THE ROSE JAR. I remec:in my childhood, in a quaint, oldfashioned room, Arose->r flushed with crimson, like tla colors of the dawn; It stood upon a little shelf, filled to odorous brim. With r that bid blossomed in the Bummers past and gone. Oc what a charm swept oer me. when sometimes sitting there. I held the j *r in careful hands, and breathed its fragrant scent: Heard the bees go h-mming, and Ifeltt e breezes blow. I saw the river flowing where the drooping ’ willow bent. Bwe*.fr .4 you say the roses that bloomed for you are dead. You only have the withered leaves to hold within your heart The summer s warmth has gone, an thegol lea sunshir* fled. And the of cruel winter, their blasting chill impart. I enly ki. u that now and then, your heart has stood ajar. And thoughts like perfume sweet and rare across your soul have swept: Dear tho lixe summer b " ms. swift t thoughts, like eager br > Shy th like r .ue-eyed violets, where summer showers have wept Then keeu the withered rose-leaves, preserve them in your heart. Their perfume blesses other Eves with oi summer hours. And friend, dear friend, though winter snow lies white and chill to-day. Yet, after winter comes the May. and springtime brings the flowers. —Gussie P Dubois, In Chicago Interior Program For Sunday School Convention to held at Clark e Chapel. Saturday.

William Closs was born in Ohio, in July, 1836. and died May s . 1895. aged years and about 10 months. His life has nearly all been spent here in ; Decatur, he having moved here when a small boy. For twelve or thirteen years he kept a : restaurant in this city. He was a great genius { to work, bav.ng made many useful and orna- I mental articles to adorn the house. By his friendly ways and honest dealings he had gained a great many friends. Alrout sixteen ■ years ago he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Yager, who bears testimony to the fact that ! he was a good and faithful husband. His ; father and mother, two brothers and a sister have gone on before, while two brothers. Mr. j John Closs of Cincinnati!, and Mr. Jacob ’ Closs of this city, and a sister Mrs. Jesse Niblick, also of this city, are left with the widow and other friends to mourn the sudden departure of the loved one. When a child he was very sick and the : strong medicine which he took at that time settledin his right arm and deprived him of its use. His health was good for the most part until about two weeks before he died. ’ during which time he was feeling rather poorly and frequently remarked that he would , have to give up work. On Monday;afternoon. May 6. he went to his sister's. Mrs. Niblick, feeling as well as he had for the past few I days. On his return home about five o’clock he took a dose of quinine and asketffora i drink of water. His wife took the pail and | ran to the well, but on her return with the water she found him lying on the lounge unconscious in which condition he remained un- ' til the time of his death which occurred Wed-j nesday morning at two o’clock. He died ' without a struggle, peacefully passing away i like one going to sleep. Funeral services were held by Pastor IL H. Smith of the Bap- i tist church, at the Thursday afternoon. I He was laid at rest in Maplewood cemetery j

The Enormous Ransom Offered for the Picture of St. Jerome. On the throne of Modena was an Austrian archduke; his government was remorselessly shattered and virtually destroyed. The ransom was fixed at ten million francs and twenty of the best pictures in the principality. But on that of Parma was a Spanish prince with whose house France had made one treaty and hoped to make a better one. The grand duke, therefore, was graciously allowed to purchase an armistice by an enormous but possible contribution of two millions in money together with provisions and horses in quantity. The famous St. Jerome of Correggio was among the twenty paintings seized in Modena, The archduke repeatedly offered to ransom it for one million francs, the amount at which its value * was estimated, but his request wan not granted. Next came Bologna and -its surrounding territory. Such had been the tyranny of ecclesiastical control that the subjects of the pope in that most ancient and famous seat of learning welcomed the French with unfeigned joy: and the fairest portion of the papal states passed by its own desire from under the oh! yoke. The successor of St. Peter was glad to ransom his capital by a payment nominally of twenty-one million francs. In reality it was far more: for his galleries, like those of Modena, were stripped of their gems, while the funds seized in government offices, and levied in irregular ways, raised the total value forwarded to Paris to nearly double the nominal contribution. All this. Bonaparte explained. was but a beginning, the idleness of summer heats. ‘’This armistice.*’ he wrote to Taris on June 21, 1796, “being concluded with the dogstar rather than with the papal army, my opinion is that you should be in no haste to make peace, so that in September. if all goes well in Germany and northern Italy, we can take possession of Rome.”—Prof. Sloane, in Century. —lt is estimated that of the total Hum raised for the support of the Prottestant churches of this country, over one-third is now procured by the efforts or labors of women.
