THE FLORA OF THE WEST.
No greater field of loveliness can be
iniUKiiiud than tbe western prairie pro
scntH to the lover of the beautiful.
There, from early Spring, until latest
Autumn, can bo seen myriads of flow,
era ol all forms, shades and colors,
named and namolcss. Tho first that
greets the c e in the Spring is tho cro
cus, a much larger aud finer variety
than we find in the East, Its blooms
very frequently, beTng as largo as the
oobea Ktmdent ; in many places scores
01 acres are covered witn those pale
oiuo Dcauiins. Appearing almost with
the crocus, it the tiny butler-cun and
prairie daisy, always favorites of the
children, aud even to tbe older ones,
pleasant harbingers of tunny days,
i'he prairie and its groves certainly
nuvo a monopoly in tnowav ol violets.
Tho different varieties agruo in num
ber of sennit hut vary widely in color
and folingo. The colors range from
deep LIuu lo w Into, while the groves
Airnieh the yellow wood-violet, but
lor beaut', tho lavender and cream
colors are peerless, covering tho prarie
with a silvery sheen as the light hroeze
passes over them. J ho toliugo vanes
as much in form as the flowers in color.
It includes tho palm, larkxpur, lance
leaved pansy, and many other forms.
Columbino, (aquilegia) an inhabitant of
the grovo, pleasantly greets tbe passer
by with its wealth of nodding flowers,
always stately, bearing a dignity to
wbicu it is entitled on account ol tho
mass of luxuriant foliage which sur
rounds and supports it. Tho Dkcntra
cucullaria, with its blossoms of pink
and white, is a great lavortie. Its flow
ers resemble, somewhat, those ot tho
drrlytra, but its foliage is quite differ
ent, the leaves are finely divided, and
more of a fern-like growth. Tho wild
pea, (pisvm) diffurs considerably from
the sweet-scented pea: the flowers are
purple and lavender, growing in orowns
at the top ot the stem, the foliage is
very much like the acacia, (suliiras-
Sim) except that it is covered ovor
with a short hair, flower not lragrant,
but quite an addition to bouquoU Of
iris, (nov-er-dehice) there are several
varieties. The early iris, (iverna)
flower blue, leaves very long; copper-
euiuruu iris, cuprm) flowers orange
lake iris '(lacustris) flower blue and yel
low. These beautiful flower-Iran beeeen
fiir some length of timo, adorning the
ponds and lukclets over tho prairie,
surrounded by their armor of lance or
swortl-sbaped leaves, l'rairte pink is
bell-shaped, with five petals united as
in tho tecoma, or trumpet flowor, a pro
fuse bloomer, and of a brichl orantre
color, un removing a very thin bark
from the root of this plant, vou will
find small red particles adherinir lo tho
inner baric, wlncn, it applied to any
object, will paint it a most brilliant
scarlet. The leaves are not so lonir
asof tho garden pink. The low grounds
aro frequently covered with cow slip
(palwitrii) and yellow and whito spi
dcrlily. The wood-sorrel (ojnu)
ueuutines ana Drigntcns mucu ol na
ture's greon carpet with its little
trumpet shaped flowers of violet pur
ple ; its plant is amnlescenl, arising
frt.m a scaly bulb. Each week brings
its tribute of new varieties to the floral
festival. Among others the gentian,
(gentiana) fumily, which, by the way,
is a very large and a very welcome
one; the alba, with its cream white
corolla ; tho obolaria, with Its purplish
bloom, and tbe ochrolcnca with its cor
olla of grcenish whito, are all worthy
the admiration they receive, but no
one cun compare with tbe beautiful
closed blue gentian, (andrewtu) whose
corolla novor opens; its beauty and
loveliness, liko tbe hopes and fears of
tbe unman heart, are bidden from tbe
rudo gar.o of the world ; no one can
tell of the gem without destroying tho
casket.

