With the month of April is associated
the derivation and dissemination i'm a
formal and official manner of the desig-
nation of Protestant. The Emperor
Charles the Fifth called diet at Spires
in 1929 to request aid from the German
princes against the Turks, and to devise
means for allaying the disputes growing
out of Luther's rebellion against CathO-
licism. The Diet condemned the re-
formers and issued decree in support
of the doctrines of the ancient church.
Against this decree six Lutheran princes
and the deputies of thirteen towns of
the empire formally protested on April
IL, 1880. From this act the designation
of Protestant, which then was given to
the followers of Luther, is derived.
The Calvinists were subsequently, in
cluded, and the title became general for
all the sects outside the original Chris
tian church. The six protesting princes
were John and George the electors of
Saxony and Brandenburg. Ernest and
Francis, the two Dukes of Lunenburg;
he Landgrave of Hesse, and the Prince
of Anhalt.

TineI Tine' :

The small stones which fill up the
crevices have almost as much to do with
making the fair and firm wall as the
great rocks; the right and wise use of
spare moments contributes not a little
to the building up, in good proportion
with strength, a mans mind. Mer-
chants and clerks may find fifteen
minutes during few intervals Of the
day to learn what goes on beyond the
day-book and ledger. Merchants and
artisans may find fifteen minutes occa-
sionally to gather hint, q thought, a
fact, an anecdote which they may
ponder over while at work. Good
housewives need not be so ignorant, as,
alas, they too often are suppOsing the
world of books is not for them. One
and all Of you, one and all Of us-let us
take care of the minutes-and the hours
will take care of themselves. 1t has
been well said that industry Is of little
avail without punctuality. This is the
spirit that watches the minutes, and
turns them to account.

Costly Perfumes.

DIR. Rebatel of Lyons, who Travelled
in 1874 i'm the regency of Tunis. makes
mention i'm the narrative of his tour of
two very costly perfumes that are man
ufactured at Stakes, Mediterranean
coast-town of that country. These per-
fumes are the essence of rose and the
essence of jessamine, the flowers being
obtained from the gardens of the sur
rounding region. An ounce of the for
mer, even at the place of manufacture,
sells from twenty to thirty dollars,
while the same quantity of the jessa-
mine essence costs fOrty-five dollars.
Nearly two hundred and twenty pounds
of roses and about five hundred and fifty
Of jessamines are needed to make an
ounce of these essential oils. The prin-
cipal markets for their sale are Tunis
and Constantinople, where they are
purchased for the use of the inmates of
the harems of those cities. Our bellies,
we fear, must continue to sigh in vain
for these forty-dollars an ounce per-
fumes.

Manners Of General Jackson.

The manners of General Jackson were
remarkable for their elegance; though
most dignified, they were so kind as to
nut every visitor perfectly at his ease.
The courtliness of Old Hickory is a
strong proof of his having been enc OF
natures noblemen; for he lived all his
Youngest days amid the toughest scenes
of America. The following story was
told us, a few months since, by venera-
BILE gentleman, whose word is guaran-
tee for its truth. We publish it, for
nothing concerning the personal char
acteristics of so great man as General
jackson should be allowed to perish.
One of the leaders of fashion, forty
wears ago, in this country, was the beau
tiful and accomplished Mrs. C., OF
MARYLAND. This lady spent some time
i'm Europe while Jackson was President,
and from her connection with one of
the most renowned families of the Brit
ish peerage, she saw more Of the aristo-
cratic world than falls to the lot of most
American ladies. just before her return
home, she appeared at the English Court,
and. as she took her leave, George Nv.
sent message by her to General Jack
son. which he charged her to deliver in
person. Accordingly, soon after her
arrival, she went to Washington to
deliver the message Of the king. She
had never seen General Jackson, but
she had heard 80 much to his disadvan-
tage from his political adversaries that
she was not much prepOssessed i'm his
favor. Nevertheless, as she had deter
mined to risk visit, she sent for James
puahapau IN Introduce her.
So James went with her to the presi.
dental mansion, and, having escorted
her to the reception room, he went uI
stairs to see the General, whom he found
| i'm an old dressing gown, with his pipt
in his mouth, and with his gray beard
several days old.
He informed him of the elegant lady
who had called to see him and Of the
pur pts., Of her doing so. and added
ssBut, General, yor are not now In
trim to see ladies'; you must dx lp."
Buchanan replied Old Hickory

