THE BOUNTIEs OF NATURE.

Whatever ravages upon the bounties
OF nature other sections may be suffer
ing, from locusts, ,grasshoppers, weevil,
blight, &c, this section certainly has
great reason to be thankful for the
bounties of nature in profusion this
season. Who can remember ever
seeing the grain stand higher or more
promising or who would care TO see
more fruit laden upon the trees, or
berries upon the bushesr With reas-
enable care of the inevitable potato.
bug there is no reason to doubt that
we shall have most prolific crop of
potatoes. And even corn, so greatly
retarded by unfavorable weather at
the time Of planting, is now making
rapid strides in growth toward perfec-
tion. Well may the good, bad and
indifferent of this blessed land, indiwd-
ually, collectively, and without regard
to religious creed or denomination,
raise their hands heavenward to praise
the God of all these bounties of nature
lest in our indifference we should be
made to cry to Him because Of His
Withholding them from us. Whether
We deserve them or not, they are here
in profusion, and let us at least express
some little word of thanks for the
bounties Of nature.

Now Pope Leo issues an encyclical
letter in which he appeals to all men
and all creeds for "unity of faith,"
the church of Rome being of course
the unit. He expresses sorrow for the
animositles ~ which have torn great
civilized nations from the church Of
Rome, and lie even intmates hope
Inat they may yet return to the one
true faith. OF protestants he says
there remains to them no certain rule
of faith or authority. He cites the
cases of some enlightened protestants
whom solicitude for salvation has
brought back to Catholicism, and he
exhorts all to return, in order that
all may have one faith, hope and
charity based on the same gospel

A correspondent Of the London
Globe vouches for the truth of a
good story of ten-year-Old courage.
An old Dutchman had sold his pos
sessions in the Cape Colony, and ac-
companied by his grandson had gone
to the country OF the Mashonas pros
pecting. He had encamped not far
from Fort Salisbury, when his herds
man brought word that a lion had
killed and partly eaten one Of the
oxen. The old man pooh-poohed the
idea. No lion would venture so near
the camp, he felt sure.
Lets go and see, said the boy.
He had heard wonderful things about
the killing Of lions The grandfather
picked up his rife, handed his car
fridge belt to the boy, and the two
set out
True enough, the carcass Of the OK
had been partly eaten. The Dutch
man and the boy beat through sew
eral patches Of dried grass, but saw
no lion. Not far off was big ant
hill.
"He might be behind that ant HILL"
suggested the boy. The man inspect
ed it on three sides, but saw nothing.
Look into that bunch of tambCo-
lie grass, said the boy.
Hardly had the man faced that
way when a splendid lioness sprang
out. She landed upon his shoulders
her weight carried him to the ground,

A Vegetable with a Pedigree.

Of all the plants used for food, there
is none which has been so long known
or has had, so to say, so distinguished
lineage as asparagus. Its record, in
TACT, reaches back to almost the COM
mencement of authentic history, as it
is mentioned by the comic poet. Cra-
tlnus, who died about 1875 years B. c.,
ana was contemporary of, though
slight older than, Aristophanes.
Among the Romans, also, the tasty
vegetable was held in high esteem.
Cato the elder-not the gentleman
who was of opinion that Plato rea-
soned well, but his great grandfather,
who insisted upon the destruction of
Carthage, and who was horn 234 years
b. C.-wrote work, which is still ex-
tant, ''De Re Rustica, and in it he

Tennesse.'s Remarkable Lake.


"Reelfoot Lake, in western Tenne-

bodies Of water in the United States, ="
said John T. York of Troy. at is
popularly supposed to have a subter-
ranean source from the Mississippi
river, it having no visible outlet or in
let, but this evidence seems to be de-
cidedly against this theory. 1 tried to
fathom it once, and while this can be
done at some places, yet there is a
considerable area in the centre where
no line has ever been found long
enough to touch bottom. 1t is not af-
fected by the rise and fall of the river.
but has tide corresponding with that
of the sea. The Oldest settlers can re-
member when the land where the
lake is now was fertile farm. One
night there was an earthquake, doing
very little damage to the surrounding
country The next morning the land
had gone and Reelfoot Lake was there,
and has been there ever since. 1t is
one Of the most noted fishing resorts
in the South. LIST. Louis GlobeDem-
