'What the Burdock WatOeod For. Good for nothing." the farmer said, Aa ho mad j a sweep at the burdock's head; But then, he thought it was best, no doubt. To come some day and root It out. Bo be lowered his scythe, aud went his way. To eee his com. to gather his hay ; And the weed grew safe and stroug and tall. Close by the side of the garden wall. Good for a home," cried the little toad, A a he hopped up out of the dusty road. He had just been having a dreadful fright, . The boy who gare It was yet In sight. Here it was cool and dark and green. The aalest kind of a leafy screen. The toad was happy; 'For," said he, 'The burdock was plainly meant lor me." "Good for a prep," the spider thought. And to and fro with care he wrought. Till he fastened It ell to an evergreen, And 'spun his cables fine between. 'Twaa a beautiful bridge a triumph of skill; The flies came 'round, aa idlers will; The spider lurked In his corner dim. The more that came, the better lor him. God for play," said a child, perplext , To know what frolic was coming next. So she gathered the burrs that all despised. And her city playmate was quite surprised To see what a beautiful basket or chair Could be made, with a little time and care. They ranged their treasures about with pride, And played all day by the burdock's side. Nothing la lost in this world of ours; Honey comes from the idle flowers; The weed which we pas in utter scorn, May save a life by another morn. Wonders await us at every turn. We must be silent, and gladly learn. No room for recklessness or abuse, Since eveu a burdock has Its use. Polly Gardner and the Draw-Bidge. Julia K. Hildreth in Harper'l Yeung People.1 Polly Gardner had been spending her vacation with Aunt ilary in the country. She would have been "perfectly happy" but that her father and mother were obliged to remain in the city. It was five weeks since aha had seen them, and it seemed to Tolly like five months. One lovely afternoon Polly sat on the horse-block idly kicking one foot backward and forward, watching Aunt Mary as she drove off on a visit to a sick neighbor. Birds w ere singing, bees were humming, and the slender branches of the great graygreen willows that shadowed the road moved softly with every light puff of wind. Away off in the field over the hilli Tolly could hear the ring of the mowers' scythes. Everything was so pleasant and peaceful that she wished her parents were there to enjoy it with her. Just as Aunt 31ary was hidden from sight by a bend in the road, she heard the crunching of wheels in the opposite direction, and, on looking up, found it was another rcagon, driven by .Mr. "Ward, the grocer and postman of Willow Grove. lie checked his horse at the gate, and began fumbliog slowly in hi coat-pocket for some thing. After considerable searching, be drew out a white envelope, and turned it first one way and then another, shook hi3 head, and began feeling in his pockets again, brought forth hia spectacles, adjusted them carefully upon his nose, and once more began examining the letter. At last he read in a loud voice: "'Miss Polly Gardner, in care of Mrs. Mary West, VVillow Grove. In haste.'" Then he peeped over hia glasses severely at Tolly, and asked, sharply, "Who's 5lbs Polly Gardner? Do you know, little girl?" ,4Oh, that's mel" cried Polly, jumping from the horse-block, "and Mrs. Mary West ia aunty. Please give me my letter. It's from mamma. I am so glad I' 'Can you read?" asked Mr. Ward, still boldin g the letter far above Tolly's reach. "Yea, of course," cried Polly, indignantly. "I'm nine years old next week." " "Wery well. Miss Tolly Gardner, here's your letter. But if your mar hadn't put In hafte' on the outside of it, you would have had to come and fetch it yourself," said Mr. Ward, as he handed the letter down to Polly. "Thank you ever so much," said Tolly, tearing her letter open nervously. After reading it once, she taid 4 'Oh fin a de lighted voice. "Nothing the matter?" inquired Mr. Ward, who still sat looking at Polly. ''No; but mother and father are "coming tday, if this is the 24th of AugU3t" "Yes, it ia the 24lh. But let's see your letter, and I can tell you what they mean." Polly handed her letter back to Mr. Ward, who read it auud slowly: ' 'Dearest Tolly Tapa finds he can leave his business for a short timj, bo we have concluded t