The following little story, with its moral, though
written for the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, is quite too
good be enjoyed by the farmers Of the South aone
/ knew a man, and he lived in Jones'
Which Jones is county of red hills and stones,
And he lived pretty much by getting of loans,
And his mules were nothing but skin and bones,
And his hogs were as fiat as his corn-bread pones,
And he had bout thousand acres Of land.
This man-and his name it was also Jones'
He swore that he'd leave them old red hills and stones
For he couldn't make nothn but yelowish cotton
And little Of that, and his fences were rotten,
And what little corn he had, that was boughten,
And he couldn't get living from the land.
And the longer he swore the madder he got
And he rose and he walked to the stable lot,
And he hallooed to Tom to come there and hitch,
For to emigrate somewhere where land was rich,
And to quit raising cock-burs, thistles and sich,
And wasting their time on barren land.
So him and Tom they hitched up the mules,
Protesting that folks were mighty big fools
That I'D stay in Georgia their lifetime out,
Just scratching living, when all of them mought
Get places in Texas, where cotton would sprout
BY the time you could plant it in the land.
And he drove by a house where man named Brown
Was living, not far from the edge of the town,
And he bantered Brown for to buy his place,
a nd said that seeing as money skace,
And seeing as sheri6s were hard to face
Two dollars an acre would get the land.
They closed at dollar and fifty cents,
md Jones he bought him wagon and tents
And loaded his corn, and his women and truck,
And moved to Texas which it took
His entire pile, with the best of luck
To get there and get him little land
But Brown moved ant on the oil lanes farm
md escke! all the rocks from of'n the ground,
and ne rooted it up and plowed it down,
And sowed his and wheat in the land
Five years gd by, and Brown, one day
tWho had got SO fat that he wouldn't weigh)
Was sitting down, sorter azily,
To the grandest dinner you ever did see,
When one of the children jumped on his knee
And says, "Yans Jones, which you bought his land"
And there was Jones, standing out at the fence
And he hadn't no wagon nor mules, nor tents,
For he had left Texas afoot, and come
To Georgia to see if he couldn't get some
Employment, and he looking as hum
Bic as if he had never owned any land.
But Brown he asked him in and he sot
Him down to his victuals smoking hot,
And when he had filled himself and the floor,
Brown looked at him sharp and and swore,
That 'whether mems land was rich or poor,
There was more in the man than there was in the land

THE GAYS AT DELAWARE GAP-"BLow, YE
WISDY MOUNTAIN, Blow, BLOW, BLOW l"-NA-
TURE's REFRIGERAToR.-Two or three years ago a
Mr.. Frear bought loo acres OF land on the Kitta-
linny Mountain, near Delaware Gap, New York.
One day last summer Mr.. Frear, while cutting
wood on the mountain, discovered near the base
a wall ten or twelve feet high laid up against a
perpendicular preeipice o. apparently solid rock
lie took down a portion OF the wall, and came TO
an opening in the rock large enough to permit
the passage Of his body. The instant the OPEN
ing was uncovered strong current Of air escaped.
Il was so cold that Mr.. Frear was in a very short
time chilled through aud through.
Determined TO explore this singular cavern,
Mr. Frear entered the opening. He found him
self in large chamber, the walls being of rough
and Jagged rocks. The cold was so intense that
he could not explore the cave further than fifty
feet. Since then no person has penetrated fur
ther than sixty feet under the mountain. The
draft of air is so strong at the mouth that trees
thirty yards distant are kept in constant motion.
One can stand but few minutes in the mouth.
thermometer standing at 80 degrees above zero
will in a short time fall to 30 in the current
piece Of pure lead, gun barrel, and a col
lection of bones were found by Mr.. Frear in the
cavern. He threw the bones in the river before
ascertaining whether they were human remains
or not.
A dog accompanied him on his first exploring
tour. The dog logged on into the cave. Since
then it has never been seen.
Hundreds of people have visited this remarka-
BILE cavern and witnessed the mysterious phenom-
enon of the cold current of air. No satisfactory
explanation has as yet been given as to its cause
There are q number Of crevices in the rocks near
the opening from which the cold air also issues.
Mr.. Frear erected temporary platform in front
of the cave A person standing ON this five
minutes would experience a sensation of almost
complete numbness. 1t was the owners inten'
tion to excavate passageway and erect build
ing over it for the accommodation of inquiring
visitors. He was killed on a railroad however,
before his project was carried out. The cave is
considered one of the greatest curiosities of the
d.-E1change.

