It is necessary that the growing body should have exercise. Air and sunlight are necessary to growth, and active out-door sports are the means by which their benefits might be obtained. Jjou the summer vacation will give place to the restraints of school. Let boys have all the . out door exercise they can. Ball plaj'.ig. rowing, horseback riding swimming are all prime factors in muscular development, and with care and judgment in their proper use will tend to stronger and healthier crowth. The world needs strong men a well as Vise ones, and indeed the mind will develop more rapidly in a sound body than in a sickly one. It is a grand thing to be able to Hand hardship and privation in the search ior truth and knowledge, and any man with ood physical strength i equal to the task of combating the world it with it he has the stimuli: of a strong w ill. Let boys then trek to build up in their growing days a Found constitution, and life will be more than doubled in value to them. Soma Wonder of the Vegetable World. Golden Days. In botany, certain trees aud plants stand out from the majority, owing to their monstrous size, eccentric shape, and mysterious properties Iii .Sumatra Lave been found the largest ilowers as j et discovered. On one sjecies of the trees in that island grows parasitically a large, carbuncle like bud, which expands into a slower measuring from three to six feet across. Its cup will hold twelve pints of fluid, and its weight is fourteen pounds This Hower was discovered by . Kir Thomas Raffles and Dr. Arnold, aud hence its name, "HailJesia Arnoldi." Its ecceptional size and curious scent, which resembles that of tainted beef, would make it an extraordinary and Unpleasant boutonniere. Jn Western Sumatra crows a still larger Uower, Amorphallus Titanum. This plant lias two stages of existence first as a flower, next as a tree. The flower grows to about three feet in height, and measures about the same across. Its appearance is grand; but the smell, like that of the former flower, U oflentive, an odor being emitted from the cone like decaying tib. Within the cone are the seeds of the plant, growing out of the jbtem. When the flower dies it falls away, and then the stem shoot3 rapidly into the air. Increasing in circumference as it does so, it grows to the height of eight feet On the top are clusters of seeds, some 400 in number. Each seed is as large as a date.and of a bright Lolly b-?rry red. Another large flower is .the well known Victoria Regia, one of the grandest and most beautiful of aquatic plants It was discovered by Sir Hubert II. Schombuauh in 1337. in a river at lierbice, South America The leaves of the specimen here met with measured from live to six feet .in diameter, the flnwpr fifteen inches across.' We now come to a aeries of plants that Feern destined by I'rovidence to keep down the ruultitules of flies that warm in the iropics. The Pitcher plant and the Side-saddle are the most noticeable. They both contain in their flowers a felf-distilled fluid, which attracts numerous insects, which, allured by the moisture, fall in and are ilrownecf. Venus' Fly-trap (Dioncca Muscipula) catches insets in another way. As soon as a fly has alighted within the two fleshy lobes armed with fpine., they close together, kill ing the erature within, and then open for a iresh victim. The Carrie-n flower is also nseful in diminishing the number ot insect plagues. This curious flower is a native of South Africa, it gives out an odor that resembles decaying "Viimal matter, and beguiles female flies to lay their eggs upon iL The larva; when batched nd out their mamma's mistake to their cost, and perish in large numbers. The Lattice-leaf plant, so called from Its resemblance to lattice blinds, is a native of Madagascar. It Is one of the most extraordinary planU in existence, because the