spend the remainder of your vacation with you and Aunt Mary. We shall Uke the train and reach Willow Grove at 4:30 p. in. on the 24th. Tell Aunt Mary to meet U3 if she has time. u 'Love to all and a thousand kisses from 'Mamma and Tapa.' ''Well," said Mr. Ward, as he gave Tolly back he letter, "they'll be here in about a half-hour, for it is almost 4 now. I guess I'll be moving; it's timo I was back to the store." So he chirped to his horse, turned the wa&on, and wa soon out of sight. As Aunt Mary would not return before 5 o'clock. Tolly determined to walk down to the railroad station, and meet her 'father and mother alone. She had often been there with Aunt Mary to watch the trains come and go. It was a small station, and very few people stopped there. Just before reaching the station the railroad rossed a draw-bridee. Tolly liked to watch the man open and shut the draw as the boat3 in the rjyer passed through There was a foot-path over this bridge, and Polly had once crossed it with Aunt Mary. They had stopped to speak to the flagman, who was pleasant and good-natured. He told Poliy where she could find some beauti ful white lilies in a pond not far away. That was more than a week ago, and the flowers were not then open, and now as Pol ly ran down the road eta thought she would nave time to gather some for her parents be lore the trainarrived. When Polly reached the station she found no one there, and on looking' at the clock. saw that it was only ten minutes past 4, so she had just twenty minutes to wait. Then he ran on quickly. The flagman stood by the. draw, and Polly saw, some distance down the river, a small eesel coming toward the bridge. She ran along rapidly, and as she passed the flagman ne caiiea out: "Going for the lilies? The pood was all white with them when I went by tails morning." "Yes, sir; I want to pick seme for mm ma and papa. They wrote me a letter tvnd said they were coming in the next train. "You don't say sol Well. I guess you're giaa. ixxK out lor the locomotive, and don't take too long picking your flower, and you'll have plenty of ti ma to get back before the train comes in." Polly thanked him and ran on. In about five minutes she reached the pond. How lovely the lilies looked, with their snowy cups resting upon the dark water I But their stems were long and tough, and most of ihem grew far beyond her reach. She con-

trired to secure four. Tolly was sorry to leave so many behind, but was afraid if she lingered too long the would Miss the train. So, gathering op the blosioma, she pinned them into her belt, and scampered back toward the bridge. The boat had just sailed through the draw, and the man stood ready .to close the bridge, when Polly came up. He looked over at her from the center of the bridge, and called out with a smile: "Couldn't you get any more flowers than those? If I had time to go to the pond, you should have as many as you could carry .'J Tolly smiled back at him, apd then began to watch him as he made ready to turn the great bridge back into place for the train to oaesover. His hand was already on the

crank, when a ropo dangling over the railing of the bridge attracted his attention. As he tried to pull it in, it seemed to be caught underneath. Tolly watched him lean over to get a better nou, wnen, vo ner great horror, the piece of railing to which he was holding gave way. There was a sudden icream, ano a great splash in the water. But before the waves of the swiftly flowing river closed over him, Polly heard the cry. "The train! the flag!' Poor little Tolly! She was so alarmed for the poor man's safety that for some moments she could think of nothing else, and ran backward and forward wringing Her hands in despair. As he arose to the sur face she saw that be made iraciic gestures to her, and pointed up the road from which the train was to come. He seemed to keep himself above water with very little effort, and Tolly saw. with joy that the accident had been observed by the occupants of the vessel. The man in the water struck out toward the boat, and Polly could hear shouts and cheers lrom the men on board. All at once she was startled by the far-off whistle Of the approaching locomotive. In a moment she understood tho meaning of the flagman's gestures. She looked at the open apace and then at the bridge. In five minutes or less