Daintiness in the Home.

1t costs no more to keep pretty things
in order than it does to care for china
and pressed glass, says the Troy Press.
True, it costs more to buy fine napery
and crockery, but inexpensive and taste.
full things are to be found as easily as
cheap and coarse ones. In one house
hold where heavy reverses have come
everything is as beautiful in its way as
of old. Instead of the city house there
is now the country cottage, and where
three maids did the homework it is now
performed by the mother and daughter.
The washing is done out Of the house,
and once week a woman comes in to
scrub. There are no more course din
ners, but the cooking is delicious. The
table linen is as fine as ever, and the cut
glass and solid silver, while not so abun
dant, have finer lustre and polish than
when servants cared for them. While
there is less luxury than of yore there
is quite as much refinement, and an air
os homelike daintiness pervades the
whole house. The husband and father
coming home at night finds his home as
pretty and his family as bright and
cheerful as before their losses came.
They have learned the great art of max
ing the best of what is. and of believing
it to be the best.

THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS,

According to ancient tradition At
lantis was the name of large island, or
continent, which existed at very early
period in the Atlantic Ocean, and
eventually was sunk beneath its waves.
The first account of it is given in the
writings of Plato. His statement was
that in the Atlantic OCEAN, over against
the Pillars OF Hercules, there was once
an island which was larger than Asia
and Africa together, and near it lay
other islands through which there was
passage to large continent beyond.
Nine thousand years before Plato's time,
said the tradition, the island of Atlantis
was thickly settled and very powerful.
1t held sway over Africa as far as Egypt,
and over large part of Europe, but the
advance of its conquering power was
checked by the valor of the Greeks. At
last during violent earthquake, which
lasted day and night and was &C.
companied by foundations of the ocean,
the island was wholly submerged by the
waves. For many years after this the sea
in this part was altogether unnavigable
by reason Of shoals caused by the sunken
lands. This ancient legend may have
had some historical circumstances for
foundation, but what these were no his
torian has ever been able to determine.
Some modern writer's have supposed
that the lost Atlantis was a part of the
American continent, where are now the
Gulf of Mexico and the West Indies. was
at some remote period submerged by
water, the highest points of the land
being the West India, and Bahama
Islands. The many traces of very re-
mote civilization found by the Spanish
discoveries in what are now Central and
South America are thought to give color
to the belief that the western continent
once extended so far into the ocean that
communication between it and the old
world was possible, even to the unskilled
navigators of ancient times.

LOVE OF COUNTRY.
BY THE LATE PRESIDENT, JAMES A. GAR
FIELD.

IL silence is ever golden, it must be
here beside the graves Of fifteen thou
sand men, whose lives we're more signifi.
cant than speech, and whose death was
poem the music of which can never be
sung. With words, we make promises,
plight faith, praise virtue. Promises
may not be kept; plighted faith may be
broken, and Wanted virtue be only the
cunning mask of vice. We do not know
one promise these men made, one pledge
they gave, one word they spoke; but we
do know they summed up and perfected,
by one supreme act, the highest virtues
of men and citizens. For love of country
they accepted death, and in that act
they resolved all doubts, and made i'm
mortal their patriotism and their vir-
tue.
For the noblest man that lives there
still remains a conflict. He must still
withstand the assaults of time and for
tune; must still be assaulted by tempta-
tions before which lofty natures have
fallen. But with these the conflict was
ended, the victory was won, when death
stamped on them the great seal of heroic
character, and closed a record which
years can never blot.
The faith of our people in the stability
and permanence of their institutions
was like their faith in the eternal
course of nature. Peace. liberty and
personal security were blessings as com.
mon and universal as sunshine and
showers and faithful seasons; and all
sprang from single source-the prin-
ciple declared in the Pilgrim covenant
OF 1620--that all owed due submission
and obedience to the lawfully expressed
will of the majority, This is not one of
the doctrines of our political system-it
is the system itself. 1t is our political
armament, in which all other truths are
set, as stars in the heavens. 1t is the
encasing air, the breath of the nations
life. Against this principle the whole
weight of the rebellion was thrown. Its
over throw would have brought such
ruin as might follow in the physical uni
verse, if the power of gravitation were
destroyed.
love to believe that no heroic sacri-
flee is ever lost. That the characters of
men are nodded and inspired by what
their fathers have done-that treasured
up in American souls are all the uncon-
scious influences of the great deeds of
the Anglo Saxon race, from Agincourt
to Bunker Hill. 1t was an influence
that led young Greek two thousand
years ago, when he heard the news of
Marathon, to exclaim: "The trophies
Of Miltiades will not let me Sleep"

up all the cherished purposes of life-its
aims and ambitions, it's dearest affec-
tions-and flung all, with life itself. into
the scales of battle.
