Cardinal Oolooa, after his elevatiou to the clialr of St. Peter, by Martin the Fifth, when reduced to apply to hiin for pecuniary assi.Htance, acrupled tot to pledge to htm the oontificial crown, and aftersranl creatoa him Duke of Monteverdi,

At hb death, notwithstanding the immense treasures which he bequeathed to his family, yet so boundless had been his targsases and donations to the necessitous among his fellow-citisens, that he was attended to the grave by a prodigious concourse of his weeping countrymen, and honored with the title of "Father of the Poor.**

Cosmo, toe eldest, son succeeded to his virtue*, and far excelled him in strength of genius, power and reputation. Banished from Florence by a triumphant faction, he was recalled only to enjoy an augmented degree of public confidence. His influence, alwavs exerted to produce the most beneficial and laudable effects, attained a strength and solidity which no despotism oould have conferred. Constantly engaged in commerce, he employed and enriched a multitude of persons, who in return sustained his own greatness. His vessels traded at every port, and his factors at Constantinople, Cairo, and along the c&ast of Lesser Asia, enjoyed the most distinguished consideration.

The saltans of Egypt, the emirs of Babylon, and the Turkish emperors were all connected with him by commercial ties.

revious to their final destruction by the Second. To the claims to the admiration of his conteigporariee and of posterity which commerce and riches could confer, Cosmo added anothei by his princely protection of letters.

The memorable era, distinguished by the name of "the age of Medici," commenced with Cosmo, and forms an epoch iu the annals of literature. His housn was the asylum of genius and talent from every part of Italy and Greece. The most precious manuscripts, preserved by his care from the barbarous rage of the Turks, and purchased by his order, were transmitted to future times. Numbers af learned men, driven by Turkish sultans to take refuge in Florence and other Italian states, received from his bounty a liberal provision, and repaid hiin bj their grateful eulo^iums.

More fortunate in the close of his life than Pericles, Cosmo, after,presiding during thirty years over the republic, during which time he embellished thecapital with monument Si of utility and magnificence, expired at a very advanced age, free from the infirmities by which it is usually accompanfed. His memory was inexpressibly dear to his countrymen, who, by a public decree, inscribed on his tomb the glorious title of "Father of his Country.

Position of th* Body la Sleep!**. Position affects sleep. A constrained or uncomfortable posture will often prevent repose. Lying flat on one's back with the limbs relaxed would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest to the muscular system. This is the position assumed in the most exhausting diseases, and it is generally bailed as a token of revival when a patient voluntarally turns on his side but there are several disadvantages in th* supine posture which impair or embarrass sleep. Thus, in weakly states of the heart and blooa vessels, and in certain morbid conditions of the brain, the blood seems to gravitAt* to the back of the bead and produce troublesome dreams. In persons who habitually stoop, in their gait or work, there is probably some distress consequent on straightening the spine. Tho** who hav* contracted chests, necialiy persons who have pleurisv and etain auhosion* of the lungs, do not sleep well on the back. Nearly all who are inclined t« snore do so when in that position, because the soft palate and ivula hang on th* tongue, and that ornartialiy close the top of the wmapipe. It is better, therefore, to be on the side, and in the "abchest disease, rendering

The other night at the Union Depot one of the depot nands, while sweeping out, thought ne saw a twenty-five cent bit under one of the benches. He went down on his knees immediately and covered the piece with his hand. While he was in this position a well-dressed ladv tapped him on the shoulder and said: *'I just dropped that."

A Half Cent's Worth of Bliss for Two. Rev. A. S. Leinbach, of Reading, reoeived a note from Sinking Spring a few days ago, requesting him to be ready to marry a couple at his residence on a certain day. The clergyman was waiting on the day appointed, but the oounle did not appear, and he supposed tney had changed their minds. The next day, however, while he was absent from home and the ladies of his household were busied with their domestic duties, th* door-bell was rung and on the steps stood the oouple rrom the country. The girl was quite young, but the man was considerably older. They said the rain had kept them at home on the day appointed, but they desired to be married at once. They were invited in and Rev. Mr. Leinbach was searched for at the Post-office and elsewhere, without suocess. Another minister from the country, however, was met by the messenger, and requested to perform the ceremony. He went to Kev. Leinbach's house, two ladies of the family were called as witnesses and the nuptial knot was tied. After reoeiving a nandsome marriage certificate the oouple took their leave, and at the moment of departure the groom put into the hands of the officiating clergyman something rolled up in white pa-

er. They tnen departed in such as to excite surprise. The package was opened and roll after roll of paper removed, until at last the marriage fee was found—an old-fashioned oopper half-cent at 1832. —Rtadinq opper nait-(

THX hero of the story is Captain who rules the water several companions were standing on the pavement conversing about futures, freight, etc., when his nautical eye was riviied on a shining object on the sidewalk near foot, It was. indeed, a smali iionanza in the shape of a silver quarter. The Captain did not call out: "Hello, shipmates, 1 have found a quarter, have any of you boys dropped it?"' Not much bufjbe quietly put his loot *n the coin. Then be called the attention of the crowd to a distent flight of pelicans, and while they were looking away he stooped down quietly and, without being observed by anybody, he gathered in that quarter. Then he whispered in a joyous whisper to a confidential friend: Don't say anything to the rest of the boys. Tve found a quarter. Let's take a stroll Into a saloon." And they slid off sideways, unobserved, into a banquet halt Ther wiped their mouths, .and the hardy mariner went into his clothes for his quarter, and it was gone, but on the floor glittered another quarter. Then a change came o'er the table of his thoughts. It flashed over him in a second that there was a hole in his that the quarter on which he 'em up" was really his own, and that besides that quarter about three dollars la change was missing.