dom ever reaching over one foot in
height, but frequently having eighteen
or twenty roses In full bloom at one
time, presenting the appearance ol a
large Douqnet, flowers very lragrant.
Tbero is a bright rod lily dotted with
black, very handsome; tbe stem is
twelve or fourteon inches high, bear
ing one flower only, which stands

have the whito pond lily, the pride

A small shrub, or busb, eighteen
inches high, called wild bean, but In
appropriately bo, bears large clnstors
ot flowers oxuctly like tbe common
locust treo, except that the racomea
are more compact and of a most deli-
cato buff color, a very Ano flowor in
deed, and well worth cultivating. We
meet with a now but nameless ac
quaintance, seemingly forming a con
necting link betwoen tho grasses and
the lilies, as they have sheathing joint
ed stems, with delicate, finely colored
flowers, in shape something liko the
borgamot. Toward Autumn many
white flowers are added to onr par
terre, ono variety, a small delicately
formed flower, is quito attractive and
much soiii'lit after. Tho cum wood.
of the belianlhus family, but quite
small flowers, furnishes yellow for the
prairie, tne leal resembles the leaf of
the heavy forn, doeply serrated, the
one serrated sido always pointinrr

lact it derives tho name of compass
weed. It the stalk is brokon off in the
Fall a quantity of gum exudes, which
is much sought after by the gum chow
ing lraternity. Vie will mention last,
though not least worthy of aotice. the
grasses. Many are very fine. The tall
i;iuan, anuwii uure uy too name oi
'siougn grass," but evidently belong
ing to th Pampas family, is certainly
equal to anything produced in that
family. Acres are frequently covered
with it, growing to the height of
twelvs feet, bearing on its top an Im
mense tua of the finest particles of a
silky, downy substance, resembling
slightly the production of the mink
busb, but mucu heavier and more com
pact, its weight drawing the lop or the
grass to one aide, giving it a very
jjraceiui appearance. a a.

THE BATTLE FIELD OF WATERLOO.
It is extromely difficult at first to
roalize or be reconciled to tho scene ol
the most momentous battle, of modern
times that huge interloper ol'a mono
dominates and transforms it so. The
entire conformation of the central por
tion ot mo neiu is cnangeu. itio eon
tre of the British position the ridgi
on which Wellington was posted the
place wnore tbe great square was
lormed, and stood like a wall ot steel
and fire on that awful day tbe glon
ous ground, pounded by a shot an
kneaded with blood, bas all been du
down many feet the earth taken at)
piled np, human dust and all, to make
the lolly mound on wbich baa monntgd
the Belgie lion, cast from Krenoh cap
tured guns, forever menacing France.
Without, this mound is fair enough
with green grass and wild flowers
within, it is a monstrous oharnel-house.
Never did lion stand guard over such
a heap of bones, and never did beast
wear so savage and uonant an aspect.
I rejoice tbat it is not the English lion
tbat sets himself up as an eternal taunt
and menace a big bronze growl, r.ng
land s lion tlmsbes bis dreaulul work
and then lies down to sloop in a repose
more awlul than this creature s snarl-
ing watchfulness. England can alwuys
renew bor grand emblem from tho
noblest types ot nature. Wben her
"morningdrum beats round tho world,"
the lion ot Africa looks down Irom bis
mountain cavo and tho lion of Asia
stirs in hit jungle lair; but this brag
gart Belgium cannot even boast a lean
and hungry specimen of tho animal in
bor zoological collection at .Brussels,
The summit ol tbe mound, which
we reach by a toilsome climb, affords
comprehensive view ot tbe great
scene ot conflict, but a high tower
would have served as well as this im
pertinent young mountain, buruly
tho field should have been kept as
noarly as possible in tho state in which
it was left alter tho dead wore buried
those piteous wrocks of the mighty
flood of war which broko loose here,
and in its reflux swept away thrones
and tbe boundaries ol empires. Doubt
less a lew acres right hero should have
bocn enclosed and protected, but this
digging down, and uol, owing out, and
piling up is a sin aguinst the truth of
history and the higher truth of poetry.
Nature, when let alono, keeps well the
Bimple records, ot great ovents and
heroic deeds. Tbe sunken road of
Ohian, which is made such a point of
in Victor Hugos splendid description
ot tho battle, as a long pitfall and bid
den troncb, wherein the quick and tho
dead wcro piled together, has utterly
lost that character tho earth of the
one ridge having been quite removed.
By the way, an old guide, born near
Waterloo, and who at tbe time of the
battle was a lad of 17, and helped bury
the dead, told us that he first conducted
Victor Hugo over the field. He said
that the novelist stayd at a fann-honso
in the neighborhood' for two months,
and walked again and again over tho
5 round ol bis marvolously vivid scenes,
'hat is tbe way an artist works.
But alter all the cbangos ot sixty
years, or irom tne time even when
Byron visited the field, when ho needed
do guide to toll bim where the slaugh
ter bad been most terrible, lor tbe duup
shade and lush luxuriance of grass and
grain revealed tbe ground where tho
blood rain bad been heaviest, and
where the human compost was ricbost
realization yet comes to ono almost
overpoweringly while looking down on
tbe very spot wnore stood tho British
squares, rigid, Horned, impenetrable,
inncxiblo, with tbe fiery French cav
alry burling itself upon them and be
ing forever hurled back ; and while
gazing off to those quiot, cboerful-look
ing buildings, tbe lurru bauso ot Mont
Kt. Jean, La Have Bainlo, La Boll
Alliance, and Ilougouinont, around and
within which onco ragod tho fiercest
tempest of bnttlo the bait of shot, the
red lightnings and sudden tbitr.dor of
cannon, and tho whirlwind of smoke
and flame. At last it all seems straneo
ly real and recent. A he very air
seems to vibrato still with the concus
sion of that mighty shock of arms.
There is tragedy in every lino of the
map you study, in every quiet path
under your eyes, lly that road late
advanced on the French with llluoher
by this way fortune fled from thorn
lib JNapoloon; hero was their "Val
ley of Humiliation" yonder is Ibo Spot,
where the imperial liuards Urst guvo