the train would come dashing into that terrible chasm. Polly's hair almost rose on her head with horror. It was as much as she could do to keep her senses. There must be some way to avert the aw ful calamity. She ran swiftly along toward the rapidly approaching train. Ljing on the ground just by the small wooden house where the flagman generally sat, Polly saw a red flag. She remembered having heard that this flag was used in a case of danger, or when there was any reason for stopping the cars. She did not know whether there was yet time, but sbe seized the flag and flew wildly up the track. "Oh, my papa! oh, my mammal" ehe cried; "they will fall into the river and be drowned! What shall I do?"' and Polly waved the fla? backward and forward as ö she ran. Then came the train around the curve. She could see the white sU su puffing from the pipe, and could hear the panting of the engine. - "I know they'll run over me, but if mam ma and papa are killed, I don't care to live," she said to herself, as the approached the great Dlack noiev engine. When it was about SIX) feet away lrom her, she saw a head thrust out of the little window by the locomotive, and then, with a great puffing, snortinsr, and whistling, it began to move slower analower, until at last, when it was tAmoK Ajtx Polly, it stopped entirely. S All the windov' yCro alive with heads and hands. The r yogerj screamed and waved her off thcjrtrack. She stepped off and ran close up to the side of the engine and gasped out, "The bridge is open, and the man has fallen into the river. Please stop the train or you'll be drowned." The engineer stared in amazement, as well he might, to see a small girl with a flushed face, hair blown wildly about, and four lilies pinned in her belt, waving the red flag as though she had been used to flagging trains all her life. At that moment another remarkable figure presented itself to tho astonished eyes of the passengers. A man, dripping wet, bruised and scratched as though he had been drawn through briers, came tearing toward the cars, stumbling and almost falling at every step. Aa he reached little Pollf, he snatched her up and covered hor with kisses. "You little darling," he cried, "do you know what you've done? You've saved the lives of more than a hundred people." Tolly, nervous and excited, began to cry. One after another the passengers came hurrying outo f the train and crowded around her, praising and kissing her, until she was quite ashamed, and hid her head upon the kind flagman's shoulder, whispering "Plea?e take me away and And mamma and papa." Almost the last to alight were Polly's parents. "Why, it's our Polly I" they both exclaimed at once. The draw was now being closed again, and the conductor cried, "All aboard I" The passeagers scrambled back to their seats again. Polly's father took her into the car with him, and now she looked calmly at the people as tbey gathered around, and answered politely all questions put to her, but refused the rings, chains, bracelets, and watches that the grateful passengers pressed her to accept as tokens of their gratitude for saving their lives. At last Polly gTew tired of so much praise, and spoke out: Keaily I don't deserve your thanks, for I never once thought of any one but papa and mamma. So keep your presents for your own little girl. Thank you all the same. Those that heard her . laughed, seeing they could do nothing better for her than to let her remain unnoticed for the short distance ehe had to go. When Polly was lifted out of tho car, and stood upon the steps of the sta'.ion while her father looked afler the luggage, the passengers threw kisses and wavtd their aandkerchiefs to her until they were out of sight. A few days afterward Poliy was astonished. at receiving a beautiful ivory box containing an exquisitely .enamelled medal, with these words engraved on it: "Presented to Polly Gardner, whose courage and presence of mind saved a hundred lives."

Last Sunday a legislator who was out taking a stroll ia the suburbs of Austin, seeing a number of persons engaged in conviviality la a beer garden, thought he would 't ( refresh himself also. On his going up to the bar, the man behind it, who had never seen him before, looked at him pretty hard, and said: , "Mine fren, you acbooet make avay mid yerself, for I gives you nodding.

