BEN D. HOUSE.


Send thund'rous sound, o cannon, from your
throat and iron lips
To the life that led Freedom from the shadow OF
eclipse.
Mock with brazen- throated laughter, on this glor
- ious natal morn,
Sounds of woe and battle-travail, midst which
Freedoms state was born!
Bloom with red and white, banners. on the cold
and wintry air;
Shine, O stars, in fields Of aZurel on the deeds
which placed thee there.
Bask, O freemenl full enfranchised in the light
of Feedoms sun;
Thank again the god of battles for the gift of
Washington.
Shout aloud till they can hear ye--cowering meath
That through him whose birth ye honor ye are
men before your God.
All! thou Father of our Country, not dost thou
our homage need
We who reap the glorious harvest form thy SOW
ing OF the seed.
For thy fame shall grow in luster as is added age
to age,
Through the splendor of the scutcheon, which
thou left as heritage.
Never hand of thine hadst carved thee out a path
to fame more clear
Hadst thou grasped again the sword hilt cast
away by BelVidere.
For for Freedom thou unsheathed it, rand its
strokes more potent were
Than That miracle Of splendor, Arthur's brand,
Excalibur.
When thy patriot hand withdrew it from the hid
ing scabbard's shade,
Shone the CLINT of freedoms sunburst on the
glory of it's blade.
Never sought thou blood of fellow, than Ambi-
tion's ghouls might gorge;
Not the sword of Freedom tempered was for this
at Valley Forge,
Bright it flashed at stored Trenton, smcke-eclps-
ed at Brandywine,
Cleaning with fry splendor Yorktown saw its
meteor shine.
Not till Phrygian-capped was freedoms brow
with olive crowns enwreath9d
Was the blade drawn for thy fellows backs re-
turned unto its sheath.
Never thou brayed wintry waters for the honors
thou mightst don,
AS the mighty Roman Caesar passed of old the
Rubicon.
We shall see the breath of cannon, when from
out grim mouths it's rolled,
To thy whtened locks transmitted, which thy
forehead aureoled
And when on the nations birthday it the flag thou
gav'st enshrouds
We shall see thy face of grandeur looking down
from out its clouds.
Thou vert grander than the Roman when he
thrice refused a crown,
Where by banks Of singing Severn there thou
laidst thine honors down.
Lapse with requems, o Potomac! on Mt. Yer
mons stored shore,
Where are urned his sacred ashes, Freedoms
Mecca evermore.
Though through camp the fields Of heaven may
by others still be won,
He amidst all consultations still shall shine as
central sun.
He whom Freedom named as Father still is
Father of the state,
Though the Nation claims of heroes now great
triumvirate
Never shall his name rank lower On Fame's
mighty muster rolls
Who so goes to claim Valhalla's apo theosis Of
souls.

SPOKEN IN JEST.
BY GUINEyERE.

In the sunny breakfast room Dare
Hilton was lingering over his cup of
chocolate, while Garcia, his sister,
perched upon cushioned ottoman,
fed the canary, and chirped and twit-
tered IN way that would have awak-
ened envy of that feathered songster,
had there been a particle of that NAL
lclous propensity IL his nature.
Where is Miss Remington" asked
. Dare suddenly. ..-.
Like yourself, tardy. She is in her
bed room, | suppose. / have not seen
her yet, !" answered Garcia, and then,
with a changed expression on her
pretty blonde face, she turned her
back upons.ssthe bird, and stepping to
tie floor sat ..uponl the ottoman with
her hands clasped upon her knees
and her face turned toward her
brother.
Dare" she said, ''for a long time
you have occasioned me a great deal
of annoyance and perplexity. There
are times when you have made me be-
heve that Lila's companion was more
to you than any one you have ever
met; yet when | think of your old
theories and ideas of equality, and
prestige of birth, position and wealth,
fear you have been trihing with a
girls heart because of her pretty
face"
One instant Dare Hilton sat silent
with a peculiar smile lowering upon
his lips, then a look of indifference
settled upon his handsome Saxon
face.
''Trifing! What do you mean?" he
said. DO you think my manner to-
ward Edith Remington has been more
than friendly and COURTHOUSE"
AT times-yes."
And that she accepted my atten-
tons IN all seriousness?n
81 think, Dare, she has learned to
care for you, and yoa have certainly
Seen more attentive than was war
antabie. She is not girl to indulge
a that most abominable pastime-a
Airtation-and I beg of you, Dare, to
be cautious. You always had a pen
chant for pretty faces, and"
land Edith Remington is a decided
beauty. But l am sorry if she has
misunderstood my motives, for, with
only dark, bewitching face to rec
ommend her, and"
Dare
There was something in her broth
er's tone that brought a flush to
Carola's cheeks and a CLEAN to her
sapphire eyes.

