W. D. HowELLs.-The popular nov-
elist and poet, w. D. Howells, laid the
foundation of iseducation in country
printing Office. He was born in Ohio,
in the year 1887. His father was editor
and publisher of country newspaper,
and it was at very early age that
young Howells began to set type and
learn the printers trade. Throughout
his boyhood, and in fact until 1859, he
worked in his fathers printing-ofice,
although for two or three years before
that date he had exercised his pen as
legislative reporter, and then as &c news
editor'' of "The Ohio State Journal
at Columbus. What intervals his work
granted him were taken for reading
and, in time, for writing, and the early
fruits of his pen appeared in volume
called " Poems of Two Friends, =" which
was published at Columbus, in Deeem-
ber, 1859. The other writer, who in
deed was the author of the greater
number of the poems, was Mr.. J. J.
Piatt, who has since written many
pleasing verses. These two young
poets had worked together in print
ing Office, where they spent the years
which so many young men waste in
college.

sat rather pale and still through the
uproar, and reading her libretto quite
studiously.
Our hilarity supported us over the
tea-table, and we had separated to dress
for the fancy party, having overcome
Aunt Eunice's objections, when, just
as closed my door, l heard a sudden
little wall from the garden under my
window. Looking out through my
shutter, saw Rosa standing among
the weeds in her sunfower bed, her
hands upon her face, and crying Bit
terly. There were no blossoms on those
two sunfoWer stems. Joe went stalk
ing over toward her. ooh p she said,
looking up, her face lovelier than 1
ever thought it was before, as one last
ray of sunlight played in the streaming
tears, and the fading bushes, and the
shining azure eyes, ''would you have
thought it !? Rivas has taken my sun
flowers that he knew l was nursing so.
He is going to be Apollo, and he says
they suit him so much better, and he
will wear them tonight, and paint
them tomorrow when they begin to
droop, he says, with the kisses of the
of the sun-god. And he picked them

the white arms to Joe.
But Joe was stoutly drawing back.
1 don't know as I want to, y he said.
And then came such another little wall,
and Rosa had turned away, hiding her
face in the hollow of her pretty lifted
elbows.

MEXICAN SOCIETY.

There exists no other society on the
planet, not even in India, where there
is more distinction of caste and class
than there is found in Mexico. On the
gulf coast, by consequence Of the un-
fortunate amalgamation of the white
and the Indian and Chinese and the
black races, there are said to exist at
least half dozen seperate classes of
humanity, of different color, or, at
least, of different characteristics. IL II
the capital such is not the case. There
are Castilians and creoles, or children
of Indian mothers and Spanish fathers
and full-blooded Indians. The creoles
are noted for their intelligence, their
symmetry of form and feature and their
personal courage. Their complexion
may be said to resemble that of the far
famed caballeros of Andalusia. The
males are tall and shapely, while the
ladies are generally very beautiful, are
well-formed, possess delicately-molded
hands and feet, and the most beautiful
eyes of any of the human family. The
bellies of the South of France, of the
mountains and plains of Spain, of the
Sierras and coast of Portugal and the
famous cities of Italy, must yield to
their charming sisters Of the Latin
republics in the beauty, shape, size and
expression of the eyes. They are so
exceedingly expressive, glance from
between their low fringes seems to melt
into the very soul.
The Mexican ladies are exemplary
wives and fond, loving mothers. Their
home to them is their entire world /;
their husbands the idols of their hearts,
while their children are the angels
which make their home their heaven.
Yet, strange to say, there is no word
in the Spanish language that can ex-
press the idea conveyed in our dear old
hearty Angol-Saxon word home" F."
The nearest approach to it is found in
hOgdr, which may be translated
hearth-stone, or simply "hearth. "
Yet, Notwithstanding this, the ties of
family are more binding in Mexican
society than among any other race
under heaven. The repentant outcast
knows that he or she can always return
to the friendly shelter of the family
roof, while the prodigal son invariably
finds the arms of the indulgent and
forgiving parents open to receive him,
for among the Spanish creoles "blood
is thicker than water, +" and tears which
stream from a mothers eyes have often
wiped away the stains of erring
daughters sin. In Latin countries one
false step is not so often followed by a
parents curse, nor the door shut to the
return of one who has in the senseless
parlance of society irretrievably fallen.

