REST.

Love came floating DER the waters of life's
calm untroubled sea,
Flashing in the morning sunlight; "Rise,
He said, And follow me-"
Lord, L cried, 1.-THE flowers thou gavest
they are claiming all my care.
Love, l can not rise and leave them never
flowers were half so fair
Then the decoy freshness vanished, and the
fierce IMPLYING heat
Smote upon my tender blossoms; laid them
dying at my feet.
Love came near me, in the shadows of the
evening, cold and gray,
"Let the dead their own dead bury "Rise, ~
He said, And come away"
Lord" cried, "yet still there fingers the
rich perfume of their breath
Though my flowers were fair in living, they
are sweeter still in DEATH
And the evening shadows deepened to the
blackness of the night,
And, the darkness gently piercing, came q
ray of Loves own light.
Lord 1 cried, "oh. take my blossoms, take
my WEAKNESS and pain;
Take my loneliness and longing, only give
me peace again"
Then he drew mech, how gently-to the
shelter of His breast.
Child" He said, 81 take thy sorrow; thou
shalt have thy perfect rest"
Still, have it, passing onward through a
scene, each step more fair;
All my joy in Him is springing, all my glad
ness He doth share.
And though gently, days unfolding some
times pain and sorrow bring,
Yet the Hand, that gives them to me, first
doth rob them of their sting.
-LFrOm Good Words.

An Historic SDOt at auction.

1t is ninety years since the govern
ment purchased Harper's Ferry, and
with it $40 acres of land, from the state
of Virginia, to be used for the manu-
facture of arms. 1t is to be sold at
public auction by the government
shortly. In 1894, during the admins
tration of Gen. Washington, Harper's
Ferry was chosen as the site of ma
tional armory. 1t is said that this selec-
ton was made by the father of his
country, he having visited the place in
person. The water power is immense,
some supposing it to be the finest in
the world. In 1894 congress applied to
the general assembly of Virginia for
permission to buy this property, and
of course permission was granted, but
not to exceed GAO acres. One hun
dred and twenty acres were purchased
from the heirs of Harper A subse-
quent purchase was made of 80 acres
from a Mr.. Rutherford. The govern
ment, desiring to secure the valuable
timber of London Heights, leased in
perpetuity 1896 acres from Lord Fair
fax, Immediately joining Harper's
Ferry. Thus prepared, the govern
ment at once set to work the erection
OF shops. In 1899, during the admins
tration of John Adams, in anticipation
of war with France, the government
organized considerable army for de-
Tense. A portion of the forces was
sent, under Gen. Pinckney, into camp
at this place, and the ridge on which
they were stationed has ever since been
known as Camp Hill. When the war
closed many of the soldiers settled at
this place. The spirits of those buried
there are said to be regular visitors to
the old habitations, causing these
houses to remain tenantless and known
as the haunted houses. The negroes,
who appear to be especially favored
with spiritual manifestations, bear
unanimous testimony to these reports.

CLOUD LAND.

Somewhere, the legends say, there lies land
Older than silent Egypt, whose dim coast
No human foot has trod, no eye has scanned :
Where never mariner was tempest-tossed:
Nor pilgrim Jared along the lonely strand.
And where I'm brimming cistern hyaline,
Flashes.the Fountain of Eternal Youth,
Whereof who drinks shall know not any sign
OF fading cheek or palsy-parched mouth,
Or ages long slow langor and decline.
Some say beyond the sunsets latest ray,
Far down the oceans azure brink 1t lies:
And oftimes have seen at close of day
Strange semblances reflected in the skies,
In cloudy pageant soon dissolved away.
Domes, temples, palaces and misty CLEANS
OF shapes were fair behind thin, purple yeils
Vistas of hills and plains and winding streams,
Dusk forest solitudes and pastoral dales;
Sweet haunts of quietness and pleasant
dreams.
Surely the old belief was not in vain!
There must be ultimate, divine repose,
And love that dieth not and end of pain;
But none have found beyond the twilight's
close
The hidden highway to that dim domain.
Yet the relentless turmoil and unrest,
The Unborn, feverOuS craving and the strife,
The winged spirit, prisoned and oppressed,
Urge us still onward toward the ideal life,
Onward forever in untiring quest.
-lLippincott's Magazine.

