The BishOp's Wit Saved Him.

4 story showing the shrewdness and
ready wit of the Scotchman is told #
A well known Scotch bishop who was
content to pass his life in single bless
edncss. While he held certain see
he was, of course, an object of cOnsid-
cradle interest to the unmarried ladies
of the neighborhood. One day he re-
ceivcd a visit from one of them, who
had reached the age of desperation.
Her manner was solemn, though some
what embarra ssed. The good bishop
spoke with his usual kindness, and en-
couraged her to be communicative By
and by he drew from her that she Lad
mad very strange dream, or rather,
As she thought, revelation from
heaven.
On further questi ming she C messed
that it had been intimated TO her that
she was to be united in marriage to
The bishop. One MAJ imagine what 8
start that gave to lie quiet scholar,
who ha | long before married his books
and never thought of any other bride.
lie recovered, however, and, address
ing her very gently, said that doubt
h,s these limitations were not to be
de- pissed. As yet, however, the de-
signs of heaven were but imperfectIy

when it happened he would be sure to
let her know.

Authors as Letter Writer'S.

"Because writing is my trade is no
reason why 1 should be expected to
follow it for pleasure" said Mark
Twain TO a writer in the Indianapolis
News, and forthwith the humorist de-
stroyed several letters lying before him
oil his desk. And this opinion is APP
parently shared by not a few of the
famous writers of the day
Bret Harte, for example, positively
refuses to answer any but letters of a
business nature, or from friends. Ten
nyson ignores all letters without dis
eliminating except in rare instances.
Robert Louis Stevenson travels
around SO much that most of his letters
never reach him, and those that find
him receive but scant attention. Mr..
Howells is not over particular with his
correspondence, and James Russell
Lowell is even less so.
Ouida takes pride in saying that but
one letter in hundred receives reply
at her hands. Mrs. Oliphant, the Eng
lish novelist, is also poor correspond
ent except with her intimate friends.
Frank r. Stockton has recently
formed the habit of answering letters
only after they have been repeated two
or three times. George Bancroft's age
prevents him from being attentive to a
miscellaneous correspondence, while
the poet Whittier and Wait Witmar
have been compelled for the same
reason to resort 10 science in numeI ous
cases.

ECONOMIC PLANTS.

Many of the pamphlets and publIca-
tions of the U. S. Department of Ag-
ricuiture are of great value and inter.
est to persons interested In horticul-
ture and Horticulture as well as TO the
agricultural interests. Among these is
late publication devoted to Economic
plants, in which a long list is given of
plants raised in the Botanical gardens
at Washington, with a brief description
aud history of each. These are
brought from every part of the world.
and are of various grades of utility.
Among them we find the Taro or Kalo
plant, (CdIGdiUBl eScuteRtJlDl) of the
Sandwich Islands from which pJt,
their natural dish is made There are
agaves, aloes. and other fbrous plants
also plants used incidentally.
There have been two pamphlets IS
sued descriptive of the Edible and
Poisonous Mushrooms of the United
States, winch, being illustrated with
colored pictures, cannot but prove of
much value to lovers of the toothsome
fungi.
A Report upon the Climatic and Ag-
rlcultursl features of the Pacific Slope

Good Advice.

One Mr.. MuldOOn erected In the
twenty Fourth Ward, of New York
City a structure with pilasters OF
lath on the facade and with rusty tin
for the roof, with a cellar below for
chickens. One day. he went to the
Commissioner Of Public Works with
this statement: ''Me name is Null
doom. l control forty votes. | keep
chickens in me cellar, and there is
water in it. l want it cleared out
or l shall throw me forty votes
against your parity" MuldOon was
advised to 20 to the fire department.
He went to them, and he sad: me
name is MuldOOn | control forty
votes. l want the water pumped
out, or I'll cast them forty votes for
a nay-gur." tt fire commissioners
said they would be glad to pump out
the water, but Muldoon had better
see the Mayor The Mayor received
him with a blind air Muldoon re-
peated his story, saying: "If you
don't get the water out, III give my
forty votes TO 4 hahuhen Chinee. 4"
The Mayor sent MuldoOn TO the
Board of Aldermen, where MuldOOn's
friend, McIutfin, a member OF the
Board, engraved on the tablet Of
MuldOon's memory the following in
tellectuil remark: "Muldoon, the

Mushrooms,

It is popular error that mushrooms
grow to their full size during a single
night, ard that they dissolve and van
ish after the sun shines upon them.
They are rapid in growth and rapid in
decay; but the same mushroom may
be watched growing and expanding
for two or three days, and then gradu-
ally decaying away. Much depends
on the dampness or dryness of the sea-
son. In some seasons they are exceed
ingly plentiful, while at other times
they are comparatively rare. This
also is believed to depend chiefly on
climatic conditions. 1t is not unusual
for cultivated mushrooms to become
attacked by parasitic mould, which
renders them unfit for food. This
misfortune rarely happens to the wild
form, until it is in process of decay.
The catacombs of Paris are noted for
their production of mushrooms in i'm
mense quantities. From the Merry
caves as many as 5000 pounds are
sometimes sent to market daily. We
have heard of crop being grown in q
hatbox.

