VaiedictOry of an Editor with
Bullet i'm His Brain.

The following curious Announce
ment was made in the Independ-

by lands. The article is headed
"Adios" (adieu); but no one will
venture to assert that, potwith-
standing the presence of lead so
near the vital region. it is loaded
with melancholy :
with this issue we step down
and out from the editorship and
prnprietorslip Of The Vineland In
dependent. We commend the new
proprietor to our patrons aud
friends, and hope and trust that
under his management the paper
will give. increased satisfaction to
its renders. This sudden sunder-
ing of our connection with news
paperlom will surprise, and doubt
less disgust, many of our friends,
but there was no alternative. Two
months constant wrestle with q
hostile bullet in our brain has con-
yinced us that we lack The capacity
to develop a lead mine and publish

paired eyesiglt. shattered nerves
and pn'saiing brain admopish us
that for the coming year we must
not stray too far from the hospital.

this perhaps last free opportunity
to thank our editorial brethren,
who in their kindness OF heart have
hattered our abilities. extolled our
virtuesand whitewashed our faults,
The "cayoteS" of the craft who,
taking advantage Of our helpless
ness, have attempted to redeem

An interesting paper appeared
not long since in The English Agri-
cultural Gnzettc, on the color of
animals, and It's relation to their
health or hardness. The nature
of the food or surrounding earth
appears to exert m influence on
the color both of animals and
plants. Alum directly influences
the color of the flowers OF the by
draDgen, and hempseed causes
bullinches aud certain other birds
to grow black. The natives OF the
Amazonian region feed the COM
mon green parrot with the fat of
large siluroid fishes. and the birds
thus treated become beautifully
variegated with red and yellow
feathers. Young oyster shells ta-
ken from the shores of England
and placed in the Mediterranean
at once alter their manner of
growth. and form prominent di-
yerging rays like those.on the shells
of the Mediterranean oyster.

The Printers Toll.

Blow We stormy winds of winter,
Drive theSchilly. drifting snow,
Closely housed. the busy printer
Heeds not how the winds may blow
Click, click, bis type go dropping,
Here and there upon his case,
AS he stands for hours popping
Every letter in its place.
Heaven send the useful printer
Every comfort mortals need,
For our nights were dull in winter
Had We not the news to read.
Sad would he the worlds condition
Ii no printer boys were found;
Ignorance and superstition,
Sin and suffering would abound.
Yea, 1t is the busy printer
Rolls the car OF knowledge on,
And gloomy, mental winter
Soon would reign if he were gone.
Moneys useful, yet the winters
Hill not half 80 much place
As the busy, toiliug printers
lingering types before the case.
Yet while the tyre they're busy setting,
Oft some thankless popinjay,
Leaves the country, kindly letting
Printers whistle for their pay.
Oh! ingratitnde ungracious!
Are those on enlightened soil
Men with minds SO incapacious
AS to slight the printers toll.
See himl how extremely busy,
lingering types before the case;
Toiling, till he's almost dizzy,
To exalt the human race.

A loosejointed man, clad in an
ill-dtiipg knen suit, carrying two
fans and IA sun-umbrella, was ramb-
ling slowly along, with a wet back
and streaming face, when he came
upon a hardy son of the old sod,
with barred breast and sleeves
rolled up to the shoulders, filling
"a bod with bricks and whistling
"Lannagan's Ball. as though he
WAS training for match.
"It's warm this morning." he
said, pausing to watch the man of

"An' did yes fake the trouble to

sense in the dark nights to guard
against collisions, till finally should
see the anchor dropped in the de-
sired haven, without any casualty,
delay, loss, damage, from the begin
ming to the end of the voyage, l
could not pant with that man with
out emotions unutterable. Yet here
/ am on the voyage of life with One
at the wheel who has been there
from my infancy TO the present hour,
to whom I may with Joyful conf
dence repeat these words, "Thon
shalt guide me with thy counsel, and
afterwards receive me to glory"
We bless the memory of this
translator who used the word "shalt'
in this passage, instead of swift"
He let's David here speak propheti-
caIly, but trustfulIy, confding him
self to divine guidance, not merely
foretelling that he will be guided,
but declaring his willingness to be.
There may be all the difference be-
tween a believer and an uubeliever
in saying "shall" rather than swift"
in such case as this; whether you
as from the heart, avouch the Lord
God to be your supreme Ruler, or
merely declare that He will be. U.s.
ing here the word ''shalt," implies a
cordial choice of divine guidance.
He who has made such choice has
the hand of infinite love on his helm.
Some helms seem to have no hand
upon them. They steer wild. They
are blown about; sometimes they are
in the trough of the sea; they have
broached to; some of them go down
forever.

