AN EASTER LILY.

had seen her morning after morn
ing, at her stand in the French market
in New Orleans. A girl of about four
teen, whose bright brunette beauty
would have attracted the attention of
any stranger. She was large for her
age. and the charming, speaking face
bore at times all the thoughtfulness of
a woman, mingled with the innocence
of early childhood,
had passed the roses and camellias,
the jessamines and magnolias, all that
wealth of bloom and color which
makes the French market such gorge
GUS picture, when found myself beside
Blanche's basket of vioiets and orange
blossoms. Nothing else-no other in
truding color in the soft purple and
white bouquets which sic had formed
with exquisite taste, and in a variety of
forms. Some were fat, some round,
others cup-shaped and pyramidal, but
in all there was grace and tasteful
arrangement which could be found in
no other stall in the market,
BY dint of frequent pauses at her
stand and daily purchases, the flower
girl and became the best of friends.
There was always bouquet set aside
for me of the finest and freshest flow
ers, even if was hours behind my
usual time. And at last il seemed to
be understood that was never to pass

Peculiarities of Hand-shaking.
London World.

London World.
The differert modes of shaking
hands will delineate human character
better than any other single act can do,
and many peculiarities of different per-
sons may be noted in the performance
of this social custom. Who would ex-
pect to get a handsome donation or
any donation at all-from man who
will. give two fingers to be shaken, and
keeps the others bent as upon an ''itch-
ins palmb" The hand coldly held out
to be shaken and drawn away again as
soon as it decently may be, indicates a
cold, selfish character, while the hand
which seeks yours cordially, and un-
willingly relinquishes its warm clasp,
gives token of warm disposition, and
of heart full of sympathy for human
ity.
How much that is in the heart can be
made to express itself through the
agency of the fingers! Who, having
once experienced it, has ever forgotten
the feeling conveyed by the eloquent
pressure of the hand from dying
friend when the tongue has ceased to
speak? A right hearty grasp Of the
hand indicates warmth and ardor, while
a soft, lax touch, without grasp, in
dicates the opposite characteristics In
the grasp of persons with large hearted
generous minds, there is "whole
soul" expression most refreshing and
acceptable to kindred spirits, but when
a man presents you with a few cold.
clammy lifeless fingers, feeling very
much like dead fish, and expects you
to do all the shaking, it will naturally
make you think of the hospital and other
cheerful things.
Contrary to this style, there is habit
among the rude class of giving your
hand crushing grasp, which is often
most painful. In these cases there may
be great kindness and ''strong" at
lection, but it is as crude as it hearty.
II the grasp is warm, ardent and wig
orous, so is the disposition. If it is
cool, formal, and without emotion, SO
Is the character. If it is magnetic and
animating, the disposition is the same.
As we shake hands so we feel, so we
are.

Poisonous Plants.

There are many plants whose leaves,
flowers and seeds contain virulent poi
sons, which every oae should know, so
as to avoid them and keep children
from them. Buttercups possess pois-
onous property which disappears when
the flowers are dried in hay, no COW
will feed upon them while in blossom.
So caustic are the petals, that they will
sometimes infame the. skin of tender
fingers. Every child should be eau
toned against eating them; indeed, it
is desirable to caution children about
tasting the petals of any flower, or put
ting leaves into their mouths, except
those know to be harmless. The ole,
ander contains a deadly poison in its
leaves and flowers, and is said to be
dangerous plant for the parlor or din
ing room. The flower and berries of
the wild briony possess powerful pur-
gative, and the red berries, which at
tract children, have proved fatal. The
seed of the laburnum and catalpa trees
should be kept from children; and there
is poisonous property in their bark.
The seeds of the yellow and of the

nausea and severe headache. FOOLS
parsley has tuberous roots which have
been mistaken for turnlps, and pro-
duced fatal effect an hour after they
were eaten.
Meadow hemlock is said to be the
hemlock which Socrates drank; it kills
by its intense action upon the nerves,
producing complete insensibility and
palsy Of the arms and legs, and is
most dangerous drug except in skilful
hands. In August it is found in every
field, by seashore and near mountain
tops, in full bloom, and ladies and chill
dren gather its clusters of tiny white
flowers in quantities, without the
least idea of their poisonous qualities.
The water hemlock, or cow-bane, re-
sembles parsnips, and has been eaten
for them with deadly effects. The
water-dropwort resembles celery when
not in flower, and its roots are also
similar to those of the parsnip, but
they contain virulent poison, pro-
ducing commissions which end in death
in short time. The fine tesved water
dropwort and the common dropwort
are also dangerous weeds. The bulbs
of the daffodil were once mistaken tor
leeks and boiled in soup, with disastrous
effects, making the whole household in
tensely nsuseated, and the children did
not recover from their effects for sew
eral days.

Two boats rocked on the river,
In the shadow Of leaf and tree;
One was In love with the harbor;
One was In love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds Of fate outbore,
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river.
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wistfu! eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the billow,
Though sailing fair and feet,
Looks hack to the peaceful river,
To the harbors safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss.grown shaded shore;
One signs that 1t may enter
That harbor never more.
One wearies of the dangers
OF the tempest's rage and wall;
One dreams, amid the lilies,
OF far.off snowy sail.

There's naught 30 true as this:

The Safe Part of q Car.
Merchant Traveller.

A party OF merchant travellers in a
passenger coach were talking over their
travelling experience and the danger of
accidents, and finally the question
arose as to the safest part of the car
Failing to settle the question among
themselves, they called up the conduc-
tor, and one of them asked him: 'sCon-
ductor, we have been discussing the
matter of the safest part of the car,
and want to know your opinion"
"Want to know the safest part, ehP''

over embankments, busted up in tun-

cyclones, run into open switches, and

Mrs. rr.emOnt's Book.
Washington. Letter.


Mrs. Jessie Benton-Fremont, wife of
Gen. John C. Fremont, is one of the
best known and most popular women
In this country. Nearly every winter
she pays a visit to Washington, where
every one who is worth knowing pays
her the most marked attention. She is
in Washington now, and will remain
here for several weeks yet. L called
upon Mrs. Fremont yesterday morning,
and was received by her while she was
engaged in receiving q call from the
favOrite Ieice of her father, the great
Benton, with her vivacious daughter
in-law at her right.
She is now engaged in writing
book, covering her "reminiscences of
the political periods of Benton and
Fremont with notes up to the present
day, for her past relations with promi-
nent political leaders gives her to-day
footing with the leaders of the pres
ent, which her knowledge of politics
and social powers enable her to easily
maintain.
"What will be the title of your book,
Mrs. Fremontp" I asked.
sob, l can hardly say as yet. If 1
could borrow French title 1 should
prefer to call it My Memoirs l in
tend to give fireside study of the po-
litical life of my time. [ hope to make
it something better than mere record
of personal gossip and Renaissance.
You know was with my father when
he was writing his Thirty Years in the
United States Senate, and was the con-
fidant of many of his private papers.
He made his Thirty Years. book much
more comprehensive than he would if
he had been preparing it simply for
public men. But he intended it should
be a political bible; it was especially
prepared for the instruction of young
men just entering politics. This book
has certainly reached the place in pub
lie consideration for which it was orig
Inally intended"
Mrs. Fremont then said: 81 think
there is one thing lacking in the his
tory of our times that adds such full
ness and completeness to French his
torical literature, and that is the lack
of recording the personal observation
and gossip Of a period which is so
fully covered in French by the memoirs
of noted people,,
