A Spinning song-

 

Over and over, round and round,
Like a gold-green top on a crystal ground,
‘ With never a whizz or a singing sound,
Thcbeautiful earth goes spinning.
She sweeps in a circle around the sun
With Time, and the year-long race is won.
By both—to a minute; ’tis ever done
And ever again beginning.

We clasp our hands in amaze, and cry,

“ ’A time to be born, and a time to the,

Is given to men, but the year's go by,
Unending and unbending.”

But on New Year’s morning the people sing

And [wail in a breath; and} the broad lands

ring ,

With “The King is dead-long live the King!”

But the earth 3068 on with her spinning l"

Front the Vicksburg Herald, August 29 (Dem.)
A Statement From Mrs. Dixon.

 

‘ SHE DECLARES THE MURDER A POLITICAL ONE
-—‘A PLAIN BECI'I‘AL OF THE FACTS—DIX—
ON'S DYING worms.
Political animosity and personal hatred
have at length accomplished their dire pur-
pose. My husband was murdered in the
streets of ,Yazoo City on the morning of the
19th by James A. Barksdale ; ' Democratic
candidate for the office of Chancery Clerk.
Without proof, yet without remorse, have
the epithets of liar,_infidel, murdered, gam
bler, etc;, beenheap'ed"3 upon him, I can refute
every slandergeyer produced against him, and
it was the intention of him who wasso ruthless-
ly and violently torn from the arms of his wife
and little ones. This so—called liar, infidel,
murderer, gambler, etc., was the same whose
name brave men were; proudly-upon their
bosomsin 1875, as indicative of his leader—
ship of them, in the hour of his country’s
peril. Drawn, up in rank and file on the
streets of Yazoo City, my husband and his
brave comrades received the commendation
of Lamar, Singleton, George‘and others, for
his ecuragegz'a‘nd: fidelity to his country.
In this present campaign, which has cost him
his life, when charged with midnight meet-
lugs? and incendiary influences upon the col-
ored race, he repeatedly demanded aninvcs-
ligation of these charges, and challenged his
accusers to produce any responsible man
white or black, to assert this upon his per-
sonal knowledge, and promising when they
would do so, he would leave the country
never to return. In all'his political meetings
he invited the participation 'of his opponents,
and no one has ever been able to produce any
argument or appeal from him; calculated to
bring aboilt_discord_between the races. He
was called _thejt‘man of violence.” I leave it
to the public to decide who were the men of
violence during the campaign. When the
mob of the 25tth July threatened his life,
and he was ordered like a thief and an outlaw
to leavehis heme and family, and; these de-
mands made in the presence of his family;
the sanctuary of his home polluted by these
lawless scenes, even over, the cradle of his
almost dying babe; was there from him or
his friends one single act of violence or retal-
iation 7 He was a strictly temperate man, and
no one had more regard or appreciation for
the virtue and chastity of woman. As an
enemy, he was bold and aggressive; as a
friend he was warm, affectionate and true as
steel. That he was not the outlaw portrayed
by his political traducers, I refer to the fact
that at his funeral was gathered a larger con-
course of people than have ever assembled at
this place to pay the last sad tribute of
respect to the dead. If this is not a political
murder, why is The Herald so careful to
stifle public sentiment, and so eager to -pre“-
judge the case ? When before was a citizen
of any town shot down without warning, the

Committee, also to John Posey (who was sec-
retary of the mass convention, when these
scurrilous resolutions were read), and de-
manded of Posey the names of the two men
who could say they had ever heard me plot;
ting the asssasination of Barksdale. He
refused their names. saying that I wished to
attack them. I again sent to him that I did
not—had no desire or wish to harm anyone
-'—only wished to clear up the groundless
charges and the plot which I had seen grad-
ually thickening against me. He again re—
fused the names, saying that he would con-
front me." My husband said before dying :
“I had rather been killed than to have killed
any of them"—and when I exclaimed: “Oh!
no, I would that you had killed them all,and
your life been spared to me"—hc said, “No,
no, you must not say that." He also said:

