The ring glistcned on the finger of a
washerwoman through the suds in tub,
and thus betrayed secret. The lady
of q certain house in this city had ad-
vertised for a laundrcss TO come TO her
house on certain days. The advertise
ment was responded to by neat, rather
refned-looking woman. When the laun-
dress had begun her work the lady saw
shining on a shapely hand a pretty and
peculiar ring. She requested the priv
ilege of looking at it; the woman hest
tated q moment and then nervously held
out her hand.
"That is class ring" said the lady.

"In what class?"
"The class Of 10"
That ended the interview for the
time, as the lady could by no means gel
from the washerwoman the name Of hor
husband. The lady had been thus un.
ladylike, perhaps, and curious, because
her son wore class-ring exactly like
the one in question, and was graduate
in the class Of 70 at Yale. She told him

4 TrOtier's Drink of Coffee.

Horscmen are talking about Myron
p. Bush's experiment with the trotter
Midnight, that won the $4,000 purse at
Buffalo. The race was for the 2:15
class, mile heats, best three in FIVE, in
harness. SO SO won the first heat in
2.2O IL, but was distanced on the sec.
ond, Midnight winning that heat easily
in 2:l9. Before starting for the third
heat Midnight was strong favorite
over the field. At the word he went TO
the front wildly, and he kept breaking
throughout the heat. Charley Ford
won in Jog in 2:19 IL. This unc1-
pected result demorllized the Midnight
party, who, thinking Midnight out OF
the race, hurried to the pool-boK to
hedge their bets. Mr.. Bush, John
Shaw, of California, and George b.
Alley, of New York, saw that something
was wrong with the horse, aud had his
shoes removed.
"No harm in that, gentlemen" said
Mr.. Bush. "That will help the horse,
no doubt. But in my opinion be is
weak and tired from the effects Of tear
ing his boots off and from cutting or
humping his ankles. / propose that
we give him quart OF coffee. 1t will
stimulate and strengthen him."
The others laughed at the proposition
at first, but Mr.. Bush insisted, and the
coffee was administered. Nj. Shaw
asked Orrin Hickok to drive Midnight,
but he refused, saying: Edwards
knows the horse, and he is the man to
drive him." To the surprise of the
skcptics, Midnight recovered, went off
we'll, and won the heat easily in 2:2O.
Mr.. Bush then had pint more OF
coffee given to Midnight to keep him
in trim for the last heat. From the
word "Go," Midnight drew away to the
lead, coming home fast and strong, and
won the heat and race handsomely in
2:21.
The turfmen present were astonished
at the effect attributed to the doses eli
coffee. Heretofore spirits of wine have
been employed in such cases, but OF
using coffee they had never heard. Own.
ers OF fast trotters in New York Mr..
Vanderbilt, Mr.. Alley, s. +. Dewey, Ed.

among them-say that they will enter
their horses in the temperance society,
and stimulate them hereafter with coffee
instead OF liquor.

Wild Roses In Britain.

We have altogether some five true
wild roses in Britain. The commonest
is the dog-rose, which everybody knows
we'll; and next comes the almost equally
familiar sweet-briar, with its delicately-
scented glandular leaves. Tho burnes-
rose is the parent OF our cultivated
Scotch roses, and the two other native
kinds are comparatively rarc. Double
garden roses are produced from the sin.
gle .fve-petaled wild varieties by max
ing the ttamens (which are the organs
for manufacturing pollen) turn into
bright-colored petals. There is always
more or less OF tendency for stamens
thEs to alter their character; but in a
wild state it never comes to any good,
because such plants can never set seed,
for want of pollen, and so die out in a
single generation. Our gardeners, how
ever, carefully select these distorted in
diUduals, and so at length produce the
large, handsome, barren flowers with
which we are so familiar. The cabbage
and moss roses are monstrous forms
thus bred from the common wild
French roses Of the Mediterranean re-
sion; the China roses are cultivated
abortions from an Asiatic species; and
most Of the other garden varieties are
artificial crosses between these or vari-
ous other kinds, obtained by fertilizine
the seed vessels OF one bush with pollen
taken from tho blossoms Of another of q
different sort. To botanical eye,
double flowers, however large and fine,
are never really beautiful, because they
lack the order and symmetry which ap
pear so conspicuously in the fine petals
the clustered stamans and the regular
etignaa ofthe natural form. = Bslgrap:a

MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
Uudi.ciplincd Tempers.

or all things which are to be met
with here on earth there is nothing
which can give such continual, such
cutting, such useless pain as an un.
disciplined temper.
The touchy and sensitive temper,
which takes ofTense at word; the irri-
table temper, which finds ofrense in
everything, whether intended or not;
tho violent temper, which breaks
through oil bounds of reason when
once reused; the jealous or sullen tenn
per, which wears cloud on the face all
day, and never utters word of com
plant; the discontented temper,
brooding over its own wrongs; the So
we're temper, which always looks at the
worst side of whatever is done; the
willfui temper, which overrides every
scruple to crafty whim-what an
amount of pain have these caused in
the hearts of men, if we could but sum
up their results! How many a soul
have they stirred to evil impulses, how
many prayer have they stihed, how
many an emotion of true affection have
they turned to bitterness How hard they
make all duties. How they kill the
sweetest and warmest Of all domestic
charities Ill-temper is sin, requiring
long and careful discipline. Bishop

A Helping Hand.

The poor give more than the rich.
This proposition holds good as gem
eral principle. Money is by no means
the only thing TO give in this world /;
neither do large gifts necessarily con-
tribute more to the happiness of the re-
ceiver than small gifts. Go into any
country and converse with the people.
Ask who ministers most to their happi-
nese. You will very likely be told OF
some venerated clergyman, whose
salary has never been more than enough
to barely support him; or some poor
widow. who goes from house to house,
like ministering angel, wherever sor-
row and suffering demand coDsolation
and relief. 1t is astonishing ho much
one without money can give. A kind
word, helping hand, the warm sym.
pathy that reioices with those who do
rejoice, and weeps with those who weep
