The Road to Sunderland.

PUBLISHED By REQUEST OF EDNA
What is the road to Sunderland? and where does
the baby go?
The road lies straight through mothers arms when
the sun is sinking low.
He goes by the droWsy land OF Nod" to the music
Of "lullaby,"
When all wee lambs are safe IN the fold. under the
evening sky.
A soft little nightgown, clean and white; face
washed sweet and fair;
A mother brushing the tangles out of the silken,
golden hair
Two little tired aching feet from the shoe and the
stocking free;
Two little palms together clasped at the mothers
patient knee;
Some baby words that are drowsily lisped to the
tender Shepherds ear;
And kiss that only mother place on the brow
of her baby DEAR
little round head which nestes at last close to the
mothers breast
And then the lullaby soft and low, singing the song
of rest;
And closer and closer the blueveined lids are hiding
the baby eyes,
AS the road to Sunderland the dear little tray
eler HES:
For this is the way, through mothers arms, all
little babies go
To the beautiful city of Sunderland when the sun
is sinking low.

A Boys History Composition.

Henry vi. died one day with great
success. He left three children who
did not care to go with him. Their
names were Mary, Elizabeth and Ed
ward. The last was the Ed of the
family. He was a boy. His sisters
were not. Their father also left Will.
His will was stronger than all his chill
dren. By will Earl Hartford was to
boss the State while Edward was
young. He was only ten years young.
Hartford loved the glass so well he be-
came tumbler, and was called the
Duke of Summerset. He wanted the
King to take the Queen (of Scotland),
but the trick was lost because the
Scotch refused to assist. The Duke
was called the Protector because he
protected his own family and put every
body else away in the Tower. The
border men of England and Scotland
were those who boarded on the from
tier and bored each other almost to
death; SO they had fight about Ed
ward marrying their queen. The En-
glish attacked them by water, which
they couldn't stand. History says that
the Scotch loss was ten thousand and
the English two hundred. History
lies, probably. The government told
the people what to believe. If they
did as they were told, they must pay
taxes for their belief. If they didn't
do so, they were roasted. Things were
red hot. Somebody told stories about
the Protector and so he was taken to
the Tower and had his head chopped
off. It was not much of head, but
he hated to part with it. There was
rising of the common people, but they
did not know what for. Most of them
got raised on to trees with ropes around
their necks. Some very fat men were
burned, thus making light of their
complaints. Now I guess it is time for
the little king to die. Hewas only six
teen when he gave up the crown and
the ghost. England is not yet done, so I
cannot finish the history yet.

Something in O Name.

A good story was told at recent
school anniversary in Aaragan, a Swiss
canton that has an educational institute
OF great excellence. A graduate named
Noppel related that he and his brother
Adrian were sent by their father to this
popu1er middle school. At their first
appearance in class the two brothers
sat side by side. One of the teachers
appeared with the register in order to
enter the names of the members OF the
class. "Well," asked he, on coming to
the elder Noppel, "what is your manner"
"Constantinople," replied the youth.
81 want your name, Christian and fam.
lily name" said the teacher very stern
ly. The lad again replied, "Constan-
tinople." Boy" exclaimed the pro-
lessor, "you must not attempt any Joke
here" 81 assure you, Herr Professor,
my name is Konstantin Noppel." "And
yours?" asked he, turning to the young
er Noppel. "Adrianople." "This will
not do" said the professor, "the story
is little too highly colored." The
students fastened to assure the peda-
gogue that the youths Christian name
was undoubtedly adrian" and his sur
name "Noppel." The two lads, who
always passed by the epithst OF the
1.-TWO Turks" had roguishly agreed
not TO be too exact in their information
when giving their names to the regis
trar.

The California Tea Fields.

1t makes oPe's head dizzy to see the
multiplying proofs of what. this great
country Of ours is capable of produc-
ing. Here is what the London Grocer
says Of the Sacramento Valley as tea
field:
"a great deal has been said aud writ
ten lately on the subject of the cult
walton of the tea plant. We have had
glowing accounts OF the wonderful suc-
cess of the Scotch planters in the is
land Of Ceylon, the extent of their gar
dens, and the large yield they will be
capable of throwing into the European
market in the course Of q few years.
But very few persons are aware that
there is at this moment far larger tea
field than the whole island of Ceylon
doubled twice over, where Chinese and
japanese are arriving by thousands to
cultivate the tea plant, and where the
climate is so salubrious, and the soil 30
rich, that in the space OF twenty years
from now it is confidently anticipated
that they will be able to supply the
whole of the New Continent, and that
the Americans will not only not have to
send to China for one ounce of tea, but
that they will be able in the course Of
time to send large consignments to Eu-
rope. And this too is only fifteen days
run from Liverpool We are now
speaking of the Great Sacramento VAL
ley, California.
1.-The valley is $50 miles long by 80
broad; where no rain falls, it is watered
by heavy fogs, which roll in from the
Pacific Ocean. Along the entire
stretch of this valley run the Sierra
Nevada, or, as they are more commonly
termed, the California range of noun
tains. Here you can get any climate
rising from perpetual summer in the
valley, higher and higher, colder and
colder, till you reach perpetual snow on
the top. 1t is along the base of this range
of mountains that the Chinese and jap
anese are now busy cultivating the tea
plant with marked success. Ona visit
there, some nine months ago, the writer
had the pleasure of tasting the pro-
duce, and found it of excellent quality.
"The plant can be gathered, packed,
sent to England, sold in Mincing Lane,
and consumed by the general public,
all within one month; and the opinion
is expressed that within lifetime the
novelty will not be American meat
but all our grocers' windows will be
filed with California tea, sixpense per
pound"

