Alexandra Dumas on Geneva.

" 1t is, after Naples, one of the most
charming cities of the world. Idly lying,
as she does, supporting her head on the
base of Mount Saleve, extending to the
lake her feet that each wave comes to kiss,
she seems to have nothing to do but to
lovingly regard her thousand villas,
spread upon the sides of the snowy noun
tains which extend to her right, or
browning the verdant hills which stretch
to her left. At sign from her hand she
beholds running on the vaporous level of
the lake her light barks with triangular
sails that glisten on the surface of the
water, white and and swift-like goelands,
and her heavy steamboats,. Under a
beautiful heaven, in the presence of such
fine waters, it would seem that her arms
are useless to her, and that she needs but
to breath to live. And yet this nonchal-
ant odalisque, this apparently idle sui
tana, is the commercial Geneva who
counts 200 millionaires among her so, 600
inhabitants"

A Chinese Inn.

An American lady, the wife of mis-
sionary, thus describes Chinese inn:
" An earth floor, not even smooth
Walls festooned with cobwebs of great
age and the dust of many months. A
very dirty square table, high backed
chair, and two very narrow benches. A
raised platform, built of bricks and NOR
tar, with cavities for fires to be started in
cold weather. Fires, when needed, are
kept up day and night, and sitting
room by day-bed clothing furnished
by dodgers. Attendance, hot water
brought in by the landlord, for tea and
toilet purposes. Charge for six, 700 cop
per cash, equivalent to 20 cents. The
lady says: If we had not been enter
tanned in the style of the first class hotels
in the United States, neither did we have
the bill in the same STYLE"

A Pen Picture.

A few months, or even weeks since,
her pallld cOuntenance was the very type of
ruddy health-the delight of the school and
the pride of the household. She was always
welcome wherever duty or pleasure led her.
Duigent, punctual and exemplary in the
classroom, obedient and loving at home
she won the hearts of all. But alas! those
glowing cheeks and lips are now blanched
by consumption. The voice once SO en-
chanting In laugh and song is feeble, husky
and broken by hollow cough. Let us APP
proach her couch and gently take her blood
less hand in our own. Do not shudder because
of its feeble, passionless grasp. The hand
outlines, while the cords and tortuous veins
are plainly mapped upon its surface. The
pulse that bounded with repletion, impart-
ing beauty, vivacity, health and strength to
the system, is delicate to the touch. The
enervated heart feebly propels the thin,
scanty blood. Must we lose her while yet
so young and so fair? No. There is relief
But something more is required than the
observance of hygienic rules, for enfeebled
nature calls for aid and she must have it.
Administer this pleasant medicine. 1t is in
yigorating. 1t allays the irritable cough,
improves the appetite and digestion, and
sends a healthy tingle through her whole
being. The blood is enriched, nervous pow
er increased, and the heart bounds with a
new impulse. Her face brightens-the
blood is returning, her voice is clearer, and
her requests are no longer delivered in that
peevish, fretful tone so deadening to sympa-
thy. Her step is still faltering, but strength
is rapidly returning. Let us take her out in
the warm, life-giving sunshine. In few
weeks she will go without our aid and be
able to join her companions in their pleas
ant pastimes and feel her whole being
warmed and expanded into perfect life"
The change is so great that we think she is
sweeter and nobler than before. And the
medicine which has wrought this transform
alton, we look upon as a blessing to hu-
manity, for there are other loved ones to be
| rescued from the grasp of the insidious de-
stroyer. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has raised her. 1t will raise others.

A BUNCH OF vIoLErs.

&c Don't tease me, lad,'' she said;
" Wait till old winter goes,
How can lassie think of love
When cold the north wind blows,
And the grass hides meath the SHOWS?
"What time the violets
In clusters blue see,
A bunch l'll gather dewy sweet
For somebody, and he
My own sweetheart shall be-"
Green grew the earth below,
And bright the sky above,
And the birds sang clear loud songs of Joy,
And soft sweet songs of love,
From every wood and grove.
The pink-white apple-buds
Hung on the orchard tree,
And the violets she gathered were
The fairest that could be,
For-she gave them all to mel

THE PoMEGRANATE..
BY R. H. sToDDARD.

Hassan, the son of All,
Was sick of a fell disease,
And he longed for a pomegranate
When there were none on the trees,
Though they hunted near and far,
And none in the fruit bazaar.
At length his father, Ali,
As he wandered the city through,
Saw the long-desired pomegranate,
And purchased it of jew;
And, blessing Allah's name,
Was Fastening home with the came.
But now a trembling sick man
Crept up to him by stealth.
"Give me half of the pomegranate,
1t will restore my health"
Twas given. He holder grew.
Give me the other" He got that too.
Home to his son went Ali,
Whose footsteps were not light;
Told him OF the lost pomegranate.
He said the gift was right.
Greater than mine his need,
And only just was the deed"
While they were talking OF it
1 There came q tap at the door;
The servant-woman answered,
And never on earth before
Saw she man so fair
As the man that met her re.
He handed her in silence
curious plate OF gold,
Wherein were ten peinegranates,
Which she did not behold,
Beneath mantle green,
That kept their bloom unseen.
He vanishes. She counts them.
This one,' she says, sis mine;;"
And bears in the p0me5ranateS-
The ten that now are nine,
(But of this she nothing speaks,)
Ali kisses their red cheeks
He knows the woman's secret,
For he hath eyes to see;
But he gives her the pomegranate,
And straIghtway sets her free.
Who bring such gifts, he thought,
Hath her own ransom bought.
Then Ali unto Hassan
The woman's tale did tell;
And he gave him the pomegranates,
Whose odors made him well.
Such healing virtue lies
In the fruits OF Paradisel

narrow escape in Willamstown. Starting down

by his GOODNESS, courage and superior horseman-

tom was reached No serious injuries were sus-
tanned, though Mr.. Avery and Henry b. Howard,
with baby Marcellus " in his arms, were thrown
out. 1t was at first thought the child was killed
outright but fortunately it proved only slight
wound on the crown of its head. There sew
eral places on the horses legs where the skin was
knocked off. Mr. Nichols family extended the
courtesy of wagon to enable the party to pro-
coed, and threw open their doors to them, thus
showing kindly and Christian spirit

oBTuARY.-C b. Holden, Esq, died in
Middlesex, July 10Th, aged forty years. He was
highly esteemed as a Christian neighbor husband,
father, brother and friend and also honored from
his youth with the most responsible offices in his
native town. When twenty-one years of age he
chosen collector and constable, which office
he held fourteen years. and he was elected to
take the office of town clerk and treasurer, which
trust had been held by his brother William and
his father, Horace Holden, since 1922 thus
keeping this office in the same family more than
ffty-six years. He proved himself faithful to the
last. He was not only honored by his townsmen,
but he honored them; and when he knew he must
soon leave his family and friends, he gave them
good advice and departed in peace, in the glorious
hope of immortal bessedness through Christ the
Holy Redeemer. A large assembly OF neghbors
and citizens generally attended his burial on the
10Th inst, from the same house where they at
tended the funeral Of his father thirteen years
ago, and his brother William last spring.

the battle Of Plattsburgh, September 18th, 1874
rs were the companies from Montpelier barre
and other towns in this vicinity. The claims Of
these men were at first rejected by the Commits

but through the efforts Of their attorney I, J.,
Deayitt of Montpelier, this matter was brought,
by way Of an appeal, before Hon, Carl Schurz,
Secretary of the Interior, and the rulings of the
Commissioner were so modified as to bring the
I'attsburgh Volunteers within the benefits Of the
act of March 9th, 1878. George W, Benton Of
