Fishing i'm Southern Waters.

A correspondent of the Albany Id
vertiser tells the following fish story:
Heading across the bay to st. Simon's
Light, the man in charge of the wheel
hailed Mr.. Tiff, and directed his atten-
ton to something ahead of us. The OBJ
large as to be matter of wonder to the
sailors aboard. The boat happened to
be provided with a shark Iine-a manila
cord about a half inch thick, with a
large hook tied to trace chain. A
small piece of beef was quickly put on
the hook, float put on the line, and
then cast out, and then the line made
fast to the capstan. AS we neared the
fish the fin disappeared, and all eagerly
watched the float. Suddenly the line
frightened, the float disappeared, the
Roadway of the boat checked, and the
man at the capstan yelled out. "He's
hooked !" have been fishing, but I
never saw the like of that. The fellow
rose to the surface of the wave and
looked at us. We had about seventy
five yards of the line out by this time
and actually, in a second he made
rush and jumped clear over the bow of
the steamer. The ladies then got under
shelter, and all hands helped to hold
that line. The fellow, when he failed
to eat us up, made for the ocean, and
fairly made the waters foam.
After about miles run he began to
tire, and the boat was headed for the |
beach on Jekel Island. Gradually we
pulled in the line until the boat touched !
the beach, and then one of the hands
waded ashore, taking the end of the line
with him, which he made fast to a
stump, and came back for help. Four
of us got ON shore and commenced to |
pull Mr.. Shark ashore. It took all we
could do, and two rife balls to boot, to
land him. When I tell you that he

BROKEN STRINGS
S no minstrel ripe IN years,

There is no minstrel ripe IN years,
But, as his song he sings,
Feels masingly across his harp
To find soma broken strings.
Tho early songs that from his Tyre
His youthful fingers flung,
Have lost their first Promethean fire
Since love and life were young.
The world may listen to the strains
Which from each harp-string float,
But still unto his ear remains
discord in the note.
And still his heart, dissatisfied,
Seeks, yearningly, in vain,
To find the music which has died
And mend the broken strain.
Oh, world that listens, when too late,
Unto the voice which sings,
And loves the music, when the years
Have shattered many strings,
But little owes the bard to you
For praises from your tongue,
Who heard not when the harp was new,
And love and life were young.

Majesty of tho Law.

There is Justice of the Peace out in
Crosby County, says Teas .Siftifsgs.
Week before last he found a man guilty
of shooting bull that did not belong
to him, and fined him $75. "Whv,
Jedge," said the doomed man, Il
haven't got no $75; 1 can't, pay no SIGH
fine" "The State of Texas puts me in
this Office to find out a way to make
men pay their fines. You will cut cedar
poles until you have cut enough to sat
isfy the majesty of the law" replied
the Justice. "But, Jedge, what use
has the State of Texas got for cedar
poles ?" 'The State of Texas hasn't
got no use for cedar poles. It's this
court who needs them cedar poles to
build fence. I'll take the poles, and
settle with the State of Texas for them. )"
And the poor devil is cutting cedar
poles for the State of Texas now.

years ago or more he saw an adver-
tisement of new variety of sweet
corn. He sent dollar for few ears.
and sold their product for S. bushel,
and had grown it ever since. It was
Russell's Prolific. He introduced and
named the Early Minnesota. A stu
dent at the university was boarding
with him, and spoke of an early variety
of sweet corn they had at home. in
Minnesota. He asked him to obtain
small package for him. which he
did, and he grew it and named it Early
Minnesota, the earliest sweet corn
grown. In answer to inquiry he said
he had grown it in fifty days.
Mr.. Simmons considered it a good
plan to change seed from heavy to
light, and from light to heavy soils, but
did not believe it best to chase after
every new variety that comes up. New
varieties may do better because, costing
so much, more pains are taken in Gull
tivation. When anything new has been
well tested, and proved better than the
old, it is good to change for it.
A farmer of Syracuse ships all his
potatoes to Bermuda for seed, and the
resulting crop is shipped back here
and sold, but if planted here would be
of little value. Another potato grower
says he plants the same fields, year
after year, and has no wish to change:
he manures freely, using commercial
fertilizers in the hill.
NEsT-BoxEs.--A correspondent in the
Poultry Yard, writing about nest-boxes
for Matching, claims that these ought
invariably to be placed upon the ground.
He claims that his greatest success has
been gained by the use of boxes with
bottoms not exceeding half on inch in
thickness placed upon the damp ground,
with small holes to admit moisture.
When the box is not set in damp place
he advises that inverted turf be placed
in the bottom of the nest. In lining
nest care should be observed not to
make it too deep or rounding, else the
eggs will press so closely together as to
become broken. When practicable set
ting hens should be quite apart from
laying ones and their nest placed in as
quiet and secluded place as possible.

Statements so outspoken as the above and
coming from such a reliable source are valu-
able beyond question. They conclusively
show not only the power of the remedy which
has become so well known and popular, but
the great importance of attention in time to
the first indications of declining health. When
professional men of such high standing sink
their prejudice and willingly declare their be-
lief in that which they know to be valuable,
the public may confidently follow their example.
