The varnish Tree.

Some years ago Prof. Rein planted in
the Frankfort Botanical Garden some Of
the trees from which it is stated the Jap
anese obtain their lacquer or varnish.
The tree is known to botanists as the
Rhus vernix, and it appears there are
now thirty four healthy trees, some
thirty feet high. Prof. Rein has taken
sap from q few of the trees and sent il
to Japan for trial by native artists 1t

district, and its juice is known for it's
deleterious, or Injurious properties, and
has conse uently been let alone. The

ANA he more than kept his word. Thi |

And he more than kept his word. Tho
young Southern girl often marvelled at
his fatherly interest and kindness
Often sherwoulds find him gazing'at her
with tears I'm his eyes and when he spoke
to her his smanner seemed more gentle
than when he addressed his own daugh-
tera
No one save Rena herself knew the
measure of his affection for her. He
seemed to- keep O certain secrecy In II
and to hoard 1t I'm his heart. He de-
lighted to anticipate her every wish; he
could not bear to see cloud upon her
face. He could not hear to sec her sit
apart. He seemed to fancy that she felt
a slight when there was none Once his
attention was attracted by the diamond
locket to which she had chung through
oil her misfortunes. When she showed
him the picture It contained, telling
him 1t portrayed her father. his whole
frame shook with emotion and he hur-
ried from the room without word.
Rena's life was thus very happy
one. Mrs Warresby was as kind as the
Colonel, treating her as cherished
daughter, while between herself and the
children of the household-her little
charges-there sprang up strong mu-
tual affection. At length q
year had passed away. Another Thanks
giving Day had dawned and Colonel
Warresby lay dying. An ins.dious dis
ease, against which his iron constitution
had struggled long, was about to prove
the victor. When the doctors told him
that he had but few more hours-per-
haps only few more minutes-of life,
he desired that Miss Mention might be
summoned to his bedside
AS she approached tears fell from his
eyes, and in broken voice he said: "My
poor child, can you forgive the murderer
of your father? Can you clasp the hand
that slew him in the pride and vigor OF

Two Views of Bad Literature.

In Paris a league has been formed for
the suppression of all forms of impure
literature, photogra phs, etc, in France,
and M. Constans, Minister of the Int
rior, is lending 1t ACTIVE assistance by
ordering the police to overhaul the news
stands in all cities and confiscate every
thing savoring of indecency. The, aims
and intentions OF the league and M.
Constans, no doubt, are laudable, but
whether they will meet with success is
very doubtful.
Experience has shown that prohibition
of a certain kind of literature in most
cases serves only for an advertisement
of II, and does not restrict its circula
ton, but on tho other hand tends to a
dangerous interference with the liberty
of publication. Far better is the RENE
dy proposed in Germany-namely, the
propagation of wholesome and moral
views by encouraging the circulation of
works of pure and healthy tendency
In Germany, societies have been found
ed for that purpose, and their marked
success during the last few years ought
to encourage imitation in other countries.

A small boy sat on the top of the fencs.
And thought he was quite bright fellow,
Tor lac counted the days till Thanksgiving
time.
And no counted tho pumpkins yellow.
And he said, as he sat In royal state
On top OF the fence 50 high.
"a pumpkin pie most highly rate,n
And he mused on the pleasures of by
and by.
And now near at hand was Thanksgiving
Day,
And the kitchen was all In a whirl,
And his mother was busy ms busy could be-
Likewise his aunt and the servant girl.
To take pie, this small boy intended,
For what was one pie more or less;
NO doubt his mother would be offended.
But who the culprit. she'd never guess.
His chance soon came. for q neighbor
came In
To ask for the loan of the rolling pin.
And when none were looking or stand
ing by
This dreadful boy ran of with pie.
The pie was hot and burned him 30,
And running 50 fast he stubbed his toe,
That over he fell. hot pie and all.
And loudly did for his mother call.
She sadly looked at her pride and Joy,
And separated pie from boy;
He cried very hard at having done wrong.
But he knew he'd cry moro before very
long.
Next day at dinner all wondered why
This small boy was debarred from pie;
But his mother and he> alone knew the
reason,
And he thought their remarks quite out Of
season.

A smile of unutterable thanksgiving

"God bless you This is indeed q

his wife, who "a so stood beside him.
Then, with one last, convusive effort he