oNoRATA RoDIANA

There is very interesting story told
of an artist of Cremona,-Onorata
Rodiana,-whO, while still a young
maiden, acquired such fame as painter
that she was summoned by the ''Tyrant
OF Cremona, to decorate some rooms
in his palace.
One day, as Onorata was mounted on
ladder, working at wall-painting, a
young courtier passing through the
room began to tease her; but, his
banter degenerating into rudeness, she
came down from the ladder and tried
to run away from him. He pursued
her, however, and caught her, when, in
her fright, she drew dagger from her
belt and stabbed him fatally. Seeing
what she had done, and fearing the
wrath of the Marquis Fondolo, she
hastened to put on the disguise of a
boys dress, and fled to the mountains,
She there fell in with band of con-
dottaeri: the life of these men, half
soldier and half brigand in its character,
so fascinated Onorata that she at once
consented to become one of their num-
Der, glad of the chance afforded her to
make herself acquainted with the grand
mountain scenery and the careless
jollity of life in its wilds. She soon
showed so much daring and skill, that
she was made an officer in the band and
held post of command.
When the Tyrant of Cremona''
heard of the affray between the courtier
and the maiden, and of her crime and
fight, he was furious, and threatened
to hunt her to the very death; but so
sklllfully had she concealed her identity
as to battle all his efforts to track her.
After time, as he could find no other
suitable artist to complete the painting
which Onorata Rodiana had begun, he
declared full pardon for her if she
would return to the palace and finish
her work. The news of this pardon
was spread throughout the surrounding
country, and when Onorata heard of it.
she gladly laid aside her sword to re-
sumo her palette and brushes. She
completed her task, but the exciting
life she had led among the mountains
had taken such hold upon her fancy,
that she returned to it and to the out
lawed companions who had learned to
respect and love her.
Again and again she left them, only
to return each time, for her heart and
life were divided between her beloved
art and her romantic soldering. At
last, when her native village of
CasteIleone, near Cremona, was laid
siege to, Onorata led her band to its
relief, and drove away the enemy. But
she rescued her birthplace at the cost
of her life; for she was mortally
wounded in the conflict, and died soon
after, within sight of the home of her
childhood. l believe that she is the
only woman who has ever been success
full as both an artist and soldier and
I am sorry that can find no work of
hers of which a picture may be given
here. Her story is well authenticated
in history, and she died about the year

Lemon CnItnre In Florida.

Florida lemons have not generally
found favor in Eastern markets, owing
to their large, thick skins and inferior
flavor. A few individuals, however,
who believed the soil OF Florida adapted
for the culture of that fruit as well as
oranges, have been experimenting with
lemon seedlings imported from Sicily
and Messina, and planted them, it is
claimed, with perfect success. 4 writer
from Lake POinsett says
1.-THE lemon produced had much
of the size of the old Florida fruit, but
was thin-skinned, of bright golden color,
and juicy beyond comparison. They at
once took rank IN market as the best
lemons that were offered, and commanded
a premium. Sales are reported for GER
tam months of last season at Sl2.2 q
box of 160 lemons. A peculiar fact of
lemon culture is that the imported lemon
can not be raised in Florida from the
seed. Any seed viii do for the stump,
but to produce the perfect fruit the
stump must be budded from the i'm
ported tree. The advantages of lemons
over oranges are that the trees bear
sooner; they bear larger crops, the
fruit ripening continually for eight
months, instead of few months as is the
case with the orange. Another advan-
tage is that the season is longer than the
orange, and the opportunity for market
ing at good figures better.
"Since the culture of the lemon has
become general the F1oridians have
learned the method of preparing the
fruit for the market. The evenness Of
size so notable in a box of foreign
lemons Is secured by the use of a ring
or 'sizer.' On the Mediterranean lemons
are never left on the tree until they get
their color. An attendant goes to each
tree, passes n ring over each lemon, and
when it fits the ring it is clipped and
put in a packing house, where the bright
yellow color is given them by subjecting
them to fumes of sulphur. A packing
house of this sort has been established
by Mr.. Bean, at Jacksonville. He
buys tho lemons when green at about
cent and a half each, gives them the
artificial coloring, and sells them for
handsome advapca
