WORDSWORTH AND HIS SISTER
Dorothy.

DORO 71
From the day che was reunited to her
beloved brother, her one thought had
been how best to foster and develop his
genius. She herself had, as is admitted
by men well able to judge, genius enough
to raise her to high place in literature,
yet she quietly resigned all thought OF dis
tinction for herself, and devoted her life to
smoothing his path. She lived with him
in a spiritual union as close as that of
man and wife, and worked for him like
servant of the good oid-fashioned sort.
She tramped along dirty highways, scaled
rough fell sides, and thought nothing 1T
walking twenty miles at a stretch, and
yet she found time to keep pace with him
in bis mental excursions too. AS writer
in BlackaCood says:-"This union was so
close, that in many instances it becomes
difficult to discern which is the brother
and which the sister. She was part not
only of his life, but of his imagination.
He saw by her, felt through her, at her

gan to thrill, the great melodies awoke.
Her journals are Wordsworth in prose,
just as his poems are Dorothy in verse;"
One of the prettiest bits in her journals
is the description of birch tree: GAS
We went along we we're stopped at once,
at distance of, perhaps, fifty yards from
our favorite birch tree. It was yielding
to gust of wind, with sll its tender
twigs; the sun shone upon it, and it
glanced in the wind like flying SUM-
shiny shower. 1t was tree in shape, with
stem and branches, but it was like O spirit
of water" Lockhart says of these jour-
nails: Few poets ever lived who could
have written description so simple and
original, SO vivid and picturesque. Her
words are scenes and something more"-

THE ENLISTMENT OF LAFAY-
ETTE, 776.

The effect produced by the departure
of Lafayette was of great political i'm
portance. The government, of course,
was extremely angry at the disregard of
its positive commands, and sent vessels
to intercept the fugitive at the West In
dia Islands. The Noailles family, with
the exception of Lafayette's wife, did not
conceal their indignation, regarding the
whole proceeding as foolish in the ex.
treme, and fearing the effects of the gov
ernments vengeance. Many of the no.
bility shared their feelings. GAN Paris"

CLIMBERS AND THEIR USES n

Prof. Bailey writes the Michigan Hor-
ticulturist that climbers are natures dra-
perry. They veneer the most attractive
natural pictures. They also present
many attractive features aside from their
highly decorative habits. We look upon
them as curiosities of nature, since Oar,
win has given us his monumental work
upon their habits and movements. We
think of them, also, as specialized forms
of vegetation, as plants peculiarly adapt
ed to their surrounding tangles, by their
ability to reach sunlight in the face of
great difficulties. Many more plants can
grow upon certain piece Of ground if a
part of them are climbers, than if all
were stiff stemmed. Herein lies natures
purpose in creating the climber. Utility
here, as elsewhere, is apparently the first
object. But the useful has been made
the beautiful. Utility is adorned. Nature
always adorns her most practical ideas.

AN AFFECTIONATE FRIEND

A lady tells this true story of two four
footed vagabonds: "One day at railway
station l met wretched little white cur,
and said Come on, and 1 will give you
something to eat.' We went together into
the dining room and after he had eaten
good meal off he went in a hurry. He
is not very grateful 1 said to my hus-
band. But much to my surprise, in a few
minutes there was a little scratch at the
door, and when it opened, in walked my
small friend, accompanied by more
lean and miserable specimen than him.

troduce my friend Mr.. Black, and il you

to this day; after which they trotted

HEEEFEcr OF SOME DOORS.

The aroma Of red cedar is fatal to
house moths; the aroma OF black walnut
leaves is fatal TO IDEAS. 1t is a matter of
common observation that persons engag-
ed in the business of making shingles
from odorifeTous cypress timber in msla-
rial districts are rarely if ever, affected
by malarial diseases, and that persons
engaged in gathering and distilling tur-
pentine do not suffer from either malarial
diseases or consumption. 1t is said that
when cholera was epidemic in Memphis
Tenn, persons working in livery stables
we're entirely exempt from it. 1t is af-
firned that since the destruction Of the
Glove trees on the Island of Ternate, the
colony has suffered from epidemics I'M

has prevailed in London and in Paris
those engaged in the perfumery factories
have escaped it's ravages.--BOstOn Jour

THE DAY OF THANKS.

With songs approach your God to day.
Ye saints, be swift your vows to pay
And bless the Lord
With one accord.
Whose love the year hath richly crowned
He smiled when winter darkly frowned,
And by his gentle. balmy breath
Woke ice bound nature from her death;
He gave the blossoming of spring.
And babe the birds their carols sing;
Vouchsafed the summers rip'ning heat
And all the fruits that autumn greet.
Then haste to pay,
On this glad cay,
AS well as ye may.
The debt of love to him ye owe,
Who doth unceasing goodness show.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow"
