Brit brilliant fancies around it play
And happiness there never clogs, they say,
And riches that Crcesus could not buy
Fill the dear island of Bye-and-bye,
Oh, this beautiful island! Weary and wom
We wander darkly through paths unknown,
But Hope ever points to a beacon high
Where we catch the sunshine of Bye-and

The laborer as lie sows the ground"
Watching and toiling the whole year round
Sees rest and ctmifort drswing nigh
With his garnered sheaves in the Bye-and

I The merchant too, as day by day
: Small gams his weary vigils pay
Dreams nightly of lus “Argosie”
Wien with wealth, in life By-and-byc.
The sojdier, tliroungh his griefs untold—
j Tirerl and hungry, wet and coM,-

Staggering ’neath his heavy loud
Starts up afresh, with eager cry : •

Smiling, but faint with cradle cave ' ,
She whispers soft, as her fingers fly :
These babes shall comfort me, Bye-and

The boy grows up, erect and tall.
And looking away from top and ball
Sees manhoods brightest honors lie
In the glorious land of the Bye-and-bye.

A ’wilderment of golden dreams;
But their sweetest development waits to try
This fairy island, Bye anil-bye.

He asks not for pleasure, he seeks not ease;
But he points to a vision beyond the sky :

Oh this beautiful island ! It lends us on
Under the Banner the Savior won
To strive for the Crown, which Faith can
descry

Oh this beautiful island ! The tempter lures

For the place of repentance, and so belie,

Special Correspondence Home Journal.
Lake Worth, Fla., Feb. 7.
Believing that a few facts con
cerning this undeveloped part of
our country would afford interest
to some of the readers of the Home
Journal, I offer such as have pre
sented themselves during my pres
ent visit here. A glance down the
eastern shore of the peninsula of
Florida, will show Jupiter inlet at
the south end of Indian river. Sev
en miles farther south we reach the
north end or head of Lake Worth,
lying parallel with the Atlantic
ocean and an inlet through which
vessels of light draught pass from
ocean to lake. The lake is over
twenty miles in length, averaging
about one mile in width. A strip
of land, averaging about half a mile
wide, separates the lake from the
ocean. At intervals around the
lake and on several islands are va
rious sized tracts of excellent ham
mack land upon which the settlers
are raising tropical fruits and vege
tables for Northern markets.
The favorite and most promising
industry is the raising of cocoanuts.
They seem to bo well adapted to
the soil and climate of this locality.
They grow rapidly with reasonable
care and attention and commence
bearing when six years old. I have
never seen or heard of a oocoanut
tree dying or becoming diseased.
The first settler here more than
twenty years ago found a clump of
a dozen trees bearing, They are
still here always loaded with grow
ing fruit in great bunches. Ripe
nuts are constantly dropping to the
ground. With the exception of
less than half a dozen persons, the
present settlement only dates back
seven or eight years. There are at
this time more than thirty thous
and ooooauut trees growing around
the lake, and more are being plan
i ted as rapidly as the seed can be
Erocured. A few hundred only are
earing, but in the next year or
! two many will commence fruiting,
i The settlers are also turning their
j attention to the raising of oranges,
lemons, iiuies, etc., of which there
are already many trees here which
bear abundant crops of most excel
lent fruit. Pine apples and ba
, nanas seem to grow to perfection.
Tomatoes are a favorite crop and
ripen from January to April. Many
fruits and vegetables, too tender
; for northern aud even middle Flori
da, seem well adapted to the soil
and climate ot this locality. But
the want of transportation facilities
has caused serious inconvenience
and in many cases loss. Having
to depend upon sailing vessels ten
der fruits and vegetables often de
cay through delay by adverse wind.
But one mail each week reaches
the lake. But the future looks more
encouraging. Steamboats on In
dian river are promised in the near
future, railroads are reaching out
in this direction and the dredges
are at work and connecting the dif
ferent liuks in the great chain of
water communication running from
Jacksonville southward, through the
Bears, deer, turkeys and other
game are abundant and the fishing
is as fine as can be found anywhere
as the lake is constantly being
stocked with the finest fish from the
ocean. Muljett, blue fish and pom
pano are among the varieties con
stantly being used by the settlers.
The winter climate is the finest I
have seen anywhere, partly owing
to the fact that the gulf stream
passes very close to land at this
fioint, warm water from which flow
ng into the lake at every tide so
tempers the atmosphere that frost
never occurs around the lake. Du
ring the present month, when re
ports of extreme cold weather come
to us from ail sections, wehave had
no frost. The nearest approach to
it was on Tuesday morning, Janu
ary 22. When tbd thermometer fell
to 42 degrees between the lake and
ocean it only went down to 45 de
grees here. Limes, bananas and
tomatoes are constantly in full
bloom.
I took dinner at onr hotel on the
23d of January and partook of boil
ed corn (roasting ears), ripe toma
toes, Irish and sweet potatoes all
gathered from the hotel garden
that morning. E.Heyssb.
QtIEEB APPLICANTS FOIt A
■ ~ DIVORCE.
Chicago, Jan. 13.—While Judge
Moran was busy yesterday after
noon in his chambers consider
ing some cases, he was surprised
by the entrance of an awkward
looking young man, accompanied
by his wife and mother-in-law. The
Judge inquired what they wished
to see him about and the wife ex
plained that she wanted a divorce.
Her husband abused her, she said,
and when she did not love him
enough he beat her. She had not
begun any suit or filed any papers,
but thought the Judge could fix
the matter up expeditiously jn Chi
cago style. The man also appear
ed to be anxious for a decree. Then
the mother-in-law chipped in and
said her son-in-law had fallen in
love with another woman.
The Judge smiled at the rather
odd way the husband employed to
secure his wife’s affection, and pro
ceeded to give the inismated couple
a good fatherly leoture on the du
ties of husband and wife. While
he-was so engaged a second knock
was heard at his door, and he was
informed that a young couple wan
ted to be married. He hurried
out, beckoning to the parties in
his room to follow him, which they
did. There they looked with mild
contempt on the young Bohemian
and his lady leve, who were jast
entering on the life they were so
anxious to leave, while the Judge
solemnly went through the ceremo
ny which made the twain one, until
they came again. When it was
through the bridegroom asked rath
er sheepishly how much he should
pay
“l won’t charge you anything,”
said the Judge kindly, “if you will
promise not to come here again for
a divorce - ”
The young people looked in
1 each other’s eyes as though such a
thing could never happen to them,
and then the five—new-married,
mismarried and mother-in-law—
went out together.
—When the candidates are sent
up by the respective National Con
ventions the noise and shouting
will begin, and the next election
for President threatens to be as ex
citing and irrational as most that
have gone before. But if it were
not for the interest of the place
holders and the place-hunters, great
and small, what a sober affair the
election of a President of the Uni
ted States would be ?
—A millionaire in Marseilles has
been sentenced to six months’ im
prisonment and heavily fined for
lending young men money at rates
of interest varying from 20 to 60

