Natures Mimiory,

Curious resemblances in nature start with
the cocoanut, in many respects like the
human skull and almost fac-simile of the
monkeys. The meat Of the English wal,
nut is almost copy of the human brain,
plums and black cherries like the human
eye, almonds like the human nose, and an
opened oyster and shell perfect likeness
of the human ear. The shape of mans
body may be tracedin the mammoth squash,
the open hand in growing scrub willows
and celery, the human heart in German
turnips and eggplant, and dozens Of the
mechanical inventions of the present day
to patterns furnished by nature Thus the
hog suggested the pillow, the butterfly the
door-hinge, the frog-stool the umbrella, the
duck the ship, and the fungus growth on
trees the bracket.

IN THE HOLY sRPULCHRE.
ELEANOR c, DoNNELY.

ELEANOR c. DoNNELY.
Behind the heavy, rock-barr'd door,
Low-stretch'd upon the granite floor.
The dead Christ lies-His blessed face
Full of worldless peace and grace.
o Angels, watching near the Dead,
Loose ye the napkin from His head:
And lift the winding-sheet that wells
The dear flesh, torn by scourge and nails,
That we may creep beneath its fold.
And Loves dread recompense behold
From out each livid wound there flows
A lovely, lambent fame. that glows
Like red auroral fire. when day
Payes las with gold) the orient gray
An odorous flame, beyond compare
With spices sweet, or unguent rare.
Good friends. twas bootless work to wind
Your cere-cloths round Him, or to bind.
With shimmering lengths of linen bands
dis mangled limbs and bleeding hands!
These outstretch'd arms ye cannot close
Edfln sltllcEs ulcTC ullst SEEK IGpOSt.
This hearts red wound ye dare not hide,
Earth's saints must in its depths abidel
Andat these feet, tho swathed in gloom
Earth's myriad mourners must find room.
O Love nor shrond, nor cerements white
Can shut Thee from our longing sight
D Lovel nor guard, nor sealed door
Can keep us from Thee! On the floor,
Like creeping thing. we come to kiss
Thine ev'ry wound. With tender bliss
ofgushing tears and heart-wrung signs,
We worship where Thy dear corpse lies.
And clasp Thy feet, all bruised and torn.
And, like to Magdalen forlorn,
Await Thy Resurrection morn.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1894-03-24

recognizes Albert Rutherford and as the
last rays of the setting sun pass from view
the long separated lovers stand side by
side, their faces rejecting the joy which
has taken possession of their lives. Esther
weeps upon the neck of her beloved, but
not because of sorrow.
In manner peculiar to himself Albert
relates his story and closes by saying =
ESTHER, thou whom | love even as | love
my own soul, will you share with me the
fortune which / have gained and be mine
forevermore ?"
One look at her eyes is all the answer
necessary, but as she throws herself into
his arms her words fall like the dews of
the early morning upon his heart :-"All
I have and all ! am is yours"
The little church bell in Rockport rings
out the hour of six and the worshippers
flock to the early service of Easter morn
ing. One by one the pews are filed and
at last only standing room remains. The
service is full of pleasant memories and
the Rector tells in plaintive words the story
of the resurrection morn.
At the close of the service the little
organ peals forth the joyous strains OF a
wedding march and under the arch of lilies
above the door enters bridal party. Lean
ing upon the arm of Albert Rutherford is
Esther Stockton, and their faces are all
aglow from the happiness within their
hearts. Slowly they pass up the aisle and
are met at the chancel rail by the Rector,
who in an impressive manner performs the
marriage ceremony which links the hearts
Of this loving pair. As they pass from the
church into the street carriage rolls up
to the pavement and the two enter it.
Once shut in from the gaze of the throng
the words of Esther pleasantly fall upon
the ears of her husband :-"0h, Albert,
how full of Joy is my long.saddened heart.
The fact that we are never more to be sep
arated until death shall claim one of us fills
my heart with gratitude. Truly this is
the happiest day of my life-the fullest
Faster have ever known"

The sweet spring breezes sigh.

The violets reply.
I'VE love Him and adore Him
Through all the happy days,
And beautiful before Him
We light the fragrant ways
Then all the flowers singing,
And turning towards the light
Send happy praises ringing
From valley and from height
They, sinless ones aud holy.
Sing anthems TO the Lord.
They come with tribute lowly.
As witness Of His word.
Consider us, and wonder"

What a woodpile Indicates.

