Power Of q Growing Tree.

Walton Hall had at one time its
own corn mill, and when that incon-
venient necessity no longer existed,
the mill stone was laid by in an or
chard and forgotten. The diameter
of this circular stone measured five
feet and a half, while its depth aver
aged seven inches throughout; its
central hole had q diameter of eleven
inches. BY mere accident some bird
or squirrel had dropped the fruit of
the filbert tree through this on to the
earth, and in 1912 the Seeding was
seen rising up through the unwonted
channel AS its trunk gradually grew
through this aperture and increased,
its power to raise the ponderous mass
of stone was specialized upon by
many. Would the filbert tree die in
the attempts Would it burst the
mill-stonei or would it lift itl in
the end the little filbert tree lifted the
milestone, and by 1868 wore it like a
crinoine about its trunk, and Mr..
Waterton used to sit upon it under
the branching shades.

And in his masterful way he per-
suaded her to acquiesce. The name
of Dion De We're he never mentioned.
Better than Susie he knew that the
man was thoroughly false, and this he
meant to prove to her after his own
considerable and whimsical fashion.
One delightful morning he took her
out for drive, and surprised her by
stopping at wharf beside which an
ocean steamer was lying just ready to
sail.
"a bridal party is going aboard,
Susie" he said. "Do you see the
carriage yonderl'
The girl started and grew slightly
pale as she saw Dion De We're and
dazzling creature walking arm in arm
away from the stylish coach they had
just left,
"They were married yesterday"
explained Mr.. Searles, land will spend
their honeymoon in Europe"
Susie was not entirely unprepared
for this denouement, and her pretty
lip curled just the least bit contempt
uously as her companion turned his
horses head toward home.
A year passed and Susie had anoth-
er suitor--a noble fellow who offered
her wealth of love and charming
home, but these considerations did
not tempt the young lady, who sweet
ly declined the honor with which she
was favored.
my child, you might go further
and fare worse" observed her neigh
Dor, sententiously.
The alley was between them then,
and Susie could afford to be auda-
cious.
"Did you not tell me once that |
could only marry for love!" she ask
ed, smiling into the face among the
oleanders opposite.
81 may have told you that" he re-
turned, his eyes growing bright as the
sun above their window. "And quite
well indeed / remember something
else said. Shall l say it again, Su-
sic 2"
mo, oh no" she laughed, shaking
her pretty head in a manner not dis
couraging.
He fixed one searching look upon
her bright young face, then vanished
from the window and entered her
room.
81 shall allow you to tantalize me
no longer" he declared, clasping both
her hands. "You have learned at
last to love me, have you not ?"
81 could not help it," was the SIM
pie answer, as if apologizing for some
thing very wicked.
81 am glad of that, my wife-to-be,"
he replied, smiling.
But Susie had been Mrs. Searles
for some days before she learned that
the house in which she had lived so
long, as well as half a hundred others,
was the property of her devoted hus-
band-once her bette noire and eccen-
trio neighbor only.

When Wilberforce became rector
of Brightstone, in the Isle of Wight,
he was waited upon by an old farmer,
whose one desire in life was to rent
the glebe acre. "Whyi" asked the
bishop. "Well," said the old fellow,
with look of business shrewdness,
"when 'tother parson was here he used
to farm it hisself, and there being so
little of it he always got in his hay
before anybody else. Then he clap
ped on the prayer for rain"

OUR FOREMOTHERS.
IN the visit Of the century.

Down the vista Of the century,
Through it's dim and shadowy years,
Teemiug with their tolls and struggles,
Joys and SORROWS, hopes and fears,
Come the voice Of noble women,
Who, with fathers, husbands, brothers,
Kept the faith and foughtthe battle
For the right-our brave foremother.
Women who, when freedom fottered,
Shook its chains, defiance hurled;
Twas their hands that lit the beacon,
Theirs the flag Of truth unturled,
Theirs, the fingers swift and skilful,
Spun the fax as white as snow;
wove the cloth that clothed the armies,
Which for freedom struck the blow.
When the clouds Of warfare darkened,
And the country's voc seemed near,
Theirs, the brave hearts, full OF courage,
That the doubling helped to cheer,
Theirs, the heart that true and tender,
Knew no faltering or distrust;
Chsered the hopeless, soothed the weary,
Win their words OF faith ana trust.
II to-day those noble matrons-
Sisters, wives-who sacrificed
All they had for homes and country,
Could from their long sleep arise,
1 can fancy they would calmly,
After their quaint fashion speak
Something to the vain and giddy,
Words Of wisdom TO the weak;
Women OF the nineteenth century,
With your wondrous gifts so rare
Freedom from all old time thralldom;
Freedom now TO do or dare;
Look not on the great worlds conflicts,
Through your curtains filmy Lace
But with hearts and hands be doing
Something to advance the race

The New Arctic ExpeditiOn.

