Eject ef . Chinese Victory.
New York Graphie.I

The danger Of war between England
and China seems now to be averted,
but it would be a singular thing and put
an entirely new face on affairs if such
struggle should be entered upon and En-
gland be worsted in it. The possibility
Of such calamity dawned in a vague
way upon the intellect of the London
Spectator year or 10 ago, when that very
speculative journal gave picture of the
vast resources Of China, the hardihood
Of its soldiers. their frugal militarymenage
and general ability. and ended all by
showing that, should the Celestial En-,
pire adopt the Prussian system, it could
put eighty millions Of men into the field,
with whom it might possibly be able to
overrun and subjugate Western Europe.
Such q Monaghan incursion is far enough
away, we are in the habit of thinking !;
but Is strange things as this have hap
pened before. That the Goths should
ever overruo Rome would never have
been believed in Cesar's time, yet Alaric

A Good Story by Gen. Rousseau.


Gen. Sherman's appreciation of a
his memoirs, but never to the extent
of seriously interrupting the absorbing
current of the narrative in which he
carries the reader with his army thro'
the great events of his campaign. Gen.
Rousseau had made by his orders a
raid from Decatur, Ala, across the rail-
road lines between Georgia and Alaba-
ma, tearing them up as he went, until
he reached Marietta, Ga, where he re-
ported the results to Gen. Sherman,
and told the following story:
He was far down in Alabama, below
Talladega, one hot dusty day, when
the blue clothing of his men was gray
with dust; be had halted his column
along road, and he in person, with
his staff, had gone to the house OF a
planter, who met him kindly at the
front porch. he asked for water,
which was brought, and as the party
sat on the porch in conversation, he
saw, in stable yard across the road,
quite number of good mules. He re-
mareked to the planter, My good sir,
| fear must take some of your mules.
The planter demonstrated, saying he
had already contributed literally to the
good cause; that it was only last week
he bad given to Gen. Robby ten mules.
Rousseau replied, well, in this war
you should be at least neutral-that is,
you should be as liberal to US to Rob-
by "a rebel cavalry GeneraD. We'll,
amt you on our side?' No. said
Rousseau; Il am Gen. Rousseau, and
all these men you see are Yanks.
Great God! is it possible? Are these
Yarks? Who ever supposed they
would come away down here in Ala,
I bama" Of course, Rousseau took his
ten mules.-FIoIn Sher:nan's Memoirs,

To Preserve a Bouquet.

When you receive bouquetsprinkle
it with fresh water, then put it into a
vessel containing some soapsuds, which
nourish the roots and keep the flowers
as good as new. Take the bouquet out
of the suds every morning and lay it
sideways in fresh water, the stock en-
tering first into the water; keepit there
a minute or two, then take it out and
sprinkle the flowers lightly by the
hand with pure water. Replace the
bouquet in soap.uds, and the flowers
will bloom as fresh as when gathered.
The soapsuds need to be changed every
third day. By observing these rules
a bouquet may be kept bright and
beautiful for at least one month, and
will last longer in very passable state;
but the attention to the fair but fraii
creatures as directed above must be
strictly observed, 'or the last rose OF
Summer will not be lett blooming
alone but will perish American

Golden Words.

The habit of looking on the bright
side is invaluable. Men and women
who are evermore reckoning up what
they want rather than what they have
counting the difficulties in the way
instead of contriving means to- over
come theIn-are almost certain to live
on corn bread, fat pork, and salt, and
sink to unmarked graves. The world
is such to smile upon man who seems
to be successful, but let him go about
with crestfallen air, and the very dogs
in the street will set upon him. We
must all have losses. Late frost will
nip the fruit in the bud, banks will
break, investments prove worthless,
valuable horses will die, china vases
will break, but all the calamities do not
come together. The wise course to
pursue, when one plan fails, is to form
another; when one prop is knocked
from under us, to fill its place with a
substitute, and evermore count what is
left rather than what is taken. When
the final reckoning is made, if it ap-
pears that we have not lost the uncon-
sciousness of international rectitude; il
we have kept charity towards all men;
if, by the various discipline of life, we
have been freed from follies and con-
frmed in virtue, whatever we have
lost, the great balance sheet will be in
your favor.-EX.

