in stating that this scene was sketched
from life.
There were many who fell, and the
morning showed no Improvement ia the
going. Horses were astounded, and dogs
looked aghast, at the odd actions which
they beheld, on the part of their recognized
betters. And they, too, were soon sprawl
ing with the rest of animal kind.
And how many there were in all the
worried crowd who cried, Would that !
had the wings of dove"
There is one man in Augusta, who Is
ready to move heaven and earth to have a
cable railway run up Winthrop hill. The
night before last, two belated members of
the Abnaki Club were interrupted in their
last game of cribbage, by the appearance,
about H. midnight, of miserable object,
who, with sorrow and despair written on
every feature. exclaimed II can't get
home!'
Immediately, there flashed up the image
Of the happy family gathered in its cosy
little home, awaiting the coming of hus-
band and father, while the latter, cold and
houseless, wandered up and down Water
street, longing for his own fireside as he
had never lopged before, unable to scale
the icy hills which hemmed him inson all
sides.
The pathos of the terrible situation
struck home and touched the deepest and
most sacred chords of the better natures

In the latter thoroughfares, by firmly
punching ones foot through the icy sur,
face at each step, the travelling was made
decently possible.
The hills were of all things to be feared,
and many a resident got started down a
slippery slope to find that the only way to
keep up was to let go, make no attempt at
resistance and, like ship under bare poles,
scud before the inevitable. Market square
witnessed many of these cases. People
were seen flying down ecross the tracks
with the speed of the wind, not to come to
a dead stop until Water street had been
crossed
Oak and Bridge streets, and Rines hill,
from the abundance of fences which Dor
dered its walks, were passabe many a
foxy traveller making the descent, or as
cent, as it happened to be, by means, if
not an overhead trolley system, was near
enough to it, and certainly was an over
hand system.
We give few lightning sketches by the
Journal artist, illustrating the situation.
1t will he seen that, aside from the small
boy on skates, about the only person who
was able to walk in the pride of conscious
power, was the enterprising lady who
wore a pair of wooden socks over her
shoes. We are violating no confidence

leadership of Mr.. Gale. the evangelist
The meetings have been remarkable for
their immediate results. Seldom. if ever,
has there been such a harvest of souls
gathered in city OF that size About
1000 people signed cards, expressing a
desire to enter the Christian life. The
audiences were enthusiastic from the be

was thronged night after night to hear
the PLAIN, straightforward message. Mr..

The word of God is plain and simple and
he is content to declare it.
1t is the earnest desire Of hundreds in
our city to have this grand leader with US

may be opened and that speedily. Those
who have already been awakened here to
the great realities of the Christian life are
finding real joy in the serivcc of the Mas

are very different from what they We're two

A FRUITFUL YEAR.

I Despite the prevalent dullness of
the present, every indication points
to the future of fruitful and pros
porous year.
The heavy SHOWS have opened up
and aerated the soil and the rains
that have followed hove put the
ground in prime condition for
thorough breaking up. 1t is not
long till the seed time, and the
thoughtful and industrious farmer
will have his fields ready, when
planting begins, to give his crops
splendid start.
Last year was phenomenal one
in the rich harvest of field crops,
but owing to the open winter the
fruit was destroyed, entailing a
heavy loss on the country.
This winter there has been sui
fcient cold to keep the trees back,
and If no untoward accident occurs,
we will have fine fruit year.
Such is the endless variety of our
agricultural and horticultural re-
sources that this combination of a
bouutiful field and fruit crop will
mean much for the prosperity OF our
fair country ana will help to repair
the losses We have sustained in
other lines through the financial
collapse. s
Every day emphasizes the fact
more and more that the world is
looking Southwark, and by the be-
ginning of another year our people
will find themselves ip a better con-
dition than ever before.
Ours is country of too many ats
fractions TO outsiders, to suffer long
from a panic, and with an increase
OF population we will have better
home markets for products that have
heretofore been in a large measure
wasted for want of a demand for
them.
All these things are changing
rapidly, and soon the wild and waste
places of the South will blossom
like the roses.

