The Gravedifff er' Seng.
The crab, the bul&ce, and the sloe,
They burgeon in te spring:
And when the west wind melis the snow,
The redstarts build and siug. r
But Death's at worit in rind and root,
And loves the green buds best:
And when the pairing music's mute,
lie spares rhe empty west.
Death! DcaibJ
Death is master of lord and clown;
Close the coffin and hammer-it down.
When nuts arc brown aad sera without,
And white and plump within,
And juicy gourds are passed about,
And trickle down the chin:
When comes the reaper with his scytho,
And reaps and nothing leaves,
O, then it is that Death is blithe,
And sups among tbe sheaves.
Death! Death!
Lower the coffin and slip the cord :
Death is master of cfowu and lord.
When logs ahout the house are stacked, j
And nest year's nose is kuit,
And tales are told and jokes arc cracked,,
And fagots blaze and spit;
Death sits down in the ingle-nook, ,
Sits down aud doth not speak :
But he puts his arm round the maid that's
warm ,
And she tingles in the check.
Death! Death!
Death is master; of lord and clown :
Shovel the clay in, tread it down.

HOW THEY ARE BROUGHT TO CS AND HOW
THEY ARE GROWN AND GATHERED.
A steamer unloading 10,000 bunches
of bananas. A stevedore mounted on
the deck, giving out orders to 100 long
shoremen who stand in lines and pass
the bunches of fruit from the hold of
the vessel to waiting trucks. The own
er standing on an upturned barrel and
calling out "One,' 'Two ' or "Three,
designating the grades to which the
bananas belong. Trucks backing into
place, loading and pulling out to make
room for others. Small boys senrring
between the trucks and feasting on the
over ripe fruit.
Snch was the scene a reporter beheld
on a down town wharf the other day
"Two million bunches of . bananas
iii- i
come into tnis port aione every year
now," said the importer. "Previous to
1884 there were not near so many
Schooners were emploved, and thev
took six weeks to make a trip, carried
only 2,500 bunches, and lost a quarter
of them on account of the length of
time afloat and the damage by salt
water. Now we have regular lines of
steamers that carry four or five times
as much fruit, aud make such quick
trips that there is practically no loss of
fro it."
"Where do the bananas come from?"
"Well, the mis, which appear to -be
the favorites, come from linracoa, Cuba.
We get from 30,000 to 40,030 bunches
of them a week during August, but less
now that peaches are in market. The
yellow ones come from Jamaica, Panti
mn, Costa Rica and Nicanigusi. There
are some bananas produced in Florida,
but the home demand prevents any com
ing here. It will not be long before
the red bananas will be very scarce, as
the Cuban planters are replacing them
with the yellow slips from Jamaica.
The cause of this is that the yellow
produce bunches averaging from $2 to
$2.23, while the fed will
not average
more than $1.50 a bunch."
"How do bananas grow?"
"On immense plantations, laid off in
to rows of trees about eight feet apart
earn way. The trunk of a banana
tree is composed of the stems of leaves
and grows from fifteen to twenty feet
When the fruiting begins a bud
appears at the top of the stem and de
velops into a bunch of bananas. W hen
he fruit is gathered the tree is cut
Jown and left to decay, and new
sprouts start up from the same root,
and thus the crop is continually renew
ed. There are about 700 trees to the
icre, and each one produces one bunch
of fruit. New plantations are started
y setting out young sprouts about two
eet high. Ihe gathering of the ba
nanas differ. In Central America the
native Indians are employed. They
cut the tree with a machete until it
bends over so as to bring the bunch
within reach. It is then cut off and
carried on the backs of the men down
to the ships which run up the rivers.
The loading is usual! v done by forming
a line and passing the bunches from
mind to hand, ihia is not very pleas-
tnt work, as the bunches often contain
scorpions, tartantulous, centipedes and
other venemous insects that get shaketj
out of the bunches as they are passed
itrd bite or sting the handler. In Ja
maica the negro women are used to
oad the fruit, and in Cuba both negroes
md half breeds are employed.
"In the hold of the vessel the bana
nas are placed in bins holding several
hundred buunches each and arranged
o admit all the air possible. The ven
tilation is so important that large can-

on deck so as to catch the wind and
carry it down into the hold. In winter
much care is necessary to prevent the
cargo from freezing on the voyage or
while unloading. Bananas are almost
the only fruit that is always in season.
They arrive at this port every mouth
in the year. During the poorest
months in midwinter we receive 70,
bunches, and in summer the number
fret uen t ly reaches 350,000 bunches."

