THE WHITE FLOWER'S STORY

A sweet, pure flower, white as the snow without, grew and blossomed in the scented air, And dreamed full many dream of life and love. I heard young lovers whispering all about, And thought that soon I, too, should have my
 share. The sunshine wooed me gazing from above, Until the whole place owned it's wonderous
 power. . " With soft, sad eyes watched my lady come, And as she drew me towards her heaving breast I deemed my time drew nigh to see the world, That world, of which heard the voiceless hum Go on for e'er, with curious vague unrest And wider yet my pure white leaves unfurled. My lady wears me at the ball tonight once shall see scene of rare delightr' With shaking hand, my lady cut the stem, And pressed me to her lips, and in her eyes l saw the large tears slowly gathering there; Yet did not fall. She did not notice them, And looked through mist beyond the pale blue
 skies
 As If she saw mystic vision fair. Ny lady gives me-" said I, whispering low, "To him to whom her sweet heart longs to go.'' Slowly she carried me with Tagging feet Into another room. There, on the bed, Lay something white and wonderful and grand, Upon the lips lingering smile, so sweet I knew was with the blessed dead, Whose work was done, who could no longer
 stand -... With weary eyes, watching the daylight die Too swift away across the winter sky. My lady placed me on tn unloading heart, By the crossed hands, and sighed with bitter { pain
 And yet methought she envied me my place. She turned away, then, as if forced apart, 7 Her lips just breathed her lover's name again; Yet came no sign upon that silent face. Twas then knew it all-death is lifes best, And he Wins most who earliest goes to rest.

Solving a Social Problem.
WHY WOMEN ARE EXTENSIVE AFTER THEY
 ARE MARRIED.

A lady writer complains that the ex- pensive habits of young women nowa- days exert 8 serious influence in deter ring young men who are not rich from marrying. She cites instances of the in creasing timidity of young men in this respect, and seems to think that the fault rests almost entirely with lovely women. As usual, this particular wom- an is rather severe upon the rest of her sex. That the passion for dress and dis play on the part of girls has prevented many marriages we have not single doubt, but it is unfair to claim that this mania is restricted to the ladies alone. | Young men, as 8 rule, are quite as much | given to show in dress and to the indul- gence of expensive tastes as are young women and to the fact that they are not willing to relinquish these luxuries | is to be ascribed much of the falling off in the popularity of marriage. Indeed, we seriously doubt whether, if the facts could be obtained, it would not be found that girls are much more ready to give up fine dresses and jewelry and display, | in return for modest little homes with the men of their choice, than the latter | to join them in their sacrifcial act. Mar riage without adequate means of support is blunder that is almost crime but no girl made of ordinary stuff will hesi- tate to share the trials and sacrifices of the man she loves, provided he has that competence, however modest. The thousands of happy, smiling homes, where true love constantly abides, in spite of the slenderness of the family in- come, sufficiently attest the readiness of the average woman to surrender the bau- bles of wealth and fashion in order to become devoted wife and mother. If the opposite sex were uniformly ami mated by 8 similar spirit, we venture to assert that the number of maids and bachelors would rapidly diminish. The truth IS, there is too much love of dress and pretentiuos displayed in both sexes, and, until reaction sets in, we may ex- pect our correspondents complaint to be reiterated by all who are pained by the popular disfavor into which the mo- ble art of matching" has fallen in re- cent years.

Discovered in Time.

Among the stories which are told at St. Petersburg of the attempts made by the Nihilists to penetrate into the Winter Palace is the following: Gen. Gourko, when Governor of St. Petersburg, had the right of entering at any time into the Emperor's room without being an- nounced. Once, however, the door keeper, seeing something unusual about his appearance, stopped him, saying that it would be necessary to inform the En- peror of his arrival. The General ob- jected at first, but, finding that the doorkeeper only grew more suspicious, ultimately agreed to his being announced. The doorkeeper then told the Emperor of his doubts; upon which the latter went to writing table in his room, which was connected by telegraph with Gen. Gourko's residence, and telegraphed, "Where is Gourko ?" "At home," was the reply. This, of course, settled the point. The false Gourko was at once arrested, and turned out to be a member of the Revolutionary Committee.

A CHANaE.-The Memphis (Tenn. ) Appeal says that since the war there have been as many as one hundred mur- ders committed in that city in one year, but that of late years the number has greatly diminished, and, indeed, when a murder now occurs it attracts consider able attention. This change it attributes to the punishment which the recent city officers have inflicted upon those who have been guilty of the crime of carrying concealed deadly weapons.

FEvER.-Typhoid fever creeps into the house through the cellar. Decaying vegetables and accumulations of debris and dirt are the seeds of miasmatic dis eases. It is now fully time, as the warm weather is approaching, for every cellar in the city and in the country to be thoroughly cleansed. In fact, cellar should never be allowed to get into an uncleanly condition; but if a choice must be made between the parlor and the eel lar, clean the cellar first. The doctor may lose, but you will gain by it. -'

Delphine Gay.

