AT the Mill.

What do you see, my farmer?
Gray walls of wood and stone
mill wheel turning to grind your grist,
And turning for that alone.
You hear the mills hoarse murmur,
The splash of the tumbling rill,
AS you plod with your oxen, slowly down
The sunny slope of the hill.
The heavens are blue above you,
There's sun and shade on the road,
You touch the brinoled backs of your team,
And reckon the backs in the load.
You clip the heads off the daisies,
And wonder that God should need 6KE
To litter the fields with the staring blooms
Ofa stubborn and worthless weed.
You are honest and true and sturdy,
Here give me your brawny hand
A singer of idle songs, greet
The farmer who tills the land.
Plod home with your grist in the cleaning;
The baby crows at the gate,
And over the hills by the pasture bars
The lowing cattle wait.
What do see my farmer?
The mill and the ril and the wheel,
The the shinglc, the mould on the stones
And the floating msts of meal.
But the poets vision is clearer,
Revealing the hidden things;
1 see the rivulet flow to the sea,
From cool, clear, woodland springs.
see the brown fields quicken
With the green of the growing wheat,
When the swallows a-tilt at the bending caves,
And the breath of the morn is sweet.
l see the swaying reapers
In the fields of the growing grain;
And oxen that pant in the summer sun,
Yoked to loaded vain.
l see white sails careening
Off the opaltinted seas,
When the silvery sunlight glnts the waves
That are stirred by a freshening breeze.
L see the storm rack gather,
That blots out the evening star;
And flung in the foam of billow's crest
A drowned man lashed to spar.
1 see in cty's shadows
A figure that creeps and crawls,
"Giye blood, or bread,' while the wine flows red
And there's mirth in the city halls
l see rich mans darlings
AS fresh as the roses bloom;
And the gaunt white face of little child
Dead, in a barren room.
Plod home with your grist, my farmer,
Nor heed how the wide wsrld fares;
The eyes that are clearest are saddest alway,
With their burden of alien cares.
flushed is the millstone's murmur,
The dripping wheel is still
And over the dusky vale hear
The song of the whippoorwill.

Berne to Lucerne left the station
Vohlhausen, -year-old horse es-
capped from its master and ran upon
the track close in front of the engine,
galloping ahead of the train as far as
the next station. Here, while the
train stopped for two minutes, the
horse got ahead. By the time the
next station was reached the train had
nearly overtaken the horse. Soon af-
ter the beast stumbled and lost shoe
nevertheless he managed to pick him.
self up, and continued to run in front
of the train, arriving as victor at
Lucerne, bathed in sweat, but quite
uninjured. There he was caught and
tended by the station authorities.

A YOUNG PATRIOT.

Richard Lord Jones YVES born at
Colchester, Conn.,, on May 10, 1867.
He enlisted at Hartford, for the term
of three years, in Captain James
Watson's company of the third Con-
nectIcut regiment, commanded by
Colonel Samuel B. Webb, the father
of the venerable General James Wat
son Webb, and was the youngest en-
listed person on the payroll of the
army of the revolution. He was i'm
mediately placed under the charge of
Band master Ballentine, and instruct
ed to play the fife.
The regiment was at one time en-
gagged in an enterprise having in view
the destruction of large quantity of
lumber on Long Island. But the
colonel and number of men, among
whom was Richard, were captured

expedition, by the British sloop of

Upon the arrival of the prisoners
at Newport, they were taken before
a British officer for examination.
The colonel, being called forward,

to be. The British officer, noticing
the little fellow at the heels Of his
colonel, sternly inquired:

young continental asked:
"Dare you fight him?''
Dick gave the Briton, who was con-
siderably larger than he, a hasty sur.

The Festive Goat.

I sing of the goat whose pensive eye,
AS lie gazes down the street,
Appears to see, in the sweet by and by,
Views of bill posters sweet.
And he thinks, while gratitude swels his breast,
That all men to him are kind;
From the silver east to the golden west
They keep him forever in mind.
They eat him not as other flesh;
They drive him not as beast.
For him there is always shelter first,
For him there is always feast.
His board is spread with the greatest care,
There is banshed all high art;
On every fence is a bill of fare
That tickles the dear goats heart. eeN =

And swallow the circus and clown.

But "chaws up' both sides with exquisite glee,

Origin or the White Man.

There may be remains of Stone Age
whites, but there are no certain re-
mains of white savages of low order.
We may well doubt if there ever were
any white sayages; it is more likely
that the white men were developed
late in the history of the world from
ancestors already far on in civilization;
in fact, that this civilization, with its
improved supply of food, its better
housing and clothing, its higher intel
lectuality. was one man factor in the
development Of the white type Here
however, it must be remembered that
there is not white race in the sense
in which there is q Carrib race or an
Andaman race. 1t includes several
race types, and even the same Ian
guages, such as English or German,
may be spoken by men as blonde as
Danes or as dark as Sicilians. The
fair-haired scandinavian type has
something of the defniteness of true
race; but as one travels south there
appear, not weII-defined sub-races, but
darkening gradations of bewildering
completely.
The most reasonable attempt to
solve this intricate problem is Prof.
Huxley's view that the white race is
made up of fair whites of the northern
or Scandinavian type, and dark whites
who are the results Of ages Of mixture
between the fair whites and the dark.

A lecture on artificial ice was lately
delivered in London, in which Mr.. LIE
Ferre stated that shitherto difficulties
had to be encountered in the nlaaufac-
ture of ice, chief among which was
this--that ice could only be produced
in small, thin cakes. Opaque and snowy
in appearance; owing to the complica-
ton Of machinery. Recently patented
machinery and appliances hal over
come these difficulties, and could pro-
duce ice perfectly pure and transparent
in large, solid blocks of uniform length
and thickness. Manufactured ice was
purer, cheaper and more lasting than
natural ice. The introduction of arti-
fetal ice had broken down a monopoly
which had existed in the market for
natural ice, and there was no reason
why the consumption of ice should
not be widespread and popular.