WOMANS WORK.
OUR MISSIONARY SOCIETIES AND WHAT
THEY DO.
Greshamvuxe, Feb. 15,1884
Editors Home Journal:
I As notice has been called to onr
movement in your local column, we
would be glad for space to place
our work before the ladies of Greeue
county. Some may not be aware
that the women of the M. E. Church
South have organized a Female
Missionary Society.
The women of the eastern harems
can not be reached by our male
missionaries. This fact stimulated
ns to organize ourselves into little
bands and send some of our own
to work among our sisters
whom God, in Ijfis mysterious prov
idence, has placed in situations not
so favorable as our own. With
Mrs. Juliana Hayes at onr head,
we have organized auxiliary soci
eties all over the South.
At our general meeting in Rich
mond, Va., last Spring, 834.868
was appropriated to carry on our
work for the years 18S3 and 1884
We are supporting two ladies iu
China, Mexico, on the Mexicau
border, and in Brazil. Our ladies
are under the protection of the
male missionaries ia the same pla
ces, and the two working.together
are accomplishing more than eith
er could alone. For further infor
mation respecting this movement
all who are interested should ad
dress Mrs. Morgan Callaway, Ox
ford, Ga.
This woman’s movement is giv
ing an impetus to the general mis
sionary work. We would urge
the ladies of Greene county to or
ganize auxiliaries in their "respec
tive churches. If a picket was
found asleep at his post, in the late
war, he was shot. Sisters, a more
sacred trust,has beeu imposed up
on us than the watch fires of the
Confederate army ; let us not be
slow iq discharging our duty.

CHURCH FAIRS AND FESTI
VALS.
The following turn-out of a “fes
tival” enterprise is reported in the
Christian at Work: “When the
proceeds were counted ft was found
th&tth&net gaia in cash was about
$25, which was paid over to the
pastor to apply on his salary , Bnt
the pastor kept a private account
of the affair, which fully convinced
him that the whole festival business
is vanity—even worse than vanity
and vexation of spirit. No doubt
more than three-fourths’ of the re
ceipts of the festival ( 'c4me out of
the pockets of the Chureh mem
bers ; and other items not usually
taken into the account are the fol
lowing :
Cash Account not reported, by the ‘Financial
Committee.' .
20 cakes (donated), at 75c., sls 00
30 quarts strawberries (donated), at 15c, 4 50
Sugar (begged), l go
Labor of 15 women two days, 22 50
Other labor (donated), 5 00
Total S4B 50
Moral Account.
Two ladies prayer-meetings lost.
Two church prayer-meetings greatly dis
turbed.
One teachers’ meeting lost.
One Sabbath service injured.
Every merchant in town bored by ‘church
beggars ’
Nearly all the members of the clmrcb and
congregation more or less excited and an
gered by a useless discussion.
Eight women so excited and angered as
to make them unhappy for a long time.
Two women, ‘sisters’ in .the church, so
'put out’ with each other tliattbey were not
on speaking terms for several weeks.
The pastor greatly grieved and mortified
by various occurrences in connection with
the festival.
Health Account. J
Twenty women and girls more wearied
by the festival work than by a whole week
of ordinary duty at home.
Five women taken" severe colds.
Two children made very siek by over
heating and late hours.
One infant takes a seyere cold, and nearly
dies with the croup, making much trouble
and expense to the parents.
Now, when any one hints that we
ought to have a festival to raise
money for the pastor, he responds
at once by offering to give the
churoh oredit for the amount ex-
Eected from the festival, and not
ave the festival. Of course our
church has gone out of the festi
val business.”
—R. J. Moore and George W.
Wyatt, the only colored members
of the Texas Legislature, sit apart
from the other members, and ap
peared to be spectators merely of
the proceedings. They never join
in the debates, bnt when they vote
not more than half a dozen pistols
are drawn from hip pockets.
—Wht reas now is the time that
my genius need recognition—cash
recognition ; never mind the mon
ument over my grave, dear friends.
Content yourselves with the sim
ple, sincere, and economical tear.
Give me my monument now. I
need a memorial pair of trousers
and a memorial ulster. These boots
need to be monumentally half-soled.
