Found Her Boys Grave.

A member Of the Sanitary Commits
sion tells in the ChriStiaa Woman the
following moving story of mother s
search. during the late war, for her
only SOD. slain on the battlefield OF
Shiloh. He says that lady from Phil
adelphia searched FOR days over that
wide battle field for the grave of her
only child-a boy of eighteen:
A detail of men was sent from the
regiment to help search for the grave.
The woman WAS CHARTERED on our SAM.
tary boat, and / went with her.
They are all buried side by sido-
all we could ind o; our regiment"
said the sergeant who had charge Of the
squad of men sent ont to help us
Search.
We scattered, keeping in sight of
each ether and in calling distance, and
searched thoroughly. but it was not
until the second day that We found the
grave. 1t WAS the mother who found
1t. The name was written with pencil
on bit OF board ut the head.
She gave Call and waved her hand
kerchief, and then fell Cd her knees
with her arms over the mound of earth
above her child. He was oil she had
on earth, for he was the only son Of his
mother, and she was widow,
AS we gathered about the grave, and
saw her frail form convuleed bv the
sobs of agony she tried to conceal. the
toughest and bravest of the men were
affe cted to tears.
!" He was good soldier-a good
Christian; we had few like him in the
regiment" were the kindly comments
that were made by them.
AS | lifted her away from the grave.
her eyes. though full of tears, eau Chit
sight of passion flower OF the edge of
the mound. She plucked it and took
1t away as keepsake, saying, " God is
good to give me this token of His own
love and passion"
The body was to be taken ND and
placed in the burial case she had
brought for the purpose. They did
not wish her to see it. Officers came
and tried to dissnade her. No. she must
and would see him.
No matter how mangled. T shall
know him; and | must know that il is
my son."
And so she had her way. He was
brought up, and when the blanket.
which was his only colin, was nnrolled,
there ne lay as natural az life. She
clipped few locks from his wealth of
brown hair, and. kneeling by her dead,
thanked God that He had given her
back the body of her son, and for the
nope that animated her that they
should meet again in heaven.

The most reasonable course is that
every one should do his own business

Keep the Old Varieties.

Nurserymen are always greatly inter
ested in favoring the introduction of
new trees, vines, shrubs. and plants
They sound their praises at hOrticul-
tural meetings. They write up their
merits in the newspapers, and display
their pictures in their catalogues and
circulars. They speak and write little,
however, of the merits of any of the
old and well-tried varieties of the arti-
cles they deal in. The reason is obvi-
Gus. There Is no money in handling
or keeping stocks of them. They are
80 common that supply can be OBJ
tanned OF growers in almost any neigh
borhOod and at a merely nominal price
Nurserymen make money by the sale of
new varieties of plants, as dry-goods
merchants do by the sale of new kinds
of cloth and various kinds of finery.
Old varieties, like old styles. are in the
way of selling new ones. Dealers are
accordingly interested in making it
appear that the new varieties of trees,
vines, shrubs, bushes and flowers are
vastly superior to those that have long
been in cultivation. It is true that in
the main there is under the influence of
judicious selection and cultivation q
marked improvement going on in al
NEST all kinds of plants, as there is in
human beings and in the domesticated
animals. But it is also true of plants
as 1t is Of men, that some are produced
far "in advance of their age" 1t is
best to hold fast to these varieties, and
not to give them up because something
appears that is highly promising.
About twenty-five years have passed
since the origin and introduction
of the Wilson New Albany strawberry.
and although hundreds of new varieties
have been introduced since that time it
is still the best kind to plant with u
view to profit. The like is substantially
true of the Concord grape and the Early
Richmond cherry. The Bartlett pear
is good enough to let alone, and SO is
the Red Astraksn apple. There is wis
dom and economy in planting largely
Of old and we'll tried varieties. 1t will
be time to do the like with new varie-
ties when their merits have been gener-
ally acknowledged.

SENTIMENTAL PEopLE.-Oh! how

fortune with neglect. There are your

then the wife cries. "Oh, now, my lord ,
you are too good to say that; if 1 had
not had grain Of feeling, l should
have learnt it from you" And 80 they
go on praising each other; and perhaps
the next morning, when she is getting

woman begs charity OF her. and she
draws up the glass and tells the footman

Cardinal Newman.

Englishmen are proud of John Henry
Newman, though he has turned his back
upon the Established Church and be-
come Roman Catholic cardinal. Mr..
Froude reverentjy speaks Of him in his
famous days when by his rare qualities
of character, his mental vigOr and
moral superiority, he ruled Oxford:
Newman's mind was worldwide.
Nothing was too large for him, nothing
too trivial, if it threw light upon the
central question. what man really was
and what was his destiny.
He was careless about his personal
prospects. He had no an bition to
make II career or to rise to rank and
power. Still less had pleasure any Sc
auctions for him. His natural temper
ament vas bright and light; his senses,
even the commonest, were exception
ally delicate.
He could admire enthusiastically ny
greatness Of action and character, how.
ever remote the sphere of it from hi.
own. Gurwood's Dispatches of the
Duke of Wellington came out Just
then. Newman had been reading the
book, and friend asked him what he
thought of it.
"Think?' he said; cit makes one
burn to have been u soldier!"
He seemed always to be better in.
formed on common topics of cow ersa-
ton than any ono else who was present,
He was never condesceuding with us,
never didaetic or authoritative; but
what be said carried conviction along
with it.
When we were wronO he knew why
we were wrong. and excused our mis-
takes to ourselves while he set us right.
Perhaps his supreme merit as talker
wns that he never tried to be witty or
to say striking things.
Ironicil he could be, but not i'll
natureh. Not malicious anecdoie
was ever heard from him. Prosy he
could not be. He was lighlness itself
the lightness of elastic strengthened
he was interesting because he never
talked for talking's sake, but because
he had something real to say.
