In all accounts the fairs lately held in
nearly every part of the country there arc
few things more remarkable than the rapid
propagation of Jersey cattle noted by the
prominent positions they hold ut the diff
ferent exhibitions, A few years back, n
Jersey was seldom seen at any of the fairs,
except here and there in the cast, where
as. now, according TO nearly all reports,
they number as many as any other breed
and often more.

SARAH HELEN WHIrMAN.-I like best
to think of Poe rs associated with his
betrothed, Sarah Helen Whitman, whom |
saw sometimes in her later years. That
gifted woman had outlived her early
friends and loves and hopes, and perhaps
her literary fame, such as it was; she had
certainly outlived her recognized ties with
Poe, and all but his memory. There she
dwet in her little suit of rooms, bearing
youth still in her heart and her voice, and
on her hair also, and in her dress. Her
dimly lighted parlor was always decked
here and there with scarlet and she sat,
robed in white, with her back always
turned to the light. thus throwing dis
creetly tinted shadow over the still
thoughtful and noble face. She seemed n
person embalmed while still alive; it was
AS if she might dwell forever there, pro-
longing into an indefinite future the tradi.
ton of a poets love; and when we remcm.
Der that she had been Poc's betrothed, that
his kisses had tonched her lips, that she
still believed in him and was his defender,
all criticism might well, for her sake, be
disarmed, and her sanity life atone for
his stormy and sad career. II W. Hig-

What Saved Him.

DURING the " hard winter " of 1877,
when $4,000 unemployed workmen
haunted the streets of New York, driven
to beggary, or too often theft, man
rang at the door-bell of a house in one
of our large cities, and asked for some.
thing to eat. He told a glib story OF
his discharge from a wooden mill, and
said he had wife starving not far
away.
The mistress of the house made it
rule not to give aims that winter, ex.
cept after personal examination of the
case of each applicant.
She went to the kitchen and ordered a
substantial meal set before the man,
who ate ravenously. He was a young,
honest-looking fellow, but there were
heavy marks of dissipation on his face.
Suddenly he dropped his knife and fork
and sat staring at the door.
"Who's that?" he cried. "Johnny,
Johnny!"
The lady's little child, girl of three,
had followed her from the nursery, and
stood in her white gown in the doorway,
her fair curls tumbing over her face.
The tramp recovered himself with a
coarse laugh.

your child, of course. II haven't seen

But his food seemed to choke him. In
few moments he started up again in
agitation and said:

While he spoke his eyes were fixed
on the child with terrible hunger in
them.
Little one," he said, holding out his
hands with pitiful entreaty, "shake
hands with me, won't youP wouldn't
hurt hair of your head"
The mothers heart gave throb. The
man was foully dirty, just out of prison,
full perhaps of disease.
But the baby (surely God sent it) ran
forward smiling. With both hands out,
Jim kneeled down beside it, the tears
rolling down his cheeks. 90 II is so like

THE TURN OF AN ACCIDENT.

IT was six O'Clock of crisp October
morning, and John Boyd, farmer, rous-
ing from his sound nights sleep, sprang
out of bed with the alert readiness of
man who knows the value of the first
hours ofthe day. 1t was tavern bed
from which he jumped; home and its
cares were many miles away but a
long ridela before him, and he washed
and dressed briskly, as one in haste,
humming cheerful air meanwhile, as
became man who felt himself in good
spirits, and had ample reason for being
so. For, be it known, this year had
proved the best for farmers since John
had been his own master. Harvests
had been large, prices high, and John,
on his way back from the annual mar
ket, carried sense of freedom and lib

"a mortgage which had pressed as
heavily on his conscience as did the
burden of Christian on his shoulders.
The burden was lifted now; and, fur

red wallet two hundred dollars, over
and above, toward the expenses of the
next year. He had never been so " fore

a joyful one. "My neck is out of the

he brushed his thick brown hair. 81

Then, his toilette completed, he ran
down stairs, two steps at time.
Farmer-like, his first visit was 10 his
horses. They were munching their corn
satisfactorily and after look or two,
and a pat, John returned TO the inn,
where jaDgling bell announced break

The Flower Garden.