leaves have the ribs and veinings only, and appear but as the skeletons. The tissue usually found in the interstices is quite absent. It is an aquatic plant, and looks exceedingly delicate and graceful as it floats on the surface of the water. The Sensitive plant (Minosa Fudica) possesses the curious property of shrinking, and the leaves fold up at the slightest touch. Even the breath strongly directed on to it has the same effect. At nfchl the leaflets cjose together, as also do the partial leaves, and the common footstalk bends toward the chief stem, remaining thus until dawn recalls them all to their former position. Of the curiosities of the vegetable w orld the Cactus tribe are among the most striking. We give two sketches illustrating the wide divergence of various varieties. The first, called by the Spanish Visnaga, a toothpick, the frpines of which are arranged in clusters on the ribs of the plant, being utilized for that purtose. They are also used as pins to fasten the poncho, or cloak. The other specimen is one of many that grows to a considerable height. Of the Fundus tribe we illustrate one variety, the "pull" ball " It throws out its seed in a fine powder, and this the wind carries and distributes for miles, impregnating the earth with myriads of similar fungi. Of large trees, one of tle most useful is tha Bamboo. It grows in the Eat Indies, China, Japan, and other warm climates. Some specic3 grow with great rapidity. Ten feet in a fortnight has been noticed to be reached by one plant. Some bamboos reach the height of one hundred feet. Old stalks grow to five and six inches in diameter, and are used for waterliles, bottles, circular boxes, poles for scaffoldingand building purposes, walking sticks and musical instruments. The wood is split and woven into cloths for sails, mats and cordage, and the pith produces bread, s arch and paj er. The bamboo is thus almost invaluable to the natives cf the tropics. The llottle tree is a na'.ive of Australia. It has the curious peculiarity of the trunk swelling, from a short distance from the ground, until it assumes a globular shape. The Iragon's IJlood is considered to bo one of the longest-lived of trees It is a native of the island of Tenerifle. The finest specimen known is the giant tree of Oratava, and is said to have been seen in the year 1 ICO when it was as large as it is now. This tree is named from its product the astringent resin known as dragon's blood, a substance formerly used in medicine, but now chiefly known as a red varnish. The Ka-t Indias are remarkable for strange growths in trees. We could li II pages with extraordinary varieties. The Uanyan tree throw s out branches which, le ending in line to the ground, take root, and in turn become auxiliary stems. Thus, in course of time, one tree will cover an enormous sraL'e. A specimen growing on the banks of tha Xerbudda, although it has suli'ered badly from Hoods, w hich have washed large portions away, still measures two the usand feet in circumference, it 1 as three hundred and twenty main trunks, while the smaller steins exceed three thoti.-aixl in number. It is reputed on good authority to have on one occasion sheltered seven thousand persons. The Hoys." Chattel box, l'ovs -ljould never go through lifo satisfied to be always borrowing other people's brains. There are some tilings they should lind out for themselves. There is always something waiting to be found out. Every boy should think some thought that snail live after him. A farmer's boy should discover for himself what timler will bear tho most weight, which is the most elastic, what will last longest in the water, what out of water, what is the best time to cut down trees for l'.rew ood. How many kinds of oak crow in your region, and what is each socially good lor? Ilow does a bird fly without moving a w ing or a feather? How does a snake climb a tree or a brick wall ?

In building a chimney, which should be the largest, the throat or the funnel? Should it ba wider at the top, or drawn in? The boys see white horses. Did they ever see a white colt? Do they know how old the twig must be to bear loaches, and how old the vine is when grapes lirst hang upon it? There is a bird in the forest which never build a nest, but Jays its eggs in tLe nests of other birds. Can the boys tell what that bird is? Do they know that a hop vine always winds with the sun, but a bean vine always winds the other way? Do they know that when a horse crops grasi he tats back toward him; but a cow outward from her, because she has no teeth upon her upper jaw, and has to gum it?

