tree of life has been Watered by the
tears Of sorrow and fertilized by the
blood of the saints and martyrs of all

One of the Fine Arts.

Conversation is one of the fine arts,
and we venture to assert that it is q
rarer one than music. There can be
found dozen people who can render
a sonata acceptably, who can produce
an average drawing or painting, or
write readable novel, to one who
has the gift, the grace, the supreme
charm of conversation. 1t is the art
of arts. 1t necessarily includes all
others, not in matters Of technical
knowledge, but in their essential ele-
ments. Only true culture-that cul-
ture which is an achievement, not an
external acquirement-can produce
conversation. Talk is cheap, and
largely mechanical, and is of no i'm
portance, save as one of the conve-
niences of existence; but conversation
is gift.

The Nest First.

| had chosen, as if by instinct,
shaded avenue for my stroll, and was
enjoying the little breath of mir that
was playing idly with the dense slug
gish foliage overhead, when | came
unexpectedly upon little cottage
situated little way from the road.
lnvoluntarily ! paused to take in
The pretty picture, and as | stood
leaning against the low fence, |
caught the sound of female voices.
Then discovered that they proceed
ed from small grove at the side Of
the cottage.
There were fourper8onsin the chat
teling group, seated almost out of
sight from where | had first stopped.
There was an elderly lady, and a
young girl Of probably sixteen, and
two young ladies of about eighteen
and twenty-five respectively.
The elder Of the two was blonde,
and though possessed of a fair face
and good figure, | dismissed her from
my scrutiny almost instantly as |
caught sight of the other. This one
was study upon which my mind as
well as my gaze dwelt, to the eXclu-
sion Of the rest of the group.
She was a medium height-she was
the only one of the fair quartet stand
ing-perfect figure, rather inclined to
slenderness, and face that would al
ways command more than a casual
glance.
1t was the work Of but a few mo-
ments to talSea mental picture of this
charming girl, and | also added to
this crime the theft OF a boquet of the
odorous honeysuckle.
Casting a glance at the pretty cot
tage, | saw small piece Of paper
tackled on the Veranda pillar, upon
which | deciphered, with the aid Of a
glass, the following legend, written in
small female hand.

Immediately | wanted to hire that
cottage. Not thatl needed it, or had
any earthly use for it; but a sort of
insane desire seized me to get possess
sion of the nest that held the beauti-
full bird.
| had put my hand upon the gar

ed, lying upon the veranda, a large
Newfoundland dog, who raised his

ligerantly.

Losing a PostOffce.
Detroit Free Press.

In the early days of Michigan, when
many of the postoffices were carried in
the hats of the postmasters, postmaster
in Livingston county was out in the woods
one day and lost several letters from the
hat. A day or two after that a pioneer
named Bailey came to his house and in
quired if there was any mail for him.
'"There was a letter for you, Bill, but
I've lost it," was the reply.
"When?"
"'Tother day in the woods"
well, / want that letter.
But ye can't git it, I'm sorry to I lost
it, but that's all I can do"
"Then I'll have you removed from of
fee. -
''Look-a-here' Bill Bailey" said the Of
fetal as he began to skin off his coat,
II was appointed to hold this postoffice,
and I'm bound to do it. As private citi-
izen have no hard feeling agin you; as
postmaster / lost a letter writ to you by
your sister in York State as a represen-
tative of this great and awful government
I want to say to you that L hear two
more words Of sass from your throat I'll
suppress the instruction by hanging you
to the nearest tree, so help me God sir"
Mr.. Bailey was, however permitted to
make hunt in the woods for his letter,
and he found it, and the Instruction was
suppressed.

consideration of the pension bills. At its
evening session the house passed one pen

Variety i'll Food.
American Agriculturalist.

Often a sickly, waning appetite can be
stimulated by some exceedingly simple
change in the commonest kinds of daily
food. Slices of dry bread are uninviting,
but the same bread, lightly Drowned, with
delicately pOached egg resting on the
crisp toast, becomes altogether another
item in the bill of fare. Cold beef or NUT
ton have become standard dishes for wash
day or other slim dinners; but an accom-
paniment of pickles for the one and jelley
for the other makes all the difference in
the world between tasteful and bald utili-
tartan housekeeping. Oatmeal pOrridge
makes an excellent breakfast dish, yet it
is well to occasionally substitute in it's
place berries or other fruit, or even a
change to pearl hominy, or cracked wheat
or corn meal mush.
I know there are forty different ways to
prepare potatoes, and should not be sur
prised to learn that there may be fifty.
yet how few are the tables especially in
the country, where one sees this vegetable
except in the stereotyped boiled whole
mashed or fried. A great variety of de
lightfull dishes can be made with apples
at all seasons of the year, whether one has
fresh or canned fruit. Breakfast, dinner
or tea need not lack a heafthful relish if
one has a dozen or so of apples within his
reach. [ do not enumerate the host of
what are known as "made dishes" which
can be so easily concocted out Of rem
nants. know it is worth the trouble to
set on the family table, not courses of
elaborate dishes, but a wholesome, agree
able and yet economical diversity of
food.

The house bill granting pensions to the
soldiers and sailors of the Mexican war
was reached on the calendar. An objec-
ton was made by Senator Teller, but on
an appeal to him by Senator Wilson, of
Iowa, and on a statement by Senator

consume more time in discussing the bill,
the objection was withdrawn. The bill
was then considered and passed.
Seator Allison from the committee on
appropriations reported back the sundry
bill, with amendments. Ordered printed.
Senate adjourned.
House-The bill was passed authorizing
the secretary of war to loan tents to the

state veterans association of Ohio, Indi-
ana and Michigan, for reunion purposes.
The house then went into committee of
the whole, Blount, of Georgia, in the
chair, upon the senate amendments to

committee on appropriations recon-
mends that in the amendment relative to

proved of the appropriation of $780,
900 for commencing work on the Henne-

The department of agriculture reports
that the outlook for the cotton crop is
unfavorable. THE average is below that

Nebraska corn is suffering from drought.
The senate, Monday, passed the house
bill granting pensions to soldiers and
sailors of the Mexican war. The bill di-
reefs the secretary of the interior to place

ing officers and enlisted men, including

proved, amounting to $36,537.
ARMY officers are extremely dissatisfied
at the reduction of the mileage from to
cents, which has been made IN the army
appropriation bill. They say that it will
be impossible for them to obey great
many of their orders except at their own
expense, and their Indignation is increas-
ed by the fact that congressman have
made no suggestion of the propriety of
reducing their own mileage from 20 cents
to cents.
