OUTWARD BOUND.
! sit and watch the ships so out
A A ...l..r. unrs


! sit and watch the ships go out
Across the widening sea;
How one by one, in sbimmcring sun,
They sail away from me.
| know not to what lands they SAIL
Nor what the freight they bear;
! only know they outward go,
While all the winds arc ialr.
Beyond the low horizon line
Where my short sight must fail,
Somc other eyes n watch will keep,
Whete'cr the ships may sail;
by night, by day, or near, or far,
O'er narrow seas or wide,
These follow still, at loves sweet will,
Wbatcverma betide.
So round the world the ships will sail,
To dreary lands or fair;
SO with them 20, for veal or woe,
Some dear ones everywhere.
How will there speed each tagging keel,
When homew0rd II Is laid
Or watch will keep, o'cr surges deep,
If there grave be made!
Ohuman love, so tried, so true,
That knows nor mcto nor bound,
But follows with unwearied watch
Our daily changing roundl
o Love divine, o Love supreme,
What matter where sail,
SO hut know, where'er go,
Thy watch will never fall

The LincOlnS and Rnnnes.

The following is from the first install
ment of Nicolay and Hays authorized
Life of Lincoln" in the Century maya.
zine for November: SIT was ten wears
after the death of the President that his
son learned the probable circumstances
under which the pioneer Lincoln re,
moved to the West, and the intimate re-
latiOns which existed between his fami-
ly and the most celebrated man in earlv
Western annals. There is little douht
that it was on account of his association
with the famous Daniel Boone that Abra-
ham Lincoln went to Kentucky. The
families had for a century been CLOSELY
allied. By the will of Mordecai Lincoln.
to which reference has been made. his
loving friend and neighbour George
Boone was made trustee to assist his
widow IN the care of the property.
Squire Boone, the father of Daniel, was
one of the appraisers who made the in
ventory of Mordecai Lincoln's estate.
One of the numerous Abraham I,incoIrs
married Miss Anna Boone in 1850. The
intercourse between the families was kept
up after the Boones had removed to
North Carolina and John Lincoln had
gone to Virginia. Abraham Lincoln. son
3
dent, was married in North Carolina.
The lnducem ant which led him to leave
Virginia, where his standing and his
fortune were assured, was, in all proba-
blllty his intimate family relations with
the great explorer, the hero of the new
country of Kentucky, the land of fabu-
lous richness and unlimited adventure.
At time when the Eastern States we're
ringing with the fame of the mighty
hunter, who was then in the prime of his
manhood, and in the midst of those
achievements which will forever render
him one of the most picturesque heroes
IN all our annals, it is not to be wondered
at that his own circle of friends should
have caught the general enthusiasm,
and feel the desire to emulate his
career.
K x x Everything we know of the
em1grant Abraham Lincoln goes to show
that 1t was under the ausp ices of this
most famous of our pioneers that he set
out from Rockingham County to make a
home for himself and his young family
In that wild region which Boone was
wrestling from its savage holders. He
was not without means of his own. He
took with him funds enough to enter an

property on Floyd's Fork, which re-
NAMED for many years in the hands of
Mordecai Lincoln, the pioneers eldest
son and heir. The name was misspeIled
'Linkhorn' by blunder of the clerk IN
the landoffice and the error was perpetu-
ated in the subsequent record.

Have A Rule and Stick to it.

To raise ducks this year and chickens
next is poor policy, He who can furnish
ten dozen eggs each and every day, and
can send TO market II broilers and II
ducklings, has business that is as staple
as the daylight. He not only will Sc
cure market, but higher price, than
his cratic neighbor. Fresh eggs market
ed when "a hours old find customers that
are permanent. Now say what you will
do. Select breed of fowls and study
them to find out the best feed and best
treatment for them; then stick to them,
and waste no more time experimenting
with all the breeds. If you have ten
COWS, you find you cannot treat all alike.
If you notice eight or ten of the flock of
fowls becoming too fat, either kill them
for poultry, or put them in pen by them
selves and feed less fattening food, if you
would secure the largest number of eggs.
Be master of the situation. Master the
breed you keep.

