WATCHING THE ROSE BUSH.
Iron the Detroit Free Press.l


Over the ruins of house, which was
| half burned, on dreary, unpaved street
in the eastern part of the city, rose
bush is slowly climbing. 1t is SO small
yet that the passer who glances at the
blackened beams and rafters would not
notice it, but for months it had no one
to cut away the rank grass, give it water
aud help it in its struggles to hide the
sad work of fire. One day little lame
girl discovered the stunted bush, and
her eyes filed with Joy. A father bur
led beyond the sea-a mother i'll Elm
wood-she lived in cottage near the
rose-bush with a queer old couple whose
hearts felt kindly toward the orphan,
but who saw nothing in the rose-bush
beyond what they might have seen IN a
weed.
It was early springime when the
child found the bush, and she carried it
rich earth, lifted the poor twigs with
tender hands, and talked to it as if it
were playmate. Rough boys soon dis
covered why she visited the ruin, and at
first they were mind to pull up the
bush to sec her weep ovel their work.
They remembered that she was lame,
and they went in and helped her move
the blackened timbers, Day by day the
lame girl watched the bush. When the
wind moaned loudly she trembled for
fear it would injure the bush, and when
the rain-drops fell she hoped they would
not strike the leaves too harshly. No
watcher was ever more vigilant. faithful
and patient. She told no one her plans.
One morning q week ago she found
bud. Every day, for days and days,
she had peered among the leaves to see
if bud was forming each day she had
been disappointed, and less brave and
hopeful heart would have despaired.-
She smiled with joy when she found the
bud, and she nestled it in the grass be-
side the bush and watched it. The bud
grew and swelled, and by and by it
opened bit, and the lame girls heart
sang joyful song. Yesterday morning,
when she hurried down to see the rose
bush, the bud had blossomed, and a
deep red rose smiled at her.
There was but one bud-only one rose
it was natures reward COR the child's
patient care and long watching. She
carefully plucked it, and that morning
people driving in Elmwood saw lame
child tenderly drop deep red rose on
''poor folks" grave. No other orna-
ment-no other flower. 1t sank among
the green grass and sparkled and shone
like star of night, and when the tears
of the child fell upon it its lustre was
that of diamond For days and weeks
and months she had tended the rosebud
aud watched over it to secure flower
for the grave without mark or name-a
grave SO like the thousand others that
only love could have told the child that
mothers heart was Wondering there.

HOOsIER DIGGINGS.
Two Indians Uhearth $40 900 in Gold
and Get Away With It.

From the Indianapolis Journal, Aug. PSI
A bonanza has been calmly lying be-
meath the sod of Morgan county for half
century or more. Mr.. Morton Parker,
an honest farmer, three quarters OF
mile from Eminence, who had for years
been following the even tenor of his way,
is awakened too late to the realization
that he was immensely wealthy. On
Wednesday evening, two Indians pre-
sented themselves at Mr.. Parker's house
and asked the situation of a certain
gnarled tree which they said was upon
his farm. The tree was q familiar one
to Mr.. Parker, and he gave the neces-
sary directions for its discovery. Hay
ing good ground for suspicion in the
strange visitors and their seemingly idle
question, he inquired their purpose upon
his land. True to their instincts they
artfully evaded his question, and asked
for a little salt, as they intended to hunt.
Mr. P. was not satisfied, and by more
direct route than he had given them,
r0dCn6Q the Tree uTSG tiuu COuCctilSu ulIu-
self near by, awaiting developments.
After dusk they came, provided, as he
saw by the slight rays of the setting Sun,
with pick and shovel. They surveyed
the Immediate vicinity, and, believing
themselves secure, began to work Wig
orously at the root of the gnarled tree.
They continued till they had made an
excavation of four feet, when they drew
out copper chest about two feet square.
Darkness prevented further operations,
and torch was lighted, and to the as
constituent of Mr.. Parker, they drew
forth several bags of gold, which they
emptied into a sack provided for the
purpose. Mr.. P. is certain that there
must have been 500 in gold. Wild
with excitement, Mr.. p. lost his pres
ence of mind. and with cry Jumped
from his place of concealment and made
for the tree. In an instant all was total
darkness. Mr.. P. heard the rustling of
the leaves and the crack of branches, as
the willy woodmen made good their es-
cape; and that is the last he knows.

EXPLORING A MoUND.-A telegram
from Urbana, O., 23d inst, to Cincin-
natti paper says: s'The exploration of the
mound near this place in which were
found three perfect skeletons of the an
cient mound-builders, was continued
yesterday by members of the Central
Ohio Scientific Association. The result
was the unearthing of the head of the
larger of the three skeletons, which was
well preserved, and its shape indicates
good brain development. Below the
head was found strand of pure pearl
beads, width fine polish. A circular
shoulders, and must have served as q
burial ornament. Near the upper part
of the body were three flint arrow-heads
lying with the points up, pointing as
from the wooden handles which had
been held in the hands of the dead war
rior, but now moldered away. The low
er jaw of this skeleton is perfect. The
mound in which they were found is
about rs feet in diameter and Is in
height, and is covered with an old
growth of oak trees. The box in which
they were inclosed was made of logs
and bark, and was very rudely con-
structed. The explorations will be con-
tinued, and it is believed much more of
interest yet awaits discovery. DR..
Thomas F. Moses, of Urbana University,
a gentleman.of rare scientific knowledge,
has charge of the work, and will leave
nothing undone which may add to the
very limited knowledge of the strange
people who once Inhabited this CONT
nent.'

How Girls are Made Pretty.

The HindOo gir.s are gra elul and
exquisitely formed. From thei ear lest
childhood hey are accustomed to carry
burdens on their heals. The water for
family use is always brought by the girls
in eArthen jars, carefully poised in this
way. This exercise j. said to strengthen
he mus les of the back. while the CHI It is
thrown forward No crooked backs are
seen i'm Hindostsn. DIR Henry Spry. one
of tn cOmpany's medic officers says that
''this exercise OF carrying small vessels of
water on the head mi2ht be advantageous
ly introduced into our b airing schoO and
private families, and that it might Mir, :
ly supersede the present machinery OF
dumb-bells, back-bOards. >kippiDg-rOpes,
etc. The young lady ought to be taught
to carry the jar, as thes HinJOO women
do, without touching it with her hand
the same practice of carrying water leads
to precisely the same results in the south
of Soain and in the s.uth of Italy as In ia.
A Nvapolitan female peasant will carry
