Pnmpkins Amonr the Com

Pumpkins Among the Corn.
In siumDerous autumn weather
ventOIed iOTsh one lovely morn,
70 see the pumpkins lying
6OIden yellow among the corn
A pleasant baDbling breath Of winds
Came drifting sweetly thrO' tie corn,
And ali along the line OF stalks
IUstliDg breath was softly borne
And for one moment dim and sweet
The sunlight soitened IN It's fall,
While from the beds of grasses came
A mourUiul ring doves cooling call.
Some Cawing crows and pirate .aTks
Were almost ehatteringly intent
On taking peif from open field
without q thought OF titne or rent
And up the corn rows far heard
A sound OF wheels and mems deep talk
Voices freSh and strong and rough:
paused 10 hear them In my walk.
But soon wheeled and FASTENED on
The sun warm that autumn morn
And stumbled needless twenty times
over the pumpkins among the corn.
And soon reached the working ihrong
Who meTTily all that while
Among the pumpkins big and round
Had garnered each golden pile.
The rich corn lay in russell heaps,
The TOOmy wagon bed was fun,
And half the labOrers Struggled on
The yet ungarnered ears 10 pull.
Seuds OF cumulOus clouds sailed out
Around the rim OF heaven
The farmer wiped his weary brow
And thought 'twouid rain fore even"
All ne, ] ween what trials will come,
What oreary breathS from morn 10 morn.
Ere once again ! see them lying
Golden pumpkins among the corn!
q workers in the fields of earth
tillers Of the gTimv soil,
Your labor with our veal is wrought
You make the Nations pot 10 boil

Ye royal arbilers OF half Our needs,
Then write your annals IN your grains
And garner golden seeds.

The Pekin is the largest in size, and the

Aylesburys are the better layers on an aver
age. The Rouens are the most beautiful and
attractive, while the common puddle duck
is the hardest. The Muscoyey is large
breed, but its rank flavor of flesh has been
an obstacle to its popularity. Crossed on
other kinds, however, it answers well, but
the progeny will be sterile.

Doe, Lightning Strike the Pine!

1t has been often said by the so-called
wise old Say Sos" in this locality that
the lightning neUer strikes a pine tree;
but the fact was very conclusively de-
monstrated to the contrary to-day at
this place-Mr. James Fenwick's. Mr..
Fenwick's place is the n adjoining
that of Admiral Lees. Just after one
o'clock p. m, the storm passed directly
over Mr.. F.'s house from the northeast,
and soon after a vivid flash of lightning
came, which struck two pine trees only
ten or twelve feet from his house. A
part of he electricity passed down the
trees into the ground, tearing off great
strips of bark and cutting a groove into
the trees for some distance just before
it passed off into the ground. The rest
of it followed a wire clothes-line at
tached to one of the trees to the other
end of the wire and then passed down a
cedar post to which the wire was at
tached into the ground. 1t split the
post the whole length and broke off
large pieces from it. 1t was a very
narrow escape for the house, for if the
cloud had discharged a moment sooner
it would certainly have hit the house
and perhaps have done a great deal of
damage. There are quite a number of
Washington people spending the sum-
mer here, and all who were at the house
were very much alarmed, and also the
animals. The horses in the stable near
tried to break away and run, the flash
was so vivid and the report so loud

Confederate Bonds.

