FARM. HONE AND GARDEN.
UNDER THE MAGNOLIAS.
SOUTHERN BTvouAC.


Reused by eIear-voiced trumpster OF dawn,
In JOY seek the golden courts of day;
Inc dusky cohorts of the night have gone
fdr down their western way.
A winding forest path invites my feet
Low winds are calling from the dewy aisles;
BEFORE me lies the herons dim retreat,
a msze OF leafy miles
Some power occult so moves me that cross
me Sleeping garden where bananas lean,
ana win, through hoary oak groves draped with
moss,
The woodlands wide demesne
4 mccking bird saIutes me as 20.
An oriole greets me as press along;
feel IN all my veins quickening glow,
Companloned thus by song.
Through iRtarlacng boughs of pine and palm,
eaten brief glimpSes OF a turquoise sky;
Below as softly as evening psalm,
The river rlpples by.
1 gain ere long the royal forests heart.
Ana pause, where proud masnolias lift in
Their wealth OF blossoms, whose pale petals
part
Sweetly inviolate.
Here in the early legrendry days,
Besides these mighty, time-detyins boles
Gathered around their camp-fres rudy blaze
The swarthy Seminoles.
And through the trembling shadows round me
cast
My startled fancy pictures, even now,
4 stealthy chieftan gliding slyly past,
With bow of stought ash bough-
Recalling memories of persisted time,
While thus l stray through changing glow and
gloom,
1 did not heed how trumpet creepers climb
Or golden jasuines boom;
But taking leave Of present thoughts and things,
voyage on years that swiftly backward flow
And dwell with those who reigned as forest
kings
Two centuries ago.

2.-Ihe Sentence.

The low hum OF talk among the persons in
court ceased when the jury returned TO their
places. Curiosity now found its center of
attraction in the prisoners wife-who had
been present throughout the trial. The Oues-
ton of the moment was: How will she bear
the interval of delay which precedeS the CIV
ing of the verdict?
lu the popular phrase, Mrs. WeSterfeld
was snowy woman. Her commanding fig
ure was finely ROBBED in dark colors; her pro-
fuse light hair hung over her forehead in lit
tie clusters of ringlctS; her features firmly
but not delicately shaped, were on large
scale. No outward betrayal of the wifes
emotion rewarded the public curiosity; her
bold, ltght-gray eyes sustained the general
gazs without tiinching. To the surprise of
the women present, she had brought her two
young children with her to the trial The
eldest was pretty little girl of 10 years old
the second child "a boy) sat on his mothers
knee. twas generally observed that Mrs
WeSterield took no notice of her eldest child.
When she whispered word from time TO
time, il was always addressed to her son.
She fondled him when he grew restless, but
she never looked round To see If the girl at
her side was rs weary of the proceedings as
the boy.
The judge took his seat and the order was
given to bring the prisoner up for Judgment
There was long pause. The audience
remembering his CHASTITY face when he first
appear Il before acknowledgement to each
other: He's taken ill"; and the audience
proved to be right
The surgeon OF the prison entered the wit
ness box, and being duly sworn, made his
medical statement
The prisoners heart had been diseased for
some time past and the malady had been
neglected. He had tainted under the pro-
longed suspense of waiting for the verdict.
The swoon had proved 10 be OF such . seri-
Gus nature that the witness refused TO an
swer for consequences If a second fainting-
ft was produced by the excitement of facing
the court and the jury.
Under these circumstances the verdict was
formally recorded and sentence was defer
red. Once more the spectators looked at tbs
prisoners wife.
She had risen to leave the court In the
event OF an adverse verdict her husband had
asked for a farewell interview, and the gov
ernor of the prison, after consultation with
the surgeon, had granted the request 1t was
observed, when she retired. that she held her
boy by the hand and left the girl to follow.
A compassionate lady near her offered to
take care of the children while she was alb
sent Mrs. Westertield answered, quietly
and coldly: Thank you; their father
wishes to see them"
The prisoner was dying, nobody could
look st him -

HAINEs' CITY, POLK CO.. FLORIDA,

fruits and vegetables. Mr.. F. J. HiDson.

Farmers rs Gardeners.

The remark is often made that far
ners are poor gardeners, and 1t Is too
true in most cases. Farmers families,
as rule, are far more poorly supplied
with vegetables than city residents
Not more than aquarter OF the farms
of this region show anything better IN
the way of garden produce than a
little sweet corn and some bush beams
and few tomato plants, and possibly
even these last are wanting. The
field crop is depended upon to supply
the potatoes that are wanted. and,
perhaps, some turnips will be raised
in the fall. some years as . second

Nix. EDITOR: The article OF Middle
District replying tc Decks thrust
at the county commissioners aims to
throw the responsibility Of the coming
District Court expenses, TO try some
twenty cases." on our Justices Of the
Peace. Now Mr. Editor it appears
hardly fair to cast al. the blame on
them, as farmers they did not make Il
living, and the people saw fit to ele-
waite o. them from the piow to a iposi-
ton where they could get &tew dimes.
Ii the people nladea mistake and Sc
lected men Innocent OF law, or good
Judgment, except so far as dollars
come to them in the name Of Justice,
the county commissioners should guard
the peoples interests, and require their
dear justices to collect costs of the par
ties bringing these trivial suits as
provided by statute, and not allow ex-
penses caused by local quarrels to be
paid by the county, We understand the
Justice court expenses for the f5ast year
are pretty near L thousand dollars,
already paddy cur commissioners, il
this report correct?
