from yards and cellars, and out the way places
are being cleared up, the liberal use of lime, or
other cheap disinfectans, may serious illness

Why the Boys Leave tie Farm.-"Why
do the boys leave the farm ?" walls a writer in an
agricultural journal Well, dear brother, there
are several reasons. One is because the boy is not
As years old at his birth. Then if there is hoe
on the farm weighing fourteen ounces, bright as
nickleplate and sharp as a razor, and another hoe
weighing somewhat less than a breaking plow,
with an edge on it like q hammer, and a sapling
with the bark on it for handle, the hired man
takes one and the boy gets the other, and every
man in America knows which is the other. Did
you ever stand with such hoe in your hands,
away down in a corn row on some airless, still,
hot summer day, twenty acres of corn blades
willing about you standing fourteen inches higher
than your head shutting out every trace of breath
able air, and then hear q locust down in the edge
of the timber strike up his long, strident, monoto-
nous call, to make it ten times hotter? And all
this time cool creek, not mile away, lettering
in deep silent pools in shady places in the woods,
or, breaking into merry dancing ripples over the
pebbles? And in the big deep holes, just lone
some for boy! Well, then, you know why some
boys leave the farm. Still, boys can be kept on
the farm and made to stay there all their lives
You drive a long spike through a boys abdomen
and through white oak tree and clinch or bolt it
on the other side, and then he will stay on the
farm. Yes, there are some other ways we know,
but this is the only infaible method.

Afraid Of the Crematoriun.-The SIN
says: "The Baltimore Cremation Society have been
for some time looking about for site for Gre
matorium, and it is said the committee having the
matter in charge have selected place which they
think suitable. 1t was reported that the site
is to be on Charles street avenue, north of the
boundary. An officer of the society, speaking Of
the matter, said they had some amusing expert
ences. One lady called at his office and said she
had heard that the crematorium was to be on
Charles street inside the city limits. She had
erected fine house in that neighborhood for a
married daughter and was building another close
by for daughter who was soon to be married
The thought of having crematorium in the same
or adjoining block had affected her that she
could not sleep. The official assured her that
that site was not being considered. A gentleman
who owns his residence on Charles street avenue
called later and said if they were thinking of
buying the lot next to his property, just to name
their price and he would pay it rather than have
the crematorium next door. site some distance
out Charles street avenue was being favorably
considered when q clause in the lease was dscov-
cred forbdding the of the lot for factory, en-
CINE, bone-dust mill or nuisance. 1t was thought
this might lead to litigation and the transaction
was not closed. The officers say they have no
desire to place the crematorium where it will be
injurious to neighboring property"

9Th District Items.-The present indications
point to a most bountful harvest of grain, grass
and fruit throughout the Upper End. Many
farmers have the planting of their corn completed
while others are deferred from doing account

On Monday night a severe hail-storm passed
over the northwest corner of this district, doing

D.
Shawan, 9th District.-Mr. George Scott,
prominent farmer living on the Dover road, was
kicked by a mule and very severely injured one
day last week. He is able to get about again
with the aid of crutches.

Trouble in the Hartford Clerks once
The Belair Times of last week says: "a petitoh
was filed in the Circuit Conrt last Friday, py tue
bondsmen of Capt. A. L. Jarrett, the Clerk, ASK
ing the Court to make an order requiring .ne
Clerk to give counter security to protect MS
bondsmen against loss through mismanagemeht
of the Clerks office. Mr.. w. Ii. Harlan, of Har-
Ian Webster, representing Capt. Jarrett, secured
q postponement of the hearing on the pettion
until Monday, and on that day efforts were maue
for an amicable adjustment of the matter ana
the judicial proceedings are in allegiance. IL Is
probable that the administration of the office VIII
be remodeled Mr.. John Young, as the represen
tative of the bondsmen, becoming chief deputy
clerk in place of Mr.. Ely, and having charge OF
the revenues of the Office
"These proceedings have grown out of the CON-
dition of affairs in the Clerks office, which caused
considerable comment last fall AT the end OF the
fiscal year, September 30, there was shortage OF
some 81 500 in the State moneys which had come
into the office in the regular order OF business
The Clerk was candidate for re- election, and ms
bondsmen raised the money to make good the de-
ficency. This money, it was understood, was
raised on promissory notes, to the payment OF
which the revenues of the office were to be applied,
under regulations prescribed by the bondsmen-
The publication by the State OF the list CT de-
faulters was delayed and in the time thus gained
the above arrangement was made. 1t was all well
known to our local contemporaries at the time anu
by them denied. After the election it was expect
ed that Mr.. Young would take charge OF the rev.
enues of the Office in the interest of the bordsmen,
but this was not done and the bondsmen have
now, as stated above taken steps to protect tnem-
selves against any loss that might fall upon them
through the failure of this part of the programme
at is understood that the new arrangement
contemplates the retirement from the office OF Mr.
W. S. Forwood, Jr. This is to be regretted, Tor
Mr.. Forwood has been courteous and obliging and
notably efficient in the discharge OF his duties.

