Japanese Gardens.

| Among the conilers will be noted
| young plants of that Japanese species
which may be seen under the wing of
the Japanese building-quaint pigmies
OF trees, not three feet high, yet over
seventy years old. They are gnarled
and twisted as If they had fought the
winds and caught their picLuresqueness
Of torm-as old oaks catch theirs-by
battling with tempesLs and wintry
storms upon the hills.
| And yet these dWarfed trees are thor.
| oughly creatures of art. BY examining
| closely the specimens in the Japanese
ground, you will see traces of the
dwarting process. The leading shoots
have been clipped, or bent downward; /;
the lateral branches turned in and tied
| back; lusty limbs twisted and Wrenched
| into quaint pOstureS; marks Of the tor
| turing-pins, and bands ami cuts are still
| observable: it is crippled dwarf of a
| tree, made quaint and picturesque by
! its years of struggles against the tolls OF
| the gardener.
Is there a compensating beauty in
themI Not, surely, as we reckon the
| beauty of plant-growtn. But consider
| that the Japanese, in their horticultural
system, have offices for such dwarfed
monarchs OF trees to fill. With them,

The aim is-WithIn however limited an
area-to present a complete landscape,

Under such miniature presentment,
trees and plants must be dwarled to

OBITUARY.,

Happy childhood round the hearthstone
OF the home through life so dear,
But since mothers voice is silent
lean not be SO happy there.
What IS home without mother;
What is life without her carer
Father, sister, friend, nor brother
None canfin the vacant chair.
In the churchyard midst the flowers,
w mere the green grass never dies;
Where the spring birds come to carol,
There is where my mother lies.
There's the spot on which I'VE pondered
Long, and wished that l could save
The sad event from ever coming,
When should weep at mothers grave.
Though naught can stay the sage old Reaper
Naught can rid this life OF gloom:
Despite the pangs of sorrow Weakened,
I've looked upon my mothers tomb.D
Autumn leaves are fastly falling,
Time is rolling swiftly by,
And in language plainly tell us
Soon, like mother, al must die.
Mothers gone from earth forever,
And on earth we'll meet no more
Would that l could know she safely
Landed on the other shore.
That other shore so wrapt in mystery
or which we only can surmise
We dwell in thought, but haveno history
OF eternity that's in the skies.
Though many things In life assure us.
AS onward through this vale we plod,
That when we're called to meet our Maker,
we meet just, impartial Gou.

Frightful Tragedy in France.

A frighttul tragedy is reported from
Vllle-Neuyelle-Cugn a village near
Toulouse. A labOrer named Delboscu
was living with his wife and sster-in-

slSter-ln-laW was about to be married in
few days, and claimed certain articles
OF furniture belonging to her, as well as
the payment of sum of 600 francs
which she had lent to Delboscq. On
hearing this the man became furious,
and during the night quarreled with his
vile, who threatened to summon him be.

frenzy, and selling u spade, he beat the
poor woman to death. Not satisfied
with this, he mounted to the second
story, where his sister-in-law was Sleep
ing with Nine. Lacroix, and murdered
both OF them with the same weapon. He
then went down stairs and vented his
fury ON the furniture, smashing every
thing in the place. Here apparently his
rage was quelled by tear oil the results
of his atrocious acts, for after an at
tempt to cut his throat, probably inef-
tectual through nervousness, he drank
OIL the contents OF a bottle of petroleum,
rushed out of doors and threw himself
into the canal, whence he was rescued
by some grape pickers who happened to
be near the spot. A doctor was quickly
called, who, by the prompt administra-
ZION OF emetics, succeeded In saving. the
lie of the murderer; but his three VIC

blows he had inflicted on them. When
brought before the magistrate he made
full confession, and related all the de.
