one 81 the wittiest, merriest ana
most entertaining OF writer's on the
subject of angling was n "brother'
called Penn-not much known to fame,
but undisputed authority among the
glens where he ruled "king o. fishers
and vale o. guild men, He says:
First-Find out if there is any fish
in the river to which you are going; if
so, get scule one who knows the water
to show you where the fish lie; and
when he shows them to you, don't you
show yourself to them.
,Second-Don't imagine, if the fish
does not dart away, that he has not
seen you; Oh the contrary, he is very
likely devoting his whole attention %
you, and preparing to start the moment
danger is imminent.
Third If you are fishing with d ny,
and you pass it neatly three times over
him, and he refuses it, you need not
wait any longer; he has seen your line
of invitation, and does not intend to
come.
Fourth-If you are above fish when
you hook him, get below him as soon
as you can, for if you pull him one in
slant against the stream, and he Is a
heavy fish, he will break his hold.
Fifth - Never throw long line
when short one will answer.
Sixth - Never mind what is said
about "playing your fish until he is
tired" put him in your basket as soon
as you can.
Seventh Remember that everything
depends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. Ifyou can prevail upon
fish to go down the stream little
way with you, you will afterward have
no difficulty in persuading him to let
you have the pleasure Of seeing him
to dinner.
TO these excellent maXims l beg
leave to add one of Mr.. Stoddarts eS-
peeially intended for bachelors, young
and old: "Never fall in love with a
woman by the waterside; there are sit
uations in which every woman looks
an angel"
In conclusion, hope all true broth
crs eff the angle may never lack, in Its
season, that dish of trout which good
old Izaak says is "too good for any but
anglers, OF very honest men."--lHhris-
tian Union.

reckessness. N,
Explanatory and Suggestive.
To rHR EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
visited pier No. 1, North River, the morning
after the accident, to observe the amount OF
damage done by tho City OF Limerick, and perhaps
some notes made at the time may be OF general
interest. The amount OF injury done to the granite
blocks composing the pier was very slight.
small piece was Clipped or from the stone In the
upper course that was struck by the steamer, and
the corresponding stone In lower course was
somewhat crushed, not having moved from its
position. Taking the dock as o whole, however,
the havoc was extensive For distance OF about
seventy-hve feet up the per and some twenty-five
feet in the other direction the blocks Of all
the courses, as far down as l. could see,
were thrown out Of position-being turned this
way and that-the effect produced having been the
same as II wedge had been driven through the
place OF collision and had separated all the blocks
IL appears to me as il this Indicated faulty con-
struction. The idea OF joining the different DOCKS
with cement Is TO form the pier into q contlnuous
entire structure will move or resist, as the case
may be. 1t was long since discovered that mere
union by cement was not sufficiently strong, and
that to make the joints rs strong as the blocks
themselves 1t WAS necessary TO anchor them
together BY iron straps II has 6eea sta.e% sMs%
the Liverpool docks. This ls mistake. The blocks
used in the docks at Liverpool are anchored to-
gether, as described above; two iron straps being
used at each joint, so that all the separate blocks
constitute one continuous mass. The efect or
collision between o vessel and such dock would
probably be severe upon the vessel and, at the
most would probably only crush hole In the dock.
1t Is fortunate In a certain sense, that this acct
dent has occurred before large amount OF our
new water front Ia completed. Lessons learned by
experience are generally costly but they are also
thorough. Respectfully,

A Martyr to Science.

When, only few weeks ago, the chol-
era was raging i'll the slums of Berlin, a
young physician, scarcely past his Both
year, made himself remarkable by the
boldness and persistency with which he
entered the infected quarter, and the ap-
parent recklessness with which he exposed
himself to the contagion. 1t is worth
while that his name should be recorded
and well remembered it was Otto Ober-
meir. He had another object besides that
of relieving, and, if possible, curing the
poor creatures whom he visited. He pro-
posed to himself to investigate, in the
presence of the living pestilence itself,
its causes and its development. At last,
the brave young soul thought he had dis
covered the clue; and, with heroism as
far above the heroism of the battlefield
as it is nobler to sacrifice ones self to
save men than to destroy them, he re-
solved to test his discovery upon himself.
1t was an awful experiment; Obermeir
knew full we'll that he staked his life
against the hope of conquering the chol-
era. Obtaining from one OF his patients
some of the deadly choleraic germ, he
went deliberately to his room, placed a

"Git Ep.'