Mr.. Fuller Explains.-Mr. Joshua L. Fuller,
pump maker at Lavender Hill, Hartford road,
writes us as follows, and we want 1T understood
that this is the last of this "pump business"
"Your Fullerton correspondent has been very in
correct in what he has written about me and
will give you truthful statement of the facts in
the case. I made no contract with Mr.. John 5.

ceived So and drill valued at $2.2S, leaving a
balance due me of $l2.72. | was working by the
day-not BY the job-and because demanded my
just dues Mr.. Bddison got very angry and said L
ought not to want my money until the work was
finished. told him then that did not contract
for the work and that if he did not pay every
Saturday all that WAS due, would stop. knew
u man who worked on the same well six years ago
and who informed me that there was still money
due him for the same. I came to the conclusion
that did not want to wear out shoe leather run
ming after my money so gave up the job when
Mr.. Bddison refused to pay me the balance OF
$12.72. I gave my men an order for that amount
and paid them the balance due them in cash, and
can prove this by the men themselves. This is
getting to be a great country if a man who works
by the day cannot stop when be wants to without
being published all over the country. What
have written here is the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, and don't you forget it"

At the Mill.

From Chambers Journal.
Swallows, skimmering DER the shadows,
Where above the reeds and mallows,
May flies hover light.
As ye course DER flood and lea,
Twit.er of my love to me
Cometh lie to night?
Insect mazes, softly drOining
O'er the mill streams fitful moaning,
In your wayward flight,
Murmur DER the bridges cope
Lllabies to dreaming hope
COmeth he Tonight?
Weave your flaming splendors o'er me,
Evening clouds that float before me.
Rosy. gold and 'nlite;
Flood my soul with pearly rays,
Harbinger of halcyOn days
COmeth he Tonight!
Flowers that lade the zephyr's feetness
With the burden of your sweetness,
Cheer me calm and bright.
Sweet as you my thoughts shall spring,
When his soft t-iOngued whispering
Breathes O'er me tonight.
Fickle he as swallows glanclng;
Waving as the May fly's dancing
In the waning light!
Flimsy rs the clouds above,
Frail rs petals sll his love.
Where is he to- night?
He is here! My home bound swallow;
True TO me as May flies follow
Streamlets to allght.
Far as skies in sunset hours.
Sweeter far than honeyed flowers,
Comes my love tonight!

T Rose.

[From the Chicago News.l
Since the days of old Adam the welkin has
rupg :l
With he praises of sweet scented posies,
And poets in rapturous phrases have sung
The paramount beauty of roses.
Wheresoever she 'bides. whether nesting in
lanes
Or gracing the proud urban bowers,
The red, royal rose her distinction maintains
As the one regnant queen among flowers.
How joyous are we of the West when we
find
That Fate, with her gifts ever chary,
Has decreed that the rose, who Is queen of
her kind
Shall bloom on our wild western prairie.
Let US laugh at the East as an lmpotent thing
With envy and jealousy crazy,
While grateful Chicago is happy to sing
In praise of the rose; she's daisy!

Immortality.

From the New York SUM-
From Death arises still more precious Life !!
So says the poet. and his lofty word
Is true and strong as Is the word of God.
1t finds an easy door to every heart,
And breathes Of immortality to man.
With this conception man can not believe
That, though his mortal frame to ruin fall,
His spirit, too, will vanish into naught,
In dark annihilation lost and gone.
So man. nature, and science join to teach
That nothing vanishes which once has birth.
The form may change; the inner being lives !;
The germ, the living force, must still survive.
And, as mans mortal frame doth change and
pass,
But never vanlshes, so does the soul of man,
But pass, and not expire.
For, since nothing can perish in its germ,
Mans spirit can not die. 1t still must live.
Eternal life is his. The sun may fade,
And hoary Time may totter with his years;
Still, fresh and fair. mans life of life re-
mains.
The stars will pass away, but in mans soul
The star of Immortality will shine
From life to life, luminous intelligence.
Forever and forever.

And beautiful Love, her sister,
Lies close to her happy breast.

Yet shines on her placid face,

Like song in haunted place.

The zephyrs alone come near,
And Love. who sleeps not, shall be her
Protector from all of fear.
