In gardens poisonous plants are few
in number, and of no great value for
decorative purposes. A very large pro-
portion of the flowers that are in highest
repute for beauty, such as the rose,
dahlia, pelargonium, begonia, wall
flower, stock, carnation and primula,
are altogether harmless, although for
the most part of no value whatever as
articles of food. But as there are so
many decorative plants that will not in
jure, even if eaten, it is easy to exclude
from the garden a certain few that are
uoxious, and that have sometimes been
associated with sad fatalities. The

Canals on the Planet Mars.

A curious discovery. made by Signor
Schiaparelli, Director of the Royal OBJ
servatory at Milan, seems to start again
that old and unanswerable question:
g. Are the planets inhabitedp" This
Italian astronomer is one of the most
assiduous watchers of the planet Mars.
1t was he who, in 1878, first detected
the many dusky bands which traverse
and subdivide the ruddy portions of the
martial orb. Again, in 1879 80, when
the position of the planet was favorable,
he reidentified these strange lines; but
during last January and February he
has been able to observe and map out
in more than twenty instances duplica-
tions of the dark streaks covering the
equatorial region of Mars with mys-
terious network, to which there is moth
ing remotely analogous on the earth"
The Italian astronomer has styled them
canals" for they bear the appearance
of long sea-ways, dug through the
martial continents, as II a mania for
short cuts had seized the inhabitants OF
the planet, and everybody residing there
had become an active NJ. de Lesseps. =

ODE TO A BROOM.

rHpxARcHINa SONG OF THE BROOM BRraApE.
Attbe broom drill in the First Congregation
nc wrtsn tsT' by Miss Alice % Eddy v Were rSsd by
Mrs. II. G. Sheldon:
o, you lasscs of to-day, with your rufies and
with your clear, young, ringing voices, and
eJour fair and clever faces,
You would smile if should tell you that you
When YOU turn away from handling of tho
brooml
Yoncan 'broider dainty gowns till the lads are
And;nfranre your pretty chambers In most
osthetic clutter,
And your rosy lips most oharmingly italian
You are quite above the handling of the
broom.
Ali but when your stately grandmamma was
only pretty Polly,
She could drive your sober grandpa to a state
of widest folly,
with her dimplcd arms a-nying, and her eyes,
Laughing out above the handle of her
~ broom.
With q red and yellow 'kerchief tied about her
And her tuckcd.up, homespun rettlcoat-the
Vloveliest of dresses
He can see her at this moment, and full oft his
That he found her thus, a-handling of her
- y broom.
Der her cheek with every motion, flow tho
red and white, together,
Like the changefu cloud and sunlight in the
simerry April weather,
And the heart of him who watched her hoated
upward like fenther,
Swept away before the magic Of her
broom.
And now, with sweet eyes smiling DER the tops
Growing sweeter, growing fairer, with each
sehappy year that passes,
Though her step indeed, be slower lam sure,
She could match you all in handling of the
broom.
o, you maidens of to-day, you may sport your
f1filmy laces,
You may frizzle clouds of ringlets to set of
- your bonny faces,
You may CLEAN like floating thistle-down with
lapretty, idle graoes,
You may scorn the honest handling of the
Esg broom;
Butyour blossomy sweet beauty will not have
its crowning glory,
Till you learn the truth which, followed, makes
all life happy story,
That in service lies your queenship, and roy
When your pretty hands are busy with the
broom.
Harkl a score of grlish voices, 10 my sage ad-
vice replyingl
How they glow, the winsome faces, laughing
down my foolish sighingl
With their joyous eyes upon me can Imourn
that Time goes flying,
Sweeping old ideas before him with his
broom 2
"whatl" they say, o grave-faced rhymer, is
our glory gone forever2
Borne a-down beneath the weight of years, as
in whelmng river2
But'we know the crown of girlhood will be lost
Eor broken never,
Nor laid by with pretty Polly's worn-out
broom.
"Year by year the same sweet flowers bloom
the same sweet heavens under;
Girlish hearts in all ages are not very far
nsunder; t a4gt
And we think that even grandmamma would
open eyes of wonder,
At the sight, of our maneuvres with the
broom"
Heaven bless the bonny lasses, with the light
of joy upon them.
Hard of heart and slow to mirth must he be
whose eyes could shun them
Let them keep their merry hearts and let NJ
sweet grace be done them.
Tlle'en sit down and watch them ply the
broom.

THE YOUNG ARTIST.

= -. Nettie, Nettier' cried loud, eager
voice, scome on now, / want your
eyes,
And in obedience to this strange call,
little girl about ten years old, answer
ing to the name of Nettie, ran hastily
upstairs to a small room, in which her
brother, Walter, young boy several
years older than herself, stood before
roughly-made easel, on which was
stretched canvas, bearing the outlines
of II face.
Now, sit right there" he said inn
petpousy, pointing to chair, and
seizing an old veil, arranged it artistic
ally about her head. "And please
don'ttalk, but just sit still, and try to
look like the Roman Lady we saw in the
book.n a..s
And obedient little Nettie closed her
lips at once, and opened her dark eyes
very wide, trying her best to look as
she fancied the Roman Lady did when
having her picture taken, and thinking
what a great boy her brother Walter
was to be able to paint such pictures.
Walter had talent for painting and
drawing. but with such small means for
cultivating it that neither his father nor
mother encouraged his efforts, and his
only help and sympathy came from the
little sister who loved him better than
anything in the world, and thought his
paintings perfectly beautiful.
And now, in few weeks, there was
to be an art exhibition in the city, where
any one might place his work on dis
play or for sale; and, inspired by Net
ties urgent encouragement, Walter had
really determined to try his best on a
picture, with the fond but almost de-
spairing hope of selling it for enough
to help him begin the study of painting.
"' You know, Walter" Nettie had
said, God always helps those who
keep trying, and 1 do believe you will
succeed"
So they bad eagerly searched every
picture book for good subject, and
after much discussion selected a pretty