We know how many thousands of gal

Btaekcd np harvest ot death, but it is
difllcult to realize that the survivors
who fled in shamo or marched oil in

TABLETS AND MONUMENT OF THE VIL-
l LAi.i CBl'ROB-TA&D.
Wo were pmsaio enouirh to take the
train to Waterloo, the weather boing
unoorlaln and some of our party not
feeling equal to a drive ol mora than
twenty miles." A litllo beyond the
village of Waterloo wo came to the
station tor tbe battle-field. Here omni
bus drivers lie In wait for visitors, and
guidot lurk in perpetual ambush. All
ubarge on yoo at once. ' Most of our
party succumbed, and rattled np to
tbe Lion Mound in a 'but, ovor a mod
ern stony road. I walked along an
old way, between bodges and through
neias, m a maca meditative qutet as
TUB VILLAUI OF WATERLOO.
On onr return, we stopped for en
hour at tbe first station, and walked
over to Waterloo village to see tho old
church and church-yard, filled with
tablets and monuments to the memory
ol English officers a very touching
Bight, and more so as tbe plaeo has a
peculiarly lonely, deserted, forgotten
look. In a garden near by the stranger
is invited to drop a tear ovor tho Mar
quis of Anglesey's leg, which being a
noble member, has a tomb, an epitaph,
and a weeping willow all to itself. In
the old post-house, opposito Ihe church,
were the Duke ef Wellington head
quarters. Tbero is a curious legend
that wben he dismounted at the door
of the inn, after having been many
hours in the stddlo, his favorite borso,
Copenhagen, flung up his boclu in joy,
and came near braining hit master on
the "pot For one moment the fate of
Europe hnng in those recalcitrating
hoofs. Napoleon might have sat on a
conglomerate of all the thrones of
Europe, and the long-looked-for in
vasion of England might have taken
place, If the Luke had happened just
at that instant to bow to a brother
officer, or if Copenhagen bad kicked a
fbw Inches higbor.
We were not able to see 11 on go
mont that day, and I, being especially
dissatisfied, took a train the next after
noon, and went alone on a pilgrimage
to that fulned chateau, which-Kir
many hours was the very hot heart ol
tbe butllo, the pivotal point tit destiny.
From the station, where with difflulty
1 shook off a swarm ot guides, I took
a lonely, lovely road through the fields
to the farm. A modern house now

