1t was pretty plain dealing, but it was
a great eye-opener to the young man.
He sat upon the piazza for an hour in the
moonlight and thought, and thought.

thought was uppermost must gain

Twain would say, "knocked more conceit
out Of him than a fit OF sickness" 'IIum-
ble PIE" may not be very palatable, but it
is sometimes just the diet to bring one
around right. Slowly and soberly the
young man "came to himself,' and then
the foremost thought was "What a
wretch | have beeu Can Phebe have a
spark of love or respect for me ?"
There must have been something good
in the YOUTH or that loyal heart could
not have held her affection for him,
through thick and thin, as she had done.

A Fancy.

The tide goes out and the tide comes in,
And gulls hang Whitley about the shore;
Our ears grow used to the waters din,
And we heed the birds quaint flight no more
The roses bloom and the roses fade
The green leaves Wither and brown and fall
The brook from its old time course has strayed
And what does it matter. after all:
We gather moss from the rolling waves,
Or pluck rose that is red and rare;
While their comrades sink INTO nameless graves
We lay these by with Il careless care.
And SO with friends that are dear and true
We love them, ay. with loye-like flame;
But when they pass from our daily view.
'TiS near-ah, me is it quite:-the same.
We put the thought of their love away
\ picture, flower, a ring, a book
we breathe prayer that they used to pray.
And shrine in our hearts n tender look.
But rcd,ler roses shall come with spring.
SWeeter and larger than these by far:
And new. bright moses the waves will bring
fresh face shine from our beacon star.
50 what does ii count that the sun goes down
The waves roll out and the roses fall.
That eyclids close over smile or froWn?
Al, what does it count Us. after all

A sheet Of cotton cloth is a great pro
lection to horses, screening them from
flies, dust, and heat, while working in the
harvest field. Especial care must be
taken in keeping the horses clean. An
occasional washing with a soft sponge
and carbolic soap cleans and cools the
skin, aids prespiration, drives away the
flies, and is in every way healthful and
refreshing. Horses may be given bath
in stream at evening, provided they
are not warm from work, and are not
kept in the water more than few
minutes. If the horses are at pasture
at night, they need good, generous feed

HAS MR.. THING ANYTHING TO SAY
The Greenbackers Of this district are
anxious to have Mr. ID. ii. Thing, candi-
date for Congress, define his position and
let us know where he stands. At the
county convention held in Gardiner,
June Goth, 1879, when Mr.. Thing was
nominated as a candidate for Senator, he
made the statement in my presence that
he was a Greenbacker and opposed to the
old Democratic party. Yet at q Demo
cratic convention June 21th, 1882, d. ii.
Thing Il am pretty sure he is the same
man, was nominated as Democratic
candidate for Congress) and what is
more surprising, this Mr. Thing was en-
d0rsed as Il Greenbacker ut the Green
back district convention held at Lewiston
June 30, 1852. Nov, will Mr.. Thing de-
tine his position one way or the other and
settle the minds of many puzzled Green
hackers in this district? 1t was well an
derst0od that Hon. G.. \. White, OF Gar
diner, was to be nominated 10y the Green
hackers for Congress: and knowing this
to be fact and that Mr.. White could not
be handled, some fthe Would-be Demo
cratic leaders, at their caucus in this
city, passed a resolution advising Things
nomination at their convention, and I
am informed that the nomination Of
Thing was dictated by a certain party
whose name will not mention at pres
ent, but viii let the Greenbackers know
more about as soon as Mr.. Thing defines
his position III, as stated, the nomination
of Mr.. Thing WIS dictated in place of
Mr.. White, it is time for the Grccnback-

The English in Alexandria.


The English have captured the covet-
ed forts that guard Alexandria, and that
city. Arabi Bey and the Arabs under
his command have left the place and
withdrawn to the interior whe.e British
ron-cads cannot molest nor make them
afraid. The seizure Of Alexandria was
holiday task to the leading naval power
of the world, and will be retained without
much difficulty. Its possession gives Great
Britain the only naval post she needed to
secure her connections with the SueZ
Canal. She held Gibraltar, the gate of
the Mediterranean, and Malta, and Cyprus
Islands that command the great inland
sea, She now holds Alexandria, and has
made the new route to India secure. The
Suez Canal, built by French enterprise
is now entirely under British control. The
security Of British interests in that i'm
portant waterway is all that England is
ostensibly contendlng for.

The number of Coc0anut trees at the
great Cocal OF Nariya, the property OF the

1t has yet IL years to run. The great
length OF the cocal (13 miles, long mar
row ribband Of land enclosed between q
lagoon at the back and an eyer-burstlng
surf in 'front.' is a main cause OF It's unpro-
ftableness. When the young trees bear,
the annual crop Of nuts IS expected 10
reach 2,00o, 600. The Ortoir8 end OF the
property has good soil, grows fine healthy
trees, is much wider, has plenty OF hardwood
timber OH it, and the work is consequently
within a moderate compass. This part OF
the property contains a forest OF balata,
and the facilities for shipping the nuts are
better; so that altogether, this end Of the
CocaI offers a fair prospect, if any does, OF
romunerating a lessee. G000 trees planted
by Mr.. Feez in this tract are declared to
be the very finest on the whole property.

Dynamite accident i'm Jamaica.

An accident occurred on the 25th on the
Ewarton Extension Railway line, near the
Angels Station, by the explosion OF
dynamite.
The facts as briefly telcgraphed are,
that b0rings had been made ana rocks
blasted two weeks ago, a large boulder
which was then blasted from the mann
rock contained a charge OF dyn amlte
which had not exploded. This boulder
remained where it fell for q fortnight with
out anyone suspecting that it concealed q
charge Of dynamite. Yesterday the tore
MAJ in charge sent a labOurer to break up
the boulder and emovo it, when on hit
ting it with his sledge, the concusslon OK
ploded the charge, and five men and tour
women were injured. We are happy 10
report that no deaths occurred, and
that only two of the sufferers are seriously
injured, and strong hopes are entertained
of their recovery. a coincidence worth
recording, is that the man that stood on
the boulder and struck the blow escaped
uninjured. Every care has been taken OF
the unfortunate ones, they having been
placed under the care of DR.. Martyr.
Mr.. GIN. Campbell of Messrs. Reid and
Mckay gave all necessary instructions for
their care and comfort.
No blame can be attached to any one,
as on inquiry we learn that the blasting
by dynamite is confded to the care of an
experienced man who has been accustomed
to it's use for the past twelve years, and
the fact of a charge remaining in a mass
of rock, blasted from the main body and
lying on the ground for two weeks, could
not have been suspected. That every
caution and care are taken i'll the use of
this explosive article, is proven by the
fact that this is the first accident that has
occurred on the line since it's commence
