In summer-time how fair It showed—
My garden by the village road,
Where flery stalks of blpisom glowed.
And roses soltly blushed;
i With uxure spires und garlands white,
Palo heliotrope, the aim’s delight,
And odors that perfumed the night
Where'er the south wind rushed.
There solemn purple pansies stood
Gay tulips red with floral blood,
And wild things iresh from field und wood
Alive with dainty graco.
Deep heaven-blue bells of columbine,
The darkly-mystlc passion vine,
And clematis that loves to twine,
Bedecked that happy place.
Beneath the strong, unclouded blna
Of long and fervent summer days
Their colors smote the passing gnzo,
And duzzlod every eye.
Their cups of scented honey-dew
Charmed All the bees that o'or tfiein flew,
And butterflies of radiant hue
Paused as they floated by.
Now falls a cloud of sailing snow,
The bitter winds of winter blow,
No blossom dares Its cup to show—
Earth folds them in her breast;
A shroud of white, a virgin pall,
Is slowly, softly hiding all;
In vain shall any sweet wind call
To break their silent rest
My garden is a vanished dream,
Bead in the waning moon’s cold beam,
Clear icicles above it gleam ;
And yet—l know not how—
My flowers will hour the dropping-rain
When spring ronoweth hill and plaiu,
And then It shall be min© again;
It is God’s garden now.

DIFFICULTIES OF A WIT
NESS.
You must got around early in the
morning, my dear,” said Mr, Spoopeu
dyke, “because I’m going to be a wit
ness in court.”
“Good gracious !” -exclaimed Mrs.
Spoopendyke, “wlmt have you been do
ing?”
“ What d’ye s’pose I’ve been doing ?
I’ve heard some things in a law case, and
I’ve got to swear to them. You can’t
have a law ease without witnesses, and
I’ve got to be one to-morrow; so you
hustle out in the morning and get my
breakfast.”
“ They can’t do anything to you, can
they?” inquired Mrs. Spoopendyke,
nervously.
“ If I ain’t there in time they can send
me to* jail, ” responded Mr. Spoopendyke,
ominously; “and you’d better get me
ready in time, if you don’t want to lose
me,” and Mr. Spoopendyke hopped into
bed and went to sleep.
Mrs, Spoopendyke turned the clock
ahead two hours, arranged her hair, and
sat down to speculate on the chances of
waking at the proper moment. At first
she concluded to stay up all night, but
she began to get sleepy, and, reflecting
that if she fixed her mind on the hour
she wanted to rise she’d be sure to wake
up, she w r ent to bed and to sleep simul
taneously.
At half-past 4 she roused up with a
terrified start.
“Wake up, my dear,” she exclaimed
to her husband. “ You’ve got to go ,a
witnessing in a case tills morning. Hur
rv up. or they’ll put you in jail.”
"“ W all!" responded Mr. Hpoopen
dyke. , “ What did the heed get mixed
there with—poof—ah !” and Mr. Spoop
endyke was sound asleep again.
“You must get right up and go to
court,” said Mrs. Spoopendyke firmly.
‘ ‘ You know r something about a law court
and you must wake up right off.”
“What’s the matter ?” propounded
Mr. Spoopendyke, sitting up and glar
ing around him. “ What day of the
month is this ? Who called Spoopen
dyke? I ain’t slept a wink,”, and Mr.
Spoopendyko fell back on his pillow.
“ Yon know you must go to the case,"
continued Mrs. Spoopendyke. “ You’ve
been appointed a witness and you must
go and swear about it. Wake up, or
they will .arrest you.”
“What case?” demanded Mr. Spoop
endyke'. “Who’s arrested? Can’t you
let a man alone just as lie’s getting in a
doze? What’s the matter with you,
anyway ?”
“You wanted to get up early about
some- court. Come, get up, now, or
they’ll send yon to jail,” and Mrs.
Spoopendyke got up and lighted the
cas and began dropping on her skirts.
“Who’s going to court?” asked Mr.
Spoopendyke, sitting up in the bed.
‘ ‘ Where’s tho court ? Think any court
waits me at 5 o’clock in the morning ?”