Another Illusion Of travel is the fancy
that You have entered the realm of per-
petual holiday. Looking at the surface
of things only as you pass along. you
refuse to look below the surface. No
sombre shadows fieck the gay scene.
Your mood resembles that of the fine
lady who did not know that poor people
existed, and who regarded aged paupers
in the light of picturesque specks in
landscape which required to be enli-
vened by red cloaks. To you all people
and places seem in festival. Some ma
gician has gone before to create an
Arcadia along your path, like that with
which POtemkin gratified the eyes OF
his imperial mistress in her journey TO
the Crimea. You flash by hamlets
which seem to you like the painted
villages of child's toy-box. The groups
of peasants belong not to the gross race
of horny-handed, weather-beaten sons
of toll. They are idealized into Elyinos
and Masettos, and it would hardly sur
prise you to hear them burst into reci-
tative, or to see them join in a rustic
dance. An air of almost operatic levity
envelopes them. They are actors in a
pre-arranged pageant. And the same
illusion haunts you in gray old cities
redolent of the middle ages. Ii never
occurs to you, As you thread their quaint
alleys, that business in all its ramifica-
tions is going on around you with the
same prosaic routine which attends ii
in far-off England, or that within
stones throw of you clerks are docket
ing accounts, tradesmen selling their
wares, clients consulting their attor-
neys, attorneys revolving bills of cost,
farmers putting their samples, doctors
going their rounds, priests tending their
flOcks, students assembled in their
classes, professors enlightening them
from the chair, and, above all, hundreds
of artisans engaged in all the varieties of
manual labor. To the holiday-maker
all around him seems holiday; his
own contentment is contagious, and
infects all his surroundings. His capa-
city for realizing the fact that the new
world into which he has strayed has its
labors, its cares, and its SORROWS is tenn
porarily suspended. In few weeks
his sympathies with working humanity
will revive, and he viii re-awaken to a
proper sense of his responsibilities to
his fellow-men. But for the present he
them as the puppets of a
theatric show of which he is the cpell-
bound and impassive spectator.-LondoR

A S0urenr of AnderseR.-As soon as
the mourners and friends had left the
church where Al dersen lies buried,
numbers of poor people rushed In to
gather the flowers and leaves which
had fallen from the coffin. in memory
of the dear old man. Perhaps the
most touching incident of this never
to- be- forgotten day. was that of a poor
woman who, sim,,ly dressed IN peas
ants garb, timidly advanced toward
the altar. and, after eagerly, but IN
vain, searching ali round for Hover
or fallen twig, mumured sadly, half
to herself, "Too late-they're all gone,
as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Do You want a flower. my good mo-
ther r. asked a bystander, moved to

"Ah. yes. good Sir, My boy at home

parted angel often came to see him
when he was i'll, two Winters ago, and
told him "a story, and the doctors say

laying it in her bosom. she turned

Take Care OF the Lambs.

Let teachers and parents weigh well
the significance of the following ex-
tract "A gentleman in England was
walking over his farm with a friend,
exhibiting his crops, herds of cattle and
flocks of sheep, with all of which his
friend was highly pleased, but with
nothing so much as his splendid sheep.
He had seen the same breed frequently
before, but had never seen such noble
specimens, and with great earnestness
he asked to know how he had succeeded
in producing such fiocks. His simple
answer was, Il take care of my lambs,
sir Here was all the secret of his
large, heavy-fleeced, fat sheep-he took
care of them when they were lambs. :"

ON THE STAIRS.
BIZ ]. NEWTON.