Ell Indignantly. Edith Remington
is lady if her father was only 6, hum
bic mechanic, and she deserves a bet
ter fate than to be made the object of
light. unmeaning attentions and
careless words. Dare, you are crueII"
"Am I he asked languidly.
1t was at that juncture that a grace
full form in black, standing just bevond
the door of the breakfast-room, turned
and glided away with locked hands
and pallid face.
One instant Garcia sat with her gaze
fixed on the bent head of her brother.
then she sprung to her feet with a low
cry.
''Oh how heartless you men are!"
she said. s'You care for nothing
but your own selfish qualification, and

narrowly escaped death at the hands
of an infuriated congregation in Mex

she answered Jelly. ''You forget I
have duties here that allow me few
hours of leisure"
"You were not always like this, "
he murmerea.
A flush swept over her face, and her
eyes glittered.
Dare Hilton, I hate you," she
cried passionately, and then broke in
to bitter weeping.
Gently his outstretehed arms drew
her nearer, and hello her in close
embrace, while a low tender voice
breathed into her ear these words:
''No, Edith, no, syou do not hate
me. Did I not hear your confession
when you believed me dead or uncon-
scious? Edith, I love you. I have al
ways loved you. What has come be-
tween us2"
She had ceased to struggle now,
and raising her tear wet face, he
saw that it was brilliant with love
and Joy.
"You are not trifing with mea" she
faltered.
Be looked at her reproachfully.

able Doyou rememer the merning

smile--''had you stood there till the
end of our conversation you would
have learned then that I loved you
and meant to win you for my wife, il
possible. All those words, cruel as
they seemed to you then, were but
spoken in jest"
A week later Garcia Hilton received
a letter from her brother containing
this paragraph:

know, were not of the best when I left

contend. It not only decimates but
often destroys whole hocks. It Is far
more prevalent in the west and south
than in the north and east. There is
no doubt that low marshy grounds,
and damp, filthy quarters will en-
courage the disease and predispose
fowl to its ravages.
In an experiment sone time since,
number of diseased fowl were con-
fined by themselves and fed on soft
food in which was mixed a small
quantity of assafetida, hypophosphate
of soda and saffron, ground together,
little cayenne pepper being sprinkl-
ed into the food also. The drinking
water was treated with the Douglas
mixture. Three-fourths of the fowl
thus treated recovered. In another
lot, simply confined and fed without
treatment, the disease proved fatal in
every case.
The great point is to avoid contag-
ion. Deodorize everything in connec-
ton with the buildings, and have all
infected matter burned. This will
destroy the minute organisms of fowl
cholera.
To Cure or Prevent Cholera.
Whenever fowls sicken and the
droppings are yellow or green, if you
wish TO save them or keep others from
taking the disease, seclude them in a
roomy dry place or coop. and feed
them mixture of OF of ground
black pepper, 2 OF of black anthony,
2 OF of flour of sulphur, OF of sui
phate of iron and 2 OF of red pepper.
Put teaspoon of this in soft feed for
dozen or more fowls. Also give the
chickens Douglass mixture half a
pound of sulphate of iron an or of
sulphuric acid.

Complicated Opening Of a Romance


Americas (Ga.) Recorder.
About two years before the war,
near a pretty and substantial residence
near a prosperous little town, a beau
tiful young lady about Il, was sleep,
ing a hammock swung from two
stately oaks in grove, She was q
and won the admiration of the pass
ers, In meadow to the rear fat,
meek-eyed cow reclined in the shade,
Illuminating the food she had gathered
in the cool of the morning. But what
has tie cow to do with the sleeping
girl7 is propounded, well, wait and
see. Across the road from the house,
the girl and, cow is a meadow, a
branch running through, and coming
UP the branch is boy with gun.
When within 100 yards of the girl,
and $50 yards Of the cow, bird few
up and sailed in the air toward the
COW: the boy fred at the bird which
| few on unhurt, but the COW received
pretty strong dose of shot. She i'm
mediately arose in fright, dashed
through the grove, caught the girl
and hammock on her horns, and
rushed with her shrieklng victim
about the lot. The terrified girl be-
came silent, and the crowd of relatives
and friends IN pursuit thought that
she was dead. The wild fury of the
COW as she rushed around soon tore
the netting loose, and the girl dropped
unconsciously to the ground uphurt,
She was picked up and on examina-
ton only a few minor bruises were
found. The boy, thinking he was the
innocent cause Of the killing of the
young girl, disappeared. All trace
of him vanished. It was thought
that he had persisted by his own hand;
but about six years after the war a
travel-stalned stranger was in the
town lnquiring for persons, most of
whom had been swept away by the
war. After long search the stranger
found man on load of wood, and
in conversation with him learned
where one of the parties he was in
search of lived, a few miles out of
town. He went there, made himself
known, and turned out to be the boy
of the gun. The people he found
were father and mother, who had
incurred him dead for eight years.
The boy had been in South America,
got rich, and, yearning for the love
of the old folks, returned to the DESC
lated home of his childhood, and
made his loved ones comfortable. For
the first time then, hearing that the
girl was uninjured, he called on her,
found her pretty, good, and first
class home woman. He put in with
a will, got her heart as his own, and
the old folks consent, and has been
for the last twelve CT fourteen years
one of the leading men of his section.
This is fact.
