The Violet's HOmiIy

Walking in the field this morning, sad and pensive at the thought That the birds and flowers must leave me. which have so much pleasure brought; 1 espied humble violet, smiling in it's lowiy bed, As l gazed, it whispered to me, and I'll tell you what it said. Cheer up. brother, cheer up! why should you gloomy be? I'm but iowly violet, yet lesson learn from me. Pm where the Lord has placed me, upon this sandy hill, Pm doing duty cheerfully, in accord ance with His will. My work will soon be ended, and I shall fade away, But l shall keep on smiling, till the finish of the day. So brace upi brother, brace up! just wear smiling face, Be always kind and friendly, until you end life's race. Look for the bright side always, and you will surely find, In life there's still much pleasure, if you have a cheerful mind. Forget your little trials, help others all you can, Then you will be, my brother, hap. pier, better man.

The Latest Apple Fad

Following the example of growers of apples in the famous Hood river val ley, fruit men in this section are to try one of the fanciest of fancy experiments next season in producing apples with name appearing on the sides.
 The trick is turned in a,simple way. Just before the fruit reaches maturity and is about to take on it's kissed coloring strip of cut-out paper with the letters of the name desired show ing solid, is pasted on the side of each apple. When old Sol and the other aids of nature have completed the col bring process the paper is removed and, behold, the name on the fruit in clearest relief. Apples of this kind bring remarkable prices in city hostel. Ties for which they are prepared and Nindham county growers are going after share of the money.

 His indignant protest to Commodore Rogers on board the Constellation ends with the eloquent peroration: "In few minutes more we shall lose sight of this city, which has experienced as strange reverse in as short time, as ever was recorded in the disasters of war: thrown from proud success and elated prospects into an abyss of hope less wretchedness. For no other crime but too much confidence in us Hamet experiences reverse as striking. He falls from the most fiattering ,pros- poets of kingdom to beggary.o The treaty, of course, upset all that Eaton had done, and Hamet was again an exile and wanderer.
 In a letter to Eaton, w ritten by Com modore Preble, after Ithe lamentable ending of this most remarkable histor. ic incident, the following endorsement is found: "The arduous and danger ous services you have performed have justly immortaized your name, and astonished Eot only your country, but the world. pecuniary resources and naval strength had been at your com- mand, what would you not have done. You have acquired immortal honor, and established the fame of your coun. try in the East
 General Eaton returned to the Uni ted States, where he was received as a popular hero. He landed at Hampton Roads, and on his way to Washington was honored at several public ban quets. The President, in his message to Congress, made honorable mention oG his successes and services. Turnout the nited States his name stood ex- alted. He was considered las having, by his own prowesS and enterprise, compelled the Dey of Tripoli to make peace, while the general sentiment en- tertained was that if he had been prop. erly supported by the American naval force then in the Mediterranean, he would in short time have been mas- ter of the Kingdom of Tripoli. The State of Massachusetts made him grant of 10000 acres of land in what is now Maine.
 He was, in later years, approached by Aaron Burr, and invited to take part in his reasonable design, but Ea- ton would have nothing 10 do with Burr except To bear witness against him in a sworn statement General Eaton, retired, as private citizen, 10 Brimlield, Mass, where he died on June l, lSll.
 General Eaton is described as being about five feet eight inches in night, of fair complexion, his eyes large and blue, expressive of energy and author ilyi his mouth large, his cheek bones prominent, and his foreheadunusualIy high, His whole eountenance pro- claimed vigor, dignity and command,
 A resolution brought forward in the House of Representatives to award him medal was defeated, His appli- cation 10 Congress for reimbursement of the large sums he expended was ig- nored. These disappointments led to a premature death at the age of forty seven. The only tangible evidence in this country to recall his victory is Derne street, an obscure thorofare in Boston.