SAGAcITY OF A PAIR OF SWALLOWS
At Rosenberg, in the neighborhood of
Graz, q pair of swallows had built their
nest in the floor of a PEASANTS house.
When the door was closed, the only en-
trance to the room was through the
window near by. One evening at harvest
time all the Inhabitants of the house
went to the meadows situated at the
foot of the mountain, almost two miles
distant from the dwelling. The wife
forgot to leave the window of the cot
tage open, and scarcely was the work
of harvesting under way, when a pair
of swallows few around her with loud
twitterings, hitting her on the head
and shoulders with their wings. At
last it occurred to the woman that
these were certainly her swallows, and
that their entrance TO the nest had been
closed. In spite of the distance and
pressing work, the good woman went
back to see, and if SO, to put the dear
"swsllows to rights" She opened the
window and had the pleasure Of having
her supposition confirmed. - animal

HER MIsrAKE.-In going down Mich
igan avenue on the car yesterday a
woman partly rose up at street corner,
and one of the men across the aisle at
once sprang up and pulled the bell.
The woman pulled her shawl around
her and sat down again, and after the
car had waited quite spell the man re-
marked:
"I rang the bell to let you off,"
"But don't get off here" she re.
piled.
"Well, you rose up as if to ring the
bell, and T pulled it for you," he con-
tinued. "The car has stopped, and the
driver expects some one to get out"
st didn't want the bell rung," she
answered.
81 see you didn't. now, but as long
as you led me into the mistake it is only
right that you should get off. The
driver is looking right at You. and his
car is losing time"
The woman rose up and walked of
without another word, and the man sat
down and paid not the least attention to
the amazed looks of the passengers

The SPEAKER OF THE Commons
The Speaker of the English House Of
Commons has hard life. He must
always be present from the beginning
to the close of its sessions, and as these
begin late in the afternoon, and some-
times last till morning, his constitu-
ton needs to be of the strongest to en-
dure the fatigue. He must keep the
House in order, and compel the observ-
ance of all rules, which is no easy task
in times of political excitement.
After his election to this important
post, he is expected to lay aside his
party preferences, and maintain the
most rigid impartiality. He does not
allow the reading of speeches, but calls
any member to order who attempts to
read from manuscript. During vote,
the House is emptied, those voting
"Aye," passing into lobby on the
right of the Speaker, and those voting
NO." into lobby on the left. Every
body in the House at the time of voting
must vote.
The Speaker holds his Office during
an entire Parliament, which lasts seven
years, unless sooner dissolved by the
Queen. For his hard service he re-
ceives the generous compensation of
twenty-five thousand dollars per year
and furnished house. When his
term of Office expires, he is promoted
to the Peerage, which gives him seat
in the House of Lords, reward which
an ordinary man could hardly be
blamed for coveting.

George Eliot MRS. Lews) the great.
est living novelist, the thoughtful peru
sal of one Of whose works is o liberal
education, has never had photograph
taken, so that the great majority OF
her admirers are compelled to view
her only through pen-and-ink sketches.
She is woman who must have passed
her fftieth year. Her hair is dark
brown, and has none of those silver
threads one might expect whore the
burden of half century of years is
added to incessant labor, and expert
ences full of desolation. She is not at
all handsome; her face is long and very
pale, with small sensitive mouth; eyes
dreamy, interpretive, and sad always.
Her hair is worn low over her intellec-
tual forehead, and her slender figure
has no robust-energy about it. George
Eliot's is the energy of mind, not OF
physical power. She is one Of the
greatest living conversationalists. She
is one of the most accomplished anna
teur pianists in England, and o first
rate linguist, and seems 10 know as
much about the healing art, history
and philosophy. What the witty Mrs.
French said of Madame de Stael-that
she is consolingly ugly-spplies TO
George Eliot; but her plain features
are made beautiful by her expression.
She composes slowly and methodically,
not more than sixty lines q day; and
report says that when she has COM
pleted book her nervous exhaustion
is such that her husband takes her
abroad ut once to recruit her failing
health. While writing, she must be
scruprlously arranged as TO surround
ings and person. She is not only O
wonderful author, bat q clever house
wife, too; and her home life is perfect
in all its details.
