THE ILLUMINATED DRESS.

It's an awful nuisance to be poor, that's
fact. And to be poor, and to be pretty,
and to be proud-hard lines can go but lit
tie further, aud 1 had gone to the eXtrem-
ity of hard lines,
I suppose you'll think no good of me for
saying that was pretty. But I didn't
say it first. The glass said it every morn
ing. And when one sees cheek like the
rosy down on peach, eyes soft and dark
as black pearl, their dark fringes almost
too heavy for the white lids to lift, fea-
lures like sculpture; and yellow hair shin
ing like satin folds in it's braids-and all
that sort of thing, one would have to be a
fool not to know whether the picture was
good, bad or Indifferent. And 50 I knew
that was pretty; but didn't take much
satisfaction in it !; it never gave me thrill
of what call vanity it was the source
of almost constant modification, on the
other hand, and would rather have been
plain as Susan Winckworth, and have mad
plenty to wear.
Drab doesn't show the dirt, and so my
dresses we're always drab, Remnants are
cheaper than whole patterns, and so my
dresses were combinations of two or three
remnants. AS for bonnets, dom It believe
I'd ever had an entirely new one. I made

And then you can't keep pretty girl
shut up from the rest of the human race,
unless you put her in convent people

John Rokesby and Paul Ventnor, aad all
the rest. To tell the truth, I didn't SO
much mind John and Paul and all the rest
because they had known me as little rag
bag ever since was born, and dear old
John would have been only too glad to
take me for better or worse, rags and all !:
and Paul L wouldn't have had, you know
to save his soul-besides, Susan was in

Time Goes? All No!
Time goes, you say =? All no!
Alas, Time stays, zoe go;
Or else, were this not so,
What need to chain the hours,
For youth were always ours ?
Time goes, you say? ah no
Ours is the eyes deceit
OF men whose flying feet
Lead through some landscape low;
We pass, and think we see
The earth's fixed slitface flee
Alas, Time stays-we go!
Once in the days of old,
Your locks were curling gold,
And mine had shamed the crow;
Now, IN the self-same stage,
We've reached the silver age;
Time goes, you say? oh MOI.
Once when my voice was strong,
I filed the woods with song
To praise your'' roses and 'ssnoW:''
My hi d that sa e is dad;
Where are your Sc fed?
Alas, Time stays-we SO!
See, in what traversed ways,
What back ward Fate delays
The hopes we used to know;
Where are our old desires?-
All, where those vanished fires?
Time goes, you say?-ah no!
How far. how far, o sweet,
The past behind our feet
Lies in the even-gloW!
Now, on the forward way,
Let US fold our hands and pray;
Alas. Time stays-ace go!

ENs1LAGE.-In the last number of the
Southern Planter and Farmer" Col. r.
II. Dulany, Of Loudoun county, has an
article relating his experience in the mat
ter. He drills corn in fifteen acres of sod
land, and MANFRED it very heavily, adding
400 TBS. Of bone dust to the acre. The re-
suit was the heaviest corn he ever saw.
Then he prepared a pit 70 feet long, 20 feet
wide, and IL feet deep, and lined it with
two foot stone wall, cementing the sides
and bottom. He cut up his fodder by
means Of a steam engine. It took fourteen
men fourteen days to fill the pit within
three feet Of the top. On the 10th of Jan
uary he opened the pit, found the ensilage
in first rate condition, and commenced
feeding, both sheep and cattle eating it
with great relish. From a flock of 100
sheep that have been fed on ensilage he
has lost but one in three weeks, while out
OF flock Of $50 which have been fed on
corn, straw and fodder, he lost 80 in two
weeks. He says:
"The Is acres of ensilaged corn would
have fed so cattle 125 days, the usual
length of our winter, with the addition
of one gallon of corn day to each steer.
If so cubic feet make a. ton, then I had
1888 tons, which cost to cut. haul, and
pack away. $2O0-less than 81 a ton"
From this carefully condu eted expert
ment by farmer who stands so high in
his profession as Col, Dulaney, and whose
opinion is justly entitled to great weight,
our own farmers may deduce some relia-
BILE facts which may aid them to eonclu-
sion as to the merits and dement's of the
system. And if any Of our readers have
any information or opinions about it which
they would like to impart to their brother
farmers. we will he glad to hear from them.

Foundry Fire.

The Industrial Iron Works, neal
the county Jail, managed by T. +.
Risk & Co., took FIRE between three
and four o'clock this morning. The
fire broke out in the main building
where a large number Of patterns,
worth $500 or thereabouts, were
ruined. The building was par
TALLY destroyed, and the works and
material damaged to a considerable
extent. The fremen we're quickly.
at the spot, and soon got the upper
hand Of the flames. The extent Of
the loss is estimated at about $4,000,
fully covered by insurance, the total
policies covering the works being
$13,O6l. The origin Of the FIRE is un-
known, having first been discovered
in the central portion of the main
building. The insurance is divided as
follows; Home Insurance Company
Of Memphis, a special policy on fin
ished and unfinished work of $500
loss partial; Fire Association Of New
York, $1,000 on patterns-loss total.
Also in the following companies risks
averaging S1l63 each, the loss being
partial, say about half; German Amer

