Anyone who knows any
thing about crockery knows
that for every-day-knock-about
stuff, England sends us the
best. A good deal of it is too
thick for use in private tamil
les. but some of it is made OF
medium thickness and is ser
vicable. By the e" Anna John
son" which arrived the other
day we got a lot Of this quail
ity, and it has turned out
cheaper and better than we
expected. The plates and
saucers are all regular-not a
misht in the whole bunch.
We've never handled toilet
sets, but there has been such
demand that we included
some in an English order.
The ewers are all latest shapes
and nicely decorated; not gold
and silver, you know, but just
a neat bunch of flowers here
and there on a prettily tinted
ground, a cluster of roses here
and sprig Of something else
there. The sets will improve
the appearance of any bed
room and you won't be extra
VACANT either. We give them
away-for a song. Come in
and sing to us.
Understand we make a spe-
cialty OF FEaviland China be-
cause it is the finest and be-
cause there are certain capital
features about it that other
| decorated ware does not pos
sess. You can duplicate any
piece broken. You can't do
that with any other decorated
ware but, some people want
| full sets for same certain meal.
They've called for them and
we had to order them; not
special orders, but just so as
to have them in case someone
else should call. We haven t
many, but what we have are
| beauties. One set has a white
ground with a tiny blue forget
me-not in a sort of lei around
|
the top of the cups, and on
} the edge is gold band and
the same on the other pieces.
The effect is certainly very
pretty. The cups, by the way,
are not of the conventional
pattern, but are decidedly odd
in shape.
We have another set of an
Undesirable color. Odd
enough for anyone.
They're pretty to look at
even if you don't want to buy
them the door is open, step
in and see them.
We've called your attention
several times to an adjustable
fly or mosquito screen
they're a good thing and you
want one. If you prefer some
thing not adjustable we have
| a frame made especially. 1t is
adjustable to a certain size.
then you tack it together and
put on your wire cloth. The
frame IS neat and strong and
: very, very cheap.
We've imported some very
handsome brass chandeliers
and electroliers with colored
shades. This week we will
have a large invoice of lamps,
some of which may suit your
fancy,
If you're thinking about
painting your house we have
paints of every imaginable
color-from elephants breath

HYMN OF NATURE
REV. W. B. O. PEABODY.

Godsof the earth's extended plains!
The dark green fields contented lie:
The mountains rise like holy towns,
Where man might commune with the sky;
The tall cliff challenges the storm
That lowers upon the vale below,
Where shaded fountains send their streams,
With joyous music in their flow.
God Of the dark and heaving deep.
The waves lie sleeping on the sands,
Till the fierce trumpet of the storm
Hath summoned up their laundering bands;
Then the white sails are dashed with foam,
Or hurry. trembling. er the seas,
Till Gained by thee, the sinking gale
Serenely breathes, Depart in peace
God of the forests solemn shade
The grandeur of the lonely tree
That wrestles s1ngly with the gale
Lifts up admifing eyes to thee:
But more majestic far they stand
When, side by side their ranks they form,
To wave on high their plumes of green,
And fight their battles with the storm!
God of the light and viewless air!
Where summer breezes sweetly flow,
Or, gathering in their angry might,
The fierce and wintry tempests blow;
All-from the evenings plalntive sigh
That hardly lifts the dropping flower.
To the wild whirlwinds midnight cry
Breathe forth the language of thy power
God of the fair and open skr
How glorious above us springs
The tinted dome of heavenly blue,
Suspended by the rainbow's rings!
Each brilliant star that sparkles through,
Each gided cloud, thai wanders free
In evenings purple radiance, gives
The beauty of its praise to thee.
God of the rolling orbs above.
Thy name is written clearly bright
In the warm days unvarying blaze,
Or evenings golden shower of light
For every fire that fronts the sun
Aud every spark that walks a one
Around the utmost vergs of heaven,
Were kindled at thy burning throne.
God of the world the hour must come,
And natures self to dust return;
Her crumbling affairs must decay,
Her incense fires shall cease to burn;
But still her grand and lovely scenes
Have made mans warmest praises flow;
For hearts grow holier as they trace
The beauty of the world below.

A CIVIL WAR INCIDENT.
Jacks Toiisome Marches Were Over, a
There Were no More Battles to Fl ght.

Jacks Toiisome Marches Were Over, and
There Were no More Battles to FL ght.
Among many incidents related to me
by soldiers on their return from the late
war was the following:
A score or more of men were gathered
in group on the camp-ground when one
of them began to sing IN a musical tenor
The Crimean Camp Song" All listened
with breathless interest to the rich tones
of the manly singer as they foated on
the still air. With tender pathos in his
voice he sang the words:
"And Irish Morals eyes are dim
For singer dumb and glory;
And English Mary mourns for him
A stray bullet sped over the skirmish
line, and before any of the number could
even turn their heads, the singer had gone
to join the BAN, and the Crimean camp
sang Annie Laurie. They mourned their
comrade, these warm-hearted soldier boys,
but as he was lying so calm and peaceful
in the last restful sleep, they thought
of the many hard miles of weary marches,
the battles to be fought and the hard
ships still in store for them One of the
soldiers drew rough, brown hand across
his eyes as he muttered, Jack has no
more battles to fight, his toilsome marches
are over" and those who heard him felt
a softened sorrow and feeling, almost of
thankfnlness, entered their hearts, as it
should ours when any of our loved ones
are called within the Fathers fold-the
weary march of life DER

