TyRnINo AND oRINDINo.

We have our little fallings-out and arr
guments and such.
And then we make it up again; they
don't amount to much.
But on one subject, anyhow, we're all
Of the same mind;
We all Of as don't want to turn, and
all do Tlnt to grind.
I've heard about a grindstone Of
labor-saVlng kind
It only takes one person to turn it and
to grind.
You work a treadle with your foot,
the same as mother sews,
And a fellow don't mind turning when
he's grinding, suppose
But ours is not that kind Of one; It
aint that we're asleep,
But moneys scarce and hard to get,
and elbow-grease is cheap
Where there's half a dozen elbows
that are half the time In sight,
Though mother puts on patches, !
AVoAoAi every AA6hbs
Boys" father said. the other day.
"one thing you've got to learn,
We can't all do the grinding, for some
body must turn.
OF course I'd like you all to be as smart
as folks are made.
Put II isn't very likely that you viii
be. I'm afraid
"And there's very few so stupid that
they really couldn't earn
Themselves an honest living, II they'd
just agree to turn.
By all means try for grinding, but own
it II you find
That you can do the turning but amt
smart enough to grind"
When father talks. he says 1t. He likes
to do things out.
/ see him smiling, sometimes, at the
things he thinks about
When he comes in from the plow-feld,
be don't tell you how he aches.
He tells you something queer he's seen,
Of birds, Or beasts, or snakes.
It's only In the winters we have time
20 go to school,
But we zig at It, tell you, and hope
In not a fool.
And the thing We talk the most about,
the thing we hope TO do,
In a race that's free to every one, is
what I'm coming to.
Wen keep cur eyes vide open; IL we're
only At to turn,
Wen look for the best way there is,
and that's the one wen learn.
But think how mother and father a feel
II they should one day find
That every single son they had was
smart enough to grind.

Humanity Of Lincoln


II was President LincolR's intense
love for his fellow men that led him
10 disapprove Of the findings Of court
martial. whenever there was a possl-
BILE excuse. particularly In the cases
Of soldiers charged with desertion.
with having fallen asleep at a post Of
duty. or with other oflenses.
Secretary Stanton always insisted
upon the strlctest discipline in the
army and frequently urged that de-
relict soldiers receive the severest
punishment Of military law and Gus
tom. but Lincoln rarely took any adj
vice On such matters. He had medi
tated deeply on that subject and con-
suited his own judgment in disposing
Of cases Of that kind that came before
him.
The late Joseph Holt. who recently
died at Washington. was Judge advo-
cate general Of the army during the
whole period Of the war and It became
his duty to report many cases OF al
legged cowardlce Of soldiers IS well as
other ofenses. President Lincoln
carefully read every line OF the charges
against such men. and as soon as he
saw the slightest chance TO excuse the
poor fellow a CLEAN Of satisfaction
would pass over his serious face Then
folding the papers together he placed
them ia a pigeon hole Of his desk. and
with his big eyes looking into those OF
the judge advocate standing before
him. he would say:
Holt. we viii let those soldiers 90.
Order them set free"
It was after the battle OF Chancel-
lorsville that charges were brought
against several men for falling to
march with their regiments into the
fight at a time when they were most
needed. The charge Of desertion was
made
When Secretary stanton heard Of
these cases he commanded Judge Holt
to present the charges against the men
to the president in the strongest pos
sible terms
I'VE need stronger discipline In the
army" said the stern secretary Of war
to the judge advocate. "The time has
come when the president must yield to
our opinion"
Judge Holt was himself one Of the
ablost lawyers Of his day. and had won
fame as a forensic orator long before
the war.
In presenting these cases." said he
to the writer a few months before his
death. "in obedience 10 the wish Of the
secretary Of war. used all the legal
acumen at my command. One morn
ing. with my papers air ready land
was deeply In earnest in the matter).
I proceeded to the white house: and.
as I entered his private Office. the
president looked up with his long, sad
face. saying:
"'Ahi Holt what have you thereg

your careful consideration. Mr.. Presi-
dent. with documentary evidence sufi-
cient to condemn every man.
"He took the papers and read them
carefully. stopping at times to reflect.

A FLORAL Clock.

John D. Rockefeller, according to
report, is to have an extraordinary
floral novelty on the grounds Of his
country seat on the Hudson, near Tar
rytown--a clock made entirely Of
growing flowers, which viii tell the
time OF day with much accuracy.
The floral clock Is the suggestion Of
Mrs. Rockefeller, with whom botany is
more than a fad. for she has for many
years been an earnest student Of iiori-
culture. It is said that before she was
married to Mr.. Rockefeller, and while
she was yet a bookkeeper, she was a
teacher Of botany.
The first floral clock is said to have
been made by Carl Won Lime, the
botanist, in Sweden. OF late these
unique tlmepieces have been con-
structed in Paris. Berne and Vienna
The Baroness Burdett-Coutts and the
Duke Of Westminster once delighted
their friends with the dainty play
things.
There are sixty-seven varieties e
flowers that have certain hours for
opening and closing their petals The
white lily opens at a. m. and closes
at p. M, and in the country districts
Is called the day lily"
The design for Mr. Rockefeller's
clock, it is said, has just been COM
pleted by an Ohio landscape gardener,
who has selected the common yellow
dandelion to represent the hands.
These flowers open at $50 a. m. and
close at about $50 p. m. For the p.
m. the Hawkseed has been suggested
as the best. as 1t closes at that hour
to the minute. The snow thistle, also
common to the meadow, closes its lit
tie white flower at exactly p. m. The
best IL a. m. plant is from the pasture
and is called the COW thistle. It opens
aat p m, and begins to close at II,
but is not completely closed before
noon.
From a distance the clock will have
the appearance Of a flower bed but no
one viii on close inspection mistake II
for anything other than what it Is.
One Of the gardeners at Lincoln
Park, Chicago. furnished the following
