And valley lilies the sweetest of them all.

All sure of spring and strong of cheer they
And we, who see but SHOWS. we smile and

4 Japanese Sermon.

In Isabella Bird s :. Unbeaten Tracks
in Japan" this sketch of a sermon on
domestic life is given: .dzia s.sr snff
Would you like to know how very di-
verting a sermon in Japan can be made?
The following is a fragment Of a trans
lation of one of considerable length.
The sermon, as is proper, takes text
which is to- be found in the. Chinese
classics: That which is evil, be it but
small, do not. That which is good be
it but small, fail not to dc. - The echoes
OF a thousand puipits are in the open.
ing ssenteilces. es.These worsla,r M
good friends, are found in the section
called Hagen of the Shogaku, which is
so weA known to all of you. Thev are
indeed blessed words, well suited to
our text this evening. These words
are short, but they contain an inva1ria-
BILE lesson Two or three pages of
thoroughly valuable and condensed
moral teachingxfollow. eSounder ethics
on this subject could not be found, and
the terse maxims are Illustrated by an
ecdotes and comparisons leveled to the
capacity Of boor or child. The sermon
concludes with an imaginary dialogue
which can well believe will arrest the
attention of the largest congregation
eyer gathered under one roof in Japan:
A misfortune. may have its origin in a
word. Take as an example the way a
husband calls to his wife, Should rhe
sum mon her with a pleasant: !. Here,
good wife, she will reply with a soft

"Never mind. Graduation Day, well

her purse with a vigorous snap, there

slipped it into her pocket; and then her

Graduation Day was remarkably fair
for March. The school-room was crowd
ed with the. parents and friends of the
pupils. Everybody admired the decor
atoms of evergreens and Towering
plants, which Mr.. Mayberry not only
provided, but assisted in arranging.
Not one of the pupils passed more
creditably through the exercises than
Jennie Mayberry, and certainly not one
looked prettier than she in her modest
gray dress, with a pink bow at her
throat. More than one among the gen.
tleman visitors inquired who that hand
some girl in gray was" And such easy,
charming manners, added some. sand

The music-ssonly Jennie Mayberry' s

liked so well that persistent encore of
the last song brought its repetition
during which Mr.. Mayberry, bearing a
large package, passed slowly up one OF
the crowded aisles to the teachers plat.

eyes turned in expectation toward him
as he carefully unfolded large picture
from its wrappinss..
1t was fine engraving, in a beautiful
frame. "My daughters gift to the
school, in memory of pleasant hours
here passed, I" said Mr.. Mayberry to the
Principal. "a
A complete surprise was this, and
everybody seemed astonished at the
generous gift. In few words Mr..
Mayberry told the story of its purchase.
Then it was hung on the wall back of
the teachers desks. Us
And that Is the way, that the change
in the graduation exercises of the High
School at Mayberry Point was brought
about; and why the pupils wear their
every day dresses, and furnish their
own music, and make the decorations
themselves for that occasion. The rea-
son, too, that there is always such a
large class to graduate . and that there
is less love of dress and finery among
the young people of the place; and such
good books in its school library; and so
many nice pictures on the sehool-room

Astounding Fungi in Nevada Mines.

A GENTLEMAN who recently had oc-
casion to explore the chambers, drifts
andAeaverns of the old deserted Mexicai,
and Ophir mines says that fungi of ev-
cry imaginable kind have taken posses
sion Of the old leyels. | In these old
mines, undist1rbed FOR years, Is found q
fungus world in which are to be seen
counterfeits of almost everything seen
in our daylight world Owing to the
warmth of the old levels and to, the pres,
ence in them of a certain amount Of
moisture, they thnbersH have been made
to grow some curious crops. Some of
the fungi in the old chambers are sew
eral feet in height. and, being snow
white, resemble sheeted ghosts. In
places are what at q little distance ap-
pear to be white owls, and there are
representations of goats with long
boards, all as white as though carved in
the purest marble. The rank fungus
growth has almost. closed some of the
drifts. The. fungi are Of almost every
imaginable variety ~ Some kinds ahany
down from the timbers like great
punches of snow-white hair and others
are great pulpy masses. These last gen.
orally rise from the rock forming the
floor of the drifts and seem to have grown
from something dropped or spilled on the
ground at the time work was in progress
years ago. These growths have in sew
eral places raised from the ground rocks
weighing from ten to fifty and even one
hundred pounds Some of the rocks
have thus been lifted more than three
feet. In the higher levels, where the air
is comparatively dry, the fungi. are less
massive in structure than below and are
much firmer in texture. Some resemble
rams horns, as they grow in spiral or
twisted shape, while others, four OF five
feet in length and about the thickness of
a broom-handle, hang from the cap tim
bers like so many snakes suspended by
the tails. One kind, after sending out a
stem Of the thickness of pencil to, the
length of foot or two, appears to bios
som; at least produces at the end a
bulbous mass that has some Resemblance
to a flower. Inall the infinite variety 81
underground fungi il, is somewhat
strange that not one was. seen at all like
these growing upon the surface IN the
light OF day. Nothing in the nature of
toadstools or mushrooms was found. L

an Irish wake but never was present at
one until last night Arranging my
garb so as not to be too conspicuous I
went with an escort to- the littlesfarm

| The % dead one' was the only son OF a
widow. He had been a. village schools
masterin the neighborhood and fingered
amidst the, evils Of consumption for
twenty years. when that fatal disease
I'terminated in his early death. The
house was composed of two rooms on
the ground floor and two above.o In the
lower ones all arrangements for the
,sawake'' had been perfected. The body
!, was enshroudedo and in a plain pine
coffin. Around the head of the coffin
were a crucifix, print Of s.The Mother
of Sorrow'nand two somewhat long and
hlighted candles, and at the foot but one
candle. BY the side Of the coffin sat the
widowed mother, also a9motherssof soa:-
row. On "a low stool she, sat-. rocking
her bent body to and fro, and alternates

on the sad, white face of iher - darling

After a severely impressive silence had
prevailed for fully . half hour a little
woman Of middle cage. with a deep, dark
pair of eyes and a thin, scrawny face
well marked with the burrows Of frown-

sort of poetry or 'kGning "a dirge-
like, heroic impromptu poem in the
modern Celtic hnguage.rI sought an,
obscure, yet convenient corner. and to
the best OF my ability in phonetic power
Of pencil, took down these sounds.
Later in the evening, as / remained
purposely, I conversed with the little,
old 9k@ner. and found. her extremely,
