A 1lOYaI Matchmaker.

Queen Victoria is ancxcellcnt match
maker. 1t is announced that the mar
riage of the Princess Victoria to the
Prince Of Anhalt will shortly be cele-
brated, and this reminds one that in
the Queens big family of grandchil-
dren and great grandchildren many are
coming to the marriageable age. Two
of her grandchildren are married. This
will be the third. The future king,
the son Of the Prince Of Wales, is nine
teen, and his brother is eighteen. The
Princess Alice, daughter of the "dead
Princess, living power If that which
lives true life live on" is twenty: Sis
ter is nineteen, and another sister seven
teen; so that Royal matchmaking has
still to be done upon very large scale.
Where to find husbands and wives for
them all Is tho problem. The Queens
family will have tomarry into the house.
hold Of Roman Catholic princess, unless
bley arc tobecome Royal bachelors and
old maids.

MY NIOTHEIs'S HYMN,

Like patient saint of olden time
With lovely face almost divine
SO good, so beautiful and fair,
Her very attitude a prayer;
heard her sing 30 low and sweet,
Ills loving kindncss-oh, how great
Turning beheld the sanity face,
SO full Of trust and patient grace.
"He justly claims a song from me,
His loying kindness-oll, how frco;'
SweetIy thus did run the song,
His loving Kindness" all day long.
Trusting, praising, day by day,
She sang the sweetest rounlelay-
HE near my soul hath always stood,
His loving kindness-oh, how good"
"He safely leads my soul along,
His loving kindness-ol, how strong;'
SO strong to lead her on the way
To that eternal better day.
Where safe at last in that blest home,
All care and weariness are gono,
She ''sings with rapture and surprise
His loving kindness in the skies"

THE PERFECT LOVE.


Twas not when first we wed, my own, my Lowell
Not at the planting of the nuptial tree,
That life with us did smooth and pleasant move
That heart and mind did each with each agree.
Thou hadst thy fancies, whims and stubborn
ways
1, too, from blemish was not wholly free;
Thou look'dst for wisdom in my longer days,
But vainly sought what youth denied to thee.
Yet wandered not our steps too far apart
Nor failed full soon to seek their homeward
way;
Perverse the head, but ever sound the heart,
With plenteous tears to wash all stains away
Our ehildren-ah! what happy omens they,
Angels of peace and harbingers of joy
Turning the cleaning into perfect day,
Parting the virgin gold from base alloy.
In thee, their mother wonderous change was
wrought;
Thy slumbering virtues woke to eager life;
Nobler thy aim, and higher now thy thought:
Unselfish love took root and left no place for
strife.
Our currents mingle in our children's blood;
Our features blend, our dispositions meet
Our thoughts together seek their common good
To lead their steps Alright, together tend our feet
Thus hath the union of thy life with mine
Outgrown the slender bonds of law and vow;
Thus doth the spirit with the form combine
To make all real, earnest lasting, now.
And so, my own, my love! though far from me,
Space hath not power our being to divide
am where thou art; thou art still with me
in form, in spirit ever at my side

Carey's Treachery.

The circumstances surrounding the
assassination of the informer James
Carey show how determined and Bit
ter is the warfare between the Irish
political societies and the British Gov
ernment. When the latter got on the
trail of the Phoenix Park assassins it
pursued them with tireless vigor.
Suddenly and without warning q great
number of persons supposed to be i'm
plicated were arrested, hurried off to
prison, allowed no communication
world. Each suspected the other, and
it was no wonder that the courage of
some of them gave way. If the words
of the man who so suddenly met his
death far off in the southern hemis-
phere are to be believed, every one of
those who had anything to do with the
murder, Brady alone excepted, offered
to turn infOrmer. Perhaps because he
had held a higher position in the Sc
Oughly acquainted with their workings,
the offer of James Carey was accepted.
His confession had put his life in the
hands of the authorities, and the con-
victiOn of his associates was the price
that he had to pay to save it. He did
not simply turn States evidence as the
term is now understood here, where a
criminal who is admitted as such is en-
titled to his pardon whether his testi-
money secures verdict of guilty or
not but he became what is called in
the old law books an "approver," and
as such he was liable to be hanged un-
less his evidence brought about the
conviction of the accused. The temp
tatiOn to swear away another's life is
under such circumstances terribly
strong. and in this State no apprOver
can be- admitted in amy case whatever.
| The position of Carey must have been
terrible one. Essentially coward,
as all his actions showed him, willing
to sacrifice any to save himself, and
yet knowing thoroughly the character
of the men whose friends he was bring
ing to the gallows, and aware that
they would track him to the uttermost
parts of the earth, the agony that he
suffered during these last months must
have made his punishment more severe
than that of his fellows who died OF
the scaffold. When he had done hi.
work and was sent off to South Africa
with such secrecy that scarcely a sin
gle officer of the government save
those Immediately in charge of thu
arrangement knew his route, the ayen
ger of the slain Invincibles started
with him, and with a reckless disregard
of the inevitable consequences to him
self, O'Donnell put an end to that lif
for which Carey had paid so high
price. e.-BdItimOre SuR.

