Moral Influence of Flowers.

That the love of flowers is mark of social
improvement no one can for moment gain
say. There is humanizing influence In
associating with flowers that, wherever it
exists, cannot fail to be productive of good.
We were calling on friend, man of high
standing in the medical profession, whose
opinion was always well worth his fee. We
found him just home from hospital meet
ing, agitated and vexed at something that
had gone wrong. He began TO speak, full
of grievance, stopped short after few min
utes, rang the bell and ordered his servant to
bring him jug of cold water and his scissors.
Then spreading newspaper on his table, he
collected all the flowers that we're in the
many vases in his room, cut their stalks,
gave them fresh water and rearranged them.
This done. "There, now," he said, II am all
right now. In the whole pharmacopeia
there's no better medicine for nervous agta-
ton than that, nothing that sooner gets rid
of anger, malice and all uncharitabeness,
with the physical ills that are sure to attend
them, than rearranging cut flowers" And
who that has tried 1t will deny that he was
right?
1t would be interesting 10 test the moral
influence of association with flowers by re-
ference to the statistics of crime. Such re-
ference would naturally support the same
conclusion and if 50, this prevailing taste
for flowers would seem, without doubt, to
merit every encouragement.

A White Race In Africa.

Most people who have read Rider Haggard's
"She" regard the description of great white
race in Africa as the purest fiction, but such
is not the case. South of Timbuctoo and
north of the Kong mountains, in the western
part of Africa, live the Fooahs, the white
race of the dark continent. The people of
this strange tribe have good features, skulls
modelled like white men, and compl, xions
not darker than the average Italian. In the
olden days the Foolahs were slave.traders,
although few of their own number were
transported. However, an unlucky day
came when the genuine white men captured
several hundred Foolahs and transported
them to Louisiana. Then tradition says, the
Creoles refused to believe that the captives
were Africans; so they set them free and
hung the slavers. These Foolahs settled
down in the marshes of Louisiana, and after
awhile became civilized. In that part of the
State, to this day, you will find TALL dark,
rather good-looking white men; who are i'll
dolent and fierce, yet hospitable and musical.
These people are the descendants of the Fool
abs, the slrangest people on the globe.

Composition OF Bridal Wreaths.

The Roman bridal wreath was of verbena,
plucked by the bride herself. Holly wreaths
were sent as tokens of congratuatioD, and
wreaths ofparsely and rue were given under
a belief that they were effectual preservatives
against evil spirits. The hawthorn was the
flower which formed the wre4ihs of Athen-
ian brides. At the present day the bridal
wreath is almost entirely composed of orange
blossoms on background of maidenhair fern,
sprig here and there ofstephanotis blending
its exquisite fragrance. Much uncertainty
exists as to why this blossom has been so
much worn by brides; but the general Opin-
ion seems to be that it was adopted as an
emblem of fruitfulness. The custom of using
orange blossoms at brdals has been traced to
the Saracens, among whom the orange bios
som was regarded as symbol of a prosper
GUS marriage, circumstance which is part
ly to be accounted for by the fact that in the
East the orange tree bears ripe fruit and bios
SONS at the same time.

Couldn't Keen n Secret.

Henry Drayton was always suspicious of
everybody except himself, and his own short
comings he would always lay at the doors of
his neighbors. He once sold an unhappy
looking, cross-eyed pup to one of these
neighbors, miller. who was especially en-
joined to keep the price he paid for 1t a
secret. One rainy day a number of the mil
ler's friends were in the mill teasing tue mil
Ter about the pup, and trying to get him to
commit himself as to the price he paid for it.
Boys" said the miller, II promised to keep
the price private, and can't tell you; but
Drayton is going by now. l will hail him.
and get him to tell you. Halloo, Drayton
How much was it l was to pay you for that
pup"
Twenty shillings, you darned fool, you !
knew you couldn't keep it to yourself, as
have, but would have to 60 right off and tell
everybody of it."

The Demon Collar.