THE WAX PLANT.

This beautiful greenhouse climber is
of the pilkweed family, its generic
name, tHoya), being in honor of
Thomas Hoy, distinguished English
gardener. The Hoyas are natives to
the East Indies and have twining
stems, thick, tieshy leaves, and pinkish
or flesh colored flowers in umbels. The
most common species in cultivation is
III. carnosa, with thick, waxen bios
SONS, so regular as to resemble arti-
ficIal flowers. They take root readily
and are fine for window culture, the
thick leaves bearing well the dry at
mosphere of heated rooms. They
grow in graceful shapes and blossom
abundantly in their season, requiring
very little water except when grow
ing.
The flowers should be allowed to
drop off themselves, when the flower
spurs will produce blossoms the follow
ing year.
There is nothing prettier for forming
an ornamental arch than this thirty
and beautiful climber.

Dickens on rhnckerar.. Death.

r On the Christmas eve OF 1853 my
father was greatly shocked and d s.
tressed to hear of the sudden death
OF Mr.. Thackeray, writes Mamie Dick
ems in the third of her interesting
papers, entitled My Father as | Re-
call Him." in the Ladies Home Jour-
nal. Our guests, naturally, were full
OF the sad news, and there was gloom
cast over everything. We all thought
of the sorrow of his two daughters,
who were so devoted to him, and
whom his sudden taking away would
leave so deSOlate. In 'The Cornhill
Magazine" of the February following
my father wrote: Il saw Mr.. Thack-
cray for the first time nearly twenty
eight years ago, when he proposed to
become the illust; atOr of my earliest
book / saw him last shortly before
Christmas, at the Athen9um Club,
when he told me he had been in bed
three days, and that he had it in his
mind to try new remedy, which he
laughingly described. He was cheer
full, and looked very bright. In the
night OF that day week he died
No one can be surer than | Of the
greatness and goodness of his heart.
In no place should take it upon my
self at this time to discourse OF his
books, of his refined knowledge Of
character, of his subtle acquaintance
with the weakness of human nature,
of his delightful playfulness as an
essayist, OF his quaint and touching
ballads, of his mastery over the En-
glisd language But before me lies
ali that he had written of his latest
story, and the pain l have felt in
perusIng it has not been deeper than
the conviction that he was in ,the
heaIthiest region of his powers when

surnrises Often Fatal.

There are many persons VINO are
fond of contrivIng surprises-pleaSant
surprises for their friends; and in nine
cases out ten, such little stratagems
are harmless.
But there are circumstances IN
which any tampering with that deli
cate instrument, the human heart,
becomes a tragic experiment.
Here is case in IOlnt a goEng
man OF Marse lies had been brought
up in the family of merchant, ald
Of course fell in love with his only
daughter.
1t became ne essary to send him 20
Calcutta on business; but the pain Of
parting was softened by a promise
tnat his marriage should take place
on his return.
In few weeks, however, news
came that the steamship In which he
had embarked had been wrecked, and
that every soul peTished. The grief
Of his destined bride was agonizing
After time however she became
calmer; but insisted Oh entering a
convent with the intention Of taking
the veil at the end OF year.
But few months Of her noviciate
had passed when she announced her
intention of leaving the convent in
consequence of repeated dreams which
showed her her lover alive aG1 well,
and asking for her hand.
In spite of the remonstrances of
the superior and sisterhood, the girl
went home, where she was received
with open arms by her parents.
But there was mysterious express
sion in their Joy, the meaning of
which she could not fathom.
They took her by the hand and led
her to the sltting-room; on the
threshold stood her lover, who re.
celyed her into his arms AMI covered
her with kisses.
When be released her from embrace,
she tottered, stretched out her hands
towards her parents, and sunk upon
the floor corpse. The joyful SIR.
prise had killed her.

Rose in tatters on the garden path
Called out TO God, and murmured 'gainst his
wrath
Because sndden wind In twilight's hush
Had snapped her stem alone of all the bush.
And God, who hears both sun dried dust and
sun
Made answer softly to that luekless one:
.sister, in that thou sayest did not well
what voices heard'st thou when thy petals
fell2'
And the Rose answered: "In my evil hour
A voice cried: Father, wherefore falls the
flower
For 10, the very gOssamers are stillF
A voice answered: Son, by Allah'5 Will"
Then, softly as the rain-nlst on the sward,
Came 10 the RO io the answer OF the Lord;
"SiSter, before 1 SmOte the dark In twain,
Or yet the st4Ts saw one another plan, Q
Tine tide and space bound unto the task
That thou shOuld'st fall aud such an one should

While he who questioned why he flower fell
Caught hold OF God aHd saytd his soul from