Delphine Gay, a French novelist, was
the daughter Of French official in
one of the departments, and of his wife
Sophie, who was the authoess Of
number of works both in poetry and
prose. Monsieur Gay was doomed to
experience one OF the penalties which
sometimes attend the possessors OF
clever wives. Sophie having written
q witty sally against a project of the
department, her husband was depriv-
ed Of an appointment which he had
enjoyed under the victim of his wife's
satire. Their daughter, Delphinc,
married Monsieur Emile de Girardin,
the well-known journalist, a really
good and conscientious man. but one
whose temper also had been sourcd
by early misfortunes. His young,
beautiful, and witty wife was as great
a iavorite i'll society as he was the re-
verse. Her rooms were the constant
resort of the most celebrated literary
characters Of the day Lamartine, AL
exandrs Dumas, Balzac, Victor Hugo,
Merry, Theophile, Gautier, Eugene
Sue, and sometimes Alfred de Musset
Among all these celebrities it is fear
ed that the husband was often for
gotten: and though Delphine occa-
sionally met him at dinner, nursed
him when he was i'll, and was ready
at all times TO help him out Of the
difficulties into which his quarrel
some disposition had involved him;
he inhabited his own rooms, and new
er appeared at his wife's RECEPTIONS
This, however, is matter of small
moment in France, the marital ties
set very loosely, and Madame enjoys
herself to the fullest extent to mako
up what she has has lost as Madenoi-
selle.

The Spider.
Growing Age.

HlONluB age
The spider has never been at school
q day in his life; he has never learned
a trade or read book, yet he can
make the straightest lines, most per-
feet circles, beautiful little bridges,
and many of his family can spin and
weave, some Of them can hunt and
swim and dive and do mason work al
most as well as if they had trowel
and mortar. There is spider in my
garden that makes SO many lines and
circles you'd think it had been all
through geometry. 1t makes circles,
every one little larger than the 9TH
er, about twelve of them, and then
from the smallest circles begins and
makes about twenty-eight straight
lines going to the outside circle, like
the whalebones in an umbrella. 1t
makes this web SO perfect and regular
that it is called the geometric spider.
You'll see late in summer clusters of
its eggs on bushes and hedges. When
hatcied the spiders all keep together
in little ball. You touch this ball
and the spiders will scatter in all di-
rections but as soon as they can
they'll get together again, rs before
left my silk dress last night hanging
over q chair near the wall, and this
morning found that Mrs. Spider l,ad
been there in the night and made
beautiful little bridge of silk between
my dress and the wall. The SPIDER
that made this bridge for me had eight
eyes. Ii can't move any one OF these
eyes; each eye has but one lens and
can only see what is just in front of
it. 1t had pair of sharp claws in
the fore part of It's head with these
little pincers it catches other smaller
spiders. When the spider is at rest
it folds these little claws one over
the other like parts of scissors. This
spider has eight feet; most insects,
you know, have six. AT the end of
each foot is movable hook. 1t has
five little spinners, OF spinnerts. with
which it makes its web. Each of
these spinncrs las an opening which
it can mako as large or as small as II
likes. There is atube like little hall
communicating into each of these
openings. In this tube there are four
little reservoirs, which holds tho
"gluey substance Of which tho thread
is spun" rs soon rs this liquid
comes to tho air 1t becomes aetongh
and strong thread. | suppose the air
acts upon 1t In some way.

The crown Jewels which the French
government is anxious to sell, consist
in part of objects which have neither
artistic value nor historical associa-
tons. The minister of fine arts states
that the sum of 81 100000 which il is
estimated they will fetch would enable
him 10 form y reserve fund for the oc-
casional purchase of works Of art for
the national museums. At present
the administration Of fine arts has the
disposal of u sum of 500, 900 voted by
the chambers every year, but the force
of routine Is so great that the minister
is obliged to spend the whole Of this

there are favorable opportunities for

sum by a single franc when there arc
several important sales during tho
year.

INDIGESTION,
The BiyOuac OF the Dead.
by col. THEODORE o'HARA.

The murled drums sad roll has beat,
The soldiers last tattool
No more on lfe's parade shall meet
The brave and fallen few.
on Famcs eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
and glory guards with solemn rouhd
The blvouac of the dead
No ruuor Of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
Nor troubled thought at midnight haunh
0floyed ones left behind.
No vision Of the morr0w's strife
The warriors dream alarms,
No braying horn, no screaming lfc
At dawn shall call to arms
Their shiyered swords arc red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner traed in dust,
Is now their martial shroud-
And plenteou, funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
and tho proud forms by battle gashed
Are free IRON anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blades,
The bugle's ttirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonadc,
The dina and shout are passed,
nor wars wild notes, nor Glory's peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermOrc may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Come down the Serried foe.
Who heard the thunder Of the fray
Break Ger the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or DEATH"
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne TO a spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The hero's sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadi
Dear is the blood you gave
no impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrels yoiceless stone,
In deathless song shall tell,
when many a yanquished year hath flown
The story how you fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, winters blight
Nor times rcmorseless doom,
Can dim one ray OF holy light,
That glds your glorious tomb.
