Fruit «r Flower.
When orchards smile, and our gardens bloom
In ra>nbow beauty from day to day,
And verdant leaflet and nodding plnma
Keep time to magic the breezei play,
How sweet the bower
When sun and abower
Unfold tbe bud and reveal the flower 1
Along the meadows in gleaming lines
From year to year is the promise writ;
Tassels and tendrils of clinging vines
Are never weary -proclaiming it ;
As bells in tbe tower
Toll forth the hour.
They herald the fruit that follows the flower.
We may watch and wait but can hasten not
Tbe sweet fruition our hearts desire,
Nor gather the grape or the apricot
Until they are fed with the noonday Are:
Though the fields we scour,
We hsve no power
To harvest the fruit that is still in flower.
But when the orchards are pink and white,
ADd all tbe meadows green and gay, '
In the promise given we take delight,
Aud breathe the fragrance that comes inHsy
Nor ask for tbe dower
Of a riper hour,
For tbe perfect fruit in the time of flower.
—Josephine Pollard, in Harper's I* eekly.
A Philanthroplcal Astronomer
Mr. H H. Warner, of Rochester, N.
Y., is developing info a philanthropist
of more than ordinary calibre. As near
as we can judge, Mr. Warner is making
strenuous and well directed efforts to
abate the restriction which is thrown
about young people just • after dark.
His efforts have so far lakeu the shape
of offers of two hundred dollars in gold
to anyone who shall, during the present
year, discover a new and unexpected
comet; two hundred dollars to anyone
who shall discover a meteoric stone
containing fossil remains of animal or
vegetable life, and fifty dollars to anyone
who shall send in a meteoric stone seen
to fall within the United States. This
cunningly devised scheme is bound to
meet with an almost unanimous re
sponse from the young English speak
ing people. There will be a general
rush of dilligent searchers into the warm
summer nights upon a valid excuse.
The dark uooks of the veranda, where
the light from within doors no longer
can blind the eyes, will bo favorite
posts of observation, and the front gate >
furnishes such a fine arm rest for ama
teur astronomers, will teguin all of its
ancient charms. The scientific investi
gations will leapjhe watchers off into
unfrequented fields in search of valu
able stones, and there will be uo oneTo
comment on the length of their absence
for it is clearly the duty of the young
to advance the cause of science, espec
ially when by doing ho they can lay by
a 6nug little sum for rainy days. The
time is even coming, thanks to Mr-
Warner, when a young man can sup-
port the uplifted head of his girl with
his strong right arm and feel not asham.
ed. for it will be evident to all who
gaze upon her that her bright eyes
search the heavens, and none can deny
but that gallantry requires manhood to
lend its aid when woman struggles with
hidden mysteries.
It will be observed that Mr. Warner’s
offer is made only to English speaking
people. This is well. Our cont nent-
al friends need no inducement to wan
der out after dark.—Macon Telegraph.
She Didn't Place her Words
Right
At one of the *ity drug stores a
young and sprightly school-teacher last
week hurriedly addressed the clerk :
‘I would like a sponge bath.’
‘Ah, ah, a—will you please repeat;
I did not quite understand ?’ stammer
ed the clerk.
‘I would like a good sponge bath,’
again sxclaimei the customer, while
a pair of sharp gray eyes, beaming with
wonder and impatience, made him
tremble.
! The disconcerted clerk managed to
tell his fair customer his inability to
catch her meaning..
•Well, I never ! If this isn’t queer!
1 think I speak intelligently enough.
I—want—you—to—g i v e—me—a —
good—sponge—bath.’
At tbis moment the proprietor whis
pered : ‘She wants a bath sponge.’
All of a sudden the lady comprehend
ed the trouble and fled from the store
before she could be recognized by any
one; but too late! A gentleman raised
his hat to her, passed in, and the story
got out.
“And now,” shouts an excited exchange,
“where shall we look for independence?”
Oh, friend and brother, searhing and
long-suffering fellow-sufferer, look in the
kitchen, look in, the kitchen ’
Shaving the Face.
Thirty years ago a few persons of
foreign birth, appeared in tbe street
with hair on the upper lip, and were
objects of curiosity and sometimes of
public ridiente. In 1850 some of the
young swells of the metropolis began to
wear mustaches, bat -for sometime no
clerk would venture to imitate them.—
In one case a merchant on Pine street,
who bad just engaged a clerk for
twelve months, or during good behavior,
discharged him for wearing a full beard,
claiming that tbe adoption of the fash
ion laid the clerk open to dismissal un
der the good behavicr clause to the
contract. About the same time a num
ber of leading merchants gave notice
that they would employ nobody who
wore hair on their upper lip. As late
as 1851 the senior proprietor of tbis
paper made hia cashier shave off an
incipient mustache, and soon brought
his own son uoder tbe razor. In the
church of Dr. Bethune, on Brooklyn
Heights, an elder who was suffering
from a lame wrist allowed his beard to
grow rather than submit to a bather.
The habit, beginning in necessity, con
tinued on account of the increase of
comfort which it afforded, and the el
der flaunted his beard before the con
gregation constantly. The result was
laughable. Many of the breathren
called upon the pastor to insist upon
doing away with such a scandal as a
full-bearded elder. He led them to
his library aod showed them how some
of the early fathers had pleaded against
cutting off the beard. “Be turned to
Lactantius, Theodore, St. Augustine
and St. Cyprian who, had stoutly con
tended for the growth of the whole
beard. He quoted from Clement of
Alexander the assertion that ‘nature
adorned man, like a lion, with a beard,
as a mark of strength and power ’
When one of the visitors asked him
how he would like it if the clergy as-
assumed the mustache, Dr. Bethune
referred him to a decsion of the fourth
council of Carthage (A. D. 252, can.
44), in which it was positively enacted
that a cleric shall not shave Ms beard,
and to a statement made by Luther in
discussing the subject, that ‘all Pro
testant nirtyrs were burned in their
full beards.’ This did not settle the
matter, for subsequently the ladies of
the congregation put iD their protest.
But in a few months a venturesome
lawyer let his -beard grow after the
manner of tbe elder, and in' a little
while smooth shaven faces were
no longer the rale but were the except
ion.—M. Y. Commerce.
Home Without a Woman.
In the goodness of our hearts can we
not pity the occupants of a home with
out a woman ! Such a home, bow ray
less, aod lonely ! As bereft of charms
as the rosebush without its crimson
roses ! Desolate ss the desert without
cherry restful oasis 1 Free of love’s
sweetest fragrance as the garden with
out its darling flowers 1 A home with
out a woman 1 As. well might day be
without blazing aun, or night without
its lumar and diadem of dazzling stars!
Truly are they to be pittied who live
iu earth’s isolated retreats away from
woman’s loving charms. Thrice bless
ed is be who daily basks in the sam,
shiny smiles of mother wife or sister.
His home should be an earthly para
dise. a fit emblem of the habitation
beyond tbe skies. Fair readers, let
your hearts go out in pnrest sympathy
for those poor, lone beings who have
not a mother’s loving counsel, a wife’s
holy wooing, or a sister’s twining affect-
tion Their homes are upon earth’s
desert w iste, or along the rock bound
shores. Blot woman from existence and
the world would be in midnight dark
ness. She is the light of the world, man’s
brightest flower, the poets grandest
theme. Where woman dwells not, tbe
home is without its charms and angel of
peace. Oh man, be not lacking in
woman’s praise; her sweet influences
are as vast as the ocean snd as high
as the heavens. Let her name be in
scribed upon the scroll of fame, and
every home on earth enjoy her benight
ed charms. So mote it be.

