On Sunday tidings reached
Winnsboro that Maj. G. d. Melton
was still lying very low, and but lit
tie hopo was entertained of his re-
covery. Maj. Melton has been in
delicate hoalth some time but re-
Gently he has had several hcmor-
rhages which have greatly reduced
him. We trust Major Melton will
yet recover.

aged, and is heard to exclaim, farming
don't pay when the fault is wholly in
his own management.
Having properly manured the soil,
which requires some effort in the max
ing and saving, let the amount of sur,
face to be cultivated, be properly divid.
ed and appropriated to the cultivation
of good variety of crops, such a-
would be reasonably remunerative.
These may consist of cotton, potatoes,
and other root crops, the grains and in
turn grasses for hay. In this way ro-
tation of crops can be instituted which
will not only avoid the old system OF
everlasting cotton cropping, but will,
by ahusbanding of fertilizing elements,
be very much less exhaustive to the
soil. If any one doubts the truth OF
this, let him for instance take three
pieces of an acre each, with duplicates,
and crop with corn, potatoes, and oats,
for three years.
In both eases the pieces shall receive
annually the same amount of manure;
in one case the crops shall rotate so
that in the course there shall be three
crops of each kind in the other, the
crops shall be continued the three years
upon the same place, and they will find
that the continuous crops will gradually
deteriorate, both in quality and quantity
from the rotated crops. 1t must be ad-
mittcd that getting rich by farming
must of necessity be very gradual, but
look the country through and compare
the average farmer with an average of
other kinds of business, or even OF the
professions, and he will occupy no
mean position.
The farmer should be as ready to
magnify his position and assert the dig
nifty and proftablencss of his calling as
loudly as those of other occupations,
and there would be much less croaking
against one of the most honorable oc-
equations that man was ever engaged
in, viz: that of cultivating the soil, and
producing those things necessary for
the maintenance of all created beings
alike, and without which our world
would soon be depopulated.
Then enter upon the cultivation of
the soil with determination to meet
with success, and may your highest ex-
pectations be more than realized.

Underground Rivers.

Forest and Stream editorially says:
1t has long been mooted question as
to what becomes of the surplus water
of Lake Konkonkom, in Suffolk coun-
ty, Long Island, and the stream which
flows past through the property of the
South Side Club is supposed to connect
by subterranean passage with the lake,
and to form its outlet. The recent dis
coveries at Garden City would indicate
a remarkable condition of the substrata
of the island, and if the report is cor
rect the presence of so many springs
eliminating in stout streams can be ac-
counted for.
Mr.. Hinsdale, who is in charge of
Mr.. Stewards improvements at Garden
City, has written letter to Professor
J. ID. Dana, of Massachusetts,, describing
the results which have followed the ex-
cavation of the gravel in the vicinity.
At point within threc-quarters of
mile of Hampstead, he says, they are
simply removing gravel from river,
which he describes as a sheet of water
flowing southerly in a continuous
stream, with descent of eight feet to
the mile. It's motion, of course, is
retarded by the gravel, but it is new
ertheless moving, and as unceasing in
its flow as the Hudson or the Mississippi.
In boring for artesian wells it is not
uncommon for the workers to come
upon such subterranean streams, and
when found between two stratas of clay
or rock, the water, finding no other
outlet, is forced through the pipe and
forms flowing well. But when the
stream is found flowing through gravel,
the loose soil permits the water to per-
colate through it without "heading,"
and hence can not he forced to the sur
face by means of its own pressure.
The popularity Of the Long Island
stream appears to be in its proximity
to the surface, although we have in
mind whole district Of country where
artesian wells are found at q depth Of
! one hundred feet

An Idyl Of the Moselle.

II was evening in the ancient town of
Trcr the Angclus was ringing down
from the great fortress, like Dom; the
little carts and stalls had vanished out
of the markct-place; and the carved
saints, clustered ON the fountain, smiled
hcnignly in the setting sun. Old wo-
men in strange head-drcsses, beads and
books in hand, passed in and out of st.
Gondolphus' curious gates; young girls,
with long, fair, plated hair, moved in
groups across the open space; brilliant
uniforms shone up on the balconies of
the Rothe Haus the shopkecpcrs in
the queer little peaked houses stood at
their doors and amused themselves; /;
while the awful black arches of the
Porta Nigra trowned more grimlv than
ever in the glowing light, and the gay
and quaint little frescoes at the street
corners seemed to blaze out with new
color at its touch. One particularly
high-pcakcd roof was suddenly covered
with flock of white pigeons alighting
to rest, and at the same moment face
appeared alta little open window among
the birds, looked up and down the
streets, and was withdrawn again.
The face belonged to young girl, and
the room into which she Withdrew was
pleasant and neat, if little bare. \
work table at the window showed that
il was the home of a seamstress; a lit
tie shrine hung in corner, with tiny
lamp burning; few rude pictures dee
Grated the walls. The girl was clothed
in holiday dress of dark-grecn stuff,
with white sleeves and apron, and wore
n scarlet flower in her breast. She had
a soft, sweet, innocent face, and her fair
hair hung behind in two long golden
braids from herncck TO her knees.
As she turned from the window, Il
curlv-haircd boy burst into the room.
II have n message for you, kres-
cenz. met Karl, and he told me to
tell YOU he could not see you tonight
He is suddenly sent on business
A look of disappointment clouded
the girls face but after few moments
of silence, she said;

so useful. But come, Max, you shall

THREE FRIENDS OF NINE.
BY nESGY wADswoRru LoxGfrLLow.