"Rut the Morgue won't be closed probably before the last of October." "The Morgue?" echoed the reporter, with an anxiou glance at the speaker. l es, the Morgue that .s the Mine we give the storehouse across the way from the baggage-room. Its used during the bun' season for the storage of baggage that we can't keep in the bacgage-room. How did it get that name? I don't know, but it bad it a long time a?o. At the time of tae ypuyteii Duyvil disaster the dead bodios of passengers were temporarily laid out there, and that event sort of rechristened the store house. We generally deliver on the saute dav less than half of the baggage that comes in; the rest stays here in the depot or go?s over to the Monrue for a dav or two Yerv few pieces remain over three days in store. I guess that about three-quarters of the bag gage of the railroads is delivered on orders collected on the trains bv the agents of the Railroad Rxnress Companies The rest is taken away by the various outside and pri vate expresses. As a rule it s only greenhorns who don't arrange on the cars for the delivery of their trunks. THE KISlEsT TIME. "Our busiest time is in summer," contin ued the baggage man, as he deftly whirled an iron bound Saratoga trunk from on pile of trunks to another. "When J une ojx-ns the outgoing baggage begins to exceed in amount the incoming, and toward the close of August incoming begins to run ahead of the outgo ing, liiere s a big uuiereuce between the stun the roads handle in summer and winter. In summer trains will takeout or bring in 2.M) to 3w pieces each, where the same train in winter will not have eighty to ninety pieces each. Just after the Christrras holi days I have known a train many a tiirto to bring in only twenty-five or thirty pieces. The men hired tohandle the stun are double the number in summer that are employed in winter. We have eight wagons belonging to our express at work at the depot in w inter, but in summer thirty wagons are kept busy most of the time. It's so wikh all the roads. THE WEIGHT OF TRUNKS. "Yes," continued the reporter's infor nant, "I tltjnk the summer are heavier than the winter trunks. That's because pcaplen ick as much as they can into their baggage when they leave town for their vacation. 'Ihen in coming back lots of folks bring potatoes, cabbages, apples and all sorts of 'garden sass in their trunks from the country. Ten years ago trunks were smaller, and their weight ran at about 100 pounds each on the average. To day we have a few trunks that weigh ninety iounds. but most of them are up to 130 pounds each. The drummers' trunks are daisies, though. Many of them weigh from 300 to 400 pounds apiece, but few of them go as high as the latter figure. Yes. the roads carry lots of trunks that contain samples of jewelry, the owners giving a release to the Companies of liability beyond the regular limit. Trunks are awfully deceptive as retards their weight they're like a woman loaded down with concealed srnu -clod goods. Why, I remember one little black trunk that didn't lo jk as if it weighed more than ninety pounds, which tipped tue scales at 300 pounds. That was a plagued drummer's trunk." "Do baKffage-handler3 often get hart in their work?" "Well. I should smile. No, sir. Tho hurts are reserved for the trunks. Now and then a fellow gets a scratch or two if the trunk slips in his hands, aud sometimes a trunk will come down on a fellow's foot. Rut no man is laid off a day once in a hnndred years.

A young farmer who was very unlucky sat on his plow a moment to rest, and just then an old woman crept past and cried: "Why do you go on drudging day and nigjit without reward? Walk two days till you come to a great fir-tree that stands" all alone in the forest and overtops all other trees. If you can hew it down, you can make your fortune." Not waiting to have the advice repeated, the farmer shouldered his axe and started on his journey. t?ure enough, after tramping two d:iys he came to the fir tree, which he instantly prepared to cut down. Just as the tree swayed, and before it fell with a crash, there dropped out of its branches a nest containing two og's The eggs rolled to the ground and broke, and there darted out of one a young cai;le and out of the other rolled a gold ring The eagle grew larger as if by enchantment, and when it reached the size of a man, it spread its wings as if to try its strength, then soaring upward, it cried: "You have refcued me; take as your reward the ring that laid in tiie other egg; it is twice a wish-ring. Turn it on your linger twice, and whatever your wish is, it shall be fulfilled. Hut remember there is but a single wifeh in the ring. No sooner is that granted than it loses its power and is only an ordinary ring Therefore, consider well what jou ilcsiie, so that you may never have reamii to repent your choice." iso sp?aking, the eagle stared high in the air, circled over the farmer's head a few times, then darted, like an arrow, toward the cast The fanner tok the ring, placed it on Ins finger, and turned on his way homeward. Towaid evening he reached a town where a jeweler sat in his shop behind a counter, on which lay many costly rings for sale. The farmer showed his own, and asticd the mer- ( In nt its value. "it isn't worth n straw," the jeweler an-fcw-rtd. I'jon that the farmer laughed very