THE END OF THE WAY.
1.-THE following beautiful lines were written by a
young lady in Nova Scotia an invalid for many years.

[The following beautiful lines were written by
1oung lady in Nova Scotia AN invalid for many years.
My life is a awearisome journey,
I'm sick with the dust and the heat,
The rays Of the sun beat upon me.
The briers are woundlng my feet;
But the city to which am journeying
Will more than my troubles repay.
All the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end Of the way.
There are so many hills to climb upward
l often am longing for rest,
But He who appoints me my pathway
Knows what is needful and best;
/ know in His word He has promised
That my strength shall be as my day;
And the tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
He loves me too we'll to forsake me.
Or give me one trial too much
All his people have been dearly purchased,
And Satan never can claim such.
By and by shall see Him and praise Him,
In the city of unendng day;
And the tolls Of the road VIII seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
When the last feeble steps have been taken
And the gates of the city appear,
And the beautiful songs of the angels
Float out on my listening ear;
When all that seems now so mysterious
Will be plain and clear as the day:
Yes, the toll Of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end Of the way.
Though now 1 am footsore and weary,
shall rest when I'm safely at home,
know III receive glad welcome.
For the Saviour himself has said, come.
So when l am weary in body
And sinking in spirit, say,
All the tolls of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end of the way.
Cooling fountains are there for the thirsty;
There are cordlals for those who are faint,
There are robes that are whittier and purer
Than any that fancy can paint:
Then I'll try to press hopefully ownward,
Thinking often through each weary day.
The tolls Of the road will seem nothing
When get to the end Of the way.

The finest specimen of Brussels lace
is SO complicated as to require the labor
of seven persons on one piece, and each
operative is employed at distinct feat
ures of the work. The thread used is
of exquisite fineness, which is spun in
dark underground rooms, where it is
sufficiently moist to keep the threads
from separating. 1t is SO delicate as
scarcely to be seen, and the room is SO
arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall upon the work. 1t is such
material that renders the genuine Brus-
sells lace SO costly. On piece of Val
enciennes, not two inches wide, from
two to three hundred Gobbins are used ;
and for larger wild th, as many as eight
hundred.

A Busy FAMILY.-A case of assault

were plaintiff and defendant respective
ly. was on trial in Justice Alley yester-
day, and the plaintiffs lawyer was very
anxious to make out that the defendants
family must have seen the fight, which
took place just outside the kitchen door.
The defendants mother being on the
stand, the lawyer began: "Well, where

struck ?" down cellar skimming milk
and tying cloths over my preserve jars, "
she replied. ''Where was your hus-

HOW YOUNG LADIES FISH.

1here are generally ABOUT SIX OF them
in bunch, with light dresses on, and
they have three poles with as many
hooks and lines among them. AS soon
as they get to the river they look for a
good place to get down on the bank, and
the most venturesome sticks her boot
heel in the bank, makes two careful
steps down-then suddenly finds herself
at the bottom, with both hands in the
water, and feeling that everybody in
this wide world is looking at her, and
she never tells anybody how she got
there. The other girls pro6ting by her
example, turn around and 60 down the
bank on their hands and knees, back
ward. Then they scamper over the riffs
until they find shallow place where
they can see the fish, and shout:
"Oh see one %
"Where ?'
'Thcre !''
"Oh my! so he is
Lets catch him."
"Who's got the bait ?"
"You lazy thing your sitting on my
pole -
All these EXPLANATIONS are gotten of
in tone that awakens every echo with
in a mile around, and sends every fish
that hears into "galloplng Mysteries. y
Then the girls by superhuman exertions
manage to get worm on the hook and
throw it in with splash like the launch
ing of wash tub, and await the result
After while feeble-minded sun6st
contrives to get fastened on the hook o.
a feeble woman, and she gives vent t.
her tongue.
"Oh !! something has got on my hook J
''Pull up. you little idiot" shout five
excited voices, and poles and hooks are
dropped and they run to the rescue
The girls with the bait gives a spasmo
die jerk, which sends the unfortunate
"sunny" into the air the full length O
the line, and comes down on the neares
curly head with damp flop that set
her to clawing as though there wer
humble bees in her hair.
"Oh, murder, take it away Ugh
take it away, the nasty thing !"
Then they hold up their skirts ant
gather round the fish as it skips owe
the logs, one all the time holding tn
line in both hands with her. foot on tn
pole, as though she had an evil disposed
goat at the end. Then they talk i
over.
"How will it get off ?"
"Ain't it pretty q
wonder if it amt dry ?''
"Poor little thing let's put it back.
"How will we get the hook from it !?
"Pick it up" says girl, who back
rapidly out of the circle.
'Good gracious, I'm afraid of i
There its opening its mouth at me"
Just then ''sunny" wiggles off tn
hook and disappears between two log
into the water, and the girls try fl
another bite. But the sun comes dow
and fries the back of their necks, an
they get three headaches in the party
. and all get cross and scold at the fs
like SO many magpies. If any unwar
club dares to show himself in the wat
they poke at him with poles, much
his disgust, Finally they get mad a
over and throw the poles away, hunt |

Costumes for Portraits.