The more recent history of the place is
best known. Here John Brown struck
his blow for the freedom of the slaves,
capturing the arsenal on the night of
October 16, 1859, fighting all day on
the 18th, seeing his sons and near
friends shot down about him, and
finally on that evening returning to the
little engine house as last stronghold,
where the forces gathered against him
the next morning, capturing him and
his two remaining men, killing one out
right, wounding the other, and, after
piercing the leader of the band with
their bayonets, reserving him for
the hangman, who did his
work on the following December
2, at Charlestown, turning the
remains over to the sorrowing widow
at Harper's ferry on the same day.
Less than two years later the echo of
John Browns blow was heard at this
very spot, when the arsenal and its val
liable arms and machinery for the man.
ufacture OF more arms, were captured
by the confederates without a blow
The place was recaptured by the union
troops afterward, but not until the more
valuable machinery had been carried
off to Richmond for use by the confed-
crate government in the manufacture
of arms. 1t was recaptured by Stone
wall jackson in 1862, just before the
battle of Antietam, later by the union
forces again. The fortunes of wal left
it wreck; the buildings burned and
demolished and nothing is now left to
remind the visitor of many tragic scenes
enacted there except the foundations of
the old building and the little engine
house where John Brown made his last |
stand, which, by some means, escaped |
the general destruction about it, and |
now stands near the railroad station,

Strange Freak of a Young Girl Who Sought

A wealthy farmer in Rutherford
county, Tenn, not long since was APP
piled to by good-looking lad fol
work, the boy saying that he preferred
to drive harvester or a wagon, or dc
other light work about the farm. The
applicant looked so delicate that the
farmer refused the request, but gave
the lad the name of farmer in an ad.
joining county who wanted a boy tc
milk COWS. The situation was soug ht,
and the lad taken on trial. The two
farmers met few days since in Nash
vile and got to talking about the lad.
Said the employer of the boy: ''He is
the best mixer l ever saw, and can get
more milk from the COWS than anyone
L ever had before him. He attends
strictly to business and suits me first
rate, but [ am afraid he is going to Gre
ate a sensation YETI
Being pressed by his friend, the farm
er was compelled to admit that his wife
had discovered, through the merest &C
cident, that the supposed boy was a
woman. ''When l found it out told
my wife that the girl would have to 90,
as it would never do to have our neig Oh
DORIS know we had a woman parading
around the farm in top boots. My wife
told me she didn't think anybody else
would ever find it out, and it was worth
while taking the chances on it, as the
lad suited us well. / like Geog1e and
took my wife s advice, and | think she
will be able to stay with us and wear
mems clothes as long as she wants to.
''She lived up in Indiana and had not
heard about. Middle Tennessee, where
you could throw your hat on the ripen-
ing wheat and it would bear it up, it
was so thick and strong; so she deter
mined to come down here and get work
on a farm, where she could work in
the open air nearly all the year
round. 1t was then that she
determined to carry out a long
cherished plan--that of assuming the
garb of a man, which added so much to
her independence in seeking a situation.
And you ought to see her-my mixer.
She's dandy, tell you. She weighs
about 40 pounnd, is large for woman,
being about five feet high. Her hair is
black and she parts it on the side and
wears it very short. The has small feet
and hands, and wears kid boots two
sizes too large for her. She has round
face, a roguish twinkle in her large
black eyes, and her coarse shirt is al
ways kept buttoned close around her
neck.
"When tell you she wears wide
coarse straw hat on the back
If her head, and her tight fitting trow-
sers thrust loosely in the tops of her
coarse boots, always has kind word
and joke for everybody, and is very
much liked by my wife, leave you

Size of the Brain IA. -Inin,aIs.
Popular Science Monthly.

opuIdi cSiCliSC -hollIhIJ.
Among mammals we find a still
greater increase in the weight of the
brain as compared with that of the
body. Leuret found it to range in the
monkeys from as l to %, "a and %; in
the dolphin it was as to SO; in the cat
as l to 81; in the rat as 1 to 1870; in the
fox as 1 to POS; in the dog as l to sos;
in the sheep as to 351, in the horse as
l to 700, and in the OK as 1 to $50. The
mean for the class of mammals, eXclu-
sive of man, was as to 1856. My own
observations accord very closely with
those of Leuret. found that in the
prairie wolf the proportion between the
brain and the body was as one to 220;
in the wildcat as 1 to 1853; and in the
rat as to 1872.
If these figures teach anything at all,
it is that there is no definite relation eX-
listing between the intelligence of ami
mails and the absolute or relative size of
the brain. 1t is true that, taking the
data of Leuret as the basis, there is
well defined relation between the men
tai development and the brain, as re-
CARDS the several classes of vertebrate
animals; for in fishes, the lowest, the
brain is but one 5,66Sth part of the
body; in reptiles, the next hi CHEST, it is
one 1,321st part; in birds, next in the
scale, it is one 212th part:
and in mammals, the highest of all,
one 1S6th part, There is, therefore, be-
ginning with the lowest class, regular
ascent in the volume of the brain till it
reaches the maximum in mammals.