“It’s about a law ease,” said Mrs.
Spoopendyke, cheerfully. “You know
you are a witness. To think that I
should live to be the wife of a witness 1”
and Mrs. Spoopendyke, firmly impressed
that it was somethin*? in the nature of a
foreign mission, gazed admiringly upon
her husband.
“Dod gast the law case 1” howled Mr.
Hpoopendyke, now thoroughly mad.
“ D’ye think a law case goes prowling
around all night like a policeman ? Got
an idea that a Judge is going to strap the
Court House on his batik and fetch it up
here at daylight to try a law ease ?”
“But you said you wanted to get up
early,” reasoned Mrs. Spoopendyke,
“ audit’s pretty early now.” .
“D’ye s’pose I wanted to get up at
midnight to practice ?” propounded Mr.
Sp' in dyke. “Think a law case is
ffiurch-sociable. the first man
‘he best supper? P'raps you
if I didn’t start early I
seat. The measly court
’ 0 o’clock, dod gast it;
me up at 4 ! What
ess is, anyhow?”
V.e, getting mad
lie’s a dark
'th his slide
ut of tho
v
'die,
If I had your intelligence and a bald
head, I’d hire out for Judge at board
wages. I toll yo a court is a plaoe where
they try eases about land, and licking
people, aud contracts, and—and—di
vorce cases. Yes. indeed.” continued
Mr. Hpoopendyke, solemnly, •• they try
divorce cases about women waking their
husbands up in tho dead of night”
“ What kind of a law easo are you go
ing to witness ?” inquired Mrs. Spoopen
dyke.
“A daylight case i You understand
tlmt ? At 10 o’clock, and not 5. Got
that.' through you* head? Think you
can n member 10 o'clock ? If you oan’t
can you remember 11, or noon ?’’
“Do they have eases every hour?”
queried Mrs. Hpoopendyke.
“Of course they do. They leave
every fifteen minutes, like a ferryboat,
and if I cau't catch one ease I’ll bo wit
ness in another. Got it now ? Only
they don’t inn as often from midnight to
G. Begin to see into it ?”
“1 think I do,” said Mrs. Spoopen
dyke, ruminating. “ I was thinking that
if one started at ft o’clock, I'd go and
witness with you.”
“Oh, you’d make a witness!” pro
claimed Mr. Spoopendyke. “With
your capacity lor observing and ability
to recollect, you would only want to
appear twieo to absorb the whole wit
ness business,” and, with this reflection,
Me. Hpoopcmly lee went track to Ills
slumbers.
At 10 o’clock sharp liis wife called
him and notified him of the hour.
“ Ilow’m I going to got there in time ?
Why didn’t you call me before ? Want
me sent to State prison for contempt ?
Want to get rid of me, don’t you?”
and Mr. Spoopendyke darted into his
clothes.
“ Dou’t you want some breakfast, my
clear ? ” inquired Airs. Spoopendyke,
tenderly.
“No, I don’t want any measly break
fast,” be shouted. “Didn’t I tell ye I
was a witness at 10, and now it’s half
past. Tliiuk a man is appointed witness
during good behavior ? S’pose I hold
tile office till my successor is appointed ?”
and Air. Spoopendyke plunged down
stairs and out of the house.
“I only did what he told me to,” sighed
Airs. Spoopendyke, wetting a piece of
court-plaster and patching up a hole in
her silk dress. “Though I don’t see
any use of a man being a witness if he
can’t be a witness when he wants to. If
I were a man,” she continued, as she
flopped down ou the floor to change her
boots, “ I’d get appointed by the Presi
dent, and then I could attend to business
or not, as I liked,” with which sage re
flection Airs. Spoopendyke pulled out
her husband's socks and began to sow
wens three inches in diameter on the
heels.
Till. J IOQDEX MAN.
The most interesting statue to us, and
perhaps the oldest image in Egypt, and,
if so, in the world, is the Wooden Alan,
which was found at Alemphis. This
image, one metre and ten centimetres
high, stands erect, holding a staff. The
figure is full of life, the pose expresses
vigor, action, pride; the head, round in
form, indicates intellect. The eyes are
crystal, in a setting of bronze, giving a
startling look of life to the statue. It is
no doubt a portrait.
