Home and Farm.

Home and Farm.
Life is wonderful mystery. The
origin of life-animal life-has ex-
ercised mankind for ages, and is
still the same old mystery. Meth
er science nor theology has unrav
eled it. But there are mysterious
things about vegetable life that are
worthy of consideration, and which
have not attracted that attention
they deserve. 1t seems to NE that
here is a field tor science to explore
with hope of success.
A few years ago my wife, Mrs.
Arp, who has an eye to the beauti-
full, took a notion that she wanted
the little knoll to the right OF the
front yard cut down and the earth
carried over to the other side to
fill up depression; and as in duty
bound, l began the work one morn
ing while she was away on a few
days visit, for 1 wanted to sur
prise her with an improved land
scape when she returned. l found
the little hill was underlaid with a
slaty rock. 1t was hard, and had
to be dug up with pick; but we
worked hard and fast, and finished
it up all right. For a space about
fifty feet square there was a solid
bed of rotten slate with no earth
upon it, and 1 wondered if we could
ever make any grass or flowers
grow there. In month or so l no.
Ltced some signs of vegetable life
coming up all over it and it proved
to be a crop of bull nettles, and
am still puzzled to know where
they came from, for it was not tn Q
time of year for tbs seed to have
blown or been carried there. There
were no plants in the vicinity. 1
dug up some of the plants careful
" and followed the fibrous roots
down and found no sign.
Last year l sowed my wheat in
two fields side by side, and after
the wheat was reaped a good crop |
of crab-grass came up in one field |
and rich growth of ragweeds in
the other. The year before there
was corn in one Of the fields and |
cotton in the other. So 1 don't I'M
that.
Three years ago 1 sowed some
bottom land in eats, and a narrow
strip (about one acre. with q choice
variety of wheat. / broke up the
ground the same week and harrow
ed it, and put In the grain with
grain drill. After the crop was
harvested, nothing but weeds fol-
lowed the oats, but clover followed
the wheat-a thick coat-and it
made a good crop, and it went ex-
actly up to the dividing line and
never crossed it. Five years be-
fore there had been clover all over
that whole field, but it was turned
under and other crops grown in
succession for four years. How is
that!

Attention, Farmers,

There is one idea in connection
with the railroad commission ques
ton that we especially call to the
attention of our farmer readers. 1t
is this: What they want is cheap
through rates. They must have
cheap transportation to seaboard
markets for their tobacco crop or
the price of the staple will be great
ly deteriorated. They must have
low rates on the food, clothing, ar
ticles of house use and farming i'm
plements that are brought here
from a distance or such things will
come to them very dearly.
Now the commission bill before
the legislature provides that no
more shall be charged for a short
haul than for a long haul. That is,
that the charge on goods from
Nashville to GAINESVILLE shall be in
the same proportion according to
distance as the charge on goods
from New York TO Clarksyille.
The result of this will be to raise
the through rates as much as the
local rates are reduced, and it is
easy to see what hardship it will
work on the people who pay freight
The amount of shipping between
Clarksville and Nashville, or be
tween any two points in Tennessee
is q small matter compared with the
large amount of through freight
carried out of and brought into tho
state.
No railroad in the state now fixes
its local tariffs as high as its char
ter allows, but as sure as a commits
siOn of incompetent cranks9 gets t.
fooling with these local rates
through rates will have to be pu
up and the people will suffer in con
quence.
1t will cause a decline in tn
price Of tobacco, wheat, cotton anC
all other produce shipped out of tn
state and a rise in all kinds of mer
chandise brought into its borders
Remember this, dear farmers
when the demagogues come arounC
and talk to you about ''grindin!
monopolies.-ClarksYille Chronicle

Misery.

