The Question.

Spake the youth Adam, to the maiden Eve:
''Dost love meI Answeri answer, or i dieP
mot so!' she said, with instinct 10 deceive:
Then downward glanced, and blushed from
No TO Ay,
"Dost love me- love me?' And denial failed
With loves first kiss.-"Besure 1 love thee. "
Nay.
Not sure was ne: with sharper doubt he wall
ed
"Dost love me, love me?"-Till upon day
Suspecting him by yaster thoughts beguiled
Quoth she, more softly than the widowed
bird,
'DOst love me, Adam?" And his quick ears
heard;
With half sigh, and half yawn, he smiled
As one convinced: and thenceforth, Ger and
Ger,
Answered the question-which he asked nc
more.

A Unique Composition.

l send unique composition, which
was originally published in Phila-
delphia paper over a hundred years
ago. 1t may be read three different
ways. FIRST, let the whole be read in
the order in which it is written; Sec
ond, read the line downwards on the
left of each comma in every line; third,
in like manner on the right of each
comma. In the first reading the Revo-
lutionary cause is condemned, and,
by the others, encouraged and lauded:
HarkI Harkl the trumpet sounds, the din of
wars alarms;
Ger seas and sClid ground, doth call us all to
arms,
Their ruin is at hand, who with the Congress
The acts of Parliament, in them l much de-
light,
l hate their cursed intent, who for the Con-
gresS fight.
The Tories of the day, they are my daily
toaSt
They soon win sneak away, who Independ-
encC beast;
Who non-resistance hold, they have my hand
May they for slaves be sold, who act a Whig-
gish part;
On Mansfield, North and Butte, may daily
blessings pour;
Confusion and dispute, on Congress ever
more;
To North and British lords, may honor still be
done.

his arm the COW shut down on it like a

 Several members of congress have been talking about locating the pro- jected congressional library building where the botanical garden now IS, at the foot of Capitol hill. As this be- longs to the government, it would save buying a site. "I idwells bottom would make a better site for the library" said Mir. William k. Smith, superintendent of the botanical garden, to Q reporter This is no place to put library bu ld- ing. This is nothing but marsh. The Fiber ebbs and flows here. The tide comes into this garden every twenty foer hours. All the lawn-this bright green sod, these plants and trees. the entire garden rises and falls with the tide When there have been high tides, when the waters in the Potomac and Fiber were high, I have seen the entire surface of the garden, pavement and all, rise and sink ba k into its place with the receding t.de. tt is foa5ing garden right ill the bed of the Tiber have seen mast ships stand where that little tree is.

The Millionaire Packer and His Sons Young Wife, Enriching Bride.
 

Young Wife, Enriching Bride.
 [Pittsburg Postl
 Both the Packer boys, Robert and Harry were Ire ted like equals by their father and their mother. In the little village where this good old man lived there was 2 summer hotel, which was patronized considerably during the season, Harry Packer often taking his meals there. A young girl named Lockwood, the daug hter of a respecta- ble citizen living near the village, came in to assist at the table. The ire quency of Harry Packers meals at tho hotel attracted some attention, and his brother Robert, or Bob as he was fam liarly and affection ately called by almost all who ever knew him, said one day before the father and Harry at the breakfast table that Harry was sweet on little girl down at the hotel, and that was the reason he did not come to his meals regularly. Harry colored up g little, and after they had fin shed their break fast the old judge seated himself on the front porch, which overiooks Mauch Chunk and gives such a magnificent view of the Lehigh valley, the moving boats and trains which his own industry had created and brought together. The old gentleman said, Harry, who IS this girl Robert refers to?'
 Miss Lockwood, father, the daugh- ter of man you know very we'll"
 Are yo1 going to marry her, Harry" said the judge.
 "I have some notion of it, father" said | larry.
 Well, wat til go down and see her" said the judge; and, picking up his old white hat and cane, the judge quietly ambled down to the hotel and asked for Miss Lockwood She inno- gently came in the office of the hotel, with her dining room apron on, and seated herself be tide the judge. Just what he said to her. or she to him, will never be exactly known, unless she tells it, but when the judge came out he was sm.l ng, and appeared mighty we'll pleased. He went home and found Harry still sitt ng on the porch where he had left him. By this time the judges face had resumed its usual grave but kind expression. Well, Harry, , he said, "that is very n;ce girl down there, but she has no money. We must raise her some"
 The old judge put down his memo randa for S50,OO0. the mother and oth- CTS for S25, 900 each, and this $150.00O was placed n the bank to the exclusive and immediate credit of Miss Lock, wood; the engagement was announced the wedding day fixed, the marriage took place, and Harry Packer got the girl he liked.