CULTIvArISG Pure ExPREssIoS.-Every word
that falls from the lips Of mothers and sisters es-
pecially should be pure aud concise, and simple !;
cot pearls such as fall from the lips of the prin-
cess, but sweet, good words that little children
can gather without fears of soil, or after shame,
or blame, or any regrets to pain through all their
life.
Children should be taught the frequent use of
good, strong, expressive words-words that
mean exactly what they should express in their
proper places.
If child, or young person, has loose, flung
together way of striuging words when endeavor-
ing to say something, he should be made to ''try
again." and see if he cannot do better.
1t is painful to listen to many girls talk
They begin with "My goodness l'' and inter-
lard it with "oh'sp' and ''sakes alive" and
80 sweet p' and $50 queenly," and so many
phrases that one is tempted to believe they have
had no training at all, or else their mothers were
very foolish women. There is nothing more dis
eusting than the twaddle of ill-bred girls one
is provoked often into taking paper and read
ing, and letting them ripple and gurgle on, like
brooks that flow they know not whittier.
My heart warns with love for sensible girls
and pure boys and, after all, if our girls and
boys are not this, fear it is our own fault-that
this great trust rests in heart and hands of the
women of our land If we bave a noble, useful
purpose in life, we shall infuse the right spirit
into those around us.-Arthur's Home Magazine.

QUAKER MEETISG.-"Amethyst," who has
often contributed sparkling gems of thought to
the st. Louis Globe, gives us the following pen
sketch of Quaker meeting:
Ponce de Leon sought long and vainly for
the fountain of youth, and died without the
sight. How would he expect to find the foun-
tain of youth in Florida, where the hot pulse
of tropical life beats away so fast, and death
turks in the everglades?
If his geographical faith had led him up the
coast till he found the peaceful valleys of the
middle Atlantic slope he might have met with
better success.
What the eager Spaniard missed so utterly
the placid Quaker came much nearer finding.
If the fountain of youth exists anywhere in
this weary world of ours it must be in Quak-
er meeting house. How else is it that year at
in the silence of the meeting-houses do not
gather new lines of care and shadows of age 7?
They grow old they do not grow older
The outlines of youth fall away little; but
what they lose in contour and color is made up
to them in expression. That, after all, is the
highest beauty that grows higher and higher
till the coffin lid, closing down over its last and
sweetest smile, makes of it ga thing of beauty
and a joy forever"
They keep the red in their cheeks and the
blue in their eyes long after the "world's peo-
pie" (feminine) have begun to rouge. Weary
women of the world worry themselves into their
graves, while these clear -browed Quaker women
come up week after week, to "meeting" with
something in their faces that makes you think
of the "peace that passeth understanding"

FEED FROM AN AcRE.-A pair of farm horses
will consume in year 69 tons Of hay and 270
bushels of oats, their daily ration being l8 pounds
of hay and IL pounds of oats for each. 1t will
take "A to l6 acres of average land to raise this
amount of fodder. A COW will consume l8
pounds of hay and 8 pounds of corn meal daily,
equal to 81 tons of hay and 40 bushels of corn,
allowing for toll for grinding it, per year. This
will require about acres Of average land. One
acre of good corn land will produce enough grain
and stalks to keep COW during year. This
estimate, which is from practice, accords with
statistics gathered elsewhere, which prove that
eight acres of land are needed to support horse
during year in Belgium and Holand-countries
which, as regards the supply of food, are self
sustaining. There would be no practical differ
ence between the crops mentioned and others
that might be chosen, for the reason that more
prolific crops require greater amount to be con-
sumed to yield an equal sustenance, with less
prolific but more nutricious crops. The most
economical single crop to raise for feeding ami.
mails is corn, when the whole stalks are well
cured and properly used.-N. Y Tribune.
