A Wedding Ring Motto.
The word Mizpah is of Hebrew origin, and,
literally translated, means beacon, or watch
tower. From this it has come to mean tbo
memorial or reminder of a covenant. Tl»«
earliest mention we have of this word in tho
Bible is when Isalmn, pursuing tho fleeing
Jabob, finds and becomes reconciled to him,
and the heap of stones piled up by them both
on Mount Gilead served a double purpose—
Is witness to the covenant between these two
and os landmark of the boundary between
them. Laban called the place Mizpah; for,
said he, tho Lord watch Ijciween thee aud me
when we are absent from one another. The
word Mizpah is frequently, in the significa
tion thus expressed by Laban, engraved in
engagement or wedding rings, both as a
token of the covenant and as a prayer that
the watch angels of God will hover over the
beloved.

The contributors to Tho Lantern wero all

charming bits of verso, aid an able literary
and dramatic critic, who enlisted hi tin

and was killed whilo serving os aide-de-camp

Ht. Paul's Indian Scare.
"It is difficult to realize," said a lady who
has resided in rtt. Paul from the early days,
"that wo had such a scare about tho Indians
in this city twenty-six years ago, during tho
Indian troubles. There was a good deal of
excitement all over tho city for two or throe
days. 1 remember one day an olil colored
woman came in great excitement to my
house and said she had hom'd tlio governor

city at once—the Indians were marching on
us, fully armed anil thirsting for our blood.
Sho lushed away, saying she was going to
pack up and leave. A German woman who
lived on the other side of tho block, and
whoso lot was opj>osito mine, barricaded her
door with her bureau and bed, and got her
ax ready to defend herself and, in an extrem
ity, to chop down tho fence and take refuge
in our house. Ph'was fully convinced an

packed up wlmt they could conveniently
carry and rushed down to Bridgo square,
where many persons were assembled, expect
ing every moment to hear tho war whoop of
tho savages. Our carriage horses were taken
by tho state for service during tho campaign.
One of them, a very line horse, was shot dead

Golden Rods and Asters.
Vick's Magazine thinks that these grouped
together should l»o accepted as our national
flowers—"emblems of endurance, light and
freedom." After midsummer, in this coun
try, our rural landsoape is everywhere bright
ened by tbo golded rods and astei*s; they form
a distinct ami Uviutiful feature of tho scenery.
Tho eyes of our countrymen aro everywhere
gladdened by their smiles, north and south,
oast and west, ou the hills and the moun
tain sides, in tho valleys aud on tlio brood
prairies, by tho roadsides and the streams,
and in the field and copses they stund as
tokens of tho genial heat that brings from the
soil the golden grams and tlio bcuutiful, lus
cious fruits. No other country in tho world
is thus characterized; these plants belong to
America, and as such should be our pride
ami delight.
Whilo on this continent there aro from six
ty to seventy species, and perhaps moro, of the
solidagos, or gulden rods, and nearly all of
them of vigorous habit, growing from a foot
to eight feet hi height, all tbo world besides
affords less than a dozen, mid theso for the
most part of small sizo aud confined to fow
localities of limited area, and always iu such
small numbers as to ma ko them rare plants.
The species of asters in this country are still
more numerous than those of tlio golden rod.

METHODS OF THE CO-OPERATIVE
ESTABLISHMENT AT LIEGÇ.
A Pœullar Scheme of Industrial Ph t l A s
Hen—Division Between Capital, Labor,
Talent and "Nature"—How the Morh
Changea Hands—Reanlta.
m
As with his social palace, po In his scheme
of industrial distribution, M. Godin's ideas
were colured by Fonrierist recollections.
Before 1880 M. Godin had merely set apart a
certain sum—£8,000 or £10,000—out of the
profits ot tho year to be distributed among
bis men *»« a bonus; but In 1880 he converted
the business into a commandite company, and
introduced a complicated system of arrange
ments for realising effectively Fourier's prin
ciple of a just division of tho produce of in
dustry, the division between capital, labor
and talent, according to the imix>rtance of
their several contribution«. It is true he
thought this principle theoretically defective#
tiecauMd talent was only a particular kind dt
labor, anh because nature, which Fourier
wholly ignored, was, in Godin's opinion, as
im(>ortAnt a contributor to production as any
of the other three. Nature's share in the di
vision ought, he thought, to be appropriated
by the state, partly by means of tho nation
alization of land for the purpose of letting it
out to all sorts of productive societies, and
partly by means of a heavy graduated suc
cession duty; and the funds thus obtained
ought to be employed in establishing a sys
tem of universal insurance against sickness,
accidents, age aud vicissitudes generally.
But iu the meantime, so long as the laws of
privat» inheritance and private property in
land remained unmodified, and tho state
showed no disposition to serve herself heir to
nature's share, individual producers must
each set aside that share for themselves, and
consequently the flrst part in M. Godin's an
nual division is 25 per L'eut, of the whole net
profits to a reserve fund for purposes of per
sonal insurance. In iwssing I may say that
besides this every workman is obliged to pay
to thut fund 2 [ter cent, on his wages, that in
1883 the fund amounted to 500,000 francs,
and in tho three years It had existed at that
time more than 90,000 francs hod been paid
out of it for sick relief and pensious on a
comfortable scale.
Next to nature's deal comes tho deal of
talent or intelligence, and that also is fixed
at 25 |>er cent. The director alono (M. Godin
during his lifetime) got ami gets 13 per cent,
of tho profits, in addition to his salary of
1^.000 franca. In 1883 this 13 per cent
aiUAvntod to moro tlmn four times his salary.
Half tho profits going thus in equal shares to
nature and intelligence, the other half re
maining to bo divided between tho factors,
capital und labor. Capital had already re
ceived 5 per cent, interest, ami labor had of
course already received its weekly wages, all
before there wits any calculation of profit at
all, and M. Godin concluded that the proper
principle now was to give capital a share of
the » i naming half of the profits in propor
tion to the amount of interest it received,
ami labor in pro[Kirtion to the w'uge9 it had
received. In 1HS3 the total amount of interest
paid was 230,000 francs on 4, «00,000 francs of
capital, ami tho total wages [»aid w as 1,888,000
francs, so that of this remaining half- of tha
profits some nine-teuths go to tho deal of
j labor.
I II. Godin's schemo, however, by no meani
ends boro; his object was to make tho em
ployes in the final result owner of ths
capital of tho business, nnd with this view hs
decided that tho laborer's shore of the profits
should not be paid immediately into their
hands, to bo used at their discretion, but
should be applied to buy for them shares in
tho business. In this way tho business il
gradually fulling into the hands of the labor
ers engaged iu it. In 1883 they already poe
sensed stock amounting to nearly two millions
of francs, and though tho capital has been
raised to 0,000,000 francs, it w ill only take a
fow more years for it to be acquired entirely
by tho employes. Tho interest o»» the shares
they possess they receive like their wages, tfl
spend ns they will.
M. Godiu states, in his book on govern
ment, thut tho average amount of indirect
taxation on articles of consumption paid per
kl. head in t j lo familistère of Guiso is seventy
that flye f rauc8| ant [ turning to books of statistics
we find that tho average for Franco generally
ail oll jy thirty francs. Tho people of th«
ex familistère live, therefore, two and a hall
toe times better than tho rest of tho French.
thi XHeir working day is ten hours, and they
have besides common holidays, two special
the f e t® days of their own every year—the Feast
ol 0 f Labor on the first Sunday in May and th«
simply Foust of Infancy on the first buiuluy in
an fcjoptember.
ol The director, who at tho head of the whole
Ol place, is an autocrat in ull business affaira.
