The Rose a symbol of Heaven.
From a BssCher Sermon.

When a man takes an exquisite
rose, and admires it without thinking
about 1.-THE admires it truly; but if he
says, 81 am going into my laboratory,
and | am bound TO know what are
the elements of the color that is in it,
and what is the structure Of its petals"
he may gain some knowledge, but
where is the rose? What has be-
come of it, when he has learned what
is ITS chemistry, and what are its
qualities 1t is gone, and it never
can come back again. Nor can any
other rose come in the place of it, so
long as he is thinking of science. A
rose may be accepted and enjoyed by
our senses and ssnsibilitics; but the
moment we take it apart, and analyze
it, and scrutinize it, we have lost it.
1t cannot be touched with impunity.
1t ceases to be rose when you lay
the material law or measure upon il.
Now, when you take governments,
courts of justice, worldly policies, the
rude forms of human procedure, aud
the low experiences of earth, and hit
them into the other life, and UNDER
take to conform heaven to them.
and lay it out in parallelograms, and
make it a four square city, you fail
to get any idea of it. Is there any
thing more beautiful than the thought
that the heavenly gate is of pearlg
The first idea which flashes through
mans mind, when he hears the
statement, is one of grandeur and
magnifcence but when he says, 81
should like to see what kind of
pearl oyster produced such peaEl,"
and looks at it from mechanical
point of view, the glory of the thought
vanishes. When we read of the
precious stones that, were built into
the walls, we think of these stones
in their radiance and subtitle e,and,
in our imagination, they are things
of beauty but the moment we be-
gin to play mason, and think of
jasper, sapphire, and other precious
stones, extending round the city, one
upon another, we have reduced them
from their ineffable condition to
gross and miserable farce. We have
materialized these figures. They
were designed to touch the imagi-
nation they were given for the sake
of enabling a man to take matter
and spirtnalize it; but when you
take such spiritualistic representa-.
tons, and undertake to analyze them,
or reason about them, you material
ize them. One is process of ele-
walton, and the other process of
degradation.

Turnfps De clared Sure Cure for
Hog Cholera.
From the Hannibal (Mo.) Clipper.


Major John Million, well-known
citizen of Laplata, Macon County, has
great faith in turnips as a sure cure
for the disease known as hog cholera.
SO great is his faith that he has fled
a claim with the State Government
for the $4,000 reward offered by the
Legislature for remedy for that dis
ease. Major Million was a commits
sioner in the Confederate army. While
acting in that capacity he had charge
at one time of many thousand head of
hogs, which were collected together
in Mississippi when the cholera broke
out among them. Immediately upon
discovering the prevalence Of the dis.
ease he says he began to exert him
self to save as many as possible, keep
ing the infected ones apart

Socrates.

Socrates was not simply mora
philosopher he was in tho highest
sense of the term, a religious teacher.
In the "Ph@do," after proving that
the soul is imperishable, he asks,
"What manner of persons, therefore
ought we to be? If death had been
the end of all things, then the wicked
will gain by dying. But now as the
soul appears to be immortal, no re-
lease or salvation from evil can be
found except in the attainment of the
highest virtue and wisdom For the
soul in her journey to the world below
carries nothing with her but her ma
ture and character. eve shall in
Hades suffer the punishment of our
misdeeds here" When we hear him
tell his judges with apostolic bcldness
that he ''must obey God rather than
man." we recall Peters words to the
council in Jerusalem five centuries
later.
Socrates taught that morality and
religion are inseparable--a lesson
that the heather nations never learned
and that the Hebrew nation was al
ways forgetting. And in copying
their example, Christians have sadly
and ruinously put asunder what God
has joined together. He admitted no
distinction between the idea of good
and the idea of divinity.
Socrates, writes Pressense,
"breathed new life into conscience
and thought. 1t was his profound
insight into the true and the good
that constituted the originality and
power of this noble philosopher, who
more than any other labored to de,
stroy polytheism.--National Repos-
torn

AWAY back in 1864, Mr.. John
Woods, of Galloway County, Mis-
souri,, went out to try his fortune in
Montana, taking with him old Sam,
one of the darkies who had grown up
on the home place. Sam had for
years, even before he was free, had
pretty much his own way, and was
we'll known as sensible and witty
fellow. In Montana he picked up odd
jobs, and was in constant requisltion.
He was one day employed by Yam
kee carpenter to hew log for him,
and having completed the job, went
to the "boss' for his pay, expecting
to charge about seventy-five cents.
Meantime the carpenter had made a
rough coffin for poor fellow who had
died in the wilderness, and at the
time OF Sans call friend of the de-
ceased was paying for the coffin, the
amount being sixty dollars. Turning
to Sam, the carpenter, in his quick,
snappy way, asked:
SCOT that log done?
sY-y-yes, BIB boss, all d-d-done.'
sWell, how much is it?'
'F.f-four d-d-dollars an half
Gracious. Why, you'd skin man
alivev
Yves boss; but OATS not as b-bad
as to skin him after he's ddead.'

A NECKLACE that was last seen on
the neck of charming lady was the
object of universal admiration. Some
time ago a gentleman took the same
necklace TO the late Mr.. Moiana, ask.
ing him to buy it, and to substitute
false diamonds in their places. Mr..
Moiana, who had known the wife
from childhood, and who was friend
Of the family, asked "a hours to re-
fleet before concluding the bargain.
In that time he went and told the
story to the lady's grandmother, who
gave Moiana $4,000 to give the hus-
band, telling him TO give back the
real necklace, but not to mention the
truth. This was done. Some months
later it was the wife who took the
necklace to Moiana, asking him to buy
il and to substitute false diamonds in
the place of real ones. s'My husband
viii never know the difference" she
said. Again visit to the grand
mother, who again gave $4,000 to
keep the diamonds in the family, and
as both husband and wife still think
the diamonds are false there is no
fear of the necklace being resold.-

CHICAGO has one sad wreck of the
Murphy movement. A lady who
thought herself personally called to
battle with the demon of strong
drink was OF seconded by her hus-
band, so she left him and her three
children and came to Chicago. She
became interested in one young man
and succeeded in reforming him to
the extent that she thought it desir-
able to get divorce. Her husband
was worth about 5000, 900, and she
thought she could get enough to set
up housekeeping again. But she
was not in position to sue for di-
vorce, for her husband was the de-
deserted one. She got only 5000
out of the $1,000 and neither of
the three children. 1t is rather q
perverted woman's rights:

AUSTRIA is about engaging in the
business of exporting meat in Eng
land. One contract, covering 3d.
900 dead sheep and 1000 dead oxen,
has already been made. But there
is room enough for fair business
for both countries. Four thousand
boxes of American butter, in refrig-
orators, reached London in the early
part of June. This shipment was an
experiment by some enterprising
American, and fits success will be
likely to open up new era in the
English market. Other American
productions, it is thought, might also
be profitablv shipped to the mother
country.

China, who was native of Salem,
Mass, bequeathed his fortune OF s10,-

he was Chinese subject, the money

came, although his father spent eleven
months in China in vain effort to
bring the officials to terms.