SOL COLEMAN.
BAD DARBY
ChOkes n Little Girl Half 20
Death,

A violent tempered female crank
rests injail on a very serious charge.
She %yiciously assaulted a little girl Of
nine or ten years yesterday morning,
a few hundred yards from Whites
Station, about nine miles east of the
city. The girls name is Sallie Moore
and she is the daughter of widow
Pattie G. Moore, her husband having
died several years ago. Sallic, who
is a popular and a bright little
girl, was on her way alone to school,
and when crossing the railway a short
distance from her home. she was sud-
denly pOunced upon by the yellow girl
and her life was half chokod out
before she could be rescued. The
child managed to make herself heard,
and Mary Dennis. a colored woman,
went to her relief, driving the in
furialed wench away from the helpless
and innocent victim. She related after
ward that while passing along the road
Loula Tyler suddenly grabbed her
by the hair, dragged her into ditch
and pinned her fingers about her
throat and neck. The marks Of the
assault we're so plainly visible on the
child that all who saw her became in
furiated, and it was with difficulty
that Loula Tyler was saved from
lynching. Major Dick Mason arrested
aud kept her confined at his residence,
a mile or two from the station, last
night and this morning, she was
brought into the city aud placed in
iail to await the action Of the grand
Jury. The only explanation given
by the wench for her conduct was that
she did it to protect the
girl from a big haired man who was
lying ia wait for the child. As no
one else was heard Of about the spot
at the time, the theory is that Loula
is either crazy or feigning lunacy. She
is a bad tempered piece, and belongs
to a family Of the same caliber. Loula
is about seventeen years old, and was
reared in the vicinity Of Whites
Station.

The Mission at 1T. JOseph's
Church.
The mission will conclude on Christ
mas evening at 7:3O, with solemn yes
pcrs, sermon, papal benedictiOn and
benediction Of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. The ordinary audience was in
attendance last night, the subject be-
ing What Catholics Believe About
Eternal Punishment. The sacred or
ator expressed the Catholic doctrine
very accurately, and by effectual and
vivid comparisons enabled the mind
of his audience to comprehend and
realize to a possible degree the ma
ture, intensity and duration Of those
pains. This evening the subject will
DO Tho Inevitable End Of Every
Man.
Clara Louise Kellogg.
On Monday evening, January I'd,
the Kellogg concert troupe is to ap.
pear at the Greenlaw Operahouse, and
the occasion promises to be the lead
ing event of the holiday season in
amusement circles. The local man
ager, Mr.. Levy, is exerting
himself to put the house in
proper condition for the reception
of the large and fashionable gatherings
expected to attend. Two women are
now busy scrubbing and busting out
the auditorium. The chairs arc to be
remembered, and on the day ofthe con-
cert the building will be heated from
8o'clock in the morning until the close
of the concert. This is the last and
only opportunity we will have Of hear
ing Miss Kellogg. Seats are to be
sold at MeCartby's next Wednesday,
and no one person will be allowed to
buy more than six, so that all may
have an equal chance.
"FOrget-Me-EOt."
Genevieve Ward again presented
ker forcible character of Stepbanie in
her absorbing play of Forget. Me-
Not" at Leubrie's theater last
night. The audience was not as
large a one as the merits Of the play
deserved, but those who attendt d
pronounced the acting superb and the
play one Of the best we have had this
season. 1t may be stated however
as a fact that our peop'e are
rather Indifferent about witnessing
even so fine a play as
FORGET Ne Not and so capital an
actress as Miss Ward more than a
time or two, and when they can attend
either Of five nights or the matinee
they divide out as it were. A large
audience for tonight is assured; also
at the matinee tomorrow, when Miss
Ward will appear for the last tiue.

London Colonies and Indla.J
Latest advices from Newfoundland
record the appearance off st. John, az
the end Of October, Of the IVA guard
iceberg Of the huge Arctic armada
now sailing southwark along the
coasts Of Labrador and Newfound-
land" No less than twenty three
huge masses Of glacial drift ice are,
reported TO have been seer during
October off the northern shores Of the
island slowly, but surely, drifting
southwark across the track Of vessels
plying between Europe and America.
The first berg sighted of st. John was
estimates TO be not less than a quarter
of a mile in length and three hundred
feet in height above water. AS two
feet Of ice are under water for every
one above, the total height Of this
huge mass mgst have been nine hun
dred feet. Its form was that of a vast
plateau rising not more than a few
feet from the surface Of the sea, and
extending about two hundred fee,
from the southern side, with a bi,ob
range Of ice peaks suddenly risip'p ont
of the plain. The rate at which this
huge a Of ice drifted to TIE sontb.
ward against a head wipd was est
mated at two and three fourth miles
per hour. Commanders Of vessaIs
crossing the Atlantic will need to Eeep
a good lookout for these invaders from
the Arctic regions. The powerfnl
headlights borne by most Of
the large passenger steamers will
render good service in enabling their
presence to be detected.
