Among the conifers will be noted young planus of that Japanese species which may he seen under the wing of the Japanese building,- quaint pigmies of trees, not three feet high, yet ovei .seventy years old. They are gnarled and twisted as if they had fought Un winds and caught their picturesquc ness of form as old oaks cateh theirs hy battling with tcmpestHand wintry .storms upon the hills. And yet tlie.se dwarfed tiecs are thoroughly creatures of art. ly examining closely the specimens in the Japanese ground, you will see tracer of the dwaifmg process. The leacling shoots have heen dipped. or bent downward ;the lateral blanches turned in and tied hack; lusty limbs twisted and wienched into quaint pos tures; marks of the torturing-piiis, and amis and cuts are still observable; it i is a crippled dwarf of a tree, made quaint and picturesque by its years ol Struggle against the toils of the gar dener. 7s there a compensating beauty in them? Not, suiely, as we reckon the beaut' of plaut-giowlli. Hut consider that the Japanese, in their horticul tural system, have ollices for such dwarfed mouarchsof tiec.s to fill. With them, no homestead is complete with out its garden; a few squaic rods may be all at command ; but this aiea must have its garden treatment ; and the gar dens are modeled alter uatuie. "tiun sur (mountain ami water) is the term which in Japanese describes the gar deners' woik. The aim is within however limited an aiea to present a complete landscape, with lock, valley, plain, water, and mom. tain. I'ndcr such miuiatuie presentment, trees and plants must be dual fed to bear proper relations to the dualled valleys and rocks. To such an extent is this copy ing of natuic in little carried by enthu siastic gardeneis that a rocky land scape, with its heights and leel spaces and trees, is wrought out. with nice at tention to piopoitions, within the lim its of a great broiie basin. We doubt if gardeneis of the West will emulate them in their mimicry of nature; but they may well emulate the pains-taking skill which makes such small succe-ses possible, and theassidiiouscare.and the dose study of plant-lite, which aie en forced by such arts.

Naies. compiling the steamt is Alert and Discovery, has returned. Progress to the north pole was found impossible The Alert and Discovery lei t Port Faulke on .Iu!ygi. lST-'i.and entered the ice olf Cape Sable. After asecre ami continuous struggle they reached the noith side of i.ndy Franklin Hay. where the Discovery was left in winter quarters. The Alert pushed on and reached the limit of nav igation on the shore of the Polar sea with ire varied m thickness, being in some places IaOteet deep. Theso-eilled President's Land does not exist. The Alert wintered in latitude s:: degrees and -21 minutes. At this point the sun was invisible U'2 days. The expedition reached the lowest temperature ever recorded 10 1 degrees below the freezing point. Sledge parties were sent out in various directions, but found no game They suffered from scurvy, and some died from cold. No Hsquimaux were seen, nor were icebergs met w ith beyond Cape Union. (J real dilliculties were encountered as the expedition returned. The Alert parted from the Discovery in a gale, Oct. 1'Jth. Many valuable collections were made for natural his tory and science. All the 'members of the expedition declare it impossible to get nearer the north pole than their party did, which penetrated within -too miles of it. On their return from their sledge journeys the men were in a help less condition, and it was necessary to draw some of them on sledges. The planking of the Alert was much dam aged by ice.

"Here, look at the statistics of your case ; you will find that one per cent, of those attacked with your malady are cured." "Well," says the sick man, in an unsatisfied manner. "Well, you are the lnindreth with this disease that 1 have had under my care, and the first ninety-nine are all dead." Two physicians of Cincinnati propose to discuss publicly the merits and de merits of vapor baths. One of them who has used the baths and recom mended them to others for fifty years may be supposed to have something more than scientific interest in the subject, while in his own person and his eighty years he presents a strong argument in their favor.

