LOVE SHALL WIN THE DAY.

oh, love, II life should end tonight
How short our life would seeml
One little fash of summer light,
One brief and passionate dream;
One glimpse Of roses on the wall
Or bluebells in the lane;
Then. love, the end--the end Of all
Aye buds might swell and leaves might fall.
( But not for us againl
The streams we used TO watch aud love
q Would ever onward flow:
From the dark pines the gray wood dovo
Would call-we should not know.
All! not for us the pines would wave,
For us no stream would run;
We should be silent in the grave,
Unable even TO hoard and save
One little glimpse of SUM-
Yet is not this sombrc view
or life and all it brings,
Thank Heaven the bright waves still ere blue
And still the throstle sings
And OH before loves conquering song
Deaths voice sinks quite away;
For life is short, hut love is long,
And death is fierce but love is strong.
And love shall win the day.

A Florida History.

Mention was made in these columns some
weeks since that Mrs Mary E. Dickson, wife
OF Gen. j. j. Dickison~ would soon publish a
history OF The battles Of the late civil war fought
in Florida. The book will contain 230 pages
and will be ready for distribution early in De-
cember. Dickson and his men "reminiscences
OF the war in Florida" is the title of the book,
and it will be one Of great interest. Mrs. Dick
ison is a brilliant writer and has all the records
necessary 10 make the history an accurate one
The history will contain much that has never
before been written. L. should by all means be
read by the youth of Florida, and should find
place in every family library.
The price o. the book will be $l25 aud sub

Canning Factories.

The FLoRIDIAN has had so much to say about
canning factories here recently that it is scarce
ly necessary to add more. 1t is a foregOne con-
clusion that ere the opening of the next fruit
and Vegetable season we will have one in oper-
alton here. A gentleman who has done much
toward the industrial development of Tallahas-
see has said that if the citizens will subscribe
half the stock necessary that he will guarantee
the balance. Now we know Tallahassee too
we'll to think that she will let this opportunity
slip through her fingers We are going to have
that canning factory. And while we are on this
subject it might be we'll to add that the South
ern Horticultural Journal says that canneries in
Texas are having the effect of creating regular
fruit-growing boom in that State That the
cannery pays expenses from the start while the
saving to the country is so great as to be estima-
ted at about fifty per cent in the long run. It
gives employment to home labor; it saves the
surplus fruit and prevents glutted markets; and
it keeps at home the mouey that has heretofore
gone out of the State for canned goods
