OUR HON e..

Now is the time to begin to clean up
arou nd the premises to remove chip
heaps, ashes, dead vines and flower
stalks, and everything unsightly that
may mar the beauty of your yards and
lawns.
Press the little ones into such service,
a. the exercise and fresh air will brace
them up and impart new elasticity to
imb and spirit after their long winter
seolusion.. Their is nothing that chill
dren like better than great stir and
overhauling Of old things, and they
work on such occasions with the vim
and earnestness of regular farmers over
their gArin fields.
Tell them, too, that they have mo-
tive in view to render their homes
more healthfIl aud attractive, apart
fromQhe consideration OF the enjoy
ment it affords them. Let them pile
up Their little baskets to the brim, even
should it strain muscle now and
again, for they'll be all the better for it,
and have q keener relish for the meal
ahead. Use your garden rake aud your
wheelbarrow for the strong ones, and
deposit all the rotten leaves upon the
garden beds, that are ever ready for such
absorption.
IfyOur house is an old one, and ever
so dilapidated, the greater the necessity
now for vines and flowers 10 hide iGs
many blemishes, and furnish some
thing pleasant and inviting for the eye
to rest upon.
Give your dwelling a neat, comforta-
bic aspect, so that outsiders may at least
have favorable impression Of its in
mates. They may suspect you are poor,
but they will accord to you refined
taste and proper appreciation Of neat
ness and comfort. The vines and fiOw.
ers are a. great an ornament to an old

stanIey's Great WORK in Africa.

Henry NJ. Stanley is returning from Africa
to England, having completed one OF the
greatest civilizing enterprises ever under
taken without war. He has in four years es-
tablshed a continuous chain of commercial
stations extending from the east to the west
coast Of Africa each station thoroughly fur
nished with its central building, its offices
and cottages manned by working forces
provided with arms for use in extremity, and
managed by an agent--all under the flag of
the International African association. There
has been no haste in the work. Stanley's first
return TO Africa, after his rest in England
from the original journey across ''the dark
continent" by way of the before unknown
Congo, was made in 1880, and in that year
he founded Vivi, nearly at the head of steam
navigation from the ocean. Before the third
year was finished, he had established Leo.
poldvile on Stanley pool at the head of tho
lower cataracts, the key of the upper Congo
and had launched four steamers on the great
river. Last December the station of Stanley
Falls, thousand miles up the river, was
founded, and these are the principal centres
of the complete system of communicating
stations which now stretch across the conti-
nent from the mouth of the Congo to the is
land of Zanzibar, in the Indian ocean. Mer-
chants have within six months made the jour
ney from Zanzibar to Leopoldville without
hindranoe. Nearly 5000 miles of navigation
of the Congo and its tributaries have now
been opened to commerce by this chain of
stations, and thousands of miles more are
sure to yield their tribute so soon az the Rsso.

conquest for civilization has never before
been known, and it is a work whose dignity

FROM ILLINOIS.

We are glad to give place to the following
extract from a private letter from Mr.. S. NJ.
Davis, prominent merchant Of Kankakee,
ILL.,, who expresses wish to vote for Geo F.
Edmunds, says he is of "tho same blood"
with the honorable member of the Vermont
Board Of Agriculture from this county and
asks why We don't send that gentleman to the
Chicago convention to help nominate Mr..
Edmunds This suggestion comes too late TO
be of service, but we can assure our Illinois
friend, from personal observation, that his
Wiudham county namesako did good service
in the Montpelier convention in securing the
choice of delegates who will do everything
possible in tho national convention TO give
Illinois and all other Republicans a chance to
vote for Mr. Edmunds next November:
''We are cutting the grass upon our lawns,
and oats are up in some localities dry wealth