WE all know what intelligent people
we Americans are-how we love progress
and despise old customs, having no other
reason for their existence than habit.
Still, whenever | hear a man or a woman
say "git ep' to a respectable horse, | Won
der where the expression came from, how
it happens that intelligent people use it,
and how much longer it will be used.
The horse, by long practice, attaches a
meaning to it, and obeys; and so he would
had he been taught to start at a grunt by
the driver, or a whistle, or any other
sound that might be fixed upon. When
a man tells his horse to ego long" or
"go on" he is using plain but respectable
English, and violates no good TASTE but
when he says "git ep," l am forced to
conclude that he uses the phrase entirely
from the force of habit, and not because
it can possibly commend itself to his good
judgment. He would probably object to
"g'lang" as being a little slangy, but
slangy or not, it is nearer the correct
thing than the ancient and illiterate and
unreasonable "git ep'' ever can be. Is it
not time to start a reform in this matter?
| advise people of good taste to abjure
the expression, and say hereafter, ego
long. Country Gentleman.

E ONLY A FARMER'S DAUGHTER.
BY MRS. Z X. SMITH.

BY MRS. r. SMITH.
. She is only farmers daughter"
A stylish lady said,
With a sCOrnful glance of her handsome eyes,
And toss of her naughty head.
She is jeweled and founced and furbelowed
In the very latest style;
Her hair il a wonder OF crlmps and curs,
And her train measures less than a mile.
Her hands that sparkle with many ring,
Are fair as the lily in hue,
They play the piano with wonderful grace
IT'S the only work they do!
Should you hear her talk of the 'slower class
OF their Ignorance OF proprlety,
OF /" her family and of country girls
And her horror Of mixed society"
You'd suppose that among her ancestors
She 6oseted a duke or an earl
Her father was only carpenter,
And her mother factory girl
They call her brilliant and beautiful,
Nor do her charms deny;
But the farmers daughter she scorns in her
pride
Is fairer by far to my eye.
Though rot in the hei1ht of fashion,
She is very beCoIningly dressed,
With founces enough for comfort
And they look as if made of the best
Inc roses ana lllle4 upon ner Cncek
BY Nature are warranted pure
She never bought them at Z" Hinsdale's,'
Neither at " Hurd 81 | am sure
Mirth and innocent happiness
Out of her blue eyes shine;
Her hair is nntortured by Crimp or by curl5,
And she wears it by right divine.
Though her fingers can skillfully touch the
keys,
They can wash the dishes as well;
And her voice, singing blithely, at work or at
play,
Charms all with its musical spell.
No mother tolls in the kitchen for her,
While she the sofa Tolls,
Novel in hand, or, dressed i'll her best,
Is receiving her morning calls
But a share in the heat and the burden Of life
She willingly, cheerfully takes;
And dutiful love, in her happy home,
pleasure Of labor makes.
OF the wisdom and knowledge, whose gift is
power,
She has more than an average share:
And daily some lesson from mature she learns,
AT her school in the open arr
For, smile though you may at this curious fact,
| have seen her with hoe in her hand,
While she helped to plant corn, or waged war
on the weeds,
When the mems help was scarce in the land.
And her fowers-well, next summer you'll see
them yourself,
As you ride past the farm on the prairie,
And mark the house blooming with roses and
vines
The work of this Martha or Mary.
And there should you linger, some question to
ask,
By some pretext of business excused,
You may safely rely on answer polite,
Though you have not been yet introduced.
Aud, unlike the fair dame whom quoted at
first,
From her words you'll her meaning dstin-
guish;
For she says what she means, in q womanly
way,
Nor murders the Presidents English.
And think you will own, spite the verdict of
those
Who live but in fashions gay whirl,
That $ only farmers daughter means
only a sensible girl

Smoking Plants.

