the plant" A question which, as yet,
has not been positively settled.
The Dion;ea muscifula is undoubtedly
one of the most curious plants in exist
ence. Whether animal food is necessary
to it's welfare or not, it is extremely in
teresting to watch its movements.
The Venus Fly.trap-or simply Fly
trap, as it is usually called-belongs to
dews, all of which have the tendency to
entrap insects, but not to 80 marked a
degree as the Dionea. The petioles, or
eaf.stalks, are broadly winged. while
the leaf itself consists of two hemisphere.
cal lobes or sections, the edges OF
which are fringed with hair.
Near the center of each half leaf,
on the upper side, are generally three
extremely sensitive bristles, which are
SO arranged that an insect can hardly
traverse the leaf without coming in con-
tact with them. The slightest irritation
of these causes the leaf to close suddenly
like trap, the hairs of the edges inter
i..cing and holding the unwary insect
captive.
The Dion@a can be readily cultivated,
and will be found source of much
pleasure and amusement. 1t should be
planted in peat earth mixed with Sphag-
mum, chopped fine, and some sand, in
small Aower-pots, set in q saucer of wa
ter. During the season of growth the
plants should be watered copiously every
day, and kept moist at all times, though
not deluged. 1t requires but a moder-
ate temperature, and may be successfully
grown in an ordinary living room, pro-
vided the air is not very dry. Ina War
dian case, or under bell glass, there
should be no difficulty to grow it in any
warm room, as the plant needs no sun
and but moderate amount of light. Its
small white flowers are produced on n
slender stem, ten to twelve inches high
but in order to produce strong plants.
the hower.buds should be pinched out as
soon as they appear.-C. r.. Hexamer in
American Garden.

THE OLD LOG CHURCH.
III ylSCHER.

On olden walls, in memory's halls,
With roses round it clinging,
A picture rare of antique air
The old log church is swinging.
OF timbers rough, and guarled and tough,
1t stands in rustic beauty,
A monument To good intent
And loyal, Christian duty.
The forest trees. kissed bv the breeze
0fearly autumn weather,
Stand grimlv bv, and seem to sigh
And bend their boughs together.
Down bv the mil, and up the hill,
And through the hazel thicket,
And DER the mead brown pathways lead
Up to the rustic wicket.
And by these ways, on holy days,
The village folks collected,
And humbly heard the sacred word,
And worshipped unaffected.
Sweet fancy's art and poets heart
Can see the old-time preacher
And village sage now turn the page
As minister or teacher;
For in church, with dreaded birch,
On week days he presided,
In awful men, a tutor seen,
'Twlxt lore and licks DIVIDED.
But where it stood, in dappled wood,
A city sprung to life,
And jolly noise Of barefoot boys
Is lost in business rife.
With years now flown. the children grow,
Were launched on life's mad biliow;
The pretty maid is ma.ron staid,
The masters meath the willows.

Why a Georgia widow Lost Her Reason

There is now living in a county below
Athens a lady who was for many months
deranged from a singular cause. 1t
seems that she hal been married but a
short time when her husband was bitten
by a spider, from the effects Of which he
died and was duly buried. After re-
naming in the ground a short time, it
was decided by his friends to remove the
remains and the grave was accordingly
opened for this purpose. One OF the
resurrectioDists. more inquisitive than
the others, decided to have look ut the
body and removed the coffin lid for that
purpose. You may judge the surprise
and CONSERVATION OF the beholders when
they discovered that the corpse had
turned entirely over and was lying on its
face. There was no othcr sign, however,
that deceased had come to life in his cof-
I'm, and it was agreed TO renter the re-
mains and say nothing about it to any
OF the family. But one OF the number,
however, made il his business to inform
the widow, and it had such an effect
upon her mind that she was raving ma
MAC for many months. -Ashons Banner

What the Ignorant Citizens OF the District
Think OF the Red Sunsets.
The phenomenal redness of the western
horizon at sunset and sunrise has given rise
to superstitous forebodings among the ig-
norant blacks and whites of this city. Tho
comet is also referred to by this class as a
sign of disaster A REPUBLICAN reporter
discovered yesterday that the prevailing idea
among these classes is that those sky sights
are the beginning of the revelations promised
by the Bible.
A group of colored men stood on capitol
street corner last evening and watched the
changing and merging hues in the western
sky which followed sunset. 81 tell yer, gen.
ulmen," said one of them, dat red sky
means sumfin. De gud book sez dat de
world will be burnt up, an Use OBJ de 'pinion
dat de lite we see yonder is de fire a-comin'
from de air. Its bound to reach hyer, an
wen it duz, genulmen, dc fire cumpanies cal't
do no gud."
The crowd agreed fully with the speaker
and remarked that they thought SO too.
Others believed that the gorgeous sunsets
foretell floods, droughts, and epidemics. The
prevailing belief, however, Is that the world.
is rapidly nearing its end. Strange to say,
this is implicitly believed by thousands of
people in this enlightened city.

said, would not fail to come, and even if it
did not, the knowledge of having done good
work in discriminating between righteous

that all good Christians would receive. A

atent sermon. The bishop was heartily VOL
