TIE HEART THAT'S TRUE.

Tell me not of sparkling gems,
Set In royal dindems;
You may boast your diamonds rare
Rubies bright, and gems 80 fair;
But there's peerless gem on earth,
OF richer ray and purer worth;
'Tis prieslese, but 'tis worn by few
It il. it is the heart that's true.
Bring the tulip and the rose,
While thei: brilliant beauty CLOVIS;
Let the storm-cloud fling shade,
Rose and tulip, both will fade;
But there's flower that still IL found,
When mist and darkness close around,
Changeless, fadeless in its hue
Il b, 1t is the heart that's true.
Ardent in its earliest tie,
Faithful in its latest sigh
Love and friendship, godlike pair,
Find their throne of glory there,
Proudly scorniug bride and threat.
Naught can break the seal once set.
AL the evil gold can do
Cannot warp the heart that's trus.

vanderbilt'sV ices.

George Peabody deserved his repn.
tation for his benevolence. He earn
ed it fairly by magnificent gifts.
The broadest charity could hardly
have endowed the late John Jacob
Astor with similar attribute let US
see how.much of the landation bestow-
ed upon Commodore Vanderbilt is
deserved. He donated to an institu-
ton oflearning in Tennessee consid-
cradle sum Of money, and shortly be-
fore his death bestowed upon it an ad-
ditional sum of $4,000. A very
short time after this magnificent gift,
the common laborers on his road were
cut down to ninety cents day, the
gift of the University being even real
lied off from the reduced wages Of TIL
EMPLOYEES on the New York Central.
Stock. in the New York Central
was at one time considered reliable
investment where dividends were GER
tain. A regular dividend of eight per
cent. and ten per cent. was paid;
and such was the confidence felt
throughout the State of New York,
that thousands of families and minors
had their all invested in the stock.
anderblt became owner, and for
years the road has made nodividends,
and SO extensively has the stock been
| watered, that it no longer possesses
any value as an investment.
There is no great road, East or
West, that provides SO poorly for the
safety of the passengers. Air-brakes,
frequent telegraph stations, etc, have
never been adopted, the track is in a
poor condition. and despite its pleas
ant natural location, commanding
more of the sea-board than any other
line, the road presents a general shah
biness which could have been remedi.
ed very easily, if its earnings had not
been diverted from what should have
been their legitimate purpose, and
used for Wall street operations.
The Vanderbilts, father and son.
have had the reputation of having
long heads, but it is pretty generally
known that Tom Scott, of Pennsyl-
vania road. and Garrett, of the Balti
more and Ohio have proved by Their
far reaching shrewdness in all oftheil
business transactions with the New
York Central, to have longer ones.
II will be a relief to the stockhold
ers of the New York Central when
the Vanderbilt reign is over
and the city of New York cannot dc
otherwise than sympathise with this
feeling, as it is well.known that it has
been a great sufferer from.their supre'
macy. Vanderbilt lived over three
| quarters of century, aud in all o
that time he lived for himself alone
The great mass of struggling writbing
suffering humanity never entered into
his calculations; he did nothing fol
their amelioration, nor nothing for thu
ennobline and development of his
own character, for the best men have
been those who have devoted theil
| lives to their fellow men. A. nj +

The Shadow of an ASS.

The Greeks had proverb that run
thus:-":To dispute on the shadow of
an ass" This took rise from an an
ecdote which Demosthenes is said to
have related to the Athenians to ex
cite their attention during his defense
of criminal which was being but in
attentively listened to. "a traveller,
he said, "once went from Athens to
Megara on hired ass. 1t happened
to be the time of the dog days, and at
noon He was much exposed TO the
unmitiyated heat o. The sun, and not
as much as a bnsh uuder which to
take shelter, he besought himself 20
descend from the ass and seat himself
under his shadow. The owner of the
donkey, who accompanied him, OBJ
iected to this, declaring to him that
when he let the animal the use of its
shadow was not included in the bar
gain. The dispute at last grew so
warm that it got to blows, and finally
gave rise to action at law" After
having said so much, Demosthenes
continued the defense OF his client ;
but the auditors, whose curiosity he
had piqued, were extremely anxious
to know how the Judges decided on
so singular a cause. Upon this the
orator commented severely on their
childish injustice in devouring with
attention paltry story about an asses
shadow, while they turned deaf ear
to cause in which the life of human
being was involved. From that day
when man showed a preference for
discussing small and contemplate
subjects to great and important ones,
he was said "to dispute on the shadow
of an ass"

A Novel Incident.

A party of converts stood at the
ehancel rail in a Sandusky church
ready TO be made members. One
was girl who had been regarded as
the belle of the place She interrupted
the ceremony by saying that she de.
sired to make confession. She knew
that she had been looked on as a good
girl but she wasn't. She was guilty
of terrible sin, of which she had not
even been suspected. This little
speech excited the curiosity of the
congregation to high degree. She
then said she had been married a year
that the ceremony hid been regularly
but privately performed aud that
she had kept the fact secret because
she was not ready t, forega the iun
of going into society Is an artess, aud
unfettered maiden. The husband
stepped forward AMI corroborated his
wife's story. They went to housekeep-
ing the following day.

Better Jury System.

The Chicago Bar Association have
concluded "that, as rule, the juries
as they have for some years past, anC
are now composed, have not only
failed in intelligence, but they have
been injected with corruption; that il
has not only been possible, but has
been common, for brokers or parties
interested to cause to be impaneled in
causes juries who have been partisan,
preiudiced, ignorant, aud dishonest;
and that in cases even of ordinary i'm
portanceit is now impracticable to SO.
cure a true verdict upon the evidence
That this state of things can long con.
tiuue without disaster to the admin
istration of justice, the property OF
citizens, and the welfare of the peo-
pie is not to be hoped" The chief
cause of the corruption is said to be
the system, sustained by the manipu
lations of the jury box by the Court
Clerks, of fsvoring certain parties ty
habitually offering of their names,
thus giving them the character of pro-
tessional jurors, The Association
thinks the evil is not in the law itself,
but in the manner of administering it,
and a committee has been appointed
to present the subject ma tier to the
Judges of the Codrts, the Clerks
thereof, the Sheriff and the Board OF
County Commissioners, asking their
cooperation in the enforcement oil
the law in all its parts. The subject
merits consideration throughout the
country

The ground should be prepared for

soil two feet, it will be found to dry
out less than if loosened only one foot.
Plant NO deeper than is necessary to
keep the roots of the tree in the soil,

large stones around the tree when

hardens the soil
Evergreens should be set where the
