Tennyson and Gladstone.

Two names possibly rescued from
oblivion. The one already "crossed
the bar" aud "seen his captain face to
face" The other an octogenarian and
awaiting the dread summons to depart.
"Dread ?" God forbid, to him "that
feareth God and worketh righteous
ness" there is nothing dreadful in it.
A Christian poet and Christian
statesman can leave no better legacy
to earth, than we'll ordered life and a
godly conversation. In contrast, what
are all the grand achievements of the
conqueror, or the ribald wit and mock
cry of the infidel? The one have
dealt in blood and tears the other
frightened mans highest hopes.
A writer in the century Magazine
gives this graphic portraiture Of the
men:
Something brought up the franchise.
Tennyson said: "That's what we're
coming to when we get your reform
bill, Mr.. Gladstone; not that know
ANYTHING about it." mo more does
any man in England" said Gladstone,
taking him up quickly, with twink
ling laugh; then adding, "but Pm sor-
ry to see you getting nervous" "Oh,I
think State i'm which every man
would have a vote is the ideal. I al
ways thought it might be realized 10
England, If anywhere, with our con-
stitutional history. But how to do
it ?" Soon after came coffee. Tenny-
son grew impatient, moved his great
gaunt body about, and finally was left
to smoke pipe. 1t is hard to fix the
difference between the two men, both
with tn cir strong provincial accent
Gladstone with his rich, flexible voice,
Tennyson with his deep drawl, rising
into an impatient falsetto when put
out; Gladstone arguripg, Tennyson
putting in a prejudice; Gladstone as.
serting rashly, Tennyson denying
with bald negative; Gladstone full
of facts, Tennyson relying on impress
sions; both OF them humorous, but
the one polished and delicate in re-
partee, the other broad and course and
grotesaue. Gladstone's hands are
white and not remarkable, Tennyson's
are huge, unwiedly, fit for molding
clay or dough. Gladstone is in some
sort of man of the world Tennyson
a child, and treated by Gladstone like
q child" T.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Buckwheat Is one of the most valu-
able grains for poultry feed.
Change the feeding coops for the
young poultry every few days.
Buckwheat is "a good crop to grow in
the orchard to help build up fertility.
It will be an advantage to let poultry
that is kept confined run out every
evening.
A little work now In providing good
drainage will help in getting the seed
in early.
Millions of dollars worth of manure
is annually lost on the roadways OF
this country.
Steamed clover hay makes a capital
feed for hogs. They will eat it even
n dry state.
Mix the radish seed, using an early,
medium and late variety in order to
keep up a succession.
Sow or plant everything in straight
rows and sufficiently far apart to use
the garden cultivator.
Onions, lettuce, peas, beets, radish
and spinach can be sown as soon as
the soil can be worked.
A good deal of our trouble with
swine comes from too close inbred
ing. The remedy suggests itself.
Pigs should have plenty of exercise
and nice warm nest to sleep In il
you want them to be healthy.
By using the garden seed drill seed
Is distributed more evenly In the row
and is covered more uniformly.
It Is important in the garden and
orchard to get the work all done ir
season; planning ahead will aid IL
this.
Mix few radish seeds with the as
paragus, rhubarb and parships, 80 thai
the weeds will not hide the plants.
If the poultry house were kept
whitewashed, clean and we'll venti
lated we would have less trouble from
lice.
Burn over every spot that contains
dead grass or dried weeds. Millions
of seeds are found under such refuge.
When potted plants are we'll grown
and become heavily rooted remove
them to larger pot or they will moi
thrive.
The duckling will eat twice as much
food as the chick, but will also weigh
more than twice as much in two
months.
Hens, when sitting on the nest
should be kept quiet and have plenty
to eat and drink, in order to obtain {
good hatch.

THE LITERARY CLUB.
A Learned Essay Knocks the Club all
Into n HeaD.

