MARGARET

I
Into the garden walked; ne'er had seen her be

Under budding white rose she stood in the shade
Quiet and pale was her face, but maidenly bright
Fair as the newy-born moon, when low in the east

There as stood by her side, my spirit grew happy
and free.
Would had said what I thought. that none would
marry but theei

Into the garden walked; but once had seen her
before,
standing the door;
Then silent aud listening went up TO the curtain
Where she lay shrouded in white, all wintery,
There was look on her face, as if she'd been think
inc Of me.
Dear Ms-garet," then whispered I, ''none viii 7
marry hut thee -
And the far-oh bells were ringing, for twas some
ones wedding day,
And in the meadows close by the mowers were
moving the hay.
Silent and dark was yon lake as under the desolate
hill,
Lit by no CLEAN from the sky it slumbered there;
dreary and still.
Till with its swallow like wing the wind in its wau-
dering flight
Touched into music the reeds. and broke in rip

Silent ana dark Was my heart till suddenly thrilled
by the tone,
Tender and pure, Of the voice, which told me 7
not alone,
Yet how I long to be dead, wheneer, on calm

The far-Of bells are ringing, and the mowers are

An Oysters Heart.

Near the hinge of an oyster is a cavity
which leads TO its stomach. 1t may be
called, with a little license, its mouth !;
not that It has teeth, or that in any way
IL nasticates food, or that 1t indicates
the place of the head, for the oyster
belongs TO a division of mollusks known
as the dcs1haiGtes, or headless ones.
But it is functiOnsliy mouth, and it is
like mouths in two important particu-
lars. 1t is the entrance of the food to
the alimentary canal, and il has certain
lip-ike organs with which to control
the entering of food. II, then, the
oysters mouth is thus situated near the
hinge that part of the creature should
be known as its anterior or forWard END

Our National Vice,

The average American spits, it is
said, Just as the average crow caws,
and, although the people aim so boast
fully at excelling in brain culture, there
seems to be lacking, thus far, the moral
and social cultivation necessary to
shake off this filthy habit, which is
scarcely short of a national vice. In no
other country, civilized or barbarous,
would notices requesting men "not to
spit, out of respect for the ladies" be
called for, and to our shame be it said,
in no country would this modest, rea-
sonable request be so persistently dis
regarded. Nor is the nauseating prac-
tice confined to common youths assert
ing manly freedom, but meu old enough
to have to pay for spoiled dresses are
guilty of an equal disregard for others
rights and feelings. Every woman who
uses to any extent public conveyances
can recall having her clothing soiled-
aud every man of decent habits who
has been sickened by the expectOTa-
ton he has been unable to escape. The
right of man to spit in public convey
ance or building, at the expense of
others clothing, feelings, and comfort,
is no greater than his right TO perform
any other dirty trick.

A Distressing Scene.

The Patterson papers tell the follow
ing distressing story Mrs. Post, wife
of Thomas V. r. Post, residing on the
Erie railway, near Ridgewood, sent her
children to the store, about half a mile
distant, on an errand. They were so
long absent that she feared they would
be late for school, and accordingly
taking her youngest-a little boy of less
than two years along with her, she
started out to look for them and found
them. They not having been 20 the
store or else having forgotten something
she concluded to go herself and send
them on to school. She left the little
cne behind, and started, not intending
to be long gone. Upon returning some
half an hour later she observed as she
neared the track express train No. u
come laundering along at the rate of a
mile a minute, it being two hours be-
hind time. She also saw her child
sitting, carelessly tossing up the sand,
directly between the tracks and In the
way of the incoming train. She rushes
forward and wild with alright almost
precipitated her own body beneath the
iron wheels. So near was she that the
locomotive struck her hands in pa sing,
as she held them forth in her sgonized
attempt to do something for her child
The train passed and the little one vas
| discovered with its head completely
| severed from its body-in fact, eye
witnesses aver that the child's head
/ rolled on one side as the body fell OF
/ the other. The mother is said to have
/ become 8 maniac.

The statistical reports just published
by the agricultural bureau indicate
widespread disaster to the fruit-grow-
ing interest, as viii be seen from the
following notes Insect depredations
are recorded only in Maine, in some
counties of which caterpiIlars were
troublesome. In New England gene
rally the crops were late, and in some
parts a tendency to simultaneous
blooming excited remark. In the
middle, southern and western states
generally, the climatic conditions were
very unfavorable. The severity of the
winter has not only destroyed the fruit
germs, but also the trees. The cold
snap in the spring enlarged the scope
of this injury, and heavy late frosts in
many places destroyed what had sur
vived the winter. In some cases it is
noted that the plums stood the severity
of the season better than other sorts of
fruit. Grapes in many cases escaped
on account of late blooming. but the
vineyards Of several sections we're
greatly depleted by the extreme cold.
Small fruits were less severely affected
and are reported as producing very
luzuriantly.
Con. BoUDNoT, who has just returned
from the Indian Territory, says twenty
seven murder cases have Just been dis
posed of by the United States district
court at Fort Smith, Ark, before which
all criminal business from the Indian
nation comes. Out of this number
there were eight convictions for murder
in the first degree. Seven of those
convicted, including two boys, one
seventeen, the other nineteen years,
both are to be hanged together on the |
3D. of September next. The eighth one, !
a negro, was killed after conviction
while attempting to escape. Much out |
lawry prevails in the indian Territory,
and ten men have been killed in the |
vicinity of Fort Smith within a few
months. A very bitter contest is now
going on in the Cherokee nation for the |
