A Beehive i'm a Church.

The Manchester Mirror says : "The
Congregational society at Boseawen
Plain, N. HI. recently held festival that
was broughtabout in most singular way.
A few weeks since George Knowles dis.
covered swarm of bees inside the finish
under the caves of the church. The
construction of the building at that
point was such that the bees were en-
abled to form box hive about four feet
long and eight or ten inches square, and
which was nearly filed with honeycomb.
Sixty-nine pounds of honey were found,
and the society decided to make it q
source of profit through festival, which
for moderate admittance fee, gave all
who attended nice supper and plenty
of honey"

A WOman's Wish.

Would were lying in field of clover,
OF clover cool and soft, and soft and sweet,
With dusky clouds in deep skies hanging over,
And scented silence at my head and feet
Just for one hour to slip the leash Of Worry
In eager haste, from Thoughts impatient
neck,
And watch it coursing-in its needless hurry
Disdaining Wisdoms whi-tles-Duty's beck
Ahl it we're sweet, where clover clumps als
meeting
And daisies hiding, so to hide and rest
No sound except my own heart sturdy beating
Rocking itself to sleep within my breast
Just to lie there filed with the deeper
breathing
That comes of listening to a free birds song
Our souls require at times this full unsheath-
ing
All swords will rust if scabbard-kept too
long.
And am tired ! so tired Of rigid duty!
So tired Of all my tired hands find to do!
I yearn, 1 faint, for some of lifes free beauty,
Its loose beads with no straight string run
ming through
Aye, laugh, if laugh you will, at my crude
speech
But women sometimes die of such greed;
Die for the small joys held beyond their reach,
And the assurance they have all they need

Japanese Beggars.

A paragraph asserting that there are
few or no beggars in Japan has attracted
the attention of reader of the Washing
ton Star, who has travelled in that
country, and who writes: "Any one
who has ever ridden from Brussels to
the field of Waterloo knows how many
beggars line that ride of nine miles
From Yokohama to Toxic (Yeddo), by
the Tokioado, or old national road. il
sixteen miles. l have ridden over that
splendid and often thronged highway
not less than one hundred times. and
never saw the time when there were not
more beggars in proportion to the dis
tanoe and comparative population than
between Brussels and Waterloo"

The Song Sparrow,

Bird of the door-side, warbling clear
In the sprouting or fading year,
Well art thou named from thy own sweet lay
Piped from palng or naked spray,
As the smile OF the sun breaks through
Chill gray clouds that curtain the blue.
Even when February bleak,
Smites with his frost the travellers cheek,
While the air has no touch of spring,
Bird of promise, we hear thee sing,
Long ere the first rathe blossom wakes,
Long ere the earliest leaf-bud breaks.
April passes and May steals by;
June leads in the sultry July;
Sweet are the wood notes, loud and sweet,
Heard from the robins and hang-bird's seat,
Then, as the green months glide away,
Singest with them as gayly as they.
August comes, and the melon and maize
Bask and swell in his frey blaze;
Swallows gather, and southwark bound
Wheel like a whirlblast round and round;
Thrush and robin their songs forget
Thou art cheerfully warbling yet.
Later still, when the sumach spray
When in the orchard, one by one,
Apples drop in the ripening sun,
They who pile them beneath the trees
Hear thy lay in the autumn breeze.
Comes November, sullen and grim,
Spangling with frost the rivulets brim,
Harsh, hoarse winds from the woodlands tear
Each brown leaf that is clnging there;
Still art thou singing amid the blast,
"Soon is the dreariest season past"
Only when Christmas snow-storms make
Smooth white levels of river and lake,
Sitting the light SHOWS all day long,
Only then do we miss thy song,
Sure to hear it again, when soon
Climbs the sun to higher noon.
Late when the sorrowing south wind brought
Tidiugs of battle fercely fought,
Tidings of hosts in war array,
Marking with graves their bloody way,
Still vert thou singing near my door,
"Soon is the stormiest season oer.'
Ever thus sing cheerfully on,
Bird of Hope as in ages gone.
Sing of spring-time and summer shades,
Autumn's pomp when the summer fades,
Storms that flee in the conquering sun,
Peace by enduring valor won.
William, Cullen Bryant in "Great Songs of
Great Poets"

Fashion Notes.