ON THE BRINK.

| have known Arthur Gravely,
well and intimately. A part OF his
story came to my knowledge
through my own observation, and a
part he told to me himself.
Arthur came of an old well-de-
fined and respectable stock, with
just enough pride inherited from his
progenitors to give him refinement
and self-reliance. AT an early age
he was left an orphan, and received
most of his education under the
care of an uncle. When he was
twenty-One he was admitted to the
employ Of Liverpool banker, NAM
ed Vanderlain, and very soon took a
position of trust and responsibility
in the house. A year later he took
for his wife Fanny Summerton, one
of the fairsst and sweetest of earth
ly treasures. He had loved her
long and truly, and her love in re-
turn, had been single and devoted.
Thus was life opening for Arthur
Gravely with bright and happy
promise. He had friends, whichev-
er way he turned; his business pros
poets were of the very best, and his
home was an earthly paradise.
One enemy, and one alone, at
this time stood in Arthur's path.
His wife did not see it then. She
loved him so foduly, and so trust
fully, that she could not see a fault.
A few of Arthur's friends feared
danger, and one of them, more bold
than the rest, spoke to him warn
ingly, but kindly; but he turned
away from the warning with a sneer
of derision.
The months and years went on

A gold fringe OH the purpling hem
Of hills the river runs,
As down its long, green valleys falls
The last Of Summers suns.
Along its tawnY gravel-bed
Broad-howing, swift, and still,
As If its meadows levels felt
The hurry Of the hill,
NOiselsSs between lis banks of green
From curve to curve it slips;
The droWsy mapls-shadOws rest
Like fingers on its lips.
A waif from Carroll's widest hills,
Unstoried and unknown;
The ursins legend Of its name
Prowls on It's banks alone.
Yet flowers as fair It's slopes adorn
As ever Yarrow knew.
Or, under rainy Irish skies,
By Sponsors Mulla grew;
And through the gaps of leaning trees
Its mountain cradle shows;
The gold against the amethyst,
The green against the rose.
Touched by light that hath no name,
A glory never sung,
a
Are Gods great pictures hung.
How changed the SUBMITS vast and old
No longer granite-brpwed.
They melt in rosy mist; the rock
Is softer than the cloud;
The valley holds its breath, no leaf
OF all its elm is twirled:
The silence Of eternity
Seems falling on the world.
The pause before the breaking seals
OF mystery is this;
Yon miraele-play Of night and day
Makes dumb its witnesses.
What unseen altar crowns the hills
That reach up stair on stair?
What eyes look through, what white
wings fan
These purple wells Of air?
What Presence from the heavenly heights
To those of earth stoOps down?
Not vainly HellaS dreamed Of gods
On Ida's snowy crown!
Slow fades the vision of the sky,
The golden water psles,
And over all the yalley-land
A grHy-winged yapor sails.

The sunset fires will burn,
The flowers will blow, the river flow,
When | no more return.
No whisper from the mountain pine
Nor lapsing stream shall tell
The stranger, trending where tread,
OF him who loved them well.
But beauty seen is never lost,
God's oolorS all ara fast.
The glory of this sunset heaven
Into my soul has passed.
A sense Of gadneSs unconfined
To mortal date or cline:
As the soul ivsth, it shall live
Beyond the years of time.
Beside the mystic asphodels
Shall bloom the ome-born flowers,
And new horizons flush and glow
With sunset hues Of ours.
FAREWELL these smiling hills must wear
Too soon their wintry frown,
And snow-elod winds from off them

The naples red leaves down.
But l shall see Summer sun
Still setting broad and low;

The rose-light of perpetual hills,
And sunsets never cold!

Death of the King of the Leperu,

Honolulu papers announce the
death in December of William P.
Ragsdale, Governor of the LepeF
settlement on the Island of Molokai,
Sandwich Islands. "Bill Ragsdale,"
as he was popularly know, was =
Hawaiian by birth, his mother haV-
ing been a native and his father an
American. He was a lawyer, speak
ing English as huently as Hawaiian,
and the most noted orator OF the
Hawaiian kingdom. The manner in
which Ragsdale discovered that he
had the leprosy, as told by himself,
is interesting. He resided for a
number of years on the Island of
Hawaii, and had an Office at HilO,
the capital of the Island. One night
he was studying up a law case in
which he was deeply interested, when
the chimney from his lamp fell on
the table. Although the chimney
was hot as FIRE, "Bill," )" in his excite
msnt, picked it up and set it in its
place without experiencing incon-
Venlence, such as would naturally
result to a really sound person hand
ling q hot lamp-chimney. He re-
fiected for a moment, looked at his
hand. but could not discover the
least sign that it had been burned.
He than took OF and put on the
chimney repeatedly, and with the
same result. This experience con-
vinced him that he was among the
afflicted, and he lost no time in CON-
municating with the authorities. An
examination was made, aud medical
authority declared that he was at
flicted with leprosy. The police did
not arrest him, however, owing 70
his exalted position, as was common
with those suspected of beng lepsrs,
so he voluntarily delivered himself
mn rs q victim of the terrible disease.
He was then sent to Molokai and in
stalled as Governor of the Lspsr
Settlement, which position he held
up to the time of his death. During
his administration Of affairs be was
as successful as be was popular.
There were and are about 500 Lepers
on the settlement, but by his tact
and kindheartedness Ragsdale made
the most extraordinary and saddest
community on the face of the earth
as cheerful and happy as the untGr-
tunstes could be. BY bis advice the
Government made many reforms ane
the Lopsrs recognized him as a IA
ther.
The feature of the money problem
that Broughns can't understand, is
why when gold is down to 1919 be
can't reach it any easier than when it
was up to go,
