Flowers.

A gentle heart is like ripe fruit which
bends so low that it is at the mercy of
every one who chooses to pluck it, while
the harder fruit keeps out of reach.
The gratis that circumstances make in
our characters we are apt to regard as
its native fruits.
The shroud is to man like the cover
ing used by gardeners to protect their
plants from sun and rain-it shuts him
out from the storms of adversely and the
fierce glow of passion.
The sweet accords of melancholy
music seem formed of departed hopes,
and melt into each other, and into moth
ing, like the days of the life of man.
One of the many penalties we pay for
longevity is the loss of those who have
been dear to us in our pilgrimage.
The more haste a man makes to un-
ravel skein. of thread the more he en-
tangles it.-Frona the German OF lean
Paul.

Russia and Turkey.

At the very outbreak of the war the
London Times warned the public
against expecting one-sided campaign.
remarking that Russia and Turkey were
more evenly divided in power than was
generally supposed. The events thus
far have justified that statement. II is
Greek Vey'sus Moslem fanaticism, and
when fanatic meets fanatic then comes
the tug of war.
Another journal, discussing the sub
ject early in the campaign. was very
confident OF Russian victory, because
they have "all the appliances of modern
civilization, and the Turks none of
them, being enemies of civilization
and incapable of making progress.
This was the general opinion. But it
was mistake, so far as concerns mill
tary matters. The industrial appliances
OF modern civilization the Turks do in
deed reject, and in every way cling to the
antique, war alone excepted, When il
comes to fighting, they want the latest
improvements Ill weapons and tactics.
They are content to accept the leader
ship of foreign adventures, if there is
anything to be gained thereby. The
Gar would scorn to put his soldiers I'M
der the control of foreigners. He will
not even throw military promotions open
to the free competition of his own sub
jects, but reserves the best places for
sprigs of royalty. 1t is conceded that
the Turks are better armed and differed
than their opponents, so that, for the
purposes of this war, they are thoroughly
modern, while Russia is as much behind
the times on the field of battle as she is
i'll the general affairs of everyday life,
and that is saying a good deal. The
Cossack is, in very many instances, only
one remove from barbarism, and has
barely begun to CLEAN in the harvest
fields of modern improvements. A few
generations ago he was a fierce nomad,
or, worse still, serf, released from the
chains of slavery only few years ago.
Wonderful, surely, has been the prog
ress of Russia within the last two or
three decades, but so very far i'll the rear
are the Russians that they could not
afford to rely upon themselves in con-
flict with people who are keen enough
to adopt the most modern arms and
modes of warfare to be procured by
money.-ChicdgO Journal.

Made His Last Ascension.

There was big show at small circus
in Glade Spring, Va, short time ago.
A large iron furnace had been set to
work and balloon hoisted over it by
means of two poles. When the balloon
had been filled with the usual quantity
of gas, Hainur, an aeronaut, said, Il
want more this time" Two pints of oil
were put in, and, when the damper to
the furnace was shut down, Hainur
seized the ropes and the balloon shot
upward to the height of 300feet. While
he was performing on a horizontal bar,
hanging by his feet and waving his
handkerchief to the crowd, the patched
canvas was rent from top to bottom with
a report that was heard for miles.
Hainur Strengthened himself, lodged a
telegraph wire and post, and struck the
ground with terrible force, the canvas
falling upon him and covering him. He
was alive and conscious, but so dread
fully bruised and mangled that he died
within few hours.

Morgan Horses.

Vermont has long been celebrated for
the breed of Morgan horses. The rails
ing of the stock has made the fortunes
of hundreds of individuals there, and
probably added hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the wealth of the State.
With no wish to detract from the good
name and fame of Vermont, it may be
useful to remember that this famous
breed of horses, as well as their name,
originated elsewhere. On the banks of
the Connecticut, in West Springfield,
Mass, for the first forty-one years of his
life lived the Justin Morgan who gave
name to this breed of horses, and in that
vicinity in 1893 the Morgan horse of his
tory originated. -Sprinafeld Mass

1t Doesn't Pay.

