Ancient English Oaks.

Among the ancient oaks of England
few are more interesting than the gi-
gantic ruin now standing in an arabic
field on the banks of the Severn, near
Shrewsbury. 1t is the sole remaining
tree of those vast forests which gave
Shrewsbury its Saxon name of Schedules
burgh. The Saxons seized this part of
the country A. ID. 577, when they burnt
the Roman city of Uriconium, where
Wroxeter now stands, four miles from
the village of Cressage; and underneath
this now decrepit dotard it is said that
the earliest Christian missionaries of
those times-and possibly st. Chad him.
self-preached to the heather before
churches had been built. The Cressage
Oak-called by the Saxons Criste-ache
(Christ's Oak)-is probably not less
than fourteen centuries old. The cir
conference of the trunk was about
thirty feet, measured fairly at height
of five feet from the ground; but only
about one-haf of the shell of the hollow
trunk now remains. 1t still bears fif-
teen living branches, each fifteen or six
teen feet in length. A young oak grows
from the center of the hollow.
The noted oaks of England, thanks to
those who have preserved them, thanks
to the universal veneration for timber,
and to stirring and heightened histo-
ry, are innumerable. Windsor Forest
is particularly rich in historic oaks, and
Sherwood Forest, though disafforested,
still contains some memorial timber,
like Needwood, once a crown forest,
now a fine estate of well-farmed land.
Dryden's
:" Three centuries he grows and three he stays.
Supreme in state, and I'm three more decays"
is poetical statement. and some of the
dates ON trees cut down in Sherwood
Forest, and marked 600 years before. in
the time of King John. prove that it is
an underestimate. The great VIM
farthing Oak. in Norfolk, was called the
"Old Oak" in the time of the Conquer
or, and has been supposed to have at
tanned the age of 1900 years. The
King Oak in Windsor Forest is upward
of 1000 years old Gardeners Chron-
icle.

Trixie and Mrs. Roberts.

Mrs. Howe had a caller The callers
name was Mrs. Roberts. Nina showed
her into the parlor, and then went up
stairs to help Mrs. Howe, who was
dressing as fast as she could Trixie
was in mammals room, looking at pict-
ures.
1T is Mrs. Roberts, ma'am," said
Nina.
"Oh. botherr' sighed Mrs. Howe,
she always stays so long, and dinner
will be ready in ten minutes"
Trixie put down her book, and S,av-
ing the room, went slowly down stairs,
and finally stopped at the parlor door,
Magma had often told her not to 60 in
there without permission, but this
naughty little grille dearly loved to
have her own way, and as she stood
there she said to herself: al never saw
that lady before; 1 should fink it would
be more potter if 1 would go and talk
to her till my mamma is coined down."
So in she went. When Mrs. Roberts
saw her she said: "Well, well! whose
little girl is this? Come and sit in my
lap, and give me sweet, sweet kiss.
Now, little pet, what is your name?"
"Trixie, and am four years old next
S'tember.''-
"Dear me, how dreadfully old you
are getting, to be sure! What will you
do when you are four?"
Trixie thought hard for minute, and
then said: 81 finks p'raps will keep a
candy store,-yes, and popcorn, too;
because Dick likes popcorn" she ex-
planned.
"Who is Dick? your canary bird?'
Trixie's brown eyes opened wide, and
such an abused look crept over the 1T
tie face. 81 fink you is not very
good lady to call my Dick canary bird.
/ want to get down"
''Oh, wait a minute" said Mrs.
Roberts, 81 know who Dick is now; he
is your little cousin; his name is Dicky
Bradford, and his mamma lives in the
second house from this one. have Just
called on her."
"Ohr' cried Trixie,, "and did you
st y very long timer"
sob. no, only a little while"
"Is you going to stay a long time
here?''
81 don't know. Do you want me?''
Trixie shook her head most decisive
y.
sis you going to stay to dinner?"
"Not to-day. But why do not you
want me to stay, Trixie?''
Because my mamma does not want
you. When Nina told her you was
coined she said (puckering up her small
face, and looking, oh, so GROSSLY: Dos
ser! she always stays so long, and then
she said somesin about dinner" Trix-
lie looked puzzled for a minute, and
then her face frightened: Il guess it
was thatyou had better not try to stay to
dinner. Oh, here's my mamma! Mann
ma" running to meet her, "Mrs. Rob
erts isn't going to stay to dinner, and
she ism going to stay a long time,
either"
Trixie was quite right. Mrs. Roberts
did not stay long time, but it was a
very long time before she came to see
mamma Chicago Adrance.