The following death notice has iust
bocn published in tho 1'ittsburg pa-pors:
SrnKNLsr At London, Eoeland. January 81.
1878, Captain Edward W. H. Hobenley.
Itccardintr the suhioct of this notice
tho I'ust tolia the following romantic
story :
'I Irero are few to-day in Pittsburg
who can remember or appreciate the
cxeitument created in this city and
throughout the .Slate thirty-five years
ago, whon it becamo known that Cap
tain Hchenloy, a middle-jgod, twice
morned, ball pay oflloer in tho British
army, had clandestinely married and
elopod to England with Mary E. Cro
ghan, heiress ot one-third of tho vast
U liura estate, a young girl of scarce
sixteen, then at the fashionable finish-
ng school for younc ladies, of Miss
Met. loud on Htuten Island. Jt struck
people genorally as so much capital
abstracted from tho wealth of tbo coun
try by a blasted Britisher, to say
nothing ol tho beauty. It put out of
joint the nose of young Pittsburg of
mat uuy, who had counted on a tuir
eld and no lavors for tho hand or lor-
tuno of tho heiress. It incensed rcla-
ves, but tbat mattered little in a re
cuniary senso, as Miss Croghan inherit
ed Irom her motbor in her own right,
ut tho climax ol absurdity was reach
ed when tbo marriage was made tho
subjoct of serious deliberation in tho
Stato Lcgisluturo at Uarrishurg, and
a law was passed, preceded by a sol
emn preamble, rociling that, whereas,
Mary t. uroghan, then an inlunt in
tho eyes of the law, had contracted a
runaway marriogo , wilh an alion,
thcroforo bo it enacbsi, etc, that tho
trustees now in charge of her estate
bo continued in that trust indeflnitolv.
This was a mild dose of sequestration,
and of course was not worth tho pa
per on whiuh the law was written.
But It shows the excitement created
among such steady heads as frcqnciil
od Stilted Legislatures thirty-flvo years
ngo, by the Crogban-Schonley clope-
ineni.
Fow persons of our day havo bad a
more interesting and evenllul career
tan Capt. Ldward behenley, tbo horo
I this runaway match, and whose
death at London is stated above. Ho
buirht at Waterloo under Wellinirton.
and at Now Orleans under Packen
ham against Old Hickory, before he
had passed bis nineteenth year. He
had seen servlco in every quartern!'
the globo ; was tbo associate of George
v., ileau lirummel, and that particu
lar set that gave tbo fashions in nock
tics and dissipation ; knew lingers and
Tom Moore, and traveled In Italy as
tbe companion of Byron, Shelley and
Loigh Hunt Ho was a thoroughly
accomplished man ol the world, witty
and companionable, of fine presence
and elegance of manner, and a favor
ite with both soxos. It was his great
achievement In carrying off tho
wealthy Miss Croghan that connected,
Capt. Sebenley with 1'ittsburg.
Ol Huhenloy's early career and fom
ily not many details are known. Ho
was born somewhere about 1795. His
fatbur was a Belgian and an officer in
the British army, and his mother
beautiful and accomplished Irish
woman. Evidently be had some in
terest to push bis fortunes ler be was
sent to Harrow, the nursery ol the
English aristocracy, but during tho
Napoleonic wars, probably about 1812-
!, be ran away Irom school and en
tered tho army. He served under
Wellington in the concluding ptrt rf
the pcuinstilur campaign ; crossed the
Atlantic with his regiment and took
part in tho battle of N'ew Orleans on
tho 8th of January, 1815; and after
that disastrous deleut, Irom which Kn
sign Schonley escaped without oven a
scratch, ho wont back with his regi
ment, tuo iloyal ititics, und reached
tho continent in timo to win a captain
cy at Waterloo, whoro ho was wound
ed in tho hand by a Polish luncor. As
Capt. Schonly told the story, his regi
mont wns lying down when the Poles
charged through it, and ho got his
wound wbilo flat on tho ground. Just
how long ho remained in tho army
aflor tho war wo aro not informod.
Ho was always proud ot his Waterloo
medal. In 1822 he was in Italy with
Byron and Hhellcy, and when Shelley
was drowned In July of that year, in
the Hull' of'Spezzia, and his body wash
ed ashore, Schenlcy participated with
Byron, Loigh Hunt and Trolownoy in
its cremation. Ho is mentioned in