A MAIDEN BLUSH.
The Euby Signal That Spotless Virtue
Makes.
Henry Blount in Wilson Mirror.
In conversation with one of Wilson's
loveliest aud purest and sweetest mai
dens Hie other day she made a s!ip of
the tongue, and in a moment her
alabaster cheeks wrere swim mine- in
those roesate waves of feeling, which
are sure to come sweeping up from the
ocean of maidenly modesty and deh
cacv. whenever the least ' wind of
coarseness ruffles its pure and stainless
waters. And then as we saw how ex
quisitely she blushed, we began to re
flect upon the visits of these voiceless
messengers from the bosom of these
messengers which tire sure to tell the
least infringment upon the hallowed
sanctity of purity and modesty. And
as we thus reflected we wondered if
.i i il
there is anything on ear in more mys
terious than a blush, that a single
word or look or thought should send
that niomentable carnation over the
cheek like the soft tints of the summer
sunset ? Strange it is, also, that the
face is capable of blushing, that the
hand or foot does not turu red with
mo lestv or shame anv more than the
riove or sock that covers
them. It is
the face that is in Heaven.
Ihe blush
of modesty that woman's face when
she awoke in Eden's sunny land still
lingers with her fair daughters. They
esinght it from the rose, for all roses
were first white; but when Eve plucked
age, the bud seeing her own fair
face more fair than the flowers
blushed and cast reflection on her vel
vet cheeks.

An E&ccixra'-icg Report from Secretary
Bracer.
Raleigh, Nov. 18; The report of
the condition of the crops, &cM in the
Stale, which was prepared to-day by
Mr. T. K. Brnner, secretary of . the de
partment of agriculture, is of interest,
it is the closing one of the year. With
a view to ascertaining facts in regard
to the yield of certain crops aud the
exact condition of the preparations for
next season's crops, a specially prepared
blank with inquiries was sent out to
300 correspondents. The information
which has been obtained is of an en
couraging nature and shows that there
has been great improvement Jn the
preparation of the soil for the seed.
The desire for new and improved
methods is widespread. The unmis
takable awakeniug among the farmers
of the State indicates better things
in the future. The specific reporta
on the various crops are as follows,
tis made up per the responses of cor
respondents :
COTTON.
The average estimated yield of lint
cotton per acre in the State is 347
pounds. In some sections the figures
are largely in excess of these, and
n others much less. There is now
in the fields, unpicked, 22 per Cent of
the crop.
TOBACCO.
The average product per acre is 493
pounds in the counties which produce
it. The average price realized in fhe
same counties, to the farmer, is 10$
cents per pound. This may be a frac
tion large, as all the correspondents did
not report on it, but it is the average
of thosereporting.
SORGHUM.
All the correspondents save one pro
nounce the crop a paying one. Lsti
niates of the yield per acre vary widely,
from 20 to 150 gallons. The average
is 77 gallons. It is worth from 30
to 35 cents per gallon. This is suffi
cient to prove the value of the crop,
which is the largest this season or any
since 180L
WHEAT.
The preparations for seeding have
been or an exceptional cnaracier in
most parts of the State. : The indica
tions point to an increased average,
but the heavy rams in the latter part
of October and early in November
have occasioned delay in most parts of
the State in getting the soil in condi
tion and has also tended to reduce the
-T 1 1L.
raverage. let in tue iace oi inese un
favorable circumstances, the reports ni
nes te an increased average, with a
third of the winter sowing in the
around! This applies iu-most part to
the Piedmout section.
The same remarks made in regard to
wheat applv. If anything, the
pros-
pect is brighter than for wheat.
CLOVER AND GRASSES.
The reports show great unanimity in
a prospect for incfeased acreage, and
this is regarded as the best indication
of a progressive spirit on the part of
the farmers. I here will be a
seeding this season than last.
TURNIPS AND PEAS.

The crops are a success in all parts
of the state. Ihe pea crop is unpre
cedented in size. Raleigh Lorresjjond

About Horses.
Reject a horse with a big, coarse head
do not look a second time at a horse
with either a long slack back or with a
hollow back.
Where one horse dies frnm overwork
in this country twenty die from exhaus
tion or wsiut of proper treatment. A
sound hor.e will stand a wonderfu
amount of work if he has the right
kind of care while at it.
11 is
A farmer who has a good liorse or
two to turn into money every year is
irenerallv one of a class of men who
are considered thrifty Tind frog
There is more clear money in raising
good horse?, if it is done judiciously,
than in any other kind of live stock.
A correspondent of the London Lice
Stock Journal asserts that some horses
cannot well do certain kinds of work
which others can, owing to different
spinal development. He says if the
back arches downward the horse can
not carry heavy weight, while if it
arches upward he cannot pull heavily.
For this retison contractors select
horses higher vt their withers than at
their hips. "High-back horses cannot
back a load; whereas a horse with a
low back can bck any reasonable
weight."

