When the rosea droop in fall, And tli fragrant zephyrs cease, When the frosts spread oyer all, And the summer tithes release, Love will linger, hearts be true, Though the birds nave Uowd away; We at home will hope renew. While the winds of winter play. When the rose droop in fall They again will come Borne day; When no winter's storm will call, When the sunshine beams in May. We shall always joyf nl be, Love will make fair Eden sweet: For in blissful unity, Heaven was made for earth's retreat. When the roses droop in fall, Think sot sadly of the past; Winter's frosts should not appall, Trying times won't always last. Roses shall again appear, Birds will come again to sing; All will be sweet and dear, When the loses come in spring. HAUNTED BY A HORSE. It seems an odd thing to saj and very likely you will not believe it but there was a time in my life when I was haunted by a horse, just as truly and irresistibly as ever a wret ched sinner was haunted by remorse; and that to my mind, means a good deal more than if I said 'haunted by a ghost;', for I don't believe in ghosts, and I do believe in remorse, for I have felt it and been haunted by it myself, and that, not for aDy very great sins either. My father was a merchant in one of our great western cities a good honorable man, but, withal, stern and harsh to his children in his endeav ors to guide them aright. The result of thisnwise rule was such a9 might have been anticipated; one of my brothers ran off to sea and was drowned on his first voyage; an other enlisted in the army, and I, after a violent quarrel with my father, turned my back on my home, as I believeJ, forever. I was the yonngest son, and, after our mother's death had met with more indulgence than my brothers; but there wero times when tha flint in my father's disposition and the steel in mine came into violent con tact. And so it came that I a hot headed youth of twenty, just home from col lege, the proud winner of hard won prizes went out into the world to seek my fortune. I chanced to have $50 in my pock et, and this sum sufheed to carry me the erreater part of the wav to tho point I had fixed upon as the scene of the first act in tno drama of my future fortunes. There were no railroads in those days across the groat western prai ries; they had to be crossed on horse back or in wagons, and to do either required money more money than I possessed, by far. And so my march came to a sud den halt on the verge of the great plains, and I was forced to look on, while caravan after caravan of eager seekers after gold rolled out of the "ttle town, where my last douor bad stranded ma. , Gold-seekers for the California fever was at its height, and hundreds and thousands of men, reckless and desperate as I was myself were rush ing to the gold fields with all possi ble haste. Weary and heartsick, with aching head and dragging limbs, I wandered out beyond the town. It was a clou dy day, with a cold blustering wind that told of snowflakes near at hand; but I paid no heed to the wea-j ther the inner storm eclipsed the outer. 'Hello?' I thought, 'here comes! some one in a tearing hurry. Clear the road, my boy; or look out for a; knock-down argument!' I stepped to one side, as a horse at full speed came dashing by. I had only time for a brief glance at rider and steed, but that one glanca was enough. Such a horse and such a rider! Coal black, with shining coat, arched sleek, flowing mane and tail and slender limbs, with a long, gen- ii. 1 1 t 1 1 i i 116 spring mat coutu scarcely nave etudachUdinthe saddle. I had olwnva hfsen fond of horses and had . - , , , . prided myself on owning fane ani mals, but never before had I seen a horse that s,o took my heart by storm. And its rider, too! beautiful girl of not more than eighteen sum mers, with flowing ringlets, rosy checks and bright' eyes that seemed to read me through and through as she turned them on me in passing. Involuntarily I removed my hat and stood gazing after the well matched pair as the horse made a sudden turn and haltod with his rider at the door of a house close by. The latter leaped to the ground and entered the dwelling while the horse walked quietly to a neat stable, opening on the road. I stood motionless till both had disappeared, then drew along breath, like one awakening from sleep, and returned to town where a few quiet inquiries furnished me with the infor mation that the animal I so much admired belonged to the chief magis trate of the little town, its rider be ing his only child. All through the rest of the day the figure of that beautiful horse haunted me. I could not throw it off. ' I lay down to sleep and I dreamed that I was mounted on its back, speeding across the wide plains, no -longer spread as an . impassible barrier be tween me and every hope or fortune. -1 awoke