Portrait painting has become quite
the vogue again, and what dress to wear
to be immortalizcd in is a subject of
serious thought at present with many
fair sittcrs. Nine. Charles Heine gave
a soiree few nights ago in honor of the
Prince of Sweden, and the principal
topic of conversation was the portrait
of the Duchess d Elchingen, the adopted
daughter of the house. She is repre-
sented standing in white satin ball
dress, with a sOrtie de bal of embossed
velvet and white ground, with black
flowers in relief. Portrait painters now
pay exceeding attention to the dress .of
those they protray, and only true artists
succeed in, selecting attires that will look
well, no matter what the current fa:h-
ions are. Nj. MastrazzO will exhibit two
exquisite portraits of young ladies, both
dressed in Louis XVI, style. One in a
short mauve satin, with Lamballe
fichu tied at the back, boquet of tea
roses at the side and the hair simply
dressed. The ViscOuntess de P.'s por-
trait at the Salon, painted by Paul La
zerges, is much admired. She is stand
ing; wears black satin skirt, q Merveil-
leuse coat in black satin damask, with a
double plush collar and cravat of old
lace, the style of a century ago. A long
black beaver hat with long feather,
and cane with a Dresden china
handle in her hand. Nine. Fleury's
portrait of Nine. de ", likewise at the
Salon, is a success. The dress is white
satin, the train trimmed with lace, and
the front of the skirt with garlands Of
violets; the epaulettes are viOlets and n
few of same flowers on the bodice; the
comb is also Ornamented with violets.
The Baroness de POilly's port ait, by
NJ. Becker, is somewhat eccentric. she
is represented in a low Greek dress, with
draperies of white lace, fastened on the
shoulder with large turquoise. An
immense Rembrandt hat in red velvet
has large diamond f.urs-de lys fasten.

What Trees Shall We Plantl

The question, "what trees shall We
plant?' is frequently asked by persons
who desire either to replace the decayi &
shade treesin front of their premises or 10
set out trees in places heretofore vacant.
The Hon. b. G.. Northrop, Secretary Of
the Connecticut Board of Educati n,
who has done more than any other per-
ION in that State for the improvement of
the public thOrOughfares of its cities and
villages, as well as the country highways
especially in the matter of tree planting,
says in answer that choice native trees
deserve the first mention, namely, the
elm, maple, white ash, white oak, lin
den or Eastwood, tulip tree, hickory and
black walnut. All of these are admir-.
able for the roadside, and majority of
them are especially adapted for the city
avenues. The tulip tree lisa magnificent
vegetable and worthy of general favor
for ornamental purposes. 1t does not
transplant well, however, unless taken
when young, and must be set out with
very great care. The elm has been
called the most desirable of shade and
ornamental trees of the temperate zone.
and next to it come the maple and oak,
of foreign trees the European birch is
the best. 1t combines in rare degree
three desirable qualities, namely, tropi-
cal growth, symmetry of form, and
durability, and is therefore especially
valuable for shade and ornamentation.
There may also he mentioned the purple
beach, Norway maple and ginko, all Of
which may be procured of the nursery
men. But unless the soil and location
are we'll adapted for the successful
growth of these ornamental varieties, it
is much more desirable TO select native
trees for transplanting. Mr.. Northrop
very truthfully says: eff every citizen
will duly care for his own frontage and
grounds, grand result may he accom-
plished. If private taste and public
spirit can be enlisted, the streets, roads,
and homes may easily be made beautiful
and inviting. The good work should 80
on until not dwelling or street is left
without the simple and grand adornment
of shade trees, and: with shrubhery,
flowers, and lawn where such additional
beauties may be added."-N Y Com.

A Thirsty Pair.

Not long ago the Berlin semi-oficial
organ published detailed account of an
extraordinary beer-swillny performance
that took place in Landvogt's restaurant,
Under the Linden. The actors were
Pomeranian Lieutenant of the Land
wehr Cavalry and Silesian student,
whose abundantly bescarred cOunte
nance proclaimed him, at the very lc st,
a mossy-headed renOwner." These
votaries of Gambrinus, both giants in
stature and bulk, stalked into Land
vogt's one afternoon in the breezy month
of March and called in stentorian tones
for respective mugs OF Pilsener and
Munchener beer. OF the foaming con-
tents of these vessels they promptly dis.
posed BY the so-called cowswallow J"
method. When they called for their
bill, some three hours and half after
their first installment of humming
bub" had vanished down their we'll
seasoned throats, it was found that the
Pomeranian Lieutenant had absorbed
67 pints of Pilsener, while his Silesian
fellow soaker had succeeded in furnish
accommodation for 81 seidels of the
more potent brew that takes its name
from the Bavarian capital. Having
paid the good round sum of 36s. 4d for
their afternoon pOtations, they arose to
depart, when the stalwart Pomeranian
exc aimed, "That was, indeed, manly
drink. Waiter, bring us yet a stirrup
cup" Two more seidels were produced
in obedience to his behest, their contents
were subiected to the old familiar pro-
cess, and these mightiest of "cow-swal'
lowers" marched off with equinami'y
apparently unshaken by the Is gallons
or 50 of malt liquor they carried with

Mr.. J. w. Weaver, residing at Frank
linton, near Charlotte, n. c., publishes
the following over his signature in the
columns of the New York HaaH:
Mrs. Martha Smith, of Chatham, re-
ports a remarkable case of suspended
animation, burial and resurrection in
the person of a married lady in that
county who possessed gold watch and
finger-rings which she often expressed
a desire to have buried with her when
ever she should die. Finally she was
taken ill and her life seemed to gradually
cbb away until her attending physician
pronounced it extinct. At burial her
previously expressed desire was complied
with, and the second night after the in
terment white man and a negro went
to the grave and exhumed her for the
purpose of obtaining the buried jewelry.
AS they took the lid off the coffin and
the negro began pulling OF ring from
her finger she raised up. At this both
men took fright and ran away. Finally
the negro went back and she asked him
what he wanted. He told her he wanted
her ring and the white man her watch.
She requested to see the white man,
whom the other soon found and brought
to her. She requested him to 60 home
with her. He did 30, and when she
reached the door she knocked. Her hus-
band opened the door, but tainted when
he saw her, thinking it was his dead
wife's ghost. Mrs. Smith says the lady
is now living and bids fair to attain a
good old age, and that she visits and is
visited by her frequently.