Young People" (ale of Theiuele. Now jierhaps you will say, this is a dismal and unnecessary sermon to leach to young people; they hae their fathers and mothers to take can of them; they d in'l take caie of them selves. Very true; but tatheis and mothers cannot be always with then children ; fatheis and mothers cannot always make their children lemember and obey their directions; more than all. it is very haid to make cluldien realize that it is of any gieat impor tance that they should kccpali the laws ot health. I know when I wj-s a little gill, when people said to me, "You must not do thus and thus, toi if you ilo, you will take cold." I used to think, "Who cans tor a little cold, supposing I do catch one?" And when I was shut up m the house tor seeial days w h a bad sole thioat. and sulfeied boil ible pain, i never reproached my self. I thought that sore throats must come now and then, whether or no, and that I must take my turns. Hut now I have learned that if no law of health were ever bioken, we need never have a day's illness, might grow old in entire f -.!,! f -.! miTi.ru!. apt) "riduallv fall asleep at last, instirr.i of dying ter rible deaths from disease; and I am all the while wishing that I had known it when I was young. If I had known it. I'll tell you what I should have done L would have just tried the experiment at any rate, of never doing a single thing which could by any possibility get any one of the instruments of my body out of order. I wish I could set some boy or girl try it yet : never to sit up late at night; never to have a close, bad air in the room -.never to sit with wet feet; never to wet them, if it were possible to help it; never to go out in cold weather without being propeily wrapped up; never to go out of a hot room into a cold out-door air without throwing some extra wrap on; never to eat or drink an unwholesome thing; neer to touch tea, or coffee, or candy, or pie-crust; never to let a day pass without at least two good hours of ex ercise in the open air: never to read a wold by twilight, nor in the cars; never to let the sun be shut out of rooms. This is a pretty long list of "nevers," but "never" is the only word that con quers. "Once in a while" is the very watch-woid of tempation and del eat. I do believe that the "once-in-a-while" things have ruined more bodies, and more souls too, than all the otherthings put together. Moreover, the '-never" way is easy, and the "once-in-a-while" way is hard. After you have once made up your mind "never" to do a cer tain thing, that is the end of it, if you are a sensible person. Hut if you only say, "This is a bad habit." or, "This is a dangerous indulgence; 1 will be a little on my guard and not do it too often," you have put yourself in the most un comfortable of all positions: the tempta tion will knock at your door twenty times a day, and you will have to be fighting the same old battle over and over again as long :is you live. This is especially true in regard to the matter of which I have been speaking to you. i the care of the IkkIv. "When you have once laid down to yourself the laws you mean to keep, the things you will al ways do, and the tnTngs you will "never" do. then your life arranges itself into a system at once, and you are not inter rupted and hindered as the undecided people are. by wondering what is best, or safe, or wholesome, or too unwhole some at different times. From "A Para ble," by II. II., St.Xichola for 'ovem her. Komantic writers love to put appro priate "last words" into the mouths of dying men. The California stage driver, who was "on the down-grade and couldn't reach the brakes" is a fair example, but here is one from New j Orleans that surpasses it. The d ing ; ioreman of a comicsing-room rallies for a moment and remarks, "Lock up t he forms. Sam. and let's go to press." In the Milan Hospital, where 2,40" betis are placed in long, narrow, but lofty galleries, the rate of mortality is extremely low. APromiiien A Hiern an 'pint .Medium I on Trial in London.

LankeMt i, explain il that he had simulated grief at passages utti tly ridiculous in themsehes. which slade thereiiioneageily followed up. As. for example when the name of "John" was written on the slate Mi. Lankesler ex claimed. "Win-, that must be my Fncle John!" a hint instantly taken advantage of by Slade by contii m.ttory messages from the defunct I'ncle.lohn: the fact being that Professor Lankester has m dead uncle and his name isn't .John. A message was also icceived from a lady oueu-a written or"' "-","i'. said lady not being dead at all at pics- ent, so far as she knows. The excitu.g scene ot Lankester's snatching away the slate from Slade jls he was about to put it under the table, claiming it to be then tree fi.im wilting, and his discov ering wilting alieady ujKHiit: his call ing out to slade, "You have already wiitten upon the slate; I have watched you doing it each time; you are a scoun drel and an iuijMstor." was detailed by the witness with a dramatic vigor worthy of a first-class actor. During this recital slade'sbo.m nse and fell with agitation, and he glanced around the crowd to see what effect the story was making among the auditors. That he had many sy mpathiers was evident, for when the conn was about to adjourn the ease, and it became a question of who should go bail for the two Americans, Slade and siinnions. various persons of condition proffered the service; two well-appearing gentle men became their sureties for i'-ioeach. the defendants entering into recogni zances to the amount of i"!'" pounds each, the magistrate mentioning that as they were foreigners, it would be hard tort quire heavy bail for them. The Lesson of Wagner's Triumph. We begin this article to call attention more particularly to the moral lesson, or the lesson of life, conveyed by this great triumph. The jwer that rules the world is the power of ideis. Any man with genius enough to conceive a vital and germinal idea, and vitality enough to push it, is a master, sure of his triumph. lie has that within him which gives a crowning significance to his lite. To (ossess a great idea is to have a mission, it is to know what to do. It is to have a path and a goal. It is to have a perennial fountain of in spiration. It is to see always before one. not with the eye of faith but with open vision, a consummate triumph. The man who said he would rather be right than President, chose simply to be more powerful than President, offices, positions names these are but shows. The men who have ideas are the mas ters of them all. and masters of their kind. The o1itieian sneers at the idealist as long as he can. and then he turns and worships hirn. The conven tionalist in art scoffs the innovator un til the innovator's idea is emlodied in some overwhelming form, and then he throws up his hat for him with the shouting multitude. Il.essed are the men who have ideas. They are the mover of the world. Dr. J. G. Hol land; Scrihner for NV.veml-er.
