Old Fashioned Plants.

Those fnod of the old fashioned garden
flowers can very readily obtain {. good
assortment from seed, to be obtained of
most of the larger seedsmen. A good
way is to SOW them any time during Aug
ust out of doors. A small pinch of seed
will raise quantity of plants. Keep the
soil moist until the young plants are we'll
up; afterwards they are best set in Deeds
four feet in width, the plants in rows six
inches apart. By this means they can be
readily protected during winter, by a.
little loose manure or evergreen boughs,
which, even with the hardiet of them, will
be found beneficial in keeping the foliage
green and vigorous. Early in spring
these plants can be lifted and set out in
to their permanent places in the flower
garden.
Everyone who has the room should have
a border set aside for the cultivation of
the various old hardy plants that used to
delight the hearts of our grandm others.
Of these the following list may be given
as certain to please the most fastidious,
and which contains plants, some of which
will keep open their blossoms, one after
another, from spring until fall. Column
bines, baptiss OF false indigo; the beauti-
full Rocky mountain plant, callirhe; the
cosmos, a fine snowy flower: delphiniums,
particularly formosum, although there
are a number of good kinds, mostly with
blue flowers; the good old sweet William;
some of the Indian piuks make good BIZ
enn:ais; foxgloves, the common and the
white.
French honeysuele: holyhocks, grand
old race of plants easily raised. Of all
colors; everlasting peas, two kinds. one
with purple, one with white flowers: scar
let lychnis, useful old plant; evening
primroses, mostly yellow flowers, but
curiously conspicuous toward evening;
the beautiful family of phloxes, as hardy
as oaks, and colors very varied. The
potentilias are good, as are the perennial
peoples. The rockets Or danes violets
with purple and white flowers.

think you will enjoy the following
title story, with the characters in which
am acquainted, says writer in the
Philadelphia Times:
Bessie is the one little tot in an other
wise grown-up family, and consequently
great pet, and accustome to much atten
ton. Her older sister, Margaret, was
about to be married and the family were
all occupied in preparations for the
wedding. Bessie came one day bearing
tenderly in her arms a naked and forlorn-
looking rag doll, and asked her sister to
dress it for her.
$50 away, Bessie" said her mother,
margaret is busy. Bessie, she is going to
be married and go away, SO she can not
dress any more dolls for you"
The evening of the marriage arrived and
Bessie was seated in the front pew at
church with her parents.
Presently the minister asked if anyone
in the church had cause to forbid the
marriage. To the utter CONSERVATION of
all the people, Bessie got up on the seat,
raised herself to dignity of her full height,
and said distinctly:
"Me does. Tause me wants Margaret to
tay at home and dwess my dolly" Then
the bravely sat down. and the ceremonies
proceeded amid the Smiles of the bridal
party and guests. A day or two after the
wedding Bessie received by Express from
her new brother most beautiful doll, and
with it came an elaborate wardrobe.

Mistaken Identity.
Savannah News.

remarkable case of mistaken idept-
ity has come to light in Raleigh b, n c., and
will form a topic of conversation for
in this country.
Thirteen years ago, in Raleigh, Scott
ParJin murdered his wife and Guild, and
succeeded in eyading arrest. Recently a
man bearing a striking resemblance to
Partin made his appearance in Raleigh.
and was promptly arrested tor the crime.
The authorities did not doubt for a mo-
ment bus that they had the right man, for
not only was he very much like Partin in
appearance, but he had body marks SINH
lar to those which Partin had, and, as in
the case OF the latter, one of his fingers
had been cut off.
Matters looked very gloomy for the
prisoner. He wrote TO his sister in EGG
land, telling Of his arrest, and evidence is
said TO have keen gathered which will
show cOnclusively that he is Robert Giee-
son Porter, OF South ireland, who came
to this country in 1873. 4 part of the
evidence to be offered consists of a letter
written by Porter TO a relative in ireland
and dated at q town several hundred miles
from Raleigh on the day the murder was
committed. English authorities have in
vestigated the matter very thoroughly.
and the document which has been posted
to America will probably cause Porter's
release. Cases of mistaken identity are
quite numerous, but it is not ofte2 that a
man comes as near being hanged for the
henious crime of another as Porter.

