Song of the Grass.

Peepi peep! peep! peep!
Now break my winters sleep;
Now in silence win my way
Upward to the light of day.
Through the dead yet fragrant mass
Of the last years tangled grass,
Up, by every random stone,
Up, by every tree o'erblown,
By the brushy fences side,
Where young violets lurk and hide,
1 am coming everywhere,
Ger the earth all brown and bare.
Greet me gladly, gratefully;
Summers faithful herald i,
Kindly to my tender spears
Bend, and lend attentive ears,
While whisper sweet of flowers,
While tell of summer showers,
Prophesy of golden grain,
And of loaded autumn vain.
Greet me gladly, for in me
Prophet true of good you see,
Coming, coming, everywhere,
Making all the brown earth fair.

Such person is now on his way from
North Carolina to- the Northern States
i'll search of work at his trade as plas-

His name is Charles Tumley, and he
has three brothers, each as big as him
self. Like most giants-excepting, per-
haps, Goliath, Polyphemus and other
bloody minded wretches he is genial
and mild hammered person, and prefers
to toll at his trade rather than accept
many fattering offers from circus men.

How He was Victimized.

The course of true love has many Oh
stacles, and nowhere is the truth of this
axiom more distinctly exhibited than in
the Office of the city registrar. One in
stance occurred a few days ago, wherein
loving swain intrusted his inamOrata
with $500 with which to purchase a
wedding outfit, and then obtained from
the city registrar the necessary dOcu-
ment to insure marriage ceremony at
Il day denoted by the bride. The day
came but not the wedding, for the lady
urged postponement for week in
order that she might complete her tros-
seau and, at the same time, procured
$500 more from her would-be husband.
Then came a separation, seemingly
temporary, but really for life. The
lover kept his appointment promptly
on the wedding day, secured ii clergy
man, and did all else necessary to
complete his happiness, but the future
wife did not make her appearance. He
was disconsolate. A search was insti-
tuted but instead of bride he found
another certificate which placed Il stran-
ger in the position of husband and left
him out in the cold. Minus money and
bride, his reflections are not at all con-
ducive to Il high estimate of the con-
>tancy of wOman's nature.-BOstOn

Honey Comb.

There are two kinds of comb re.
uuired in a hive-worker and drone !;
the former small and the latter large
cells. It takes great deal OF time
and expense to construct it. There
is about two aud half pounds in a
common hive, which is made of hon
ey, on the same principle that if we
feed hogs on corn, q certain portion
OF it viii be oil or fat; the same with
bees when gorged with honey for a
certain length OF time, a portion Of
it will secrete intowa which ex-
tends from them in the form Of small
white scales (extends from wax
pouches in the end of the abdomen,
which they use in constructing comb.
1t is universally considered that it
will require twenty pounds of honey
to make one pound of comb; if SO, it
will require fifty pounds OF honey to
furnish one hive with comb, and
honey at twenty-five cents per pound.
would be $3.50.

A Tribute to Woman.

The following beautiful tribute to
woman was written several years
ago. 1t occurs in a tale Of touching
interest. entitled The Broken
Heart"-its author DR.. B. j. STRAIT
ton: @
''Oh, the priceless value of the
love of pure womanl Gold can
not purchase a gem so precious.
Titles and honor confer upon the
heart no such serene happiness. In
our darkest moments, when disap-
pointment and ingratitude, with cor.
roding care gather thick around, and
even the gaunt form Of poverty me-
naces with his skeleton fngers, it
CLEANS around the soul with an an
gels smile. Time cannot mar its
brittany; distance but strengthens
its influence, bolts and bars cannot
limits its progress; it fellows the
prisoner into his dark cell, and
sweetens the home morsel that ap-
peases his hunger, and in the ST.
lence OF midnight it plays around
his heart. and in his dreams he folds
to his bosom the form Of her who
loves on still, though the world has
turned cold from him. The couch
made by the hand OF the loved one
is soft to the weary limbs of the
sick sufferer. and the potion admin
istered by the same hands loses half
its bitterness. The pillow carefully
adjusted by her brings repose to the
feve.ed brain. and her words of
kind encouragement revive the sink.
ing spirit. Il would almost seem
that God. compassiOnating woman's
first great frailty. had planted this
jewel in her breast. whose heaven
like influence should cast into for
getfulness mans remembrance Of
the fall by building up in his heart
another Eden, where perennial fow-
ers forever bloom and crystal wa
tiers gush from exhaustless foun-
tains." -

A wild Family Of the Woods.