“There is nothing more striking,”
says its discoverer, “than this image, in
a manner living, of a person who has
been dead six thousand years.” He
must have been a man of mark, and a
citizen of a state well civilized; this is
not a portrait of & barbarian, nor was it
carved by a rude artist. Few artists, I
think, have lived since who could impart
more vitality to wood. And if the date
assigned to this statue is correct, sculp
ture in Egypt attained its maximum of
development six thousand years ago.
This conclusion will be resisted by
many, and on different grounds. I heard
a clergyman of the Church of England
say to his comrade, as they were looking
at this figure:
“It’s all nonsense; six thousand years!
It couldn’t be. That’s before the crea
tion of man.”
“Well,” said the other, irreverently,
‘ ‘ perhaps this was the model. ” Charles
Dudley Warner.

THRIFT IX FEANCE.
The sense of economy and thrift of
tho Frenoh people is especially striking
to those who have lived much in other
countries. Nearly everybody possesses
something in this oountry. If anybody
does not, you may bo pretty sure it is
his own fault. Love of economy often
verges on avarice. Go into any house
in Paris, question the servants, and you
may be certain that almost every one of
them has somo small treasure in the
shape of cash or bonds. It is tho saving
of every day. The old servant in the
house will often consult his muster about
how ho is to employ his money. 'Dio
head servant of a privnte house here,
who has oftou filled my glass at table,
lias saved enough to bring him in £7OO
a year. He has been for twenty-flvo
years in tho same situation, mid does his
duty as strictly as lie did the first day of
his service. Ho seldom goes out, never
takes anything between his meals, and
all ho gains is carefully put aside. I
have met with so many examples that I
am hound to believe this thrift to be the
rule. A careful observer, who has occa
sion to mix with the middle classes in
France, will be even more struck by the
qualities I have indicated. The whole
mode of living is made subservient to
tho children ; the babe has hardly seen
daylight before the parents are already
saving for him. Every child’s future is
provided for at his cradle by the earnest
efforts of liis parents, and it is rarely
their fault if they do not succeed.
There is a curious exception to this al
most general rule—the workman, the
artisan. Here you find many, and es
pecially the better paid, in towns and
cities, who have not preserved the good
qualities of their fellow-countrymen,
Here you find drunkenness, improvi
dence, and with them Communism.
Still it may be confidently declared that
these are a small minoritv.— Times.

WOMAXLT MODESTY.
Alan loves the mysterious. A cloud
less sky and the full-blown rose leave
him unmoved; hut the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the
bush, and the moon when emerging from
behind a cloud, are to him sources of in
spiration and of pleasure. Alodesty is
to merit what shade is to a figure in
pointing-—it gives boldness and promi
nence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty. It sheds around
the countenance a halo of light that is
borrowed from virtue. Botanists have
given the rosy hue which tinges the cup
of the white rose the name of “ maiden
blush.” This pure and delicate hue is
tho only paint Christian virtue should
use. It is the richest ornament. A
woman without modesty is like a faded
flower diffusing au unwholesome odor,
which the prudent gardener will throw
from him. Her destiny is melancholy,
for it terminates in shame and repent
ance. Beauty passes like tho flowers,
which bloom and die in a few
hours; hut modesty gives the female
charms which supply the place of tran
sitory freshness of youth.

HED-HOT IEOX IX THE MOVTH.
Prof. Semantini, of Naplos, after va
rious experiments upon himself, says
that ho found that by friction with sul
phurio acid, diluted with water, tho skin
might be mado insensible to the action
of the heat of red-hot iron. A solution
of alum, evaporated until it became
spongy, appeared to be more effectual in
these frictions. After having nibbed
the parts, which were thus rendered, in
some degree, incombustible, with hard
soap, he discovered, on the application
of hot iron, that their insensibility was
increased. He then determined on again
rubbing the parts with soap, and after
this found that the hot iron not only
occasioned no pain, but that it actually
did not burn the hair. Being thus far
satisfied, the professor appliod hard
soap to his tongue until it became in
sensible to tho heat of the iron; and,
after having placed an ointment com
posed of soap mixed with a solution of
alum upon it, boiling oil did not burn it.
