Ornamental Native Plants.

A we'll known horticultural writer
says that he cannot understand why
our native wild grape is not more used
in cultivated gardens, and mentions the
bittersweet, so beautiful in berry and
foliage, as one of the best of vines
Certainly it is a pity that such a really
fine vine as the wild grape should not
be found in every garden, for as a
suitable material for covering insight
ly fencing, stumps of old trees, sum-
mer- houses and trellises it is most ad-
mirably adapted The common wild
rose makes fine addition to any gar
den, and is used with the best effect
If allowed to grow undisturbed on a
fence, or if kept in bush form by cut
ting back Being extremely hardy, it
is practically a sure bloomer. Wild
clematis, both white and red, is valu-
able used in rough places, as is also
the wild honeysuckle, although the foil
age of the latter seems to be very much
subject to leaf-eating insects. Golden
rod and wild asters can be used for
various corners, and will add much to
the attractiveness of the home grounds
All of the above plants can be trans
planted in the fall. and if their native
conditions are copied closely they
should thrive.-Woman's Home Com

AFTER THE BATTLE.
His Only Regret Was That He
Had Missed Go Much

1t was the evening after the Fourth, as
the glorious sun was sinking to its
gorgeous couch of red and white clouds
and blue sky, and the small boy, packed
in cotton, lint and a splint or two, was
lying with his face to the west, while
his father sat by his side tanning him
He was doing as well as could be ex-
pected and was already able to talk
says the Washington star.
Papa" he said, in a dreamy, languor-
Gus tone, did they have Fourth OF
July when you was a little boy?"
"Oh, yes, my son. answered the
father.
Just the same kind they have now?''
Just the same''
And did you celebrate when you was
little boy?"
Yes, but I was more careful than
you were, and didn't get hurt So"
Il guess you didn't have much fun,
did you?" he asked, trying to turn to-
ward his father
The father looked at the combination
of bandages and boy on the bed and
smiled
Il thought I did, but perhaps I was
mistaken he replied.
At this point the doctor came in and
made it unpleasant for the boy for
some minutes. Then he went away and
the boy shifted awhile and resumed
conversation with his father

patriotic pride.

"And how long since it started?" per-
sisted the boy, who should have been

A shade of disappointment swept over
the boys face.

What are disagreeable missiles?'' the

They are eggs that smell very bad

"Oh, would I were boy again.
When life seemed formed Of
sunny years,
And all the heart then knew of pain

Swarming in the apple trees:

Laughter running like a rill
Down the hickory shaded hill;

then,
My fancy deemed was only truth;
Oh would that / could know again
The happy visions of my YOUTH
All the friendships of the time
Running on past manhood'S prime:
Colonel, Judge and Commodore
Just the boys they were of yore;
Dream OF bridal loveliness-
Sweetheart in her schoolgirl dress:
Everything that could not be-
Faith and Hope and Love could see
Outlined in Futurity.
'Twere vain to mourn that years

How false those fairy visions
Or murmur that mine eyes have
known
The burthen of single tear"
Heads of sunny gold and brown
Decked with Honor's silver crown;
Eyes of brown and gray and blue
Oriel windows looking through:
Songs that gladdened days of old
Changed to voices strange or cold:
Dreams that famed the morning bright,
Ashes in the evening light;
And the dust is resting on
Lips that kissed and eyes that shone.
'But still the heart will fondly
cling
To hopes no longer priced as
truth
And memory still delights to bring
The happy visions of my youth.
Softer than the dreaming time.
Vesper bells of evening chime
All the visions morning blessed
Glow in splendor in the West:
Love lives on forever young:
Hope still sings, with sweeter tongue:
All the old joys come again:
Faith is clearer now than then:
Bring tomorrow what it may
In its heart lives yesterday!

Requiem of the Sea.

