"I'm afraid bhe'd tke the parish

"Well, there's work enough for

Phelps, "I think that the person

In fact, every lady in Lennox bad

her out."
"She's Lncretia' Sister, you

"And her voice rather drowns La

Mr. Lindsay was giving great sat
isfaction. The sari.-hiotiers talked
of re-modeling the old rectory, add
ing a wing and a hav window, and
even apoke of taking in an adjoin
ing field, so that "Lucretia might
have a flower garden." They even
meditated an increase of salary a
soon as be shoulJ be scattled in the
parish, and Mr. Grim thought he
would add a codicil to his will, in
favor of the new uastor and Lucre-

"When they're married," reckon
ed Misa Ricb, with unchristian
ttiritt, "we shall have all our church
trappings embroidered for nothing,

"Dojnu think Susan will live
with 'em?"1 asked Mrs. Phelps.
"P'r'as he won't care about marry

"He's ioerful kind to Susan,
though."
"He takes a sight of notice of her." j

"She's lieen -pretty much in the

Slow. "Perhaps she's tired of the
situation."
"But she oueht to have more con

mind her. There they were all three

studying the heavens.'
"A proper btudy for a clergyman,"
aid Dr. Slow.
"And he was pointing out all the
consternations, and it seeemed to
me they was looking at him instead

"Well' no, not exactly." laughed
Mr. Phelps, "not unleea he's given

it were.
"Perhaps," said Mr. Lindsay, af
ter a pause "perhaps ou will be

"And larger salary," allowed Mr
Lindsay. "Double in fact "
"'I suppose," persisted Miss Rich,
after the wedding "I suppose Lu

Folly and Flowers.
Tbe tribute of flowers on mortuary
or nuptial occasions is so common
and profuse that they smother senti
ment often out of sight and are ac
tually offensive to good taste. A
sentiment is touched by either event
and flowers are the embodiment of
grief or joy. The modest and beau
tiful boquet that was deemed sufli
cieiit in former times is sujietseded
by floral displays rivaling a floncul
tural exhibition, and incongruous
piles of devices, hardly regarded and
perhaps not known save in the re
ports of the gentlemen of the pres,
crowd the mourners or the mated
with such profusion that it becomes
a puzzle what to do with them. It
is the fashion to do it, and florists
are taxed to produce original pieces,
not so mucb to express respectful or
more tender grief but for the sake of
getting up something new. At fu
nerals is this excess most manifest,
and whole carriages are at times de
voted to bearing to the grave the va
rious lyres, baskets, pillows, broken
shafts, gate ajar and what not. that
are but half seen through the mourn
er's tears, and subject to the curious,
who speculate on their cost and
criti ise their construction or appro
priateness. The latter criticism of
ten obtains where designs are sent
that have little or no relevancy in
their meaning, as was the case some
time since, where a spectator said,
regarding the floral tributes for one
who Dad led a Iiie that would not
have met tbe approval of the angels:
" by, the designs were elegant, and
among the reel was a beautiful gate
ajar that waa very graceful." A
tuodest old lady who bad beard the
eulogiura of the flowers, and knew
the party honored, replied: "Which

Napoleon's lr.c Love A flair.
BY MARY KYLE DALLAS.
It ia an old and well-worn story
that of tbe young man who told his
lriend that he " might have had that
girl." and when asked to explain.
replied
Wal, I proposed to her once.
and the said she'd rather be excus
ed, and I, like a darned fool, excus
ed her. But Napoleon Bonaparte s
brat Iwve affair was very much the
same.
When Paul Francois Jean Nicho
las Barn's, the celebrated French
revolutionist, first took the poor
young officer. Napoleon Bonaparte,
under bis wing, be took a great
J liking and an intense admiratiou foi
him, and felt sure that be would
one day be a great man.
In order to succeed, however,
Barraj believed that he should have
money, and resolved to find lor him
a rich wile.
For some reason he pitched cpon
a woman tor this position who,
though verv handsome, was no long
er young.
?ne was an actress known as
Mademoiselle Montansier, though
she had been married and was a
widow. It is said of her that she
knew all the arts of the Unlet to per
fection, and did not look forty,
but she was sixty years of age. Na
poleon was t went) -five, but Barras
selecu-d him for this lady's hus
band. Accordingly, having notified both
of his iuteniion, praised the wit at d
vivacity of Madamoiselle to tie
young officer, and told tbe ladv
plainly that she could buy with her
wealth a husband who could g've
her the high position he was sure to
attain.
How far his foresigl t went one
cannot ascertain, tie gave a supper
for the purpose of introducing them
nd arranged Bonaparte should take
the lady to table, ami sit beside br
during that meal, enjoining him to
make himself agreeable for once in
hi life, to a lady,
Tbi, however, wa entirely out of
Napoleon's line. His manners with
the f;tir sex were those of a bear
He could talk to men, and have
something to say, but he had noth
ing to say to a girl. Had he desir
ed to woo, be would have done it in
rough ftshion enough. His place
was in the camp, or on the field;
and in a salon, amongst nowers,
and music and charming women
nd men of gallantry, he assuredly
was not n his element.
At that time he desired money be-
? r r i alt t Vi i ti rra unil nrli ra rta t

