PEN P1CrUREsT FROM paradise LOST. "a
SATAN AFTER THE A Z

He, above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent,
Stood like a tower; his form had not
yet lost
All its original brightness; nor ap-
peared
Less than archangel ruined, and the
excess
Of glory obscured; as when the sun,
new risen,
Looks through the horizontal misty air
Shorn of his beams, or from behind
the moon,
In dim eclipse, disastrous twilight
sheds
On half the nations, and with fear of
change
Perplexes m~onarchs; darkened so, yet
Above them all the a~rchangel; but his
face
Deep scars of thunder had e~ntrenched;
and care
Sat on his faded cheek; but under
brows
Of dauntless courage and considerable
pride
Waiting revenge.
BEELZEBUB.
With grave
Aspect he rose, and in his rising
seemed
A pillar of state; deep on his front
engraven
Deliberation sat, and public care;
And p~rincely counsel in his face yet
shone.
Majestic though in ruin: sage he stood
With Atlantean shoulders fit to bear
The weight of mightiest monarchies.
MAMMON.
Mammon led them n
Mammon, the least erected spirit that
fell
From heaven; for cen in heaven his
looks and thoughts
Were always downward bent, admiring
The riches of heavens pavement, trOd-
den gold,
Than aught divine or holy, else en-
joyed
In vision beatifc.
BELIAL.
A fairer person lost not heaven; he
seemed
For dignity composed, and high ex-
plot:
But all was false and hollow, though
his tongue
Dropt mama, and could make the
worse appear
The better reason, to ~perplex and dash
Maturest counsels: for his thoughts
were low:
To vice Industrious, but to nObler
deeds
Timerous and slothful.

IN THE JUNE WOODS.

Going to the woodland in June II
may look where the ground is still
damp for that queer little degenerate,
but nevertheless beautiful and exceed
ingly interesting, plant, the Indian
pipe or corpse plant. This is often
found under pines, pushing up
through the brown carpet of needles.
In these same damp woodlands under
the evergreens, the creeping winter
green or checker-berry is swinging lit
tie waxy bells. In the edges of the
woodland and in tangled thickets the
bittersweet or waxwork shows small
greenish white flowers. In these same
moist, rich thickets you may expect to
find slender white spikes of the Cul-
ver's-rOOt or Culver's physic with its
endlessly varied leaves, puzzling the
amateur unless the blossoms be there
for a solution. One may also hope to
find there the slender wands of the tall
b~ellfower. The four-Ieaved loosestrife.
its yellow flowers streaked with dark
red, is blooming where the soil is moist
but sandy. Another lover of gravelly

