Pure cs a spirit from the fields of heaven.

The perfect poising of the gold-crowned head,
The fe-1 most fitted but on llowers to tread
Tlic graceful drajiing of her snowy gown.

I'' x nun her not of earth, but heaven instead.

A MEDLEY.
Things 'Wise, Th Intra Sentimental, anil
Some Thing Foolish.
1 he Minnesota legislature recently at
tempted to put a stop to the habit in
dulged in by cranky men and hysterical
women of presenting flowers to crimin
als. The Minnesota legislature evident
ly did not understand that fools cannot
be legislated, out of existence. As be
tween men and women in the line of
making fools of themselves, or rather of
conveying to the world full knowledge of
the fools nature made of them, honors
are tolerably easy, with the long end of
the string Eomewhat in favor of the
male fool. Just what bond of sympathy
there is between a criminal and the
hysterically-sentimental woman is a
profound mystery, which will probably
never be solved ; but it exists just the
same. The peculiarity of the thing is
that in order to awaken the fullest sym
pathy in the breast of the woman crank,
it is necessary that the crime be against
one of iier own sex. Let Durrani, or
someone of that type, drag down to
death some young and innocent irirl.
and the flood gate3 of feminine sympa
thy are opened and the sluice ways run
full of sympathetic tears for the "poor
dear man" who has an ignominious
death on the scaffold staring him (though
at a pretty safe distance) in the face, for
simply outraging and murdering one de
fenseless girl. Flowers, watered with
tears, are in profusion for him.
It makes sensible people sick at heart
and ashamed of their race to contem
plate it. It does not require any law to
stop it; it requires only a little firmness
on the part of sheriffs and jailors, who
should have the courage to deny admis
sion to the presence of any criminal any
persons except his attorneys, his rela
tives, his minister and the jail doctor.
Mr. Bonn yesterday presented this
office with a small limb of a tame crab
apple tree that was a inaes of bloom.
The flowers are pure white of extraqrdi
nary size, and the little limb iH one of
the prettiest things imaginable. Some
how we never see flowers but wo fee!
like petting them, caressing them with
gentle touch aj though they were Inno
cent little children. There is an old
legend in connection with the crabapple
that when the trees were planted in tho
garden of Eden, like man they were
made mature, and were laden, not with
flowers, hut fruit. The crabapple, per
haps justly, complained that while all
the other trees had been given fruit de
lightful to the eye of man, its fruit was
so small and so acrid that Adam and
Eve turned from It in contempt; but in
the midst of Us complainings, the spirit
that dwelt in the tree ehided it for its
mgatitude and told it to wait; andlo!
when spring came the crabapple put
forth its snowy buds that opened their
petals, the most beautiful and the most
fragrant of all the flowers of the garden.
We fancy, somehow, that it is much so'
with our lives, and for many of those
things wnich we complain of there is
compensation, if we had but the patience

When Lycurgus had framed what ho
considered to be a perfect code of laws
for the Greeks, he expressed his inten
tion of making a visit to a far country,
and procured a pledge from his people
that they wouki obey his laws until he
returned. Bidding them an affectionate
farewell, he took his faithful slave with
him, and, first providing that hia bodj
should be burned anil tho ashes thrown
into tho yEgean sea, ho committed sui
cide. His intention was, of course, to
have hia people obey his laws forever,
since he could not comeback. It is
stated that for many years tho people
were true to their promises, and every
thing was dune as Lycurgus had pro
vided. Ono of tho most important of
these laws was forbidding any person
getting his hair cut Saturday afternoons
or Sundays in a public barber shop,
with an especial clause concerning
mothers taking their boys to tho shops
on these days. But in couiso of time
this law began to bo violated. Then
men began to got morose and out of hu
mor when they 'vaited three hours by
the clepsydra to get their chins scraped.
From this violation of the sacred stat
utes, others soon found foothold, and in
a few yearn the laws of Lycurgus were a
back number. Citizens took delight in
getting their hair trimmed Sunday
morning, and every Grecian matron
glorified in having her bov's capillary
covering curtailed Saturday aftcrnooiiB.
Greece fell flat on tho stock boards, and
blue ruin and purple profanity reigned
supremo. Business became stagnant
and business men sat up all night on tho
night of Uieg Martiug,ao as to bo on hand
bright and early on tho morning of Uicx
Haturnis. Everybody became wild on
tho subject, and neglected their business
to get in first. Soon tho shop doors
wore closed, and grass grow on tho
streets of Athene.
