Golden Rod.

q''The way is long," the lost boy said;
The stars were shining overhead;
The silence Of the deep black woods,
Their dim and deathlike solitudes.
And unseen dangers round him lay;
Great shadows rose and barred the way
Afraid to pass, he paused and wept
Lay down upon the moss and slept.
In dreams mother soothed his fears;
The night dews mingled With his tears,
And like forgotten sunbeams there.
About him strayed his golden hair.
A snake beneath his outstretched arm
Slipped by, nor sought to do him harnA
At midnight, when the winds were wild
An angel came and found the child.
The woods were blighted by the frost,
Dead leaves above the dead were tossed
Came winter on flying cloud,
And clad him in snowy shroud;
And spring, maid from holy lands,
Put purple violets in his hands;
And summer sent her birds to sing
Where his still heart lay moldering.
The sun, the snow, the wind, the rain,
Resolved him back to dust again;
Till autumn, in the wilderness,
Found nothing but a silken tress,
She wound it on slender rod,
And set it in the withered sod,
And so the lost boys golden locks
Made glory on the lichened rocks.

Heart F.i,Sr..


The American Analyst thinks it would
be an excellent idea if physicians of the
present day would invent some other
! reason for about all the deaths which oc-
cur nowadays than the heart failure. II
is difficult for any one conversant with
the organs OF the human body to under
stand how any human being can die
without heart failure, while the causes
OF the failure of the heart at death may
be very numerous. This might not be
OF serious moment we're it not for the
fact that hundreds of people are being
nearly frightened to death by the con-
slant use of the cause for sudden deaths.
and many people who are sick, and nee
essarily have some heart symptoms, are
kept in constant terror by reading or
hearing in other ways of death after
death by heart failure 1t would be well
il physicians who are too indolent or too
ignorant to search out the disease lying
back of the heart failure to consider
how much harm they are doing the COM
munity, and if they cannot correct the
habit, newspapers and the public should
avoid giving currency to this unfounded
and dangerous phrase. There are pro-
badly no more deaths from heart failure
in these times than heretofore, but n
new cause for death hns been coined,
and the nervous and timid are being
severely injured by il.

How an Tx-pre.ident Lives.

The life of an ex-president is much
like the everyday life of everyday NOR
tails; if the following description OF Mr.
Cleyeland's daily doings is an accurate
one:
1t appears that Mr.. Cleveland is toe
busy to allow his Office to become 8
lounging place for political gossipers.
He has had his hands more than full
OF work since he came to town. After
the brief Florida trip hi. told Mr.. Stet-
son that he was going to.settle down to
hard work till summer and he has done
so. In the last month he has not once
failed to eIch his Office before II
o'clock. He frequently appears at $3.50
or 10 o'clock. After greeting his asso-
ciates, he goes quietly to his Office,
which is the most secluded OF the
firms suite, and nothing more is heard
of him till about l o'clock, whsl he
takes luncheon. Then he re5u 5
work, seldom quitting before 4:30 o.
clock. Business is said to have in
creased largely since he joined the firm,
and the extra work falls on him. His
partners say they have not yet seen
him look tired. In fact, six or seven
hours of hare legal work seems to be
In the nature of recreation after his
long working hours in the White House.
Mr.. Cleveland usually starts up
Wall street at 4:30 o'clock for the
Rector street station OF the Sixth
avenue elevated road. Occasionally
Mr.. Stetson or Colonel Brice or some
other personal friend is with him, but
oftener he is alone. Few people recog-
nize him on his journey from William
street through Jay Gould's building
and up to the station. He generally
has bundle of evening newspapers
under his arm, and gets instruction
from them till he reaches the Twenty
eight street station, which is only q
short walk from the Victoria Hotel.
After dinner he sometimes drives
out with his wife to see friends,
Other evenings he passes with his
books or entertains callers. None of
the boys are among his callers.
They stand in awe OF the ex-president,
call him ''high and mighty" and keep
at distance. Mr.. Cleveland has
geined many personal friends since he
came here--men of all parties and
factions. He has identified himself
with no faction, and says to his friends
that he is just now engaged in MAXI ng
money and friends.

This is the critical season. Insects
attack the vine, certain kinds of dew,
mold and rust blight it, and the grower
can not tell from one day to another
but what disaster is to befall his crop.
Even If everything has gone well up tc
picking time, a storm or few foggy
mornings may upset ali his hopes and
give him an inferior crop. In the early
days of hop culture in this country the
picking was accompanied with a good
deal of enjoyment and sociability.
Parties OF young men and women would
pick for the money there was in it, but
made it a holiday as well, something
after the pattern of a New England
corn shocking, except that the work
was done by day instead OF in the
evening. Each picker has a box hold
ing ten bushels, with wages averaging
&c bushel. In England ''tuppencen a
bushel is paid, or 4c. With the in
crease of cultivation and other changes
of growth the pleasures INDUCED in by
the pickers of former years have been
pretty much dropped, and those en-
ployed engage in the task with no
thought beyond the money got for it.
This is especially true in this country.
The tendency has been to bring in a
class not at all desirable, who spend
their earnings in drink and prove a
terror to the quiet country people
among whom they are thrown. There

Legend for Tea DrInker..