Will Edseatl** Yield Sibgtsteaeef An sducaUon, yes, bnt what sort of an education A bricklayer's education, an artisan's, a farmer s, would indeed help him to earn a living. A oollege education would give htm a social advantage, but it would net. in itself, Increase his chance of earning a living it would rather diminish it. For, as was pointed out in an interesting paper latelv published in this axine, our colleges do not, like French and German universities, instruct a young man in the bread-win-ning pursuits the American colleges are, on the contrary, institutions lor general culture. I do not take up the question here of the amount and value of the eulture they supply. The point for us to note is that the eduoated young American who has not a special education as a bread-winner is worse off, as to his money prospects, than the young American who has no college education at all. Dig he cannot,-and to beg he is ashamed. Two of the professions at least are fatally overcrowded. The United States, with a population not greatly larger than that of the German Empire, graduates every year five times as many physioians for the German Empire limits the number of its doctors, and we do not limit that of ours. Very many of our physicians not only wait years for practice, but never get into practice at all. It is much the ttame with the profession of law. In both professions there are prises for a few, and failures, more or less complete, for the many. The engineering, mining and other scientific professions offer a somewhat better chance, and pub* lie life, almost neglected as a profession, will attract a better class of young men from year to year. But upon none of these, save in favored and exceptional cases, as where a son succeeds to his father's practice, can a young man depend for fortune, or even for immediate support. They, too, offer a certain social dignity. But as a rule it is the laborer, artisan, or tradesman that has the better chance of supporting himself it is the educated man that has, more {requentlv, to wait before he can pay his way. If, therefore, we educate our sons, it is all the better reason why we should provide, not indeed for their independence, but some aid during the years w'lich they are likely to spend in waiting before they can achieve their position.

It is to be remombered, too, that these years of waiting may become, with 8U3I1 aid, years of scholarly or scientific accomplishment, if not of moneymaking: years of strengthened preparation: years that mi^nt introduce and brighten a career, instead of wasted years that eloud or spoil it. T. M. Coan* in Harper's Magazine.

Transplanting Evergreens. The prevalent feeling upon this subject is near akin to suporstition. Imaginary difficulties are as abundant as ghost stories, and practices as absurd as exorcism are freely suggestod. Kach year hatches out a new brood of boasters who cackle in the agricultural papers over their fancied ingenuity in accomplishing without ruinous losses thing whicn has really accomplished itself, by virtue of its natural facility and in spite of their absurd precautions.

Tne black oak drops its leaves in autumn. The white oak shrivels them up but will not let them fall till spring, exoept in severe climates. The live oak is always green. Nature's law of

{s

growth is the same in all the oaks. It the law of decay which varies. Neither do needle-shaped leaves indicate anew problem. The pine is evergreen, the larch deciduous but tney grow alike. The general law in all cases is this: new leaves are produced upon new wood. The power of old wood to retain old leaves makes all the difference, and that Is of nooonsequence in transplanting.

There are many apparent exceptions to this general rule and some real ones but all the phenomena of adventitious buds and latent powers of development are held In oommca. The same laws govern all, both as to uniformities and variations. The practioal differences are between different species of each family, and not between the two families. On the average, suoh evergreen species as are commonly chosen for ornamental trees bear transplanting better than their deciduous companions: and the same comparison holds good in regard to pruning. Indeed, the more common evergreen lawn trees are the tvne victims of much barbarous treatment. Many persons have no affection for nature! beauty and ao reverence for unstudied gracefulness. There Is no genuine vitality rigid enough to satisfy their longings, and they select that which is most patient of contradiction and prune it into artificial formality. Henoe arise Ignorant prejudices concerning trees, which control the judgment of those who know nothing bat gardens and courtyards, and influence many who have opportunity to loam the truth.

Both evergreen and deciduous trees sprout in spring, grow during summer, harden their shoots and form terminal buds in th* autmnn, re mate torpid in winter, each year's growth forming a ring in every crow section of the trunk.

The time and method of transplanting should, consequently, be the.same for both. With ordinary oar* and skill, and reasonably favorable conditions of soli and exposure, a thousand Horway spruce trees can be set out in fall or spring without a single failure. It Is scarcely possible to do the SUM thing in August with plants over two years old. though yeaning* can be dibbled In. like tomatoes or cabbages, at any time, and low replaced.—Ofcrialfcm Union.