“I wish Jim Barksdale was here to see a
brave _man die." That some members

of the Democratic Executive Committee, or
those who indorsed those scurrilious resolu-
tions of the 15th of August, have reconsid-
ered the convictions they held at the time of
my husband’s imprisonment for the murder
(as they in those resolutions call it), the cold-
blooded murder of Samuel Harrison, I here—-
with append an extract from a letter writ—
ten my husband by the Hon. J. C. Prewitt,
brother-in-law to James A. Barksdale, while
my husband lay in prison. He states in a
letter of March 5, 1878: “I know you are an
innocent and persecuted man, and I sincere-
ly hope that you may come out redeemed and
cleansed from all stain. The people are al-
ways right—they will vindicate you in the
end, and they will never forget the gallant
man who drove out their plunderers and
oppressors in the historic war of 1875. " Then
again, April 18, he says: “With kindest re-
gards and the hope that you will be acquit-
ted, not only on account of yourself, but your
wife and children, and because of your inno-
cence, I am very truly and sincerelyt J. C.
Prewitt." Thus a man of legal ability, and
never at any time a particular friend of my
husband, declares his opinion that he was an
“innocent and persecuted man." This ends
my statOment, honest andtrue, sacred to the
memory of my murdered husband.

The Weather asa Pain Producer.

 

It is a familiar experience that certain bod-
ily pains vary according to the weather. A
series of observations on this subject, made
with much ability and perseverance,has late-
ly been reportedto the American Academy
of- Sciences by Prof. Mitchell. They are by
Captain Catlin of the United States army,who
losta leg during the war, and since that time
has suffered a good deal from traumatic neu-
ralgia. He carefully noted for five years the
efiects produced on him by changes of the
weather. For the first quarter of these five
years there was 2,470 hours of pain, for the
second quarters 2,700 hours, for the third

- quarters 2,056 hours,and for the last quarters

2,221 hours.

The ‘best “yield .of pain” is in January,
February and March, and the poorest in the
third quarter, July, August and September.
During these five years, while the sun was
south of-the equator, there. were 4,692 hours
of pain, against 4,158 hours while it was
north of the equator. The average duration
of the attacks for the first quarters was twenr
ty-two hours, and for the third quarters
only 17-9 hours. Taking the four years
ending Jan. 1, 1875, it is found that of the
538 storms charted by the signal bureau, 298
belong to the two winter quarters, against
239 for the summer quarters. Hence we
have the ratio of the number of storms of
the winter and summer quarters correspond;-
ing to the raito-ofilie amount of neuralgia
far these respective periods; and the ratio

' About two miles from Trenton, N. J., on
the old Millham road, lies the Fashion Stud
farm, owned by H. N. Smith, Esq, of New
York, and famous as the home cf. Goldsmith
Maid and other noted trutters. The P1300
was formerly ’the property of the New Jer—
sey Agricultural Society, and was used for
the State fairs which were held annually in
Trenton, In 1870 Mr. Smith'camc into pos-
‘ses’sionbf the estate, and, appreciating the
many advantages of the situation, determin—
ed to indulge his fondness for horses by
making this the model stock farm of New
Jersey: The grounds comprise 150 acres of
undulating pasture, with'a winding stream
flowing through the entire length. Mr. E.
L. Riddle, the superintendent of the place,
informed me that Mr. Smith has invested
at least $300,000 in|the enterprise. The
three large stables are painted in bright col—
ors; the stalls inside are models of neatness ;
and grooms are continually moving around
among the horses, brushing them until they
glisten in the sunlight. There is abundance
of shade, trees: throughout the farm; the
roads are all in good condition, and the mile
track connected with the place is used every
evening for training the young stock and
testing their speed. There are inall about
130 head of stock on the farm; ninety of
these are Mr. Smith's own property, the
other forty are mares and their foal sent there
for the season. "

In Mr. Smith's stud are four-of— the best,
bred stallions in the country. The first is
Jay Gould, a handsome boy, 15 hands 2
inches high. He was fooled in 1864 by
Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Although his re-
cord is 2:21§, he'ha‘s made better time. On
Oct. 15, 1874, after making his regular sea.
son of five months at the farm, he trotted a
mile in public in Baltimore in 2:19}.~ Jay
Gould could at onetime command $50,000 in
the market.

