The Highest Trees Known.

Some of the eucalyptus trees grow to
height of 500 feet, and would cast a
shadow on the summit of the pyramids
or the dome of st. Peters. They were
first discovered and classified by NJ. La
ballardieu, French botanist, just be-
fore the beginning of the present CEN
tury, and have since grown into a re-
nown as wide as that of the giant ce-
dars of California, some of which stood
where they now stand before the He
brew Bible was recorded or the earliest
choric hymns of the Hindoos rose along
the borders of the five rivers. One of
these mighty trees, now hurled down
and stretched along the rock, present
ed, when it stood erect, a height of
more than 490 feet, and, by counting
the annular rings upon section of one
OF It's coevalS, 1t was aScertained that it
was more than four thousand years
old, standing there on its rocky perch
unmindful of the deluges of Deucalion
and Noah, and unshaken amid all the
connections of the globe.
Even this majestic altitude is sur
passed by some of the eucalyptus, which
thus far are the highest trees ever dis
covered; but there is as yet no sufficient
testimony as to their longevity. 1t is,
however, manifestly great, and some of
those which are to be planted here and
there by our compatriots may outlast
the nation, as the chestnut tree of Etna
outlasted Rome, ana the giant palms
beside the Bosphorus have outlasted
the lines of Constantine and Palao-
looms - ByOO6i7J,2 E0OlP

What Made Him Weep.

Apropos of one of the portraits in
the Academy of Music the following
story circulates: A Hungarian peasant
went to Munich painter and asked
him to paint the portrait of his mother.
Certainly" said the painter; '.send
her to me"
..But she is dead, if she was alive l
wouldn't want her portrait.'
'.Well, have you any picture of her."
"No; if | had l wouldn't want one.
"Well, my friend, describe her to me;
what sort of eyes, hair, etc"
He secured that, and appealing to
his artist friends who had some Hun
garian studies, he painted head. Sc
creting his friends about the room he
sent for the peasant The man came,
looked at the picture, his eyes filled
with tears, he put up his hand to wipe
them away.
Poor fellow" said the artist, pat
ting him on the back. 1T is a good
likeness, then, it affects you so much.
No" said the man. "Poor mother,
to think she has been only dead six
months, and looks like that"

What Recompense ?

He might have sung a song the world should
hear
Whose clarion notes had rung so loud and
clear.
That men had listened and been made
The better of the fray,
The mol and care of every day:
stronger to bear the heavy burdens laid
By life on toilers in the onward way;
But fate said nay!
She might have had the right to say my
own"
The joy of being loved she might have known,
Had wrapped around her as shield
From every stinging, poisoned dart
OF envy, hatred, or malicious art
The mantle of a love that would not yield
To any foe, but die to save her heart!
By fate say nay!
She wept her vanished hopes, yet sweeter
trod
The path of self-denial that leads up to God.
He did his work in the small sphere
That God had given him, and Iabored well;
The future world alone can tell
What recompense should come to those who
here
Bow meekly and work on, nor curse the knell
That sounds fate nay,

''chestnuts?" Sorry l am for you, my

Etiquette of Cards.

If the etiquette of cards were known
anywhere in this country it ought to be
in Washington, where official distinc-
tions abound. 1t is etiquette among
Senators to leave off the usual prefix
Mr." on their cards. Mr.. Edmund S
card is simply George F. Edmunds,
Vermont" Senator Vance's 81. B.
Vance, n. c." and so on. Senator In
gals. though, has on his cards, with
grand simplicity, Mr.. Ingalls," There
is but one Mr.. Ingalls,, and he makes
the world acquainted with the fact that
he dwells on this planet in solitary
magniticence. All foreign Ministers,
even the English, have there titles en-
graved in French on their cards. The
custom arises from the fact that the
French language is the diplomatic
language Of Europe.
