ALL TllE WOULD.
All the world Is full of babies,
Stbbing, sighing everywhere;
Looking out with eyes of terror.
Beating at the empty air.
Do they see the strife before them,
That they sob and tremble so ?
Oh, the helpless, frightened babies—
Mill they come, and still they go.
All the world is full of children,
Laughing over lit le jo s,
Sighing over little trouble*,
Fingt rs bruised and broken toys.
Wishing to be older, largi r.
Weeping at s -me fancied woe:
Oh, the liapjUj haplyy e.iniwVet)'.. ' vf
Still th*A - ' Vo."
All the world is full of lowers,
Walking slowh, whispering sweet;
Dreaming dreams an-t buUdiug castles,
That, must crumble at their feet ;
Breaking vows and burning letters,
Smiling, lest the wo id shall know,
Oh. the foolish, trusting lovers—
Still they come and still they go.
All t he world is full of people,
Hurrying, rushing, pushing by,
Bearing burdens, carrying* crosses,
Passing onward, with a sigh ;
Some there are, with smiling faces,
But with heavy hearts below,
Ob, the sad-eyed, burdened cople,
How they come and hv>w they go.
.411 the earth is full of corpses ;
Dust and bones laid there to rest,
This the end that babes and children,
Lovers, people find at best
All then- fears, and all their crosses,
All their sorrows wearing so,
Oh, the silent, hapny corpses,
Sleepinj soundly, low.

Helena visited the scenes about Jeru

who had treasured up what traditions
he could gather, pointed out the proba

were discovered, and the title which
that of Jesus bore was found lying by
itself. It is related that the cross of
'hrist was distinguished from the other
two by miraculous cures wrought by
touching it. A church was built over
the spot, and a part of the saced relic
was deposited in it ; a part was sent to
Rome, and placed in the Church of
Banta Croce in Gerus llemme, built to
receive it, and the rest, was put by

marry a young man to whom she was
affi tveed in En-Uand. and who had come
to this country two years pievious to
engage in business. Bhe was to marry
him Jit the home of a friend of her
mother’s.wish whom she was stopping.
During the time -he was making up her
wed iing outfit, he came to see her one
evening ju.-t drunk eriong’ to be foul

yund measure. he then learned for
the lir-t time tbit lie was in the habit
of drinking to excess.
She stopped her pro partition- and
told him she could not m trry him. He
protested that she would drive him to
destruction ; promised never to dr ok
another drop. etc.
“No,’ she said, “I dare n<r tru-t

In the year 1820, after all save one

are borne on the Declaration of Inde.
pendence had descended to the tomb,
and the venerable Carroll alone remain
ed among the liviug, the government of

mittee to wait on the illustrious surviv
or and obtain from him, for deposit in
the public hail of the city, a copy of the
Declaration of 177 G, graced and authen
ticated anew, with his sign manual. T he
aged patriot yielded to the request, and
affixed with his own hand to the copy
of that instrument the grateful, solemn
and pious supplemental declaration that
follows:
“ Grateful to Almighty God for the
blessing which, through Jesus Christ
our Lord, lie has conferred on my be
loved country in her emancipation, and
and on myself in permitting me, under
circumstances of mercy, to live to the
age of eighty .-nine years, and to survive
the fiftieth year of American independ

my approbation of the Declaration of
Independence adopted by Congress on
the 4th of July, 1776, which l original
ly subscribed on the second day of Au
gust ol’the same year, und of which l
am now the last surviving signer, I do
hereby recommend to the present and
future generations the principles of
that important document as the best
earthly inheritance their ancestors
could bequeath to them, and pray that
the civil and religious liberties they
have secured to my country may be
perpetuated to the remotest posterity

TSie llngnents ii America,
On the revocation of the edict of
Nantes in 1685, at least 500.000 Hu
guenots took refuge in foreign countries.
From this :ime, f r many years, their
cause was vs mplctely broken in France
In 1705 there was not a single organized
congregation of Huguenots le*t in all
France. So early as 1555, C< ligni at
t minted, but without success, to estab
lish a Huguenot co ! ony in Brazil. In
1562 he mot out two ships, under the
command of Jean llibault, on a voyage
of exploration to Florida, but the at
tempt to establish a colony was unsue
e ssiel. Many departed for North
America even before the revocation of

Titc Wonders of a Flea.
When a flea is made to appear as
large as an elephant, we can see all the
wonderful parts of its formation, and
a r e astonished to find that it his a coat
ot armor much more complete than ever
a warrior wore, and composed of strong,
polished plates, fided over each oth .r,
each plate cove ed like a tortoise shell,
and where they meet hundreds of strong
quills project like those on the back of
a porcupine and hedge hog. There is
the arched neck, the bright eye, the
transparent cases, the piercers to punc
ture the skin, a sucker to draw the
blood, six long jointed legs, four of
which are folded on the breast, all
ready at any moment to tie thrown out
with tremendous force for that jump
which bothers one when they want to
catch him, and at the end of each leg
hooked claws to enable him to cling to
whatever he lights upon. A ilea can
jump a hundred tiin s its own length,
which is the same as P a man jumped
600 feet, and he can draw a load 200
times its own weight.

the acre, tne- planter furnishing a mule
with which to cultivate the crop.
