The Seven Wise Men.

Most people have heard of the ''Seven
Wise Mea of Greece" but very few know
who they were or how they became to be
called so. The seven wise men of Greece
are supposed to have lived in the fifth
century before Christ. Their names are
Pittacus, Bias, Scion, Thales, Chilou,
Cleobulus and Fernandez. The reason of
their being called wise is given different
ly by various authors, but the most ap.
proved accounts state that as some Coans
we're fishing, certain strangers from
Miletus bought whatever should be in the
nets without seeing it. When the nets
were brought in they were found to con-
tain gold tripod which Helen, az she
sailed from Troy, is supposed to have
thrown there. A dispute arose between
the fishermen and the strangers as tc
whom it belonged, and, as they could not
agree, they took it to the temple of Apollo
and consulted the priestess as to what
should be done with it.. She said it must
be given to the wisest man in Greece, and
it was accordingly sent to one Of the
seven, who lmodestly disclaimed the title
and forwarded the jewel to another, an6
so on, until it passed through the hand
of all the men, distinguished afterward a.
the Seven Wise Men," and as each; one
claimed that the other was wiser than he
1t was finally sent to the temple Of Apollo
where it long remained to teach the les
son that the wisest are the most distrust
full of their wisdom.

Quiet Lives.

In a valley, centuries ago,
Grew little fernleaf, green and SLENDER
Veining delicate, and fibers tender,
Waving when the wind crept down so low,
Rushes tall, and moss and grass grew round
it;
Playful sunbeams darted in and found it;
Drops of dew stols down by night and
ss crowned it.
But no foot of man e'er came that way;
Earth was young and keeping holiday,
Useless? Lost? There came thoughtful
man, ". -ss-=. rr-~.r~-y-r--

The Dearer-Dead.

You mourn for your dead; you 60,
Clad in your roles OF woe,
To the spot where they sleep;
And YOU weep
Such bitter tears, and there
You strew flowers fresh and fair.
You place Il white stone at the heAd, e..
Where, carven with sculptor's art
We read your sorrow Of heart, r..
And the dear name of your dead. -.--
But there are dearer dead; you know
Not the bitterest woe
Till you close the eager eyes
Ofsweet young Hope, till mou-nfulwise
You cross the hands of Love,
And Borrowing bend above
The ashes and dust
OF Honor, and Truth and Trust;
For these are the dearest dead.
0, these other dead! who dare
Robes OF mourning for dead hopes wear!
Who bids a stone arise
To tell where dead Love lies?
When did ever mourner say
Help me bury these dead away?
These funeral trains men do not see;
They move silently
Down to the heart where the grave Is made
Where the dead is laid.
No flowers are strewn there,
IS Hear we no moan there;
No ritual is said
Over their bed.
Hidden from human sight,
The grave lies low;
But the solemn silent night
That doth know: %t
And it alone seeth the white
Face Of our woe.
You are happy who mourn for your dead
By the side Of graves kept green
E By the tears you shed;
Who can learn
Lovingly where they sleep.
Pray for those who in secret weep
The dearer dead.

The hair is now dressed low in puffs
and ringlets. The back is dressed in the
same way, with the braid often forming
an oval. The forehead is still covered
by the Breton bandeau. This banaeau
consists of short natural waves, which
fail over the forehead without having any
part" A net made of hair, in the same
color as the natural hair, is placed over
this to keep it in place.

him and collar him, and demand that he
should return back. But then he 1ecol-
lected that in the last scratch he had
with Stephen, two or three years be-
fore, he had little the worst of it, and
he instinctively stood still, while Stephen
passed on without seeing him. It fash
ed upon his mind at once that the ques-
ton must now be reduced to game of
speed. IF he could by any means gain
the schoolhouse first, and engage Miss
Lucy to walk home with him, he should
consider himself safe. But il Stephen
should reach the schoolhouse first, he
should feel a good deal of uneasiness for
the consequences. Stephen was walking
very leisurely, and unconscious that he
was in danger of a competitor on the
course, and it was important that his sus-
picions should not be awakened. Charles
! therefore remained perfectly quiet till
! Stephen had got a little out oe hearing,
and then he threw down his bushes and
! flowers, and ran to the wharf below the
store with his utmost speed. He was
ready at a moments warning to start on
an expedition of this kind, for Sunday
clothes were an every day affair
with him. There was light canoe
belonging to his father lying at the
wharf, and couple of stout boys were
there fishing. Charles hailed them, and
told them if they would row him across
the pond as quick as they possibly could,
he would give them quarter of dolla:

The Story of a Needle.