and the same idea clung to me. All day long a demon whispered in my ear how easy it would be, in the dead of night, to enter the stable I had seen, lead out the coveted horse, mount him and away, away! Urged by an irresistible impulse, I left the town once more, and inspect ed the magistrate's premises, enter ing the stable, on pretext of inquir ing my way of a boy who was at work within. The horse, the dorious black, was there, and my heart beat hierh as a closer inspection confirmed my first opinion of his quality. How Ions I might have lingered, feasting my eyes on that noble piece of horse-flesh, who can say? i was infatuated, and could, l ver ily believe, have gazed on it for hours, had not the sudden apparition of May Morns, the magistrates daughter, impelled me to a hasty flight And then net till then as I glanced at the pure, proud face that had so interested me the day before, did I realize in all its blackness the true import of the thought that had taken possession of me. A horse thief! I to become a horse tmeii x pressed my band to my head, bewilderen. Mad I indeed fallen so low. as this, that I should seriously contemplate the stealing of another man s horse, and even take pleasure in the idea? My brain reeled with horror at the dark pit, yawning beneath my feet, and yet still I felt the temptation strong upon me to follow to the end the plan I had almost unconsciously mapped out for seizing the coveted animal. And so I went back to the town, at one moment .shrinking from the thought of the dfepth to which I had fallen, at anotberrdlled with delight at the ease with which I could sieze upon him, and speed on his back across the plains. I lay down to sleep, and sleep floi rom me. The beautiful girl and the beautiful horse she rodo; the horse and the erirl, the girl and the horse these two ideas, and the all para mount one that sprang from them, kept surging to and fro in my brain, until at last I sprang up, resolved to go out into the stormy night (for it was snowing hard), and cool my fev erish blood. I seemed to myself to be two per sons nay, three m one body. Une was wicked, and urged the theft of the horse; another was honorable and recoiled at the very idea: and these two held hot argumont togeth er, while the third looked quietly on, saying: 'Look here, what's all this nonsense about! xcu are getting brain fever, my boy, that s what it means, neither more nor less. .Bet ter go home to your father while you can, that s my advice. Every one in the little tavern had settled down for the night, but I found no difficulty in letting myself out, and then I set forth to walk as rapidly as the deep snow would per mit whither? As I live, my sole object and inten tion wag to walk iu the cool air until I felt tired enough to go back to my bed and gain the sleep I sd much needed; yet, without mv own volition, my steps led me direct to the stable where mv coveted beauty was teth ered: not only to the stable, but into it, for the door was insecurely fas tcned and access easy. The result? Ah, you have already divined it. I felt around in the dark ness, found a bridle and saddle, and in a moment more led the black out into the road; and there I paused, my head whirling with exultation, regardless of the fact that a dog was barking furiously at hand, and that a lierht was rapidly approaching from the neighboring dwelling. I waited quietly until beams of the lantern almost flashed into my eyes, and then, with one loud 'Hurrah!' I leaped into the saddle, and plunged down the road at a wonderful speed, considering that the ground was al- rsady deeply covered with the fast falling snow, which, here and there, had drifted into huge heaps, almost blockading the way. It was not long before I heard sounds behind mo that proved I was being followed, yet the knowledge troubled me not, but only lent addi tional zest to the adventure on which I had embarked. The noble steed I rode needed neither whip nor spur to urge him on; the bracing air and blinding snow seemed to have fired his blood, and I 1 111 im a- laugnea aioua at the idea oi any other animal being able to overtake him, the speed he made through the soft snow being perfectly wonderful. On and on we went; once or twice I drew rein and listened, only to be assured that I was still followed, and jthat, too, very closely. I Again I langhed, and shook my hst at my invisible foe; and then, suddenly surrounding me on every Side, I beheld a multitude of demons, each mounted on a horse the coun terpart of the one I rode, and in their midst, appealing to me for help, was the lovely girl whose favorite etred I had appropriated. Frenzied at the sight, I brought down the switch 1 carried heavily on the horse's flank. He indignantly responded with a fierce side leap that landed him in the midst of a deep snow-drift, and pitched me headfore most into another. But I was up again in a moment. and waded out into the level track, my blood on fire with the determina tion to rescue the beautiful maiden I had seen from the legion of demons who were carrying her into bondage. 