THE DOUBLE DEATH
North Wilmington, 1856.

A certain queen lay dead on her bed
Of state in a room hung with black. At
night the room was lighted with wax Ia
pers, and captain with forty-nine men
was stationed on guard in an ante-cham
Der. Toward midnight the captain hear
ing a coach and six draw up TO the cas-
tie, went down to meet it, when he was
met by lady of noble appearance, clad
IN mourning, who asked permission TO
remain short time by the dead body
lie objected, that it was not in his power
to grant her request; she called herself
by familiar name, and argued that as
the late queens gou0ernaate, she had a
right to see her before she was buried
He wayered for some time; but she be-
came so urgent that he could excuse him
self no longer. lie therefore led her in
to the room, and having closed the door
upon her, walked up and down outside.
After while he stopped, listened, and
peeped through the key-hole, when, 10
he beheld the dead queen sitting upright
and whispering to the lady, with her
eyes closed, and without any sign of life
beyond slight movement of the lips
He ordered the soldiers to peep, one after
the other, and all of them saw the same
thing. When he himself returned to the
key-hole the dead queen was slowly re-
Stunning her former position on the state
bed. Soon aferward the lady came out
OF the room and was conducted down
stairs by the captain, who felt, while he
led her to the carriage, that her hand was
as cold as ice. The coach went off as
fast as 1t had come, and the captain per-
ceived that the horses breathed fire in
the distance. On the following morninu
news arrived that the gouvernaate. who
lived at country house several miles al,
had died the very hour at which she had
sat by the dead body German Legend

From the New England Farmer.
HOP RAISING, 4 TICKLE
RUSTNESS.

There are causes, and effects which |
follow causes, that may be felt years af-
ter causes cease 10 exist. There are
causes which lead to prosperity and those
which tend to adversely. Hop raising
and hop speculations, like lotteries, have
made some wealthy and a large number
sorry. There is no production grow
ing out of the earth liable to such fuctua-
tons in prices as hops. Whoever raises
hops to sell, runs gamblers risk, he
has no assurance whether he will realize
fifty cents pound, or lose his labor
Perhaps there was no town in this Com
monwealth more celebrated than Will
mington for producing hops at an early
period. In the latter part of the last
century, almost every farmer in town
had hop yard, and as hops grew in de-
mand the raisers prospercd, and from an
almost utter restitution of money, that
fascinating tempter began to circulate in
such sums as to produce a glddine;s in
some of the heads of those who had
been unaccustomed, only occasionally, to
have their organs of vision gratifed by
such q rare visitant. The flow of money
into Wilmington from the sale of hops.
was soon promulgated in the neighboring
towns, and the hop excitement arrived
at such pitch that men might be seen
from all directions bound to Wilmington
to purchase hop-roots, which afforded
another source Of profit to the producer.
As consequence of ready sale at
high prices, the hop fever became cpl
demic in all the neighboring towns, and
finally extended TO all the New England
States ana New York, till that business.
like every other profitable business. was
overdone, and the production was vastly
greater than the demand, and hops fell
from twenty-five cents or more, down TO
four cents a pound, or no sale, which
made many speculator regret his temer-
ity. After losing their labor and more
besides, for one or more reasons, the
farmers in their wrath would plough up
their hop yards and out their grounds to
q better use. When prices were HIGH.
yards would be multiplied when low.
they would be torn up. This course of
action and reaction was followed by con-
tinued fluctuations from the highest
prices to the lowest, or no sale at ALL
No produce ever sent into the market
has disappointed the expectations of
farmers more than hops, nor no species
OF traffic ever entered into, proved more
disastrous than hop speculations.
Now, let us view other consequences.
1t is well known that hops are not ne
cessary of life, but used mostly as a lux
ury. AT the time Of the hop mania. hon
raising was the prominent subject of con-
versation. The merino or hen fever
never had a harder struggle to form a
crisis than the hop fever Most of the
farmers directed all their energies to
the production of hops, which required
all the manure that possibly could be
robbed from the other crops, and Of

THE ECHO-SHELL.

THE ECH0-SHELL.
WHERE the sea-fountains
From the black roots of mountains
Arise;
Where the blessed white ray
Pierces not, night or day,
From the skies;
There the signing shell
Was born, did dwell.
Like the memory ola sound
Is the murmnr of the bound
Echo-sprite.
But clasp to mine ear.
The shell, and l hear
With alright,
The dread cannon boom and the roar
Ofwild battle, dim leagues from the Shore
Outright France;
Where, with dance
And with singing, her maidens beguiie
The hours, as they wait for the lovers
whose smile
And embrace shall delight them no more.
Trafalgar!
From the far
Deeps of ocean, the echoes still rise
That thy thunders awoke when the
paths of the skies
We're clouded with shades Of thy slain.
Yet again
l hear the sad voice of the sea
And l dream that it murmurs to me,
Come and rest
In my breast,
Far beneath the white tracks of the ships,
There the pillows, with cool, soft lips,
Kiss the sleeping,
And, with weeping,
Guard the tomb"
The sirens that dwell
In thy caves, fair shell,
Sing thus to the drowning soul,
When the wretch is too weak
To struggle or shrek,
And is quilted by the great sea-roll.
Now they yearn
To return
To the vast, silent halls of the sea;
larry not, for thy slave,
The swift-rushing wave,s
Is waiting, is calling for thee.

course but scanty crops OF gram, En-
glish hay and wheat could be obtained
from a cheated soil. Hops, ike other
bulky crops, exhaust the SOIL they MAKE
no return to it in the shape OF manure
and every ton transported from the town
was reducing the value of the soil. linus
this delusive money-making business
went on till most of the land would
neither produce hops nor any other de-
cent crop. Scanty crops of English hay
cornelled the cattle to live on meadow
hav. and who ever saw good butter or
beef produced from meadow hay? Ma
nure made from it was but feeble re-
storative to land growing poorer every
year under the exhausting system of hop
raising, and this day the exhausting et-
fects of growing hops, which left no re-
storatiye to sustain the soil, are visible.
For few years, at the close of the
last and the beginning of the present
century, very few country towns OF its
size could boast of as much money
brought in for produce as Wilmington,
but this was done at proportionate re-
duction of the value in the farms. The
excitement produced by this sudden
flowing in of wealth seemed to oyer
power reason, paralyze all inducement
to regular industry, and make the wages
of regular labor look like a very little
thing" and men whom we should have
as little suspected, as the deacons of the
Scottish covenanters, entered into hop
speculations to the neglect of good trades
farms, and every other pursuit Of honest
industry, and plunged in thoughtless lus
into the dazzling phantoms which pro.
mise wealth, till the last dollar was mort
gagged and the character weather-beater
and looked upon with suspicion where
veracity was required as test. In con-
sequence Of money becoming more plen-
/ ty, new ideas began to crowd out ole
ones, new desires to form, and new view;
and transports awakened in the craniums
of those which we had supposed were
proof against all sorts Of changes and in,
novations. The most Of the fortune:
made SO suddenly by hop speculations
were as transient as Jonah's gourd, ant
hardly recollect an individual who die
not lose a part of all the property which
he had, by patient industry, earned be
fore the hop excitement took place; ant
it is a question in the mind of man
thinking people whether Wilmington. a
a town, is dollar the richer for Their
ever having been such a thing in tn
world as a hop.
was personally and practically en-
gagged at hop raising from 1892 to 1897
and though young, the impression Of no
raising and hop gambling was indeIlibI
stamped on my memory in such MAI
ner that it will probably be one of ii
last things I shall forgct.
