I CUT THE CORN.
BY EDWARD ABRAM VALENTINE.

cut the corn, the yellow drilling corn, That marches to the music Of the morn; Above. tae castle lowers on the crag, And casts the shadows Of its iutterIng flag; labor here from purple peep of morn, I only cut the corn.
 The castle court resOundS with festal din, Wide portals show the reyelTy within. And thither brightly burne athwart my view lover prince and all hrs retinue, While mp the road foreruns the winding horn. l only cut the corn.
 The lord rides out against the western skies l follow through the dust with shaded eyes; He carols tO his horses lively tread, A helmet plumed upon his naughty head. Devices brave his silver targe adorn. And IT cut the corn. The great lords daughter down the pathway
 trips.
 A half-unworded song upon her lips; A greyhound guards the whteness of her hand. Her velvet yestments brush me where 1 stand How proudly falri think l almost mourn l only cut the corn.
 The lord, a cOrse borne from the battlefield Comes slowly by upon his battered shield: The castle in the grave of gloom is laid, The lady by her lover is betrayed. And m my heart dwellS no disease or sorrow That but cut the corn. -Erchan0e.

An Extinct Race.
Florida Times [ nion.


 They are passing away-the old fashioned negroes of the dRte belluna southland the places which knew them once will soon know them no more forever. They will, in a few years, be entirely supplanted by a progeny little like their ancestors. The old plantation-"de white folks house"-the happy negro quarters the family ties which bound the two races together in bonds of affection and tender consideration which one must have experienced to appreciate gone, all gone!
 Old massa, old missus, and the young massas and misses. What & happy familyl And who, than the old family servants, ever mourned with unfeigned grief the breaking up of the family when "ole massa" died? Alas, it always fell upon the former with & bitterness born of the uncertain fate which awaited them afterwArd.
 But they are fast dying out; the old plantation songs have faded from lips on which alone they were once SO musical, which no other conditions may ever realize. Did you ever see the long line of family fifty or 8 hundred or more-follow the coffin which bore "ole massa" to his last resting place?

"Massa's in de cold. cold ground"
 Talk about the negro dialect No writer kas ever approximated it un- less he was born and reared on the old southern plantation from ohild- hood to age.
 And Christmas times "befo' de war. ]" The happy hearts in the "negro quar. ters" were up and singing like the lark before the dawn of day, for the "aunts" and "uncles"-those monarchs of that realm which has no succession had been awake half the night "waitin' for Christmas"
 We're those the days of slavery and barbarism, when white and black alike were happy only because they were ignorant?
 But who would exchange these brand new days for the old? These days when the "colored ladies and gentlemen" wear bangs, or carry a razor or the cigarette?
 Still, it is sad to think of & complete dying out of race, one of the most interest: ng in the annals of time-one peculiar to itself, and which can never be reproduced. As the Indian passed beyond the Rocky Mountains to die away on the western plains, SO this race, as it was known of yore, is pass ing over the dividing ridge of the two generations, to be known no more.

There is reason in everything, but not

clean, sweet, pure and wholesome without
either injuring the fabric or the hands of the
laundress. If these objects can be attained,
it does not matter as to what methods are
used, and the soap or soap powder, no mat

most varied methods of use is the handiest
Some things, however. are important to
observe. The dirt and all soap must be en-
tirely removed from the interstices of the
clothes I'd all microbes must be destroyed.
The only and easiest way to do this 10 by
heating the water in which the clothes are
contained to the boiling point. The boiling
water, by constant self agitation, is forced
through the interstices of the fabrics, and
thus cleanses them from dirt and disease
breeding microbes. as they can be cleansed
in no other way-and without in any man.

To Make Good Citizens.

Those who doubt the expedency OF
necessity for compulsory education
should ponder the testimony given by
Rev. Mr.. Carr, of the Italian Mission, be-
fore the Working W oman's Society last
week in New FORK. Being asked to give
his opinion of compulsory education,
the Italian clergyman said
have been trying for years to get my
Italian children to go TO school. They run
the streets and are a nuisance. They learn
everything that is bad. There are 20 600
Italians 10 the Southeast corner of the city.
That means 5000 children. When they
come to this country they are very good.
They run the streets and become thieves
gamblers and pickpockets before they are
IL years old The padrone system does not
exist here any more 1t is now the cruelty
of the parents, Yes have compulsory
education. 1t is the only salvation for the
children. They will either be your welfare
