TIE POETS DEATH SONG.

The recent death of Paul Hamilton
Hayne, the noblest poet that the south
has produced, lends peculiar interest to
his lofty strain Of final triumph which
appeared in the May number of Har-
per's Magazine Mr. Hayne early
devoted himself to literature, and his
name is associated with nearly all the
best magazines, especially the Southern
ones, several of which, though short
lived, rose TO eminence under his edi-
torship. When the war deprived him
of his fortune he still continued true to
his standard. Ills picturesque little
home near Augusta, furnished with
what ancestral goods he managed to
save in the destruction of Charleston,
has been the scene of his labors for 20
years. Having experienced all the
phases of prosperity and adversely, his
lingering decline with consumption
made him calm and fearless student
OF the coming change. The result is
beautifully shown in this poem, which,
though written two years ago, by a
strange coincidence was published just
before the writer was permitted to YER
ify its truth. We repeat it for those
who may not have seen it in Harper s
Magazine.

Board Covers on Hav Stacks.

Under the censure aud criticism of
another farmer, writes Mr.. j. N. Mum
cey in Farmers Reoieao who claimed
he had tested boards for keeping hay
dry and found them to be an absolute
failure, l concluded to give Mr. Board
trial, Accordingly in 1885 l pur-
chased $50 worth Of lumber, which
proved to be just about enough for
three stacks containing approximately
Is tons each. This hay had been
stacked by one man and pitched on the
stack with horse fork. AT the time
OF stacking, two teams and three wag-
ons were busy, and the stacker could
only keep the stack square under the
hay derrick, not having time to build
for beauty, Each stack was built
about 22 feet high. The wide boards
were put on, one at a time, and COM
mon, smooth, fence wire made to hold
them together by putting staples above
and below the laps. If the boards are
II feet long, fence wire should be
used at the ends and in the'middle.
supposed at the time that they fitted
the stack 80 closely that there would be
no use of hanging weights to the lower
boards to prevent the wind from blow
ing them off, but in this | was disap-
pointed. The wind blew off two sec
tions of boards. When ready to use
the hay, we take the boards apart from
one section, cutting the stacks where
the two sections joined. The lumber

cent. on the investment. | know it

for measuring hay to find its weight, |
weighed stack having 14,56O pounds
of hay. On the very top there was
lao pounds damaged hay. Two
thirds of this was very poor. One-half
of this damaged hay was eaten when
fed. The next load from the top hay
had l,26O pounds, which l called fair,
being slightly damaged. The remain.

These figures will give some notion of
the amount that might be damaged on
larger stacks. A poorer quality of
lumber than that | used will answer
unless you contemplate using the same
for barn at some future time. Be
sure to hang weights on the lower
boards Get man that can build

high top on. Make the top blunt,
rounding and slightly fiat. Lap the
boards an inch and use long staples in
fastening the wire to the boards.
Try the boards in 1856 and see if
they will not save hard-earned money
OF course, if you are near some slough |
where you can easily obtain long grass
for topping timothy hay stack, boards
are unnecessary, but we are not all sit |
uated alike in this respect.

The Doctors Tale.

81 was living in a little Missouri
town." said the man of medicine,
struggling along as best l could
against adverse fate and the disgusting
healthiness OF the community. Horse,
thieving was a very common thing in
that part OF the country, and some of
the residents of the county in which
lived had formed an anti-horse-thief
association. When horse was stolen
it became the duty of every member
OF the association to Thoroughly arm
himself, mount his sLeed, and start in
pursuit OF the thief. One day one of
the members Of the association lost a
string OF three valuable horses.
"Withiu less than half an hour after
the loss had been discovered band of
thirty members of the association were
IN hot pursuit of the thief. At 7.3O
o'clock In the evening we ran across
him in thick clump of bushes, the
horses staked about him. We closed
in, and in less time than it takes to

BY PAUL II. HAYNE.
Sad mortal couldst thou but know
What truly it means to die,
The wings Of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high;
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrrhonis
schools
And laugh their iaigon to scorn,
AS the babble of midnight fools
Ere the morning of Truth be born
But l, earths madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath
gaze on the glory of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
l tell thee his face is fair
AS the moon-bow's amber rings,
And the CLEAN in his unbound hair
Like the flush of thousand Springs;
His smile is the fathomless beam
OF the star-shine's sacred light,
When the Summers of Southland dream
In the lap of the holy Night:
For |, earth's blindness above,
In kingdom of halcyon breath
gaze on the marvel of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
In his eyes heaven there dwells-
But they hold few mysteries now
And his pity for earth's farewells
Half burrows that shining brow,
Souls taken from Times cold tide
lie folds to his fostering breast,
And the tears of their grief are dried
Ere they enter the courts of rest:
And still, earth's madness above,
In kingdom of stormless breath,
A gaze on light that is love
In the unveiled face of Death.
Though the splendor of stars impearled
In the glow of their far-off grace,
He is soaring world by world,
With the souls in his strong embrace;
Lone ethers, unstirred by wind,
AT the passage of Death grow sweet,
With the fragrance that floats behind
The flash of his winged retreat:
And l, earth's madness above,
Mid a kingdom of tranquil breath,
Have gazed on the lustre of love
In the unveiled face of Death.
But beyond the stars and the sun
l can follow him still on his way,
I'LL tine pearl-white gates are won
In the calm of the central day.
Far voices of fond acclaim
Thrill down from the place of souls,
AS Death, with touch like flame,
Uncloses the goll of goals:
And from heaven of heavens above
God speakless with bateless breath
My angel of perfect love
Is the angel men call Death

SOME COMPARISONS.


The increase in collections, as shown
by the above figures, has been principal
ly from the tax on beer, which has
outstripped its last summary by Sli,.
500 There has also been an increase
in the collection for cigars of some
$4,000; on tobacco, S2,S00, and in
special taxes $4,000.
An interesting decrease is also ap-
parent. This is the tax on distilled
spirits, which has dropped $4,000 be
low its record of the year previous
thus showing that the general tendenc,
of the manufacture and consumption
of the district is toward an increase il
beer and corresponding decrease il
distilled spirits.

Between eight and nine o'clock
this morning two Cinnamon were to
he seen navigating a wagon across
the creek, close by the bridge on the
road leading from King street to the
Oahu Jail. From a dozen to score of
live ducks were in the wagon, and a
sorry-looking nag was standing, half
Invested of tackling, on the road,
looking the picture of equine misery
and pcnitence. The navigators were
up to their waists in the water, and
had no small difficulty in getting the
wheels of the vehicle over the snags
at the bottom of the creek. On the
shore lay three or four casks of poi,
their contents being Tapped up by
the tide. OF the whole lately proud
equipage, only the ducks were scath-
less of disaster-indeed the situation
seemed delightful one to them.
There was laughing crowd of ma
tives of all ages and sexes on the
bridge, greatly enjoying the pdh'eS'
piJjEid, and a man told reporter
what was the matter: "Chinese
fool! His horse begin to back to
the water, and he not get out to
catch it by the head, although there
were two of them in the wagon. He!
he! he! Yes, another Chinaman's
wagon went over on the other side
the other day, and fell higher than
