Three White Roses.

Three white roses filled the air
with sweetness-three white roses,
strong stemmed, long and leafy, with
petals of waxen fneness and velvet
softness. They swayed in the tall,
clear glass that held them. They
shone against the dull red of the wall
against which they were placed with
a sort of radiance. They seemed
more than mere flowers. They We're
angelic messengers.
She sat and watched them through
her long lashes. She was like them
slender, 1.-the and strong, cold and
beautiful. The white gown that she
wore was clasped with a cord the
color of the leaves. Her small, we'll
poised head was set upon hen neck
with the grace of one Of the blossoms
on its stem. She watched them with
an inscrutable expression on her face.
1t was almost as though she were of
their race and were listening to them
speaking for her ear alone.
A sudden breeze passed through
the room. A waXen petal fell from
a rose. She started suddenly from
her reverie. She smiled contemp-
tuously as she moved from the chair.
"Three white roses!" she mumured.
Three white roses! And roses only

The day the outer lines of Peters
burg were carried and the troops
were closing up upon the inner lines
the general halted near a house on a
piece of elevated ground which over
looked the ield. The position was
under fire, and the enemy's batteries
seemed to pay particular attention to
the spot, noticing perhaps the group
of officers collected there and believ-
ing that some Of the Union com
manders among them.
The general was engaged in writ
ing some dispatches and paid no at
tention whatever to the shots falling
about him. Members of the staff re-
marked that the place was becoming
a target and suggested that he move
to q less conspicuous position, but he
seemed to pay no attention to the adj
vice given. After he had finished his
dispatches and taken another view
OF the enemy's works, he quietly
mounted his horse and rode slowly
to another part of the field, remark.

All rivers, small or large, agree in
n character-they like. to lean Tit.
tie on one side. They cannot bear to
have their channels deepest in the
middle, but will always, if they can,
have one bank to sun themselves up
on and another to get cool under; one
shingly shore to play over, where
they may be shallow and foolish and
childlike, and another steep shore UNI
der which they can pause and purify
themselves and get their strength of
waves fully together for due occa-
sions. Rivers in this way are Just
like wise men, who keep one side of
their lives for play and another for
work and can be brilliant and chat
tering and transparent when they
are at ease, and yet take deep coun-
sci on the other side when they get
themselves to the main purpose.

Got an Under Berth.

General Cogswell of Massachusetts is
one of the heaviest members of the
house. He is also II of the shrewdest
statesmen in Washington, and he sell
dom has to take an upper berth in a
sleeping car. When once he discovered
that he had drawn an upper berth in a
Pullman, he wanted to know whether
the car was new and in good repair.
"The reason l want to know, ''he said
Ill a loud voice, els because I had a
rough experience last night and night
before on one of your cars They put
me in an upper berth, and both times it
gave way IL the middle of the night and
let me down on the n N underneath.
I've got an upper berth this trip, and l
don't care to have the thing happen
again. You see, I'm a little heavier than
the ordinary run, and it's no joke"
The other passengers began to prick
up their ears and look around. A half
dozen Of them asked the fat gentleman
what the number of his berth might be-,
and OH his announcing it the timid &C.
cupant of the berth underneath proposed,
with a great show of courtesy, that it
would be a good thing to swap, and the
exchange was made with glee on both
sides. New York Press.

Some Of The most dangerous tricks
of animals are those of Stimulating
kindness. Charles Montague, in
Tales of a Nomad, says that hyenas
often follow lions and finish a car
cass the moment the lions have left
it. Sometimes, however, the hyenas
+ too eager and steal bits of meat
while the lions are still at their meal.
Il have been told that the lion ribs
himself of the nuisance in the follow
ing way: He throws a piece of meat
aside. When the lion is looking the
other way, the hyena lodges in and
rushes off with the meat. Presently
the lion throws another piece of
meat, this time a little nearer The
hyena takes that also. AT last the
lion throws a piece very near indeed.
The hyena, having become reckless,
makes a dash at this also, but the
lion wheels round and lays him low
with a pat of his paw and a growl of
annoyance.
81 remember at the Usutu on one
occasion hearing at night the cries of
a hyena in pain, mingled with an oc-
c%asional short growl from a lion.
This went on for about 90 minutes.
The next morning we found the car
cass of a hyena bitten across the
neck and marked by the claws of
lions. They had evidently caught it
and played with it some time before
killing it. suppose this was done
in revenge for the annoyance they
had sustained from the hyenas."

they are building character. 1 believe
the only way to get to heaven is by US
ing the channels given by God through
his church."
A dissonant chord wac struck when
Rev. J. Burrows OF Santa Ana took ex-
reption to the stand taken by the gen.
tleman who had read the essay. He
contended that the sgcrsmental charac.
ter existed before the Oxford movement
and will continue to exist after that
movement has ceased to exist. The
Roman Catholic church. he maintained,
Ia not apostolic, and until the errors
sff1icting it are abated they can have
little or nothing in common with the
Protestant Episcopal church. Said he: :
Episcopal means apostolic. and the
name ought to remain as an eternal
protest against the errors that have
crept into the Roman Catholic church."
Rev. Jos. Gray OF St. PauPs spoke of
the attitude of the early church In
America and the fear then existing Of
outraging the feelings of the strong Pu-
ritanic tincture, and on the other hand
of bordering too closely on the Roman
Catholic church. Abiding to the teach
ing OF students in the divinity schools
OF the dissenting bodies, he remarked
that they were taught that Christianity
commenced at the reformation, with
little existing behind that time. Sew
sral others of the clergy spoke before
adjournment at O'Clock.
