Are opened on the seifsame round Of space !.
Yon fadeiess forest with their Titan grace
And the large spleHdOrs OF those opuIent

/ watch unwearied the miraculous dyes
or dawn or sunset; the soft bouehs which lace
Round some coy drya in lonely place
Thrilled with low whispering and strange
sylvan signs.
Weary? The poets mind is fresh as dew.
And oft REALIZED rs fountains of the light.
His clear child's soul finds something sweet

Even in weeds heart, the carved leaves OF

A cloud rose-edged, aud ieeting stars az night.

Florida waste.
New YORK, January l6.--The Trib-
une this morning prints a sad aud exas-
perating story OF deceit, loss and suffer
Jag In the form Of letter from John
Lawrie, of Paisley, Scotland, counsel of
the Scotch colony at Sarasota Bay,
Florida. He tells how J. s. TAFT, of
Edinburgh, drew entcing pictures of
Florida In the Scotch papers and pam
phleis and how his glowing representa-
tom led the colonisis to buy Q, 900 acres
at Sarasota Bay. The colonisIs bad i'm
plicit confidence in TAFT and paid $l2 so
an acre for their land. They were told
they could grow sufficient vegetables
and small fruits to support themselves
and families for the first three or four
months and that they would be able to
pay their expenses ut the end OF the first
year. 1hae were 100 men, women and
children who came over and 300 ex-
pected to follow. Their journey was
not made comfortably. and the unex.
pected cost to them was $500. The set.
tiers reached their new possessions in
Florida only TO find that they had been
brought to desolate waste of sand,
and instead of the comfortable houses,
abundant food. churches, schools and q
settled neighborhood aud closely con.
nected plots Of land, which Tait prem
ised they would find, they found few
miserable novels, indecently appointed,
with scarcely enough food to keep them
from starving. They were assigned to
widely separated points, and sought in
vain any proof or indication that the soil
for which they had paid high price
could be made to yield the least return.
Many of the colonists have already
abandoned the scene of such miserable
disappointment, and others are anxious
to leave. They have discovered that
TAFT and his family are large sharehold-
ers in several land companies, and he
sold the 5000 acres to the colonists at a
profit of Sll.50 per acre; also, he had
never visitei the place before giving his
glowing descriptions. The letter closes
as follows. "Tait's course in this mat.
ter has been an outrage and crime
against humanity and deserves severe
punishment. He has not only by his
misrepresentation defrauded a large
number Of families of their bard-earneu
money, but he has imperiled their
health. If his scheme had not been soon
discovered it would in all probability
have caused their DEATH"

Our brethren in the East seem to
be frozen up solid. Corpses by the
score are being unearthed-or rather
unsnowed--in Kansas, Nebraska and
other Of the States OF the great Moth
west. On the Atlantic belt and even
in the South the mercury has achieved
miracles in the plummet line. The
disasters not only to the orange crop
but to the orange trees in Florida
seem TO be irremediable, abso-
lutely so as to the crop not yet
marketed and presumably so as to
the trees. Within the past decade
the orange producing capacity OF
Louisiana has been reduced fully nine
tenths and it is quite likely that
Florida has just gone through one OF
these drastic experiences. All the
signs point that way. Meanwhile, in
blessed Southern California, neither
man nor tree seems to know what it
is to be cold or uncomfortable. The
old adage runs that it is an i'll wind
that blows good to no one, and the
loss of the Floridians will necessarily
be the gain OF the orchardists OF
Southern California.
