Japanese Flowers.

The peony is the standard of beauty,
as applied to the charms of the fair sex
in Japan. No higher compliment can
can be offered a lady than to compare
her to a peony. The Japanese do not
give a glance and turn away from their
~fayorite flower, but will sit for hours
contemplating q floral display. They
no only give their time to visiting them,
but they appear to indulge in blissful in
toxication of sentiment while they con-
template their beauties. The chrysanthe
mum is also found here in great variety,
and of all shades of color and of enorm-
dimensions. The chrysanthemum
display in Toxic every year is n of
the notable incidents of the season, and
Is visited from far and near. To be de-
prived of this pleasure is n of the
pains of life. The iris is also found in
great profusion, attaining a size and
ETY. of shades and form of flower is
putting it beyond the Boosting of any
other land to equal them. Camellias
attain the dimensions of forest trees,
bearing such a wealth of flowers that
with hesitation one would dare to at
tempt to state, approximately, the thous-
ands that may seen upon one tree. One
could as well number the blossoms on
an apple tree. The harmony of color
that is 10 noticeable in everything the
Japanese make or wear is no doubt the
result of constant association with their
beautiful flowers. There must be a
large sale for the different flowers in
their season, as there are numbers of
plant peddlers constantly perambulat-
ing the streets with different varieties in
pots, or in mat coverings for the protec.
ton of their roots. At night, ali through
the year, there are exposed for sale on
the streets large collections Of plants in
flower. There are no bouquet sellers, mol
are cut flowers offered for sale on the
streets. The great passion appears tt
be to see them growing and attached tc
the mother plant. About the Goth o
April roses are in bloom. The rose ha'
been widely introduced into Japan from
abroad and finds q congenial home here

struggle to get money enough to pay your

and rising to his feet as he spoke. ut is true;
YOU can't deny it. You coat is shabby, you
could not afford a carriage out here this morn
ing and SO you came afoot, you have to deny
yourself a thousand things to keep out of

John Grantley had risen aud taken his hat
from the table. 'Did you send for me to come
from Chicago to tell me thisl" he said.
"Nol 1 sent for you because l want to help
you. For the Lords sake, sit down. Jack
Don't be afraid. l am not going to offer you
a ten-dollar bill or a position in a tea-and.

Partridge's ewes howed itself again. Jack
sat down, but he held his hat in his hand still.
~ don't suppose your position in Chicago is
were offered to youa" said Mr.. Partridge,
putting his hands into his trousers-pocketi
and looking whimsically at his nephew.
"No man in any position ever disdains the
opportunity of lettering it, said Jack.
Every good. What I offer you is a posi-
ton Of trust. 1 believe you are an honest
lawyer-the very rarest bird that fies-and ]

sure. Come to New York, and l will give you
the business of my estate and will speak /,
good word for You among my friends. You
will find that it will repay you, Jack"
For a minute Jack looked steadily at tho
lump Of fast-melting ice in the empty tumbler
Then he held out his hand to his uncle
"Thank you. I will do nv very best for you,'
said he.

A Lonely Death.

He was dying and alone. Not one OF
his kin wa near to render the last sefv--
ices of love to The man whose life had
been a wreck. He was a self-ruined man.
He thought of it bitterly even then, as
he Law under the trees with the blue sky
for a roof and the leaves bending over
him with plying shade; thought of his
wasted opportunities, his blighted facul-
ties, and the shame of this death, like an
outcast or a wounded animal! Burning
with fever, he could not crawl again to
the cool running stream that seemed now
to be purling through his brain. Listen!
Was that his mothers voice? No! twas
only one wild bird calling to another.
His means disturbed the winged crea-
lures about him. D, God! was this what
his a of manhood. had led to-a
lonely death in the woods, with no
kindly hand to close his sightless eyesP
| Where were they all! He called feebly:
ssMotherr!' for his mind wandered. The
sound broke the stiffness of the woods
and a bright-eyed squirrel frolicked down
the tree and looked curiously at the
| dying stranger who was powerless to
J. rm it. He was dreaming now of
l. lc; he thought he was in his own
70 IN under the roof, where the scent of
| the laburnum trees reached him, and his
mother held his hot hand in hers and
smoothed the moist curls from his fore
head; and he could hear the woodpecker
on the roof tap-tap-tap, and thus dream
ing he fell asleep, and slept till the
shadows of night slanted through the
trees, and
In the dim and distant ether
The first star came shining through,
And another-and another
Trembled softly in the blue.
Then he awoke, clear headed, and
with the calm of a great silence about
him; his dim eyes wandered to the stars
Ito the cool blue skies-to the far of
Heaven above, where he knew now his
mother had gone; he was not thirsty,
nor hungry nor suffering any more, and
all the letters of ice and sloth seemed to
have fallen away, and soul and body
alike bathed in the waters of ineffablc
peace; he did not even feel the chill OF
death on hand and heart, and the breath
that f1uttered on his lips was as serene
and painless as the sweet, cool evening
air. What he did feel at the last was a
aress-warm and loving and gentle as
a mothers kiss--the farewell of his las,
friend, who had deserted him for q few
hours to find a mouthful of food. The
faithful dog that through i'll report and
abuse had followed the fortunes of his
master; whose half-human heart wa:
rent now with a dumb sorrow, who al
night long watched there by the silent
form and kept every harmful thing
away.
So they found them-the dead mar
and the dumb watcher; and a few line.