The New York Herald says that
Commander Cheyne Of the British
royal navy, has offered Lieutenant
Schwatka position in the Arctic
expedition to sail from England next
June. He expects also the co-opera-
ton Of Lieut.. Hoogoord Of the royal
Danish navy. who Will accompany it
in the interests Of Denmark. In En-
gland the proposal meets with some
popular favor, and it is intended that
it shall be conducted under private
auspices, and untrammeled by govern
| ment orders. It is proposed, should
the sum of 100000 be secured, to send
a vessel to St. Patrick's bay, where the
Alert Of Mares expedition, wintered,
and from there survey the prospect of
polar sledging by means Of balloons,
! and, if favorable circumstances are
found to exist, it is intended TO attempt
the journey with the assistance of bal
looms. Otherwise, the vessel will
return down Smith sound and enter
Wilton channal by way Lancaster
sound, passing up with the current
that is believed to flow toward the
! north and east, to possible winter quar-
ters in latitude eighty-four degrees
north. From here polar explorations
will be conducted by means Of sledges
and balloons, and upon being released
from ice in the following summer, the
vessel will persue her course toward
the northeast, passing as near the pole
as possible, and probably pass the
second winter near latitude eighty
four degrees north, upon a meridian
further to the east and about due north
of Greenland. The following summer,
upon breaking out from her winter
quarters, she will continue her home
ward voyage to England, passing down
the southerly current between Green
land and Spitzbergen. The plan
seems to be an excellent one, provided,
in the first place, Commander Cheyne
can succeed in placing his vessel at
st. Patrick S bay, or at latitude eighty
four degrees north, by way Of Well
ington channel. But one vessel has
ever yet reached st. Patrick's bay,
and none whatever has reached even
latitude seventy. eight degrees north
by way of Wellington channel.

One Of Napoleon's Veterans.

The Montreal Witness tells Of most
remarkable man at present living in
that city, being no less a person than
one of the Great Napoleon's soldiers.
named Louis Lessard, now over lO3
years old. Mr.. Lessard is well edu-
Gated man, and tells the story of his
life in a manner at once quaint and
interesting. Atan early age he enter
ed the army Of the first Napoleon,
and soon rose to what was then known
as 8 commanding captain He &C
companied the renowned conGueror
in all his principal campaigns, was
present at the battle Of the Pyramids,
Austerlitz and Wagram, and finally
went to Moscow with the 'sGrand
Army of INVASION the defeat and
destruction Of which by the Russians
is so we'll known in history. The
memorable ssretreat - on that occasion
in midwinter, and the sufferings of
the French army. are described by
Mr.. Lessard in vivid language. He
fought his final battle at Waterloo.
Retiring from the army. he settled
down in a country part Of France to
the quiet pursuit Of farming, but
finally came to Canada. He has been in
Montreal forty years. and has taken
considerable interest in the progress
of the country, although never taking
an active part in it's politics. In the
troubles of 1887 he held a commission
in the militia; he can speak with
remarkable accuracy on all the lead
ing incidents of the rebellion. But
perhaps the most remarkable thing is
his memory of the days of Bonaparte,
the incidents of the battles fought,
and the names and appearance OF the
officers commanding. He speaks Of
these as a matter of almost yesterday.
He received silver snuff box from
the hands of Napoleon. He never
during his life used tobacco or spirits
of any kind. He has been twice mar
ried, but has no children, and here
comes what may be called a really
strange episode in this remarkable
history: He married his second wife
only eight months ago. The bride is
a lady of middle age, and the twain
live happily together, and appear to
take the iveliest interest in each
other. Altogether, the story of Mr..
Lessard is replete with interest and
although he is now l03 years old, his
days appear to be no means numbered.
Indeed, he expresses the hope to see
''many good days yet ::

Horses, like many people, can stand

catch cold when in a draughb only a
short time. With proper ventilation,
the doors of the stable should be kept
closed in cold weather that no draughts
may occur.