quick to learn. obedient, truthful. and
above all, he must be honest Honesty
is the pearl Of great price in boy, as IL
is in man, and no boy is wanted any
where in the wide world outside of the
Penitentiary or State Reform School
who is destitute of this essential quail
fication. The honest boy is certain to
come to the front, and the dishonest boy is
just as sure to take back seat and keep
it through life. The boy isnot wanted
in any establishment who will take a cent
of his employers money, for the boy
who steals cent will by and by steal
dollar, and after that hundred and a
thousand dollars. The honest boy re-
members the couplet his good mother
taught him in the nursery rhyme
To steal a pin.
Every day we read in the newspapers
of men who have gone wrong, become
defaulters, embezzlers, thieves and ras-
Gals. most of whom were probably not
the right sort of boys on the start. They
began by being 'sharp' and dishonest
in little things, and the bad habit grew
upon them until they ended their lives
in the States Prison. a disgrace to them
selves. and burning shame to their
acquaintance.
The boy who is i'wanted'' is the boy
who does not need watching. He is true
to his employer under all circum-
stances, because he is true to himself.
He does not shirk when he is at work
alone out of sight, but does his best, as
if thousand eyes were upon him.
'Poor Richards Almanac says that
'the eye of the master is worth one
servant" by which is meant that hired
men and women as well as boys need
watching.
Boys are "wanted" everywhere
in the fields of the farmer, in the stores
of the merchant, in the banks, at the
hotels, in all the offices, and in every
business place there is room for the
honest, Industrious boy. 1t will not be
long before the boys who are "want-
ed'' in these subordinate capacities, in
which the pay is small and the respon-
sibility slight, will be wanted to
take charge of the immense business
of this Nation, in place of the men
few years more the boys that are
needed to-day to run errands and do
trifiing service, will be wanted in
Congress, for railroad officers, for Gov
errors, for legislators, editors, lawyers,
ministers and merchants, and to take
the responsible places in public and
private affairs, in place of those who
fall out by the way-side as the great
army of humanity advances. The right
kind of boys are wanted" every
where. No others need apply.-Chicago

Passing along the streets of this great,

Petersville, Lewis County, Ky, between
j. E. Lang and Milton Lykins, rival
tobacco-dealers. The. weapons used
were tobacco-sticks four feet long and
three inches in diameter, and the con-
flict lasted seventy minutes, three
rounds being fought. Lang won the
battle, but both men were terribly
punished. After being arrested the
combatants made up and paid their re-
spective fines. The left arm of each of
the contestants was broken, and their
heads were a mass of frightful wounds.

TOO LATE.

Too late. too late! The work Is done,
The deadly mischief wrought;
The evil vast that was begun

Though lodged in sight of all.

To hush that cruel word,
And not single breath of Ill

And peace on earth find sway.

BABY IN CHURCH.

round
Our beautiful baby's face,
Where the dimples play and the laughter
Like sunbeams hid in her violet eyes:
If the day is pleasant and baby is good.
She may go to church and wear her new
Then Ben, aged six, began to tell,
In elder-brotherly way,
How very. very good she must be
If she went to church next day.
He told of the church, the choir and the
And the mar, pin front who talked so loud:
But she must NOT talk. nor laugh, nor sing,
But just sit as quiet as anything.
And so, on a beautiful Sabbath in May,
When the fruit-buds burst into flowers,
rhere wasn't q blossom on bush or tree
So fair as this blossom of oursl.
All In her white dress. dainty and new,
Our baby sat in the family pew.
The grand. sweet music, the reverent air,
The solemn hush and the voice of prayer
Filled all her baby soul with awe,
As she sat in her little place,
And the holy look that the angels wear
Seemed pictured upon her face.
And the sweet words uttered so long ago
Came into my mind with a rhythmic flow.
He,
And knew that He spake of such as she.
The sweetvoiced organ pealed forth again,
The collection-box came round,
And baby dropped her penny in,
And smiled at the chinking sound.
Alone in the choir Aunt Nellie stood,
Waiting the close of the soft prelude,
To begin her solo. Hiyh and strong
She struck the first note, clear and long.
She held 1t, and all were charmed but one.

The audience smiled, the minister cougned,
The little boys in the corner laughed,
The tenOr-man shook like an aspen leaf
And hid his face in his handkerchief.
And poor Aunt Nellie never could tell
How she finished that terrible strain.
But says that nothing on earth would tempt
Her to go through the scene again.
So, we have decided perhaps It's Oest,
For her sake, ours and all the rest,
That we wait. may be, for year or two,
Ere our baby re-enter the family pew.