heartily, and told the man that it was a wish-ring, :nid of greater value than all the rings in the .hp together. The jeweler was a wicked, designing man, nud so be invited the tanner t remain as his gi:est over night. "For," he explained,' "only to shelter a man who owns a wish-ring must bring luck " fc'o he treated his guest to wine and fair words, and that night, as the farmer lay sound asleep, the wicked man stole the magic ring from his linger and slipped on in its place a common one which he had made to resemble the wish ring. The next morning tho jeweler was all impatience to have the farmer begone. He awakened him at cock-crow and said: "You had better go, for you have still a long journey before you." Äs ßoon as the farmer had departed, the jeweler closed his shop, put up the shatters, so that no one could peep in, oolted the door behind him, and, standing in the middle of the room, he turned the ring and cried: "I wish instantly to possess a million gold piect s." No booner said than the great shining gold pieces came jouring down upon him in a golden torrent over his head, shoulders and arms. Pitifully he cried for rnercy, and tried to reach and unbar the door; but before he succeeded he stumbled and fell bleeding to the ground. As for the golden rain, it never stopped till the weight of the, metal crushed the lloor, and the jeweler and his money sank through to the cellar. The gold still poured down until the million was complete, and the jeweler lay dead in the cellar beneath his treasure. The noise, however, alarmed the neighbors, who came rushing over to ree what the matter was; when they saw the man dead under his cold, they exclaimed: "Doubly unfortunate he whom blessings kill " Afterward, the heirs come and divided the property. In the meantime, the farmer reached home in high spirits ana showed the ring to his wife. "Henceforth we shall never more be in want, dear wife." he said "Our fortune is made. Only we must be very careful to consider well jüst what we ought to wish." The 'farmer's wife, of course, proffered anvice, "Supi08e," said she. "that we wish for that bit of land that lies between our two fields?" "That isn't worth while," her husband replied. "If we work hard for a year, we'll tarn enough money to buy it." iSo the two worked very hard, and at harvest time they had never raised such a crop before. They had earned money enough to buy the coveted strip of land and still have a bit to spare. "See," said the man, "we have the land and the wish as well.' The farmer's wife then suggested that they had better wish for a cow and a horse But the man replied: "Wife, why waste our wish on such trilles? The horse and COW we'll get anyway." Sure enough, in a year's time the money for the horso and cow, had been earned. JovMly the man ruboed his hands "The . . .1 ,1 ..4 wish is saved again inis year, aim je we have what we desire. How lucky we are!-' Hut now his wife seriously adjured him to wish for something at last, "Now that you have a wish to be granted." she said, "you slave and toil, and are content with everything. You might be King, Emperor, Paron, even a gentleman farmer, with chests overflowing with gold; but you don't know what you want." "We are young and life is long," he answered. "There is onlv one wish in the ring, and that is easily said. Who knows but sometime we mav sorely need this wish? Are we In want of anything? Have we not prospered, to all people's astonishment, since we possessed this ring? lie reasonable and patient for awhile. In the meantime, consider what we really out to wish for." And that was tho end of the matter. It really seemed as if the ring had brought a blessing into the house. Granaries and barns were full to overflowing, and in the course of a few years tho poor farmer became a rich and portly person, who worked with bis men afield during the day, as if he, too, had to earn his dailv bread; but after supper he liked to sit In his porch, contented and comfortable, and return the kindly greeting of the folk who passed and who wished him a n-sjK'Ctful good evening. So the years went by. Sometimes, wlien

they were alone, the farmer's wife would remind her husband of the magic ring, aud suggest many plans. Hut as he always answercd that they had plentv of time, and 'that the best thoughts come last, she mora and more rarely mentioned the ring, and at last the good woman ceaied speaking of it altogether. To be sure, the farmer looked at the ring, and twirled it about as many as twenty titr.es a day; but he was very careful neyer to wish. . After thirty or forty years had passed away, and the farmeraiid his wife had grown old and white-haired, and their wish was still unwished, then God was very good to them, and on the same night they "died peacefully and happily. Weeping children and grandchildren surrounded the two collins; and as one wished to remove the ring from the still hand as a remembrance, the oldest son said: "Let our father lake his ring into the grave. There was always a mystery about it; perhaps it was some dear remembrance. Our mother, too, so often looked at the ring she may have given it to him when they were young"" So the old farmer was buried with the ring, which had been Bupposed to be a wish-ring, and was not; yet it brought as much good fortune into the house as heart could desire.