When man has a collar that is too small
for him 1t is almost impossible for him TO get
rid of it. He will lay it aside, and his wife
will put it back in the drawer with the other
collars When he goes off anywhere to re.
main over night, that small, tight collar with
the buzz saw edge is the one that will getinto

the incardined A. NJ. When he returns he
hides the collar away, and after he has for
gotten all about it, his wife finds it and re-
turns it to its original place in the bureau
drawer She will not listen to its being given
away, although it lis useless. The owners
only hope lies in cutting it in half, and, after
the surgical operation in burning 1t to q crisp,
to make sure that 1t will never throttle him
again.

and thought she was beautiful. One evening
they were talking about their respective bet
ter-halves and Brown remarked;
~ say, Jones, think you and married
the two prettiest women in the town."
Jones looked at him in surprise moment,
but he saw he was serious.
"Wel," he replied, cautiously, and with
pride, 81 guess you are about half right, old

Brown didn't see the point until he told

A poor crippled woman, living in tiny
room on the ground floor of dingy house,
could only move on her hands and knees, and
had not stood upright for fifteen years. A
lady, visiting the sufferer, was plying her for
her utter inability to do anything in the
world While she spoke two merry little
children cattered into the room and seated
themselves by the scrap of fire. DO these
little children belong to you ?" asked the
lady

A CI.AMBERED NAUTILUS.

This is the ship of pearl, which, poets feign,
Sails the unshadowed main
The vcnturous bark that filings
On the sweet summer winds its purple1 wings
In CULTS enchanted where the siren sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cod sea maids rise to sun their
streaming hair.
It's webs of livirg gauze no more unfurl
Wrecked in the ship of pearl!
And every chambcred cell
Where its DIM dreaming life was wont to dwell,
AS the frail tenant shaped his growing shell,
Before thee lies revealed
Its irised ceiling rent, its sunless crypt upsealed.
Year nfter year beheld the silent toll
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew,
He left the past years dwelling for the new,
Stole with soft step its shining archway through,
Built up its idle door, 80
Stretched in his last fond home, and knew the
old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message brought by
thee,
Child of the wondering sea,
Cast from her lap fOrOrn,
From thy dead lips clearer note ia born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed hOru!
While on mine ear it rings,
Through the deep caves OF thought | hear a
voice that sings:
Build thee more stately mansions my soul.
AS the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
smut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine Outgrown shell by life's unrest
ing sea!

Supper, or a Book.

Once upon time there lived a little
boy named William Cobbett. He was
only poor boy, and was employed
in wedding and clipping hedges in the
Bishop of Winchester's gardens. One
day a man who had been working in
Kew Gardens, told William how very
beautiful the latter were; and the boy
made up his mind to go to these Won
derful gardens and get work there.
Accordingly, the next morning, Will
liam Cobbett left Farnham, without
saying word to any one. He had
only sixpence-halfpe in his pocket,
yet he started off in good spirits to
find his way to Richmond. He walked
ON bravely, refreshing himself with
bread and cheese, and trudged
through Richmond in the evening with
just threepence in his pocket, with
which he meant to buy some supper.
But as he passed shop he caught
sight of little book for sale for
threepence; he stood still and Won
dered whether he should buy it or
some supper. At last he made up his
mind, paid away his last threepence,
and turned into field and sat down
by haystack to read. He read on
till it was dark, and then slept sound
ly till the birds woke him. AS he
entered Kew Gardens, still reading,
the head gardener saw him, and was
amused at the studious child so scanti-
ly dressed. He began to talk to him,
gave him a breakfast, found him lodg-
ings, and set him TO work. From
that day William Cobbett gradually
made his way till he became noted
character.
He had good abilities, but they
would have profited him little without
q firm determination to educate him.
self, supported by an unhagglng APP
plication. He lived in troublous
times, 1766-1S35, which afforded a
good field for his special talents, and
he cultivated the field diligently.
Much of his after work, chiefly polit-
ical, is marred by blemishes; but a
great deal of it is wholly commend
able. He had a wonderful power of
vigorous expression, which made his
writings readable. He wrote very
extensively. His "English Gram
mar" is clear and interesting. Ten
thousand copies were sold in month.
He also published a "French Gram
mar" "Roman History" and many
other books. When he died he was
