MEMORY

What we miscall our life is Memory:
We walk upon narrow patch between
Two gulfs-what is to be, and what has
been,
Led by guide whose name is Destiny:
Beyond is sightless gloom and mystery,
From whose unfathomable depths we
CLEAN
Chaotic hopes and terrors dimly seen
Reflections of a past reality.
Behind, pursuing through the twilight
haze,
The phantom people of the past appear:
Hope, happiness and sorrow, frutless
strife
And all the loved and lost of other DAYS:
They crowd upon us closer year by year
Till We as phantoms haunt some other
life.

SOUTHERN FARM HANDS.

Some years ago Il few young colored
men came from the South to work on
Jersey farms because they got better
wages. They returned home each fall
and told Of the good season they had.
Each succeeding year more have come
come until this year the farmers have a
good supply Of farm hands. Those who
have been coming for years have learn
ed to be lirst-class hands on truck farms
and the others soon learn. They are
usually very steady, do not run about
much and spend little, so that when
they go home they have a snug sum Of
money to take with them.
The SwedesbOro Nelgs says that so
many colored farm hands have come up
from Maryland and Virginia that there
is a surplus, and some of those not I'm.
ployed have NOS the means to pay for
transportation to their Southern homes.
The natives complain that these South
ern hands are lowering the scale of
farm hands wages.
The greatest difficulty is to get help
in the house, both on farms and in the
town. Years ago the country was full
OF tenant houses. There we're usually
several boys and girls in the family of
the labOring men who helped on the
farms as soon as they got large enough.
But lots Of tenant houses have been
torn down or aIe vacant, the tendency
being for the laboring men to move TO
towns, and the boys and girls work in
factories, learn Il trade, or do nothing
just as long as they possibly can. The
tendency is for the native whites to
have less children, and, as a conse-
qnence the country is filling up With
foreigners and colOred people. The
farmers wives have the hardest time of
it, AS help is so scarce. Instead of the
most of the farms being managed by
old substantial land owners and the
leading citizens, all who can leave the
farm to engage in some business not so
laborious for the house wife. As a con-
sequence there are more tenant farmers
than formerly.
The ONLY remedy at baud is to get the
poorer white families Of the South to
come to Jersey where they can better
their condition or to get young colored
women 10 come with the men.

FISHING.

began in earnest this week. The warm
weather brought a good run and prices
have been good. The catch in the bay
on Monday was from 200 to 800 for the
high nets, but the catch was larger on
tuesday when as high as 400 were
caught.
The catch at Penn's Grove on Mon
day was from 100 to $50 for the highest
net. The catch the remainder of the
week has been from % to 60.
1t is estimated that the steamer En-.
deavor had about 5000 up on Monday
and Tuesday nights and about 10000
the Other lights Of the week. Over TO-
oO0 were put aboard at Hope Greek
Tuesday night where there are about
80 nets this year.
The usual number of shad nets at
Hope Creek in former years have been
from 20 to 50, This year several more
than usual went TO Bay Side for their
headquarters, as shad are shipped from
there to many towns in South Jersey,
and bring Il better price.
The wholesale price paid at Penn's
Grove on Monday was $40 per 100;
Tuesday SIS and the rest OF the week
SIS: Good shad retail for from 20 to
SOC,
The Bay IS full of shad. On Thursday
over 600 were caught by some Of the
highest nets.
While the warm weather brought the
shad it hurt the price.
The sturgeon fishing fleets left for the
Bay this week. Most of them cleared
on Wednesday and Wednesday night.
Nearly every firm went into the bust
ness heavier this year, owing to the
good season last year. The prospects
are that the price of fish and caviar will
not be so good this year. Last year
from $40 to $50 per key was received
for caviar, but the price 10Y is about
$50. Dalbow u Dalbow are about the
largest firm with 16 boats and nets.
They will have to make about $4,000
to clear expenses.
