A SONG OF EASTER.

BY CELIA THAXTER.
Sing, children, sing!
And the lily censers swing;
Sing that life and joy are waking and that Death
no more is king.
Sing the happy. happy tumult of the slowly
Frightening Spring:
Sing, little children, singh
Sing, children. sing!
Winter wild has taken wing.
Fill the AIR with the sweet tidings till the frosty
echoes ring.
Along the caves the icices no longer glitteriug
cling:
And the crocus in the garden lifts its bright face
to the sun,
And in the meadows softly the brooks begin to
run:
And the golden catkins swing
In the warm airs of the Spring;
Sing, little children, sing
Sing, children. singl
The lilies white you bring,
In the joyous Easter morning for hope are bios
soming;
And as the earth her shroui of snow from of her
breast doth fling,
So may we cast our letters off in Gods eternal
Spring.
So may we find release at last from sorrow and
So may we find our childhood's calm, delicious
dawn again.
Sweet are. your eyes, o little ones, that look with
smiling grace,
Without u shade of doubt or fear into the
Futures face
Sing, sing in happy chorus with joyful voices
tell
That death is life, and cd is good. and all things
be well;
That bitter days shall cease
LIZ warmth and light and peace
That Winter yields to Spring.
Sing, little children. sing

Marketing in the Eighteenth Century.

The History of Medfield," Mass, makes
mention of the manner of marketing in the
eighteenth century, in the towns near Boston.
1t was the custom for the women of Medfield
and other towns 10 60 regularly to market,
except during the winter. They went on
horseback.
A large wallet or strong bag was strung
across the horses back, containing the butter,
cheese and other similar products of the
farm. Eggs were wrapped in tow, singly, 10
prevent breaking. Poultry was carried dang
ling at the side of the load. Back of the rider
was bag of hay for the horse.
They started about sunset, and went as far
as Roxbury, where they turned into horse
shed, gave the horse part of the hay, and used
the rest for pillow, on which they slept
few hours, and started out again in season to
reach Boston early in the morning.
After selling out they returned home the
same day

DUSTY"

The 'chesnut," as a slang phrase, is done
with, frost-btten, quite, and an equally mean.
ingless word has been substituted. 1t is
dusty" Do you admire anything, from
a stylish toilet to dainty dish, you are privil-
eyed to say, "There is nothing dusty about
that" On the whole, when one takes time
to consider, there is more sense in "dusty"
than in most fashionable slang. A dusty OBJ.
ject suggests one whose freshness Is despoiled.
Just how the Chestnut" was ever significant,
no one has yet clearly defined.

Giving n Dog AWAY.

Max and Moritz were the only male young.
sters in the family. The first pamed one day
brought dog home, horrid, ugly creature
to the great disgust of the female portion of
the household. AT length the Oldest of the
sisters persuaded little Max TO take the
dog back where he found it, or give it away,
and gave him threepence for his trouble.
Max strutted off with his cur and returned 10
half an hour, munching the remains of the
last of the nuts he had bought with his sisters
money.
"Well, what have you done with that ugly
bruteS" the latter inquired.
"Guv it 10 Mortal" was the reply.

those who have an eyes to business, as
well as to beauty, there will be found an
opportunity in this favored spot to in
dulge their passion for financial gain.
Territory like this is limited. De-
mand is greater than supply. There is
not enough to go around, and a little
later on there will be none at all.
PROFITS AND VALUE OF LAND.
| had an interesting interview with Mr..
ID. s. Carr (postoffice address, Los An
gelesl, who cultivates forty acres of land,
included in the Cahuenga tract. Mr..
Carr raises peas, egg plant, string beans,
squsshes, cucumbers, potatoes and to-
matoes during the winter months. He
told me he could plant and picx some-
thing every month in the year. He
pointed out to me little patch of one
quarter OF an acre In string-beans that
had netted him lin a couple OF weeks over
800. From five acres in peas he was
shipping $3.50 worth every week to the
San Francisco market. He can forward
every week in the year tomatoes new DO
tatoes, peas and beans, but he devotes
the time to these products, when they
cannot be raised in less favored localities.
Watermelons and cantaloupes he has
ready for market by the 1st OF June. Mr..
Carr says that a market garden here
will not average less than 5000 per acre
net profit. His average was much higher.
If tract of five acres there is inteIli-
gently farmed, large family can live
nicely and lay up considerable money.
Some of the Down-East readers of these
lines who are tilling 100 acres at a loss
will find this statement good food for re-
Election. Ii they will investigate the
subj which have but briefly touched
upon, they will learn that there are ways
OF extracting gold from California soil
other than by the miners pick. Take
the item of tomatoes alone. The first of
the season in the Eastern cities come
from Florida in the middle of April and
sell from 10 to 18 cents per pound.
Thoee from Georgia aud Alabama are
not obtainable before the middle Of May.
They can be shipped from this section
every day in the year, and in winter can
(if necessary be sold as low as 5 cents a
pound with good profit. l was shown a
letter from Kansas City merchant ask
ing for weekly carload shipments OF gar
den truck next winter. The freight from
here to Kansas City and Chicago is $1.O5
per 100 pound carload lots.
Passing from this topic to orange-grow-
ing, the Worlds correspondent mentions
the fact that Judge E. M. Ross has ten
acres of orange trees at Glendale the crop
from which this year brought him in
$l1 900. He also mentions the case of
an orchardist who sold the crop of pears
from two and half acres for 81 ,260.
These letters in the World from Los
Angeles will do good.

