We habitually think Of the rain
cloud only as dark and gray, not
knowing that We owe to it perhaps
the fairest, though not the most
dazzling. of the hues of heaven.
Often in our English mornings, the
rain-clouds in the dawn form soft,
level fields, which melt impercepti-
bly, into the blue; or when ofless
extent, gather into apparent bars,
crossing the sheets of broader cloud
above; and all these bathed through
out in an unspeakable light of pure
rose color, and purple, and amber.

nearer. composed ofclusters or tres
ses of cloud, like floss silk, looking
as if each knot were little swathe
or sheaf of lighted rain. These are
the robes of love of the Angel of the
Sea. To these that name is chiefly
given, the spreading of the couds,
from their extent, their gentleness,
their fullness of rain Note how
they are spoken of i'm Job: "By
thcm judgeth He the people. He
giveth meat in abundance. With.
clouds He covereth the light. he
hath hidden the light in His hands,
and commanded that it should re-
turn. He speaks oft to his friend
that it is His possession and that
He may ascend thereto"
Look at the clouds, and watch the
delicate sculpture of their alabaster
sides, and the rounded lustre of
their magnificent rolling. They are
meant to be beheId far away; they
are shaped for their place, high
above your head; approach them
and they form into vague mists, or
whirl away in fragments of thun-
derous vapor. When near US, clouds

colors; but when far from us, and

The Future Of Row.

Neither precocity nor dullness is
a certain index of the future of a
boy. Only a wise man can tell the
difference between the priggishness
of conceit and the display of nnu-
sual talent, and it takes a superIa-
lively wise man to devise right
methods of exciting temperaments
that are dull, or, ON the other hand,
to guide a genius. Abnormal bril-
liancy and abnormal sIowness are
usually the result of abnormal phys
icaI conditions, and Psychologists
are only just beginning to snow to
ordinary parents how these unusu-
al conditions may be discovered and
treated. When we see a man we
cannot tell what sort of boy he
came from, and when we see boy
we cannot tell what sort of man

With an air of manly pride,
And he smiles as he looks down fondly
On maiden by his side.
She's winsome little damsel
In-her dainty peasant dress
As she looks demurely ut him
And submits to his caress.
In all the time I've known them
They've never fallen out.
Her pretty lips I'm very sure
Have never known pout-
They've known no pang of jealousy,
No gnawing discontent:
They've never had a quarrel;
They have nothing to repent.
They've stood there by that china stile
Beneath those china flowers
And loved with constant, china hearts
For countless happy hours.
Alas, who does not envy them
Their life so sweet and staid-
This Royal Worcester lover
And his Royal Worcester maid.

ERIM's NATIONAL COLOR.
Sir J Bernard Burke, ulster King of Arms, :"
Says it is Blue.

Sir J. Bernard Burke, Ulster King OF Arms,
Says it is Blue.
The late Sir Bernard Burke, high
authority on heraldic matters, wrote as
foil ,ws on Ireland's national color:
The question of the Irish national
color was raised short time since in
connection with the State prosecutions
in Ireland, and it nearly became the sub
ject of legal controversy. That I might
reply correctly I made every. possible in
curry. I examined carefully the old
Celtic authorities, I searched through
the Annals of the Four Masters, the Bar
die Remains, and other documents, and
sought information from all the sources
thought likely to afford it. Previous
to the Anglo-N Norman invasion it does
not appear that there was any color or
standard for Ireland at large. The vari-
GUS septs were ranged under the banners
of their respective chiefs, and when one
Of those chiefs was elected King his color
may have been considered for the time
the national ensign. The field "guless
of the O'Brien coat of arms would indi
cate that Brian Boru's banner at Clon-
tart was .'red." Most assuredly, the
popular colors Of those days were crlm-
son, saffron and blue. Green was not in
favor. O'Neill did not use it, nor
O'Meleaghlin, nor O'Donnell, nor Nc
Carthy, nor O'Rourke, nor MacMor-
rought-Kavanagh, nor OBrien. and
those we're the chief Celtic princes from
whom the kings were chosen.
Certain it is that from the date of the
advent of Strongbow and his followers,
the field OF the national arms, and CON
sequently the national color. has been
blue.
From the fact that "azure three crowns
or" was the coat Of augmentation granted
by King Richard III. to his favorite, Rob
ert de We're, Earl Of Oxford and Marquis
Of Dublin, when he created him Duke OF
Ireland, with the sovereignty thereof,
and from the occurrence Of the "three
crowns" on the old Irish coinage it may
fairly be Inferred that the coat Of arms arms
was the national bearing OF Ireland DUR
ing the Plantagenet era.
This coat "azure three crowns or was
that OF st. Edmund, and it is just posi-
bic that the Anglo Normans, arranged as
they are known to have been under the
banners ct st George and st. Edmund
may have introduced the bearings of ST.
Edmund as, the ensign Of the newly nc
qnired country Of Ireland; 81. sEdnnnsd's
arms had indeed long been employed as
part of the royal insienia. They were

that this unworthy Weaf6r or Inc mltre
afterwards persecuted her and bounded
hersto death. One finds it very difficult,
in reading the account Of the mock trial
accorded to the poor girl, to believe that
any man, least Of all one who had worn
the purple Of q Catholic prelate, could
be guilty Of such cruelty, deceit and
baseness as this Cauchon perpetrated, in
order 10 crafty his vengeful passions
and compass the death Of the maiden
whom he held responsible for his dis
graceful dismissal from his see. Even
atte-, BY the vilest Of articles, be had
succeeded in having her burned at the
stake, Cauchon systematically calumnl-
.ated her memory wherever he found an
opportunity Of doing SO, and evidently
fiattered himself that he had persuaded
the world that he had but done bis duty
IN procuring the death of q sorcerer and
hereto. How his ybase endeavors failed
is matter OF history.
Even the English, who handed Joan
over to him for trial and condemnation,
denounced the baseness of the methods
he employed to procure her execution
France has never regarded her in any
other light than that of heroine and
saint; the Church set aside Cauchon's
euborned verdict before the century that
saw it recorded had elapsed, and now
the most illustrious pope OF modern
times orders the Congregation of Rites
to proceed with her Identification, to the
great qualification of all France and with
the approval OF the whole Christian
world, which long ago decreed that the
shepherdess of Domremy in no way de-
served the cruel death to which her enc
mics put her, and proclaimed her worthy
of all praise and honor.
The Qualification Of Joan Of Arc has
for years been anticipated in France.
Thus Monsignor Pages, the bishop of
Verdun, when, three years age, he began
collecting funds for the statue OF the
maid at Baudricourt, said that, while he
had received many subscriptions from
people who declared their pleasure at
contributing for the glory of her who
drove the English out of France, added
that "many other subscribers in Brittany
have caught the real spirit of my mission,
the glorifcation Of the holy virgin mar
tyr and saint, the patriot Joan, whose
canonization is now only a question OF
.time.'' The statue the good bishop pro
poses to erect will be an equestrian one,
to be placed on the top of the dorjon OF
the castle of Baudricourt, 14O feet from
the ground. Two captains of the fifteenth
century dress will lead the maids horse,
and the prelate also contemplates the re-
storation Of the old castle, in which there
will be chapel built, with residence
for religious community whose mem-
bers shall care for The building, spread
the fame Of the maid end pray for the
prosperity of the country to which she
rendered such valiant service,