Ingram, of Winauiac, Pulaski County, Indiana, writes: "My wife is using Brown's Iron Bitters with marked good effect," The Heavenly Beauty "Ma'am, can I go In there?" said a poor little deformed girl to a genteelly dressed lady, as she was about entering a certain fasliionabie church in the city, pulling her gently by the dress, at the same time, and looking up most pleadingly into her face. The lady hesitated. .Such a "fright was she to look upon her back was so crooked, her face so sallow, her clothes so poor! But there was such an eager woebegone look in her sunken eyes that the lady could not repel her, and so she said: "Yes, my dear, you may; come and go right along with me. And'she took the oor forlorn-looking child by the hand and led her into the church and into her own pew. Ah! but what a look of delight now came over that wondering child's face, as she gazed around that grand old church, and took in one object of interest after another. This was evidently a new experience for her, and she was drinking in influences whose impress would never fade away. The lady who had introduced this poor thing to this new scene at onco conceived a strange interest in her, and felt far mure than repaid for the slight sacrifice she had made. Hut the music seemed to be the chief charru to this little unfortunate. She sat and listened as if hardly knowing whether .she was in the body or out of the bod'. Nay, you would have hardly known that face now, so rapt, for the same that, a few moments ago, looked up so pleadingly and piteously into this kind lady's face. For the second hymn the choir sang one beginning: "And must this body file?" to a wondrously sweet tone. Presently the lady felt a vigerous pull at her dress, and heard the little creature at her side, in an eager whisper, exclaim: "O, ma'am, do you hear thatr the big tears meanwhile rolling down her cheeks. They were singing, "Arrayed in glorious crae bhall tnese vi'e bodies hia And every shape, and every fice. Be heavenly anl divine." In amazement the lady looked down upon the poor little deformed girl leside her. Could it be that she really understood thoso words. and was as deeply touched by the thought thev contained as by the heavenly melody with which they were expressed As soon, therefore, as the services were concluded, the ladv turned to the child and asked: "Did you like t lie hymn very much, dear?" "O. yes," she said quietlv, "very much indeed " "Will you tell me why?" continued the ladv, as kindly and as sympathetically as possible. (, ' said she, turning and pointing to a lovely woman who had been sitting near them. "You sec, ma'am, I am going to look as beautiful as she up there " "In Heaven do you mean ; ' "Yes, ma'am." "And are you hoping to go there?" Fixing her large eyes full on on her in quirer with a voice thrilling with emotion she replied, "And ctmn t the ord Jesus, ma'am, die for just such crooked ones as me?" In a little more than a year from that time that same little deformed thing had . 1 1 fallen asleep. o cany naa sue exenangeu her crooked shape and wan little face for one "all Jheavenly and divine." In the meantime what word can well measure the cjmfort, to that poor, crushed, sensitive spirit, of the hope of thus one day rising to where "Arrayed In gHrious grace Shtli taese vile bodies shine, And every saapn aud every face, Be heavenly aad divine." Rev. R. H. Howard.

How It wa Visited by the Iramatic Creator of tlie'Clmracter Jefferson'i Intention. Joseph Jefferson has within a few days visited, for the first time in his life, the gorge in which Irving located the tale of "Hip Yan Winkle." It reaches up from the plain very picturesquely between two of the Catskill Mountains. A creek creeps and trickles down between boulders and over pebbles; the slopes are wooded and the precipices mossed; the meager description which Irving made of the scene of his legend strikes the visitor as wretchedly inadequate. There is an inn here in Sleepy Hollow, and the owner was foolish enough not to build it in an old-fashioned style, or stick moss on it, or even hang a weather-beaten sign from it. What he did was to erect a stiff, white house and let it look brand new. It wasn't his conscience that prevented him from counterfeiting a colonial tavern and swearing that it was an antique. He has got the idea that people generally believe the ttory of Hip Van Winkle, and he points out the spots where the lovable sot encountered the keg-laden dwarf, where he saw the old fellows play ten-pins and where he lay during his long sleep He has seen Jefferson act Kip, but he did not recognize the actor in the close-shaven, venerable old man who came with others to look at the place, lie mistook him for a minister, as anybody might easily do, and was agreeably surprised to see him drink a glass of beer. The gorge did not seem to greatly interest the man who has made fame and fortune