which rendered him. impatient of con-
troll; his consciousness of having rem
dered great service to the expedition and
of possessing property in the ships. That
he was man of great professional merit
is admitted by all his contemporaries;
that he naturally possessed generous
sentiments and an honorable ambition,
is evident from the poignancy with which
he felt the disgrace drawn on him by his
misconduct. A mean man would not
have fallen victim to self upbraiding
for having been convicted of mean
action. His story shows how one lapse
from duty may counterbalance the merits
of a thousand services; how one moment
Of weakness may mar the beauty of a
whole life of virtue, and how important
1t is for man, under all circumstances,
to be true. not merely to others, but to
himself.

CHAPTER XII

soJoURN OF COLUMBUS AT BARCELONA.
The JOY occasioned by the great dis.
covery of Columbus was not confined to
Spain; the tidings We're spread far and
wide by the communications of embas-
sadors, the correspondence of the learned,
the negotiations of merchants, and the
reports of travellers, and the whole civil
lied world was filed with wonder and
delight. How gratifying would it have
been had the press at that time, as at
present. poured forth its daily tide of
speculation on every passing occurrencel
With what eagerness should we seek to
know the first ideas and emotions of the
public on an event SO unlocked for and
sublimel Even the first announcements
OF it by contemporary writers. though
brief and incidental, derive interest from
being written at the time; and from
showing the casual way in which such
great tidings were conveyed about the
world. Allegretto Allegretti, in his an
nails of Sienna for 1893, mentions it as
just made known there by the letters of
their merchants who were In Spain and
by the mouths of various travellers
The news was brought to Genoa by
the return of her ambassadors, Francisco
Marchesi and Giovanni Antonio Grim
aldi. and was recorded among the tri
nmphant events of the year; for the re-
public, though she may have slighted
the opportunity Of making herself mis-
tress of the discovery. has ever since
been tenacious of the glory of having
given birth to the discoverer. The It'd
ings were soon carried to England
which as yet was but a maritime power
of inferior importance. They caused.
however, much wonler in London. and
great talk and admiration in the court
of Henry VII, where the discovery was
pronounced "a thing more divine than
human" We have this on the author

A Word ABOUT Alil1et.

The common rnillet requires dry,
light and rich soil and grows from two
and half to four feet in height and may
be sown broadcast about one bushel to
the acre or in drills one-half less. Hum
garian grass is a species of millet grow
ing less rank and with smaller stalks.
Both are ANIMALS and require to be sown
every season. On good, well prepared
soils millet furnishes an abundant crop
of green forage, and for this purpose may
be cut during its various stages Of
growth. The seeds are fine and not well
adapted to heavy soils. There are several
varieties, but the common mlIlet, the
golden and Hungarian grass are the ones
most usually grown. Like the corn
plant, it requires warm soil and warm
weather for its best growth, and should
not be sown until these conditions pre-
vail. In its green state it has nutritive
value equal to timothy grass, but If left
until the seeds are ripened the stalks be-
come hardened and their nutritive value
is lessened; consequently it is better to
cut it for hay before the seeds are ripe
and there will be less danger from over
feeding the ripened seed. 1t is esteemed
chiefly for soiling, or as supplementary
crop when the meadows are light and
the corn cropslim. 1t should be cut and
cured while the weather is warm.
While many of the annual plants are
valuable for forage, none are in all
respects equal to timothy and other
perennial grasses for hay.

The weeping Mountain Ash.

The weeping mountain ash has re-
ceived as much attention as any weeping
tree on account of its distinct and Curl
GUS habit. A careful examination of its
mode of growth cannot fail TO excite
wonder If worked two or three feet
from the ground and allowed to grow
wild it soon becomes as odd piece of
framework as it is pos bic to imagine.
Grated six to eight ieet high it be-
comes 81 very desirable lawn tree, and In

With England Elton her child kept pace as q

And ever as earth waxed wiser, and softer the

Since fate fell dark on her father, most hapiess

Her praise has increased as the chant of tho
dawn that the choir OF the noon outsines.
Storm and cloud in the skies were loud, and
lightning Knocked at the blind suns light;
War and woe on the land below shed heavier
shadow than falls from night;
Dark was earth at her dawn of birth as here
her record of praise is bright.