There is a curious old Japanese legend
which Processes to account for the orr
gin of the tea plant. Somewhere about
the year $40 A. D., certain Buddhist
priest of great sanctity paid visit to the
celestial empire, and, in order to devote
himself entirely to the service of God,
he solemnly vowed upon one occasion
that he would not go to sleep for the
remainder of his earthly life, but spend
his time in perpetual meditation. Years
rolled by, until at last one sultry day
nature asserted herself, and the poor
devotee of Buddah fell fast asleep. Sc
great was his remorse when he awoke

A Lucky Russian.

Chicago Qlls) Arkansas Traveller, August
The reports OF the July 18th drawing OF
the Louisiana State Lottery company
show that one-twentieth OF ticket No.
42,75S, which drew the first capital prize
of $780, 900 in that drawing, was held by
Abraham Weinger, of 4O1 South Canal
street, Chicago. ATraveler reporter called
at Mr.. Weinger's place OF residence and was
informed that he had just gone to New
York city, where it is expected that he will
meet his wife, who is now on her way to
America from Russia. From Mr.. Weineer's
friends and neighbors it was learned that
he is a Russian by birth, about twenty
eight years OF age, and that he has been in
America but sixteen months most OF which
time has been spent in Chicago. where he
has followed the occupation OF tailor,
which is the trade to which he was brought
up. MIR. Weinger received his SIS, 600
through the Express company few days
after the drawing. 1t was learned that
Mr.. Weinger has been frequent patron OF
the lottery, but until now without success.
Mr.. Weinger has been all OF his life n poor
man, and it is to be hoped that he will
make good use OF his suddenly acquired
wealth.

with the grape come pictures of cluster
ing purple fruit and vine-clad hills.
Yet vineyard is not a marker to gold
en- wreaths of hops swinging from tall
poles and tossing in the summer wind.
/ The hop-covered hills and valleys of
Central New York, the slopes of Cali
fornia and Washington territory, or the
sunny meadows of Kent, in England,
have far more charms than the French
and Italian vineyards ever dreamed of.
There are not many crops that seem
to have but one specific use in the
world, but leaving out the comparative
ly infinitesimal quantity called for by
b. kers and druggists, the rest OF the
100000, 900 odd pounds of hops raised
in the world every year has no demand
except to go into beer. In round num-
bers, St Louis gets away with about
100000 pounds between January
and December 81, with Milwaukee,
Wis, quite as much more. New York,
Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Cincinnati,
Boston, Newark and Chicago come after
in the order named, and as these nine
cities produce considerably over one

country, an idea of the immense
amount of hops they use can be had.
Peculiarities of soil and climate do not
make hop-raisiDe possible with profit
except in small portion OF the United
States. Within a radius of forty miles
about Coopertown, N. Y, is more than
one-half the hop-producing territory of
the Union. A small section of New
York State bordering on Canada, bits
of Vermont, Michigan and Wisconsin
increase this about one-siXth, and cover
about all the land devoted to hop culti-
walton east of the Rockies. Along the
Pacific Coast the raise is now an i'm
portant one, ranging from $4,000. 600
to 15,000,000 pounds annually. In
England hop-growing Is as good as ex-
clusively confined to the County of
Kent, where 10000 acres out of the
Kingdoms $1,000 are given to hops.
Take look at the methods OF hop
growers in the United States and Eng
land. The vines are stan ted from the
roots taken from an old hop yard. The
hills are laid off in squares of Z feet.
The first year there is no return. The
second spring brings the training of the
vines. 1t was formerly customary to
pole every hill, making quite an item
of expense for a big farm; but now from
a central pole strings are led out to
cover an extensive area, the result be-
ing as satisfactory as with individual
poles. The vine has no clinging ten
drills like ''that rare old plant the ivy
green" but partakes more OF the nature
of bean stalk, albeit singularly enough
taking an opposite course in its journey
up the pole, going with the sun from
east to west while the bean, from the
days of Jack until now. takes il twist in
the opposite direction. By the last of
July the vine has reached It's full
growth, and the little cones begin to
form, after the blossoming, which con-
tain the lupuline destined to tone and
strengthen the beer or ale of the future.

nip of liquor now and then. Almost
invariably he will in such case yield to
the drowsy influence of the hops and
bottle and go to sleep. The.fires either
then go out or heat up until some o.

1t is claimed no product of the soil
varies more in price than the hop.

Worlds be large in the same season and

the demand that would bring values

1871 and 1878 the crop was marketed

1883 there was a scarcity feared, and
quotations scared to over 81. 1t is not
