THE BRAVEsT BATTLE.

The bravest battle that ever was fought
Shall tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will find it not
Twas fought by the mothers of men.
Nay, not with cannon, or battle shot,
With sword, or nobler pen;
Nay, not with eloquent word, or thought,
From mouths OF wonderful hen.
But deep in walled-up woman's heart
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently, bore her part
Lo there is that battle field
No marshaling troup, no bivouac song;
No banner to CLEAN and wavei
But, oh these battles, they last go long
From babyhood to the gravel

That mocks us with our woe.
Oh, some are dear to me

himself upon his bench, and buried his
face in the cushions. His self-composure
had been perfect while his visitor was
present, but now that he was alone, the
contrast between his own lot and that of
Franz occurred to him, with fresh sense
of pain. He was tired and weak, and the
suddenness of the interview had unnamed
him. The sound OF sacred music and of
singing voices was borne in upon him from
the church above his head hung the pict-
ured compassionate face of the Mother of
Sorrows But Wilhelm did not open his
ears-did not lift his head. Franz never
mentioned Gretchen. And II had not
courage to ask when the betrothal cere-
mony would take place"
Still the organ pealed on. To Wilhelm's
excited fancy it seemed like the sound of
marriage music-the music which would
one day sound for the bridal of Franz and
Gretchen.
Gretchen y he cried. Z" Ny Gretchen
Oh. how can bear it?
Presently he grew quieter "What a
coward am p he thought. The English
man spoke of moral victory; be meant, l
suppose, victory over self Ach that is a
hard victoTy-the harder perhaps, because
no one knows and no one praises. But
can bear my pain--I can, and ! will.
Ilefe came TOUCH ON MS dIni- IOoh-
ing up he saw, to his intense surprise, that
Gretchen was kneeling beside him; her
face was lifted to his, tears were in her
bright eyes.
Wilhelm tried to rise, but the OBTAINING
touch was still upon his arm.
THAT it should have needed this y the
girl exclaimed passionately. That it
| should have needed thy suffering-thy
brave surrender of all thy heart held dear
est-to teach me how entirely l loved
thee
Gretchen
The girl rose. She stood before Wilhelm,
more beautiful than he had ever seen her,
a newly revealed tenderness TRANSPORTING
her face
When first heard of Franz's distinc-
TONS she said, +" rejoiced; but when the
whole village blazed up at the tidings,
learned almost TO hate him in my jealousy.
For thought of thee. And it seemed to
me drawer and greater thing to bear
pain and loss, unnoticed and uncomplain-
| ing, for country's sake, than in the heat
and rush of battle to do some deed of des-
perate valor, which should be rewarded by
a lifetime of praise"

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The sen-
ate Committee on Finance to-day re-
ported substitute for the House bill
relating To the taxation of fractional
parts Of gallon of spirits. 1t pro
vides that the tax on such spirits
shall be collected on the whole num-
Der Of guage or wine gallons when be-
low proof, and shall be increased in
proportion for any greater strength
than the strength Of proof spirits, and
II the fractional part of gallon, in any
cask or package, shall exceed one per
cent. OF the contents OF such cask or
package, it shall be taxed as gallon ;
but II such fractional part OF gal
lon shall not exceed one per cent. Of
the contents Of such cask o. package
the fractional part shall not be taxed /;
but in no case shall the exemption
from tax extend 10 more than one
half gallon of the contents of any
cask or package.

WAsHINSToS, Warch 30. Represent
atives Randall, Hewitt, Barnes, Crisp,
Hiscock, Reed and Phelps, constitut-
ing the select Commission on Ordi-
nance and Gunnery, to-day reached a
final unanimous agreement on their
report, and it will be presented to the
House by Chairman Randall. The
commission was appointed July 6,
1884, and has been taking testimony
at different manufacturing points in
the United States and collating and
digesting the facts collected since that
date. The report is accompanied by
a record of the testimony taken, and
says that an examination Of the testi-
mony shows:
First-There cannot to-day be made
in the United States steel gun above
S-inch calibre; and
Second-That various companies are
willing to underta the operations OF
casting forging, rough boring, rough
turning and tempering the parts nee
essary to make guns OF the largest cal
iber, pro vided they receive sufficient
remuneration"
The commission have no hesitation
in recommending that all guns for use
by the army and navy, including
those for notifications, when con-
structed, should be constructed in the
United States
1t is safe to say that the United
States possesses facilities within its
boundaries sufficient to construct all
guns or to finish and assemble all guns
necessary for the proper armament OF
our seaports and vessels Of war, pro-
vided enough money be appropriated
to enable the government to construct
such guns, or else TO enable the man
ufacturer to erect the necessary plant
for the preparation and production OF
the rough material and to obtain
return on their capital, leaving to the
government the finishing and assem-
bling of such parts into guns. Steam
engines suitable for vessels OF war and
iron and steel war vessels can also be
successfully built in this country.
The committee make no recommen-
dations, and say that in matter in
volving such vast expenditures they
prefer to leave the entire subject to
COnOresg.

AN earnest and timely effort is be-
ing made in Massachusetts, to increase
the legal age Of consent for young
girls to eighteen, or, at least, sixteen,
years. The Baptist Ministers's Asso-
citation has joined the following bodies
in petitioning the Legislature to that
effect: The Massachusetts, Woman 8
Temperance Union, the teachers of
the Bowdoin School of Boston, the
National Woman Suffrage Association
of Massachusetts,, the New England
Moral Reform Society, the Moral Edu-
cational Association of Massachusetts,.
The women Of this State should follow
this example and take steps to secure
the passage Of an act next January
raising the age of consent for young
girls TO at least sixteen--we should
say eighteen.

DR. STEPHEN SMITH of New York is
advocating the planting of trees in the
streets Of that city as sanitary meas
ure and means of lowering the tenn
perature in summer. He says that
ian acre Of grass gave the air 6i0a
quarts OF moisture in twehty-fcas'
hours, but trees were even better cool
ers. The old Washington elm at
Cambridge, although not very large,
exposes to the air a surface in leaves
equal to FIVE acres of vegetation. Trees
keep an even temperature of about
$50, while the temperature of an ex-
posed pavement on Fifth avenue on a
hot day had been found as high as
1902. When this test was made a
thermometer in the shade of a tree
near by recorded only 70o."
