Did ever you see Il name printed
on "a growing apple, pear or peach !
No! Well, if you wish to have
that pleasure this is the way to
obtain it: While thefruit yet hangs
green upon the tree, make up your
mind which is the very biggest and
most promising specimen of all.
Next, cut out from thin tough paper
the initials of the lame of your
little brother OF sister or chief
crony, with round specks for the
dots after the letters, and the let
tiers themselves plain and thick.
Then paste these letters and dots
on that side of the apple which is
most turned to the sun, taking care
not to loosen the fruits hold upon
its stem.
AS soon as the apple is ripe, take
off the paper cuttings, which, hav.
ing shut out the reddening rays of
the sun, have kept the fruit green
just beneath them, so that the name
or initials now show plainly. AT
ter that, bring the owner of the
initials to play near the tree, and
say presently: why, what are
those queer marks on that apple
up there :"
You will find this quite a pleas
ant way to .sarprise the very little
ones, aud, of course, you can print
- short pet name as easily as ini-
tials.-a. Nicholas, for September.

THE SUMNER RAIN.
A MOTHERS PLANT.
Oh simmer rain!

Oh summer rain!
Fall gently on the sod, where rest my dead,
Where grow the daisies, DER each fair,
young head,
Oh gentle summer rainl
Thou cans't not bring again each fair,
young fiow'r
For them | call in vain
But gently soothc, with thy soft voice and
love,
A mothers pain.
They were too fair for earth
AndI |, to keen them here, had been tnll fam;
But one by one, He took them,
My sweet low'rs,
Regardless OF my pain!
And now my tears fall fast
In vain, in vain
Like thy soft drops, adown the window
pane.
Oh gentle rainl
Soft fall thy drops upon the lowly bed,
Where rest in drcamless sleep
Ny precious dead
Free from all grief and pain.
They lie like broken lilies side by side,
'ris many a weary year since they have
died,
Oh mournful summer raini
And | have struggled with the wild, deep
grief,
From which my weary soul found no relief
1t was so full Of woe
Thpt bitter cnpl
| could not say | gave my darlings mp
To Him who ashed them Of me as a boon,
My dear Redcemer wanted them too soon,
could not let them go!
And all these years,
Oh patient summer rain!
Your loving messages have come in vain,
From that dear friend,
Who sent thee, with thy soothing voice
and low,
To calm a lonely mothers ceaseless woe,
And bid her sorrows end.
BE it now, oh Lord!
Ihumbly bow my head,
And thankfully commit to Thee my dead
With fearful eyes.
For | was blind, oh Lord!
And could not see
The blessedness in store for them and me
Beyond the skies
Where dwell my loved ones
In the realms of light,
Whilst l sit sorrowing in the gloom Of
night,
Because | could not know
That they had been removed from ills to
10 come,
And waited for me III the blessed homo
Where now l long to 60.
My kind Redecmer took them as a gift,
Though so reluctantly l gave them up.
And since I drained my last, moet bitter
cup,
He sent Gods peace my weary heart tn
lift,
And now, ] thank my God, that notin vain
/ listen to thy voice,

that war are also disappearing rapidly
before the growing prosperity and eco
nomic independence that is being real-
lied.
If there is any serious struggle for po-
litical ascendency in the nation, Mr.. At
kinson says it is not amongst the young
men or the business men of the South,
but is confined to that restless class of
politicians who have been more or less
mixed up in the disturbances of the past
that have cost the South so fearful Il
price. This new conservative class of
men see before them wealth and pros
perity, and seem to be well satisfied with
the power that substantial prosperity will
give their section Of the country. They
do not aspire to become the political
rulers of the whole Union.
They are getting sick of Bourbonism,
and when the present race of statesmen
or politicians has retired from business
the true Southerner will assert himself
by looking after the substantial interests
of his section. The establishment of
common schools, the encouragement of
agriculture, the utilization of labor, will
make the South more "sOlid," he fore
sees, than all the intrigues of all the
politicians in the United States.
The "untamed brigadiers" will have
their day, and it is in the nature OF
things they should, but they do not rep,
resent anybody but themselves.

The opinion of man who is above
the suspicion of partisanship or sectional
prejudice and who has had abundant op-
portunities to study the condition and
temper of the people of the South is
worth vastly more than anything that
can be CLEANED from the political field.
Mr. Edward Atkinson is such man, as
the very candid and unbiased statements
he makes give abundant proof. He is a
political economist of established saga
city and judgment and has made the
investigation on which his conclusions
are founded on the spot. He makes a
broad distinction between the South as it
is and the South as it is represented to
be by politicians both North and South,
and even by its own Representatives in
Washington. The sentiments of the war
era are gradually disappearing, as new
generation takes position on the stage of
life and the animosities growing out of
civil war and the prejudices ante-dating

THE Vulksfreund.l
Cincinnati Joke on GEN. jackson.

lNhuRtuT III iJlslOu lTdllSCflpt
Not long after General Jacksons re-
tirement from the Presidency, rumor
got abroad that he was bankrupt. This
was too good a chance of banter for the
Wings, whose detestation of Old Hickory
followed him to his retreat at the Her
mitage, to neglect. A Wing firm in Gin
cinnati, taking ironical pity on the old
hero, pasted two cards together, inserted
two of the large old-fashioned copper
cents between them in an unprepaid let
ter to the ex-President full Of mock CON
dolence.
The postage on the letter was 7G cents,
which General Jackson, not knowing
what was within, promptly paid. He at
once sat down and penned character,
istic reply, inclosing the 2 cents back tc
his wouId-be prosecutors. This reply
they did not see fit to take out Of the
Post-ofice, and it found its way to the
dead-letter office at Washington. The
original is now in the possession of Mr.
Geo. NJ. Towle, who kindly permits
"Causeur" to insert it here. 1t is full Of
Old Hickory's gruf, sarcastic humor, as
well as his bad spelling and grammar, as
will be seen:

The middle class of Russians have a
very sensible and withal rather an eco
nomical way of giving eclat to their
wedding festivities. They don't hire a
hall, neither do they employ band of
music, or pay big bills for snowy bill
of fare tofurnish forth the wedding supper.
And yet these rude people are not with
out their little vanities, which crop out
on such grand social events as that
of solemnizing matrimonial con-
tracts. Their wedding festivities are
ornamented with retired Generals
in full dress uniform. These re-
tired Generals are paid from five
roubles upward, according to the number
of decorations they are entitled to wear.
The hired Generals, like the hired mutes
or mourners at an old-time funeral, come
early and stay late, and give themselves
up for the time being to an apparent in
timacy with the family that employs
them, and after the festivities are over
go home full of vodkes, leaving halo of
hired glory around the newly welded
couple as amply satisfactory to these
semi-barbarians as costly trousseau or
borrowed presents are to the people of
Western Europe or America.

EVERYBODY has heard of the bad little
boy in school who would chew gum after
the teacher had forbidden it and was
punished for his disobedience by his jaws
continuing to chew in spite of him, even
after he repented and threw the gum out
of the window. The New York Sun,
that has been having spasms over the
fraudulent President ever since Hayes
was inaugurated, now wants awfully to
be good, but can't. 1t keeps talking on in
the same strain, just like clock that is
unable to stop striking until it runs
down. But we really do wish that the
New York Sun would run down some
time.