When remember those friends or mine,
who are no longer here, the noble three
Who half my life were more than friends
to me,
And whose discourse was like a generous
wine,
most all remember the divine
Something that shone in them, and made
us see
The archetypal man, and what might be
The amplitude Of Natures first design,
IN vain ! stretch my hands to clasp their
hands;
cannot find them. Nothing now is left
But majestic memory. They meanwhile
Wander together in Elysian lands
Perchancc remembering me, who am bcrcft
Or their dear presence, and, remembering,
smile.
In Attlca thy birthplace should have been,
Or the lonian Isles, or where the seas
Encircle in their arms the Cyclades,
30 wholly Greek was thou in thy serene
And childlike joy of life, Philhelenel
Around thee would have swarncd the At
tie bees;
Homer had been thy friend, or Socrates,
And Plato welcomed thee to his dcmesne
For the old legends breathed historic breath ;
Thou sawest Poseidon in the purple sea,
And the sunset Jason's fleece of gold
q, what hadSt thou to do with cruel Death,
Who was SO full of life, or Death with thee,
That thou shouldst die before thou hadst
grown old
stand again on the familiar shore,
And hear the waves of the distracted sea
PiicouSly calling and lamcntng thee,
NJ hN Il
The rocks, the sea weed on the ocean floor,
The willows in the meadow, and the free
Wild winds Of the Atlantic welcome me ;
Then why Shouldst thou be dead, and came
no mOrc2
Ali why shouldst thou be dead, when com
mon men
Are busy with their trivial affairs.
Having and holding? Why, when thou
hadSt read
Natures mysterious manuscript and then
Vast ready to reveal the truth il bears,
Why art thou silent: Why shouldst thou
be dead2
River that stealcst with such silent pace
Around the City of the Dead, where lies
friend who bore my name, and whom
these Eyes
Shall see no more in his accustomed place,
Iinscr and fold him in thy soft embrace,
And say good light, for now the western
skies
Are red with sunset, and gray msts arise
Like damps that gather ON dead mans
face,
Good night good night! as we so oft have
said
Beneath this roof az midnight, in days
That are no more and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone TO
bed;
stay little longer, as one STAYS
To cover up the embers that still burn.
The doors are all wide open; at the gate
The bloSSomed lilacs counterfeit blaze,
And seem to warm the air; dreamy haze
Hangs DER the Brighton meadow like a fate,
And DER their margin, with sen tides elatc,
The flooded Charles, Ne in the happier days,
Writes the last letter Of his name, and STAYS
Iii, restless steps, aS il compelled 10 wait.
also wait but they will come no more,
Those friends Of mine, whose presence sat
isthed
The thirst aud hunger Of my heart. Al me
They have forgotten the pathway to my door
Something is gone from nature since they
died.
Aud summer is not summer, nor can be.

Walter Savage LandOr.

james L. Fields writes: 1t was at
a breakfast in kenyon's house that |
first met Walter Savage Landor. As
! entered the room with Proctor, Ian
dor was in the midst of an eloquent
harangue on the high art of portrait
urc. Proctor had been lately sitting
to daguerreotypist for picture, and
Mrs. jameson, who was very fond of
the poet, had arranged the camera for
that occasion. Landor was holding the
picture in his hand, declaring that it
had never been surpassed as specimen
Of that particular art. The grand
looking author of ''Pericles of Aspa-
sia' was standing in the middle of the
room when we entered, and his voice
sounded like an explosion of first-class
artillery. Seeing Proctor enter, he
Immediately began to address him in
high-sounding Latin compliments
Poor modest Proctor pretended to stop
his ears that he might not listen to
Landor's eulogistic phrases. Kenyon
came to the rescue by declaring the
breakfast had been waiting for half an
hour. When we arrived at the table
Landor asked Proctor to join him on
an expedition into Spain which he was
then contemplating. "No," said Proc
ter, 'for | cannot even walk Spanish,
and having never crossed the Channel,
! do not intend to begin now." "Ncver
crossed the Channcl.' roared Landor !;
'never saw Napoleon Bonaparte!" He
then began TO tell us how the young
Corsican looked when he first saw him,
saying that he had the olive complexion
and roundness of face of Greek girl:
that the Consuls voice was deep and
melodious, but untruthful in tone.
While we were eating breakfast he
went on to describe his Italian travels
in early youth, telling us that he once
saw Shelley and Byron meet in the
doorway of hotel in Pisa. Landor
had lived in Italy many years, for he
detested the climate of his native coun-
try, and used to say, "One could only
live comfortably in England who was
rich enough to have solar system OF
his own" x Proctor told me
that when Landor got into a passion
his rage was sometimes uncomfortable
The fiery spirit knew his weakness, but
his anger quite overmastered him in
spite of himself "Keep your temper,
| Landor," somebody said to him one day
when he was raging. "That is just
what don't wish to keep" he cried;
Il wish to be rid of such an infamous,
ungovernable thing. | don't wish to
keep my temper" Whoever wishes To
get good look at Landor will not seek
for it alone in John Forster's interest.
ing life of the old man, admirable rs
it is, but will turn to Dickens Bleak
House for side-glances at the great au-
thor. In that vivid story Dickens has
made his friend Landor sit for the por-
trait of Lawrence Boythorn. The very
laugh that made the whole house vi
brate, the roundness and fullness of
voice, the fury of superlatives, are all
