eve doubt if there is a lady in Virginia
more liberal with her money in aiding worthy
causes, than Miss Mary Julia Baldwin. She
has established by her efforts an educational
institution for young ladies that has no Supe-
rior in the South in the high standard and
thoroughness of it's course of study. Starting
without means, Miss Baldwin has acquired a
small fortune through the successful man
generosity.
''NIiss Baldwin's subscription to the church
OF which she is member, amounts each year
to several thousand dollars, and is in many
cases equal to the amount given by the entire
balance of the congregation.
''ThiS last act of Miss Baldwin's liberality
is only one of the very many of which the
recording angel takes note each year.

The Compass Plant.

In the prairies of the west there grows
a plant which proves of great value to
the wanderer. Il is described as a dwarf
variety of the osler, is perennial, attains
usually q height of 8 feet 6 inches and
has a head of yellow flowers. The help
it renders the traveller arises from the
fact that the long leaves at the base of
the stem, which are placed, not flat as in
plants generally, but in a vertical posi-
ton, present their edges north and south.
This peculiar propensity of the foliage of
this plant is attributed to the fact that
both surfaces of its leaves display an
equal receptivity for light. All the
other known varieties of its class are
characterized by the presence on the
lower surface of their leaves of from
twice to thrice as many respiratory YES
sells as are contained on the upper sur
face, which is therefore the more sensi-
tive of the two to the influence of light.
But both surfaces Of the compass plant
are clothed alike with an epidermis ex-
c~eptionally receptive of light; and the
same instinct of its leaves that prompts
them to require an equal distribution of
light upon either surface causes them to
assume a vertical position and to point
their edges due north and south. Tray
elers ON dark nights are said to feel the
edges of the leaves to ascertain the
points of the compass when no Other
means are available for helping them IN
their way. Longfellow refers to the
compass plant in ''Evangeline."

Poets Great Discoveries.

"Wonderful, is it not, that two of the
greatest truths of nature should have
been first discovered by a poet, who was
not a scientist at all?" said the professor.
SIT was Goethe whose genius inspired
intuition first lighted upon the bottom
fact of botany, since recognized, namely,
that each plant has but two parts-leaf
and stem. The reproductive portions
pistil, petal, stigma, calyx and corolla-
are only modified leaves. Now and
then, as if for the very purpose of prov
ing this proposition, a green rose is de-
veloped with leaf-like petals, aud it is
the same way with other things vege-
table-they all revert occasionally to
their primitive forms.
"The other grand discovery made by
Goethe was in the philosophy of the ami
NAL kingdom. One day, while walking
through the fields, he came upon the
skeleton of q beas4 that had died. A
practical anatomist, if he had paused to
consider the remains, would have dis
cussed with himself merely the relation
of the bones, but the poet viewed the
whole framework Of the animal that had
been with the enlarged vision of a the
orist. While doing SO the fact dawned
upon him, recognized at this later day
by science, that the skull of the creature
was, after all, only an enlarged vertebra,
or expanded section of the backbone.
The conclusion immediately followed
that the brain was but a magnified por-
ton of the spinal cord.
THUS was a new discovery in the phi
losophy of nature first hit upon. Science
now recognizes it as a truth. Just as
the flower is only q leaf modified for re-
productive purposes, SO the brain is sim
ply an extremity of the spinal cord
exfoliated into an elaborate. highly con-
voluted organ Of MISUNDERSTANDING
ton Star.
