The Travels of Plants,

Alexander brought rice from Persia to
the Mediterranean, the Arabs carried it to
Egypt, the Moors to Spain, the Spaniards
to America. Lucullus brought the cherry
tree (Which takes its name from Cerasus,
the city Of Pontus, where he found it, to
Rome, as trophy of his Mithridatic
campaign; and l20 years later, or in A.
ID. AS, as Pliny tells us, it was carried to
England Caesar is said to have given
barley to both Germany and Britain. Ac-
cording to Strabo, wheat came originally
from the banks OF the Indus, but it had
reached the Mediterranean before the
dawn of authentic history Both barley
and wheat came to the New World with
its conquerors and colonists, and the
maize which they found here soon went
to Europe in exchange. 1t was known in
England less than fifty years after the
discovery OF America; it was introduced
to the Mediterranean countries by way OF
Spain at the end of the sixteenth century,
and the Nenetians soon carried it 10
the Levant. Later it travelled up the Dan
ube to hungary, and gradually spread
eastward TO China. While ii was thus
invading the regions formerly devoted to
rice, the latter, as we have said, was es-
tabllshing itself in this country.
The sugar cane, which, with its sweet
product, was known TO the Greeks and
Romans only a. curiosity, seems to have
been cultivated in India and China from
the earliest times. It's introduction into
Europe was one of the results of the Cru
sades, and thence it was transplanted to
Madeira, and early in the sixteenth CEN
fury from that island to the West Indies.
The original home of King Cotton was
probably in Persia or India, though it is
also mentioned in the early annals of
Egypt, and had spread throughout Africa
IN very ancient times.
The potato was found in Peru and Chilli
by the first explorers of those countries,
who soon carried it to Spain 1t is said
To have reached Burgundy in 1860, and
Italy about the same time. Il appears to
have been brought from Virginia to Ire
land by Hawkins slave-trader. in 1865;
and to England in 1885 by Drake, who
presented some tubers to Gerard, who
planted them in his garden in London and
described the plant in his HerbaU and it
was also introduced by Raleigh AT ABOUT
the same date. But il was slow To attract
attention, and it WAS not till nearly a cen
fury later tina; it began TO be much culti-
waited. II 1868 the Royal Society pub
llshed rules for its culture. and from that
time II rapidly gained favor. The Dutch
carried il TO the Cape of Good Hope in
1900, and thence it made its way to India.

THE LIFE WORK or DIR. s. G..
HOWE.

How long the wreck-strewn journey seems
To reach the fsr-off past
That woke his youth from peaceful dreams
With Freedoms trumpet-blast!
Along her classic hl!-sides rung
The PAynim's battlo-cfy,
And ike red Cross knight he sprung
For her TO Hive or die.
No trustier service claimed the wreath
For Spart8's braveet son;
No truer soldier sleeps beneath
The mound Of Marathon.
Yet not for him the warriors grave
In front of angry foes:
To lift. to shield, to help, to save,
The holier task he Chose.
He touched the eyelids of the blind,
And 10, the veil Withdrawn.
As DER the midnight OF the mind
He led the light OF dawn.
He asked not whence the fountains roll
To travellers foot has found,
But mapped the desert Of the soul
Untracked by sight or sound.
:, ny siieht myers spelt.
For him who first through depths unknown
His doubtful pathway felt,
Who sought the slumbering sense that lay
Close shut with bolt and bar,
And show d awakening through the ray
of reason morning star!
Whereor he moved, his shadowy form
The sightiess orbs would seek
Aud smiles Of welcome light and wavm
The lips that could net speak.
No labored line. no scnlptors art,
Such haiiowed memory needs;
His tablet IL the human hsart,
His record loving deeds.
The rest that earth denied Is thine
All, is II rest we ask,
Or, traced by knowledge more divine,
Some larger nobler tasky
Had but those boundless fields of blue
One darkcned sphere like this;
But what has Heaven for thee to do
In realms of perfect blissi
No cloud TO lift, no mind 10 clear,
No rugged path to smooth
No struggling soui TO help and cheer,
No mortal grief TO eoothe
Enough; Is there "A world Of love,
o more we ark to know;
The hand viii guide thy ways above
That shaped thy task below.

A PERMANENT INFRINGEMENT.
This is permanent saving, not tenn
porary retrenchment, to be paid for subse-
quently in increased taxes. In Gov. Til
den s own words:
1.-THE people may have the satisfaction
of feeling that while half of their State
taxes are remitted-$S, 100000 out of 5 g.,
000,000-it is accomplished without im
providence OF the future or temporary re-
treuchment which cannot be maintained
and that the appropriations have beer
kept clearly without the means provided
by the taxes levied; so that no temporary
floating debt will be created or invasion o.
the sinking fund made, as has often anC
to large extent, happened hitherto, il
disobeoience to the express commands OF
the Constitution and in violation of tn,
whole scheme and policy of that instru
ment, in respect to the State finances"
