The APpian Way.

Thss road was built 313 years before Christ
was. born. 1t was commenced in the heart of
the city of Rome, passed under the Porto
Capena, extended and extends through
Capua, Terracina, Beneventum, on to Brun-
dusium. Here and there it is covered up by
the neglected accumulation of ages, but
miles and miles Of it remain solid, clean and
smooth, as safe to horse and man as the day
it was finished.
The Roman Stranahan who built this road
was a park maker. He was the man who
wanted to drain the POntine Marshes that
Garabaldiw wants to drain, INT he wanted to
make pleasure grounds of them for the peo-
pie. The cost of this road, of course, was
enormous; but it nevertheless was the cheap
est road in the end that man ever built.
In the first place a good superstructure was
dug down to. From this all loose soil was
c~asefully removed. Then strata after strata
cemented with lime was raised on this, and
on the last of these was laid the pavement.
The pavement consisted of blocks Of stone
Joined together with exceeding care and
nicely of dovetailing, no interstices being APP
parent. There are none apperent on it to-day,
after a worlds travel over it for a decade of
centuries. The best part of it yet visible is
near Terracina. Over that road marched the
heavy legions of the Caesars, with their cum
1rous wagons and their ponderous catapults,
and over it male and female characters drove
four-in-hand to the sunny Adriatic sea. They
have not even marked its surface.

THE FLowER IN THE WINDOW.

Each morning as l walked along
The city street with tusy throng,
MY gaze was surely turned
To greet a pretty flower whose bloom
With light n fragrance filled the
Wherein 1t sweetly burned.
So human was the look ii bent
Upon me, that wher'er ! went
1t followed, like the face
of one who somehow seems to be
Linked closely with u destiny.
And in our hearts embrace.
From thoughts of sadness it beguiled,
And when l passed the place l smiled,
And felt q gladstone thrill,
Fen while / blessed the hand that stood
The pretty plant for others good,
Upon the window sill.
One morning at an early hour
I passed the house that held the flower
My heart had learned to prlze,
And, looking up. / caught the glow
OF roses on u field of snow,
The thrill of violet eyes.
So tickle was /, 1 forgot
The flower in the flower pot;
For not in any bower
Had 1 beheld so fair n sweet
A blOssom-graciously complete
AS his bright human flower.
And so, what e'er the time of day
That l may chance to pass that way,
IT'S joy for me to see
That face from out the window peep.
Which somehow always seems to keep
Its sweetest smile for me.

Why the Law is Uncertain.

Language is an imperfect instrument for
the expression Of ideas. Not few of its
forms are ambiguous; that is, they speak in
two ways. Readers and hearers are left in
old lsaac's plerplexity, The voice Is that Of
jacob, the hand is that of Esau They have
two meanings so that the reader is in doubt
as 10 the mind or intention Of the writer.
Those who draft statutes know how diff
cult IL is TO frame law which shall be free
from ambiguous expressions, or equivocal
terms Judge Story once told a personal
incident, which illustrates this difficulty.
lie was employed in Congress to draft an
act. So important was it that he spent six
months in trying To perfect the phrascology.
His purpose was 10 make the statute 50 clear
that the most astute lawyer should not be
able 30 cast the shadow of doubt upon its
meaning. The draft proving satisfactory to
the lawyers ia Congress became Il law In
less than u year suit, involving the inter
pretation Of this very law, came before the
court over which Justice Story presided.
Having heard the arguments Of the able at
torneys, the Judge confessed that he was
unable 10 decide upon tho meaning of a
statute which he himself had framed. lie,
Of course, knew what he had meant TO put
into the law. But the criticism of the two
lawyers showed him that Inc had used such
ambiguous expressions that II was doubtful
If he had said what he meant 10 have said.

A Lonely Grave.

That afternoon | found something had
wide pasture which had once been field.
The nearest house was at least two miles
away, but by hunting for it | found very
old cellar, where the ehild's home must have
been not very far oft, along the slope. 1t
must have been great many years ago that
the house had stood there; and the small
slate headstone was worn away by the rain
and wind, so there was nothing to be read
if indeed there had been any letters on it.
It bad looked many u storm in the face, and
many red sunset. | suppose the woods
near by had grown and been cut, and grown
again, since it was put there. There was an
old sweetbrier bush growing on the short
little grave, and in the grass underneath
found n ground-sparrow's nest. 1t was like
little neighborhood, and | have felt ever
since us II | belonged to il; and wondered
then If one of the young ground-sparrows
was not always sent TO take the nest when
the old ones were done with il, so they came
back in the spring year after year to live
there, and there were always the stone and
the sweet-brier bush and the birds to re-
member the child 1t was such lonely
place in the wide field under the great sky,
and yet il was 80 comfortable too; but the
thought of the little grave at first touched
me strangely, and tried to picture to my
self the procession that came out from the
house the day Of the funeral, and thought
of the mother in the evening after all the
people had gone home, and how she missed
the baby, and kept seeing the new grave out
here in the twilight as she went about her
work. | suppose the family moved away,
and so all the rest were buried elsewhere.
often think of this place, and link itn
my thoughts with something saw once in
the water when | was out at sea- little
boat some child had lost, that had drifted
down the river and out to sea; too long
voyage for IL was u sad little wreck, with
even It's white sail Of hand-breadth half
under water, and its twine rigging trailing
astern. 1t was silly little boat and no
loss except TO It's owner, TO whom it had
seemed rs brave and proud thing as any
ship of the line 10 you and me. II was
shipwreck Of his small hopes, suppose, and
can sec it now, the toy Of the great winds
and waves, as ii lloated on its way, while |
sailed on mine out of sight Of land.
The grave is forgotten by everybody but
me, think the mother must have found
the child again in heaven u very long time
ago; but in the winter shall wonder If the
snow has covered II well, and next year
shall 90 TO see the sweet-brier bush when it
is in bloom. God knows what use that life
was the grave is such short one and no.
body knows whose little child it was; but
perhaps thousand people in the world to-
day are better because il brought little
love into the world that was not there be-
iore.--Ihupef's Mdgazine.

LOVE IN ALL.

Name the leaves on all the trees,
Name the waves on all the seas,
All the flow'rs by rill that blow,
All the myriad tints that glow,
Winds that wonder through the grove,
And you name the name of Love.
Love there is in summer sky,
AS in light of maiden's eye.
Listen to the countless sounds
o In the wind that gayly bounds
Der the meads, where, on the wing,
Bright bees hum and linnets sing,
Pat of rain-drop, chat of stream
OF their song sweet Loves the theme.
Love their is where zephyr slSips,
AS in breath of maiden's lips.
In the west mild evening glows;
Angel fingers fold the rose;
Silyery dews begin to fall;
Crimson shades to shadow all;
Holy Nature wells her face;
Earth is lost in Heavens embrace.
Love Is In an hOur ike this,
AS in guileless maiden's kiss.
Go where, through the voiceless night,
Trips fair Luna's silver light;
Hear Of Natures pulse the beat,
Like the tread of unseen feet
See from out the lambert north
Shimmering arrows shooting forth
Love is in meteor's start,
AS in throb of maiden's heart.
Loves the essence of all things;
"Tis from Love that beauty springs;
Twas by Love creation first
Into glorious being burst;
Yelled in maiden's form so fair,
do worship thee in her
Spirit sweet-all else above,
Love is God, since God is Love.