Next comes the tall bay Socrates, moving
over the track with majestic strides. He is
also fromBysdyk’s Hambletonian, and has
frequently'sh'own the true mettle of his stock
on the race course. He was foaled in 1866,
and in 1870 won‘ the four-year old stakes in
Prospect Park. -

The superb black stallion seen at a dis-
tance from the rest, prancing and curvetting
with untameable spirit, is Gen. Error, the
pride of Mr. Smith’s stable. He was'foaled
in 1855, being sired by Vermont Hero, who
was by Sherman Black Hawk. Gen. Knox
is an inbred Hambletonian‘, possessing sev—
eral direct strains of Messenger blood and
one from Justice Morgan. He is pronounc—
ed by competent judges to be one of the
best stock horses in the country. His mag-
nificent proportions and glossy black coat to-
gether with the power- and grace of all his
movements, nake him a favorite with every
judge of horses. Some years ago a Well-
known horseman was so struck by his beauty
that he offered $50,000 for the stallion. Mr.
Smith smiled and replied: “Money cannot
buy him.” Gen. Knox is the sire of some
fast trotters, such as (Lady Maud, record
2:18}; Camors, record» 2; 19%; Gilbrath
Knox, ,l'feCOl’d 2:263- ; 28308111], record 2:26;
ralso Plato, Phil Sheridan, Knox Boy, Light—
-foot, Lady Knox, and Barbara Knox, wh
records are all under 2:35. .:,

- The youngest of the stud is Gen. Wash-
ington. a handsome bay,foaled Feb. 22,1874.
Gen. Knox is his sire, and his dam is Lady
Thorn, whose record is 2:18%. His good
stock gives promise that he will become a,
fathom. and Mr. Riddle has every hope he
will yet make his mark as a trotter. There

or nay. n. a. summons,

Leaving Block Island we made for Mar-
tha’s Vineyard. The first land seen is Gay
Head at the south-western extremity, a bluff
which stand 130 feet high. It gets its name
from various colored ridges which form the
cliff. Professor Hitchcock says that in a
cross section, four fifths of a mile long,twen-
ty-three bright colored bands of clay, sand,
conglomerate, lignite, and iron ore were
seen, the colors being white, blood red, dull-
red, yellow-red, black, brown and purple.
Professor Gunning, with the imagination of
a poetic geologist, asserts that from a dis—
tance the cape looks like a great banner
lifted over the sea to symbohze an island
won' from the domain of the ocean. We
saw it from a distance and also near by but
saw no banner, unless it might be the
washed shirt of the light house keeper hang-
ing out to dry. I fear the Professor’s head
was unusually gay when he saw this wonder-
ful, bright colored up-lifted banner.

The inhabitants of Gay Head are descen—
dants from the Pequot tribe of Indians for
whom government established a reservation
on the western end of the island. They num-
ber 160, subsist by farming and fishing, are
not taxed and have no vote. None of pure
blood are left. Gay Head Light which is
173 feet above the water has a lamp or
French manufacture which with the machin-
ery cost $16,000 . .

The soil is delightful through the Vineyard
Sound, one of the great thoroughfares of
the world for shipping. The point of in-
terest new on Martha’s Vineyard is Oak
Bluif’s where Cottage City has been laid
out by the Camp Meeting Association. Here
are fine hotels, a plank sidewalk a mile long
overlookin.the sea, the evening promenade
of throngs, and miles ofconcrete roads and
side walks running through beautiful groves,
where among trees, grass and flowers are
thousands of Summer cottages, of fairy-like
architecture. Indeed no scene out of fairy
land can go beyond this delightful resort» for
graceful beauty, airness, refinement and in-
finite variety. Swept by invigorating
breezes, shaded by dense foliage, diversfied
by miles of carefully built drives and walks,
the cottages constructed in every variety of
shape but always with rare taste, and ex-
quisitely neat and comfortable, this city of
worshipers is a charm to every sense, wheth—
er you see it in the brightness of the morn-
ing or lose your way, amidst its labyrinth
of streets and avenues, in the evening when
the gas lights glimmer weirdly among the
trees, and strains of music, floats out from
the open door of cottages where family
groups are pleasantly gathered for worship
or entertainment. -
The next stay was at Pasque Island, one
of the Elizabeth Isles which separate Vine-
yard Sound from Buzzard’s Bay. About
fifteen years ago a club of gentlemen of
Wealth, forty in number, from New York
and cities around, Cincinnati, ,St Louis,.and
Cuba, united in the purchase of glewhole
of Pasque Island, paying $5000for the 1000
acres which make it up, and established it
as their summer headquarters for fishing and
enjoyment. _ They have erected fine houses