Leigh Hunt's account of that affair as
being present. Cunt. Schonlcy's own
description of it dillerod from that gen
erally received. Ho represented it as
degenerating into something of a
drunken orgio alter tbe fire under poor
Shelley's rcmainB had been lighted. It
was allowed to go out; then rekindled,
and on tho whole was brutal and dis
gusting. Wo don't think this version i
of it has over before boco put in print,
and it is not pleasant to elaborate. His
hrst marriage with Jliss Ingalls, a
Scotch lady ol great beauty, took
pluco in Italy, In 1825. It w.is a run
away match. The story runs they
wcro considered tho most handsomo
married pair in Europe No children
survived by his first wife. She was ti
relativo of Mrs. Dr. Addison, formerly
of this city, but now residing abroad,
and tho sister of the wifo of a late
Spanish minister at Washington Cat-
deron do la Haifa. Some years after
tho death ot his wile, Capt. Schonley
married a second time and this timo
into tbo bluest blood of tho English
aristocracy, the lody boing a daughter
of Sir William Polo. This lady left
ono child, a daughter, who is now mar
ried, and visited Pittsburg tome years
ago, 1 ho daughter is about tho same
ago as the Captain's third wife. Prior
to Ins third marriage Captum Scben
ley had sold out his commission in tho
l.nglisli army, and bad been appoint
ed a commissioner for tbo suppression
of the slave trade. In this duty he
hail been stationed at Surinam, Port
au Prince, nnd finally at Para, Brazil
at tho mouth ot tho Amazon. It was
wbilo on a visit from Para to Now
York city, in 18-13, ho met Miss Cro
ghan tit tho boarding school of bis sis
ter-in-law, Miss Met'ioud, (atone timo
a resident of Pittsburg,) on Staten Is
land. 1 be school was vory select and
very strict. It wus Intended to bo an
especially safo placo for the wealthy
young ladies sent there. No harm
was dreamed ot the I. u plain s presence
at tho school. Ha was tho guest ot
his relatives, and a univorsal favorite.
"But," said a gontleman to onr repor
ter yesterday, who knew him at this
timo, "dressed in his handsome Hus
sar uniform, with an indistinguishable
wig of raven black, Capt. Schonley
didn't look moro than halt his fifty
years. Ho was a regular Apollo. His
ventures on Hold and flood had exceed
ed the Moor's; ho had boon tho com
panion of tho royalty and nobility, not
only of rank and station, but of genius
and talent. His conversational powers
wcro remarkable and his grace and car
riage would strike any one, even the vot
orans of society." " hy," continued the
gentleman wo Interviewed, "ono of tho
young ladies of tho school told me long
afterwards that Captain Schenlcy was
such a favorite ho could have carried
off any of tbe girls thore, had not Miss
Schonley been his choice."
The captain's wooing was socret,
prosperous and successlul. Uno day
invited tho other heirs to tako their
choice, saying ho would tako tho third
choice on behalf of Mrs. Denny. Tho
representative of Mrs. Schenlcy took
tho second choice to the O'llara heirs.
In this way, without litigation or dis
cussion, was this immense proporty of
twenty or iwcnty-nve millions divided.
The Schenlcy share, as real estate
values havo turned out, has become
tho most valuable portion ol tbo origi
nal estate. .
he chaporoned Miss Croghan over to
Now ork. Thoy wore secretly mar
ried, and she returned tn school and
resumed bor studies. Four or five
days afterwards they both disappeared
and soon alter it was publicly an
nounced thoy bad bailed on one of the
English packets as man and wife. At
this timo tho captain was forty-eight
years of ago, and bis blooming bride
in her sixteenth year. After a short
rosidonco in England ho returned to
his post ot duty at J ara, accompanied
by Mrs. Schonley. It is stated Quoen
Victoria, to show her disapprobation
of tbo elopement, declined lo receive
tho captain and hiswife. Altera brief
term of service in South Amorica, ('apt.
Schonley returned to Englund. A few
years al'terwads Col. Croghan, Mrs.
Schcnley's father, visited Europe, and
becamo reconciled with his daughter
and her husband. 1 hen tbe captain,
and bis wife and children, at intervals
visited this country, and occupied the