Many people contend that truth will
prevail, and that truthful people will
reap a rich reward, but it isn't so. Yes
terday afternoon servant girl in search
of situation called at house on Mama
avenue, and, after some general talk
with the lady, said:
Ct think I'd like to come, ma'arn, and
I'll tell you in advance that / have five
beaux, 1 must have a night-key, L
shall want two afternoons and all the
evenings, shall go to church twice on
Sunday. 1 hate children, and if take
a notion to leave 1 shan't give you an
hours warning"
1t was the plain truth she spoke, and
yet the lady escorted her to the door in
about minute. -DetrOH Free Perss.

ONE of the Middlesex magistrates in
England has just declined the offer of
"a, 800 for his collection of foreign post
age stamps, but, on the other hand, an
extensive collection of 1900 varieties
was sold in London recently for 81, 900,
which is believed to be the highest price
that such collection has ever fetched
in England. In France, however, the
mania has reached higher pitch, for
there an exceptionally complete collect
ion was sold privately for $15, 900.

A Man-HOrse.

L. Bertaccini, the man-horse, is to APP
pear at Brussels, on the PLANE des
Maneuvers, where he challenges any
pedestrian to run him 12I miles, or any
mounted man to a race of six times that
distance. He claims to have run from
Valence to Lyons and back, about 1875
miles, in eleven hours, and at Paris.
Dec. %, 1876, at the Skating Palace, to
have made sixteen miles in an hour and
twenty-five minutes. AT Marseilles he
beat horse in race forty times the
circuit of the Hippodrome, and at Rome
was successful in q similar match.

as he pulled it over his head it went
down his throat, for he had one end of it
in his mouth. But how did no get it
started and into his mouth? That is a
mystery to me, and 1 cannot explain it
to you; but Toady seemed to understand
what he was about, and appeared well
satisfied with the result OF his efforts;
and no doubt he will repeat this singu-
lar performance whenever he wants an
other new suit of clothes. -Clara Clay

HoN. s. S. BUBDETT, former Commits
sioner of the General Land Office. who
returned home after an absence of two
years, is undoubtedly insane, and had
been wandering aimlessly about the
Western frontier, Since his return he
has manifested no interest in his family,
and when others have talked to him he
listened in cold, Indifferent and unin-
terested manner. Unless he speedily
gioes evidence of improvement, it is the
intention of his family to have him
placed in an asylum"

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Mother.

Mother.
Early one summer morning,
/ saw two children pass;
Their footsteps slow, yet lightsome,
Scarce bent the tender grass.
One, lately out of babyhood,
Looked up with eager eyes;
The other watched her wistfully,
Oppressed with smothered signs.
"See, mother I" cried the little one,
- gathered them for you?
The sweetest flowers and lilies,
And Mabel has some, too"
"Hush, Nelly 7" whispered Mabel,
"we have not reached 1t yet.
Wait till we get there, darling,
1t isn't far, my pet"
"Get where ?" asked Nelly. Tell me-"
ITO the churchyard," Mabel said.
"No no !" cried little Nelly,
And shook her sunny head.
Still Mabel whispered sadly,
ave must take them to the grave.
Come, darling I" and the childish voice
Tried to be clear and brave.
But Nelly still kept calling
Far up into the blue;
See, mother, see, how pretty!
We gathered them for you"
And when her sister pleaded,
She cried-and would not go:-
CANCELS don't live in church-yards,
Nh mother don't, known
Then Mabel bent and kissed her.
40 So be it, dear" she said;
{" Wen take them TO the arbor
And lay them there instead.
For mother loved il dearly;
II was the sweetest place
And the JOY that came to Nelly
Shone up in Mabel's face.
I saw them turn, and follow
path with blossoms bright,
Until the nodding branches
Concealed them from my sight;
But still like sweetest music
The words came ringing through;
+" See, mother, see, how pretty
We gathered them for you
