the letters to her, occasionally reading
one aloud to her throughout. She
never asked to see them herself, though
often her heart ached for a sight of the

After a time the letters began to

it was not long ere Col. Tracy informed
his ward that Phillip was married.
It was a terrible blow to Marguerite,
whose love for the bright, and handsome
fellow was only less strong and intense
than her indomitable pride. She could

though her heart longed continually for
his presence. Now it seemed he had

But it wa too late now to think of
what might have been, SO she kept on
in her round of social gayeties, trying
to hide her remorse and regret under a

And now she learned something which
she had never before suspected. Col.

rsroxrcArrSa GRASS.

Il appears that the genuine good name OF
the Grass family for innocence and sopri'
ETY. does not extend to all its members.
There is Drunk Grass, so-called by
the Dutch colonists, species OF Melica,
which in some parts of South Africa lin
toxicates" cattle to an alarming extent, aud
the evil is spreading with the increase OF
sheep farming the sheep, we believe,
sorting out the other grasses, while they
totally abstain from this. The account Is
given by DIR. John Shaw, in the Journal OF
the Linnaan Society, vol. IA. In Fri
mems Journal Of Botany, DIR. Hance-a
well.known botsnist resident in China
describes another grass, a new species OF
Stipa from Mongolia, which intoxicates
horses. A French Roman Catholic mis-
sionary and his party, making an excursion
into the Aladian mountains, north OF the
Great Wall, one morning found their
horses dreadfully debauched quite
hors de combat-through partaking freely
of this grass. On appealing to a family eft
Mongols encamped in the neighborhood,
the missionary was told the proper anti
dote was vinegar, followed by broth
made of goats head. No vinegar being
at hand the missionary administered sour
milk as q substitute, while the goats head
was cooking; the broth completed the
cure, and the party returned safe and sober
to Pekin, bringing some of the grass, which
DIR. Hance christened Stipa inebrians. The
intoxication aud poisoning of csttle, horses
and sheep, in California and Nevada, is
said to be caused by some species of the
Pulse family, which is generally thought
to be as harmless as grass.-[Vllla Gard.

TIE BLIND IN FRANCE.

tributes some aid to others, but at least
81, 900 blind are without resource. This is
the picture presented by M. Lavanche
Clarke, who has recently been urging the
amehoration of the lot of the blind. A
society was formed in 1881 to create work.
shops for blind persons, where they might
find the means of existence. A little

several the apprenticeship had already

promises to be particularly fruitful, is the
making of mats and carpet brushes of es.

society has not been able either to admit
them to the school or to create special

Household Hints.

The plaid fannels which are offered at
surprisingly low prices at this season OF
the year make desirable covers for COM
forters. They are SO firm that they do not
need to be tackled very closely, and can be
easily ripped apart and washed when it is
necessary. Although one would prefer to
be engaged in. sewing on muslin and sum-
mer garments, it is nevertheless true
that it is a good time now to con-
slider the needs of another winter.
A frugal housewife of my acquaintance
says that every year about this time she
makes two pairs of sheets. four pairs of
pillowcases, and one or two comforters,
and then she is never in need of these
things, and making so few at time it
does not appear like much of task to re-
plenish her stores. Another feature of this
case might be regarded by some women it
is often far easier to pay for two pairs of
sheets at time than for dozen, the out
lay of money as well as time being of i'm
portance to the great majority of house,
keepers.
An old.fsshioned looking glass, with a
frame of brown wood, was improved the

then to hang at each side of it in graceful
folds; the ends were crossed at the bottom
and fastened with loose knot. and behold
the unsightly frame was hidden, and the
appearance of this necessary article of
furniture was much improved.
A little magnesia and water will some

Charles Mackay.
Miss Louisa M. Alcott prints card in
the Boston papers to "set herself right
on the woman suffrage question. She says
The assertion that suffragists do not care
for children, and prefer notoriety to the
joys of maternity, is so fully contradicted
by the lives of the women who are trying
to make the world safer and better
place for both sons and daughters, that no
defense is needed. Having spent my own
life, from Is to so, loving and laboring for
children, as teacher, nurse, story-teller
and guardian, I know whereof l speak,
and value their respect and con-
fidence so highly that, for their sakes,
If for no other reason, desire them
to know that their old fliend never deserts

this question, every year gives me greater
faith in it, greater hope of its success,
larger charity for those who cannot see its
wisdom, and a more earnest wish to use
what influence I possess for its advance
ment."

So to live is heaven

To make undying music in the world,
Breathing beauteous order tina. controls
With growing sway the growil & life of man.
So we inherit that sweet purity
For which we struggled, failed and agonized
With widening retrospect that bred despair.
Rebellious flesh that would not be subdued,
A vicious parent shaming still its child,
Poor, anxious penitence is quick dissolved;
Its discords, quenched by meeting harmonies,
Die in the large and charitable air;
And all our rarer, better, truer self,
That sobbed reIigiously in vearning song,
That watched to ease the burden of the world,
Laboriously tracing what must be,
And what may yet be better-saw rather
A worthier image for the sanctuary
And shaped it forth before the multitude,
Divinely human, raising worship so
To higher reverence more mixed With love
That better self shall live till human Time
Shall fold its eyelids, and the human sky
Be gathered like scroll within the tomb
Unread forever.

The artic hoke as food for man or

tivated, is one OF the most profitable
crops the farmer can raise. Much
confusion exists IN the minds of ma

two totally. distinct plants known by
the general name of "artichoke." One
is variety of thistle commonly call
ed Globe or English artichoke, and
known to botanists under the name
OF Cynoro ScoLynaus. With this
plant, however, these remarks have
no connection. The other is com>

Mexican, and the common Jerusa-

aud purchasers OF the inferior varie-
ties have been sadly disappointed.
There are, however, two improved
varieties, both Of which are of the
greatest value and will repay the
cultivator. These are the Red Bras
lillian and the improved, large white

the subsequent remarks alone refer.
To avoid disappointment, l would
recommend experimenters to pur>

These artichokes are hardy, vigor-

yielding from 800 to $500 bushels OF
tubers to the acre, according to soil
and culture. They are cultivated in
the same manner as potatoes, only
being much harder, they may be
planted earlier; and the tubers for
seed may be cut much smaller than
potato sets, as an eye or even part OF