1 But lo! they had vanished, one and all no demons were to be seen, no horses, no maiden! Nothing was stirring on the great white plain ex cent myself and the proud beauty from whose back I had so suddenly dismounted, and he was some dis- tance off, haying evidently concluded that it was time to returr. to more comfortable quarters in his stable. toward which ho was quickly making nis way. So I stood still in the midst of the fast deepening snow, half blinded by the driving flakes, half frozen by the cold that I now began to feel for the first, time, and wholly bewildered by me disappearance of the maiden a! forlorn, whose rescue I had resolved to effect, or die in the attempt. How ray troubled brain solved the problem of the sudden vanishing of my loes 1 cannot say, for my recol lection halts abruptly at this point, and recommences in a widely differ ent scene. A large, handsomely furnished apartment, myself lying in its midst on a luxurious couch, my father bend ing over me his face haggard and careworn, and, standing at his side, a lovely young girl, whom I had no sooner looked upon than, she vanished these are my next recollections something of a leap you see from the lonely snow-covered plain tf By aud-by, as I came back slowly to health and strength the gap in my memory was liliect up. 'Don't worry about it, my lad,' said the man whom I had sought to rob of the horse. 'It was not you who stole my horse; it was brain fever, and we all know he is an eccentric fellow, not responsible for his mis deeds. No one blames you in the least in fact, no one knows anything about it but your father, May and you and L Naturally I supposed I was pursuing a regular horse thief, until, after meeting my horse return ing riderless, I rode on and found you senseless in the road. 'The first glance at you puzzled me. -xGttvwere no common criminal, that was certain; both face and dress denied it So I lifted you on my horse and held on to you somehow until I reached home. I told, them there that I had found you insensible in the snow, and after gettling you to bed and sending for the doctor I set about examining your pockets, to find your identity, if pos sible. Your letters furnished me with your father's name and address, and when the physician pronounced yours a cass of brain fever, I sent a messenger to him. He came at once, and for tho last three weeks has helped to nurse you back to life. 'It was curious how that horse kept haunting you through all your deli rinm 'the glorious black, and the lovely girl were all . you could talk about, ion were always riding at her side and fighting for her.' 'That lovely girl haunts me still, said I; 'and I hope I may ride at her side and fight for her through life. Who knows? laughed her father, 'Stranger things than that have hap pened. Perhaps you may. And so I did. Republican Theory. iue Jttepubiican theory or govern ment as illustrated by the dangerous tendencies of that party particularly during the Forty-seventh Congress is of the Hmiltonian order, not as actually embodied iu the Constitu tion, but as Hamilton would have stamped that dockument if he had succceeded in his imperial ideas. In a speech upon the floor of the House May 4, 1882, Mr. Morrison, (Dam.) of Illinois called attention to the Re publican tendency as follows: The form of government proposed by Mr. Hamilton was not adopted, and is not the one under which we live. He said in the convention to form the Constitution: "All communities divide themselves into the few aud the many; the rich and well-born, and the mass of the people. The people are turbulent and changing; they sel dom judge or determine right. Uive, therefore, the first-class the" rich and well-born a distinct, permanent share in the (Government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second the mass of the people and will ever maintain good government. .Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy. Thus it will be seen that, great as Mr. Hamilton was, he believed none but the few he called the rich and well-born capable of 'governing and maintaining good government. Hie form of government was rejected,but are we not drifting to its substance T How else are we to account for the growing popularity of his opinion? No one knew better than he that la boring-men are never legislated into his governing class, and that men do not attain riches from the labor of their own hands, but from the pro fits of the labor of other men. The hardship of this truth is not helped but aggravated by tariffs and by any and every system professedly in the interest of any class. The real friends of labor never attempt such legisla tion but from mistaken views. In every race for legislative penents labor obtains less, capital more than its share. Individual enterprise and the legitimate accumulation of capital cannot be interfered with, but legis tion which helps an unjust distribu tion of property or ah unfair division of the proceeds of labor is a great public wrong. Aside from land the value of which depends upon the use made of it, all the capital or the sav ings of labor in the richest State nexer exceeds three years' consump tion, and as to food we are always nearer than a year to starvation. The earnings of both capital and labor must be paid from their joint product. When capital takes too much, labor receives too little, j Official statistics show that under this system in many industries capital takes to itself- four times the earnings of its ordinary employment, the rates of interest, and leaves to labor less than its legit j imate earnings. If Mr. Hamilton desired to foster and perpetuate divisions in society ana tne lortunes of men, the protec- tivr policy was wisely selected for the purpose. ' Soiling Clover in th Fall- .Probably ruae tenths of the farm ers in the United States sow their clover seed in the spring withaut bo ing able to give any better reason for doing so than that they have always done so, and their fathers before them. Having never done otherwise, they do not sem to be aware that in all that district of country including me juiaaia an i southern states do ver sown ia the fall will in nine cases out of ten, succeed much better than it sown in the spring, the reason of it eing thai, (ts clover is a hardy plant when one established, it is not very easily injured by frost, the start gra wha sown in the fall enabling is to oecome so weu rooted as to en dare the severest cold of winter with out detriment.

Some Liquor Statiitios. under the present system of tax ing liquors our Government is able to furnish something like accurate figures relating to the amount annu ally consumed in the United States. In examining the report ojf the chief clerk of the Bureau of Statistics for the fiscal year ending Jurie 30, 1882, we hnd there were 535,759,064 gal Ions of spirituous and malt liquors taxed by the Government. It is es timated that ten percent, of the man ufactured artiolo escaped taxation which added to the above figures gives us a total oi oy,345,y70 gal Ions. To these figures must be add ed 7,B75,4S6 gallons of imported li quors, giving us a grand total of 597, 24,456 gallons. Now if we allow that one fourth was used in the arts, it leaves the enormous sum of 447, 916, 102 gallons for drinking purposes, ii is oimcuit ior the human mind to grasp these numbers. It can only approximate their magnitude by lllus tration and comparison. Suppose we allow on an average thirty-four gallons to tho barrel, and we would have 1,882,000 barrels; these loaded into two-horse wagons, carrying seven barrels each, and eaeh wagon and team occupying twenty two feet, they would reqoire a row 7,HoO miles long, or two abreast from the Atlantic to the Pacific to haul the liquor drank in the United States in a single year. This would fill a canal sixteen feet wide, three feet deep and more than two hundred and thirty-three miles long. Counting this at five cents a piut, which is a very low estimate, more than 358,000,000 are squan dered annually for this greatest foe to the human race. It is estimated that 150,000 die in this country annu ally from the effects of intoxicating liquors, but who can estimate the number of happy homes it destroys, the friendships it wrecks, and th fond hearts it crushes and fills witl worse tnan midnight dartness. The poverty, misery, wretchedness and crime that follows in its train, ia enough to tuan an Eden into a bot termless hell. Yot with all these facts before them, every community con tains professed temperance men who would make this cause respectable,by throwing over it the mantel of law, and who value party fealty above the price of. godliness. x. Golden "v7eris on Marriage. The Golden Age coacludes an article nnder the caption of 'Why don't thoy Marry?' There is no question that our cost y style of living diminishes the num ber of marriages, and indirectly re emits the ranks of the vicious and depraved. So long as a fashion de mands a style of living which only a millionaire can really afford, and a young married couple must support an expensive establishment, or be excluded from the circle in which they moved before marriage, a bar is raised I to matrimonial encasements which i ji,, . i l uiy w vtjr wuiBgtJuu. ys "";. unscrupulous will have the hardihood to overstep. : The opportunities and lures to a single life of easy indul gence and dissipation, hav a eonl stantly increasing influence over the young men of our cities; while a conj tinually increasing number of young ladies are educated to a life of ease! display and extravagance, which only few young men can possibly support1 them in, aud be honest. 