The (" Liberty Cap.o

The " liberty cap" takes its origin
from the ancient Phrygian cap, which
may be seen in all the representations
ofthe Trojans in Flaxman's illustrations
to Homer. In ancient Greece and Rome,
slaves were not allowed to have the
head covered, and part of the ceremony
of freeing slave was placing this cap
on his head, which thus became the
symbol of liberty and was so regarded
during the Roman republic. A cap on
pole was used by Saturninus as a
token Of liberty to all slaves who might
join him, and Marius raised the same
symbol to induce the slaves to take
arms with him against Scylla. After
the death of Caesar the c0nspirators
marched out in body with cap borne
before them on spear, and it is said
that a medal struck on the occasion
and bearing this device is still in ex-
istence. In DIR. ZInkeisen's History
of the Jacobin Club we are told that
the liberty cap" or ssbonnet rouge
was introduced by the Girondists and
that it owed its favorable reception
principally to an article by Brissot,
which appeared in the Rdtriote FToscG5s
and in which he declared that the
mournful uniform of hats" had been
introduced by priests and despots" and
proved from history that all great ma
iions-the Greeks, the Romans and
Gauls-had held the cap in peculiar
honor" 1t is also said that the bon
net rouge" was habitually worn by the
galley slaves and was adopted as the
symbol of freedom after the release Of
the Swiss regiments of Chateau Vieux,
and it is very likely that this circum-
stance gave the first impulse to the
fashion, but it soon became identified
with the i" liberty cap" of antiquity

Questioning.

oh, lip, beneath the grasses gray,
Beneath the dead leaves and the mold,
II you could speak to me to-day,
What strange, sweet secrets would be toldi
Dear lips, that 1 have often kissed,
Unclose, and answer me, prayf
Or is deaths silence like mist
That shuts the world and us away,
So far away
Oh, eyes, beneath the dead leaves hid,
l wonder if you cannot see,
Through the soft iringes Of your lid,
The blossoms blowing for the beel
Say, can you see the grasses stir
At the warm kisses Of the spring.
Be natures true interpreter,
And answer al my questioning.
Oh, neart, true heart. whene'er kneel
Between you and the tender sky,
Does not some influence make you feel
That he who loved you 30 is nigh
Oh, dear, dead love. it cannot be
That you forget the things OF old;
know you hear and think OF me,
Beneath the dead leaves and the mold.
With love untold

Marriages and Marriage Fees.

An article in the st. Louis Globe Demo
erdt, narrating some anecdotes told by
clergymen of that city respecting mar
riage ceremonies. contains the follow
ing;3
man in Connecticut" said the minister,
"that he had married very wealthy
couple, and at the conclusion of the
ceremony the groom, placing his fingers
in his vest pocket, took paper packet
and quietly handed it to him. He put
it in his pocket, and when he reached
home opened it and found it was paper
of chewing tobacco. The bride and
groom left for Europe that evening.
Upon their return, two months after
ward, the gentleman called on the min
lister and asked if he had not made some
mistake. An explanation followed, and
the gentleman handed the minister 5000
as his fee."
DO you ever have any strange ex-
perience of that naturep"

the elegant homes in this city not long

"Yes. When / was in New York a

A Lesson.

A little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has SO much to bear
A cbild's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath thatch of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm, moist fingers holding yours SO
tight
You do not prize the blessings overmuch-
You are almost too tired TO pray tonight.
But it is blessedness! year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We are all so dull and thankless, and too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away.
And now itseems SURPRISING strange to me
That while wore the badge OF motherhood
I did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good.
And il some night, when you sit downto rest,
You miss the little elbow on your tired
knee
This restless curly head from off your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly;
If from your own the dimpled hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your palm again,
ffthe white feet into the grave had tripped-
I-could not blame you for your heartache
then.
| wonder that some mothers ever fret
Their little children cling to their gown;
Or that the footprints when the days are wet
Are ever black enough to make them frown;
Ifcould find little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket, on my chamber floor
Ii l could kiss a rosy, restless foot
And hear it patter in my house once more
II could mend broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky,
There Is no woman in God world could say
She was more blissfully content than I!
But alb the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head!
My singing bidding from its nest has flown
The little boy used to kiss is-dead.

When through The dosEy hush 10 whisper

A night when one would dream OF dear and

ANTIQUITY OF WHEAT.-Wheat has
been In use for bread since the earliest
antiquity. Its origin cannot be autheu-
ticaliy traced, nor are the millions who
use il much concerned on that head, as
long as they have plenty Of the flour
which the nOurishing article produces.
IL was introduced into this country, ac-
cOrding TO a writer in the american
Miller, in 1899. As to its cultivation,
this may be true, but there is good rea-
son to believe that il was brought over
with Columbus in one OF his voyages at
an earlier period. Its discovery is at
tributed TO have been by chance on this
continent, the story Of which runs as
follows: 4 slave of COTieZ found few
grains Of wheat in parcel Of rice, and
showed them to his master, who ordered
them to be planted. The result showed
that wheat would thrive well on MeXi-
can soil, and to-day one OF the finest
wheat valleys in the world is found near
the Mexican capital. From Mexico the
cereal found its way 10 Peru. a monk
introduced IL at Quito, Ecuador; and il
is said that the jar which contained the
seed is still preserved by the monks Of
Quito. Wheat was introduced into the
present limits Of the United States con-
iemporaneously with the settlement Of
the country by the English aud Dutch.

Tumors and salt Rheum, Worms, GOut, Neu-
ralgia, as a Dinner Pill, and Purifying the
Blood, are the most cougenial purgatives yet
perfected. Their effects abundantly show how
much they excel all other Pills. They are safe
and pleasant TO take, but powerful 70 cure.
They purge outthe foul humOrs of the blood;
they stimulate the sluggish or disordered or
gans into action; and they impart health and
tone 20 the whole being. They cure not only
the everyday complaints Of everybody, but
formidable and dangerous diseases. Most
skuful physicians, most eminent clergymen,
and our best citizens, send certificates OF cures
performed, and OF great benefits derived from
these pills. They are the safest and best physic
for children, because mild as well as effectual.
Being sugarcoated, they are easy TO take; and
being purely vegetable, they are entirely
harmless. Prepared by