ApropOs of the ‘Rev. Md'liihrifay’s failure
financially and ministeriallyml Boston. “Old"
Colony” tells the Christian Inlelhycn'eer, that
neither result is wondered at by those who
have been familiar with Mr. Murray as a
financier. He is the sort of-man, mys this
correspondent,who will give a poor man 850
and spend 50 more in buying some gratifica—
tion on the same day that his note for $100
is payable and unprovided, for. But Mr.
Murray has long been a most notorious and
melancholy “failure" from a moral and min-
isterial point of view. His record has been
from the beginning that of one—and he has
too many compeers in the ministry of our
day—who systematically kept .self -. in the
foreground and sacrificed the most solemn
interests to the indulgence of. his personal
eccentricities. He went to Boston avowed—
ly prepared to pursue the course which
might contribute most effectually todhls own
conspicuity and independence. .' The glam—
our of popular talent and theprospect of full
houses and rented peWs wag-as usual, too
much for the Park street people,'notwith—
standing their knowledge and fore-warnings

most urgent for calling him were afterwards
selected as the victims of his satire “danis-

Church never gave thoughtful: men 'snim—é'l

or carelessly and heartlessly performedThose
who personally liked him ithe best laughed
at his religion. His recklessness of public
opinion grew at last into a defiance. It
seemed as if the latter years of his Boston
life was a deliberate experiment upon the
charity and patience of men, till at last'his
following became restricted to those who
liked him the more for his lack" of religious
principle or regarded him as n representa-
tive of the human heart’s protest against
whatsoever things are “blue" intheology,
straight-faced in social and conventional pro—
‘prieties or authoritative in any sense. There
was evidently some wormiu the bud. Thom
who had been most closely associated with
him, whether in the city ,or in the wilder-
ness, were at no loss to "account for the bid-
den blight. Only now that the failure is a
matter of dollars and cents, and is on record
in the Sheriff's office, it becomes more ap:
preciable to many minds.- The descent of
sons of the morning into the conditions of
dead beats and criminals, “Old Colony” says
still goes on in and nesr the “Hub.’? _ The
Rev. H. A Shorey, of Dorchestcr, has pur—
chased and become editor of Mr. Murray’s
paper, the Golden Rule, and has also ac-
cepted the pastorate of the remnant, of the
“New England Church." Mr. :Shorey is
represented as a man ojximmense energy
and organizing ‘talentau man of brains and
forcible preaching qualities, but ‘whether he
has the mysterious attraction which moves

the church must prcveja failure in his hands
also, may well be questioned without any
imputation upon his worthor ability. He

ing souls7 and' is a- révivalist in his methods.

Whetever he does will “be . ayast and essen-
tial improvement on his predecessor and a
great gain to Boston andthe cause of Christ.
But the question is whether these very qual-
ities will not disqualify him‘ for building on
Mr. Murray's foundations.

My fair. my own dear one,
Why did'st thou desert me?
Why did’st thou shun me, When I would Iain
have '
Sought thee ?
To pour into thine ear, in
y love for thee -
When I would have run through fire ’ and

To serve thee.

Now I can but think of thee,

And of the merry times we had together,
When wont to roam amid green fields,

And, perchance, to rest beside a. running
Stream. '

Where love was thought, but never spoken,
Where we would sit in silent thought,
Thinking, pcrchancc, of knights of yore,
Who, with his lady-love, haddonc the same
Before us;

But who, unlike us,had talked of love at last.

And I, though oft I had thine hand in mine,

. Never didIbreathe of the love that in me

Then, I would, come and claim thee.

But which 'cut my heart and severed every

Still to church I went the next Sunday night.
To see you home as usual,
You passed me by, and did not'look,
As your eyes were on a stranger.

So that he could have those bright eyes

But no, I must not think,
I must remember that I was not chosen,

But that my rival now adores
The light that once was mine.

 

The Later Peace.

 

BY PAUL II. PAYNE.

We have passed the uoonday summit,
We have left the noondays, heat

And down the hillside slowly
Descend our wearied feet, ,

Yet the evening airs are balmy,
And the evening shadows sweet.

Our summer’s latest roses
Lay withered long ago;

And even the flowers of autumn
Scarce keep their mellowed glow.

