Indications.
There are not wanting indicat

There are not wanting indications of
real revival of prosperity.
First. The revival of foreign inami-
grafton. For the first time in five or six
years the hide of foreign immigration
has set in toward this port. This is an
unmistakable sign of prosperity.
Second. The under-current of the
stock exchange is buoyant. No bear
movement has been successful since. the
passage of the Silver bill. Every down.
ward movement has been almost instant
ly followed by an upward movement.
THIRD. Railroad building has been
resumed, more especially in the far West.
This, of course, mas already reacted on
the iron industries of Pennsylvania. and
the increased activity there will, in time.
produce an increased activity in the New
England rails.
Fourth The prosperity of the far
West is phenomenal. Nothing similar
has been known heretofore. The har-
vests promise great abundance, and the
tide of settlement is flowing in rapidly.
New lands are being brought under Gull
tivation !; feeders to the great trunk lines
of railroad are being constructed. and
the demand for manufactured products
is sure 30 be large.
Fifth. Our foreign commerce is
increasing. This is another
excellent criterion of returning pros
perlty. -NeqO York Graphic.

HOW COME THE FLOWERS
BY EARL MARBLE.

How come the early flowers of sprino9
As robes herself nv Phyllis sweet.
Just in her teens, while fresh years cling
Unto her as her gown discreet
Clings to her dainty ankles, fain
To lengthen as the years go on,
And usher IN sweet woman'S dawn.
mirror-look-ah, me so vain
Then shspely limbs are stockinged neat,
And slippers laced DER dainty feet,
And breasts like slight-raised works on frieEe
Are coyly hid meath white chemise;
Then, like the ghostly mists of spring,
She hits about on feet of mir,
And, blue-bird-like, essays to sing
Songs aforementioned IN the press
OF her own sweet self-consciousness:
Then. with her wealth of gold-brown hair
she toys awhile, and coils or braids
Or curls are fixed as dainty aids
Toward that perfection she, dear girl,
Must be to be-herself, the pearl
Then knot of ribbon, bright and fair,
Makes brighter still her wealth of hair;
Then suddenly 'wildering fash
OF silk appears and then sash
OF daring color round her waist,
Where lovers arm has ne'er been placed
All stately now, 10 blossom full,
In color rich and bountiful.
So come the flowers of spring. So slow
Comes blossom-eve, you scarcely know
lis BALI so near. Lyke Phyllis, prim,
Sweet nature first must get in trim
And when blossom first in air
She daunts like ribbon for her hair
Before you know it, all around,
Her dress with richness will abound,
And green's and scarlets, pinks and blues,
Shine in their freshest. brightest hues.

A Remarkable Crime.

The secret of remarkable murder
was recently disclosed in medical lect-
ure delivered in London by the eminent
DR.. Bucknill In discussing the legal
relations of insanity he remarked that
the most singular case in which he had
ever been concerned was that OF Con-
stance Kent, who murdered her young
brother and escaped detection. After
an interval Of several years truly con-
scientious motive led her to confess, and
Dri BuckniLl examined her for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining whether it would
be right to enter the plea of "not guilty
on the ground of insanity" He was
compelled to advise against it, and her
counsel admitted that the experts could
not do otherwise. By her own wish he
published letter in which the material
facts of the crime we're described, but
as the motive was not disclosed the case
was still enveloped in mystery; for how
could young girl, who Was not insane,
have murdered her beautiful boy brother
in cold blood? DR.. Bucknill, after keep
ing the secret for many years, now ex-
plains that real and dreadful motive
did exist. The girls mother, having
become partially demented, was left by
her husband to live in the seclusion of
her own room, while the management of
the household was taken over the heads
of grown-up daughters by high-spirit-
cd governess, who, after the decease of
the first Mrs Kent, and decent interval,
became Constance Ken 8 step-mother.
In this position she was unwise enough
to make disparaging remarks about her
predecessor, little dreaming, poor lady,
the fund of rage and revengeful feeling
she was stirring up in the heart of her
young step-daughter. To escape from
her hated presence, Constance once ran
away from home, but was brought back;
and after this she only thought of the
most efficient manner of wreaking her
She thought of poisoning
her step-mother, but that, on reflection,
she felt would be no real punishment,
and then it was that she determined to
murder the poor lady's boy, her only
child. A dreadful story this; but who
can fail to pity the depths of household
misery which it denotes

Cats in Spain.

Cats have nice time in Spain, hear.
No dismal moonlight providing over
fences and back sheds for them They
have the roofs of the whole country for
their walks, and need never touch the
ground unless they choose. I'll tell you
why. Grain is stored in the attics of Spain
because they are too hot for ANYTHING
else. Butrats and mice delight in attics,
as well as grain. So each owner cuts q
small door from the roof, big enough
for puss, and any homeless cat is well
come to her warm home, in return for
which she keeps away rats. In sud-
den rain it must be funny to see dozens
OF cats seampering over the roofs to their
homes among the grain-bags. st.

THE PEoNY.
BY MARIAN DOUGLAS.


still shines that Sabbath morn for me,
It's breeze still whispers low;
Twas yesterday; II caunot be
Twas thirty years ago,
A little girl in PREDETERMINED hat,
In the old Westinghouse I sat;
The south wind through the doorway blew,
And the old deacon, in the pew
In front, looked back and gave to me,
Full blown, a crimson peony.
What sudden sense of wealth was mine!
To my delighted eyes,
1t seemed blossom such as might
Have grown in Paradise;
So wide its silken petals spread,
So rich it's robe of royal red,
P1nks, roses, lilies, violets, all
My garden blossoms, great and small,
Seemed poor, pale, common things to me,
BY that respondent peony!
In what serene content spent
That ofttimes weary hour,
My little head in rapture bent
Above that matchless flower!
The prayer and hymn were both unheard:
L lost the sermon, every word;
But, oh, what charms, unseen before,
For me, that gray old deacon wore!
The best of men, I thought, must be
The giver of that peony.
Time flies with swallows wings away;
count the years, and know
That Sabbath was not yesterday,
But thirty years ago;
The very Westinghouse is gone
We gathered in that summer morn;
The preachers voice is hushed, and wave
The daisies DER the deacon's grave;
But, fresh and fragrant, still for me
Unfading, blooms that peony-
Still bright, as when, above its breast,
That happy day smiled;
Oh, blest, for aye the gift is blest
Bestowed upon a child
It has worth beyond it's own
A charm to all things else unknown!
How perfect is the joy 1t givesl
How long in memory 1t lives
And childhood's spell yet makes for me
A flower of flowers, the peony!
