The Spaniards have a maxim, that man is un.
grateful to the past generation that planted the
trees from which he eats and deals unjustiy with
the next generation unless he plants the seed Of
that frnit, that it may furnish food for those who
come after him. Thus when a son ofSpain cats
peach or pear by the roadside, wherever he is, he
digs with his foot in the ground, and covers the
pit or the core. Consequently, all over Spain, by
the roadside and elsewhere, fruit in great abun
dance tempts the taste, and is ever free. This i
an easily wrought charity, snd al
evidence OF noble soul Let this prac'
tce be initiated in our own country, AM
the weary wanderer will be blessed, and bless tn
hand and the liberal charity that ministered to hi
comfort and JOY. We bound TO leave thu
world as good or better than We found it. There
fore, no young man should vote OF marry till he
has planted at least one tree n an evidence O.
good citizenship. Let the trees be thus plantes
and be guarded, and unborn generations may b
grateful to this.-.Saco Indepeadent

1ade was 8 massacre. Every man was killed
every woman was killed, and every child ex-
cept one Months and months after the
butchery an agent. especially commissioned
by the Government went out to this nor
rfole Golgotha. Long, fair hair abOunded
there still. The tuskB of the wolves had
tangled il in with the stalks of the grasses
and the stems of the shrubs that grew ali
about and rank. The little skeletons were
pitiful. THE bones Of one hundred and thir-
ty men, women and children were gatheref
up and buried. < years the country, be-
lieved that the Indians had massacred
the emigrants, bIt the truth came TO be
known at last. Disguised as Indians, Lee and
his band attacked the emigrants the first five
days of the siege. Finding it impossible
TO capture them or disl"dge them, they
threw off the Indian disguise, gained their
confidence under flag of truce as friends,
prevailed upon them TO give up their arms,
and then butchercd them as 20 many or
sheep
Well, it Is the trial of the perpetrators Of
the horrible outrage that Is now going on,
and the leader of the muTderous rutfans,
though, it is said, his volunteer testimony
has been refused. This man at the time of
the massacre was Mormon Bishop OF
Harmony, and one of the three chiefs
who planned this cruel assassination.
lie appears TO have been a peculiarly
atroci0us scoundrel; for it is related in
the accounts OF the massacre which we have
seen that while THE Mormons were killing
the men this Lee singled out a beautiful
young girl and dragged her out o. the metee
for his own vile purposes; and he himself
Is said to have related afterward that ''she
struck at him with large knife, whereup N
he snot heI through the head" So late as
1870 this scoundrel still lived at Harmony
in Utah; and now IN the hands of Justice it
is to be hoped he will not escape hanging.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with
palpltation, another with trouble of the breast
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent doctors, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when in reality they are all symptoms
caused by some uterine disorder and while they
are thus only able perhaps to palliate for time,
they are ignorant of the cause, and encourage
their pratice until large bills are made when the
suffering patients are no better in the end, but
probably worse for the delay, treatment, and
other complications made, and which proper
medicine directed to the cause would have
entirely removed, thereby instituting health
and comfort instead of prolonged misery

The Song of the Canary.

It was time to SOW the seeds in the
er-garden. So the gardener brought
out the seed-box and set it upon the grass
plot, while he put on his thinking-cap
for few minutes.
Each kind of seed lived in a little
paper house by itself, with it's name
plainly printed Oh the front-door, for the
seeds Of one family are never allowed to
associate with those of other families as
long as they are nothing but seeds.
After they grow to be plants and flowers
it's quite another thing. Then they are
old enough and big enough to choose
their own companions, and if the peoples
see fit to nod to the marigolds, and the
morning glories to throw kisses to the
geraniums, it is nobody's business but
their own.
Well, in one Of these paper houses (by
the by, girls and boys call them small
envelopes, but then girls and boys don't
know what they are talking about half
the time) had lived the lady-slipper seeds
all the long, cherries winter.

DisgracefuI Row in the Pennsylvani:

Disgraceful Row in the Pennsylvania
House of Representatives
A dispatch from Harrisburg gives the
following particulars of q disgraceful
scene In the lower house of the Penn
sylvania Legislature "Mr Talley,
Democrat, OF Delaware county, made a
motion to refer the petition of citizens of
Lancaster city contesting the seat of D.
?. Rosenmiller, a Republican, as mem
Der OF the Legislature, to the Committee
on the Judiciary The Republicans raised
the point OF order that the petition was
not properly before the House, that body
having not been legally organized when
the petition was originally introduced.
Speaker Patterson decided against the
Republicans, when an appeal was taken,
and his decision was sustained by large
majority. Wolfe, Republican, of Union
county, raised the further point of order
that it required two-thirds of those pres
ent to take up the petition under the
suspension of the rules. The Speaker
rendered an adverse decision, and enter
tanned a motion to adjourn Wolfe
sprang to his feet and insisted that he
had a right to be heard on his point.
The Speaker declared him out of order,
as no appeal had been taken from his de-
cislon, and a motion to adjourn was not
debatable. Mr.. Wolfe insisted that he
was not out of order, when the Speaker
commanded him to take his seat, and Wolfe
refusing to obey, he called into requisition
the services of the Sergeant-at-Arms, who
proceeded to execute the order of the
Chair. The Republicans Kissed the pro-
ceeding, and the Democrats applauded
it, Wolfe continuing yelling at the top of
his voice until the Sergeant-at-Arms
seized him. The hall of the House pre-
sented scene of indescribable confusion,
and the Republican members rushed to
the defense of their colleague and
wrested him from the hands of the
Sergeant-at-Arm In the midst of the
commotion the Speaker adjourned the
House. During the melee pistols were
drawn, and for time it was feared that
blood would be she'd"