DENNIS DAUGHTER.

Denny's daughter stood minute in the field
was to pass,
All as quiet as her shadow laid before along
the grass;
In her hand a switch o. hazel from the nut
trees crooked root,
An mind the crown O. clover crumpled I'M
der one bare foot.
For the look Of her,
The look Of her,
Comes back on me today,
With the eyes of her,
The eyes Of her
That took me on the way.
Though seen poor Denny's daughter white
an stiff upon her bed,
Yet be to think there's sunlight faIlin some
where on her head.
She'll be singin Ave Mary where the flowers
never wilt;
She, the girl my own hands covered with the
narrow daisy quilt.
For the love of her,
The love Of her,
That would not be my wife,
An the loss Of her,
The loss Of her,
Has left me lone for life.

Gordon Cumming. the Hunter.

Gordon Cumming began his hunt
ing in 1843 in the northern part of
Cape Colony. At that time the game
still swarmed over the parched kar-
roo plains. Quagga, wildebeest, hart,
best and springbok fell in numbers
to his rifle. In thu deserts south of
the Orange river-now sheep and
goat walks in the Hope Town divi-
sion of the Colony-he enjoyed mag
nificent sport with the gemsbok
(Oryx capensis), which then abound
ed there. In those days the trek
bokken," or migration of spring
boks, was common in the north of
Cape Colony. Gordon Cumming wit
gessed one of these migrations. 81
beheld the plains, " he tells US, land
even the hillsides which stretched
away on every side of me, thickly
covered, not with herds, but with
one vast mass of springboks. AS far
as the eye could strain the landscape
was alive with them until they sof-
tened down into dim red mass Of
living creatures.
This "trekbokken" Cumming esti-
mated at some hundreds of thou
sands. On speaking to an old Boer
about it he remarked that cit was q
very fair trekbokken, but, " he add
ed, you this morning beheld only
one fiat covered with springboks. I
give you my word that have ridden
long days journey over a Success
sion of flats covered with them as
far as I could see and as thick as
sheep in fold" have myself
heard much the same account from
old farmers, English and Dutch, of
the Cape Colony.-Fortnightly Re-

and vital force follow loss of flesh,
or emaciation. These come from
impoverished blood. Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood, stops the waste of strength

In recovering from " Grippe" or
in convalescence from pneumonia,

gestion and nutrition, rouses every

How to Study German,

The study of German is by no
means so simple matter as the
words might imply, writes Professor
A. S. Isaacs of the University of New
York, giving some valuable advice
under the title when Studying
German" in The Ladies Home Jour-
nal. 1t may signify nero reading
knowledge of the language or the
most thorough acquaintance with it's
literature and ability to speak it
with absolute f1uency and idiomatlc
accuracy. Naturally the methods of
study will vary according to the pur-
pose in view and the age and ac-
quirements of the student. There is
no royal road to the study of Ger
man or any language, however glow
ing are the predictions of some teach
ers and anticipations of credulous
pupils. Success in language study
depends upon the students ambi-
ton, industry and ability. 1t is less
q question of teacher or textbook,
although these are not to be de-
spised. But, as in everything in life,
success must be earned in language
study by earnest, we'll directed and
systematic individual effort.

POULTRY A GOUD REVENUE FOR
FARMERS.