About thirty years ago Mrs. Butner,
mother-in-law of T. L. Montgomery,
proprietor of the Rose City baking pow
der factory of this city, was seized with
what she termed rheumatism. The
pain was located in the left hip, and
was at times very severe. Finally it
became necessary to perform a surgical
operation, which was done, part of the
hip joint being taken off. Physicians
held the opinion that the joint was af-
fected, and that the operation would
afford relief, but, contrary to their ex-
pectations, the lady did not improve
very much. For years she had to use
clutches, and at one time she was con-
fined to her bed for over year. This
was while the family lived in Kentucky.
After removing into this State, Mrs.
Butner did not improve very much,
and it was only by the use of crutches
that she could walk any distance. Last
Saturday morning a small needle, of
the old-fashioned "cambric" style, made
its appearance, the point protruding
from the diseased section. Small pieces
ofbone having from time to time worked
out, the. needle was thought to be
another fragment, and it was only after
being Withdrawn that the truth was
discovered. Mrs. Rutner says that she
remembers once, when girl, riding
horseback, she was stuck by a needle
which happened to be in her dress.
The needle was broken off just below
the eyes The description answers to
the. one spoken of, and there can be
but little doubt but that it is the same.
Since the needle made it's appearance
the lady is much improved and can
now walk without the aid of crutches.-

crash went the support under his feet.

crash went the support under his feet,
and he dropped through the floor like a
shot, to my utter amazement, and with
out the power to help himself at all by
catching at anything, his arms being
half way in and out Of his coat-sleeves.
But that was not all: supplementary
crash followed, and when, as quickly as
I could, succeeded in getting down
the ladder to survey the scene, amidst
the screams of the children, my stout
friend, [ found, had by his fall broken
down mine hosts bed, directly under
the chasm, and was trying to extrlcate
himself from the ruins.
The exhibit was funny enough, GER
tainly. The unfortunate politician, his
coat still halfway on, was lyingaon mis-
back, trying to get out from mixture
Of quilts, broken boards, and one or two
cross poles; for the bedstead was not of
rosewood or mahogany, but of poplar
poles, laid at right angles on forked
sticks, these latter driven into the
ground, the former inserted into auger-
holes in the logs forming the walls of
the cabin; and mine host and his wife,
who had commenced their toilets for
the night, were standing by, looking
scared and astounded; the woman hav-
ing caught up her baby out of sort of
sap-trough cradle, doubtless thinking
that an earthquake had occurred, and
that the cabin was coming down. OF
course I could not help giving way to a
roar of laughter as I took the whole
thing in at a glance, despite halfway
attempt as well as could, to sympa-
thize with and comfort the victim of SO
queer a catastrophe; and my laughing
seemed to be the signal for all hands to
join mall, I may say, except my
friend-who, very red in the face, could
finally only give way to a sort of con-
cession of a laugh as he at last got, on
his legs. p" =
Fortunately, the descent was only
some seven or eight feet, for log cabins
are not favored with lofty ceilings, and
no bones were broken; and our host,
despite the wrecking of his bedstead,
went to blaming himself and laughing
alternately at the mishap; and, better
than all, promised mot to tell :" on the
unfortunate subject of it, good as the
incident would have been considered
by the opposition, had it gotten out.
So, after brief time spent in repairing
damages, all hands got settled at last
and, lulled by the rain as it still pat
tered and dashed by turns on the roof

until we were soundly asleep, nothing
further occurring to disturb us until

morning began to throw slanting beams
in upon us through the crevices of the

The Value Of Bessemer Steel.

Sir Henry Bessemer, who has just
been knighted for his great services as
an inventor, is entitled to the fame and
fortune which have come to him. The
sewing machine and the telegraph have
been enormous labor-savers, but of
these it would have been difficult for
their originators when alive to estimate
the monetary value to mankind of the
discoveries. With the making of steel
the case is different, for the saving can
be figured down to nicely on every
ton made, and the, annual product Of
the various civilized countries is pretty
accurately known From data thus
collected it is estimated that in labor
and material the world is a gamer to
the amount of $1OO,OOO,OOO a year by
using the Bessemer process in convert
ing ore into steel. Or. considered in
another way, the advantage Of low
priced enduring material, such as Bes-
senler steel, when compared with iron,
has been made matter of calculation
as far as railroad tracks are concerned,
with the following astonishing results:
NIT. Ff1co Williams, VINO is an expert IN
matters of this kind, has stated that by
substituting steel for iron saving in
expenditure will be made during the
life Of one set of steel rails on all the
existing lines in Great Britain of not
less than $850,000,000. In view of
these facts, if Sir Henry has obtained
in royalties the sum of $5,25O,O0O, most
persons will concede he has got no
more than he deserves.
