FOR the FLoRIDIAN.l
ONLY REST.
[Suggested by some beantfu' lines Of Mrs Southworth


BIT J. p. FTTz9HRALD.
There comes in each OF our lives a time
When all that we crave Is rest
" hen all that souls had most desired
When all that had seemed TO us best,
ls reckoned as naught by our weary hearts,
As gttering shadows and dross;
And We long, long only for one sweet boon,
Nor care we what it may cost
For rest-only rest.
Nor can wealth. nor fame, rank nor power,
Nor the joy or success that they bring,
To our low dropping spirits and over -tasked BRAIN
Give breath OF the freshness Of spring;
Nor care We for friendship, or sympathy sweet,
Not even for love-dear love-
We only ask in a prayerful sigh.
Waited softly to heaven above,
For rest-sweet rest.
From the fierce and terrible struggle of life
We weariy long to be free;
From the glamour and glare Of pitiless world
Our sore, wounded spirit would flee.
We would seek some far-of quiet spot
So holly calm and dark
That naught save the winds, and twittering BIRDS
Our sorrowing thoughts would mark,
And rest-dnd rest.
And the future with all its golden Dreams
And its wealth OF urrealized joys,
We would gladly :esgn, for they seem to us now
AS Il handful Of fra' baby toys
Our yearnings and era, ngs, our hopes and desires
Ale lost in one bil'owy
A heart-sigh for rest-if our task were but done
Zen the quiet, endless rest of the gave
oh rest-U ,sed rest

"A young fowl may be knewn before pluck
ing by the largeness of the feet and leg-joints /;
after plucklng, thin neck and violet thighs
may be taken as invariable signs of age and
toughness, especially in turkeys and fowls The
age of ducks and geese is tested by their beaks,
the lower part of which breaks away quite easily
when they are young.
Fuller, in his Small Fruit Culturist," says:
81 do not believe that there is one acre of straw
berries in thousand, cultivated in this country
that yields over one-half what it would if the
ground was properly prepared before planting"
Proper preparation of the soil and thorough cul
tivation would largely increase the yield of
many crops in this country.
The Townsville Times says: ''Mr. w. T.
Mckay has entered into a contract with the Le-
Conte pear syndicate by which he takes charge
of the enterprise for period OF five years. The
company have 22k acres of land, 100 of which
is cleared. They propose to put out 100 acres in
the famous and prolific LeConte pear and 80
acres in strawberries"
Leon" the able Tallahassee correspondent
of the Savannah Ners, says: Leon county has
never been in a more prosperous condition,
since the late unpleasantness,' than it is now
Improved stock, improved implements of hus-
bandry and Superior methods Of cultivation are
gradually and rapidly being introduced. Lands
are rated at 80 per cent more than they were ten
wears ago, and the Tax Assessors books would
doubtless show . large per cent. Of valuation
over and above that Of former years This graft
Tying improvement Ia not confined to the whites,
for many of the negroes ewn cattle, hogs and
horses, and more than one can boast of forty
acres and mule in his own right. One indus
trious colored man owns place Of $40 acres,
large herd Of cattle, horses and mules, all Of
which are paid for.

A Startling Romance.

remember Thurlew Weed one day
telling nae a story which was quite q
romance in itself, and SO interesting,
moreover, which all romances are not,
that 1 will venture to repeat it, mere
ly changing the name Of the chief
parsonage who figured in it. A
gentlemen, whom l will call Browne
"a friend of Mr.. Weed'O, was travel
ing to New York in order to start for
Texas, where he had valuable ap-
pointmsnt to fill. Oa his way he
met q southern family, consisting OF
a husband, q wife, and young lady.
Nj. Browne became very much in
tsrestsd in this young lady, and when
they arrived in New York he paid
her great attention, and protracted
bis stay until q friend of his, Mr..
Thomas Greedy. demonstrated with
him. In explanation of his conduct,
Mr.. Browne, siad: ~ am determin.
ed to marry this young girl if she
will have me, and l will speak to her
parents about it this very night"
He was As and the girl 10. In pur-
suance OF his design be explained bis
position and circumstances to the
family, and the girls father Gas Mr..
Browne supposed him to beg appoint
ed an hour at which he would see
him in reference to his proposal.
When Mr.. Browne went to the hotel
he found only the mother. She said:
81 have sent my husband out in order
that may speak with you more
freely" she seemed painfully affect
ed, and after q few moments made
the following astounding announce
ment: "The young lady whom you
wish to marry is your own daughter.
Mr.. Browne was dreadfully shocked,
but he was aeon satisfied of the truth
OF the lady's words. When at college
in Vermont, he had formed an init
macy with young girl and left her.
She went to the south as governess,
as many New England girls did at
that time. After two years she died,
having previously explained her po-
sition and disclosed the name and
family of the father of the child to
the good people with whom she was
then living. They, in their kindness
of heart, adopted the child, and it
was while bringing her to New York
that they sccidently encountered the
father, as just described. Mr.. Browne
went on to Texas, where he died
shortly afterwards.