A good deal of amusement has been caused in dry goods trade circles during the past few days by the leaking out of a little stoiy at the expense of two young gentlemen who are widely and favorably known in the trade. The' father of these young men is a prominent Market street merchant noted for his large wealth, shrewd business ability and great economy, particularly in the matter of wearing apparelThe sons who are models of elegance and taste in drees, have for a long time borne a particular antipathy to certain venerable coat which has clung to their respec:ed parent for many yearr, and often tried by persuasion to induce him to sell it to the rag-man and buy a new one, but the old gentleman's invariable reply was: "You poys shpend money enough tor clothes for one family. Dis goat is good enough for me." At length, knowing their father's fondness for a bargain, they thought of a ruse by which to induce him to lay off the old garment and get a new one. Taking the coat which the father had worn they went to their tailor and instructed him to take it as a pattern as to size and fit and make tho finest coat he could. ''"We will,'' said one of them, 'get father down here on some pretense or other and then you must sell him that coat. No matter what he oilers, you take it, and we'll pay yqu the balance." In due time the sons received word that the coat was finished price $80. The next morning at breakfast the eldest son causually remarked! "Father, you will be going near the tailor's to-day, and I wish you would

stop and tell him to be sure and send borne my new coat to-day, for I have a party to

attend to-night. "Very veil, my son, I vill do to. but I don't see what you poys vant with so many goats.' The old gentleman delivered his message. and the tailor's opportunity had come. Fin gering the venerable garment, he remarked, persuasively: "You ought to have a new coat. It is a shame for a rich man like you to wear such an old garment as that." , "Tank you very much, but this gcat is good enough for me " I hava got something," persisted the tailor, "that I believe wiL fit you, and it ia the greatest bargainthat you ever heard of. w i . r . i . : . - u . l maae it lor a customer, uuw it was a uii&uh. The price of that coat," said the tailor, producing tho garment, "ia $S0, but it won't fit the man 1 made it for, and I'll let you have it for next to nothing. Try it on." The coat was tried on and proved a per fect fit. "You'll never get such a bargain again if yon live a hundred years," said the tailor. 4 xoa may have that coat for 54U." "I'll gidf you twenty-five," said the old merchant, who knew cloth when he saw it. 'Take it." Carrying hia old coat in a bundle, the purchaser went out arrayed in the $80 coat. At supper that night he appeared in the familiar old oat and in excellent eood humor. To his eons ho said: "I made a nice little ting to-day. Yen I vas at the tailor's I bouebt a goat a nice fine goat. The price vas 80, but I got it for $25. I put it on and bad dot gone a square before I met a friend, lie noticed my new goat ana shpoke about it, and I told him about how I got it so sbeap. lie offered me $00 for the goat and I took it made $5 in fife minute.' "Yes," said the son?, dolefully, in choru. "you've made $5 and we havo lost f 45." Then they explained. "My graciaus! thet is pad. said the oi man, when Le compre hended the situation; but let disbe a lesson to you, my shildren. Never dry to deceive vour lader." KMEKSO.V, The Dome of the Late Concord Philoso pher h. tuet son and Carlvle. Of the quiet heme rf the man who has been so generally denominated as the 'Sage of Concord, a man whose fame M known throughout the civilized world, a brief de scription, says the Boston Herald, is now peculiarly appropriate. It ia a plain, square wooden bouse, set back in an old-fashioned yard, and liberally surrounded with chest nuts and pines. A garden fills half an acre at the back, and has for years been famous tor its roses, and also iu season has a rare collection of hollyhocks, the flowers that Wordsworth loved, and most of the old time annuals and ehrubs. The sunflower, it may be Etated, does not flourish here, From the ro&d a gate, which i3 t-lways open, leads over marble flag-stones to the broad, low step before the hospitable door. A long hall divides the center of the houro, with two large square rooms on each side. A plain, solid table stands at the right of the entry. The first door on the right leads to the study, a plain, square room, lined on one side with wooden shelves filled with choice books. A long mahogany table stands in the middle, covered with books, and by the morocco writing pad lies the pen which has had so great an influence for a quarter of a century on the thoughts of two continents. A large fireplace, with a low grate, occu pies the lower end, over which hangs a fine copy of Michael Angelo'a "Fates," the faces of the strong-minded wmen frowning upon all who would disturb with Idle tongues thi? haunt oi solemn thought. Jn the man tel shelf are busts and statuettes of men prominent in the great reforms of the age, and a quaint rough idol brought from the Mile. A lew choice engravings hang upon the wall, and the pine trees shade the win dows. 1 wo doors, one on each side or the great. fireplace, lead into the largo parlor which fills the southern quarter of the house. This room is hung with curtains of crimson