Among the Mowers.

Where ripening wheat and clover meet,
And shadows stretch of forest bowers,
What time cool breezes kiss the feet
or laughing lassies thither drawn
Their fresh cheeks rosy as the dawn
The mowers dewy tracks appear
Their whctstones' choory click hear
And seek them in these morning hours.
New life seems stirring in tho veins
That barred arms show-all move in line;
With pride the master holds the reins
Der drappled grays whose swath afar
Rolls on as with triumphal car,
Adown tho smooth, rich intervalel
From bush and shrub the sparrows call;
The smallest pools like silver shine.
Grand are the lessons taught a-field,
Where healthful toll hard hands employs
The car and blade such largoss yield,
Upspringing through tho night and day,
We wonder-but tits Gods own way,
Praised by the children of tho sun
From tree-tops in each orison,
When natures breast is filed with joyi

How sponges are Caught.

A correspondent of the New Haven
Conn., Register tells how they fish for
sponges in the Bahamas: When a YES
sci arrives at the fishing ground it is
anchored, and the men in small boats
proceed to look for sponges in the
water below. The water is beautiful
light blue color, and so clear a sixpence
can easily be seen on tho white, sandy
bottom in thirty-fye to forty feet of
water. OF course when there is no
wind, and the surface of the water is
still, the sponges are easily seen, but
when a gentle breeze is blowing "sea-
glass" is used. A a-glass consists of
q square pine box about twenty inches
in length, pane of glass about 10xl2
inches placed in one end, water-tight.
To use it, the glass end is thrust into
the water, and tho face of the operator
is placed close to the other. By this
means the wave motions of the water
are overcome, and the bottom readily
seen. Sponges when seen on the bot
tom attached 20 rocks, look like big
black bunch. They are pAled eff their
natural beds 10y forked hooks, which
are run down under the sponge, which
is formed like the head OF a cabbage
and the roots pulled from the rocks.
When brought TO the surface it is a
mass of soft, glutinous stuff, which to
the touch feels like soap or thick Jelly.
When small boat load is obtained
they are taken TO the shore, where a
crawl is built in which they are placed
to die, so that the jelly substance will
readily separate from the firm fiber of
the sponge. These crawls are built by
sticking pieces of brush into the sand
out of the water, large enough to con-
tain the catch. It takes from five to
six days for the insect to die, when the
sponges are beaten with small sticks,
and the black glutinous substance falls
OFF, leaving the sponge, after thorough
washing, ready for market. To tho
fishermen generally the occupation is
not a lucrative one. l am told tho
wages will hardly average three dollars
per week, besides board. There is but
little diving for sponges, except for
particularly fine bunch which cannot be
got with the hook. The sponge is
formed by small insects, and is the
hive in which they live. Different quail
ties are found growing side by side,
although In certain regions the finer
and moro valuable sponges are found.

medicine, and wrap themselves up in

public and pay their way. Roads,
bitches, bridges, and parks are built,
improved and kept clean, and the law
enforced at the same time. And the
result is that Richmond, with its 3d.

does not show o~ne-sixth of the arrests

take a year in the State Prison than
another thirty lashes. Our snivelers
may call it barbarism or whatever
they like, but Virginia with her chain
gang and whipping-post laws does not
record the arrest of one petty offender
where Ohio OF New York records six.

The Romance Of q Poor Young
Man.

New York Horeldd
Some little time ago Mr.. Ashmead
Bartlett, a young American, gave his
hand in marriage 10 the Baroness
Burdett- Coutta, a lady Of unbounded
benerelenoe. There was a disparity
between them, both In fortune aud In
years, and malicious tongues were not
slow to assail the bridegroom. IL is
not pleasant to recall tho paragraphs
that were written in abuse ofhim. lIo
was to be stunned by society; he was
never to show himself at clubs, balls
or garden parties; he was undor the
especial displeasuro Of tho Queen.
The young man bore his cross with
humility. He went 10 his clubs ex-
pecting a rebuff and was greeted with
open arms by the members, delighted
to sit in the presence OF so much
wealth. He went to the levees at
Buckingham Palace, waiting for the
Lord Chamberlain to request his
withdrawal, and royalty regarded him
with more than common favor. He

ing that even the poor would now re-
fuse it, and begging letters came in
more a~bundantly than ever. All tho
offensive paragraphs were proved un-
true, and the husband Of the Baron
essp became quite a popular person.
And there is now a delightful surprise
in store for those who in his wealth
refused to scorn him and his grandeur
would not pass him by. He is not
rich at all. According to a provision
in a certain will Lady Burdett-C outts
was to lose most of her property in
marrying him. He knew that this
provision existed; he was aware that
he would be cut off with a small an
nual allowance" and he was true to
his word in spite of it. Outside the
domain of comedies and novels such
disinterettedness is rare; and il the
husband Of the Baroness was popu-
lar when he was rich, he ought to be a
hero Of romance now that he is poor.

Nashville Americana
1t is especially fitting that the Nash
vile ladies should respond readily
and gladly to the invitation lately
made to them, to aid in placing the
portrait of Mrs. Polk beside that Of
her husband in the White House.
This noble lady belongs to US and
sheds upon our favored city the luster
Of her elevated character. For more
than thirty years, her home in the
heart of the city Las been one Of Nash
ville's chief attractions, and it has
been the spot towards which patriotic
duty and pleasure have annually
drawn the legislature and the many
other various bodies in session here,
and all visitors and strangers from
abroad. The distinction and dignity
Of Mrs. Polk impress every one, but
her charming courtesy and afability
make friends Of oil who converse with
her. With wonderful balance of char
acter and keen intellectual discern
ment, from the height where she is
seated, she recognizes tue good in
every one who approaches her. how