The Big Spring Located Near the Village OF
Palmyra. Wis

Palmyra. Wis.
The rare wonders of nature are some
times found in remoter, quiet. and com
| paratlvely unknown parts Of the earth
Although seen and admired by thousand:
/ of visitors from. abroad, one of these
wonders of nature near the little -illage
of Palmyra, in Jefferson county, Wis, is
unknown TO the great majority of the citi
zPns of this and adjoining states.
1t is better known simply DIS Big Spring,
although recently named by an enthusi-
astic admirer from one of the twin cities,
the Aurelian Spring.
Before venturing description, of nee
essity feeble, of its marvellous beauty. saws
a correspondent of the Wisconsin, | will
quote the simple language OF admiration
| OF the Rev. Robert Collyer. of New York,
who gazed into its limped depths from
time to time during portion of the SUM-
nner of 1878. Said he: Il have travelled
through Europe and the United States,
yet never saw its like. 1t is one of the
most wonderful works Of the Creator"
The spring is in the midst of a most un
attractive marsh, not, however, difficult of
access, because of Improvements of man.
1t wells MP suddenly at your very feet, a
vast pool of living water, varying from
ten to twenty five, feet in depth. clear as
crystal, confined within natural wall of
rock, from which long sprays of messy
trailing vines. of variety not found else
where, float in its pearly waters. Through
this depth of twenty-five feet of water is
visible the bottom as clearl Y as if 1t but a
few inches interviewed.
Below the water is a depth of six feet
of bubbling, boiling quicksand. evidently
governed by tidal laws of its own, with
an ebb and flow and power quite of for
ever angulfn and unwary in It's depths,
while at the bottom of this quicksand is
an unseen rock of unknown thickness and
crystal color, from which detached por-
tions. worn by the constant action of the
quicksands have been recovered. The
shifting color of these quicksands is the
most wondrous marvel of all, caused by
the reflected rays of the sunlight through
this depth of clear water They vary
from the delicate shifting color of the
opal to the palest blue or green, seeming
at times to reflect every tint of the rain
bow in one rapid, C arming simmer of
color varying their tinge with the suns
attitude.
Drop pin into this spring So clear
is the water you can see its descent until
it is lost in the boiling sands beneath
where its light weight gives sufficient
impetus to set them boiling and seething
in a new form aud direction. Drop
marble, button or penny into the spring
and the effect on entering the quicksand
is beyond description 1t requires but
little stretch of the imagination to con-
ceive the whole vast witches caIdron
with the genii of the place ready to
emerge at any moment from the cave
within the rocky side of the spring, ready
to plunge the unwary to remotest depeths
below. or to believe the traditions that TIE
indians worshipped this spring as the home
of the Great Spirit Himself.

GRAVITATION.
Some Facts Connected With 1t That are
Not Generally Known.

Not Generally known.
Gravitation is a subject that nearly
everybody is somewhat familiar with,
says the Philadelphia Times, but there
are some things about it that you may
not know. For instance. suppose you
were weighed at the top OF deep coal
mine and afterwards at the bottom; do
you suppose there would be any difference
in the result? Yes, there would. You
would be lighter at the bottom. If it
were possible for you to go on downward
1000 miles in the earth and there be
weighed you would be surprised to find
your Wei ht only one-half what it was at
the surface, and if you could 60 to the
center of the earth you would not weigh
an ounce.
This is because the center pf the earth is
the center of its attractive power, which
is exerted equally in all directions. II
you ascend from the center of the earth
your weight will also increase, but not In
same ratio as when you descend. In 60
ing upward the decrease will be In pro-
portion to the square of the distance.
Thus, while you would weigh nothing if
you should 90 downward 1000 miles from
the surface you would still weigh one
fouth your actual weight if you could

Considerate Act of a Young Lady Toward

A Washington gentleman relates the
following street car episode which he
witnessed recently:
81 boarded north bound cable car
down in the heart of the city about dusk,
and as usual there was no seats left. J
took a position near the rear door. At
the next corner two young women got in.
They were bright looking, and one was
particularly progressing in appearance,
but she seemed to be very tired from
having operated typewriter all day long,
perhaps. Every man seated in the
car, save two, was snugly ensconsed
behind his evening newspaper.
The,two without newspapers were each
huddled up like a ball, almost, and had
their hats pulled down over their eyes
and pretended to be asleep.
"a small newsboy squeezed himself
through the crowd on the platform, and
cried out his evening papers with poor sue.

some bright idea. Size WHISPERED some

"'All right; I'm not afraid. Here, boy
give me the largest and never mind the
charge. said the woman eagerly. c
Then in a perfectly self-possessed ano
matter of fact manner, she walked to the
the center of the car, where sat the two
individuals with the SLOUGH hats. She
took the paper with her, and her move
ments were followed by the eyes of al
most every one in the car.
Here, gentlemen please have pa

toward each of these men. For it is toe
bad that of all this car load you should bt

your attention.
And the two men, at first not cor;pre

had witnessed the performance brought