Sewing an over and over seam,
Sitting upon the stairs,
Yellow cnrls and apron white,
Rosy lips, puckered up tight
Such q frown she wears.
Such long over and over seam,
Such weary way.
Such little fingers and kinky thread.
20 many shakings Of wise little head
That aches to go to play.
Seventeen stairs. so seventeen pins
Mark on the seam with care. uf
For every step she has measured = space
And when her needle reaches the place
Down she slides one stair.
So she sews on to please mamma
Nor stops for anything;
The cat goes to sleep in the entry way,
Waiting for Bessie to come and play;
Canary ceases to sing.
The long seam done. the last stair reached,
Needle and thimble and thread
Drop from the tired little fingers 1t last.
Slumber closes the eyelidz fast
Down droops the weary head
Mamma, asleep in the room above,
Soundly maps until E.
She suddenly wakes to wonder where
The child has gone she left on the stair
The house is quite too still.
Looking over the banister,

And both asleep on the floor Of the hsll-

Three Degrees Of Love.

There is lovely coincidence over in
Warren county. A young lady, whom
we will call Thompson, is handsome,
cultivated and lovable. Some time ago
she had lover whose name was Good
love. So assiduOus was he in his atten-
tiOns to Miss Thompson that it came TO
be reported that they were engaged"
But one day bright, smart young gen
tleman appeared in the village. He
was a relegrapher, and his name was
Newlove. He soon made the acquaint-
ance of Miss Thompson, and it was not
long before he superseded Mr.. Good
love, and gossip made the newcomer a
suitor for the young lady's hand.
Leonard, the wide awake merchant,
returned home from New York, some
time ago, and brought with him, among
some other extras, a smart young yankee
clerk, who was wonderful salesman
was such a smooth talker that he could
induce people tOpurchase whether they
needed anything or not, and strangely
enough his name was TruelOve. 1t was
not a week until all the young ladies of
the village had been shopping at Leon
ards, and they were delighted with the
captivating clerk. He was such a
charming fellow, and it was a pleasure
to deal with him. Of course Truelove
met Miss Thompson, the village belle,
By odds; and it was soon evident that
he had made an impression upon her.
Newlove was made painfully aware of
the fact. He soon travelled the way of
GOOdlOve, and then gossip said that the
new clerk would wed Miss Thompson,
because. YOU see. he was her third lover
and the third was the charm And,
besides, the very name was ominous.
GOOdlOve was good enough for the time,
until new love was found; but, you
see Truelove appeared, and then the
conditions were met, and they were
married. After all, true love is the
best, if it can be found; but it is not
often that young lady has so smooth a
thing of it As Miss Thompson has

Intelligence Of fnsccts-One day,
while watching column of foraging
ants, EcitOR hdmdtd, placed a stone
on one of them to secnre 1t. The next
that approached, on discovering the
situation of an associate.r ran back in an
excited manner and communicated with
the others, when all rushed To the res
cue, Some hit at the stone and tried
to move 1t, others seized the prisoner
by the legs, and tugged with force
which threatened tn separate them
from IT'S body; but they persevered un-
til they got the captive flee. | next
covered one of the ants with piece of
clay, leaving only the needs of its an
tenne projecting. 1t was soon dis
covered by its fellows, which set to
work immediately, and by biting off
pieces of the clay soon liberated it. On
another occasion very few ants were
passing along at intervals. One OF
these was confined under a piece of
clay, at n little distance from the trail,
with its head projecting. Several ants
went by without seeing it. but at last
it was discovered by a sharp-eyed
friend, that Mt once undertook tn pull
it out. Failing in this, it Immediately
hurried off for assistance. and soon re-
turned with dozen or more cOmpan-
ions, all evidently fully informed of
the circumstances of the case, for they
made directly for their imprisoned
comrade, and shortly set him free.
Can such actions be regarded as in
stinctivef They seem rather To be the
result of sympathy, the ants rendering
to their fellows such assistance As man
is in the habit of rendering to his kind
The excitement and ardOr with which
the ants carried on their unfiagging ex-
ertiOns for the rescue of their comrades,
could not have been greater if they
had been human beings; and this to
meet danger that can be only of the
rarest occurrence.

uan II . Law % Hiaself.

A mans first care should be to avoid
the reproaches Of his own heart; his
next to escape the censures Of the world.
If the last interferes with the former,
it ought to be entirely neglected; but
otherwise there cannot be a greater
satisfaction to an honest mind than to
see those approbations which it gives
itself, seconded by the applauses of the
public. A man is more sure of his
conduct, when the verdict which he
passes upon his own labors is thus war
ranted and confirmed by the opinion Of
all that know him.
