bid farewell to his congregation 10 a circular,
his sermons duriog the day were not farewell

The Gardens of Morocco,

The groves of rosetrees and the
flower farms of Morocco are said by a
recent traveller to exceed IN extent and
value those of Damascus, or even
those of the Valley of Mexico. The
general climate of the country is very
favorable to this kind of culture. Swept
alternately by the breezes of the
Atlantic and Mediterranean, and temper
ed by the SHOWS of the Atlas ranges,
the degree of heat in Morocco is much
lower than in Algeria, while the soil is
exceedingly fertile. To date and palm
and to orange and lemon trees the
climate appears to be especially suited,
the dates of Tafilat having been
famous even from Roman times. The
orange plantations are of great extent in
various parts of the country, while
olives and almonds are also staples ex-
ported in large quantities. Seeing that
this fertile land, lying within five days
steam of London, produces so much
vegetable wealth under the most barba-
rous cultivation, it appears extraordi-
nary that European enterprise does not,
in such climate, seek profitable en-
ployment for it's over abundant capital
in its application to the development of
such vast resources, SO close at hand,
instead of going so far afield as Austria
liza or America

Cranberries uIJapan.

A young japanese, while in the Uni
ted States, expressed much surprise at
seeing cranberries eaten at the table. and
said that in the mountains of Japan
they grow very large and beautiful but
are never cooked. Some old man occa-
sionally goes upthe mountain and picks
long basket full of them, which he
brings on his shoulders down to the
town. The boys gather about him ard
for a small coin purchase the right to
what use do you think they make of this
otherwise useless fruit? The boys
blow the glowing berries through rat
tan tubes, as our boys blow beans
through til ones. That's what cranber-
ries are used for in Japan, where they
grow III great perfection.

The Disappearance of Old Maids.

correspondence of the WOmans journal.
There is growing up in England a
large class of women who do not marry.
but who apparently wish not to marry.
They deliberately devote themselves to
literature, to teaching, to some trade,
generally an artistic one, at any rate to
some occupation that gives a livelihood
and tends to culture, and this they
choose for life. The marrying instinct
seems dead, or rather never to have
been born in them. | have known at
least one such person in this country.
They do not seem to be thought of as
out of place; but on the contrary they
move into fit places in the great societal
organism, easily and naturally, and are
accepted without remark. A late arti-
Gle III one of the leading papers of our
country remarked that an almost entire
change had taken place in this country,
in current speech, concerning unmarried
women who are past 30; that whereas,
twenty years ago, and always before.
they were called "old maids" and the
phrase was a term of reproach, now it
was rarely, if ever, used, and the re-
proach which used to be cast upon such
persons has almost entirely passed
away.

Wood Books,

In the museum at Hesse Cassel, Ger
many, is a library made from five hun
dred European trees. The back of each
volume is formed of the bark Of a tree,
the sides of perfect wood, the top of
young wood and the bottom of old.
When opened the book is found to be a
box containing the flower, seed, fruit
and leaves of the tree, either dried or
initiated in wax At the Melbourne In
ternational Exhibition of 1866 Colonel
Clamp exhibited specimens of Victoria
wood converted into small boxes of
book form, according to a design adopt
ed by that gentleman at the Vienna Elk
h1bltlon OF 1881, and then suggested by
Baron Ferdinand Mueller. Nothing
could be more interesting than library
(to speak allegorically) of such imitation
books, representing the different tim
bers of various countries, which could
be Systematically or alphabetically or
geographically arranged. Australia
alone could furnish of such a collection
over thousand volumes. At the Paris
Exhibition of 1867 Russia showed a
similar collection of wooden books,
cleverly designed, showing the bark as
the back binding, and lettered with the
popular and scientific names of the
wood. Each book contained samples
of the leavas and fruit of the tree, and
section and shaving or veneer of the
wood.

tied, the money will be refunded. at once, to
the ticket-holders. Let him further observe
that Mr. Briggs has secured, of course at an
enormous expense, the services of Gilmore
the greatest leader in America with his or
chestra Of 100 select performers, who will con-
clude the series of concerts with such burst
of harmony as has never before awakened our
Western homes. And, by the way. let him
also remember that if he does not possess at

Famine Stricken Mother Sells Her
Children.

The following episode is given of the
distress caused by The famine in ASIA
Minor Turkish lady, mother of five
or six children (the eldest eight, went
on board at Sansoum, to join her hus-
band ut Constantinople, who had de
serted her for several years. The I'M
fortunate woman with her ragged chill
dren had to rely on the charity of the
fellow passengers during the voyage.
On landing ut Eregli, the manager Of
the collieries having come on beard
and seeing the poor children, asked the
mother whether she would part with
one. "Take your choice" was her
answer. The manager left the ship
with the oldest one, a girl of eight.
Some minutes later another resident,
hearing of the occurrence, also went on
board, and made the acquisition Of an
other of the children for a tritling sum.
When she separated from her babes
the mother did not shed one tear, nor
utter any complaint; misery had stitied
all maternal love. She probably knew,
also, that by this separation her chill
dren would be safe from starvation.

Charles Summers Eternal Creditor.

Websters financial notions were al
"~ye loose. The rights of property
were W So--athing which his mind, with
al us capaclty, al not take in. When
he was quite young, nd DILIGENTLY
practising law in Boston, Gh,s.1as SIM
ner and himself were engaged by the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to
defend suit that had been brought
against it. A few days later Webster
entered Summers office and said:
"Sumner, I'm going over to the State
House to draw my 81 900, and I'll draw
yours, too, if you like, to save you the
trouble Of going there"
Sumner thanked him kindly; but,
having some understanding of his legal
brothers peculiarities, remarked that
he did not care for the money just then,
and would prefer to let it lie
Daniel rather insisted on getting it,
and Charles equally insisted that he
should lie: it alone. At last the former
said: col, well, do as you choose, -
and went out. Webster went to the
State House; drew Summers as we'll as
his own money, kept it, and never men,
toned the circumstance to his late
colleague. As may be imagined, the
famous expounder never discharged the
debt-in truth, Sumner never tried to
collect it. He knew that once having
gotten It, possession, especially with
Webster, was nine points of the law-if
not several points besides.