While tho oil remained on the tongue a
slight kissing was heard, similar to that
of hot iron when thrust into water.
The oil seen cooled, and might then be
swallowed without danger. Several sci
entific men have since successfully re
peated tho experiments.

“ PATBONIZINO " A PATER.
W find in the Bouton Herald some
talk about “ ceasing to patronizo a news
paper” and also about “ newspaper pat
ronage.” It is a stupid phrase. We
do not consider anybody patronizes a
nowspaper when he buys it; or that the
newspaper is under any obligations to
any one who either purchases a copy or
inserts an advertisement. II it is a
wise and sound newspaper, the pur
chaser or advertiser gets the value of
his money, and the amount is even be
tween them. The only situation in
which the word patronage can be proper
ly used, in such a case, is where tho
the newspaper is mean and worthless,
and the man pays for his copy or for his
advertisement more than the thing is
really worth. In that sort of circum
stances there may be patronage in the
base sense of the word—the sense iu
which the Herald employs it. Tho idea
of patronage contains in it something of
servility. It has no place in the Ameri
can republic. It ought to be repudi
ated and detested by every self-respect
ing newspaper and every self-respecting
citizen.— New York Sun.

EIGHT REASONS
Why we NEVER sell POND’S EXTRACT
in BULK, but adhere to the rule of
selling ONLY in OUR own BOT
TLES, enclosed in BUFF
WRAPPER, on which is
printed our landscape
Trade-Mark.
1. Tt insures the purchaser obtaining tho cennlne
article.
2. ft protect* the consumer la ouylne Pond's Ex
tract not weakened with water, which wa found was
done a few Tear* ngo, when we were induced to furnish
dealers with the genuine article in bulk.
3 —lt protect* the consumer from unscrupulous parties
lolling crude, cheap decocilons to him as Pond's Extract,
for any person can tell the genuine from the bottle ana
wrapper.
4.—lt protects the consumer, for it Is not safe to use
any other Article According to the directions given in our
book, which surrounds each bottle of Pond's Extract.
,I. Tt protects the consumer, for it is not agreeable to
be deceived and perhaps injured by using other articles
under tho directions for Pond’s Extract.
4. No other article, manufwture or imitation has the
•fleet claimed for and always produced by. Pond’s Extract,
7.— lt Is prejudicial to the reputation of Pond’s Extract
to have people use * counterfeit, believing it to bo the
genuine, for they will surely be disappointed if not injured
By Its effect.
A.— Justice to one of the bent medicines in the world,
•nd the hundreds of thousands using it, demands every
firecautinn against having weak and injurious prepara
ions palmed off as the genuine. The only wav this
can be accomplished is to sell.the genuiue, put up in
a uniform manner—in ourown boit.es, complete With
buff wrappers, trade marks, Ac.
11F3IE9IBEB-Tlie iienuloe Pond’s Ex*
tract is cheap, because it is strong, uniform and re
liable. Our book of directions explains when it can be
diluted with water aud when to bo used full strength.
REXEYIBER-That all other preparations, if col.
orless, are mere decoctions, boilings, or produced simply
to obtain the odor And without the scientific or practical
knowledge of the matter which many year* of labor has
given us.
RENERBER. or know now— I That all prepara
tions purporting to be superior to Pond’s Extract because
t hey have color, are colored simply because they hava
erude and, to unprofessional people" using them, perhaps
dangerous matter in them, and should n*rer he used except
under the advice and prescription of a physician.
REnEXBER jfnil know -That our very expens
ive machinery is the result of. thirty years of experience,
(the most of which was entirely given to this work) and
constant attention to the production of ail forms of llama
raells, and that therefore we should know what we as
§ert, that Pond’s Extract l the best, purest, and contains
more virtue# of the shrub than any other production yet
