The QhernkAe Rose.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief of the Seminole tribe was taken
prisoner by his enemies, the Cherokees,
and doomed to torture, but became so
seriously i'll that it became necessary to
wait for his restoration to health before
committing him TO the fire. And as he
lay Frustrated by disease in the cabin of
the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of
the latter, young, dark-faced maid,
was his nurse. She fell in love with the
young chieftain, and, wishing to save
his life urged him to escape, but he
would not do so unless she would fee
with him. She consented. Yet before
she had gone far, impelled by soft re-
greet of leaving home, she asked permis-
sion of her lover to return home, for the
purpose of bearing away some memen-
to of It. So, retracing her footsteps, she
broke a twig from the white rose which
climbed up the poles of her father 5
tent, and preserved it during her flight
through the wilderness, and planted it
by the door of her new home in the land
of the Seminoles. And from that day
this beautiful flower has always been
known between the capes of Florida
and throughout the southern states by
the name of Cherokee rose.

Making Use Of Ores Eyes.

How many of us 20 through life with
out ever realizing that our eyes have to
be educated to see as well as our
tongues to speak. aud that only the barest
outlines of the complex and ever-ehang-
inc images focused on the retina ordi-
narily impress themselves upon the
brainp That the education of the eye
may be brought to a high state OF per-
fection is shown in numerous ways.
There are many delicate processes of
manufacture which depend for their
practical success upon the nice visual
perception of the skilled ARTISAN. who al
most unconscioasly detects variations of
Temperature, color, density, etc, all of
his materials. which are inappfeciable
to the ordinary eye. The hunter, the
mariner, the artist, the scientist, each
needs to educate the eyeto quick action
in his special field of research before ne
can hope to become expert IN IT. Inc
following story, witch is quite apropos,
is related of Agsassiz, and it IS s,llielent-
" characteristic of this remarkably ae-
curate observer to have the merit OF
probability. We are told that once up

Hercules Among the Stu1nns.


While travelling in Michigan we met
Mr.. John Carpenter, with an ordinary
splint market basket upon his arm in
which were his cartridges, like long yell
low colored thick candles about an inch
and half in diameter about dozen in
number, and coil of fuse that looked
like piece of thin twisted wire cord
He had box of gun caps also which
fitted upon the end of the fuse. At a
distance was man who seemed to be
poking around the stumps with a spade,
and who had what appeared to be a
straight iron crowhar with a chisel-
shaped point and broad head on the
other head. After examining the stump
and deciding upon the right place for
the charge to be placed, he sunk this
downIfar into the ground, and then drove
it as deep as he thought necessary in
sloping direction under the stump with
a maui. The rule is to get the charge
as close up to the wood of the stump as
possible, and about the center. This
with his basket and his tamper. He first
found the depth of the hole with the
tamper; then he took the cartridge, and
putting cap on the fuse, sunk it in the
soft explosive, where it remained while he
gently slid the cartridge into the hole,
pushing it to the bottom with the lamp
er. He then pushed two or three small
pieces of mould or earth down to the
cartridge, pressing il. lightly; he next
tamped the hole full of earth, and
lighting the match set the fuse on fire.
We all stood back then about ten rods
and waited for the result. The. stump
was a tough old OAK. tree about three
feet across, with a firm hold on the clay
SOIL and looked as if it might last, If
undisturbed, for the next hundred years.
All at once we saw that stump hump it
self out of the ground, just as boy will
start off a chair when someof his school
mates put tack, point upward, where
no tack should be, puff of smoke fol-
lowed, some splinters and loud sound
as of cracking timber came out of the
center, and from the side where the car
fridge had been put in there was a rush.
of earth, roots of grass sent up into the
air for fifty to seventy feet. The thing
was done. The whole operation was
repeated over and over with the same
results. In less than an hour there were
ten stumps blown up in this way. On
examining the stumps after the explo-
sion we found many of them split in
three or four sections. and SO cut upthat
it was light work for the oxen to haul
them out and draw them to the heap for
burning. The powder had left a holeor
chamber which it had followed out as
if by compression; it was not very deep,
but it afforded room TO get all the roots
which it was necessary to cut off. The
cartridges were in. half pound cuts,
and cost at the rate of fifty cents per
pound. One cartridge viii take out
an ordinary two-feet stump, but when
one of these stiff three to four feet
stumps are encountered from two to
three cartridges are used.

The Good Old Deacon,

The squibs uttered against New Eng
land deacuns have little or no justifica-
ton. Ii a tub Of butter or barrel of ap-
pies is made up of alternate layers OF
good and bad, it is said to be deacon
ed This epithet does not refer to the
character of deacons, but to an old prac-
tice of ''deaconing' hymn.
Fifty or sixty years ago hymn-books
were not SO common as they now are.
Some churches owned only two books.
1t was then the custom for one of the
deacons to read two lines of a hymn,
which the congregation sung. Other
lines were read and sung in the same
way, until the HYMN was sung through.
As a class. deaeons have been the most
trusted and influential men of New Eng
land villages. If a man died leaving
property and family, the deacon was
made one of the executors, and the
guardian of the widow and the father
less If the neighbors had dispute
about property, they cleft it out" to the
deacon. Was a son wayw9rd, the good
deacon was called as frequently as the
good pastor to talk with him.
Elisha Hawley, of Ridgefield, Con-
necticut. was a soldier of the Revolution
and deacon. He was good man OF
business, but be never charged pur-
chaser one cent more than the article
was worth. The golden rule was the
rule of his life.
One day he learned that a widow had
been reduced from competency to pow
erty. He visited her. Fearing lest he
might wound her feelings if he should
offer money or charity, he said,-
MADAM, think / owed your late
husband fifty dollars, and I've come to
pay it to you rs his legal representa-
tive"
.How was thatP" asked the lady.
somewhat startled at this disclosure.

have been looking over the account, and
find that ! rather oyereharged him IN
the Price OF some ehairs-that is, |
could have afforded them at somewhat
less. ] have added up the interest, and
here, madam, is the money"
The tears came into the widow's eyes.
She half suspected the deacon had con-
stfucted the debt by saying that he had
made an oyercEarge. What was she to
dop The money WAS on the table, and
the dtecon had left the house.

yonng lady of this city, occurred at tho
family residence after lingering illness OF

She was afflicted with consumption and

tent her many lovable traits and charac-
teristics. At the time of her death Miss
Haire was in the twenty-fifth year of hel
age.
She had large circle of friends and
acquaintances, who will regret her death
She leaves behind her to mourn her loss a
mother, father. five brothers and four sis
tiers.

Gning Him One Better.

An ingenious tramp, thinking towring
tears and money assistance from the
stoniest hearts with a new scheme gave
it an experimental trial in the north end
He has decided not to patent the inven-
ton. He told north end lady of his
unfortunate condition, and asked if he
might eat some of the grass in the yard.
The lady, not less amused than surprised
said:
Certainly"
He went out, and, getting down on
all fours, commenced on the grass af-
ter the neglected and never popular
fashion of Nebuchadnezzar, and appa-
rently not enjoying the diet any more
than that ancient sinner of olden time.
Presently the tramp's anxious eye
caught sight of the servant-girl beckon-
ing to him from the back yard. He
thought rich reward for his humility
was in store, and instantly responded.
'Did YOU motion to me?' said he.
'.Yes' .
'.What did you want?'' He now wore
a look of most hopeful expectancy.
..You may go into the hack yard if
you want TO. The grass is taller there"
