The Cherokee Rose.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself. An Indian
chief was taken prisoner by his enemies,
the Cherokees, and doomed to torture,
but became so seriously i'll that it be-
came necessary to wait for his restora-
tion to health before committing him to
the fire. And as he lay Frustrated by
the disease in the cabin of the Cherokee
war; or, the daughter of the latter, a
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 flee with him. She consented.
Yet before she had gone far, impelled
by soft regret of leaving home, she
asked permission Of her lover to return
home, for the purpose of bearing away
some memento of it. So, retracing her
footsteps, she broke a twig from the
white rose which climbed up the poles
of her fathers tent, and preserved it
during her flight through the wilder
ness, 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 the

Respect for Parents.
[Doston ,Iournal.l

In this country there is lack of genu-
inc respect for parents on the part of
children. There are thousands of sons
and daughters who will permit their
parents TO suffer in their old age, and
thousands more who are utterly wanting
in decent regard for those who cared for
them in their years of helplessness.
However common this trait may be, it
is most unnatural one. In many cases,
the parents do not possess that deep af-
lection which the Presidents mother
had for "my baby" but this circum-
stance cannot lesson the obligation OF
children to honor their parents and, in
their old age to protect them from want
aud to shield them from adversely. No
generous man will be unkind to his par
ents or permit them to suffer while they
can be relieved by any act of his.
Doubtless somewhat of General Gar
fields success in life was due to the fact
that Games" to use the aged mothers
words, "was always good boy" We
venture to say that he never spoke of
her as the cold woman" that he never
treated her rudely or was ever unmind-
full Of her feelings.
This act of the President is one which
should be made an example to be re-
membered and followed. It should be
made the subject of general comment
and warm approval throughout the land.

Covered With Gold.
from the Chicago Journal

It is curious fact that Russia, one of
the poorest of civilized countries, makes
a greater parade of wealth in one respect
than any other state. The domes of all
the great churches in st. Petersburg,
Moscow, and other large towns, are
plated with gold nearly one-quarter of
an inch thick. The new church of the
Savior represents value of fully S15,-
100000. The Isaac Cathedral in st.
Petersbugh may be safely credited with
at least twice that amount. So strong,
however, is the old Siav belief in the in
violable sanctuary of ''holy places. y
that, during countless seasons Of wide
spread and bitter distress, no attempt
has ever been made 10 plumber the gold
thus temptingly exposed. Indeed, one
of the finest churches in st. Petersburg,
the kazan Cathedral, owes its massive
shrine to the plumber taken by the Cos
sacks in 1872.

SIR JONES AND HIS RIDE.
BY MARGARET VANDERBILT.


Sir Jones he twisted his slight mustache,
And he gazed in the glass with pride,
"And if il were not he said, $50 hot,
would take her this day TO ride;
For she is wealthy and am poor,
And she is fair to see,
And gayly she laughs at my little jokes,
And sweetly she smiles Oh me-"
Sir Jones he pondered in thoughtful mood,
And he gazed III the mirror still,
Till at las. right firmly he upstood,
And he said, ''By ST. George, Will
For she hath tucats and have none,
And she hath 4 house so brave,
While IN this garnet must pine alone,
A -goods-merchants slayew
Sir Jones he hired stately steed,
And buggy both narrow and high,
And he drove to the lady's door with speed,
And waited for her reply;
For it vas a legal holiday,
Yclept the Fourth OF July.
The lady graciousiy said him yea,
And iecked herself in white,
And he iashed the steed and they went with speed,
Until they vera out of sight.
And what he said VIII never be known,
Nor yet what she replied,
But he brought her back on that self-same track,
From 4 very short haf-hours ride.
Sir Jones he gazed from his window high,
And his face Was sad to see,
And he ground his teeth, that Fourth OF July,
Saying, "Curst shall this holiday be!
Yea, ever hsnceforth, this Fourth ofJuly
Shall be blsck-letter day,
For she said me nay, with scorn in her eye,
And for the steed and the tall buggy
Must whole weeks salary pay!"

Instruments having been found in the
