APART from the bubble and quarrel

Looked placidly down.
We talked in 4 lull 'twiNt the dances,
That frolicsome holiday time,
Of parties, mud plays, and romnnces,
Till we drifted ut last into rhyme,
And heard her-supremest of pleasures
With clear meditation repeat
From Aldrich my favorite measures,
Surprisingly sweet.
murmurous ripple of laughter
Broke in when L called them divine;
6he pulsed for moment. and utter
She quoted ditty of mine
love song, which, though concealed it,
Set all of my pulses astir.
And which, though ne'er hnd revealed it,
Was written to her.
What was it ?-thc hour with its glamour.
The perfume, the lights burning low,
The violins rhythnicnl clalnor,
The mellow and musical flow
Of her voice, with it's depth of expression,
That led me TO boldly confess?-
ALI! that and what followed confession
leave you to guess.

Life After Forty.

The best half of life is in front of the
man of forty, if he be anything of a
man. The work he will do will be
done with the hand of a master, and
not of raw apprentice. The trained
intellect does not see "men. as trees
walking" but sees every thing clear
ly, and in just measure. The trained
temper does not rush at work like a
blind bull at haystack, but advances
with the calm and ordered pace of
conscious power and deliberation. To
no man is the world so new and the
future so fresh, as to him who has
spent the early years of his manhood
in striving to understand the deeper
problems of science and life, and who
has made some Roadway toward COM
pretending them.
To him the commonest things are
rare and wonderful, both in them
selves and as parts of a beautiful and
intelligent whole. Such a thing as
a staleneSS in life and its duties he
cannot understand. knowledge is
always opening out before him in
wider expanses and more command
ing heights. If he be a doctor, he
finds, for example, that the fresh
study of one of the organs of the hui
man body yieldsa pleasure and an
enlightment which it never yielded
before; he sees the wonders of minute
structure with new powers of COM
parison; he marks the relations that
subsist between different organs with
fresh comprehension and delight; he
sees possibilities of development and
restoration which never struck him
in his earlier studies; the various
parts of the body, and the whole Of
the organism in relation to its pow.
ers, its functions, and its environ
ment, constitute a miracle, the won
derfulness of which knows no end
Pleasures Of growing knowledge and
increasing power in its peculiar field
of work, makes every year of his life
happier and more hopeful than the
past.

The Forked Deer Canal.
Special to the American.

Special to the American.
JACKSON, Aug. 16.-Chairman r..
A. Allison of the Mississippi and
Tennessee River Canal Commission,
has received letter from Capt. j. J..
Williams, Chief Engineer, who is
surveying the proposed routes, in
which the Engineer expresses great
confidence in the feasibility of the
canal scheme. The route from the
Forked Deer to the Tennessee River
has already been surveyed and the
route between the Tennessee and
Hatchie is now being surveyed. The
Wing of this city, suggests that the
State convicts be employed in dig
ging the canal, and when the canal is
completed the tolls would probably
furnish a permanent fund nearly suf-
ticient to keep the convicts in future.
The Wing also suggests that the con-
victs after digging this canal could be
employed on the road system. of
Tennessee and in building and APP
plan highway entirely across the
State to which all roads in the State
should point.

While the Day Lasts.

1t will not last long. Your day,
my day, the worlds day, the day of
opportunity, the day of grace, the
day of salvation-all days are swiftly
passing away, and the great day, the
last day, will surely and speedily
come. Now there is opportunity for
us to work; by and by the time will
be absent. While it is day we may
work the work of God, and do
what he has commanded us; but if
we idle this present opportunity
away, it will never return, and the
neglect of today may never be re-
paired. Tomorrow will bring the
work for tomorrow, and every day
and every year will bring its appro-
pirate duties. Let the work of today
be done today, and then we may
calmly await the coming of the NOR
row, if the morrow shall ever come.

Remarkable Vitality of Seed.


1t has been claimed that seed taken
from ancient Egyptian tombs are
capable of growth, but proof of the
claim is lacking. 1t has been demon
strated, however, that seeds of very
great age are capable of development.
RaspberrieS have been raised from
seed taken from the stomach of a
man who died during the time of
the Emperor Hadrian, who reigned
in the second century Of our era.
Think of it, a seed springing into
new life after lying dormant sixteen
centuries!

THE SOMEWHERE OF OUR
DREAMS.