Fear not to sleep
Thy shroud is woven of heavens tears,
The tall stars
Are the blessed candles
Burning at thy head;
The drifting mist of the ocean,
The incense; the holy song
The wind that whispers its responses
To the deep intoning of the sea;
The stars and winds and waters
Say mass forever for thy soul,
Fear not to sleep
These waves were once
The pathway of our Lord

delegates in Holland have strenuously
contended for what they regarded as
right, or at least were instructed by
their several Governments to regard as
right, they have managed, somehow
even in peace conference to keep the
peace, and the council adjourned with
out any more serious consequences to
its members than those following long
beating of sound waves up the ,tym-
panum of the international ear. Would
a religious peace conference be able to
adjourn with interdenominational tenn
pers unruffied and with its delegates
falling upon each others necks? But
let US imagine such convention held
before all possible delegates reach the
City of the New Jerusalem, could its
members agree upon convention
which would be of any practical utility
in a disarmament of prejudice, and an
arbitration, not of principles and be-
liefs, but of the manner of propagating
them?'
AS a protagonist of infidelity," says
the "Congregationalist'' of Boston, Mr.
Ingersoll had had far less weight dur
ing the last generation than many men
less known and more orthodox in repu-
tation. During the period when
science and religion were arrayed
against each other he never took wea-
pons from science, as he might have
done-whether through ignorance or in
difference, who can say?-and he
seemed strangely oblivious in his last
days to the fact that Henry Drummond
pointed out in the 'Expositor' for 1885
that whereas it was true that the Bible
of our fancy was not an apologist's BIZ
BILE, there are things in the Old Testa-
ment cast in the teeth by sceptics to
which he has simply no answer which
things, to quote Drummond again, are
the stock-in- trade of the free-thought
platform and the secularist pamph-
leteer' Now the situation has changed,
and when science makes its next at
tack upon theology, if indeed it ever
shall be again, it will find an arma-
ment, largely furnished by itself, which
had made the Bible as impregnable as
nature How ignorant of or Indifferent

AGED CASHIER is ATTACKED:

Patterns bank at Palatine, ILL.,, was beat

whose purpose is thought to have been

ed from carrying out his supposed plan
to rob the bank by Henry rlaggc, an
aged farmer, who entered the place inn
mcdiately after the cashiers bleeding

hammer repeatedly. but the aged man
fought for his life. Plagse wrcnellol the
hammer from his antagonists hand and
the stranger than drew IL revolver. In
the struggle between the two men for this
weapon it was discharged and Llwton
was shot in the abdomen.
Lawton was then seized by townspco-
pie who had heard the sounds OF the
struggle and the cries of the wounded
men. Hid told the village authorities that
he had come to take the life of the bank
cashier because he had broken up his
(Lawton's) home in New York five years
ago. The townspeoplc do not believe this

The Chicago Fall Festival Mas BE
Abandoned.
A Chicago correspondent declares that
it is thought by those OH the inside of .lc
fall festival management that the entire
!!cffair will have to be abandoned. Wlietll-
or the labor trouble will prevent the Fed
eral corner stone exercises on Chicago
day is problematical. The corner stone
committee proposes to be able to arrange
matters so the Chicago day exercises will
be carried out on the grand scale design
ed, and it is thought this can he done.
But whether the corner stone exercises
come off or not it is generally admitted
that the fall festival is dead.
The labor interests made the demand
that Mr.. T'ruaX withdraw as the head of
the celebration. His withdrawal and the
cutting of Il new stone by union labor are
the conditions which the unions made to
the discontinuance of their opposition to
the festival. They declared that if MIR.
sITruaN would resign and a new conner
stone was cut and placed by union labor.
they would hold in allegiance their fight
on Contractor Peirce as to future stone
work on the Government building until
after the corner stone and festival cello.

1t was officially announced i'll Par's
Tuesday that Dreyfus' pardon had been
agreed upon in principle, but that it
would not be signed for several days,
owing to formalitics. Drcyfus agreed to
irelinqnish his appeal for 81 reversal of
the Judgment of the court martial which
recently convicted him of treason and
sentenced him to ten years Imprisonment.
This action on the part of the prisoner is
regarded as practically giving up his fight
for rehabilitation and complete establish
mcnt of his innocence.
: This unusual course is IL part of the
general policy Of amnesty adopted by the
present Government, and is the logical
outcome of the homogeneous verdict. The
health of Drcyfus is as prccarious us
ever. He can live only a few years.
1T is understood that Drcyfus will go
to England with his family. there to
spend the remainder of his life, or ut
least to rest and rccuperate his broken
health. 1t is sail that Nine. Dreyfus