The Abbeville Literary Club met last Fri
! day night at the home OF Mr.. w. A. Temple
ton. Walter l.. Miller: ESQ.,, was president
The subject OF the essay was Spencer's Phi
losophy, and II was written as a member sale
that night, in a dialect with which major
ity OF men are unfamiliar.
While q few OF the members spoke In re
sponse TO the call Of their names by the pres
ident yet as far as we were able TO under
stand. nobody discussed the essay, or In, any
special way referred to the subject matter
which was discussed by the essayist, as IL
usual on such occasions.
Que member, however, did venture to ask
II spencer was believer In evolution, and
this after listening to the essayist for perhaps
an hour.
The fact is, the club was knocked all into 9
heap, and during It's delivery the most that
anybody would do was to notice the effect
One member never batted an eye, nor cross
ed st." all the time, and never took his eye
off the essayist. His looks seemed TO be say.

with his hands over his mouth, and his eyes
shut. all Of which was coustrned to mean
"If the essasyist keeps on he may come 10
something that can understand"
But 70 q locker on, who knew nothing OF
what was being said and had only his eyes
and his thoughts to entertain him, the serious
manner Of the essayist, all unconscious Of the
Joke, was greater excitant OF ones risibiles
than anything else.
Upon the whole the meeting was pleasau
one and the refreshments were OF the choicest
Of their kind.
The learned essayist delivered an essay
which we doubt not by specialists, would
have been considered an able paper. The
only drawback TO II, as far as the club was
concerned, was that the members were not
sufficiently Informed on the subject either to
understand the essay or TO discuss the sub
ject, but this In no way could be construed to
be fault OF the essayst who seemed 70 thor
oughly understand what he Was writing
about.
The next meeting OF the club will be at the
house OF Mr.. J. H. Latimer.

When the soul is to receive some re-

When the soul is to receive some re-
markable cure for spiritual malady,
Jesus takes it "aside from the multitu-
de,n as he did the deaf and dumb
man, to whom he said, "Ephphatha,
be openedm Although we do not sus-
pect it, we are often taken aside by the
kind hand of the Healer for the very
purpose of restoration. When a dear
friend has been removed from US, in
the seclusion of our bereavement the
soul hears spiritual voices to which it
had been deaf before. After an eXpe-
rience of personal suffering during
which the soul has learned ITO agree
with God silently" we often find our
selves enabled to speak to others for
their comfort and guidance as never
before. The heavenly Healer has
taken us aside from the multitude, and
spoken to hearts and lips the wonder
fnl words, ''Be opened" Aside from
the multitude means nearness to Je-
sus, healing by him, and consequent
power.

Extracts from Christian Neighbor
One Step-Khy Not Another.

That was a forward step taken by
the Bishops at their recent meeting by
which each Bishop takes control of
the Conferences assigned him imme-
diately after the adjournment of their
meeting.
Now let the General Conference take
a step forward namely: So change
the law as to give every Annual Con-
ference the authority to fix the time
for its sessions. say, a certain Wednes-
day in a certain month Of every year.
Let the time be fixed and stay fixed.
Let the Bishops adjust their plans ac-
cordingly.
However desirable it may be to have
a bishop to preside, the advantages at.
tending the proposed change would
more than balance the disadvantages
ofpossibly holding Conference, now
and then, without bishop.
The advantages of the change in
brief, are:
/. The Conference year would cor
respond with the calendar year-would
be an even twelvemonth.
2. Preachers and people would
know when the Conference year would
begin and end which would enable
them to make their temporal arrange
ments timely and advantageously.
AS it is, preachers and people wait
about six months after one session of
the Conference before they learn when
the next session Is to be held, and con-
sequertly whether the Conference
year Is to be shorter or longer than the
calendar year-or whether, perchsnce,
an even twelvemonth.
8. Presiding elders, pastors and
Stewards could make their appoint.
ments more iudlciously y-methodically
and pFoitably.
4. The time for an Annual Confer
ence being fixed, 1t would or should
lead to the fixing time for the preach.
ers to begin their work and when to
close.
Other regularly organized bodies, &C.
clesiastical and civil, have fixed times
for meeting. Why should so import
ant an organization as an Annual Con-
ference be without q fixed time for
it's sessions?
In the foregoing nothing Ia intended
to dlsparage our bishops or to undeval.
ue their labOrs in ali Annual Con.
ference. With their efforts toward the
betterment of Methodist economy we
simply desire to unite in working tc
the same end.
