RAGGED "REMINISCENCES.
HOW MY GRAND PA AND HAD SOME
FUN HIVING BEES.
BY NJ. N. FOLSOM.

Grandpa got a notion into his
head that Bookkeeping was pleas
ant and profitable.
| didn't agree with him.
The only bee that | ever tried TO
keep was a humble bee in pump
kin blossom, and The old rascal rip
ped out at the sides while | was
holding the ends OF The blossom to
hear him "zoOm,n and he backed
up against the side Of my head in
such a forcible way that lnerer for
got the experience.
But grandpa knew he could man.
age bees.
He got hold of a gum with about
peck of lhese little black bees
that smell rank when they get mad,
and he set the gum against The pa.
lings under the shade OF a big syc-
amore that stood in The back yard.
Then he made me take hoe and
chop down the tea weeds so as TO
keep The toads and crickets from
hiding there.
He tried to make me kill the old
toad that persisted in setting IN
front of the bee gum and snapped
up the workers as they came in
from the fields. But folks had told
me that if | killed a toad my COW
would die; so just carried the
toad Off and dropped him in an old
well and to let mm sink or swim,
live or die.
Then he wasted several pounds
Of powder and shot trying To kill
l;lile bit of bee martin that
would fly at the shot and try to
catch them. thinking they were
bees. He never did kill that mar
TN, but he said some ugly words
about the marnn and the gun and
Poncharlrain for bowling every
time he took aim.
One day he told nc he'd give me
dollar it I'd put an end to that
martin. and Mr. Lewis told me that
| could catch the martin if I'd put
some salt on his tail and | went
around with a pocket full CT salt
for a whole week. One day l fell
IN the branch and the salt got wet
and my breeches legs silti, and
skinned me all over, but l never
could get close enough to that mar
Tin to cOnjure him.
When the plum trees shed their
blossoms, and the little plums be-
gan to grow. the bees began TO get
restless. and late OF an evening l
could hear them growing and
! grumbling, and a big wad Of them
would stay outside tail the dew fell
on them.
asked grandpa they Touldn'l
catch cold, but he told me 10 dry

II AM DYING.p

1.-THE following verses were written Oh
her death bed by Mrs. DIR. L. i. Coleman,
who died of yellow fever in Memphis in
1873.
Raise my pillow, husband, dearest,
Faint and faiter comes my breath
And these shadows stealing slowly,
Must, l know, be those Of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling;
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand;
Yours that ever has sustained NE,
70 the borders of this land.
For your Good and mine-Our Father,
Thence shall ever lead me on;
Where upon throne eternal,
Sits His loved aud only son.
Pve had visions and been dreaming
O'erthe past of joy and pain;
Year by year I've wandered backward,
Till was child again,
Dreaming of girhood and the moment
When stood your wife and bride
How my heart thrilled-Lover's triumph,
In that hour of womans pride,
Dreaming of thee and all earth's chords,
Firmly entwined about my heart
Oh the bitter, burning anguish
When first knew we must part.
1t has passed, and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend.
He that's more than friend on brother,
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow or the portals
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tits He that bids me come,
When lte's trials await around thee,
Aud its chilling billows swell,
Thou'lt thank heaven that Pm spared
them;
Thou'lt then feel that all is well.
Bring my boys unto my bedside,
My last blessing let them keep
But they are sleeping; do not wake them
they'll learn soon enough to weep.
| Tell them often of their mother,
Kiss them for me when they wake;
Lead them gently in life's pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling,
This, the last night of my life
For tomorrow | shall never
Answer, when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chastening rod
Throw your strong arms around our chill
dren,
Keep them close to thee-and God.

If the ocean We're Only Dry.
Boston Transcript.

Boston Transcript.
Any one who has given thought.
full attention to The subject must, it
seebls to us, have been Impressed
with the usefulness of the ocean,
and our readers, therefore, will
agree with us that the time has
come when 1t should be filed In to
common grade.
There are many good reasons
why this should be done. In the
first place, inasmuch as ;he sub
merged surface of iheelobe Occn.
pies lwo-thirds the entire superb
cial area, the amount of land re.
claimed would be enormous, and
as the sentiment seems TO be grow
ing that all taxes should be laid
upon real estate, If follows that the
more real estate there IS to lay tax
es upon the greater the revenue
| accruing from that source, and by
consequence municipalities which
now have great difficulty IN max
ing both ends meet would no long
er be obstruCi ed in their apprOpria-
tions for such internal improve
ments as wine dinners for the city
fathers, and, incidentally, tor the
improvement OF the city; though,
TO be sure, the larger The number
Of street widenings and street open
ings for the accommodation of the
several varieties of pipes of the
various corporate bodies for whose
use and em0lument cities are call
ed into being.
But let that pass If the sea
were filled there would be no more
seasickness, which is a great point
and should not be lost sight of Tor
moment. and there would be no
more drowEings, save and except
an occasional drowning of ones
sorrow in the flowing bowl, and
then there would forever be an end
to those interminable fishery fuses,
which have strained the otherwise
friendly relations between The
United States and her majesty's
maritime province in North Amer
ica. Possibly the Amateur fisher
man might become a truth-teller.
This, however, is almost too much
TO hope for.
Ii might be urged that the filling
of the ocean would ruin our shore
resorts, but this is an objection
which is of little moment. 1t is
quite possible hat the resorters
could find other places in which 10
swallow vinous and cereal liquids
and to take on their annual coating
OF tan, and it is probable that cook
ing quite as atrocious could be OBJ
tanned without the marine propin-
duty which now renders The alb
normal culinary interest so fash
ionable.
But, says some one, there could
be no shipping without water for
ships to sail in. A foolish objec-
tion, truly, when n 1t is remembered
that the United States has no ship
ping at the present time, The fill
ing in Of the sea would not affect
US; let others look out for them
selves. And it so happens that the
officers OF our gallant navy are al
ready thoroughly Injured to land
service, so that ii would be no
hardship to them to conlipue TO
serve on shore while, on the 9TH
er hand, the grand navies of for
eiga nations would be rendered
useless. and there would be no
further fear Of our great seaports
being laid under tribute by the sea-
going kings of the earth, and con-
sequently no need of disfguring
our environment with hideous fort.

White HuekIeberries.
RaeIne (Wis.l } AgricuIturist.

Racine (Wis.) Agriculturist.
One of the new fruits are white
huckleberries, which, though still
very rare, promise TO prove of much
importance in the future. There
are large gardens Of these berries
cultivated at various points of the
East, but they have hardly found
their way TO the West yet. On
the cultivation of the varieties of
the huckleberry, Popular Garden
ing SAYS: "rhe huckleberry has
become one of the desirable small
fruits, the only detractiOn from it
being the tendency to greatly dis
color the mouth IN its being eaten,
either in It's raw or in its cooked
state. The white berries we have
seen are of good size, possess the
same rich flavor that is characteris-
tic.of the black fruit, but are OF
pearly white, being tinted upon
the sides exposed 10 she sun with
pinkish hue. 1t IS believed that
there are difficulties IN the way OF
the general propagation or culture
of the huckleberry; If this Is erro-
neous or could be removed, and the
white variety could be removed,
and the white variety could be
more largely increased, it Sould be
quite desirable. Ii seems as though
some attempt should be made to
bring the fruit INTO more general
cultivation il it is among the posi-
bilities. The hucklebeTry seems
10 have a source of native habit
and cannot easily be disturbed.