soil, especially the banks of streams,
is the Indian hemp. Along the edges
of the richer thickets the elderberry is
in bloom and likewise the cranberry
tree, while in their depths look for the
little shinleaf.
As the road climbs upward, the
woodland becoming rocky, water drip
ping over and cool MOSES covering
the gray lodges and boulders, look for
the smooth early or meadow rose, the
purple-fowering or Virginia raspber-
ry, and along the lodges for the ex-
quisitely beautiful harebells-the bon
ny bluebells of old Scotia. In dry,
rocky woodland search for the pointed
tick-trefoil, the wild bergamot with its
different shades, and the dockmackie.
The staghorn, sumac or vinegar tree
is in bloom on dry, rocky hillsides and
on rocky banks and river sides are the
white balls of the ninebark% On the
rich wooded hillsides the unpleasant
odor of the black snake-root or tall
bugbane d~iscloses it's whereabouts.
Where the woodland becomes drier
and more open the PROSTATE tick
trefoil, the deliciously fragrant little
round-leaf pyrola, the princess pine Or
pipsissewa, the spotted and one-sided
wintergreens are to be added to the
vasculum. Along the sandy edge of
the pine woods you may hope to find
the attractive and snowy goats rue or
wild sweet pea, even though other
plants be sore smitten by heat and
drought. Fortune favoring, you may
become the richer for the curious
shaped flower of the Virginia snake
root, whose aromatic root has medici-
nal properties. Along the woodland
edges and in the adjoining thickets
the vivid color of the red wood or Phil
adelphia lily begins to appear and in
admiration of its gorgeousness n is
apt to overlook the modest neighbors,
the wild or slender yellow fax, the tall
or hairy agrimony and on nearby
banks the starry campion. Along the
shady roadsides of the woodland bloom
the white avens, the harmless enchant-
ers-nightshade, or perhaps the soil
tary flower of the creeping dalibarda.
Leaving the roadsides and the pas
lures for the meadows, the boys and
the cool retreats of the swamps where
in Nature so often hides her rarest
and most precious treasures, hopes are
high, for what may they not contain?
In the moist meadows and along the
edges of the swamps the yellow or
field avens is replacing the marsh mar
igoId. The middle of June is not too
early to look where the meadow is rich
and moist for that strikingly hand
some orchid, the early purple-fringed
Orchis. The COW parsnip is there also.
Where the meadows are low and on
the edges of the swamp the g~rass-pink
or calopogen, a fairly common orchid,
and the monkey flower are in bloom. A
shy denizen of the more secluded parts
of the swamp is the fragrant rose or
sweet-scented pogonia, sometimes call
ed snake-mouth, a charming member
of the orchid family. Still another
orchid, rare and solitary and a lover
of the deep swamp, is the snowy lady's
slipper. The small, pale green orchis
and the fringed green orchis, delight
in cool boys. D~eliciously sweet and
fragrant is the swamp pink or honey
suckIe, known also as the white or
clammy azalea.-From Country Life

ONE-sIDED

Dear Aunt Jennie:-There has been
so much said on the subject of educa-
ton, I should like to say a few words
to the mothers and fathers who are
having their sons and daughters edu-
Gated.
How many boys and girls can you
think of now who have been educated
by the hard labor of father and mother
who are willing to come to them after
their education is complete and take
hold of the duties they are compelled
to perform to sustain life? Can you
think of one boy in ten who thinks he
was made to go on a farm and do the
labor that the blessed Creator has laid
before us to do, for the support of all
mankind? No, each had rather be a
lawyer, a doctor, a preacher, Or a mem
Der of some higher Professionalism,
of course, is all right, for it is neces-
sary hat we have such men to per-
form the duties which only such men
jail pCI4O1Iu' OuO yCJ GCdCA G14CI4 W
work, and they will know how to have
work done. A man that never did a
days work does not know what a days
work is. Perhaps he may never have
that responsibility, but if he should,
what a comfort it would be to him to
know that father taught him how to
work while he was learning books! So
it will not go hard with him. Another
consolation is that a farmer never
loses his job.
Mothers teach your daughters to
work. Educate them and teach them
to cut and sew, to cook, and also to
wash. We none know what time will
bring, and it may be they will be I'M
fortunate; if so, how they will appre-
ciate mothers teachings in doing all
kinds of house work. I am sorry to
know there are girls who think it de-
grading to do the house work and
make their own clothes, thinking that
they are educated and that is all that
is necessary.
There is n young lady in my &C
qu%aintance that is highly educated,
and a perfect lady in every respect,
n loved by her many friends. She
is not by any means a proud girl, yet
she does not know how to cut or make
the simplest garment worn, or how to
prepare the simplest meal.
[ also know a very nice gentleman
in the same little town who, in speak
ing of her to a friend, said: "What
should a man want with such a wife,
for a woman who does not know how
to do any thing does not know how to
have it done"
Mothers, educate your girls to work.
Make them useful as we'll as orna-
mental.
[ also know a very nice old gentle
man who has a son, his only child, that
he has labored very hard and educated
for the ministry. When he finished
his course in college, the other insis-
ted on his coming home and living
with him and his poor old mother as
long as they lived, as they are both
getting old and need some one to take
charge of the farm and take care of
them the short time left to them. But
oh, mol that would be too degrading.
There is plenty of religious work in
their neighborhood for him to do. His
father is talking now of giving his
farm and his other property to some
one to take care of them.
