They Are Often Neither Healthy, Wealthy
Nor Wise.
The lazy young persons who enjoy
the extra snooze in the morning hours
that all too frequently they have great
difficulty in securing will probably rise
up and call us blessed when we an
nounce that their preference shows
rare discretion backed up by some sound
professional wisdom. Getting up early
in the morning is to be commended as
necessity rather than a benefit. Ply
sicians and scientists agree that sleep in
the morning is healthful and restorative,
and that children and nervous or deli
cate persons should never be Weakened
until sleep leaves them of its own accord.
This is all right and as 1t should be,
but the necessity exists for early rising,
and, therefore, must be met Unpleas-
ant as it is, there is no alternative for
the great masses of the people. If one
would prosper in business or any occu-
patton whatever it is necessary to be
ON hand betimes in the morning. Why
not, then, simply treat it as an impera-

making people healthy, wealthy and
wise? There are constitutions and tenn
peraments that are never at their best
when deprived of a morning sleep. Ro-
bust and energetic people are fond of
stirring up whole families with early
rising ideas. They experience no incon-
venience and take it as matter of
course that no one else should.
Early rising is we'll enough provided
one can rest at some other portion Of
the day, but the hours of darkness were
made for sleep. aud as time for the most
part is pretty evenly divided into day
and night it shows that nature knew
quite well what she was about when she
arranged things. People have lived,
dourished and grown healthy, wealthy
and wise who got up at noon and went
to bed just before daylight, but this is
by no means natural, nor is it approved
by those who have made the subject of
life and health profound study. New

REMINISCENT.

I'm only rock, a big black rock,
Standing alone by the sea,
With no one near my story to hear.
I'm as lonesome as lonesome can be.
I'm only rock, a grim old rock,
Watching the waves on the shore,
The sharer for years in the joys and fears
OF maidens and youths by the score.
I'm only rock, barren old rock,
Sick of such tales of love,
And almost groan, though IN only stone,
When they swear by the stars above.
I'm only rock, bleak old rock,
But know a thing or two
Whether made at night or in broad daylight
Such pledges are seldom true
I'm only rock, q strange old rock,
Dreading the summer once more,
When in their glory they II tell the old story
have heard so often before.
I'm only rock, deserted old rock,
Half buried in snow and sand,
Sport Of the sea when the wind blows free,
My weary vigil l stand.
James T. Sullivan in Boston Globe.

CROWNED At OLYMPIA.
Honors Paid to the victors In the Grecian
Athletic Contests.

Honors Paid to the Victors In the Grecian
Athletic Contests.
Immediately after each contest the
successful athlete appeared before the
judges and received palm branch, and
his name was heralded before the as
sembled throng. But at the close of all
the contests, ON the final day of the fes-
tival, the much coveted prizes were dis
tributed. Into the altis at early morn
ing streamed the long, joyous procession,
headed by the judges. the religious and
civil authorities, and the public guests,
escorting the now brilliantly clad ath-
letes and victorious horses bedecked with
flowers. The song they sang was song
Of victory by Archdiocese. which began;
Hail to thee, powerful Hercules, con-
queror in the games and to thee also,
Iolaus, both famed for the spearl Te-
nella, tenellal All hail to the victorl"
A little boy from the priestly class
had already cut with "a golden knife
some branches from tie olive tree plant
ed by Hercules, and crowns made from
these branches had been exposed in the
temple Of Hera upon beautiful chrys-
elephantine table made by Colotes. The
crowns were then brought to the temple
of Zeus, where, before the representa-
tiyes of all Greece. the judges, clad in
purple, crowned the heads of the victori-
GUS athletes. This olympic crown, as
the supreme reward Of Greek ambition,
is well expressed in the story of dag
Oras. Himself victor in the games, he
returned in his old age to Olympia with
his two sons. Both bore off prize, and
then ran and caught their father on
their shoulders as the crowd of pilgrims
pelted them with flowers. ''Die, dag
oras, F" they cried, ''for thou hast moth
ing more to live forP' With sigh Of
joy the old man expired.
The browning Of Olympia did not end
the victors' glory. Their statues were
made by the most famous sculptors, their
portraits painted by the most skillful
artists, their deeds gloriied in verse.
They were Toasted and maintained at
public expense, received seats of honor
at the theater and were cherished as
gods In the hearts of their countrymen.
AS Pindar has well expressed it, ''He
that overcometh hath, because of the
games, a sweet tranquility throughout
his life forevermore. 1.-The Old Olym-
pic Games, by Professor Allan Mar
quand, in Century.

Does Asparagus Need saltq

William Falconer. Long Island, writ
ing to Rural New Yorker, says:
Asparagus for market is largely grown
by the farmers in this vicinity in fact,
it is one Of our chief money crops We
are in the town of Oyster Bay, and the
Oyster Bay brand Of grass is the lead
ing favorite in the New York market.
But salt as fertilizer for asparagus is
not sasod hsz f Se.sraneaz..--as
Know. Our proximity to the seaside
Long Island sound-probably renders its
application unnecessary. Ihave tried it,
however, on a part of our beds by way
OF experiment, but without any appar-
emit benefit to the crop. Some idea of
how much salt asparagus will stand
with impunity may be learned from the
fact that spontaneous seedlings come up
all along the seashore in the sand, and
where extra high tides sometimes wash
over them, and they live all right. Nj
trate of soda, in quite light dressings,
and these repeated twice in spring, gave
us the best results. A complete ferti-
lizer" was also good.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUG. il. 1856
Auroras In the Arctic Regions.

The light was lessening day by
dav. though the beauty of this ice
world did not waue. I think I nev-
er felt the strength, the glory, Of
silence so wildly as on the Goth Of
the month, standing on rocky
height above the bay Across the
heavens beautiful auroras streamed
at frequent intervals in colors Of
faint orange green and blue, scarce
~ dimming the myriads Of brilliant
stars that glittered in the deep blue
vault which lightened to turquoise
at the horizon Majestic cliffs swept
away across the bay, with its shad-
owy greeniah blue bergs. al bathed
in one shimmering veil OF transpal-
emit gold from the light OF the moon.
In a silence that made the beating
of the heart and the pulsation OF the
blood In the veins seem almost audi
Bile WAS suddenly attracted by a
peculiar, occasional cracking sound.
Presently the sound came very near,
and turning I perceived a yellowish
white object about 3 feet in length,
steadily approaching, the little crea-
t1re gradually circled about, until ii
paused 10 feet away. As l had re-
NAMED mouonless, its curiosity led
it TO sit down upon It's launches and
deliberately stare al me. Twice 1t
seated itself, and then, running be-
hind bowlder, peeped over the
edge, until, satisfied or alarmed. it
disappeared. 1t was an arctic fox.

by its presence.-St. Louis Republic.

There are many fishes which hi

Such fishes in captivity are more

and require then much less food, but
as the warmer season, with warmer
