Tuesday afternoon the sheriff placed
us under arrest and spun us out north
of town to see Col. Matson's hay press
at work. It works with a readiness
and intelligence which ought to entitle
it to vote. Four bales were thrown
out as we arrived and the next four
were pressed and thrown out in ten
minutes by Sud McLean's watch. It
will press ten tons day WITH ordinary
work and requires only two ,nen and a
boy to run it. Besides wild hay, Col.
Matson has about fifty ricks of timothy
waiting to be put to press. He is haul

Practical METAPHYSICS Don't
drum on the desk with yonr fingers
or "joggle" your foot by the hour
while sitting down. In so doing you
are expanding strength for nothing
strength to get which you have eaten
and slept-strength you need to use
to best advantage in buying, selling
and getting living.
Every movement of muscle, wheIh-
err it accomplishes anything or not,
whether voluntary or involuntary,
costs an outlay of body strength.
Every thought also involves an ex-
Penditure Of strength. Therefore all
thought involving fret, worry, fear, or
borrowed troubles is so much strength
unproftably expended. 1t will waste
you away mind and body. Yon may
always tell man or woman whose
life existence has been life long fret
by their careworn, hollow, emaciated
faces. They are never healthy. Fret
kills more people that the cholera.
1t leaks away strength constantly.
At last the weakest organ or function
gives away. This we call disease.
The doctor comes and gives the dis
ease Latin name. The disease may
attack heart, liver, lung, stomach,
kidney. But the real and underlying
cause had been at work for years il
the patients mind.
Yon cant help fretting, worrying,
borrowing trouble. That makes no
difference as to result. MerciIess ma
ture takes no account Of what you
cant help. Possibly you cannot help
it. Years Of habit may have made
worrying "second nature" for you. 1t
may be habit as hard to break as
the "joggle" Of your heel while sitting
at the desk. Both moyements-the
physical one o. your foot and the men

Say, is thy sorrow such2
And has thy heart no tender spot
That sympathy may touch?
Can no kind word unlock the springs,
And give thy tears their flow2
Are human woes such selfish til ugs
That none their depths may know2
"No tears to weep" Nay, speak not thus,
For tears can bring relief,
And God has sent them unto us
To wash away our grief
When earthly sorrow, pain and care
Our souls in sadness steep,
We pray to him who heareth prayer
To send us tears to weep,
'Tis true the world is sometimes dark
With gloomy clouds that rise,
And trembling Hope, with waning spark,
Fades family out--and dies
But when some heavenly vision fair
Steals DER us in our sleep,
We wake with Joy to feel chat there
There are no tears to weep.

would arrive WIZ asa.aAasaaaaszAA
our destination, but if | didn't mind
little extra walk, we could, by ma
king short circuit, see joaquin Mil
lers house and some other objects Of
interest. To this proposition | also
assented, and starting off we walked
West from 18th street about half u
mile, then turning abruptly to our
right assembled a considerable eleya-
ton, and then with stones throw of
the city, which it overlooks, and COM
manding a view of the Washington
Monument, the Capitol and number
less other of the abandonment build
ings, stands O one storied log cabin
about 20x25 feet, with small shed
extending back from one end. The
ends Of the logs are notched to hold
them in place and spaces between
them are filled with clay. The roof
is of shingle, while the floor, as my
companion informed me, { not haV-
ing time to inspect it myself, and had
the time, not being at all certain as
to the kind Of reception with which
curious intruder might meet is of
earth. Such is the abode of joaquin
Miller. A few feet from the house
is the well from which he obtains his
supply of water, above which, print
tive to the last, hangs a bucket sus-
pended by a rope from the end Of a
long pole.
Proceeding Oh our way short dis
lance, my guide called my attention
to what appeared and turned out to
be a tomb, standing alone on the
slope of green hill to the North of
Miller's house, and about two hun
bred yards from it. That, said he, *
the tomb Of Admiral Porter's sister,
and is in 80 neglected a condition that
its existence seems to have been for
yotten even by her family. Proceed
ing to the spot, found a granite slab
about 5x24 #. and about 8 inches thick,
upon which rested an upright block
Of same stone about ID inches square at
the base and top and for about Q
inches up and down from the centre
the edges are hewn off so that that
part presents an octogon shape. On
the top of the block is a square hole
in which originally some kind Of Or
nament, probably an urn, rested. On
the East side of the upright block is
the Inscription, but it has been so de-
faced that but little beside the name
can be made out. 1t has evidently
been the target for every marksman
who has passed within range Of it.
In many places the dates and letters
have been entirely shot away and in
nearly all partially, while from one
corner of the shaft piece about 4
inches broad and nearly that thick
has been knocked off by musket ball,
which, completely 6attened out, still
adheres to the stone. All Of the in
scription that | could make out reads
as follows:
ELIZABETH REBgcoA PORTER, born J-y-th,

some sort of order, the majority Of the
houses, all of which are frame,
seem to have been built without re-
gard to any particular mode and al
though apparently but recently erec-
ted, they all have the appearance of
rough usage and fast approaching
ruin, and the more ruinous the APP
pearance of the building the greater
the number of inhabitants. The lat
ter present strong contrast to the
Swell sons and daughters Of Africa,
who throng the fashionable streets Of
the National Capital and who would
be as much averse probably as their
white brethren to associating with
the sloven, squalid denizens of these
rookeries.
We soon left this uninviting scene
behind us, and after a considerable
walk reached Mount Pleasant and the
location of the object Of our visit
About thirty feet from the ground
the designer of this remarkable struc-
ture, an asthmactic clerk of the
Pension bureau, has constructed q
platform, about % feet square, which
is supported by the limbs of the trees
and several upright pieces of Axe
scantling. At one side is room
extending the width of the plat
form and about 10 feet wide, and with
sufficient pitch to allow man to stand
erect in it. The body of one Of the
trees passes through the platform and
through the roof Of this room, which
is his dining room; on the other side
of the platform is circular room built
| of pine flooring, standing on end and
covered by conical canvas roof
This is probably his sleeping room, he
having been an old soldier Apart
from both Of these and about midway
the farther side of the platform from
where was standing, was what ap.
