Sometimes the ants have long and
sanguinary battles, and in cases Of long
contest anti fatigue the friends of the
warriors have been seen to come to
their aid and bring them nourishment;
this is transferred in the form of a
fluid from one ant to another. There
is one story in this volume of war
rior ant who was fed in this manner
by an enemy, and there-upon went
over to the side of his foes, fought on
their side and remained with them.
confess that when I read in this
history of the organization, the march.
ing Of the armies, the battles and the
plunderings of the ants, seem to be
re-reading of the drill, the marching,
the fighting, the robbing Of our heroic
continental nations to-day, and in the
sight of the Great Being who made
both ants and men, l don't know
which is the most important.
One thing more and am done. Mr..
Darwin, reasoning from analogy, pro-
pounded the theory that an ant colony
that had never had slaves might by
some chance or accident become 4
slave-holding colony. That is that the
cnSlaV1nS OI Lnelr fellows was not
necessarily an original instinct-to use
a word by which we hide our ignorance
Of animals and of ourselves. DR.. For

DRY: and I hear, much to the delightof
Mr.. Darwin, he found, and for a long
time observed an ant-hill in which
there,were no slaves. He then him.
self, brought from another hill some
larvae, and introduced them into the
free republic. The republicans hatch
ed out the stranger eggs and made
slaves of the young, and continued
afterward, what they had never been
before, a slave-holding nation. can
not defend the doctors scientific but
wicked deed. And I hope it will not
trouble him in his dying moments.

A Revolutionary Relic.
From the Boston Herald.


Twenty-Five years ago, when the
Boston Neck was first paved, the stump
OF post was exposed to view by the
workmen employed, and an old resi-
dent, named Ware, whose memory
went back to Revolutionary times, and
who then resided at the corner of Ded-
ham and Washington streets, came out
of his house and informed Mr.. Thomas
r. Pierce, who had charge of the gran
tie work of the city at that time. that
the post Of which the stump formed a
part was the. identical one to which
Washington hitched his horse at the
time Boston was evacuated bv the
British in l776, and that it was exactly
upon the line of barricade that the
Provincials had erected for the pur-
pose of keeping the British within the
limits Of the town. In order to mark
the spot Mr.. Pierce prepared a granite
block, and with his own hands set it
directly over the stump, and had a no.
tice OF the fact made in the newspa-
pers of the day. Some years later.
when the track Of the horse railroad
was laid, and the pavements were re.
set, Mr.. Pierce took good care to locate
his monument stone exactly in the
same spot. Last season the streets
were repaved with wooden blocks, and
while the work was in progress the
stump was again exposed to view, still
in good preservation, and from it sew
eral large fragments were obtained.
Being still in the employ of the city at
his old trade OF cutting granite, Mr..
Pierce had chiseled upon the stone the
figures of l776 upon one side and 1875
upon the other, and reset it in the
same place the workmen joining in
appropriate commemorative services.
and he pronouncing over it the follow
ing benediction We thank thee, good
Lord, for saving the Nation one centu-
ry; we trust he will save it for an.
other.

This aunt was an earnest woman of
more than ordinary strength and abil.
ity OF character, and her christian cul.
ture and training bore early fruit in
the children.
Mrs. Jencks became a christian at
the age of fifteen, and united with the
Congregational church in Conway.
She commenced 10 teach school
when but fifteen years of age, and af.
ter teaching for a short time, went TO
school at Mt. Holyoke, under that ear.
nest christian educator, Mary Lyon.
She then taught in Springfield, and
other places for a number of years,
and until her marriage.
They came west in 1851, to Illinois;
in 1854 to Minneapolis, and in 1857 to
River Falls, where they have since re.
sided.
There was given to them a little son
who lived TO be four years old, and died
on his fourth birthday. This was to her
a very great affection, for her mother.
ly instincts were so strong as TO emin.
emily fit her to cherish, and love, and
delight in such a child.
These same motherly instincts inspir.
ed by enlarged desires to be useful,
lead her to receive all through her life,
one after another of the motherless
and orphan to her home. In this she
has done work which only eternity
can disclose. Not less than eight
young ladies have been received to her
home and have felt the influence of
her christian training and character.
one OF these is now missionary in
Japan. Not few young men, and
some not very young, have felt her in.
tiuence, and should gratefully confess
their obligations to her friendly and
motherly interest and influence.
Mrs. Jencks was a woman of more
than ordinary mind and culture. She
had keen sense of right and wrong.
an almost instructive judgment of
character, coupled with a very tender,
sympathetic, christian heart, render
lhg her a very wise and faithful adyis.
er TO many who learned TO cOnfde in
her and prize her friendship. She had
enlarged christian benevolence to the
extent, and even beyond her means.
and felt keenly every interest of the
church and cause of Christ.
Her departure is a loss to us all. but
we are assured that her life has been
a useful one, and her treasure is with
Christ. Although habtually self-dis.
trustful in life, her affection wrought
in her that at last she was full of con.
tidence and rest in her Redeemer. AT.
ter being long great sufferer, she
was at last released without struggle.
She leaves an aged husband and an
adopted daughter to whom her loss is
irreparable on earth, but who are sur.
rounded and cherished by numerous
friends among whom they have so long
resided. W. G.