and carpeted with a warm color, A beautiful portrait of one of the daughters of the house is hing in this pleesant and home-like room, whoso home circle, like the sound of the famous shot, seems to reach round the world for almost every person of note who ha3 vi?lted this country had enjoyed its genial hospitality, and listened with attention to the words of wisdom from the kindly master of the house well called the most modest and most gifted writer and deepest thinker of the age. Years ago this chatty little Frederika Bremer paid a long visit here, a bru-k old lady as restless as her tongue and pen. Here Margaret Fuller and other bright figures of The Dial met for conver sation. Thorcau was a daily visiter, and his "Wood Jsotes" mizht have been unut tered but for the kind encouragement he found here. The Alcotts, father and dauehter, were near neighbors, and it was in this room that Mr. Alcott s earliest "Con vereations" were held, now so well known, Here, too, old John Brown was often to b9 met, a plain, poorly-dressed old farmer, seeming out cf place, and absorbed in his own plans until some allusion, or chance remark, would fire his soul and light up his rusrged feature. But it wou!d take many colums cf the Herald to detail tho many guest3 of this and foreisn lands who have ben entertained at the home, around which clusters so much sorrow and anxiety to day. The publication of the life of Thomas Carlyle, continues the Herald, recalls, very singularly, an incident in Emerson's early career, which was of great significance to the subsequent careers of both, and which afford much material for thought as to the points ol similarity and difference which they represented. In the year 1833, when Carjjle was leading a lonely but active life on the isolated Craigenputtock farm, he was urpried by a visit from Emerfon, then only thirty, but a man of mark and promise. Mr. Froude says on this episode: 'The Carlyles were sitting alone at dinner cn a Sunday afternoon at the end of August, when a Dumfries carriage drove up to the door, and there stepped out of it a young American then unknown to lame, but whose influence in his own country ecuals that of Carlyle's in ours, and whose u time stands connected with his wherever the English language is spoken. Emerson, the younger of the two, had just broken his Unitarian fetters, and was - looking out and around Mm like a young eagle longing for light. He had read Carlyle's rticltt, and had discerned, with the instinct of genius, that there was a voice speaking real and fiery convictions, and r.o. longer echoes and conventionalisms. He had come to Europe to study ita social and spiritual phenomena; and to the young Emerson, as to the old Goethe, the most important of them appeared to be Cailyle. He had obtained an introduction to him from John Mill in London, armed with which he had come off to Scotland. Mill had prepared Carlylo for his possible appearance not very favorably, and perhaps recognized in after y ars the fallibility of his judgment. Carlyle made no such mistake. The fact itself of a young American having been so affected by his writisgs as to have sought him out in the Dunscere moors was a homace of the

kind which he could especially value and

appreciate. The acquaintance than begun to their mutual pleasure ripened into a deep friendship which remained unclouded in spite of wide divergencies of opinion throughout their working lives, and continues warm, as ever at the moment when I am writing these words (June 27, 1880), when the labors of both of them are over. and they wait in age and infirmity to be called away from a world to which they havo given freely all that they had to give. Mr. Froude then copies from that rnatchlfss book of travel, Emerson's "English Traits," te account tf Carlyle, his hopes, and thoughts, and opinions, his surrouxdWgs and characteristics, which furnish the best and truest insight into the character and philosophy ot Carljle that has ever been written. Now, after a lapse of nearly half a centurv, the younger, wiser, and more happily-constituted of the 1 wo philosophers, is nearing the personal solution of the dread problem which his senior has already solved. In .hmerson s record of their Craigenputtock talk, occurs one paragraph that seems particularly suggestive of this time viz: ' V e went out to walk over long hills, and looked at Criffel, then without his cap. and down iuto Wordsworth's country. There we sat aown ana taiKea or. tne lnnnoriaiity of the soul. It was not Carlvle's fault that we talked on that topic, for he has the natural disinclination of.every nimble spirit to bruise itself against walls, and did not lke to place himself where no step can be taken But he was honest and true, and cognizant of the subtle links that bind ages together. and saw how every event aCecta all the fu ture. 'Christ died on the tree; that built Dunscoro kirk yonder; that broueht vou and me together. Time has only a relative existence. " "WAN IS TO H1RKY ABTHCB. A Connecticut Crank Who Das Matrimonial Denignaon the President. , "Yes, I've come to Washington to marry the President. ' "And, pray, raadame," 6aid the Washingtoil Post reporter, 'how will marr'in the President save Guiteau from the halter?'' "I shall marry the President," she relat ed, "and we will live together at the White House. I will pray with him. Together we will seek the Lord in si ' plication.

