HISTORICAL NOTES.

The first theater ever established in
America was at Williamsburg, Va, in
September, 1852.
ST. DENYs, the patron saint of France,
was Bishop of Paris, and suffered mar
tyrdom in that city in the year 272.
BEN JoNsoN survived his friend and
patron, Shakespeare, twentyone years,
he dying in 1887, at the respectable age
of "a.
The Apostles Greed, the Lords
Prayer, and the Ten Commandments
were translated from the Latin into the
Saxon tongue as early as 746.
The word fauna in the title page of a
book means that it gives an account of
the animals of particular country or
district. The word is derived from
Faunus; rural deity of the Romans.
THE last year when there were five
Sundays in February was 1852. 1t will
not occur again till February, 1880.
The1e can only be five Sundays in
February in a leap year, and then only
when the first of the mouth falls on
Sunday.
BUCKLES for shoes are mentioned as
early as the reign of Edward w.; but
they were most likely used to fasten the
strap that crossed the instep at one side
of the shoe, and must have been ex-
ceedingly small. Buckles, instead of
shoe-strings, were worn by Charles Ii.
in 1866, when he adopted fanciful cos
tune. But the earliest date assigned to
the shoe-buckle, properly SO called, is
1880. They became general in the reign
of Queen Anne.
The stocking frame was originally an
English invention. In 1899 William
Lee, M. A., and Fellow of st. Johns
College, Cambridge, invented the first
stocking-frame. Lee was born at Wood
borough, in Nottinghamshire, and is
said to have been heir to good estate.
Tradition ascribes the origin of his in
vention to a pique he had taken against
a townswoman with whom he was in
love, and who, it seems, neglected his
passion She got her livelihood by
knitting stockings, and with the ungen-
erous object of depreciating her employ
ment he constructed his frame, first
working at it himself, then teaching his
brother and some other relatives. He
practiced his new invention some time
at Calverton, village about five miles
from Nottingham, and either he or lis
brother is said to have worked for Queen
Elizabeth. Stowe says that Lee not
only manufactured stockings in mis-
/ frame but &c waistcoats and divers other
! things

NUMBER "a.
SATURDAY NIGHT.

Placing the little hats all in row,
Ready for church on the morrow you know,
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white;
That is what mother is doing tonight
Spying ont holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that worn through the toes
Looking DER garments so faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin
Changing button to make it look right
That is what mothers doing tonight.
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their evening prayer,
Telling them stories of Jesus of old,
Who loved to gather the lambs to His told
Watching, they listen with weary delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
Creeping SO softly to take last peep,
After the little ones all asleep;
Anxious to know if the children are warm.
Tucking the blankets round each little form;
Kissing each little face rosy and bright
That is what mothers doing tonight.
Kneeing down gently beside the white bed,
Lowly and meekly she bows down her head,
Praying as only mother can pray:
''God guide and keep them from going astray."

TEL CULTURE.

While labor is high priced and of poor
quality, it is hopeless to believe that tea
can be proftably produced in the United
States. Hundreds of experiments have
been made IL years past with the tea
plant in various parts of the States for
the purpose of ascertaining if it was
adapted to our soil and climate; and, al
though in many instances they have
proved successful, SO far as the growth
of the plant was concerned, still the high
price of labor has heretofore prevented
its cultivation. Of late, experiments in
tea-culture have attracted considerable
attention in California; but the same
difficulties which have attended it else
where in this country prevent any coz
siderable progress.

TEMPER.

A cheerful temper in a house is like
perpetual sunshine, gladdening and en-
livening every one, in the presence of
which you forget your troubles and
would be ashamed to remember your
annoyances but a bad temper spoils
everything. Offense taken at airy moth
ings, Impotence under unavoidable wor-
ries, small things made into great ones
by the magnifying powers of suspicion,
sullenness, irritability, ill-humor-
can say that all this has no influence
You might as well deny the stinging
power of a midge or the penetrating
quality of dust as deny the depressing
effect of ill-humor wherever it is found,
and the corresponding good influence of
sweet temper. Also, the imitation of
either the one or the other, as it may
chance which rules, is very sure to break
out in the younger and weaker of the
family

TWO 4PPLE-TREES.

It happened thus on one green afternoon,
When harvest fields were waiting for their moon,
And fruit was ripe and good,
That two amid the orchard grasses strayed,
While apricots and yellow peaches made
Bright stains on the warm wood.
And on branch that hung right overhead
Two golden apples grew, hecked through with red
Grew perfect side by side.
They are for u.s. sweetheart; Love made them fan
With color of thy cheeks and of thy hair;
Come, gather them, sweet bride"
She stood tptoe in the pleasant place;
The swaying leaves made shadows on her face,
The apples touched her feet.
20 Now this is mine, and this is thine but we
viii make of them gracious memory
They too fair to eat.'
Then, half in loving earnest half in mirth,
They hid the fruit within the rich, warm earth;
And year by year there grew
Two trees that made green shadows by their door,
And bore of golden apples wealthy store
Gold fruit fecked rosy through;
Two kindly trees that when the children played
In autumn nights within their scented shade
Would freely drop their store,
Or shed with lavish grace their sweetest flowers
Upon our lovers in the spring-time hours,
Telling the old tale DER;
Two tress that always thought one couple far,
One aged couple crowned with silver hair,
Who hold without sigh
Sweet sessions, where clear Memory sat content,
serenely satisfied with life well spent,
And Immortality.
There are two graves beneath two apple-trees-
Two happy graves, made by the sweet spring
breeze
With apple blossoms white;
Tapped in cool grasses when June roses blow
In autumn's splendor, or in winters snow,
Always peaceful sight.

CATTLE PLAGUE IN OHIO.

A cattle plague, thought to be aspecies
of the Texas fever, has broken out among
the cattle in the surrounding country.
Texas cattle this year are covered with
ticks of two varieties, the bite of which
is poisonous to the blood. Many cattle
are dying daily. Several cases of chill
dren having been poisoned by drinking
of infected milk have already come to the
notice of the city physicians. Beef is
affected by the disease, but can be easily
detected by experts. The disease is
said to be very nfectious.-Cl Cleveland