Jasper County Netosboy: There
is a family consisting of a man, his
wife, and several children. now liv-
ing ia the lower part of this county
of Texas, who stay in the woods
without any shelter other than that
afforded by the forest trees, and sub
sist upon acorns. nuts. herbs, rats,
birds, fish, frogs, and such other food
as they can procure by fishing, fora
ging and trapping. These people
it ia said, came from Southern Texas,
though their true origin is unknown
They are Ofwild. uncivilized nature
and when carried Ito the homes OF
the people and treated kindly, wear
an air of discomfort, and after eat
ing in a most gluttonous manner
steal slowly away to the woods.

The Lemon.

Few people know the value of
lemon juice. A piece OF lemon
bound upon a corn, will cure it in a
few days it should be renewed night
and morning. A free use of lemon
sugar will always relieve cough.
Most people feel poorly in the spring
OF the year, and so take medicine for
relief; but if they would eat a lemon
before breakfast every day for a
-week-with or without sugar. as
they like-they would find it better
than medicine" ~
Perhaps we would not go beyond
the bounds of proper conjecture. il
we said lemons were promotive OF
devotion and valor, for it is recorded
of Stonewall Jackson, the greatest
military genious and most Prayerful
man OF the age, that he was 'habi-
tual lemon sucker

THE " MAN-EATER0 SHOT
"a e. &c s - ~
al Stallion that has Killed three
Men and Disfigured Twenty
M


Men and Disflgured Twenty
Others.
A dispatch from Middletowu, New
York. says:
The Hambletonian stallion, IRIS.
hkhatn, y one OF the finest bred
h9rsssBin Orange county, was killed
by his owner, DIR. j. A. Schultz, in
this place last night. This horse
was twenty-one years old. An offer
OF $1,000 was ence refused for him.
At two years of age he was consider
cd the, coming successor Of Old Ham
bletenian, bic sire. Nineteen years
ago, however, he began to exhibit
Bigns Of viciousness that increased
rs he grew older. Finally he be-
came almost entirely unmanageable.
and has since been known az the
"man-eater." He had killed three
men. and wounded. crippled and dis
figured twenty others. For fourteen
years no one dared to put him to q
wagon, until short time ago. DR..
Schultz. who had owned him but q
short time, with the aid OF several
men, got him in harness and to a
wagon, and tried to drive him. 1t
was a dear experiment. The stall
lion broke everything to pieces. aud
the Doctor was himself saved by the
merest chance. Many Of the lead
ing horse trainers of the country had
tried their skill at subduing him. He
conquered them all, and nearly killed
one of them. One Of his latest ex-
ploits was the seizing Of negro
m4who had undertaken to keep
him, tearing off the mans cheek and
destroying the right eye, and string
ing the flesh from his right arm. The
groom became blind and paralyzed .
The three men who proceeded the ne
gro as grooms all narrowly escaped
with their lives. One lost an ear
another had three fingers and q
thumb taken off; the third left his
arm from the elbow in the jaws Of
the horse. It became impossible to
get a groom for the stallion. Ne
one knew at what moment the brute
would attack him. DIR. Schultz at
last made up his mind that Rising
ham was chemically insane. and con
cluded to kill him before he manned
another victim.
As Risingham stood in his stall
gIaring over the manger at the spec
tators who had entered the staole to
see the man-eater die. Eve large pis
toll balls were shot into bis head, di
rectly between his eyes They fail
ed to bring him down, and, uttering
the fercest neighs, he made frantic
efforts to get over the manger among
the bystanders. AS a man drew the
attention of the horse away, DR.,
Schultz, by a skilful thrust of long
knife. severed his jugular vein, and
the blood spurted out In a large
stream. For long time Risingham
stood up under the great flow o
blood. relaxing no effort to get a
the men. At length he settled tc
the floor, but to the last maintained
his fierce disposition. The las
movement he made was TO attempt
to seize DR.. Schultz with his teeth
the doctor having gone into the stall
Horsemen say that but for the TEN
per of this horse he would have beer
worth $4,000.
