\ careful examination of some extern

;entenanL Ward was the first explorer
who came upon the remains of a once i'm

laserfed perhaps for more than a thousand
,o,rs and has been crumbling away in
ihe wilderness. The principal ruin is
n,rcIlelopram fortiticatiOn, 600 feet in
width bv 1900 feet in length. The walls,
which were built of stone. have long been
ovcrthrown, and are overgrown by trees
and vines. In many places mere ridge

having disappeared beneath the surface.
Within the inclosed area are the remains
of GREAT structure 200 by 260 feet, con-
structed of roughly hewn stones. In some
nlaccs the walls remain almost perfect to

STRANGE ADVENTURE IN A SWING
The Reading pa. Eagie gives an account
of "A frightful adventure of a young lady
while swinging at a picnic few days
since. She EXPIRE sed a wish to swing IS
high as possible, and was enjoying the
sport greatly. when all at once. as she
rose to the height of fully thirty-fvc feet,
her courage gave way and she tainted.
The momentum of the swing tossed her
apparently lifeless body into tree which
stood thirty-eight feet from the tree to
which the swing was attached. By some
fortunate chance she was safely lodged
between two branches and there remained
until the gentlemen were able to rescue
her from her unpleasant position. Two
of the gentlemen assembled the tree, passed
a rope arround her body, and lowered her
to the ground in safety.

A correspondent in Georgia writes about
the watermelon crop, saying: Parties
who are posted tell me that fair average
Weld is one thousand melons to the acre.
These sell at wholesale at twenty-five
cents. which makes. you see, two hundred
and fifty dollars. This beats cotton or any
other crop raised in this state, as there is
so little expense attending it. Cotton and
corn look poorly down here. and will not
produce over one-third crop. Fruit of all
kinds is abundant and cheap.

SONG OF THE FLAH..


In the autumn, when the hollows
All are filed with flying leaves,
And the colonies of swallows
Quit the quantity succeed caves.
And silver mantle glistens
Over all the misty vale,
Sits the little wife and listens
To the beating of the fail,
To the pounding of the fail
by her candle sits AMI listens
To the Tapping of the fla |.
The bright summer days are over,
And her eyes no longer sees
The red bloom upon the clover,
The deep green upon the trees,
flushed the songs of finch and robin,
With the whistle of the quail;
But she hears the mellow thro1bng
OF the thunder of the fiail,
The low thunder of the fail
Through the amber air the throbbing
And reverberating fail.
In the barn the stout young thfesher
STOPPING stands with rolled-up sleeves,
Beating out his golden treasure
From the ripped and rustling sheaves:
Oh was ever Knight in armor-
Warrior all in shining mail
Half so handsome rs her farmer
AS he plies the dying tlai,
As he WELLS the htshing fllil?-
The bare-hroatcd, brown young farmer.
AS he swings the sounding fail?
All the hopes that saw the sowing,
All the sweet desire of gain,
All the joy that watch ID the growing
And tue yell0wing of the grain,
And the love that went to WOO her,
And the flIth that shall not fail
All are speaking softly to her
In the pulses Of the fail,
OF the palpliating fall
Past and Future whisper TO her
In the music of the fllil.
IN its crib their babe is sleeping,
And the sunshine from the door
All the afternoon is creeping
Slowly round ui.on the floor;
And The shadows soon Will duken,
And the daylight soon must pale,
When the wifi: no m Jre shall hearken
To the trampins OF the fail,
To the dancing of the fail
When her heart no more shall he lrken
To the football Of the fail.
And the babe shall grow and strengthen,
lie maiden, be wife.
While the moving shadows lengthen,
Round the dial of their life;
Theirs the trust of friend and neighbor,
And an age serene and hale,
When machines shall do the labor
OF the strong arm and the fail,
OF the stout heart and the fail
Great machines perform the labor
OF the good Old fashioned iai.
But when, blessed among women,
And whe1. honorcd among men,
They look round them, can the brimming
OF their utmost wishes then
Give them happiness completer:
And can ease and wealth avail
Tomake any music sweeter
Than the pounding of the fail?
Oh, the sounding of the halli
Never music can be sweeter
Than the music of the haiii

desired to rsgal ding it, II isproposed by
tho German School association to make
some important changes and repairs on
their school building, but in order to do
so they will have to ask the assistance of
our business men aud the public gener-
ally. The contemplated repairs will ne
css'itate tho expenditure OF n considerable
sum OF money-probably several thousand

hope to raise by subscription. The German