Yet a peaceful season wooes us
Ere the time ,of storms and snow.

Like the tender twilight weather
When the toll of day is done,

And we feel the bliss of quiet—
Our constant hearts have won—

When the vesper planet blushes,
Kissed by the dying sun. ‘

‘So falls that tranquil season,
Dew-like on soul and sight,
Faith’s silvery star rise blended
. With memdry's sunset light,
Wherein life pauses softly I
Along thegve'rge of night.

author of this slander, hold him responsible;

also inform James Barksdale I have never

made such threats ;" all of which he swears

in his dying testimony, under oath, and in

view of eternity, to have done the day be-
fore he was murdered. My husband was an'
infidel, say his accusers, the Democratic
Committee. No one of their falsehoods
has less foundation - than this. In the
privacy of his home. and in his serious mo-
ments, did he always avow his firm belief in
the Christain religion. While he was not a
scatter nor a skeptic. No man of his means
contributed more largely to the support of
the churches of this place than be. A few
hours before his death he was baptised in

the Catholic Church, and his last word was -

“Bible.” When dying he forgave his mur-
derers, saying: “I had rather been killed than
to have killed any of them." Immediately
after the shooting of my husband, telegrams
were hastily sent from this plat: by the chair.
man and others of the Democratic Commit-
tee, stating that he was killed in a “street
fight," “personal encounter,” etc. It takes
two parties to make an “encounter,” a “street
fight." and in this affair the murderer was
the only actor. My husband, after being
shot in the back, with broken and mutilated
hand, and in a fainting condition, crawled up
a stairway opposite, and fired his pistol four
times, with broken right hand supported by
the left hand. Here is my husband's dying
testimony, taken by our estimable and faith—
ful Mayor, who was the only ofiicer who dar-
ed perform his duty when the mob of the
25th of July threatened to rush into our
home and tear my husband from his family,
to commit the deed of violence for which
they were thirsting. A 9:30 o’clock on the
morning of the 19th inst., my husband was
brought home on a lounge, borne by the pop.
ulace, naked to his waist, the City Physician
having torn off his clothing down the street
to examine his wounds. When placed upon
his bed, my husband gasped: “Oh! I am
murdered; ” then, after a moment or so, “for
nothing. If I could only live long enough
to tell it all.” Then upon the arrival of May-
or Holt, my husband, being duly sworn,
made the following statement: “I was walk-
ing down the street—as I neared McCor—
mick’s drug store, I saw Jim Barksdale and
W. D. Gibbs" (who by the way, is Democrat.
ic State Senator) “standing in the door—I
thought I could get by without being attack.
ed (although for two weeks I have not gone
down the street expecting to get back alive),
when, just as I got opposite McCormick’s,
Jim Barksdale rushed out into the middle of
the street, and began firing at me. I felt
that I was badly shot, and made for a stair-
way near; crawled up, sat on the top step,
and fired my pistol until I faint ." In a
cross-examination, Mr. Holt asked him if he
saw Jim Barksdale with a gun. “I did see
him with a shot gun." Mr. Holt asked if he
saw anyone else shoot. “I did not." Mr,
Holt asked if-Jim Barksdale spoke at all, and
if Barksdale fired first. “I did not hear a
sound, and did not dream of immediate dau-
ger until I felt that I was badly shot in the
back.” Mr. Holt asked my husband if he
had ever threatened Jim Barksdale’s life, or
made any threats of any nature. “Never in
my life, and only yesterday sent a friend who
told him I was innocent of all charges.

One other interesting observation is as fol—
lows: Every storm sweeping across the con-
tinent consists of a vast rain’area, at the cen—
~terof which is a moving space of greatest
barometric depression. The rain usually pre-
cedes this storm center by five hundred and
fifty to six hundred miles, but before and

around the rain lies a belt which may be
called the neuralgic margin of the storm, and
which precedes the rain about one hundred
and fifty miles. The fact is very deceptive
because the sufferer may be on the far edge
of the storm basin of barometric depression
and see nothing of therain,yet have pain due
to the storm. ~

 

 

The Dipper.

 

A writer in the “Contributors' Club" of
the |August Atlantic, tells of his ‘dismay
when, in speaking to some English friends
about the star group. of the “Dipper,” and
of its being the only one of the constella—
tions whose appearance really conforms
with the name, he was met with the blank
query—

“What is a dipper?”