What satisfaction it is to see gener-
Gus, whole souled woodpile! 1t gives one

up rich food of memories and associa-
tions. One has no need 10 be told that

and girls, and that the neighbors ike to

ter evenings, when the snow and wind out

within.
One has no need to call on the imagi-
nation to see the great pile of extra logs in
the corner, waiting tn cir turn at the fiery
carnival, dancing and glowing in the fire.
place, or the half circle of merry story tel
lers gathered about the hearth, eating ap-
pies and cracking nuts and exchanging
experiences of farming and hunting with
each other.
What an open, large hearted hospitality
such profusion of wood suggests 1t never
occurs to one that the owner may be mig
garaly or churlish. Such pile of wood
can only belong to man whose heart is
large enough to take in the whole neigh
Dor hood.
But what contrast is the woodpile
across the way Ia few sticks that even
the house dog refuses to sleep behind.
No wonder the boys are thin and sickly
and the girls weak and discontented. One
can scarcely imagine smile, or bit of
laughter, or a jest passing through door
that overlooks such pile.

plant the earliest and the best Seed Potatoes
they can buy. To do this, they must plant the
EARLY SIX WEEKS.

would plant this potato they would always
get their crops in market in time to get Seven
and Eight Dollars per barrel. This potato
grows SO quickly that the Esquimau would
almost have time to mature potato crop.
ln the South, two full crops can be grown IN
one season. In size tbs large and handsome.
We planted the EARLY SIX WEEKS the
last two seasons, selling our crop for $500

CHAPTER II.

The next morning finds our hero on
board the first train which moves out of
the little station at Rockport. Though
saddened by the loss which he has sus-
tanned, yet he takes hope in the fact that
all may yet end well. Onward speeds the
train and, as station after station is passed,
the home of his boyhood days is left miles
behind. He carries the whole of his pos
sessions in little satchel which occupies
position under the seat on which he rests
his weary body He believes, however,
that he will be able to secure work in the
large city to which he is now coming nearer
and nearer. As the train pulls into tie
station at the end of his journey he quickly
rises and leaves the car Following the
passengers as they pass down the street
from the station he finds himself in one Of
the business sections of the city. After
refreshing himself at a lunch room he at
once goes to the task which he had mapped
out for himself Store after store is en-
tered, but his application for position as
clerk meets with no success. He does not

In the House.
The supplemental Tariff Bills.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16-The events Of
the day did not make clearer the probable
result of the efforts on the part of the SEN
ate TO follow tho lead of the house in try
ing TO secure the passage OF the supple
mental tariff bills.
The first supposition after Senator
Harris offered his motion 20 refer the bills
to the finance committee was that he was
acting for united party, but il was prov
ed that the Democratic senators were very
much divided upoon this question. 1t ap-
pears that the Republicans will also di-
vide upon tho motion, but q majority of
thom will oppose It, The situation may
be still further complicated today by the
withdrawal of the Harris motion. Wheth-
or the bills 20 to the committee or arc
considered on their merits without ref
erence they VIII be bitterly fought
There is no purpose on tho part of the
senators who are opposing them to allow
a vote TO be taken When the fight begins
I'm earnest, ,the bills will DO resisted by ev-
cry means known to parliamentary tao
tics-by long speeches, amendments and
dilatory motions Of kinds Senator Hills

come tax was followed by Senator Quay
with amendments which include the en-
tire Mckinley law.
Others OF "a like nature viii follow. The
conservatives Will move indefinite post
ponement They will try to prevent tho
senators from the western mining states
from voting for free sugar by amending
the bill SO as to provide for free lead ore,
1t is thought that the resort to these
tactics for few days will convince all Of
the futility at this late day Of the effort
to pass the bills. and that it may be aban-
doned. They also count upon the speedy
disappearance of quorum. Several Re
publican senators have left the city, and
others will follow. Some of the Demo-
cratic senators are also preparing to go.
Consequently It is predicted that after to-
day and at latest Friday there will not be
sufficient number Of senators in the city
TO transact business. In that event It is
believed that any effort would be made to
compel attendance, but all business OK