1 So our fash-l ions put a premium upon bachelor! ism and vice on the cne hand, andj untold waste and wretchedness on the other. Whnt ia wanted more than anything in our society to-day, is the courage on tho part of young men aud-women to break avs-ay from the present thraldom, aud set a now and nobler fashion of independence and economy. A score or two of ex amples of that heroktn which defies the foolish sentiment and custom of the time, and dares to bo true to tho noble instincts of the heart, and lite simply and honestly in a small and quiet way, would create a reform, if not a revolution. The question comes to every young heart, Which shall I sacrifice, the instincts and affections of the heart, or the shows and shams of society? Alas, that so many yield the former to the latter! For love is the religion of the young; and who ever suppresses it for the sake of ease or display, whoevor sacrifices it for fashion, commits a sacrilege for which nothing on earth can atone. Love is "Ot a tnmg to be aBbamed of or laughed at, but a sentiment to be cherished and gloried in; and at any sacrifice it may require, is cheap so long as it adds fuel to the precious flame which purifies the heart, refines and ennobles the character, and makes a manhood and a womanhood worth the saving and worth the name. , The Pleasure of Poverty. I heard a man who had failed in business, and whose furniture was sold at auction; say that when the cradle, and the piano went tears would come, and he had to leave the house to be a man. Now. there are thousands of men who have lost their pianos, but who have found better music in the sound of their children's voices going cheerily down with them, to poverty, than tho harmony of chorded instruments. Ob, how blessed is bankruptcy when it saves a man's children? I see men who are bringing up their children as I should bring up mine, if, when they aro ten years old, should lay them on the dissecting table and cut the sinews of their arms and legs, so that they could never walk nor use their hands, but only sit still and be fed. Thus the rich man puts the knife of indo lence and luxury to their children's energies and they grow up fatted, calves, fitted for nothing at 25 I 1 t i .1 L 3 - - - 1 a but to drink deep and squander wide, and the father must be a slave all his life in order to make beast3 of ' his children. How, blessed, then is the stroke of disaster, which sets the chil dren free and gives them over to the hard but kind bosom of Poverty, who says to them 'Work!' and working makes them men. Saving Vegetaolo Sscig. If there are mauy varieties of the same vegetable in a garden, it is im possible to save the seed3 of some in an unmixed state. Sweet corn and all of the squash family are ! sure to mix. On the other hand, peas and beans rarely cross. If one saves seed of any vegetable, let it be of the best. Instead of leaving the last peas on the ivines for seed, set apart a portion of a! row for seed, and lot none bo picked from it. By proper care the quality of a vegetable may be may be lm proved. In saving Lima beans, we several years seieciea oniy those with lour beans in a pod; as a consequence tho greater number of pods in the whole crop now have four beans. The selection of the first- ripened au'l best-formed tomatoes for seed will have a marked effect upon future crope, and this j is the case 'with all other vegetables. If one has a choice melon and he would preserve it in its purity, the surest method is to fertilize a few female flowers. Take a male flower of the same kind that is shedding its pollen, remove the corrolla to expose the stamens. Select a female flower that is just ready to open, but has not been visited by insects; open it, and apply the stamens to the pistil of that flower; cover the flowers thus oper ated upon by a bit of muslin until the fruit begins to grow. They settled it: In a breach of promise suit in Montana, not long ago. the plaintiff said that the defen dant, having clearly understood the date fixed for the wedding, had failed to appear on that important day. He afterwards had come to the house, but she being angry hod set the dog on him. The defendant admitted that a day had been set for the ' cere- mony, and further said that, ne in tended to bo present as per agree ment. 'Then,' said the Judge, I 'why did you not appear? 'Well, Judge, the fact is I was treed by a bear all day and night, and couldn't possibly get away iu time.' The case was dis missed a few moments later and Miss Plaintiff became Mrs. Defendant.
