The rhododendrons are not bush-like
as In this country but real trees with
most lovely red flowers. They have
somewhat long stems, and then a

GREELrGY'S WAYS WITH VICTUAI,S


One of the most remarkable traits
which characterized Horace Greeley
was his complete absorption in the
duties Of the moment When hard at
work, he would forget all about his
meals, and gradually he fell into the
habit of depending on one of his as
sistants to keep on the lookout for him
in this respect. The editor would call
out, Jones, have l had my dinner
yet?' and Jones would give him the
correct answer
Once, while at the house of leading
politician, Greeley had been having
heated discussion, when his hosts wife
invited him to partake Of some re-
freshment. Without needing what he
was doing, Horace seized a plate OF
crullers, and emptying it's contents on
his lap, continued the discussion,
munching a cruller now and then until
he had finished the lot.
His kind-hearted hostess, fearing
that in the absorption Of the moment
Mr.. Greeley had eaten so many crullers
as to make himself i'll, and having been
told that cheese in moderation is
capital digester, handed him a small
plate of cheese, hoping that he would
take a bite or two and thus indirectly
and unconsciously counterfeit the effect
of the crullers. But Greeley, in his
excitement, treated the cheese as he
had treated the crullers. Finally all
the cheese disappeared, to the astonish-
ment and alarm Of the sympathetic
hostess.
A few moments later, the discussion
having ended, she was astonished to
hear Mr.. Greeley evidently uncou-
scious Of all he had deyoured, deliver
an eloquent harang on the virtues Of
graham Or brown bread, and denounce
with vlgor the pernicious fondness OF
Americans for cheesel Youths Com

A Vision of Home.
BY Il, PATCH,


o! 1t was scene saw, in fan ,y, IN my dream,
With here old home, AID there the sward
Where blue eyed voilets teemed;
And here the climbing roses grew,
That bloomed about the door,
From whence song 50 dear tn me, of home,
Came waiting DER.
And here the seat all ivy clad where mother
used to sit,
And close at hand old orchard glad
With blooms of white was lit.
Twas early summers verdant time and
rythmed drone of bees
Flashed back in chords from silken wings,
Their music on the breeze.
And there adown the lane, came trooping one
by one
The cows, with spot in lead the others TO-
lowing on.
In fancy too, stopped and picked the clover S
damp with dew
And gave IL them morsel rare.
As they passed on from view.
Only a glimpse of dear old home, in fancy in
my dream,
Only sunbeam penciled on life's tide
between,
little picture of youths spring time can e
waiting by my way
Twas only this in dreamland seen, while
fast asleep I lay.