“Here,” he says, “were people with whom
I could talk for an hour about Locke, Berk:
eley andHume, who didn’t know, after all,
what a dipper Was 1”

When he tried to explain the result was—

“A ladle? We understand. 0, yes. A la-
dle t”

“In this case," the writer adds, “not only
the world but the the things varied; that is
they don't have ‘dippers,’ strictly so-called
in Englan .’-'

.When Professor Proctor was asken by the
editor‘of St. Nicholas to write a paper on
the constellation of the “Dipper," be ap-
peared embarrassed for a moment and then
said— '

“Oh! You mean the ‘Cieaver.’ We call
that constellation the ‘Cleaver’ in England."

However, the professor has at last found
out the American name, and could so far
Americanize himself as to give a capital pa-
per'on the “Dipper to St. Nicholas, which
appeared several months ago. '

The breaking up of the constellation of the
“Dipper” is prophesied in an article by Pro-
fessor Richard A. Proctor in the September
St. Nicholas. The professor finds logical
reasons for his belief in the motions of the
stars composing the constellation, and illus-
trates these with careful diagrams of his own.
In one map the “Dipper" is shoWu as it was
100,000 years ago, and in another as it will
be 100,000 years hence. ‘ Five ofthe seven

distinct motions of their own, and are slowly

Who was the Bad Boy.

Little Annie was prettily dressed and stand.
ing in front of the house waiting for her
mother to go to ride -

A tidy boy, dressed in coarse clothes, was
passing, when the little girl said:

“Come here, boy,and s’ake hands with me.
I dot a boy dus like you named Bobby. "

The boy, laughed, shook hands with her
and said:

“I’ve got a little girl just like you,only she
hasn’t got any little cloak with pussy fur on
it."

Here a lady came came out the door and
said:

“Annie, you must not talk with bad boys
on the streets; I hope you havn’t taken any-
thing from her? Go away, and never stop
her again, buy." .

That evening the lady was called down to
speak toa boy in the hall. He was very
neatly dressed and stood with his cap in
his hand. It was the enemy of the morn-
ing. .
“I came to tell you that I was not abad
boy,” he said; “I go to Sunday school and
help my mother all I can. I never tell lies,
nor quarrel, nor say {bad words, and I don't‘
like a lady to call me names and {ask me if
I’ve stolen her little girls clothes from her."

“I’m very glad you are so good,” said the
lady, laughing at the boys earnestness. ‘ ‘Here
is a quarter of a dollar for you."

“I don't want that,” said Bob, holding his
head very high. “My father works in a foun-
dry and has lots of money. You’ve got a
bigger boy than me. havn't you 1”

“Yes, why ?"

“Does he know the Commandments 7"

“I'm afraid not very well."

“Can he say the Sermon on the Mount
and the Twenty-third Psalm and the Golden
Rule 1" . . - '

“I am very much afraid he cannot," said
. the lady, laughing at the boys bravery.

“Does he not ride his poney on Sunday in.
stead of going to church ?"

“ I am afraid he does. but he ought not,"
said the lady, blushing a little.

“Mother don’t know I came here," said
the bright little rogue, “but I thought I
would just come around and see what kind
of folks you were, and I guess mother
would rather your boy would not come
around our doors, because she don’t want
little Mamie to talk to bad boys in the street.

Our sail from here was over Buzzard’s
Bay into the Narragansett waters to Rocky
Point, where they gave a clam bake to 1500

that none should omit the walk along the

its suggestions of prosperous and happy liv—

Bulky Horses.

 

The following rules are recommended by
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals, for the treatment of bulky horses :

1. Pat the horse upon the neck, examine
the harness carefully, first on one side then
on the other, speaking encouragingly while
doing so; then jump into the wagon and give
the word go; generally be will obey.

2 A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him go round in a
If the first dance ,of this kind does
not cure him, the second one will be sure let

3 To cure a bulky horse, simply place
your hand over the horse’s nose ilnd shut off
the wind until he wants to go, and then to.
him go. .

4. The brains of horses seem to entertai
but one idea ata time; thus continued whip.
ping only confirms his stubborn resolve; if
you can by any means give him a new sub-
ject to think of, you will have no trouble in
starting him. A simple remedy is to take a
couple, of turns of stout twine around the.
fore gleg,.ju_st below the knee, and tie in a
bow-knot. At , the first- check he will go
dincing off, and after going a short distance,
you can get out and remove the string to
prevent injury to the tendon in your further
drive. 1 . .