Tomato TrefIises.

The cheapest and most convenient
trellis for tomatoes is to make a four.
square frame for every hill, of four
pieces of hard wood, two feet long and
one inch square, for the four corner
posts. Let three pieces of lath, each
one foot long, be nailed on each sides
such trellises will cost only few cents
each, and they will save four time;
their cost in tomatoes. Let such q
trellis be placed over each hill before
the plant has begun to bend sideways,
then the fruit will be kept off the
gSound. If made of durable timber,
and carefully stored during winter in a
pile on one side Of the field, this kind
of trellis will last half score of years
or more, especially if they are dipped
in kettle of coal tar before they are
placed over the tomato hills.

No StRRvAs-

Christian lntelligencer. r
A suffering child of God, who was
lately laid in her grave, said to her
pastor few hours before she died, Il
feel as if l were going to heaven with
out any sheaves.' She had fingered
long with consumption, which had
wasted her young life away just as she
had finished her first score of years; and
her chief wish for life was that she
might do more for him who had done
so much for her.
But the patient Sufferer knew not
how her quiet testimonies for Christ,
and her exemplary submission to his
will, and her latest joys, rising even
into rapture, had ministered to those
who saw and watched her during heI
illness. And she went home with her
pale, thin hands full of golden sheaves
the sheaves of sanctified trial and
ripened faith.
The garden of our Lord is full of such
harvesting. Active eXertion is not the
only way of ingathering. The passive
virtues are the most fruitful. Tney are
the only sheaves which multitudes o
Gods reapers can gather. In the stir
ring external Chistian work of oul
times, these truths are apt to be forgot
ten or overlaid. Our Savior's obedi
ence was both active and passive, and
His followers should never forget the
prominence which is always given il
the Scriptures, not merely TO his expia
tory suferings, but also to those which
were sympathetic and exemplary. IL
those the fellowship of His sufferings,
is to know 'the power of his resurrec
tiOn.' And they are greatly mistaken
who think no sheaves are to be gather
ed in the valley of humiliation. In NJ
part of the wide harvest fields are Their
more of those who go forth weeping
bearing precious seed,' and who shal
doubtless come again with rejoicing
bringing their sheaves with Them

A Soft Answer,

The husband was of quick temper
and often inconsiderate. They had
been married not a year, when, one
day in fit of hssty wrath, he said to
his wife:
Il want no correction from you. II
you are not satisfied with my conduct
you can return to your own home,
whence took you, and find happiness
in your kindred
'1f leave you,' returned the unhap-
py wife, will you give me that which
| brought to you?'
Every dollar, covet not your wealth.
You can have it all back
sAh p she answered, Il mean not the
wealth of gold. 1 thought not of dress.
I mean my maiden heart-my first and
only love-my buoyant hopes, and the
promised blessings of my womanhood.
Can you give these to me?
A moment of thought of convulsion
and then taking her to his arms he
said:
No, no, my wife, / can not do that;
but will do more; l will keep them
henceforth unsullied and unpained. ]
cherish your blessing as my own; and
never again, God helping me, will i
forget the pledge l gave at the holy
altar when you gave your peace and
happiness into my keeping
How true it is that soft answer
turneth away wrath; and how many,
oh, how many, of the bitter strifes OF
domestic life might be avoided by re-
membering and acting in accordance

Cut Worm Preventive.

The Uniontown Genius says: Ellis
B. Woodward, of Menallen township,
informs us that elder leaves, or leaves
from the wild cherry tree, strewn
through a corn field in punches, say
twenty-five feet apart, is a sure pre-
ventive against the cut worm cutting
of the corn. He says he has tried it for
thirty-three years, and he never knew
the remedy to fail in single instance.
Mr.. Woodward alleges that he has fire.
quently tried the experiment in his
corn field about the time the cut worm
was making the attack on his corn,
when they would shortly gather on
and under the buncn of leaves, where
they can be killed by the hundred.
Mr.. w. vouches for the truth of the
above, having frequently tried the
remedy, and it never failed in pro.
ducing the desired result,