EDS. JOURNAL Having made
practical experiment with poultry
tor ten years, | am satisfied there is
good profit to be made if properly
conducted by farmers and others.
| experimental only on a small
scale for lack OF room. Poultry
generally does best on a large range.
Most all farmers have plenty of
ground to keep poultry, They cab
easy arrange to keep 100 to 200
fowls. Their wives and children
can attend to them. From 200 hens
of the non setting breed, such as
Leghorns, Hamburgs, &C., they
would get in one season at least IA
dozen eggs piece, and in ali $500
dozen. At low estimate, at 421
cents per dozen, would realize $3.50
for eggs alone. Experts allow SO
cents tor the droppings of each hen,
amounting to 500 year-the fer
tilizer being as good as commercial.
This would give $3.50 per year for
eggs and fertilizer. Allow one dol
lar cost for food TOR each hen is q
very high estimate for II months.
This would leave $3.50 clear profit
on 200 hens. Then after they are
kept . or years and sent dressed to
market, each fowl may bring 80 or
40 cents.
Many hens, if of good stock, will
lay 220 eggs in one year. My B.
Plymouth Rock, a setting breed,
offered for sale January Oath in the
JOURNAL, have been laying $50 tc
$50 eggs during one season, besides
rearing a brood of chicks.
Such showing ought to induce
farmers to give poultry more atten
ton. Indeed they can increase thi,
profit if they raise broilers at tn,
proper time time, using incubators
and breeders for this purpose. An,
persons engaging in the business
must possess particular fancy fo
it, willing to work hard, have pa
thence and endurance, commence OF
small scale, buy stock only from
reliable breeders, attend to all tn,
particulars, read poultry literature
watch the markets, and success vii
crown their efforts.
Farmers have the best chance il
the world to raise the very bes
poultry and with more profit thai
persons living on city lots, becaus
they can give poultry more spac
and raise more food for them at lit
tie cost. But this business has t.
be learned the same as any other.

IN 1885,

Harpers Weekly is pictorial history of the
times. 1t presents every important event prompt
ly, accurately, and exclusively in illustration
and descriptive text of the highest order.
The manner in which, during 1894, it has treat
ed the Chicago Railway Strites and the China
Japanese War, and the amount of light it was
able to throw on Korea the instant attention was
directed to that little-known country, are exam
pies OF its almost boundess resources. Julian
Ralph, the distinguished writer and correspond
ent, has been sent to the seat of war, and there
joined by C. d. Weldon, the well-known American
artist, new for many years resident in Japan, who
has been engaged to cooperate with Mr. Ralph in
sending to Harpers Weekly exclusive information
and illustration.
During 1895 every vital question will be discuss
ed with vigor and without prejudice in the edi-
tora columns, and also in special articles by the
highest authorities in each department.. Portraits
of the men and women who are making history
and powerful and caustc political cartoons, will
continue to be characteristic features. This Busy
World, with its keen and kindly comment on the
lesser dOings OF the day, will remain regular de-
partment.
Fiction There will be two powerful serials,
both handsomely illustrated-The Red Cockade, a
stirring romance of olden days by Stanley j.
Weyman, and novel of New York, entitled The
Son of His Father, by Brander Matthews several
novelettes, and many short stories by popular
writers.

A large class of excellent people
altogether fail to appreciate the val
ne and Importance OF kind words
and looks. And in consequence the
opportunity to promote the happi,
ness or we'll being of others passes
unimproved. 1t is too often assum-
ed that the needy and distressed
can be relieved and comforted only
by the use Of money, and those who
are unable TO exercise benevolence
in that direction concluded that
they have no duty in regard to the
poor and the suffering. But to a
large class a kindly word and benev-
client smile are worth more than "a
little money doled out by cold and
unfeeling hand. When the money
is needed and we have the ability to
bestow it, we may not withhold it.
But whether we are able to give
aid. in this direction or not let MS
never forget the importance OF a
kind word and kind look.

MAKE YOUR OWN TOWN.

A writer who evidently knows
What he is talking about, gives this
wholesome advice, which is always
good for any kind of a town:
"It you want your town to i'm
prove, improve it. If you want to
make your town lively, make it..
Don't go to sleep, but get up and
work for it, talk about it and talk
favorably. If you have property,
improve it. Paint your houses,
clean up your alleys and back yards.
Make your surroundings pleasant
and you will teel better and your
property will be worth more in the
market. l. you are doing reason
ably well, advise your friends to
come and invest near you. Work
steadily for your home dealers.
Keep your money at home as much
as possible, and it is likely to help
you in return The successful towns
have been made by property own
ers pulling together. Public i'm
provements is an investment that
pays. Don't waste your time over
dirty quarrels, and hold back your
aid for good objects through spite,
but work for some good and you
will find yourself benefited"