out of its legend. He has gnwn tired of the 'Tdp Yan Winkle" play and rather resentful toward it, because he thinks that his success in it has obscured his versatility. "I am going to New York to open a new Theater with the old drama," he said, "and I heartily wish that I may never afterward have to appear in it I shall undertake to play the rost oi the season altogether in other pieces." . . I asked him if playing one character almost exclusively and continuously for many years did not blunt his conceptions concerning it. so that he found it somewhat diöicult to know whether he was acting properly or not. "That's hardly true," he replied, "and yet the performance of the part long ago ceased to be anything but the most perfunctory task almost mechanical. Still. I am told that there is no perceptible difference letween the cbaracter as I present it now and as I did twenty years ago." Very wealthy, indeed, is Jefferson. He has a fine rural home over at Hohogus, N J., One of his sons. Tom, is an actor iu his company, and another is his business manager. Neither he nor his famils lias much to do socially with stago people, though Tom married Mis

panl, an actress. He is a believer in Spiritualism, and it is said that he sees or thinks he does he spirits of Hendisck Hudson's men prominently present during his scene with the ancients in the mountains. He will not talk on the subject for publication, lest he should be accused of Uaing his religious views for advertising purposes. Dougla's Estimate of James lSnchanan. Omaha Herald. The appearance of George Ticknor Curtis' s "Life"' of Mr. Buchanan, who was de ide 1 and abused so much at the outbreak of the Civil War as an imbecile, and "old public functionary," and a traitor to his country, w ill do much to correct the injustice that was ' done a man in that crisis whose public services always reflected honor uwn his country. After the lapse of tweutv years and the passing away of the passions arising in the Civil War. justice can and will be done to a pure, able, and patriotic man, to whom the country owes a debt of gratitude rather than the return of wrong and injustice. But it is not to recount Mr. Buchanan's public career, which covered a long and important period in the history and progress of the United States, that we .mention him now. We wish to recall an incident which shall give an anwer from Stephen A. Douglas to the popular notion that Mr. Buchanan was a weaa. man. The time was say 1S")3. The place was in the home of Mr. Douglas in the city of Washington. The celebrated discussion between Mr. Douglas, in Harper's Magazine, and Judge Black, in the Washington Union, on tho Lecompton measures was at its height. Mr. Douglas had made his anti-Lecompton speech in tue Senate after John C. BrackinIridgeandMr. Toombs, adherents of Mr. Buchanan in the great controversy, Alexander II. Stephens, a friend of Douglass, and one other whose name we fail to recall at the moment of writing had met with their legs under the Douglas mahogany, and had faded to heal the breach which divided the Democratic party and which led to the election of Mr. Lincoln and the bloody war which followed. William A. Richardson, John G. Davis, of Indiana, and, as the writer remembers. Senator Logan (he will not be sure about this after a lapse of twenty-live yearf ), called upon Mr. Douplass. It was Sunday. The editor or the Herald, by the kindness of Richardson, accompanied these gentlemen. Much of the day was sieut with the "Little Giant," who, robbed in bis dressing gown, which reached to his slippers, is remembered as a comical looking ligure, all brains and body and no legs that were discernible in that s; rictly private uniform. This discussion was on the rulling topic of the hour Mr. Douglass was conversationally eloquent, but anxious. The trio named was bis trusted body guard, so to say, on the lloor of tbe llonseof representatives, gallant soldiers in the tight, not one of theui really dreaming of the early issue of the controversy in the gigantic War of the Rebellion whicu was a direct result of it. Much was said against the President during the long talk when Governor Richardson, becoming particularly indignant, denounced Mr. Buchanan as a weak man, an imbecile, as he was standing in the center ot the parlor and shaking with characteristic vche mence of manner wlien the lion in hini was aroused. At this moment Mr. Douglas was reclining on a sofa. He sprang up, walked rapidly to where Governor Richardson was standing, and reaching up and placing his hand on Richardson's shoulder in his familiar way, he said: "Hold on Dick. Mr. Buchanan is not a weak man. He is one of the ablest men in this country." There was a pause from that moment on that line of discussion of the then President of the United States. And it was then that we got the estimate which Mr. Douglas placed upen the abilities of James Buchauau.