No, sir; I don't believe newspaper men are
more dissipated than any other class of men who
earn their living by their brains" said Mr.. A. H.

who do desk-work are tempted to stimulate, for

Gas for example-g
"As for example, in my own case, stuck to my
desk ON this paper until my nerves were like a
bunch of telegraph wires after a gale, and my
stomach kept about as good time as a two-dollar
watch. My friends suggested this and the doctors
advised that, but one day caught on to an 'ad.
of PARKER's Tonic, and tried it. Ihave never en-
dorsed proprietary medicine before, but I shall
depart from my rule and say that the Tonic is not
merely the best thing, but the only thing that
breaks up these attacks. All desk workers should
make note oft"
This preparation, which has been known as
PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will hereafter be adver-
tised and sold simply under the name of PARKER's
Tonic. As unprincipled dealers are constantly
deceiving their customers by substituting inferior
articles under the name of ginger, and as ginger
Is really an unimportant ingredient, we drop the
misleading word.
There is no change, however in the preparation
itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of
dealers, wrapped under the name of PARKERs

Imported Cabbage Butterfly.

One of the most destructive of insect
pests to the vegetable gardener is the
imported cabbage or turnip butterfly.
This insect, introduced from England,
first appeared at Quebec about the
year 1859. 1t soon began to spread,
diverging along the lines of railroads
into North New England and Upper
Canada. 1t reached Michigan less
than ten years since. Canadian author
tiles some years ago stated that about
Quebec alone this insect had destroyed
annually no less than $240, 900 worth of
cabbage since its appearance in num-
bers. The mature insect is a true but
terfly, belongs to the genus Pieris,
which also includes two native species,
y. OIeraceG and p. PrOtOdice. These in
sects are small white butterflies, meas
uriHg about an inch across the expand
ed wings, or the p. OLerGceG little
smaller. Pieris OlerGced, or the "old
white cabbage butterfly" is entirely
white. 1t does little or no damage, it
being even rare in many or most parts
of the country. Pieris PrOtOdice is
more common. 1t is spotted and ir-
regularly painted with black over the
white under-color. 1t is not a serious
pest.
The imported butterfly can be at
once distinguished by its well-defned
black spots. The male insect has Il
round spot on each of its four wings,
placed two-thirds of the distance from
the body to the end of the wing The
female has two spots on the anterior
wings and one on each of the posterior.
These insects are the common white
butterflies. The larva is the familiar
pale green cabbage worm" The
larya of the "Old spotted cabbage but
terfy" (Pferis PrOtOdice) is blue, strip
ed with yellow.
The cabbage butterflies have two
broOds each season. The first butter
flies appear in early spring aud deposit
their eggs on the under side of the cab,
bage leaves. These soon hatch, and
after the larvae have eaten for two
weeks they assume the chrysalis state
aud come forth as butterflies in june
or July. Eggs are again deposited
the second brood of Larvae entering tbG
head of the cabbage The ehPysalis O
this second brood live over Winter.
When the butterflies are very abund
ant, as they frequently are about larg,
gardens, they may be profitably cap
tured in nets by boys, They are SLOW
fliers, and are easily taken. Anothe
method is to erect benches in the patel
and the chrysalis will be formed OH tn
under side of the boards, from wbenc
they may be destroyed. Those whicI
assume black color, as they frequent
ly do. should not be disturbed, as the
have become the prey of parasite,
The best remedy, however, is probabl
Persian insect powder, or PyretbFan
This powder is not poisonous, but dC
stroys the insect by mechanically stoI
ping up its breathing pores. 1t mu.
touch the insect to KILT. This powde
may be diluted with very fine flour an
busted over the cabbages.

The Season of Sports.

The fondness for certain kinds of
sport seems to be yearly on the i'll
crease in this country. Baseball
matches now draw bigger crowds Of
spectators i'll all the chief cities than
ever before, while the scores of such
contests are looked for with eagerness
in the remotest corners of the land.
In number and prosperity of clubs, in
excellence of play and in the interest
and enthusiasm aroused, this season
has surpassed any of its predecessors.
Baseball may fairly he considered tho
national game of Americans as cricket
is of Englishmen, fer there is now
hardly hamlet in any part of the
United States where boys and men do
not meet in these peaceful Summer
afternoons with ball and bad. TO turn
from sport which is so conspicuously
the pleasure of the masses to one
which is above all others the recreation
of a comparatively limited class, yacht
ing is constantly adding to the number
of its devoted followers. 1t may be
said with confidence that never before
i'm America were there so many yachts
of all classes in commission, and never
before were so many persons gaining
health, vigor and enjoyment in days
and weeks spent on the waves. There
have been no great international
yachting contests this year as in some
previous sersOns, but the number OF
new vessels Duilt and ordered, the i'm:
prOvements In others, the friendly
rivalry as to the speed of the various
craft, both those of the white wings
and those of the big black tunnels,
show that yachting is steadily making
progress.
But the sport which has taken the
longest strides forward this year is
racing. This is true both of trotting
and of thoroughbred racing. In value
of prizes and in extent and variety OF
contests, the Grand circuit-as the
combination of the allied trottinp
tracks is called-will surpass all for.
mer achievements. The increase in
trotting stock and the development oi
speed in recent years have been amaz
ing. Only few years ago the mum.
ber of horses in America able to trot 9
mile In ego could be counted OH the
fingers of one hand, Now they can be
reckoned by dozens. Hundreds o.
horses are driven daily by their owners
on the road at q speed that would have
been thought wholly unatainable on 9
track generation ago.-M y, Tribune,