The OLD TESTAMENT REVISION ENDED. -
The American Old Testament revision com
mittee, after l2 years of labor, completed its
work April 25th. The last work was the final
revision of the books of Ezekiel and Daniel.
All that remains is to arrange the variations
from the British revsers, to be printed in the
appendix. After the Old Testament revisers
had completed their work, a meeting of the
two committees--the one on the Old and the
other on the New Testament-was held in
Now York delegation consisting of men,
bers of the committee, who expect to be in
Europe the coming summer, was appointed
to attend tho final meeting of the British
committee in London the first week in July.
They are Schaf, Green, Day, Chambers, All
ken and Mead. 1t is now expected that the
revision of tho Old Testament, which requires
much time to be carefully carried through
the press will be given to the public next fall
or the first of next year.

what should be Edmund.
From the N. Y. Herald, April 2s.l

From the n. Y. Herald, April 81
In the tables of delegates elected which
were published yesterday in the Herald the
apparent footings gave Mr.. Edmunds only 4j
votes. That may be correct and it may be
incorrect; nobody can tell exactly how the
vote will stand until the ballot is taken at Chi
cago. There is an old saying that the best
time to bet on an election is after the polls
are closed and the vote is counted. Senator
Edmunds may turn up very much stronger at
Chicago in June than his rivals now think
He is "a good deal of a man"-he has had q
long experience of public life and has shown
conservative and statesmanlike qualities. He
is favorite in New York aud the favorite Of
New England and sensible men in the West
speak of him with confidence and admiration.
We do not advise anybody at this moment to
bet very heavily against Mr.. Edmunds' 3 chanc-
es. Mr.. Roosevelt, who seems to be a pretty
able politician as we'll as a successful reform
er, has taken the Edmunds canvass under his
wing, and Mr.. Roosevelt has accomplished
some things the past winter more unexpected
and more difficult than would be the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Edmunds ut Chicago.
Delegates this year are, as colored gentle
man said of white men in general, "mighty
onsartin." In fact, it is the most puzzlng and
uncertain year the politicians have ever seen.
There is not one OF that tribe who would
think it safe to bet on either nomination or
the election. Many good people think it is
time for the Democrats to "have q chance,
in which case the June nomination at Chicago
will be only source OF fruitless anxiety to
the man who gets it. Still, the Republicans
may pull through il they are shrewd enough
to nominate the right man and when they
assemble at Chicago possibly they will think
Mr.. Edmunds the right man. Who can tell Z
By the way, is it not little imprudent for
the Blaine people to attack the honesty OF
Senator Edmunds? Do they really expect 10
make anybody in this country believe that
Mr. Edmunds is only another Blaine?

Mr.. Roosevelt, who is one of the Edmunds
delegates.at at-large from New York to the Chi
cAgo convention, is one Of the most remarka-
ble young men of his day. Although but 25
years of age he is the leader of the Republi-
cans in the lower house of the New York leg
islature, and has made a record that veter.
an might be proud of. He has introduced and
carried through both houses of the legislature
several bills to reform municipal government
in the city of New York, among others being
those abolishing the fee system for county
officers and depriving tho board of aldermen
of the right to pass on the mayors appoint
ments. Tho bills are all known as the Roose-
welt bills, and young Roosevelt is an object
of intense hatred to the Tammany men and
their "heeers" He is a ready debater, a
fine parlimentarian, and has intellectual en-
dowments of the highest order His career
has been phenomenal, aud ha is the talk OF

Pale ghosts stole on unseen,

But never lip there spoke their names
Never a tear was shed.

Singing tender lay,
But no one needed his sorrowful face,
No one had time to stay.

How could he sing In vhin7
And then the world came to his door,
Bidding him sing again;
But he rocked not whether they came or went,

The crow looked down from his lofty tree,
"'Iis the way Of the world" he said.
There safe a queen by cottage bed,
Spake to the widow there;
DID she not know the same hard blow
The peasant had TO bear7
And she kissed that humble PEASANTS brow,
And then she bent her knee:
God Of the widow, help her now,