Oh the somewhere Of our dreams
With its valleys and its streams,
With its purple skies and golden
sheen and shine;
With its green and waving trees,
With its soft and signing breeze,
With its melodies of heaven
half divine.
Oh the somewhere OF our dreams,
Does it lie where jasper CLEANS,
On the sweet expectant faces
of our lost?
Does it touch that far off land
Where the fair and glowing strand
Give us welcome when the river
we have crost?
Oh the somewhere of our dreams,
In its nearness to us seems
But journey where the
ending shall stone
For the envies, hates and fears
For the weary, troubled years,
For all the trials we have
borne all alone.
Oh the somewhere of our dreams,
How its visions softly beams
And comforts when we
weary of the way
We shall find it soon or late
We shall ope the barring gate
And that somewhere all
our sorrows will repay.

A Train Out of 0neTree.

San Francisco Examiner.
The Tulare people are going to eX-
hibit one of the results of the Cali
fornia climate in an altogether origi-
nal way.
There is a tree in that county
which is fair specimen of what the
redwood can be fit grows enough.
1t stands in a gorge deep enough to
be awful, and its topmost boughs,
where the cones are thickest, are on
a level with the highest rocks on the
sides of the ravine.
1t is not cut yet, so the measure
ments so far taken may be at fault
a bit, one way or the other, but they
are near enough to the truth to make
safe betting.
The tree is 800 feet high, 96 feet
from the butt to the first branch, and
26 fet through at the very base.
A log of clean, smooth wood that
will measure 80 feet in length and
average 20 feet in diameter can easily
be cut out of it.
That is what the Tulare people pro,
pose to do, and having the log they
will utilize it to the benefit of the
Worlds Fair and the glory Of
Tulare.
The tree grows we'll up toward the
head waters of the Kaweah River,
and the great log will have to be car
ried or moved in some way to the
railroad at Visalia, a distance Of
nearly sixty miles.
1t is a stupendous undertaking
but the people Of that country do not
stop at trifies. In all likelihood the
trunk will be cut in sections length
wise, and then the sections will bt
put on trucks and taken over the los
road. Ok teams will do the hauling
probably a score of span to the Sec
ton.
In many places a road will have Il
be cut through and built up. Crooks
and turns and precipitous slants will
have to be avoided, and often wher
the road is uphill it will require thu
combined strength of all the oxen t
haul one section of the tree up thu
steep.
When, finally, the giant of TIT
Tulare woods is where it can be NOV
ed on railroad cars, it will have cos
hundreds and hundreds OF dollars
and six months will have beer
passed from the time the men will
axes started to fell it.
Then the more important work
will commence.
The log will be made whole by tn
putting together Of the sections. Elk
pert woodsmen will cut it across il
the middle, making two lengths
each 45 feet long. Each of thes
lengths will then be hewn into tn
shape Of ordinary railway passenge
coaches.
The rough bark of the tree will b
the roof of the car, and on the side
and ends the natural wood will b
left unpublished.
The inside will be followed out
windows and doors put in, and tn
interior finished after the fashion c
Pullman cars. One will be buffe
and dining car with apartments fo
bath, barber shop and kitchen. TIL
other will be sleeper with an obsel
walton room.
Platforms will be put at the end
and ordinary trucks underneath, an
to prevent the transformed tree tror
falling to pieces under any circun
stances, heavy bands Of iron will h
put around the body of the car.
The tree would have been left wit
the bark all on but FOR the fact thu
the cars could not be more than tn
regulation size and get over bridge
and through tunnels safely. The
will be about II feet wide and 10 fee

Married Five Times in Two Nights.

The other night Henry D. Wilson,
of Philadelphia, went over to Cam
dem, n. j., and was married by the
Rev. Mr.. Burrell to Miss Minnie
Farrell. Then he went before the
Rev. Mr.. Finlaw, under the alias of
Arthur Williams, and was united in
the holy bonds of matrimony to
Laura Joice. On the following night
under the name of Edward Martin,
he became the husband of Mary
Lewis, the Rev. Mr.. Van Horn per-
forming the ceremony. An hour
later as Charles Mullen he took unto
himself as a bride Sarah Price before
the Rev. Mr.. MOrrell, and later in
the evening he became Samuel Mat
theWs and was married to Margaret
Reed by the Rev. Mr.. Sooy. This
quintuple record in the role of a
bridegroom would have got him
into trouble had it not happen>
ed that the brides in the case
were all one and the same person,
like himself adopting aliases. 1t APP
pears, likewise, that the bridegroom
was reporter for the Philadelphia
Press, sent over to write up the loose
marriage ceremony in vogue in New
Jersey, where the clergymen marry
anybody and everybody who comes
along for the usual fees.

What is it to make the best Of
things? 1t is to rob life of half its
cares and to double its pleasures, to
increase its brightness both for our
selves and others; it is to see the
light shining through the cloud
where others see only blackness; and,
finally, it is to make this workaday
world a garden of delight instead of a
place Of WEAKNESS, and life thing to
be enjoyed instead of simply en-
dured.