IT Is quite practicable to smoke plants
both indoors and out, by using a light
frame covered with glazed cloth, or other
reasonably smoke proof material This is
made large enough to put bodily over the
bush. The nozzle Of the smoke bellows
may then be introduced through suita-
bic aperture, and in few minutes, or sec
onds, the smoke inside will be almost
thick enough to cut with knife. In con-
nection with this subject we notice that a
Floridan planter claims to have discov-
cred that violent conclusion caused by the
explosion of gunpowder or otherwise, is a
perfect annihilator of insect life-the
smaller species at least-within a certain
range, and that this agency can be SO
utilized as to completely rid our orchards
OF curculios, and our fields and gardens of
other pests; and what is more wonderful
still that the same agency promotes vege-
tation to such an extent as to throw all
our fertilizers into the shade. May we
not, then, expect to see the time when the
farmer will, besides his portable steam
engine, keep battery of light artillery
which will serve at once to destroy and
create? 1t is at least satisfactory to re-
fleet that when that time comes cannon
OF all sorts will be cheap.-Christiau

table with pencil and paper at his bed
side, lay calmly down upon the bed, open
ed vein in his arm, and inserted the
deadly poison He thought he had dis
covered how to neutralize it; If SO, man
was master of the pestilence for ever
more But he was wrong, ana the error
was fatal. He lived seven hours, and then
died; but, during those seven dying hours,
the young hero observed, with scientific
exactness, the effects and progress OF the
disease upon him, and one after another
he noted his observations down, until
within the very halfhour when the spirit
left the body These notes are pronounced
to have the highest value, and Will serve
the Commission with new facts of the first
Importance; and SO the dying legacy of
Otto Obermeir may, after ali, lead to the
victory which he condemned himself to
selfdestruction in trying to achieve.-Ap-

Shooting A CAMEL.-The camel is large
ly used in Chinese Tartary as beast of
burden, and whenever the feet of the ami
NAL becomes tender and sore from long
marches, the poor creature lies down. His
driver knows at once that his feet hurt
him., and looks to find out if the thick
skin of the feet is blistered Whenever a
blister is found, two or three strong men.
usually Mongols, watch the camel until
it is not noticing. At just the right time
they make a rush all together upon the
camel, throw it over upon its side ana
make it fast. Then, with needle made
for the purpose, they sew square piece of
leather, large enough to cover the hurt
place, over the camel's foot, the skin of
which is thick enough to sew through
without hurting the animal With his
new shoes on, the animal is quite ready
to get up and march on The pieces of
leather are very carefully prepared for the
object in view.

THERE Is NO DEATH-If it be true
that Nature abhors vacuum, it is equally
true that the Great Creator abhors deah
and glories in life There is really no
such thing as death-the term is misno-
mer. used to designate the changes which
occur in life. Life, eternal life, is created
by the laws of Almighty will-power,
which are as immutabe in their applica-
ton as is the existence of the Creator
Himself When God made life, He made
everything necessary to sustain it, but
left it for mans progressive intelligence
to discover, convert and utilize. Good
medicine is to the ailing physique what
good fuel is to the expiring flame; the
better the fuel the quicker the tire-the
better the medicine, the quicker comes
relief from pain CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs is life's elixir for old or
young Use this medicine properly and
you will live to good old age without
those physical ailments which make
seventy years a burden. 10

A sad case of young married couple
stricken down with typhoid fever is re-
lated at Boston. The wife was first at
tackled, and in caring for her the husband
contracted the disease and soon died. The
news was kept from the wife, who seemed
to be recovering. One day she asked why
her husband did not come to see her ana,
on some excuse being given, she sald /
know why he does not come; he IS deau:
From that time she sank rapidly, anu,
although everything was done that mor'ai
skill could do, she soon passed away.