GENERAL NOTES.
The Flower Festival here netted the
ladies of the Presbyterian Church about
$3.50. 1t was grand success, financially
and otherwise.
The high wind on the night of the
18th instant wrecked the old church
building and did slight damage in other
parts of the town.
There is an increasing demand for
houses to rent for the season. The prob
ability is that all the houses will soon be
taken. Rents are held at pretty high
rates per month.
The Messrs. Clark and family, of Min
neapolis, who have been spending the
winter here, leave for their home in the
Northwest on the 25th inst, much to the
regret of the large circle Of friends who
have become attached to them during
their residence here. They are capti-
waited by our climate. and will in all
probability be found here when Jack
Frost again assumes the reins of govern
ment in the East.

Longevity OF orange Trees.

How long will an orange tree live and
bear fruit. This question has been
asked us a great many times. Mr.. @.
NJ. Loring writes from Spain to H. ].
Ruuisill, Riverside, on this subject, as
follows:
II remember talking with you about
the longevity of the orange tree, when
you said you had heard of trees one hum
dred years old that were still bearing. L
saw quite a grove at Cordova that was
planted over three hundred years ago,
thst is still bearing fruit, very sour, and
at Seville, at the Alcazar, sew
eral trees, bearing good favored
fruit, that were planted over five hum
dred years ago by Peter the Cruel
They still have good deal Of vigor, and
their foliage is bright and clean. The
fruit looks like that which you call the
Mediterranean sweet. With such facts
before me, cannot but believe that, in
country which is increasing in popula-
ton so rapidly as ours, with so little land
suitable for orange culture, that there
can be no better investment for future
profit than such land as you have at
Riverside"
From this it would not seem necessary
for any OF our orange planters to bother
their heads about any unnecessary
replanting Of their greves.-[ [Citograph.

THE FLOWER SHOW CONTINUES

Immediately after the stabbing of Mrs.
Toal by her husband, Frank Toal, was
reported on Saturday evening, officers
were sent out to arrest him, if he could
be found. There was no great anxiety
among those detailed to meet him sim
gle handed, especially as they knew he
was under the influence of liquor. Re-
ports had been heard of his behavior on
former occasions when his arrest was
sought, and while the officers searched
high and low for him, they did not find
him until yesterday afternoon. Il was
reported that he had been seen around
his house about IL O'Clock on Saturday
night, but he then disappeared, and, it
was stated, had driven into the
country. Officer Steele ran across him
yesterday afternoon in a restaurant on
Requena street, and engaged him in con-
versation. While he was deep in the
discussion of some local question, word
was sent to the Police Station as to his
whereabouts and Officers Fowler and
Sanchez were sent out to make the ar
rest. Contrary to expectations, Toal
offered no resistance. He had become
sober and only entreated the officers not
to handle him roughly. He said he had
seen the morning papers and knew he
would probably be sent to the State
Prison for life. On the road to the Po-
lice Station he was allowed to take a
final drink of whisky, and then pro-
ceeded quietly. He was charged with
an assault with intent to murder. Mrs.
Toal suffered considerably from the
wounds yesterday, but she will probably
be able to appear in court in few days.
She does not desire to testify against her
husband, but her little boy was witness
to the affair and is willing enough to tell
all he knows.

SORE SPORTS.
Fresno Boys "Do Upo the Los An

Fresno Boys "DO Up,' the Los An.
geles BiOods.
The races at Fresno ended Saturday
and were a great financial success, esps-
cially to the sports of that burg, while
the horsemen from Los Angeles, who
were in attendance, are out many dol
lars. 1t appears that at the spring races
held here three years ago, certain horse
men of Los Angeles arranged "job
race" and took the Fresno men in for
every dollar they had, many of them
having to borrow money to get home on,
consequently the Fresno men have had
it in for the Los Angeles sports ever
since. Two years passed, but no oppor-
tunity for revenge presents I'D itself. Satur-
day the great trotting race between
Belle B., of San Francisco, and Char
ley d. came off. A mysterious stranger,
a horseman and sport, gave the Los
Angeles sports sure tip on this race. 1t
was fixed for "Charlie D." to win sure,
for various plausible reasons. The Los
Angeles patrons of the track bet more
than half their bank accounts on "Char-
ley D." The race was best three out of
five. Charley D." won the first heat,
and so sure were the Angelefios that the
thing was fixed that they put every dol
lar on "Charlie D." Then, when all the
money was in the pool "Bell B. 81"
driver was changed. She won the next
two heats, and created dismay among
the Los Angeles bloods, who had no
money left to ''hedge." The next heat
was run and again won by ''Bell b."
thus giving her the race. One spor
who, it is stated, lost $500, attempted
to create row, claiming that the race
was put up job, but, pistols being
drawn, he wilted.

I'm the Matter of Citizenship.

General Eli H. Murray, Ex-Governor
of Utah, has been spending day or two
in the city, much to the qualification of
his many friends and admirers. Yester-
pay an energetic member of the Saliva
tion Army, probably struck by the stall
wart proportions of the ex-dragoon,
came up to him and tried to recruit"
him. In the course of conversation the
Salvation Army man suggested that
General Murray ought to forswear his
allegiance to Uncle Sam and become q
citizen of the New Jerusalem. ''I have
done So" said the propagandist of the
tenets of the Church militant. s'Well,"
said the Governor, slowly, "I hate to
doubt your word but are you quite
sure of your citizenship? You strike me
like man who has only declared his
Intentions and may never take out his
final papers," The Salvationist SUBJ
sided.
