A LOVE SONG.

Gayle bedight gallant knight
Rode through a forest singing
His song was of his ladye-love,
And earth, and trees. and skies above
$50 glad was he) all merrilie
And tunefully seemed ringing:
II.
My ladye dear is fair to see,
The fairest in the land" sang he;
Her eyes are like the skies so blue
Her face is of the lilies hue
Her hair like FURNISHED gold shines bright
And glimmers in the sunbeam's light;
For there the suns rays love to meet,
And sunbeams play at hide-and-seek.
And best of all, her love for me
Is deep and boundless as the sea
And my hearts best blood would give,
And all have, that she might live
For her I'd die without a sigh,
So dear to me my ladye."
".
Gayle bedight this ,llant knight
Rode on his way still >ingiug-
And this his song the whole day long;
Though bright the sky and fair the morn
His thought was all of her he loved,
Of her his song was ringing.

population of about 400 and is growing
rapidly, the past seasons growth being

are in the course of construction, and
lumber is ordered for eight others, which
will be commenced as soon as the material

ALFALFA.

Another not inconsiderable source of
revenue to the farmers of this locality are
the fields of alfalfa, which yield an
average of four crops per year, aggregat-
ing nine tons to the acre, the price of
which is never less than Sc per ton and
often as high as SO and SO. The land
is irrigated after each cutting, the expense
of irrigating and harvesting each crop
amounting to s. per acre. Lemuel Harp
has eight acres sown nine years ago and in
better condition now than ever, that for
eight Years has averaged eight tons to the
acre, net income of over $40 per acre
And in this country there is not one acre
in twenty that is not first-class alfalfa

VINES AND RAIsINs.

But while the yield of the cereals is I'M
mense, the rich sandy soil is peculiarly
adapted to the perfect culture of the vine,
and this section is surely destined to be
the greatest raisin-producing region of the
world. The roots are planted in rows, ten
feet each way, and come into bearing the
third year after planting, when the yield
is such as to just about cover all expenses
of culture up to that time The fourth
year the vines come into full bearing and

EGYPTIAN CORN.

This is planted the same as other corn,
but requires no cultivation. 1t yields
from twenty to fifty bushels to the acre,
the crop being gathered by cutting off the
tops, which look like broom corn, but
which are stacked and thrashed like wheat.
The corn" ranges from five to ten cents
more per hundred in the market than bar
ley, and is considered the best feed known
for horses, cows and hogs. The favorite
way of feeding is to have it mixed and
ground with barley, about one sack of the
corn to three of barley.

per acre, according TO distance from town.
Every acre is susceptible of irrigation from
bitches carrying an inexhaustihle and I'M

though badly mounted, he was abb. to APP
proach near enough in pursuit of tie fee

him, it is quite apparent that the loss
might have been prevented if the pay
master had remained a short time by the
stage when he saw it unprotected, or had
taken the valise in with him, or promptly
diverted the attention of the sergeant
from his pie to the money, which all had
abandoned. When, therefore, it is said
that this loss can be charged in any de-

The temptation is very strong to yield as

criminal, but the bonds and the security

timental grounds from their ~pccuniary re-
s%ponslbilIties; and the readiness with
which army officers join in the applications
for the conformation of negligence on the
part of their army comrades does not
tend, in my opinion, to maintain that re-
gard for discipline and that scrupulous OBJ

profession. | cannot satisfy myself that
the negligence made apparent in this case

The text of President Cleveland's veto
of the senate bill granting relief to Mai.
Daniel n. Bash, formerly stationed here
as paymaster, makes interesting reading.
After reviewing the circumstances of the
robbery, the president says:
1T seems to me that the omissions of
care on the part of this officer are of such
a nature as to render much that is urged
in his favor irrelevant. He had the
charge of this money. 1t was his care,
vigilance and intelligence which were the
safeguards Of its protection. If he had as
full an appreciation as he indicates of the
Importance of having a safe he must have
known that in its absence additional care
and watchfulness on his part was ncces-
sary, whatever his escort or his clerk
might do. But Notwithstanding al this
he seemed quite content to leave this
large sum of money in the hands of those
sent to him, not to have the custody of
his funds, but to guard him from violence
and robbery. On the very morning of
the day the theft was committed he had
found fault with the sergeant for leaving
the money in the stage while he took
breakfast, and had said to him that he
1.-THE sergeant) ought to have brought 1t
in with him. He here furnishes his own
definition OF the kind OF care which should
have been taken of the %money-the ser
geant ought to have brought it in with
him-and this suggests the idea that it
would have been quite consistent with his
duty and perhaps not much beneath his
dignity if he had taken it in himself.
(Chief Paymaster Terrell, in a letter
favoring le%niency, states that the coin
could not have weighed less han fifteen
pounds
when, as he went from the dining
room, he passed the stage and saw no one
near it except-a- steektender, a very con-
sentative idea of duty and care would
have induced him to stop at the stage and
ascertain the condition of affairs. If he
had done so he probably would have
found the money there, and could have
taken it in with him, or watched it until
some of his party came from dinner. In
stead of doing this he himself went to the
dining room; and indicated his surprise at
seeing the sergeant there by looking at
lin sharply. However, as he was just
eating his pie, nothing was said. When
it is considered that after finishing his

"Aunty, that's Ben Butler" The lady
recognized him, as the little girl had,
from the ,caricatures of the illustrated
papers. In a few moments he drew
forth bit of paper and began search
through all his pockets for pencil to

search was fruitless the lady offered him
her pencil. He took it with a polite ac-
Acknowledgement and made his memo

moments his mind appeared occupied