REACHlyG FoR THE BUBBLEs.

Under the shade of tho naples
The boys are playing to-day,
basin of suds between them
And a long-stemmed pipe of clay.
See them blowing the great bright bubbles
Hear them laugh as they float away;
While baby, close by. on his pallet
Seems as eager and happy as they.
See him stretch his tiny fingers,
And reach, as the bubbles fall,
His brown eyes bright and eager
He thinks he can catch them all.
@Baby's eaching for the bubbles"
Cries Charlie, his face aglow,
"He thinks that he could hold them
He's only a bdbU-you know.
All, Charlie, life's full of bubbles
We long for, and reach for, in vain,
And like dear little Baby BrowE-Eyes
We try it again and again.
We are sure ut each grasp we have it,
And reach as we have in the past,
To find, like dear Baby Brown-Eyes,
A bubble, and nothing, at last.

Gently set on fire in q very curious
manner. A wagon loaded with sulphur
was being drawn up an incline, when
the rope supporting it broke, and the
wagon rushed back into the mine at 9
frightful speed. The rapid motion de.
veloped heat enough to set on fire the
highly-combustible ore, and the flames
spread SO quickly through the mine that
thirteen workmen were unable to escape
and thirty or forty others were seriously

Blackberries and Raspberries.

Every one who has gathered wild
blackberries is aware that the stems
grow to the height of six or eight feet,
and gracefully bend yer at the top.
The lower part of the cane bears little or
no fruit, it being nearly all at the top of
the bush. The same happens on a
smaller scale with the raspberry when
left to itself. While we cultivate the
blackberry for the sake of better fruit
than the wild plants usually afford, we
should also endeavor to have more of it,
and more conveniently placed on the
bushes. From questions that are asked,
it is evident that all are not aware that
the stems of the blackberry and raspberry
Cat least those cultivated for fruit) are
only biennial. The plant throws up
from the root, often at some distance
from the old stems, vigorous shoots,
which grow rapidly, and by autumn will
become ripe and hard canes, like the old
ones. The old canes, which have given
a crop of fruit, have completed their
work, and, though they may remain
alive for awhile, will all b, dead
by next spring. When the frait has

tention than they usually receive; if left
to themselves, they will become just
like the wild plants, struggling, and with
their fruit all at the top. Not only on
account of the greater quantity of fruit.
but for the ease in picking it, should've
canes be pruncd. Blackberry canes
should never grow over five feet, and
many prefer to keep them at three feet
high. Whenever the green shoot has
reached the desired height, remove the
top, or growing point, which being
tender, may be pinched off with the
thumb and finger. Soon after this is
done, branches will start along the stem,
and these should also be pinched, the
lower ones when eighteen inches long,
and the upper when twelve inches. BY
a little attention, once a week, or oftener,
giving the needed pinching, the black.
berry, instead of being a long struggling
shrub, catching at the clothing Of al
who approach it, may be brought into
the form of a neat pyramidal bush.
which, the next season, will be loaded
with fruit from bottom to top. The
same treatment may be followed witt
raspberries, which are usually KEEP
shorter. One of the greatest pleasure;
in gardening is found in training ant
shaping plants, and making them grow
as we wish, and in nothing are the
effects of this more strikingly shown
than in the blackberry and raspberry
american Agriculturist.
