UNKIND LETTERS.
BY JOSEPHINE Il. GERppn

Swiftly and silently they pass.
From nation to nation.
Without once being suspected.
OF their Indignation.
Strbng and noble hearts have hecn
Wrecked. destroyed. and broken,
BY a simple white packet
Though no words were spoken.
They are more dangerous and cut
Deeper than the sword
Without feeling, without reserve,
And without reward.
They have loaded lives with burdens,
Greater than they could bear.
With no hopes. no fears. no Thought
But u restless pulse of care.
Still they travel on. mantled and
Silent. from place to place.
And crush into dulub despair,
A portion OF the human race.

taken captive by a band OF Indian, and he

session q young man who did not belong to

came in the sight of the Scotch regi-
ments from whom this young man had
been captured, and the old Indian chieftain
said: 81 lost my son in battle, and / know,
how father feels at the loss of q son. Dol

young man said: II am the only son OF my

eaid the Indian chieftain: Because of the

The Love Humbug.

If one may be INDUCED in the use
of little slang, it makes wise man
tired to see how persistently his CONF,
peers run after and are beguiled by
the latest shams, and seem never so
happy as when they are being del
ceived. Especially is this trait MOTTO
able in the matter of physical all
ments. The family physician mayI
measure out his prescribed doses Oft
quinine or SIENNA, give the patient 81
plain, practical talk, and depart with
the consciousness of duty done and
the certainty that the subject will
leave the powders untouched on the;
mantle, unless he becomes frighten-|
ed, and that his reputation as a ply
sician will suffer in consequence.
But let some travelling fakir come
along, pitch his tent, swing out his
flag, with ringing of bells and blow
ing of horns, and 10! the public
is at his feet ready to be
healed, willing to swallow the
most nauseous mixtures, if only
they be christened with unpronounce7
able and untranslatable names.

ShreWdneSS of Plants,
From the Youths Companion.

From the YOutn 9 companion.
Even plants have an eye to the
main change. They are as much de-
voted to getting on in the world as
individuals of our own race are. Nor
is there any great difference in the
objects which their plans take in.
They like comfort, and secure it in,-
perfectly legitimate ways.
The slyness with which the plant
sometimes give hint of it's wishes
manifests spirit offun. The spacious
leaves Oft Victoria regia lie spread
out on the still waters of the Amazon.
There is no occasion for the plant to
develop a tough integument in these
leaves. !
Yet, what would take place when
the fishes came to the surface, as they
often do in persuit of prey Or to es-
cape when they are themselves pur-
sued? The immense leaves would be
punched through and ripped from
center to edge.
This mammoth lily protects itself
against harm from this source by de-
veloping prickles and spines on the I'M
derside OF the leaf, SO as to deter fish
from thrusting their noses against
that surface.
Plants are blessed with hearty ap-
petites for food and drink. That
they may make the most rapid
growth it is necessary that this appe-
tite be INDUCED most freely.
Moreover, like human beings, they
are subject to disease as penalty
for over-indulgence. If the leaf, for
example, drinks too much, even of
water, it's tissues will be required.
To guard against this danger. each
leaftooth i'll plants, like the sasifrage,
is furnished with water gland to
provide for the escape of the surplus
water.