Chenille embroidery is III high favor.
Seaweed is the garniture for tulle
dresses.
There is new diagonal, soft, heavy
serge.
Bonnets are smaller and hats larger
than ever.
Orange color is the fancy of the mo-
ment iii Paris.
Epaulettes of flowers ore the novelty
of the moment.
Metallic ribbons are to be used for
trimmings of ball dresses,
Broderic antique with corded ground
is popular trimming.
Satin and velvet are favorite combina-
tions in trimming materials.
Silk, satin, velvet, and lace pockets are
still worn for evening dresses.
Colored sets used for trimmings are
cut both in facets and fat-dresses.
Necklaces of lace with dropping pen
dants are pretty on well-shaped necks.
Young ladies have their dancing dresses
made with very short pointed trains.
Arabesque patterns in braiding and
embroidery are the favorites of the hour
Some of the new bonnets and hats
have double brims. Others have split
brims.
Buttercups and Marshal Neil roses are
in demand for evening dress trimmings.
Long lace mittens, black, white, and
colored, are to be worn for full evening
dress.
Yellow, orange, and brown tints are
used to a great extent in ball dresses this
season.
Among new ornaments in silver and
gold filagree are large gad flies with
jewels for eyes.
Long Louis Quatorze waistcoats,
simulated in brocade, satin, or damassee
appear on evening dresses.
One of the coming fashions is ribbons
seemingly woven of metal-yellow and
red, gold, silver, steel and bronze.
In coiffures the hair is worn less high
upon the head, but there is just as much
chevalure needed as ever.
Plastrons and puffed fronts, extending
from the throat to the bottom of the
skirt, are very much worn for evening
toilet.
Evening dresses are given an antique
appearance by short, high-puffed sleeves,
or Medici frills, in the armholes and
around the neck.
Crimped crepe lisse frills are formed
into cuffs to be worn outside the sleeve
instead of inside; deep collars of the
same go with the cuffs.
It is said that elderly ladies are going
to wear evening robes of white silk and
satin, made up very plain but profusely
trimmed with lace.
Among the new goods is found duvet,
or down cloth, material made of the
feathers of fowls, extremely light, warm,
plant, and impelvious to rain or snow.
A new version of Fourreau is "the
Cardinal robe" an elegant dinner dress
made of scarlet faille, and trimmed with
scarlet velvet fringes and passemen-
teries.
An elegant novelty is feather ribbon.
The centre is O wreath of flowers on O
light ground. On either side border
of soft unravelled silk forms feather
like fringe.
One of the prettiest of the new trim
mings brought out this season is the
marabout ribbon, made of woven swan S
down it comes in all colors and shades,
and in pure white.
Among new things are stuffs for even
ing wear-silk or satin, in electric colors
pale blue, rose, or greenwich seem
to emit sparks of light; these effects
being obtained by new process OF
dyeing,

What Two Words were Good For.

Dean Stanley never loses chance to
make point on an anniversary. When
called upon to preside at any meeting,
he always asks himself if the day is the
anniversary of any great event, or the
birthday of any famous person, in order
to deduce some fitting lesson. On the
last Saturday of the year he appeared at
the industrial exhibition in London, and
at once reminded the working classes
that that day was the anniversary of an
event which happened 700 years ago,
and which caused great disturbance to
the country. 1t was the anniversary of
the murder of Thomas-a-B Beckett, in con-
nection with whose life there was cir
cumstance which we'll illustrated the
principle on which he was about to en-
large. People sometimes imagined that
the small things they saw before them
were not worthy of pursuit; whereas, in
reality, small things often deserved con-
sideration. A story was told which re-
ferred to the father and mother of
Thomas-aBecket. His father, who was
Londoner, went to the crusades, and
having been taken prisoner, married an
Eastern lady. He was afterwards ran
somed and returned to England, but he
was unable to carry away his wife with
him, and she remained in Syria. She,
however, determined to travel to Eng
land-a difficult task, as she knew only
two words of English, colbert (he
name of her husband), and "London."
She got through Europe by mentioning
at every town she came to the word
"London," at which place she eventu-
ally arrived. When there she made use
of her other word, colbert" and, hav-
ing found her way from street to street,
she at last discovered the house of her
husband near London bridge. This was
All example of the effect that could be
produced by making the very greatest
use of whatever little knowledge she
possessed.-NeaD York Tribune.
