SARATOGA.


These famous waters smell like-well,
These Saratoga waters may
Taste just little of the day
OF judgment; and the sulphur smell
Suggests, along with other things,
A climate rather warm for springs
But restful as twilight song
The land where every lover hath
spring and every spring path
To lead love pleasantly along,
Oh, there be waters net of springs
The waters wise King David sings.
Sweet is the bread that lovers eat
In secret, Sang on harp of gold
Jerusalem's high king of old:
"The stolen waters they are sweet"
oh, dear, delicious plracies
Ut kisses upon loves high seas!
The old traditions of our race
Rspeat for aye and still repeat;
The stolen waters still are sweet
AS when King David sat in place
All purple robed and crowned in gold,
And sang his holy psalms OF old.
Oh, to escape the searching sun;
To seek these waters ever sweet;
To sec her dip her dimpled feet
Where these delicious waters run
To dip her feet nor slip, nor fall,
Nor tinge her garments hem at all;
Nor soil the Whiteness of her fest,
Nor stain her whitest garments hem
Oh, singer of Jerusalem,
You sing so sweet, so wisely sweet!
Shake hands! shake hands! I guess you
knew,
For all your Psalms. a thing OF two.

CHILLED BY THE NIGHT EXPRESS"

only tramp!'' the brakeman said,
Swinging lamp, as he hastened back
From where human form lay dead
And torn on the. iron track.
A frail old man, with haggard face,
Crushed to death in lonely place
By the wheels Of the Night Express
Ne words of pity. looks Of grief,
Or tears OF sorrow were wasted there;
The masters order was kind. but brief:
Put him aboard with care"
The hour was late; the whistle blew;
Again the train, like q shooting star,
Away on the rails through the drrkness new.
With corpse in the baggage~car.
Train-men whistled. laughed and sang
"A gay refrain for the parted soul;
The engine-b bell dead-march rang
As the train sped onward to its goal.
By the headlights glare the engin eer
Had seen the battered man, too late.
Standing without trace of fear
On the track to meet his fate.
Unmoved by the whistles warning breath;
Scorning the bells alarming peals.
The tramp had waited to welcome death
Under the engine wheels.

Ine 1OOd is OF gOOQ quallIy anu WeA pre-
pared and the service excellent, the n,enas
comparing favorably with frst-class hotels
on shore.
Our voyage was in the main an uninter-
esting though pleasant one. For the first
few days the surface of the ocean was almost
unbroken and the great ship sped on its
way with scarcely any perceptible motion.
In spite of the good weather, however, q
large number succumbed to either fears or
their imaginations, and one after another
dreamy, thoughtful look would creep
over their faces and they would silently
steal away to render involuntary tribute
to Neptune. For sea-sickness no cure has
as yet been discovered, but though incu-
rable it is not fatal; although it is common
remark that the victims of it would be bet
ter satisfied if it were. Some medical
writer's affirm that it is disease of the
brain, others of the eye, but SO far as we
can Judge from observation and few pre-
monitory SYMPTOMS in our personal expe-
rience, it is most decidedly disease of the
the stomach, aud the best and most avail
able remedies are plenty Of fresh air and
strong will.
On our second night out an event oc-
Cured which threw gloom over all the
ship. A young man about "a years of age
committed suicide by throwing himself

birth, of good family and well educated;

Birds Drowning Fishes.

Captain Mclean, of the bark Fifth Of
Lorn, of Glasgow, which sailed from
Lyttleton, N. H., April &c last, passed
Cape Horn May % and arrived at Lon
don August 81, reports the following
singular occurrence; July %, when in
latitude twenty degrees one minute
north, longitude twenty-nine degrees
forty-eight minutes west, floating spar
was seen and a boat was lowered and
the spar lowed alongside. On exami-
nation it was found to be valueless,
being worm-eaten throughout, but a
large shoal of fish which had accom-
panied the spar abandoned it and COM
menced eating the barnacles from the
ships bottom. This continued until the
9th of July, when in latitude thirty
eight degrees forty-two minutes north,
longitude thirty-four degrees thirty-six
minutes west, the fish left the ship afteI
having cleared the ships bottom, by
which the speed of the vessel was in
creased two knots per hour. Soon after
ward singular commOtion was OBJ
served on the ocean, which was nearly
calm. Birds were seen moving about
on the surface with great rapidity, oc-
casionally disappearing beneath the
water and coming up again half
strangled. As the vessel approached
it was seen that u shoal of fish several
acres in extent was visible on the water.
A gannet or liver would alight on the

SAUERkRAUT.


