THE TWO ANGELS.
BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.

God called the nearest angels who dwell with Him
above:
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one was
Love.
" Arise" he said, my angels! wall of woe and
Steals through the gates of heaven and saddens all
within.
" My harps take up the mournful strain that from
The smoke of torment clouds the light and blights
the asphodels.
Fly downward to that under world, and On its
souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles like sunshine and Pity tears
like rain!"
Two faces bowed before the throne yelled in their
golden hair;
Four white wings lessened swiftly down the dark
abyss of air.
The way was strange, the flight was long; at last
the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world, red
wrapped in rayless fame.
There Pity, shuddering, wept but Love- with faith
too strong for fear.
Tsok heart from Gods almightiness and smiled
smile of cheer. 8U
And 10 that tear of Pity quenched the flame where
on it fell,
And with the sunshine of that smlle Hope entered
into hell!
Two unvailed faces full of joy looked upward to the
throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him who eat
thereon!
And deeper than the sound of seas, more soft than
falling flake,
Amidst the hush Of wing and song the Voice Eter-
nal spake:
g Welcome, my angels! we have brought holier
joy to heaven;
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the song of
sin forgiven !"

The Consumption of Lead.

Says the San Francisco Bulletin !:
The United States consumes sixty thou
sand tons of lead every year. Every
pouxd of this can be produced at home.
And yet, with bounty of two cents a
pound in the shape of protection, we
last year imported seven thousand tons
of lead; producing at the same time fifty
three Thousand tons. Two countries
only, Spain and Great Britain, are pro-
duclng more lead than the United States.
It would only require a slight increase
of lead to give us surplus for export;
nor can any limit be placed on future
production. We do not need any pro-
lection. Lead can be produced in this
country as cheaply as in any other.
Lead has become an incident of silver
mining everywhere west of the Rocky
mountains. Argentiferous galena is
found everywhere. A few years ago the
miner did not know what to do with his
base metal. Now he wants nothing bet
ter than to find that his silver mine is
carrying large proportion of lead. The
day is not far distant when fifty thou
sand tons of lead will be annually
shipped from the port of San Francisco
to Europe. And this will be done with
out the aid of bounties III the shape of
protection. Lead will be parted from
SILVER. and both products will be sold in
the market. The consumption of lead
in the civilized world is enormous, and
it is increasing rapidly. The cheaper it
becomes the more general will be Its
use.

How to Keep Bouquets Fresh.

There are various recipes for keeping
bouquets fresh. Some people stick
them in moist sand; others, again, use a
few drops of ammonia. My rule is, to
cool the TONERS thoroughly at night.
When The long day of furnace-heat has
made the roses droop and their stems
limp and lifeless, I clip them little,
and set them to float in marble basin
full of very cold water. In the morning
they come out made over into crisp
beauty, as fresh and blooming as If just
gathered. All flowers, however, will
not stand this water cure. Heliotrope
blackens and falls to pieces under it;
azaleas drop from their stems, and
mignonette soaks away its fragrance.
For these I use dry, cold air. wrap
them in cotton wool, and set them on a
shelf in the ice chest! I can almost
hear you laugh, but really am not
Joking. Flowers thus treated keep per-
fectly for week with me, and often
longer. c., IN st. Nicholas for No

MOTHER TONGUE.
How the Presidents English is Murdered
at Washington.

How the Presidents English is Murdered
at Washington.
ICor. Louisville Courier-Journall
There are not few foreigners among
those who wish to see all that Wash
ington has to offer. An English
man who was stopping at the Ebbitt
House started out for walk, and after
visiting the treasury asked to be shown
the Presidents residence. The White
House was pointed out to him. Then
he inquired, "Does the President see
strangers "Oh, yes; he sees every
body" sis he at home now?" in
CURED the Englishman. Damfno,"
was the reply. Somewhat puzzled, the
Englishman left, but, before entering
the Executive Mansion, he thought it
would be little awkward to introduce
himself, and concluded that it would be
best to have Sir Edward Thornton pre-
sent him. He stopped the first man he
met and asked, "Do you know the
British Minister 2" "Oh, yes, said the
man, CT know him very well. L see
him down here every evening in his
shirt sleeves playing baseball" "Can
you tell me where he lives ?'' "Dam-
tino," was the curt reply, and the Eng
lisbman felt satisfied that he was mis-
taken when he supposed that Americans
spoke the EnglisA language. AS he
had an acquaintance at the hotel, he
thought he had better seek an explana-
ton of word that though inexplicable
to him seemed to be in such general use
and so full of meaning as to settle every
inquiry, and leave no room for rejoin-
der. With blush of shame at knowl-
edge of his ignorance, he went to his
friend and said: 6 In England we have
different dialects, and it is hard to under
stand some of our countrymen. Will
you be kind enough to tell me the mean
ing of Damfno e." His bewilderment
was increased when the answer to his
question came" Damfno." The be-
logged Englishman has left the city and
gone where he hopes never again to hear
that common but unintelligible word,
''Damfno."
Many years ago Polish gentleman
was visiting this city, and anxious to
acquire our language. One of the
phrases used sadly puzzled him-Ter-
factervitis. DR.. Pyne was rector of st.
Johns Church at that time, and, as the
Pole knew him to be man of great
erudition, he went to him and said: 81
have looked in the dictionaries and en-
cyclopedias and can't find the word
Terfactervitis;' what does it signif-~ 2"
DR.. Pyne proved his erudition by dis
covering that he had run all together the
much-used expression, "The fact of it
is" We must mend our speech or we
will have to be taught our language
through foreigners who speak it accu-
rately, though broken by accent.

Diving for Drink.

One of the hottest regions of the earth
is along the Persian Gulf, whore little or
no rain falls. At Barhin the arid shore
has no fresh water, yet comparatively
numerous population contrives to exist
there, thanks to copious springs which
burst forth from the bottom OF the sea.
The fresh water is got by diving. The
diver, sitting in his boat, winds a great
goatskin bag around his left arm, the
hand grasping its mouth; then he takes
in his right hand heavy stone, to which
is attached a strong line, and THUS
equipped he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly opening
the bag over the strong jet OF fresh wa
ter, he springs up in the ascending cur
rent, at the same time closing the bag,
and is helped aboard. The stone is then
hauled up, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges again. The source of
these copious submarine springs is
thought to be in the green hills of Oman
some 500 or 600 miles distant. -Neq0
