Pic Mic at Glover's Grove

The Methodist, Baptist and Pres
byterian Sunday Schools, had u
Mon pic mic last Saturday at Glover's
Grove. Being present only in the
afternoon, we were thereby deprived
of the pleasure of hearing the
speeches of Rev. Mr., Mansfield, Mr..
<. Van Wyck and Prof E. ?. Ca
ter, which we learn vera excellent
and highly appropriate.
A splendid collation. of viands' at
noon, was spread out underneath the
green foliage, where adult and
Juvenile satiated their hunger to
fulIness. Many innocent and pleas
ant amusements were INDUCED in.
The boys and young men played
base ball, in the open space adlo'n-
ING the grove, while maidens and
Young men engaged themselves
in conversations, games, coquet-
ting, and that highly entertaining
game, "mumble-peg." 1t was real
laughable to see a certain young
man root his nose in the ground,
trying to lay hold of the peg, driven
in the earth, with his teeth. His
nose was made the object Of several
fattering compliments, One young
lady, of sprightly intellect, told him,
Notwithstanding the aphorism that
comparisons are odious," she must
be allowed to remark, that his nose
would amply suit any farmer in
search of gopher plow, aud as it
would be more useful than ornamen-
tad, she trusted he would adapt it to
t5as purpose. Another told him,
"Root hog or die" was applicable
and in order. The young man took
it all like Spartan hero, and enter
ed the gayety, mirth and repartee,
with as much zest as any of them.
He said it was source ct much
pride and qualification to be made a
public target, at which young ladies
might hurl their shafts of witticisms,
hard hits and irony, but he hoped
none of them would take advantage
of his lonely condition and make a
"proposition of marriage" as he
was "young thing and couldn't
leave his mother
The red jackets on the ground
had their sports and pleasures, and
their groups were handsomely beau
tilted by many of Goods best gift
to man"
Rev. Mr.. S, evidently had no
occasion to sing "Would | were a
child again, just for to-day" for
gathered around him, in their inno-
cent glee, were tiny abecedarians to
the more advanced young Misses.
His freaks of fancy imaged their
minds with pleasing anecdotes and
pastimes, and as often as the willow
and daisy shall wave their obeisance
to King Time, those children will
fondly revert to the man who enter
ed into their hearts, on the day of
the picnic at Glover's Grove, by
taking part in their childish sports.
The day was spent we think pleas
antly by all, yet there may have
been less pleasure with the more
"sober and serious owing to the
lack of more vivacious and hilarious
amusements.

CLOUDBD STARS,

The daylight was fading softly,
And l shut up my book with sigh.
To wait for the lamps Of evening
To brighten the twilight sky;
And one after one they spangled
The beautiful arch above,
And answered my gaze as softly
As the eyes Of the friends l love.
But soon or jne blue sky's bosom
A shadow cloud was drawn,
And the sta that had beamed so brightly
Were all ,m their places gone;
Yet l knew ley were calmly shining
Where Il ~ is forever clear,
And l knew nat by patient waiting
| should them at length appear.
Then softly. . very softly

And brushe with airy pinions,

All! thus nom affections circle -

Thus flieth the clouds Of darkness
And gloom on the mournful heart

The shadows Of earth shall fall,
When we put on our robes immortal,
Then, then shall we see them all

Successful Surgical Operation.

The San Francisco Call gives this
During the progress of a trial in the
Municipal Criminal Court, a physician
was placed upon the stand to explain
the nature of a wound inflicted by the
defendant upon the complainant. In
giving his testimony he described a
novel mode of extracting bullets. He
said "The bullet entered the right
side, little absve the hip, and in prob
ing the wound discovered where the
bullet lay. I was compelled to enlarge
the orifice Of the wound in order to in
troduce the forceps, and had just got
that instrument on the bullet, when the
wounded man, who was considerably un-
der the influence of liquor, struck me a
powerful blow on the side of the head,
which caused me to fall to the floor. He
then ran away and when 1 recovered
myself found my forceps in one cor
ner of the room, and near the instru-
ment was the bullet, which had been ex-
tracted by the force of the blow" The
Doctor also stated that as surgical
operation it was complete success but
he did not wish to perform one in the
manner described every day in the
week.

Old Ships.

There rs a ship now sailing from Hol-
land built in 1868, when the Prince of
Orange was fighting Phillip II. of Spain,
then at the zenith of his power. She
was sailing to the Indies when the Hol-
landers organized themselves into the
"Beggars of the Sea-" and as privateers-
men earned reputation which aston
ished the world. This Dutch ship is
called the Commissaries des Koning
Won der Heine." She passed the Cape
of Good Hope October, 1864, from Ba-
taGa for Holland, then two hundred

befs back in the Boston Daily Adcertiser
is notice that the whale ship Rousseau
(another of Stephen Girard's ships, built
at Philadelphia, in 1901 was then un-

in claim for the championship because
it could show baby eight months old

Montgomery County came forward with

old who weighed thirty-five pounds.
"Pooh " says Robertson County, " those

the figures collected by the Department
of Agriculture, none are more interesting
than those in regard to the produce and
profit of hay in the United States. In
regard to the value of hay, it seems to
be lowest in Nebraska. This State
seems to be the Paradise of the grasses.
1t is sold there at a profit for about
five dollars per ton, Notwithstanding the
great amount of fodder required for the
stock which is raised there.
In the Southern States, the report
shows that by selecting suitable kinds
excellent crops can be raised, although
the opinion has been that the South is
not grass country. Hay brought in
the South last year about $21 per ton.
The highest average price per ton in
any State last year seems to be in New

AGRICULTURAL.


BEAUT1FY1Na FARMs.--Greatp progress
has been made within the last twenty
five years by the farmers of the country,
not only in making their farms more
productive but in making them more
attractive. This, in large measure, is
the result of prosperous farming. Those
who had debts to pay, did not feel able
to expend much in ornamenting their
places but since they have freed them
selves from this burden, they have been
more disposed to attend to the appear
ance of things
There has been, also, advance i'll taste.
There are not so many now, as formerly,
who decry all attention to the ornamen-
tai as waste of time and money. This
race of niggardly and boorish men is fast
dying out. Increasing intelligence, the
circulation of agricultural reading, the
formation of a larger element of educated
and cultivated men into the profession,
have had powerful influence in secur-
ing more attention to the aesthetics of
farming, instead of having everything
expended for mere pecuniary returns.
And this is great advance. 1t emo
bles the pursuit of the farmer. Man is
,
and he who neglects to cultivate and
crafty this element in his nature, de-
grades himself. Any one may form a
pretty correct estimate of the intellec-
tual, if not the moral state of lis neigh
bors, by simply looking over their farms.
| The one who allows his buildings and
lands to lie in a slovenly state when he
has the means of improving them, may
be money-loving, but he will also be
a slovenly man with no elevating in
stincts.
1t is great mistake to suppose that
money spent in reasonably improving
the appearance of a place is thrown
away. 1t may be doubted whether there
is any more direct method of increasing
its pecuniary value. Certainly its market
value will depend very much upon its
outward appearance. Tasteful and we'll
painted buildings, well-arranged yards
and gardens with neat fences, shade

amazing difference when it comes tc

things will add amazingly to the enjoy.
ment of it by its possessor, if he be not
blind to everything but the dollar.
