Moments Of Melody.

remember once, says HazGtt, stroll
ing along the margin Of a stream, in
one of those low, sheltered valleys on
Salisbury Plain, where the monks Of
former ages planted chapels and built
hermits' cells. There was a little par
ish church near, but tall elms and qui-
Yering alders hid it from the sight,
when, all on a sudden, I was startled by
the sound Of the full organ pealing on
the ear, accompanied by rustic voices,
and The willing choir of village maids
and children. 1t rose, indeed, like an
exhaIatiOn of rich distilled perfumes"
The dews from a thousand pastures
were gathered in its sOftRess; the sill
ence of thousand years spoke in it.
1t came upon the heart like the calm
beauty Of death; fancy caught the
sound, and faith mounted on it to the
skies. It filed the valley like mist,
and still poured out its endless chant,
and still it swells upon the ear, and
wraps me in a golden trance, drowning
the noisy tumuIt OF the world.

Live Stock in ohio-lszs.

The Auditor Of State has prepared
a table of returns of the number Of
horses, cattle, mules, sheep, and
hogs IN Ohio, as given in by the As
SCISSORS last spring. The totals as
compared with last year Of live stock
in the State, are as follows: Horses
in 1877, TAI, PSI in 1873, 10000;
cattle in 1877, 148,5,O76: IN 1878,
/, ,568, ,87S; mules In 1877, 27,222; in
1878, q, 7,3O4; sheep in 1877, 3,724O40;
in 1878, 3,9O9,6O4; hogs in 1877,
2139,9O1; in 1873, 2,341,411 It
will be seen that while there has
been a small decrease in the number
of horses, the number of other do
nestle animals has increased in all
other classes, having the greatest
increase in hogs, of which there we're
over 100000 more in the State last
spring than the year before.

EtymOlogy Of MfstIetOe.

Authors may differ as to the etymOi-
Ogy Of mistletoe, but it appears to me,
says a writer in Chambers Journal,
that our common English home has no
very recOndite origin. MistiOn is an
absolute old English word, used, how
ever, as late as in the writings Of Boyle,
and this is defined in Or. JOhnson's
original folio edition Of his dictionary
as the state of being miGgled. Now
this is truly the condition OF our plant,
which is intermingled with the foliage
Of other trees, and mixes up their juices
with its own, and is, indeed. in rural
places still simply called the mistle. If
to this we add the old English tod or
toe, signifying bush, we have at once
the derivation, meaning the mingled
bush, mixed up and growing among
foliage dissimiIar to its own. Still, in
winter its stiff and leathery evergreen
leaves and dense bushy aspect give it
visible position Oh It's own account, and
thus the epIthet OF Jljgore r'scorn given
it by Virgil is pecuIiarlyappucable. 1t
is certainly remarkable that the hang
ing up of mistletOe in houses for mirlh-
full purposes and emblematical of
Christmas should so long endure that
the midland towns have their markets
filled with it as Christmas approaches,
and loads of it find a ready sale in the
north of England and Scotland, where
the plant is rarity, if found at all.

A Romantic Murder.

The novelist who is looking for the
plot of first-class sensational story will
find in the history of romance in real
life parallel to which can scarcely be
found outside the pages of fiction. That
it should have occurred in this evening
of century of railroads and telegraph
lines and newspapers is, perhaps, the
most singular OF the whole affair. The
scene is laid in Pickens county, Georgia
First we have the pretty, popular, impet-
uous daughter of respectable citizen
running the usual career Of country
belle, winding up, as it properly should,
in matrimony to young fellow Of her
own class, upon whom the bonds of wed
lock appear to have hung very lightly
During the Christmas season of 1877 his
attentions to lady so enraged the young
wife that she stabbed her to death in a
country ball room. Around the wife,
thus become murderess, the husband,
his father and brethren formed body
guard and fought their way out of the
building where the tragedy was enacted.
With a loyalty and devotion to the guilty
WOuiuu Iuicly Whntsscu III tncsc pIoSalC
days, they resolved that she should not
be surrendered to the officers of the law,
aud in a few days, armed and equipped,
they moved from Pickens county, no one
daring to oppose their progress. In a
short time they disappeared, and the sad
event was gradually dying out of the
memories of all save the friends Of the
murdered woman.
Recently, however, the fugitives were
heard from in North Carolina, and u
party was organized to effect their cap
ture. A long chase, desperate resist
ance, an attempted rescue, and two prison
cells for husband and wife and baby
child are thus far the completed chapters
of this Georgia romance. A casei in which
so many of the darker as well as the bet
ter qualities of human nature are 80 curl
ousIy blended seldom finds its way into
the news columns of the daily journals.

Don PIArT, in his paper, expresses
himself as decidedly opposed to the use
of the pistol and knife, as in Princeton
College, in carrying oa the custom Of
"hazing." Head punching with the fist,
as enacted in English Colleges, he ad-
mires. 1t is healthy and manly; it is
good exercise, stimulates the circulation,
regulates the digestion, and develops
good manners. Donn is queer boy,
