They Had Mover Seen Roses.

Two ladies, managers, came into a
school the other morning shortly after it
had opened. One of them wore beau
tiful jacqueminot rose, on which the
eyes Of the whole school were at once
turned admiringly. Noting this, the
owner of the flower gave it to one of the
teachers for the children.
"Now, children, how many of you
know what this ISL" asked the young
lady, holding up the flower. Nearly ev-
cry little one shook his head to indicate
ignorance,
One small boy and a couple of little
girls piped out with great Importance:
"It's posie, please, ma'am."
But no one had ever heard of rose.
Most of the children had never seen one
before. The flower was passed along
and small noses fingered longingly over
it's fragrance, while dirty little palms
patted its velvet petals caressingly. No
one saw or thought Of anything that
morning but the rose. The teacher put
it in glass of water to preserve it, and
when school was dismissed each child
was rendered supremely blissful by the
gift of tiny petal. AS they filed out Of
the door each little waif clutched his
treasure tightly in his small hand, while
he murmured softly to himself the name,
"Pitty wose, pity wose."-Pittsburg

An Adjective That Pleased,

There is mode of speech which may
be termed euphemistic by those who are
fond of calling spade spade" but is
it not rather the natural expression of
the charity which never faileth? To say
the best of others is manifest duty,
and to do it in the prettiest language en-
hances it wonderfully. And where de-
fects exist that are commented on by
the unfortunate possessor in that i'll
judged fashion which attempts to as
sumo indifference to the imperfections
how deftly may the confdante turn the
current of self depreciation into smooth
er channel by "a nice arrangement of
epitaphs." A young girl bewailed her
thinness in the hearing of a man of tact,
who instantly exclaimed: "Thin! Why,
you are ethereal"
Possibly no sermon that this courtly
clergyman ever preached was more i'm
mediately productive of good results
than his well chosen adjective. His
nearer, delighted with the synonym,
which involved no sacrifice of truth, but
which gave it a more attractive present
ment, resolved thenceforth so to choose
her words as to present realities in their
most favorable light, and to make truth
palatable instead of hard, bitter and in
digestible morsel.-New York Recorder.

Lord DERBY and MIR. Gladstone.

We have lost a great intelligence in
Lord Derby---a great intelligence, per-
haps, rather than great intellect. For
we fancy there is slight difference of
Specification between the two. For ex-
ample, it would be hard to imagine
minds more different in their constitu-
ton than Lord Derby's and Mr.. Glad
stones. Lord Derbys pure intelligence
was in many respects much the wider
OF the two. He saw with much more
impartial vision both what was not to
his mind and what was, but the result
was that he often, especially in early
life, rather chilled than attracted
the sympathy of those whom he adj
dressed. His light was eminently dry
light, cold light-almost at times bleak
light. He seemed to say, "This is my
view, and so far as l can Judge the
complete view, but if you cannot follow
me that is no business of mine, and
am quite Indifferent whether you agree
with me or not"
Mr.. Gladstone's attitude of mind is al
most as unlike as it can be. He seldom
gives the impression of any detachment
at all. He is eager, vehement, playful,
persuasive, sympathetic, in the highest
sense impressive. He is nothing less
than impartial on any subject into which
he enters with his whole mind, but he
makes you forget this in the charm of
his invitation to agree with him. Lord
Derby's argumentative shots were what
are technically termed "chilled shots"
as compared with Mr.. Gladstone's. If
those shots did their work, they did it
with a certain ostentatious frigidity as
to the effect-London Spectator.

Passing of the Snake,

Readers of newspapers must have no
ticsd that during the last five years the
Breed Of newspaper snakes has greatly
deteriorated ip intelligence and general
accomplishments. Time was when Geor-
gia and Alabama snakes %riggled along
on the tips of their tails and picked cot
ton buds, when they entered houses in
the nighttime and drained babies milk
bottles, who they grew to enormous
lengths and performed under proper
training many acts of domestic service.
All this is changed now. The reptilian
kingdom has experienced setback in
its progressive march toward intellectu-
atty. AS a consequence, newspaper
writers have been obliged to fall back
upon such commonplace animals as the
cat and dog.-Omaha World-Herald

publicity is to society. 1t is well enough
