LIVE IT DOWN.
BY IDA c. BILLMAN.

have you made some great mistake,
That has caused the world 10 frown!
Won d you see new smiles awake,
Ger hill and dale and lake?
Do not talk, but live it down.
Have you shocked the public taste
Ia your cut of thought or gown,
You must never be in haste
With your pot Uf verbal paste
To patch 1t up, but live it down.
Are you accused Of vile misdeeds,
Like csl ing tenderiy a noun,
In your readir & of the needs
That transcend all human creeds,
Don't explain but live it down.
Have you marred some social law,
Making goss p for the town,
Never seek o mend the flaw
By words that seem rs light as straw
In your talk, but live it down.
Is your name allied to scorn,
Till you tremble for your crown?
Would you dull each cruel horn,
And achieve glorious morn,
In silence live it down.
Be the trouble what it may,
With q courtier or clown,
Would you end an ugly fray,
Take advice / bumbly pray,
Do not talk, but live 1t down.

An Episode of the Battle of Gettysburg.

An Episode of the Battle of Gettysburg.
Midway between the contendinglines
says the New York Star, was solitary
tree that in peaceful times had giveI
shade to the harvest hands attheir noon
ing. Early in the morning some Confed
crate sharpshooters had crawled out to
this tree, and were able to reckon theil
game at every shot. So destructive in
fact did their fire become, that the wild.
est imprecations were shouted at them
by the Federals, and threats were made
that if taken they would get no quarter
All at once there came lull in the fir.
ing from that part of the line. A Con.
federate was seen to rise up from the
base of the tree and advance towards the
Federals with his hand raised. Shots
were fired at him, but there was curiosity
at his approach, and the word was,
"Wait till we see what he wants to do
Some thought he had q mind to desert,
and encouraged him with shouts of
Come over, Johnny! we won't fire"
But if the Confederate spoke, what he
said could not be heard in the din of the
cannonading and musketry. Forward
still he came, and all eyes were strained
to see what it could be that he meant to
do. 1t might be merely a trick to de-
ceive. Suddenly the Confederate drop
ped upon the grass. The next instant q
thrill of enthusiasm passed through the
Federals, murmurs of admiration were
heard, and then a cheer as hearty as if
given in charge, burst forth from their
threats; and the cheer repeated, increas-
ing in volume proved that unselfsh
actions are possible, and that there are
noble hearts to appreciate and respond.
The Confederate sharpshooter, who
had been doing his best to destroy his
antagonist, had observed in front Of him
q wounded Federal, lying helplessly on
the ground between the two lines, and
begging in his agonizing thirst for q
drink; and, at the almost certain risk of
losing his own life, he had gone forward
to give comfort to the distressed enemy.
This it was that caused the Federal cheer,
and for q few minutes stopped the work
of death in that neighborhood. When
the sharpshooter had performed his act
of mercy he fastened back to the tree,
and with the warning cry, down,
Yanks, we're going to fire !" the little un.
premeditated truce was ended, and was
soon forgotten in the grand event that
followed almost Immediately after.
The next day-the Fourth of July--a
q heap of Confederates were found under
that tree. Whether the hero of the day
tefore was one of the CHASTITY dead, will
never be known.

CROP REPORT.

A Worse Showing Than Was Expected
Month Ago.
We have obtained the following fact
relative to the condition of crops in Kan
sas, from Major Sims, Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture:
WINTER WHEAT.
The injury to this crop, from the
severity of the winter, insect depreda.
tions and other causes, is now found to
be much greater than appearances indi.
Gated one month ago. Many fields
which, at the date of our last report
promised fair yield, now show more
chess than wheat, and will yet lie
ploughed up and seeded to millet. OF
the l,6l3, 298 acres sown to winter wheat
in the State in the Fall of 1884, at least
40 per cent, or 645, 3l9 acres, have been
abandoned and the ground seeoed to
Spring crops, and the work of destruction
still continues. The present outlook
clearly indicates that the harvest of this
year will prove the moet disastrous fail
ure known in the history of wheat cul-
ture in the State, and warrants the be-
lief that the total product will be re-
quired for seed and bread within the
State during the year. From a careful
compilation of the information received
at this office the condition, May 30th, of
the area then remaining (967, $40 acres)
is found to be Sc per cent. as compared
with the condition one year ago-a loss
of % per cent. from the condition shown
by the report of this Board, April 3Oth.
therefore estimate that the product of
Winter wheat in the State this year can
not exceed 100000 bushels-a small
fraction in excess of 25 per cent. of the
product of the last harvest, and about 80
per cent. of the average annual product
for the last five years.
SPRING WHEAT.
The area of spring wheat in the State
is found to be about equal to that sown
in the spring of 1884. The condition has
improved since the date of our April re-
port, and as compared with the condition
one year ago is 10l.56 per cent. which,
with favorable weather until harvest,
would indicate a product of 1,390,592
bushels-a promised increase over last
year of 81 ,4S2 bushels.
CORN.
Estimated area, 1902 1888 acres, an in
crease of 356, $50 acres over the crop of
1884. Condition as compared with last
year, 81 per cent, probable product, 160,-
$4,000 bushels, q shortage of about So
OOO, 900 bushels, as compared with the
crop of 1884.
The general increase of this crop
throughout the state gives an increase in
area compared with last year of 1925
acres, which with the improvement in
reported, indicate product of
50. 924 900 bushels. An increase of 4, i
S37, 900 over the yield of last harvest.
RYE.
No material change since our April
report. A falling of in acreage as COM
pared with last year of about twenty
eight per cent, and in condition of about
ten.
Reports indicate large crop of all
kinds except peaches in all sections of
the State having trees, bushes and vines
old enough to bear. The prospect is
good for an abundant peach crop in the
south central portion of the state. In
other sections the crop is q failure.