A broker who has purchased large
amounts of the Confederate fur
nishes this explanation of the apparent
European lunacy on this subject: 1.-The
reports of the Treasury Agents OF the
United States some time after the close
of the Rebellion showed that there was
deposited in the Bank of England and
in banks of France, Holland and Belgium
81, 600, 900 belonging to the Confederate
Government, the proceeds of the sale OF
cotton. This money was pledged to pay
the interest on the Confederate loan.
The January interest of 1865 was paid,
and money was set apart to pay the
coupons for the July interest when the
Rebellion collapsed. The European
syndicate of bankers is seeking to obtain
all the Confederate bonds for the pur-
pose only of collectin the July,
1865, coupons, with accumulated
interest resulting from non-pay-
ment. The talk about attempt
ing to boycott the Southern States, Oh to
collect the principal of the bonds, or
any interest-coupons after that month
July, 1869 is shere nonsense. But
this syndicate has good legal advice that
the money set apart for a specific pur-
pose-namely: the payment OF the July
coupons, must be paid on the presenta.
ton of that coupon, and if you will in
| quire you will observe that all the orders
to brokers to purchase the Confederate
bonds specify that they must contain the
July coupon and must not be mutilated
A bond presented without the July cou
pom would not be purchased, and that if
Ill there is in the Confederate bono
story. The European syndicate intends
to secure, if it can, these 81, 900, 600 tt
the credit of the Confederate States
Government in European banks. and /
proposes to do this in the only way tina
it possibly can, if it can do it in tina
way, by presenting these coupons TO
payment. If the syndicate does no
succeed, the European banks will b.
$11, 600, 600 ahead, as there is no doub
that that amount of cash to the credit o
the Confederate States is deposited there
It is a fact that the report presented t.
the Treasury Department some tim
after as to the Confederate assets i
Europe contained the item of $1,000

-, MischievOus Malaria.

To say that malaria is m,ischievous
is to put it very mildly. 1t is allthat
and more. 1t is cunning, deceitful,
treacherous, sly, and underhanded.
1t does its work in the dark, and in
such a sly way that much of the mis-
chief is done before it is discovered.
1t saps the foundations of a healthy
system. 1t robs the blood ofits vital
ity, demoralizes the liver, confounds
the stomach, and makes the victim
wish he were in his grave. 1t is sad
to see peoplesit downin their misery,
content to be the victims of mischiev-
Gus malaria, and thinking that moth
ing can be done for them. The power
of Browns IRON BITTERs over the
mischiefs of malaria has been so am
ply proved that there is no reason
why anybody who can procure a
bottle of this Prince of TONES shall
suffer. Great is the power of malaria,
and great are its disastrous effects.
But greater far is the benehcent in
huence of Browns IRON BITTERs.

-Fisbermen along Lake Michiga

IFishermen along Lake Michigan gan,
they can not supply the demand of the
market dealers for the simple reason that
fish are not to be had. Fifteen years ago
they could catch more dollars worth of
fish with a few little nets, close to the
shore, with prices at two and a half and
three cents per pound for white and
hard fish, than they can to-day with hun
dreds of nets and with the price four and
a half and five cents per pound. One
theory advanced for this dearth of fish
is, that the streams tributary to the
lakes have been fshed dry, though the
real trouble is the constant fishing to
which the lakes have been subjected and
the killing of ~spawn-laden fish in breed
ing season.-ChScdqo Herald.

The Salvation Army, in London, hi

The Salvation Army, in London, has
lost 800, 600, which is a crushing blow
to its finances, as it destroys its entire
surplus. Gen. Booth bought the lease
of the Grecian Theatre for seventeen
years, paving the mentioned sum as a
bonus. The property included a garden
and dance house, as we'll as the largest
theatre in the city, and had a vicious
kind of popularity. Booth diverted it
all to religious uses, but soon found that
a clause in the lease required him to
maintain a bar for the open sale of alec.
holic beverages. The owner insisted
upon a strict compliance with this pro-
vision, and brought a suit to enforce it.
The Court gave Booth time to keep the
agreement, and then declared the lease
forfeited, with all the money that had
been paid to the original lessee.

and gravel disease, and suffered with pains in my limbs
and back at times so severely that 1t seemed that I could
not endure 1t. 1 used several so-called curesrecom-
mended for these diseases, but they did me no good.
A friend of mine that had used Hunts Remedy, and
pronounced it the best in use, urged me to try 1t, and I
purchased a bottle at George E.. Halls drug store in
Manchester, and before I had used one bottle I began
to feel much better, the pains in the bladder and kid
neys were reduced a good deal. and after using nve
bottles found that Hunts Remedy had done all that it
was recommended to do. 1t had removed all the pain,
my appetite improved, and I gained several pounds in
