The Japanese Lotus.

In summer the lotus flowers grew and
bloomed, slowly rising from the long
roots in the ooze, unfolding their first
shields of green, two feet in diameter,
corded beneath like the veins of gladia-
tor, and holding on their bosses transu
cent pebbles of dew. Then rose the
closed balls like clasped hand that
tremb!ed with the trembling water, Civ
ing no sign of the beauty within the
mighty flower in its bosom. Then, as
the sunshine of summer fell aslant the
cool water, the ball, tenderly and shyly,
rs if afraid, umiolded day by day until
the splendid revelation of the lotus was
complete. Massive shield and glorious
flower made IA picture of uncarthly lowell
ness to the child who strove to pluck the
remote beauty, or to the adult to whom
the lotus flower is the emblem of eternal
calm. The little japanese child who first
with the clarifying eyes of childhood
looks upon its purity, finds in it an OBJ
,jcct of unspeakab!c delight. The mature
believer in Buddha sees in it Swallowed
forth creative power, universe, and world
growth. "Thc lotus springs from the
mud" is ever the answer of the Asiatic to
him who teaches that the human heart is
corrupt and unable to cleanse itself. The
calyx of the lotus is triangle whose
base is circle, symbols of spirit and
form, of eternity and trinity. In Mir
vana Buddha sits on "a lotus-tlower As
the mortal body of the believer APP
proaches the cremation house, that the
borrowed elements Of his body may be
liberated from their tleshly prison and
returned to their primordial earth and
air, IA stone carved to represent lotus
flower receives the bier. To the Budd-
ist the lotus is a thing of beauty, a JOY
forever, because the constant symbol of
poetic and religious truth GriGs.

Fashion to the Last.

We apprehend there is little reliance in
this story, although it is Frenchy enough
to be so:
A French lady, distinguished in so.
ciety as having had more admirers than
any other woman, died the other day,
leaving her husband freedom he had
long sighed for and an ancient hall. The
beautiful lady was enrhumee (French for
cold) from going to IA ball. But then she
must also'9o to another ball two nights
afterwards, instead of staying in her bed.
In vain the doctor told her it would he
her death. The lady coughed badly, but
replied;
But, my friend, do you not under
stand that woman of fashion can afford
to die, but cannot afford to miss Count
Iopperini's ball, where all the most
grand world will be! Will | die! Eli
bien, you shalt SEE. give directions for
more grand funeral than Paris has yet
seen. | send for Worth tote en- suite;
make myself fitted for linceul (Frcnch
for winding sheet, in which tlatter my
self my adorers shall find me charming.
VOLTA
At the ball she was rather more bcauti-
full and bcwtching than usual, and rare
ly, if ever, had a saloon witnessed tri
umph of such eclat; but the next day the
beauty couldn't move and had to send for
priest, while her husband was made sad
by CHANGING over the itemzed prospectus
for the funeral. Placing her fair hand in
that of her husband, the lady said in
faint accents:
"Non ami, if you love me, swear that
you will do something which shall ask
of YOU
II swear
Then see that all shall be as | have
directed, especially the black plumes on
the horses heads And her mind being
easy on the point, she family asked the
priest to read something from the Bible
and when he requested to know what
particular chapter she liked best, she re-
piled:
ALAS. know the good book so lit
tie; but attended,, my father, is there not
in the sacred Volume that sweet little
story of the young Josey and Nine. Poti-
phar9 Read me that, pray you
And with the Renaissance of the good
book the famous belle was rocked into
eternal sleep.

\ PAIR OF HUMAN PETRIFACrIoNs.-
y correspondent writing from Danbury,
Conn, says that on Dec. so, 1851, Mr..
Abraham O. Banks, residing in that town,
died at the age of 20 years, and was bur
led in the Baptist Cemetery. On June 5,
1857, his wife died, aged - years, and
was buried beside her husband Seven
years later the relatives had occasion to
remove the bodies for intermcnt in anoth-
er cemetery. On digging into the graves
mach difficulty was experienced in NOV
ing the collins. Finally, with the aid of
six additional men, the caskets ere taken
out, and on being opened it was found
that both bodies were petrihcd, with the
exception of the heads, which had crum-
bled away. The body of the woman,
which weighed nearly 200 pounds at the
time of her death, was SO large that por-
tionS of it projected over the edge Of the
coffin, and had to be compressed when
the Ind was screwed down. When ca
humed this body was as hard as granite,
but that of the man was not SO com
pic!cly pet:itied, one of his arms crumb-
ling away on being touched Both were
OF a bright yellowsh color, but grew dark
when exposed to the air The above facts
are corroboratcd by leading physician
of Danbury, who is a grandson of Mr..
Banks. The bodies are now inferred in
the Wooster Cemetery.

A Soft Answer Turneth Away Wrath.

We take the following from bio
graphical sketch in the Providence Jour-
nal:
Mr.. VIM. T. Robinson used to relate an
amusing anecdote of one of the early Rob
insons, who it appears, had joined the
Quaker Meeting. Gov. Brenton had
placed him on the farm belonging to him
situated on the south end of the Island
adjacent to Bcnton's Point, and stocked
the same largely with sheep. In Il violent
snow-storm such as used to prevail more
frequently than Of late in New England
Though have known several in my day
nearly equally destructive), these sheep
having been left in an exposed position,
were driven by the inclcment tempest of
wind and slcet off the rocks into the sea,
where they persisted. When Robinson
communicated the less of the sheep to
Brenton, the governor, being Il man OF
hasty temper, flew into towering
rage with his tenant, and reproached him
in unmeasurcd terms for the loss of the
sheep through, us he charged, gross neg
lect To all the abuse heaped upon him,
Robinson answered not "a word, which
submissivcness seemed only to increase
Brenton's ire, who, at last, in his frenzy,
declared that Robinson should pay him
for his lost sheep, and bid him choose IA
man to arbtratc their value, while he
chose another, which Brcntsn did, on his
part, instanter. 1t was now Robinson's
turn to choose his man. "Friend Bren-
ton,' said he, II know of no one whom
should prefer to trust my interest with
than thou | think | will choose thee
for my man." This was too much for
the governor, who, after bursting into an
uproarous fit of laughter, told his I'M
manageable tenant to go back to the farm
and he would venture to trust one more
flock of his sheep in his care.

Two PRINCES ONE on HIS LEGs.-
The Prince of Wales made speech,
highly complimentary to Stanley, at the
meeting. The Prince would not take a
gold medal prize as speaker. He be-
gins very much as if it We're disagree
able task, and rushcs through it in sing
song, hardshell Baptist style. He don't
stammer like many Englishmen, for
which let lis be truly grateful; but he
gives small impression of refinement or
culture in his public addresses. He is in
conversation, however, quite delightful.
The fact is that the English do not un-
derstaud how to "unbend" enough to
make easy and graceful public speeches.
The exceptions prove the rule. Young

If he amounts to much in this world it
will be wonder. He i, believe, a