How this Favorite and wholesome Artl-
Gle of Diet is Prepared in Milwaukee.
"Saucrkraut? Yes, we have plenty
of it. Do you want a barrel or a quart?'
and the dealer took up forkful Of the
pearly-white article, very different from
the ordinary home-brewed kraut that
smells so loud.
For the past month cabbages by the
wagon and car load have been stringing
into this city, and even in German
American Milwaukee it is matter Of
wonder what becomes of them. In the
city there are at least three kraut fac
tories, whose output this year will be
over five thousand barrels. 1t is sold
all over the country, as far as Manitoba
on the north and Kentucky on the south.
In the manufacture Of this article
none but sound, hard cabbages are used.
'Thc harder the cabbages the better
the kraut,' is the way one of the man
ufacturers puts it. The outside leaves
are all taken off and the heads thor
oughly washed. They are then put in
the hopper of the shaving machine, that
will prepare from thirty to forty barrels
per day. The white, fluffy shavings are
shoveled into a new barrel, in which
there is alreadya layer of salt. Another
layer of salt covers it, and then more
cabbage. This alternating goes on till
the top of the barrel is reached. each
layer being pounded solid by "a heavy
wooden maui.
As in other lines of business, in this
there are secrets, and one of them comes
into play just here. One manufacturer
said: Il do not allow barrel of kraut
to leave my shop under three weeks
from the time it is put up. 1t must
have time to work off such vegetable
impurities as are in it, just as with wine
and beer. | have patented process
with the use of which my kraut never
has an odor This does away with the
strong flavor so repulsive to ordinary
Americans. Kraut made in these fac
tories is as clean and wholesome as any
article of diet known, and all sorts and
conditions of men use it. There are a
dozen ways of cooking it, and some per-
sons are fond of it raw"
The usual packages of kraut are 16,
80, and 40-gallon barrels. A 10-gallon
barrel sells this year at from 81 to 81 5.
That is cheap, as it usually brings So
even. The article retails at from eight
cents to ten cents per quart. To give
an idea of the extensive use of sauer-
kraut the statement is made that orders
for l0-barrel lots are not unusual from
city and country stores.- Mjl'0duEee

THANKSGIVING.

When the grapes have been gathered, the
fields have been shorn,
And the wealth of the land has been gar

What tribute of praise shall we fondly en-

what shall we render, what gifts shall we
bring,
To the Lord of the harvest, our Maker and
King?
His sunshine was poured over orchard and
plain,
Alike on the ground of the evil and good ::
All softly descended His bountiful rain,
On the churl who had often His kindness
withstood;
And the grace of the flowers, the sheaves of

and sweet.
Not less than to thank Him, not more may
we do,
He needs not our praise mid the worship
of Heaven;
Yet haply its minor steals tenderly through
Some rift in the chOrals, if truly tits given.
Nay, hush, little faith! If He stoop to our
prayer
For the psalm of our gladness He surely
shall care.
And we thank Him, not only for blessings
For the gains we have counted with
triumph and pride
We thank Him for conflicts midway on the
For faS. y4ings wfthholden, for pleadings
denied, 81
For trial and hinderance; He saw from

and thick
And YEARLY kneelng, at close of the day.
Lord, listen, for one whom thou lowest is

And one whom we love-" has been ours to
say.
All! sometimes the cross has been heavy;
the pain
Has silenced earth's music, again and again.
Still, never defeated though often oerborne,
STILL conquering ever, our songs shall
To Him who has lowered US evening and
morn
With mercies uncounted like stars in the

we bring,
To our Maker, Defender, our Captain, our
King?
We thank Him for freedom, for peace in our
For the voices of children, for purty's
For the millions of homes that so sturdily
stand
Where mothers in honor their sceptres
maintain,
For virtues transmitted from father to son,
For all of renown that our country has won.
When grapes have been gathered, when
fields have been shorn
And the wealth of the earth is in garner

Or the storms of the winter their fury be-

For the Lord of the harvest is always our

The Nutmeg Tree.

Ii there are any attempts to cultivate
nutmeg trees in lighthouses, they are not
frequently made. Perhaps it would be
worth trying.
The nutmeg tree flourishes near the
equator. 1t is raised from the nut in
nurseries, where it remains till the fifth
year, when it puts forth its first blossoms.
1t is then set out permanently.
The trees are planted thirty feet apart
in diamond order. They begin to bear
in the eighth year, increasing for many
years, and they pay large profit.
There is no nutmeg season. Every day
of the year shows buds, blossoms and
fruit, in every stage of growth to
maturity.
The nutmeg is large and beautiful
tree, with thick foliage and of a rich
green color. The ripe fruit is singularly
brilliant. The shell is glossy black, and
the mace it exposes when it bursts is
bright scarlet, making it one of the most
beautiful of the vegetable kingdom
