I have been most successful in
wintering them in dry dark cellar,
where no frost or light could trouble
them. Thus located with ventilation,
[ have been able to approach them at
any time in the winter. Weak swarms
with little stores, could approach and
feed at any time when needed; and
previous to removing them out in the
spring, have them forward i'll the pro-
the increase ia numb ars, and be early
in the season ready for labor.
A good piece of empty honeycemb
placed upon the top of the hive or
breeding apartment, filled with honey,
will be visited by them and the feed
transferred at once to the hive and stor-
ed, and little time will familiarize
them to it SO they vii. come as readily
to their feed as donesticated animals,
and as eagerly and quietly take it up
For hive with frames or bars I have a
feeder in which I can place nearly a
quart at once, and 70 bee having a
chance to escape, thoagh all may enter
the feed box. Sugar from the bottom
of syrup barrel or from q molasses
hogshead thinned and boiled SO as TO be
of about the consistency of honey when
cold, have found it to be very accepta-
BILE feed and answering every desirable
purpose.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
The Children's Bedtime,


The clock strikes seven in the hall.
The curfew of the children's day,
Ihat calls each little patteriny foot Hai
FROM dance and song and ivelong play;
Their day that in our wider light
Floats like silver Gay-moon white,
Nor In our darkness sinks to rest.
But sets within golden West.
All, tender hearts that sends adrift
VI chlldrens kisses through the house,
AND cucoO notes of sweet Good night"
That thoughts of heaven and home arouse
ana soft stir to sense and heart,
As When the bee and blossom part;
ana little feet that patter slower,
Like the last droppings.of the shower.
And in the children's rooms aloft
what blossom shapes do gayly slip
Their dainty sheaths, and rosy run
From clasping hand and kissing lip,
A naked sweetness to the eye
Blossom and babe and butterfly
In witching one so dear sight!
An ecstacy Of life and light.
And alb, what lovely witcheries
Bestrew the floor! an empty sock,
By vanished dance aud song left loose
AS dead birds throats tiny smock
That, sure, upon some meadow grew,
And drank the heaven sweet rains !; q shoe
Scarce bigger than an acorn cup ;
Frecks that seem fowery meads cut up.
The lily-drest in angel-white
To mothers knee they trooping come,
The soft palms fold like kissing shells,
And they and we go singing home
Their bright heads bowed and worshipping,
As though some glory of the spring,
Some daffodil that mocks the day,
Should fold his golden palms and pray.
The gates of Paradise swing wide
moments space in soft accord.
And those dread angels Life and Death,
A moment vail the flaming sword,
AS DER this weary world forlorn
From Eden's secret heart is borne
That breath of Paradise most fair
Which mothers call "the children's PRAYER"
All, deep pathetic mystery
The worlds great woe unconscious hung,
rain drop on blossoms lip;
White innocence that woes our wrong.
And love divine that looks again,
Unconscious Of the cross and pain,
From sweet child-eye3, and in that child
Sad earth and heaven reconciled
Then kissed, on beds we lay them down,
As fragrant white as clover'd sod,
And all the upper floors grew hushed
With children's sleep and dews of God,
And as our stars their beams do hide,
Their stars of twilight opening wide
Take up the heavenly tale at even,
And light Us on to God and heaven. s

Why Editors Don't Suicide,

The New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says: While speak
ing of suicide as feature in human ex-
perience, I am led to the remarkable
fact that editorial life exhibits SO general
an exception. While we have had in
stances of self inflicted death among
lawyers, bankers, and mechanics, such
case has never occurred among the
journalists of this city. One may
reasonably inquire the cause of this ex-
emption! they labor intensely, and
are generally ill-paid, and they have a
full share of life's hardships, which
they endure till their change comes
in course of nature. can give no
other reason for this except that the
profession is constantly busy, and works
with an approval of conscience, since it's
labors are for the public veal. Editors
in fact, are SO occupied with range Of
thought embracing public interests that
they have little time to think about
themselves. Walter Scott made the re-
mark after he had reached bankruptcy
that nothing saved him from insanity
but his habits of writing. His mind
was thus led away from the contempla-
ton of his miseries. Journalists are SO
engaged in chronicling the woes of others
that they lose sight of their owl