he gave a dinner to Goorgo Peabody,
then on a visit to this country, which
still lingers as a red letter day with
some of our older citizens. His last
visit hero was immediately alter the
close of the war. Ibo nchcnley fumily
now consists of M rs. Schenlcy, one son,
flvo daughters, and three or four grand
children. Ono daughter married Mr.
llarbord, who died the other day ; he
was a younger brother ol Lord Sullield.
A second daughter was married about
a year ago.
Captain Schonley, a gontleman in
forms us, who met him in London a
couple ol years ago, was much attached
to this country, and proferrod it as a
resilience to England. Ho would have
settled horo permanently years ago,
but hit lady preferred English lo
Amorican life. Another point is stated
to rebut tbo idea that he married for
money, and that is ho early formed
the determination not to countenanoe
the Bule of any of his wife's estate, in
order that it should goto their cbildron
unimpurcd. But tbat is an English
notion, and the incomo was not a bad
thing without touching tho principal.
Just what it amounts to, aud what
it yields, no ono knows except the
careful agents, who aro vory clnso
monthed about tbo revenues from It.
It is believed to have beer, the most
valuable third of tho O'llara ostalo as
affairs have turned out. Tho yearly
revenue irom it in rouguiy entiinnteu
at a hundrod thousand dollars, and its
value, even in theso times of low prices,
at tivo or six millions. It bos been a
drag on tho advancement ol Piltsborg
and wo prosumo will remain so for
many years to como, until that day is
rosebud when the mutations of forluno
compel a division or sale of tho ostato.
A singular story is told ol tbo way
the O ilaro estate was divided between
the three heirs. Mrs. Denny, Mrs.
Schonley and Uichard Ilullcr O'llara's
heirs, a good many years ago. The
duty of making the division was con
fided to Hon. 11 armor Denny. Aflor
working at It laboriously be summoned
the heirs and presented three abstracts
of property, embracing tbe divisions
suggested by his sense of justice. Ho
THE VIM E APPLE.
Tho pinuupplo plant is a - native of
tropical America, growing wild In tbo
forest, but is also cultivated in those
regions, at well as to some considera
ble extent in the West Indies and on the
Eastern continent. It has fifteen or
more sorratod, ridged, sharp pointed
loaves sprjujring from the root, resem
bling in itsgoiieral aspect tbo century
plant, but much smaller in size. In
the centre of this cluster of thick suc
culent loaves springs up a short stalk
bearing a spike ot beautilul flowers,
which in timo produces a single pine
apple. On the summit of the frnit is
a tuft ot small leaves, capable of he
coming a new plant, which, together
with suckers, ure tho means by which
it is propagated, as tho cultivated
plant seldom produces seeds. It flour
ishes best in a moist and warm climate,
but is able to survive a long drouth of
cxtromo heat. There are several va
rieties of pineapple, differing in their
loaves, Doing moro or loss spiny on
their edges, and in tho shape and color
ol the fruit. Great care is requisite
in its cultivation, otherwise it will be
course and fibrous, wilh but little sweet
ness. Nothing cun surpass the rich
and delicate flavor of a pineapple which
has been properly grown, or of tho
wild fruit of the forest, which is always
equal if not superior to tho cultivated
ones. A word as to the manner ol
preparing a pineapple for eating Let
the rough exterior first bo removed to
a sulhcicnt depth and then shco tho
fruit longitudinally with core, and not
across the hard centre, as is generally
done with us. As soon should an ear
of corn bo divided in sections when tho
kernels must bo pulled from tho cob,
as a pineapple ac ross the corn, instead
of nicely shooing tho fruit from its ad
herents. The tleliciousncss of a pine
apple when freshly picked from the
plant and prepared in tho above man
ner cannot bo surpassed.

