promised this little girl for a dress.
This was quite an expensive dress then,
for calico was sold at one dollar q
yard, and was not easy to get even at
that price. When the soldier took this
calico and threw it across his horse
and rode away, the little girl cried 80
hard that a young officer heard her.
He hurried into the store, but the little
girl could not tell why che cried. a
neighbor, a young girl of twenty hur'
ried across the street, and told tne
officer that a soldier had taken the
calico intended for the little girls
dress. The off ,er called the men to
Haiti" Hs demanded that the man
who had *aken the calico should bring
it to him. A big, burly soldier got of
his horse, and, looking ashamed, hand
ed the booty to his officer, who, with a
bow. gave it to the little girl, Sac
could hardly believe her good fortune
when she held the calico in her arms.
This young officer became the Cele
brated General Joe" Wheeler. When
war broke out between the United
States and Spain, General Wheeler
was one of the first men to cffer his
services.-The Outlook.

THE LITTLE GIRL AND HER
DRESS.

DIring the Civil War there was a
town in Tennessee that became very
familiar with both the Union aud the
Confederate armies. Sometimes the
town was under the control of one.s and
sometimes Of the other. The town had
an equal number Of Union and Con.
federate sympathizers who named the
principal streets JefD Wis and Lincoln
Streets; the people living on these
streets took this way of expressing
their attachments.
E Ich army, as it passed through the
town, took from it's enemies all it could
get. Sometimes the soldiers mede
mistakes, and took from their friends

o KNOWS sEST.

Sometime when all life's lessons have
been learned
And sun and stars forever more have
set
The things which weak judgments
here have spurned,
The things DER which We grieve with
lashes wet,
Will flash before US out Of LIES dark
night,
As stars shine most in deeper tints
of blue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans
were right,
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see how while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and
me,
How when we called He needed not
III Cry
Because His wisdom to the end could
see,
And even as prudent parents disallow
Too much sweet TO craving baby
hood.
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us
now
Life's sweetest things because it
seemeth good.
Aud if some time, CO mingled with
lite's wine,
We find the NORWOOD and rebel
and shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or
mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to
drink.
And il someone we love is lying low,
the face,
o, do not blame the loving Father so,
But year your sorrow with obedient
grace.
And you will shortly know that length
ened breath
Is MT the sweetest gift God gives
His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail of
death
Conceals the faireEt boon His love
can send
II we could push aj4r the gates Of life
And stand within, and all Gods
workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery could find a
key.
But not to day. Then be content, poor
heart,
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and
white unfold,
We must not tear the close shut leaves
apart,
Time will reveal the caly xes Of gold.
And If through patient toll we reach
the land
Where tired feet with sandals loose,
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and I'M

think that we will say-"God knew

tributor to all the leading periodicals
which make a speciality Of Horticulture.
This book is a thoroughly practical
treatise devoted mainly to the care and
culture of the commoner kinds of
flowers. The author tells what kinds
of plants to choose, how to care for
them, all about soil, watering, light,
temperature, and how to guard against
injury by insects of various kinds
There r chapters also on fowers for
the lawn, how to arrange them to the
the best advantage, the laying out of
the lawn, a chapter on table decora
ration, and, in fact such information as
any person who cares for flowers
should have at hand for direction and
reference. While the subject is quite
thoroughly covered, the language used
is plain, simple and free from any tech
nicalities, and cannot fail to be most
interesting and instructive. The book
contains 175 pages.
Another book, BOTANY THE
STORY OF PLANT LIFE" by Julia Mac
