Like shadows over streams;
But where the cheerful lights Of home
In constant lustre burn,

In the cities of the dead!

Among the wrecks of former days,
In dismal ruin strown;

From the leaves of withered trees,
For the voice of the departed
Seems borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice! it minglcs with
Each gay and careless strain;
scarce can think Earths minstrclsy
Will cheer my heart again:
The glad song of the summer waves,
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to mo
As their remembered words.

Still ON me sweetly fall;

SILK cULTURE-INTEREsTING FACTS.

SILK CULIURE-lNIEkES l. Az -.
A writer in the Boston Mercantile Journal,
who is well acquainted with this subject, presents
some interesting facts upon the history OF the silk
culture in this country. In 1922, King James
the Ist no great lover of tobacco, as our readers
are aware, directed the Earl of Southampton to
urge in Virginia the culture of silk sin prefer
ence to tobacco, which bringeth with it many
disorders and inconvenience Southampton
accordingly wrote to the Provincial Council, and
an order was Immediately passed for the planting
of Mulberry trees. LIN 1860 another act was
passed imposing fine of ten pounds of tobacco
on every planter who failed to plant at least ten
mulberry trees for every hundred and ten acres
Of land; and offering premium OF ten thousand
pounds of tobacco to any one who should export
200lbs. of silk. Four thousand pounds was given
TO an experienced silk culturist TO remain in the
colony and prosecute the culture. The attention
Of the English sovereign had been turned to Vir-
ginia by the failure of certain experiments which
he had made in England, in emulation of the
French The white mulberry is even at the
present day to be found in Virginia-probably
descended from these early attempts. Perhaps,
however, it is indigenous to the soil.
| But more was done In Georgia and South
Carolina toward the culture of silk than in Vir-
ginia. The lands in Georgia were granted on
condition that the settlers should plant one hun
dred white mulberry trees for every ten acres
Every encouragement given by the disinter
ested founders, by sending out trees, seeds and
worms; Piedmontese clergyman was employed
to instruct the colonies in the art; it enacted
.sthat raw silk, of American growth, should be
| imported duty free into the port of London;
even the seal of the State of Georgia was adorned
with the representation Of silk worms, and the
appropriate motto '.non sibi sed aliis.'' Georgia
silk was spoken Of in 1875 in England as proving
every good;'' and writer Of that time remarks
that IF Georgia and South Carolina will steadi
1 ly pursue this art, they may have the honor o
being called our silk colonies. A public Fila
ture was established, and in 1859 there was ex
ported from Georgia 10000 lbs Of silk
which sold at two shillings a pound higher
than that Of any other country; as confr
nation of which we notice paper which wa.
laid before the Commissioners of Plantations, by
the most eminent silk thSowsters in London
stating that having examined 300 lbs. of Georgi
silk, they find sits nature and texture truly good

much less waste than the China silk This
we may remark, is the present character Of Ame

HISTORICAL SOCIETIES IN AMERICA
Mr.. Callender's discourse, just published ir
the 4th volume of the Rhode Island Historical
lColections, gives brief notice of these Societies
In America, which were commenced by Massa
Ichusetts about so years since. In 1892, she
commenced publishing her collections, which are
OF the highest interest, and finappreciabe value,
from her being one of the earliest colonies, and
composed of SO many clerical and other persons
devoted to literary pursuits A great number
OF valuable documents in manuscripts, establish
ling important points in Indian wars, CONNER
cial and Political History, have been thus saved.
I The New York Society, the next in age, com
menced publishing in 1911, but from various
causes ceased to do any thing for years. 1t is
now reviving under new auspices, and will, we
trust, take the rank which the immense treasures
contained in our unexplored archives lay open
ior her. We have not space to enter into the
matter here, but will barely point to few deposit
tories yet totally uneXamined. l.. The beauti-
fully preserved MSS vols. in Dutch, in the care
Of the Clerk of this City and County, containing
records of the early Dutch Government, Of which
so little is known. The black sand yet shines
on the elegant penmanship, having never been
disturbed, we believe, by the fingers Of more than
one bookworm for 200 years! 2. The 25 to 80
folio MSS. volumes of Dutch records translated,
1
State Library, Albany, and numerous other docu-
ments there. 3. The invaluable and we-pre-
served ponderous foos of the records Of several
| of the oldest towns on Long Island, and of the
Hudson river. 4. The private MSS. in posses
sion of families of the Oldest settlers, Dutch,
| English, &c. 5. What the Historical Society of
New ork itself has in its valuable library, &c.
The first volume of the Pennsylvania Society
was published in 1926. Rhode Island began in
1927, and the arrangements of her collections are
admirable. Its early settlement contains the do
cuments of Roger Williams, its founder on the
Indian languages, and other papers, of infinite
value. Maine has yet published but one volumes;
viz: in 1881. Virginia, so old, so rich in hsto-
ry-patriarch with Massachusetts of this repub-
lic--has published but one volume. Even Michi-
gan, born yesterday, has published volume
Kentucky, full of border romance and Indian lc-
gends, has just founded her society. What have
the other States South, whose history is so in
teresng, done? Where Maryland, the Ca
rolnas, Georgia and Louisiana!
Even the City Of Washington is before them.