The Beat Beatoratlve*.
One of the first questions that is
asked by all sorts of people when it is
proposed to drop alchoholic liquors
from mediciaes is, “What can we use
iu their place?” I thought it would
be inte-esting to know what those En
glish doctors say whu are making such
progress io temperance, and I find suab
facts as the iollowing ;
An English clergyman got very tired
on Sunday evening, so he asked his
his doctor whether he had not bet
ter take a glajq, of wine to put him
right. ‘No, by no means,” was the re-
ply, ‘go to bed.’ Not all doctors make
to sensible a reply, and perhaps thit
one took his cure from Dr. Richardson.
This is what he says; ‘Rest however
short it may be, is the best of all re
storatives.—Five minutes’ rest is wotth
a glass of tbe best wine in its direct
action, and it is good every way. After
rest, food and sleep.’
When questioned what he did after a
long walk, or other physical task, he re
plied, ‘I rest by sitting still or by reclin
ing at length if that be possible. Then
take a light meal if that be at hand, or
a draught of milk if said food is not
ready ; or a slice of oatmeal or wheat-
meal and milk if that can be sectored.
Afterwards I take a warm bath when
that is at hand, add as soon as I can I
go to bed. These are all natural plans,
simple as the drinking of any stimu
lant, and safe as nature herself.'
Remember all this is from an old
school physician who has been for
years familiar witb its social and medi
cal u«es, but who has given them np
from common sense reasons; that is
from a knowledge of the nature of al
cohol, and close observer of itt effects
upon others.—Julia Colman to the
Weekly Witness.

Atlanta. Stopped at the Kimball.
Found business almost prostrate. Caused
by the unnecessary cry of small-pox. This
loathsome disease, I found upon a careful
inquiry, had. existed in the city, and there
were a few cases when I arrived at the
pest house, but it was confined principally
to negroes. There is no danger to be ap
prehended by a visit to the city now. The
disease has abated.
Found the political caldron more active
than the small pox. Radicals, coaliti-
tionists and iudependents, all congregated
here, scheming and devising. Tbe Demo

he won’t accept a nomination from either

for Governor.

A: half past eight we were all aboard. At