"a man whose hair and whiskers were
plentifully sprinkled with gray says the
Detroit Free Press, twas in the CITY
yesterday to sec about Duying a large
quantity of lead pipe. When he asked
how much mile and a half of certain
size would cost. the dealer stood off and
looked at him in amazement.
ooh, I amt looneyr replied the man.
But what can you want of a mile and
a half of this pipe, costing you many hun
dred dollars?'
See here replied the other, as he
took chair and became confidential, I'm
thinking of taking a second wife. The
woman dotes on lawn ornaments. I've
been around pricing stone dogs, cast-iron
deer and terra-cotta rabbits. She dotes
on fountains, That's why I want the
pipe
"'But why so much of it?'
Because I've got to run the pipe to
a spring on hill mile and half
away
"When he had explained how much fall
he had, the dealer explained that be
couldn't get fountain enough to dampen
a sun flower.
"'Won't be no squirt to it, eh?'
"'No.'
"'WOn't squirt foot high?'
"'No, sir, not an inch
"'Well, I'll go back and offer to fill the
park with decOy ducks and conch shells,
and put stained-glass windows in the

What the sequel of this story may have
been we are lot able to say.

A Sad Yelled Woman.

Regularly once month the figure of
woman closely yelled, is seen in Nc
pherson Square, Washington. usually
about twilight. She is of good figure
and quite prepossessing. She will set
on one of the park settees for few min
utes. while her gaze is riveted upon the
magnificent eques trian statue of the de-
ceased General.
Twenty-six years ago Miss Emily Hoff-
man. one of the richest bellies of Balti-
more, while visiting out West met and
fell in love with General Mcpherson, and
they became afianced. The General was
engaged in the war and could not spare
time for the wedding; besides the we'll
known Southern ympath1es of the Hoff-
mans was another cause Of the postpone
ment Of the wedding. The dark days of
strife continued, and the General fell in
battle, with the miniture of his sweet
heart pressed to his breast. The lady
never recovered from the shock, and reg
larly visits the statue of her yelled hero.

Between Fire and Death on the Rails.


A tramp was stealing a ride on the
front bumper of the baggage car of an
express train of the Erie railway the
other aog -~hn'n Tho llocomoti~a began to
puff hard and throw out big sparks from
the stack, like balls out of Roman
candle, while climbing the grade between
Hampton and Middleton. These set the
tramp's clothing on fire in several places,
and the sparks rained down upon him so
fast that he could not extinguish them.
Although in flames, he dared not climb
over on the engine for assistance. The
few moments it took to reach Middle
town were like months to him, and more
than once he was tempted to jump from
the train and be killed instead of being
burned slowly to death. At length Mid
dletoWn was reached and stop was made.
The tramp was observed and persons at
the depot assisted in putting out the
flames. His clothing was badly burned
and his skin roasted in several places.

FARM NOTES.
waste the manure.

Do not waste the manure.
Sheep are gaining in favor.
Make the farm furnish your meat.
Sudden change of food often makes
animals sick.
Where everybody wants to sell, nobody
wants to buy, SO hold on a little.
Apples are good for the COW, but they
must be mixed with the owners iudg-
ment. A few at first.
The British can beat US in making
mutton. There is no secret about 1T. 1t
is their system of feeding-the same as
the way COWS are fed has great deal to
do with the yield of butter. In this the
Yankees best the world. We have so much
faith in the skill of our own cOuntrymen,
that we believe that they can also make
good mutton if they try. In our expert
ments in feeding, we have found that
turnips are an important factor, and we
do not believe as good mutton can be
made ON grain alone, as on turnips alone.
The flesh made by the succulent food
will have the best flavor, and is the best.
The other will be drier and tougher.