What is the occasion of the
worlds wTetchedness? 1t is moi
attributable to an uncongenial eli
mate, the change Of season, or in
clementsweather. 1t is not becau sc
of physical debility, or an unequal
distribution OF property. 1t is in
the dark and clouded mind that
robs of peace, and FORCES the steel
that lays it's victims in a suicides
grave, and adjusts the cord around
the neck Of the condemned murder
er. Under the control of an en-
| lightened intellect, man is capable
OF enjoying life-of finding good in
every thing. We are ourselves the
makers Of our misery. We let slip
the ways and means of cultivation
and improvement, and thus lose the
power to purify and correct the
vile passions that run riot and de-
stroy peace. Man should use the
advantages before him to the end
of constructing an understanding
that shall be proof against the de-
mons of unrest. God has benignly
bestowed upon us the faculties out
Of which we may make for ourselves
pleasures or pain. Man was made
to suffer, but to profit by his tempo
raj existence, that he might Sinherit
an eternity of happiness. Each in
dividual has the power to be peace
ful and contented, and those only
who promptly apply it are deserv-
ing of the advantages it produces

graVed upon the rose wood case {:
'Je,te Hastings"
The young man seemed to be
struck with the peculiar name, and
after reading it aloud he asked
"Was that the young lady 1 saw
in the breakfast room this morn
ing?7
Leola bowed, saying
yes, that was Jette Hastings;
but the piano was her mothers who
bore the same name"
and does Miss Jette plsy also?"
he asked with much interest.
"a little by ear" answered Leola.
Nv did not think she had much
musical taste. She has given
it up entirely lately, and 1 only use
the piano"
''Given it up to wash miners
clothes" thought the young man,
as he dashed into one of Strauss
liyeliest waltzes, showing him to be
an accomplished pianist.
AS he played, an unaceountable
desire to see how the owner of the
piano got along with her heavy
work seized him; he could not tear
himself away gracefully from the
lively Leola all at once, so he lin
gered until after dinner when, tax
ing his hat and mumbling some
thing about the station, he follow
ed the path Jette had taken in
the early morning.
He passed rapidly alone under
the cool shades, the path seeming
to lead him towards a great rock
upon the mountain side; but sud
denly it wound round the base of
this rock, where dubbed up a large
spring. and upon the messy plat by
its side recined Jette Hastings, fast
asleep, her sweet face resting upon
her little toll worn hand. Her work

Voices of the Wind.

How sings the night-wind through the bosky arms
OF yon thick neighborhood of forest trees,
Full of low rroans and laughs alternative
But mainly chants, withal and pleasngly,
A melancholy strain of deep lament.
Lament, cen tn verge into remorse.
Remorse for all the noble timbered hulks,
And their shrill-shreking habtants, that it,
Within fierce moments of prodigous rage
Strewed meath the gully and Overwhelming sea.
1t seems the inconstant melody doth take
The variable tune and tenor of our lives
Upon this rounded earth. Fatemoulded harps,
Each stringed with several passions, live we here,
By wrenching blown fercely tentative,
Or nlildly-creeping and refreshing gustsl
BY gladness grief adversely weala
BY one of these are all wrought upon,
And our hfe-song deliver to the world.

head and bright eyes would bob on every side as
her nurse walked or ran and here she would

would. She was never carried in any

put out her little arms and go to one or another,

she would be as happy as if cuddled up in the
arms. AS the baby grew and began to walk, lit
tie sandals made of straw were put on her feet
These were fastened on by putting the great toe

An Imitation.

When the twilight kisses her castle-gates
And the white of her lions begins to fade.
lady fingers, and waits, and waits.
For the coming night and the coming tide
That viii bring her lover to her side.
Her hands they are white and her face it is fair,
A red moon blossoms in the Skies
And the flowers that smile in her silken hair,
Culver with love at the words she-ssid
And the passionate CLEAN of her dark, dark eyes,!
Did her lover come to her castle-gates9
TO ask the water go ask the wind;
l only know that she waits and waits
In the gloomy folds of her long rich gown,
That she looks to the west, when the sun is down,
But the moon cannot flush her PALE pale face
Till the night birds notes through the balmy air
Have died away,-does she keep her place,
With never a lily, that you may find,
Asleep in the meshes of her hair!