Household Hints.
A much worn broom is very hard on
tbe carpet.
If pogsible, keep one utensil sacred
to onions alone.
The covers of the range should never
be allowed to get red hot.
If you wish your bread to be white,
put very little lard into the flour.
Cistern water may be purified by
charcoal put in a bag and hung in the
water.
If your flat-irons are rongh,rubthem
with fine salt and it will make them
smooth.
Wash cloths should be thoroughly
rinsed in water with soap and a little
ammonia. .ill
To clean tinware, dampen a cloth,
dip it in soda, rob the ware briskly, af
ter which wipe dry.
Fo prevent drain pipes from stopping
up pour a hot solution of potash into
them every two months.
The luster of morocco may be re
stored by varnishing it with the white
of an egg. Apply with sponge, i
Miss Parloa says : "Let the sink rest
on iron legs. The space under it should
not be enclosed, as every dark place is a
source of temptation to a slovenly do-
mcstic."
An excellent way of cooking eggs is
to break them in boiling milk without
beating. Cook slowly, occasionally
stirring, and when-done add pepper, salt
and butter.
. For coffee stains try putting thick
glycerine on the wrong side and wash
ing it out with lukewarm water, a For
raspberry stains weak ammonia and
water is the best.
There should be a small table about
the hight of the range for use as a rest
ing place for utensils when bniellettes,
griddle cakes, etc., are made. It should
be covered with zinc. ,
Spirits of camphor will remove fruit
stains of all kinds from white goods if
applied-before the goods have been wet.
W iish and boil in the usual manner, and
yon need not look for the stain, for it
will not be there.
Finding Fault
It is one of the easiest things in the
world to find fault, especially ks nothing
seems quite perfect. There is the late
spring, the weather, the bills, the appe
tite, the cook, the mosquito, the mi
crobe and the evolutionist. Besides
this, everybody is full of faults, and if
we do see them, it must be because we
are not looking out for them. There
is one's neighbors; nobody knows what
a benefaction neighbors are till one
can find fault with them. It is only
necessary to live with or near people
to discover how vain and selfish, how
extravagant and niggardly, how indo
lent, how fussy and unlovely they are.
In most cases we will discover that it is
our friends who find the most fault
with us, either because they love us
mo3t, or because we are so near them
that they more readily perceive our
failing than our graces.
But it is a mistake to find fault too
often ; one gets the reputation of a
shrew, and the constant nagging is
irritating to tbe temper, and helps no
one. To be to another's faults a little
blind, seems to some the poorest meth
od. We don't need to be told of our
failings; nobody is as well aware of
them as we are ourselves. We know
when we are jealous, when we are ill
terfipered, when we are "touchy," when
we are awkward and ignorant; and yet
many seem to believe it their duty to
acquaint us with all our short-comings
in an exaggerated manner.
If they overlook any other duty, they
are diligent to attend to this. With
some people it develops into a fine art.
In certain moods it is more agreeable
to find fault than to praise; it shows
more power of mind, more cultivation,
more talent for the study of humanity;
but those who are the most ready t
pursue this art are the most displeased
if another con noiseur brings them in
turn under his microscope. WTe are
pleased to call it analysis of character
when we pick our neighbors to peices;
and wish lie was as agreeable as our
selves; and if he should become fault
less, our occupation would be gone.
We fancy ourselves bent upon reform,
but would it not sometimes give us a
pang if we could see nothing to cavil
at?
An Extraordinary Phenomenon.
No other term than tbe above would
apply to the woman who could see her
youthful beauty fading away without
a pang of regret. Many a woman? be
comes prematurely old and haggard
because of functional derangement
What a pity that all such do not know
that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
will restore their organs to a normal
state, and make them youthful and
beautiful once more! for the ills to
which the daughters of Eve are pecu
liarly liable the "Prescription" is a
sovereign remedy. It is the only medi
cine sold by druggists under a positive
guarantee from the manufacturers,
that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be returned. Set
guarantee on bottle wrapper.
