SYMBOLIC FLOWERS.
An Ancient Custom Adopted by Almost
Every Nation.

An Ancient Custom Adopted by Almost
Every Nation.
In all ages and among almost every
people flowers have been adopted as
symbols, types and emblems of human
combination, affection and loyalty.
The reader need scarcely be reminded
of the red and white roses which were
the badges Of Lancastrian and York
rivals TO the English throne. But this
symbolism of flowers dates back TO pc
riods far older than the time Of the
wars of the roses. The ancient nations
had their emblcmatic flowers. The
special flower of the Hindoo, for in
stance, has always been the marigold.
The Chinese display as their national
flower the gorgeous chrysantheAum.
The Assyrians for ages proudly wore
the water-lily; Egyptians delight most
Of all in the heliotrope, though the
papyrus leaf, used by the ancient
Egyptians in place Of paper, may also
be regarded In high sense as the SYM
bolic plant Of the land OF the Nile.
Even the days Of the week, as we use
them now, are named from deties who
had each his special flower: the Sun
Sunday, the sunhower; the Moon
(Monday) the daisy; Tuesday { the god
Tuis' day), the violet; (the god
Woden's day., the blue monkshood;
Thursday (the god Thor's day., the
burdock; Friday (the goddess Of Frea's
day), the orchis; and Saturday (Sat-
urn's day., the horse-tail. We also find
that in our time the sacred days in the
calendar of the English church have all
their flower or plant emblems, the
principal Of which are the holly for
Christmas, the palm for Palm Sunday
and the amaranth for All Saints Day.
Monarchs and nations have often had
their symbolic flowers. The thistle is
the emblem of Scotland and the sham
rock Of Ireland. The feur-de-lis is the
badge of the royal house of France, and
the amaranth Of that of Sweden. The
rose blooms forever on the royal coat
of-arms Of England. -Ezchange.

HEAD AND HEART.

~ Pm head OF the house." said he,
With feeling of manly pride;
For the wants of my family,
Their everyday needs | provides;
And my order must be obeyed
/ As II 'twere the Kings decree,
BY mistress as well as maid;
For "Pm head of the house" said he.
-I call the cook 70 account
II she s given to wasteful ways;
4 And know the exact amount
My wife for each item pays;
settle the bills, and SO
The grocers and butchers you see,
And merchants and milliners know
j am head OF the house." said he.
any domestic affairs all move
Like clock-work, from morn till night
= And that is enough 70 prove
That my way OF doing is right;
Ny subjects obey my laws,
And with my requests agree,
And order prevails because
Q am head Of the house." said he.
The wife, though she did not boast
or any superior skill,
Or claim that she ruled the roost
Or followed her own sweet will,
Was ready to note and quell
Marauding Of maid or mouse,
That every thing there might tell
That she was the heart Of the house.
The comfort OF those around
Was always her daily care;
However narrow the bound
OF home-it was home-like there;
In parlor, In kitchen, or hall,
Wherever she chanced to be,
A beauty was over all,
For tho hsdrt of the house was she.
Another with pomp and pride
May rule, and their scepter sway;
But over the iugle-side
She reigns In n quiet way;
Another may choose TO be
The hcdd-she will not demur:
For the heart of the house IL she,
And that is enough for her.

Mr. Tilden's Will.

Nothing in Mr.. Tilden's history was
more worthy of fame than the disposition
which he made of his immense fortune.
Three years before his death he drew the
will whose contents are now made pub
lie. Three men only were taken into his
confidence and these three are named rs
trustees OF the vast estate which the dead
statesman leaves to be devoted to the
pur poses of public benefit.
Mr.. Tildcn's wealth will not fall below
$1,000, 600, by far the greatest part of
which is safely invested in interest bear
ing securities. OF this amount quarter
is distributed among surviving relatives
for their life use, the principal to revert
to the estate ut their death. The entire
remainder is left to three trustees to be
devoted to public uses. including free
library in the town of his birth and an
other in Yonkers where he died. Fully
four millions are given for bestowal on
objects not specified by the terms of the
will.
Such a public spirited benefaction is
rare. Only one other of the kind is
recorded in America within the past ten
years, when John c. Green, the merchant
prince of New York, left $3,0O0,00O to
trustees with no limitations on its
distribution. Mr.. Tildea's bequcsts
will doubtless be directed in channels
suggested by him before his death, and
it is intimatcd that free public library
for New York city will probably be Sc
lected AS the most fitting public monu-
ment OF the dead millionaire. Such q
library New York does not possess. The
Astor library is restricted to visitors who
can obtain cards of introduction. lhe
Lenox library is practically inaccessible.
The Mercantile can be used only by sub
scribcrs. A free public library like the
great Boston library would be bcncfGc
tion greatly appreciated by the intclli
gent and perpetual monument to the
memory OF its donor.

Mt Russian pretensions. A hundred mem
bers of the premier's league looked for
ward 10 full statement from the tory
leader of the policy which he proposed
to adopt in relation to Ireland's clam TO
self government.
Lord Salisbury, however, seems to have
disappointed expectations. IL was only
after urging that he took up the Irish
question at all, and he LAID it down rs
quickly as possible.
"The old skeleton is still at all the
political feasts," " said his lordship "Thc
sad events of the last few days demon
strate that Ireland is not homogeneous
country As to what is to be done, it is
impossible to say now, more than the
first duty of the government will be TO
devote its whclc energy to free the loyal
people of Ireland from illegal constraint3
and restraints. Every remedy must be
exhausted to allow the Irish people to
earn their own bread unmolcstcd. The
advantage of this government is that we
represent the mandate of the people
against separation The people have
irrevocably so decided. Their motto is
Social Order in Ireland" To maintain
that is our primary duty. / cannot now
give details of the methods we snail pur-
sue nor of the measures we shall enact
in fulfilling this duty. We shall find our
solid support IN the representatives which
your London, my lord mayor. and its su.
burbs have sent to parliament.
Lord Salisbury was not felcitous in his
allusion to the skeleton at the feast" 1t
was u suggestive motto which the an
clients hung over that emblem of NOR
tality, Remember You Must Die" The
Irish skeleton to which the marquis re-
ferred in hushed tones amid the clink of
tory wine glasses at the Mansion House
banquet bears the same warning to the
Salisbury ministry. "rhe Gladstone gov
crnment has gone, split on the rock of at
tempted Irish reform. Remember you,
TOO, a tory administration, must die"
The hint of coming coercion which the
prime minister gave amid the meaning
less platitudes of his speech only en-
phasizes the warming. The present Eng
lish ministry is a rope of SAND. Its con
| tinued existence depends solely upon
liberal support. That support is unatcr-
ably opposed to coercion and pledged to
| liberal concessions in the line of home
rule. The moment it is alienated that
moment the tory ministry must 60 under.
The warning of the skeleton will ring
daily in the ears of Lord Salisbury and
his associates IN Downing street.
1t may not be long before the porten-
! tous warning will reach its fulfilmcnt.