QUICK TEMPERED PEOPLE.
A Magazine Writer Does Not Like Passionate
Persons.


A matter not worthy of remark is the
almost universal claim laid to that sup
posed to be unde sirable possession, e
quick temper. 81 have a frightfully
quick temper" is an assertion often made
without any sign of regret, rather with
evident self-oomplacency. And how often,
when, with the intention of saying some
thing pleasing, we remark upon friends
disposition TO the friend in person, are
we net with the reply: ooh, you're quite
mistaken; I'm one of the quickest tenn
pered people in the world!' given in q
tone that imply modest depreciation of a
com pliment, but decided sense OF I'M
appreciated merit.
Now this NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. it may
even without exaggeration be called-to
be convicted of what is acknowledged to
be fault, strikes one as a curious auo
maly. No one would answer, If told, "You
are very truthful" ooh, no, I'm con.
slant Iiar;'' nor, if complemented upon
consistent attention to her own business,
res pond, "On the contrary, scandal mon
gering is my faverite occupation" At
least, no one would give either of these
answers in the serious way in which the
claim to the possession of a hot tenn per is
made. May there not be, underlying this
10 consistency and explaining it, a mis-
conception of tho real meaning and
source of a quick temper? To many
minds this undesirable trait seems to be
the outcome of many very admirable
qualities. To be hot tempered means,
inferentially, in such mental vocabular-
les, to be generous, and large minded, and
unselfsh, and--after a little lapse of time
-fOrgiving. But I maintain that it
means exactly the reverse OF all these
things.
If man be quick tempered, if he give
way to anger quickly and unrighteously
(for leave out OF the question entirely
that righteous wrath which rises for good
reason only, and is quit as different mat
ter from temper), he is not generous, for
ne shows no regard for the comfort Of
these around him; he is not unselfish for
1T is safe to say that in nine cases out of
ten, If not IA ten out of ten, his fury is
kindled by some fancied slight TO him
self, and is allowed to blaze simply as an
illumination in honor of his self-esteem;
he is not forglving, because, though he
may recover quickly from his alteration,
and soon be perfectly urbane to the whilom
victim of 1t, the restoration is simply
forgetfulness, and to forget the injury
inflicted upon another by his ewn hasty
words 1s by no means synonymous with
forgiveness of injuries he himself may
have received. Last of all he is not large
minded. I am convinced that a quick
temper is an uafa1ling indication of a
limited intelligence and lack of mental
quickness. If the mind were large
enough to grasp the true relations of
things, to see how small point in the
universe this temper rousing episode oc-
cupied, and if it could see this quickly, in
a flash of thought, the outburst would be

4 Pathetic Tale from Australia.
Sydney Bulletin.

The other day a leading Sydaey solicit
tor received instructions from London to
hunt up a young man who had quilted
England ten years previously, and draft
for $500 was inclosed to pay his passage
home. After course of advertising
member of charitable society called in
and directed the solicitor TO certain
howell in Lower Alexandria, Sydney. The
solicitor, Gnowing the Clay" of the coun-
try, judiciously sent his clerk down to
catch the fever instead of doing it in per
son. That well-dressed young man ex-
plored the barbarous region, dodk ing
through back lanes and over mud pies
and among broken fences that hung
YEARLY ard lopsidedly amid abysses of
mud, and at last he arrived a. hut which
boosted box and pile of rags and
straw for its sole furniture. A weary
woman, who had once been handsome,
and who under happier auspices would be
handsome again, begged that they should
not be turned out of their dismal abode
until her husband was better, and hol-
low-eyed invalid stretched on pile of
rags in q corner echoed the petition.
and these two we're heirs to a fortune of
100000.