Last week farmer Potts, of Berks
county, was tho victim of a terrible
adventure. Becoming drowsy he laid
under a treo, and whilo sleeping a
snake about ninotccn inches in length
and of a groen color darted into hit
open mouth and descended into bis
stomach. Alter bo awoko bo experi
enced a peculiar und sickening sensa
tion. At times frothed at tho mouth,
and bis eyes almost started from their
eockuts. A physician pressed bis car
to Pott's breast and distinctly heard
the movements ot the reptile. Tbe
victim was required to inhale the steam
of boiled milk, which produced a strang
ling sensation, tho snako having made
an unsuccessful effort to leave tho
stomach. Potts was then led under a
shed roof and put on a wagon. A
strong rope was tied to a beam and
socurely wrapped around tho legs of
the sufferer. Tho wagon was then
pulled away, and Potts was left dang
ling head down. Whilo in this posi
tion he again inhaled tbe steam of boil
ing milk. Tho patient's tonguo pro
truded and his eyes started. The thick
steam flowed into his throat and tho
sufferer made a noiso as if chocking.
Then quick as thought tbo doctor saw
a head protrude, and seizing it with
his naked fingers bo quickly pulled and
tbo reptile was dashed into an empty
bucket, in a lew seconds 1 otts was

His eyes wore bloodshot and every

Ho was carried into the house and put
to bed, and light lood was administer

It is self-evident that no school can
bo successful without a good teacher;
and the only way to obtain a good
teacher it to offer a reasonable compen
sation for his services. Wo will see
tho reasonableness of this assertion
when wo consider that a person who
is qualified for teaching school is also
qualiflod for almost any kind of busi
ness ; and tho samo qualities ot mind
and character which make him a suc
cessful tcackcr, will secure him success
in almost any occupation in life.

Teaching is an art. Men don't nick
up art skill without much closo study
and patient toil. To teach Is not like
pouring grain into tbe hopper of a mill.
I o leacn is to develop, to train, lo make
men wiser, bettor, puror, happier : and
the teacher of music bat much of this
work to dn. To teach, requires moro
than more knowledge affords, more
than a mere acquaintance wilh the
subject to bo taught. Ho who aims to
train the mind and hearts of pupils.
ought to know something about the
mind and hoart of the pupil. The man
of great knowledge is not nscossarily
qualified to teach, because of his learn
ing, no more than he may be giftod to
speak in public. To possess or to ac
quire knowledge, hi one thing ; to im
part It to olhors, Is quite another. Yet

Thoro is, to our thinking, a great
difference betwoen religious oxporienco
and experience in religion. The form
er may exist in one who has made but
littio progress in tho divine lifo, and
whoso profession is fur in advance of
bis possession. But tho latter is tho
lifo of tho trno disciple of Christ Tho
entire body of bclievors falls into these
two classes, the moro professionals, and
the people of serero and self-chosen
discipline. Tho former are a dead
weight upon tho church, and aro to
deficient in the cardinal qualities of
truo Christian life that they cannot
even soe their own weakness and for
mality ; the latter aro the horses of the
present living church, its standard-bear
ers, its noblest spirits, who aro to-day
achioving all the great triumphs o!
Christendom, and Irom whom are to
come all the vitality and power and
ocauiy oi tho church ot the future.
In this life, our helps often harden
into hindrances. But wo are coming

tears, joy or sorrow, will bo seen to
bavo had a relation to onr hravonly
state ; and when all the hindrances of
this world bave passed away, we shall
spring up into our full stature as men
in Christ Jesus. Says Ihj apostle:
"It is sworn in dishonor; it is raised
in glory ; it is sown in weakness ; it is
raised in power. It docs lot yet ap
pear what we shall be, but, O poor and
limping saint I thou wilt yet walk with
head arrayed brighter than the stars.
O bowed-down, oppressed and joyless
soul, hard bestead 1 the patience and
the courage which do not teem to
evolve much joy' or radiance are the
capital of tho other lifo ; and when you
die, they will break forth in your souls
into coronation joys. And although
we have such a vivid conception of
God, as the Creator and Governor, as
the very Thought ol tboua-ht as the
Soul of intelligence, yet, bo is not half
so much God In knowlodgo and pow
er as he is in dispositions. It hi the
God of the heart, and not the God of
the head, that will fill tbe universe wilh ;'
untold joy, and make the summer oi '
immortality thrice blessed. ,