Maine farmers are paying a dollar each to
New York advertisers for “sure cure or Po'.

ters in each of which two ébips were inclus—
ed, with ‘ the . following directions :--="I’lace . .

bugs are as lively as ever, but the farmers

Mr. William Saunders, an English journal-

we need now is a government supervision of

the latter also. We, he says, are weak just

where England is strong, and strong where
England is weak; but he probably got his
savings bank notion from the west where
those institutions on: under no supervision at
all, are not mutual but stock companies, and
are really only shaving shops under a deceive
ing title, the difierence between saving and
shaving being a vital distinction.

 

He who hath music in his soul but cannot
express it through lack of technical skill» with
instruments devised to stimulate the con-
cord of sweet sounds, need no longer de-
spair. Inventive genius has solved the
problem without forcing him to be content
with the monotonous hand-organ or the me-
chanieal music-box. The automatic organ,
as it is called, involves the necessity on the
part of the player of using the feet upon
the treadles, but the manipulation of the
keys by the fingers is dispensed with by the
peculiar process of having the music play
itself. In place of- ordinary notes printed
upon a few pages the roll of music is yards
in length and the notes are perforations
varying in size and place according to the
time and pitch. By an arrangement of
wheels this roll is unwound and drawn over
the openings above the reeds by the same
niotion of the pedals which forces the air
through the latter and as the perforations
pass over the reeds the " musical sounds are
allowed to escape in harmony, just as they
do when the keys are pressed in an ordinary
organ, When the tune is played, an ingen—
ious contrivance :permits the machinery to
be reversed and the sheet of music to be re
moved in readiness for another performance.
It can be readily removed and another put
in its place. According to the scope of the
instrument the style of the music performed
maybe varied from a "Stabat Mater" to airs
from “Pinafore.” The cost of the rolls is
only slightly in advance of ordinary sheet
music; while a large sized instrument can
be bad for about the same as the cheapest

' Ordinary parlor organ. This invention is a

realization of the fancy of music reeled out
_by the yard. ,

FairStreet. above Catharine. The Houseis '

Is the musical laugh of my little ones dear.

Six little hands thatare twining the roses

With daisies and buttercups, nature’s sweet
posies,

Making a wreath just as bright as can be

For a certain momma. ‘Tis a secret, you
see,

But a wee little butterfly, flying this way,

Told mamma the secret, if truth she must
say. '

O fragrant June roses! not sweeter are ye

Than the rosebuds the Father has given to
me.

God grant they may grow ’neath the sun-
shine of love

Into all that is pure for the garden above;

Their dear hearts be guarded from evil’s -
sad power ,

Till the buds blossom out in the full, per-
fect flower. .

Three little sunbonnets all in a row

Under the hedge where the J un‘e roses blow;
Three little faces, all laughing, I see,
Throwing sweet kisses so gayly to me—
Dearly I love them, my blossoms so fair,
My children, whose joys and whose sorc-

rows I share!

The “Humorous Column” Man.

They are calling for copy. It’s late

And the oil in his lamp is low,

But his pen creeps over the sheet

Very painfully and slow. ‘

Is be writing a (lirge of death

To a measure grave and and P _
Nay; his heart may be numb with grief ,
But his pen must be keen and glad;
For when, tomorrow, at ease,

You your morning paper scan, ‘

You will laugh at what he is writing now——
He’s the“humorous column” man.

It’s hard to be witty and gay

When the heart is troubled and sore;
It isn’t an easy matter to joke

While the wolf snugs under the door.
It goes somewhat against the grain

To jest that others may laugh,

And to grimly mock at one’s own despair
With a rollicking paragraph. --
But bread must be somehow won,
’No matter although the plan

0f winning it is as strange as that
Of the “humorous column” man.

What wonder if now and then
IIis jokes are a trifle weak,
Or, at times, if his pen 5 should unaware-s
In bitter accents speak P
What marvcijif once in a while
His laugh has a hollow ring,
And between the smiling lips of his mirth
Peeps out a half-hidden sting?
For joy, like the poet, is born,
Not made at will in a span, ,
And its visits are few and far between
To the “humorous column” man.