Now is the time that farmers
wives should lay out plans for next sum-
mer's flowers. If we have not the
seeds or bulbs, it is much better to or
der now, as the poorest are always re-
served until the last. Unless one has
plenty of time at her disposal, it is bet
ter TO select few sorts and cultivate
them well, than have dozen beds and
borders oyerrun with weeds and giving
only a few struggling blossoms. Then
one should choose the sorts with refer
ence to private ideas and wishes; there
are so few plants that make good
show in the garden which are at the
same time good for cutting and possess
the subtle charms of fragrance, one
should know what she wants of flowers
and plant accordingly. The morning
glory is the prince of vinesj sweet pea,
mignonette and alyssum are fragrant;
catchfiy and centaurea bachelors but
ton) are early; balsams, petunias and
four o'clocks make good show, but
are of little use for cutting, while the
aster, stock, phlox drummOndi, verbe-
ma, calliopsis and larkspur are not only
good for cutting, but give the garden
fascinating brightness. AdOnis will
make spots of gay color in shady cor
ner, while the portulaca needs the sun
niest angle where it will display its unl
rivaled beauty during the morning
hours. Ammobium, gomphrena and
helichrysum are desirable for winter
bouquets, and when the feather-grass
(stipapenneta) is added, great deal OF
beauty is obtained. Castor bean and
helianthus do well in the background,
and few plants of perilla, amaranthus
and pyrethrum are very NICE for orna-
mental foliage. No home is complete
without flowers, but they should be SO
ordered that the borders will be last.

not put them under tree, for they will
grow spindling. Neither plant them in
raised beds where the intense heat of
the summer sun will rapidly absorb all
the moisture. Choose rather bed cut
in the lawn, or better still, the shady
side of house, remembering al
ways that shade and moisture are es-
sential TO the successful cultivation of
pansies. If you desire all the flowers
] you can get, remove some of them every
day; there viii always be some to take
their places. If you wish seeds, re-
move all but the largest and best formed
blooms. Like produces like, so large
flowers can not be raised from poor

why woman's hair is longer than her
husbands The frstis thatsinoe nature

growth of the face, and to q great de-
gree that Of the body. larger supply
of hirstite forming material is left for
the scalp. The second is, her hair
having larger diameter Of shaft Is
stronger and less liable TO break, and
has, too, an increased formative power
of the papillm. The third reason Is,
that she is usually less engaged in men
tai labors or business worry, and so
there results more constant and even

is less constantly covered and is better
ventilated than the mans, and IL might
be added that she cultivatos her crop

THE San Antonio (Tex.) Express
says: "The little girl, Jessie Lumly,
upon whom the operation gastrotomy,
or cutting through the stomach, was
performed by Dir. Herff, last August,
and who has since received all her
nourishment through the stomach, is
gaining strength and flesh very rapidly.
The child masticates the food given
her, and, being unable to swallow,
takes the chewed diet and inserts it
into her stomach through the tube
placed there by the surgeon. She has
got so that she can digest any kind Of
food given her, and appears to be per-
fectly healthy and as cheerful and
frisky as any of her playmates."

The hollow OF an ancient tree
Is castle, domlcile for me,

And midnight weird-of night the noon.

Delightedly my lulled ears bark;
The dews nocturnal mists distill
With dampness all my feathers fill.

Amid the silence and the dew,
Raiding on roost and farmstead near,
While drowses sleepy chanticleer,
No more with clarion shrill to cheer,
As morning breaks, his masters ear.

Who dubs me mystic and recluse;
Far from his haunts make my camp
In solitude of treey swamp,
Whence send forth my solos till
With raneous walls ring wood and hill.
The maid of wisdom's buckler bore
My large. eyed face in days of yore;
My ancient Attic kindred flew
Engraved on coins the wide world through.
The fixed regard of my great eyes
Let men assume TO pass for wise
The unfeathered biped despise.
Meantime revolving earth warns me,
When back to hurry to my tree;
in sylvan covert shy withdrawn
i blink the rose -streaks cool of dawn,
Hiding, as its aerial gold
is over eastern hill tops rolled,
Quenching in its refulgent stream,
The morn star Phosphorus ardent beam.
