SPRING.

SPSHNG.
Welcome, once more, thou season fair,
Thy light and dew
Make all things new.
And wake to joy the heart of care
The skylark's song, the cloudess blue,
sweet breath of flowers,
The hottest hours
Oi life, to memory We renew
And many joy by sorrow torn,
OF the bright past
That might not last.
MID thy daylights appears newborn.
IL may be that some hopes have failed,
That scared and dead,
These, like leaves shed,
by tlme and sorrow, have been palcd.
But numerous as the morning wave,
Dancing in light,
All beauteous bright,
VI gistening gems in crystal caves
Are the sweet blessings that remain.
Yes, like to flowers
In summer hours,
ihese, these are sweet, and free from stain!
And he who sees for him secure,
Above the skies
A paradise,
Which through all ages shall endure,
welcomes most rapturously the spring
1t speaks of flowers,
And fragrant bowers,
vi richer notes than angels sing,
-AiiN JULIUS ClOuuiCSS anu ulNlne.
Ofsuch spring
He well may sing,
Its sun it never knows decline
summer and autumn both may dawn,
And winter chill,
On earth DO still,
But there is one eternal morn
THE KNOT OF Blue AND GRAY.
Upon my bosom lies
\ knot of blue and gray;
You ask me why. Tears fill my eyes
AS low to you | say:
had two brothers once
Warm. hearted bold and CAV;
They left my slde-one wore the blue.
The other wore the gray,
One rode with Stonewall and his men,
And joined his fate to Lee;
The other followed Sherman's march
Triumphant TO the sea.
Both fought for what they deemed the rich
And died with sword in hand;
One sleeps amid Virginia hills,
And one in Georgia's sand
The same sun shines upon their graygs-
My love unchanged must stay:
And so upon my bosom lies,
The Knot OF blue and gray

IMITATION OF WALNUT.-The following
is said to be very superior method for
staining any kind of wood in imitation of
walnut, while it is also cheap, and simple
in its manipulation. The wood, previous
ly thoroughly dried and warmed. is coat
ed once or twice with stain composed of
part, by weight, of extract of walnut
peel dissolved in parts of soft water by
heating it to boiling, and stirring. The
wood thus treated, when half dry, is brush
ed with a solution of part, by weight, of
bichromate Of potash in parts of boiling
water, and is then allowed to dry thorough
ly, and is to be rubbed and polished as
usual. Red beech and alder, under this
treatment, assume most deceptive resem-
blance to American walnut. The color is
fixed in the wood to a depth of one or two
lines,

A UNIQUE NEWSPAPER Dun. - The
sprightly local editor If the Shenandoah
Democrat furnishes the following illustra-
ton of how dun may he done:
"As the report that we ure very wealthy
seems to have gone abroad among our sub
scribers, and has made them awful slow
about paying up, thinking doubtless we
don't need the money, we hasten to say
that the report of our wealth is entirely
false in every particular. IfOcean Steam
ers were selling for cent dozen we
couldn't make the frs, payment on ca
noe. The lightning Of poverty has struck
us square in the rear, and had it not been
for an armful of hay our devil managed to
steal from blind mule, our large and in
teresting family would he without mouth
tul to eat at this moment. Is not this q
sad, sad picture, and Gun you, delinquent
subscribers, look upon it without feeling
the grccnbacks rustic with indignation in
your pocket-books 2 We do not like to
dun you, but We must ifyou fail TO take
this gentle hint"

The influences of civilization in the Fiji
Islands do not seem to be benefcent in their
physical manifestations. The distemper that
came upon the Fijians after British dominion
first extended over the islands has produced
the most serious consequences, as the death
rate of 10000 month for the last four
months shows. The scourge assumed the
form of plague, Tor which the prevalence of
the measles afforded the foundation. All work
was suspended for two months during the
worst OF it, the streets of the towns were COM
pletely covered with grass, and many persons
died OF starvation. there being SO few to per-
form the service of providing and nursing.
In enc village all the women died; in an
other all the men. All were tumbled indis-
criminately into graves made in the first spots
that could be found large enough to receive
the bodies. The stronger ones attempted
suicide; those who had embraced the Chris
tian faith, thinking the disease conveyed by
their teachers, abandoned their new religion,
and some were in favor of killing their teach
ers. Even under ordinary conditions the
population of FIJI has bsen diminishing, and
probably half of what was left has been swept
away. If England values her new subjects
the islands have proved poor investment,
for at the present rate they will soon be
nothing but grand cemetery. Extermina-
ton seems to work better than among the
American Indians.

The wages paid in the Pacific States and
the Territories are excluded in the computa-
ton of these figures. They are considerably
higher, in gold, than these are in paper, but,
except in California, the increased cost of
living probably consumes the whole margin
Of difference. If we now exclude the agri-
cultural laborers and the domestic servants,
and then calculate the average Wages of
skilled workingmen living between tpe sea-
board and the sagebrush plains, we find it to
be So 20 day. Very few of the trades
represented in this calculation can be exer-
cised throughout the year.
The weather lays a veto on most of them
during at least two or three months of each
twelve. 1t would be unfair, then, to multi
ply So 20 by the number Of days in the year,
less Sundays and holidays, and assume that
the result was the amount earned by the
average skilled workingman. He probably
considers himself fortunate when he gets
chance to earn wages during 275 days of each
year. If he did this, his annual income
would be $742 So This is certainly small
enough, even If he has no one besides him.
self to support.
But "children are the Injuries of the poor"
and the chances are thatsour workingman has
his share. His struggle with life is necessari-
" hard one. 1t should certainly not be
be made harder by law. And yet it is. If

be forced to pay a tax or bonus Of so per cent
on nearly everything he bought, the attempt
to enforce the degree would lead to a re-
volution. And yet this precise thing
is indirectly done. The effect Of our high
tariff is to increase the cost of all protected
articles to the consumer by about so per cent
If foreign article is bought, the so per cent.
levy is tax collected by the Government
when home product is bought, the SO per
cent is a bonus extorted for the manufacturer.
In either event, the working man pays it.
The tariff thus scales his wages down to
S4S5 a year, since this sum would buy,
under free trade, all that S742 so will exchange

LEG BROKE. A. P. Hornick
foreman of tho Fulton Foundry,
on the Divide, while driving in a
buggy along the American Flat

Both were uninjured. Mr.. Hornick

truded through the flesh Of the