Making n se5O Painting.

New York Cor Courier-J ournal]
 Going into the studio of one of the water-colorists few weeks since, I found the artist on her knees before Q piece of very stiff paper, wh ch was spl cad out on the floor and fa rlv swim ming in water. She was dabbling wig orousjy at the paper and stralning every nerve to get the colors in while it was thoroughly wet This WAS nec- exsary, she told me, to the "pure tone" of tho picture he white spots, or high lights, were kept carefully dry in order to give "atmosphere" to the sketch.--.
 An overturned censer, with some scattered roses, lay On soft, gray scarf across the room, and formed the study from which she was working. 1 watched her with a good deal of inter est and curiosity as she evolved from the dripping swash of color a strong, firm gketch, which proved to be one of the finest pieces of this work that was hung at the Academy. This whole thing was done inside of three hours, and sold almost immediately for $25O.

Strange Attitudes in Death. 1Prof c E RrOwn-CeOuard.1

At the battle of Williamsburg a United States Zouave was shot directly through the forehead, as he was climb ing over a low fence, and his body was found in the last attitude in life; one leg half oyer the fence, the body crouching backward. One hand, partly clenched and raised to the level of his forehead, presented the palm forwar1 ss if to ward off an approaching evil.
 A brakeman of a freight car on the Nashville X Chattanooga railroad was instantaneously killed by shot be- tween the ey es, fired by guerrilla. The murdered man was screwing down the brakes at the moment of the shot. After death the body remained fixed, the arms rigidly extended on the wheel of the brake. The pipe which he had been smoking remained clasped be- tween his toeth The conservation of the last attitude can take place in other circumstances than sudden death from wounds to the brain, the heart, or the lungs, although an injury to vital organ is the most frequent cause of that phenomenon.
 A detail of United States soldiers, foraging near Goldsboro, N. O., came suddenly upon party of southern cal valry dismountei. The latter imme- diately sprang to their saddles and, after volley had been fired at them, they all but one rode away. That one was left standing with one foot in the stirrup; one hand, the left, grasping the bridle-rein and mane of his horse, the right hand clenching the barrel of his carbine near the muzzle, the butt of the carbine It sting on the ground. The mans head was turned over his right shoulder, apparently watching the ap- proach of the attacking party. He was called upon to surrender, without re- sponse, and upon q near approach and examination he was found to be igid in death, in the singular attitude above described. Great difficulty was ex perienced in forcing the mane of the horse from his left hand and the carbine from his right.
 On the battlefield Of Beaumont, near Sedan, in 1870, the dead body of sol dier was found half sitting, half lying on the ground, delicately holding tin | goblet between his thumb and fore finger and directing it towards an absent mouth. While in that position the | poor man had been killed by cannon ball which had carried away the whole of his head and face except the lower jaw. The body and arms hal been suddenly seized at the time of death with stiffness which produced the persistence of the state in which they were when the head was cut oil Twenty-four hours had elapsed since the battle.

The Public schools of Mexico. TCroffut'S NrV;cO I.aits,-


 During these la { few years, since the political change came upon the land, spe ;ial 0 fort has been made to promote @ lucation. Public schools enough have been built and equipped to accommo- date nearly all the children, but tke authorities have not vet succeeded in getting ali the children into them by a good deal.
 There are two kinds of public schools in tn s city. One of these, and the highest sort, is the national schools, supported by the federal government, and tbe other Is the nun :cipal schools, supported by the city itself. There are of municipal schools alone fifty for boys and thirty-ive for girls in the City of Mexico as adequate seating aecommo- dations as are furnished to the chil- dren of New York city. But the schools here have not the advantage of the graded stem, and the branches taugn5 are few. Of the federal schools there are fifteen in the c.ty for both sexes, mainly intended for those who purpose to practice profession or who require special culture.
 Of the adult peons very few can read and write. But the children of all classes are receiving much attention, and 1t is estimated that the number of those who have some education in creases 12 or l5 per cent. from year to year. In the matter of education the state of Vera Cruz is ahead of the other states of the republic.
 There are two other sorts of schools besides those mentioned: the parish schools, of which the Catholic priests have established good many here and there, and the Lancasterian schools, directed and supported by the Free rnasor.s 0F tLasa loot named fbara are eight or ten in this city alone.

Recent investigation shows that the rays of the moon shed directly on fish, even if it be on ice, will cause rapid decay. The test of this in tropical countries, where the moons influence is supposed to be greatest, was entirely satisfactory, four of the sailors who ate some of the moon-struck fish having nearly died.

Samuel w.

In the cooler months the animal will work seven or eight days without water, and if grazing on green foliage, without labor, will only drink once fortnight.
