Origin of the snowarop,

The arrival of snowdrops in the
gardens as the first blossoms of the
present season recalls a medieval
legend in regard to the origin of the
flower. 1t states that ssone day after
the fall Eve stood in Paradise lament
ing the barrenness of the earth, which
no longer produced vegetation and
where no flowers grew. An angel,
plying her sad condition., exposed as
she was to the binding snow which
was falling at the time, came down to
the earth to try to console her.
"He listened to her complaints, an 4
being moved with pity for so much
grief took in his hand a flake of the
snow, and, breathing upon it, babe it
take the form Of a flower and bud and
blow. He at the same time added
that the little blossom should be a
sign and symbol to her that the
winter was over, and that the sun and
the summer would soon return. On
raising her eyes to express her graft
tude to the angel he was nowhere to
be seen, but on the place where he had
stood was a snow white ring, which
she had no difficulty in recognizing as
composed Of snowdrops," Boston Jour-
nal.

there is almost invariably row. They

Mrs. stanton,s Resinnins.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton recent
~ told story about the way in which
she began her work Of reforming the
world. When she was girl of 10 or
II, she used to see her father, Judge
Cady, administering law from the
bench. She noticed that the Judge, in
laying down the law or giving his de-
cision, always referred to his law books
for guidance. She set to work in his
library reading these books, and, as
she thought he could not say anything,
but what he found there, she carefully
tore out and burned those pages that
contained principles or decisions of
which she disapproyed. How could he,
while on the bench during a trial,
make application of anything not to
be seen in the books by which he was
guided? She discovered great deal
that was offensive in every law book
that she inspected in the library. Out
came the pages, which she cast into
the fire until the book suited her, and
she felt sure that her father would be
compelled to confne himself to such
law as she left. She kept on at this
work for long while, until she was
caught at it; but by the time great
part of Judge Cady's law library had
been spoiled in her efforts to reform
the worldly. Y. Sun.

"Well, I spoke to her in an off-hand
way one day, and she fired up and
said that as long as mad clerks it was
my business to be bothered. Next day
l selected ten of the girl clerks, poscsd
'em as to what to say and they rang
her door-b bell at intervals of an hour
all day, and inquired if she wanted a
nurse girl. She didn't, and told them
SO, pleasantly enough, until the tenth

Because, ma'am, so long as you

Calm seas upon whose placid breast
My bark one day shall anchored lie,
Beyond this seasons keen unrest,
Beneath softened evening sky!

Recount the storms that strike me now,
For me the struggle sore shall cease,
And Trust stand at my vessels PROV!
The shipwreek and the storm no more
May toss me meath its stern decree;
But anchored within sight of shore
a perfect rest shall welcome me!
I shall not count the tears that flow
These weary hours. these restless days
For then my keener sight shall know
The hidden meaning OF His ways!
And thus / look beyond the storm,
Beyond the clouds that now appear
Knowing the ills that take such form
Shall fee before the evening clear.
Calm seas upon whose placid breast
My bark one day shall anchored lie,
My soul may not possess thy rest
Until the evening draweth nigh!

Mrs. Harriet Beecher stowe.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has. been
very very feeble of late, and rarely
writes anything but brief letters to
her friends. She did, however, for
charity's sake, contribute a few lines
to a paper published during the prog
ress Of a fair in Hartford. The con-
tribution was short but amusing:
"When I was s years of age 1 had a
favorite cat, of which [ was very fond.
Puss was attacked with fits, and in
her paroxysms flew around the top of
the wall, jumped on our heads, and
scratched and tumbled up our hair in
a frightful manner. My father shot
her, and when she was cold and dead
my former fondness returned. I wrap
ped her nicely in cloth and got my
brother to dig a grave and set up a
fiat stone for a monument Then [
went to my older sister Catherine and
asked her to write me an sepithet' to
put on the stone. She wrote:
Here lies poor Kit,
Who had a fit,
And acted queer;
Killed with a gun,
Her race is run,
And she lies here
| pasted this upon the stone, and was
comforted."

many interesting experiences, one of
most notable of which was that they