bis best to be areeahb He did not
su(ceeit, however. Soon Barras was
told that the lady had ber back to
Napoleon, and was talking to anoth
er man, one oi tnose gallant i-ren-h-
inen who did not recognize the fact
that a woman is growing old until
she confesses it herself, when he,
being obliged to admit it, protests
that age is but an added charm.
At a distance, and in the candle
light. Mademoiselle was yet lovely.
"Confound Napoleon! he could
not do better," muttered Barras. as
the future emperor leaned bck in
his chair with a wide, undisguised
yawn. " Why does he not put out
his hand for the million that might
be his?"
When it became possible be
delivered a lecture to bis portege.
" Napoleon." he said, " wealth
means everything tn you. I have
itifloer.ee with Mademoiselle Mon
tansier ; offer at once ; faint heart
never won fair lady."
"She h old enough to be my
grandmother," said Napoleon.
" However, I do not care for women;
they are all alike, and money would
be worth having, even with an old
girl tacked to it ; III propose. I
can't make love, but I'll say :
" Mademoiselle, will vou marry
me?'
"That is a grod, honest, sold'eriy
fashion, at least," said Barras. "And
see. she is very handsome still."
Napoleon shrugged his shoulders,
but half an hour after this, Barras,
to his jov, saw the two sitting in a
corner together. He arew hi guests

ANOTHER VaAYMARK IX THE
MARCH OP TIME.
When the Hoo. Theodore Fre-
liugbaysen was Chancellor of the
Lnirersity of New York, he called
the attention of the assembled stu
dents on New Year's day. or iust
afterwards, to the "Letter" suggest
ed by the return of that anniversary,
which be bad been reading in the
New York Observer, of that week.
and he commends the thoughts
thereio to their serious consider
ation.
Ibis little incident I now recall.
as he mentioned it to me, because
it ione of the reminders ef the)
march of time, and helps me to
courage and strength in the work
set before me. Many teachers, be
sides that illustrious Philanthro
pist and Senator, have told me that
this weekly "Letter" is regularly
read to tee school, as one ot its ex
ercises, and they give me such kind
ly assurances as to make it more of
a pleasure than a task. But it ia
increasingly wonderful that tbe
readers patience has not long since
oeeo exhausted, and in place of
words of cheer that 1 have not been
greeted as was the tedious speaker
ho said to the wearied Sundav
School, "And what more shall I say?"
"Say Amen," piped a rude boy, and
the chsrus of the school brought
the speaker down. If any of my
readers would come to my relief in
'hia way, I would cheerfully yield
tae noor.
We do not make enough ot these
vaymarks on the pathway of hu
man Iiie. When I have- seen a
merchant, with all clerks and aids
of every name engaged in "taking
aa account of stock," thus ascertain
ing bow he stands with the world;
what he has sold and what he has
on hand; I have thought the same
process ought to be pursued every
year with us spiritual and intellect
ual creatures. What have we gain
ed and wnat have we lost in tbe
year ji closed; nd what do we
ompoae for the year to come? In
fact, the great want of the dy in
hich we are living is a habit of re
flection, or meditation, or any way
of thinking at alL We have so
much to do, that we tike no time to
think. I have seen a line on tomb
- .
",-c" "3
"Stop, noor sinner, stop and
think," and it would not be an un
profitable inscription for a marble
set up in the market-place or street,
where we. poor sinners all, might
see it and be reminded of this neg
lected duty and pleasure.
One of my many duties and
pleasures is to write to you once a
week And it fiils me with grati
tude to God to think and know,
that year in and year out, so fa
back as I can associate this work
with weeks, there has been no
week, in sicknes sr in health, in
heat or in cold, (it is zero now) at
borne or abroad, when I have not
been able to keep this voluntary
appointment with you. And bow
great is the sum of them? When
the Rev. Dr. Manning, of London,
a great literary and religious work
er was in this country a few years
ago, he asked me to explain the
secret of doing the greatest amount
of work without icrifice of life or
health. I cor dt-used the answer
into two words :
CHEERFUL I5DCSTBY
He thought a moment, repeated
them, and said, "It is all there, I
do believe." It is. Industry with
out cheerfulness wears out, wastes,
and perhaps kill-: c'leerf'ilness with
out industry begets idleness: all
play with no work brings nothing
to diss worth living for. But yoke
the two into one team, and business
hums and spins; the work is done
with a will and the joy of the crafts

and intellectual enjovment in this

Maintaining Fertility.
It is of the utmost importance
that we farmers make all the stable
manure we can; but even if half the
farm be kept in permanent pasture,
and the rest in corn, oats, wheat and
three years clover and timothy, we
cannot get more than enough for
one of tbe two crops, corn or wheat
Wbich crop shall get it? If only
one, then the other will suffer. Sup
pose we give the manure to the
corn, plowing it in shallow, or drag
ging it into the hills, we may get
seventy bushels where we would
only get ten without the manure.
But now what shall we do for the
wheat? Here the commercial ma
nures mav heln us oat. Chemistry
teaches that ordinarily the soil and
air supplies enough of all the need
ed food for plants, except three con
stituent nitngen compounds, so
d and potash. Phosphates made
from bones, with other animal re
fuse added, may contain these sub
stances in fairly suitably propor
tion; bat farmers are learning that
tries manures can be too easily
adulterated, and in their experience
they are getting better success with
raw ground bone than with super
phosphate from bone or Sooth Caro

compact clay soils bone-meal gives
a good crop of wheat without any

Not only do the male Mexicans
ride, but also a few of the native la
dies and many of the foreign ladies,
especially the English and Ameri

dare be seen in public on horseback,
as it is here considered a vulgar
form of exercise for women. There
is no accounting for taste, and
probaLIy some of our American
customs appear quite as absurd
to the Mexicans as this idea of
theirs concerning horse-back ex
ercise seem to us. Ladies who take
horseback exercise here usualy adopt
the Mexican costume, as far as the
hat is concerned, wearing a very
broad-brimmed felt hat (sin par in
shape to the ordinary Mexican
sombrero ), in either black, light
gray or pale maroon color. In these
sombreros, which are made ef much