I wanted to call on the President, and announced my intention this evening as soon as I stepped off the cars. but an officer brought me over here and told me to wait, and one of the Lieutenants would take me up and introduce me to-mor row morning." And then Mra. Gaylord showed the reporter her banner. It was made of fools-cap paper. Jne side was C0V ered with gut stars and scriptural quota Hons, the latter being patched out of block letters, cut out aud pasted on the foolscap one by one. The woman who was, it is" painfully evi dent, a religious crank of a mild character, was sitting iu- the Lieutenant's room at police headquarters. She had reached the city about o o clock, and had been taken in charge upon her arrival at the Baltimore and Totomac Depot by fficer Kearney. She was elderly iu. appear ance and very neatly dressed. A dillicnlty of hearing, causing' her to put her hands up to her ear .when aocost ed, was more than compensated by an intel ligent countenance, and a bright restless eye. She was a curious mixture of the sane and insane. Upon commonplace matters she conversed fluently and coherently, but as soon as religion would be mentioned she branched off into the most unintelligible nonsense, claiming that her husband was a near relative of one oi the twelve apo9tles, "because his name is John, as I've often told our people tip where I come from," as she kept repeating. "Does your husband know you have come on to ashington to marry the President? aked the reporter, wondering if it was cus tomary for Connecticut husbands to submit to this sort of crass-widdwerhood without a murmur. "Me and my old man have come to an understanding on this point. We've fussed and lussed together for a good while. He's a liaptist and I'm a Methodist. So when we have protracted meeting in our town ne clings to Paul and I sit down hy Peter. Yes.;' shecontinued, "he knew I was making my banner. He knew it wasn't no use to interfere with me. My name's Gaylord," she suddenly broke in after a moment's silence, "the first part is Gay and the last part is " but before she could finish the reporter softly slipped out of the room; and when he looked in a moment afterward, she was sitting in a chair, her elbows resting on her knee?, her head sunk on her bosom, and her eyes half closed aa if in deep thought, while the gloom seemed to envelop her in a half sort of mystery. Viewed in this latter light she did not look much like a woman who could brighten up the White House to any appreciable degree. It was found upon inquiry at the depot that she bad afforded the passengers considerable amusement by pacing up and down the aisle, and expounding the Scriptures in her own peculiar wav. J ant the Truth of It. I Louisville Courier-Journal. "In a treaty of peace between Chili and Peru," wrote 'Mr. ltlaine to Minister Hurlbut, August 4, 1881, "provision must be made for recoguition by Chili of Landreau's claim as a prior, lien on any territory which Peru may be required to cede Chili." The man who wrote or dictated that dispatch in the State Department declared not long ago that "the allegation that Landreau must be put in the treaty is the slogan of the dirty Democratic press." That "slogan" appears in every Republican paper which has reported Mr. Blaine's otlicial notes. The passion for protecting Landreau appears in every dispatch Mr. Blaine sent to Peru, The denial of his own official words is not likely to re-establish public confidence in Mr. Blaine.
