A DAY.
T*llt not of a 1 Xovenber, when a day
Of warm, glad sunshine fills the sky of
noon,
An 1 a wind, borrowed from some morn of
June,
btijs the brown grasses an 1 the lea less

f'n the unfroVed pool the pillared pine*
I>ay tlie.r long ‘haft* of shadow; the small

S.nging n pleasant song of summer still,
A line of silver, down the hill-slope shinr-s.
Ihi die 1 the b.rd-voiees a’.d the hum of bees.
In the thin grass the crickets pipe no
more;
Ihit. still the squirrel hoards his winter
store,
And drops his nut-shells from the shag hark
trees.
Roftly th<> dark green hemlocks whisper:
high
Above, the spires of yellowing larches
show,
IVhero the woodpecker and home-loving
crow
And jay and nuthatch winter's threat defy.
(> gracious beauty, ever new mid old!
O sights and sounds of nature, doubly dear
W ben the low sunshine warns the closing
year
Of snow-blown fields and waves of Arctic

Close to my heart 1 fold each lovely thing
The sweet day yields; and, not disconso

With the calm patieuco of the woods I

A SWAMP MYSTERY.
ItY WII,I,IAM O, STODDARD.
The summer of the year 1802 was par
ticula ly hot on the coast of North Car
olina. It even did something to coun
teract the more destructive heat of the
civil war.
General Burnside had captured along
reach of the seaboard, and had estab
lished his le ad ,uarters a t Newberue.
No battles followed very soon, nor any
storms to speak of. but the army and the
weather were fast getting into a high
state of preparation for either kind of
event.
There were l nion troops at Fort Macon
and Morelicad C ity, not many miles up
tho coast from N’ewbernc, and much pay
was due them.
Tho money came down from the North
in .Inly, and a couple of paymasters re
ceived orders to go at once and deal it
out to the men.
Before the war a railway had been con
structed from Newberne to Morehead
City. Its rails were still there, but all
its lolling stock, with the exception of
one hand-car had gone into the interior
lire State. The viaduct was only just
wide enough to carry the rails,and much
of its ( ourse was through a swamp whose
dense bushes were row luxuriatly reach
ing out as if they meant to capture the
track before the end of the season.
The Quartermaster placed his one
hand-car at the disposal of the paymas
ters. lie did so with the pleasant infor
mation that at the previous evening the
busy (.'on‘‘(.'derates had made a raid and
had swept away all tire pickets uosted
along the line of the railway. New pick
ott' lm l been posted, he told them, and
their proposed trip would be reasonably
safe.
“That is,” he sad, “I guess you're
safe from any Confeds; but if you don't
get through before dark Id advise you
to be pretty prompt about answering any
hail. The boys’ll all be wide awake
this time. They won't be slow about
taking care of themselves in the dark.
Not a man of ’em wants to go to Wil
mington just now, nor to Andersonvdle
either.' 1
That warning made the Paymaster
shake his head and grew in importance
before the hand-car set out, for it was
plain enough that it would be dark be
fore the trip could be half made. Pre
cise’v how dark it would be or why was
not as yet imagined by anybody.
There were nine men huddled on that
hand-ear when it went. A sergeant and
four soldiers were its motive power,
guard and garrison. The writer of this
sto;y was there altogether ns an adven
turer. Two pa masters, with the rank
of major, and one clerk were in charge
of a black box conta niug over SBO,OOO in
greenbacks, to be scattered among the
volunteers on the morrow.
The air grew more and more close and
sultry, and ust before night a sort of
lia*e began to rise over the eastern hori
zon.
“That's it, Major," said the Sergeant
to one of the paymasters. “We're going
to hear from Cape Hatteras.”
“Storm coming?”
“Right along. ' Twon't take it long
to come.”
lie was correct as to the time required
by Cape Hatteras, or whatever was man
aging that storm. The sky rapidly grew
black as ink and darkness came with
bui moderate reference to the departing
sun.
.lust before entering the denser thick
ets of the swamp, a picket was reached
and the officer in charge repeated the
warning of the Quartermaster:
“He ready to answer right away. It’ll
be pitch dark and some of the boys are
nervous, after last night's work. They'll
shoot quick.”
That was to the Sergeant, but it was a
Paymaster who replied:
“Well, now. Captain, we didn't say
fo, but we thought the trip would be
s: fer by night than by day. The men
have got to have the money.”
“Hope the Confcds won’t get it t' en
Put her through, Sergeant, but look
sharp. The storm's most got 1 ere.” He
also was correct about the weather, lu
ten minutes more such a storm had ar
rived as was a credit to Cape Hatteras
and the whole seaeoa-t of North Caro
lina. On roiled the handcar, its crouch
ing passengers drenched with rain that
fell iu st eams rather than drops. The
lightning ha-hed almost incessantly, and
the thunder seemed to be rolling around
all over the swamp. Except where a
streak of lightning cleft it. the darkness
was like a solid wall, and there was
neither headlight nor hand lantern pro
vided for that handcar.
“Worst storm I ever saw,” remarked
the Sergeant, and one of the brace of
men w lu> were acting as motive power
gruntid back at hm. “It's the worst
kind of a storm, but you can’t see it.”
It was a just correction of the state
ment made by the t-ergeant, but at that
moment a hoarse, deep,all but sepulchral
voice from among the bushes and black
ness at the right of the track com
manded :
“Halt!”
“Stop her! Quick, boys!” exclaimed
the Sergeant, and as the men changed
instantly from motive power into brakes,
he sprang from the car into water above
his knees and waded forward to answer
the hail and give the countersign.
It was all in vain. Down came a

double deluge of rain and thicker dark
ness. Then a vividm -s ot blue elec
tricity danced through the dripp ng
bu-hes and a great roar of Uhunder fol
lowed it as if in search of the hidden
“pi k t.” Neither rain, nor lightning,
nor thunder, nor the anxious question
ings of the St -geant discove red him.
There he w or must hav e been, dead
or alive, for ht had said “h dt,” but that
was apparent y ad he had t o say.
The Sergeant splashed his way back
to the hand-car, u-ing very strong lan
guage.and it was ebeided to go forward.
“We’re just a likely to be fired into,
fir?t thing,” retna ked the Paymaster's
clerk, “and they'd hit gone of us. sure!''
Botli of the j *y masters agreed with
him. and one expressed his satisfaction
that the box containing the greenbacks
was waterproof.
“That’s more than I am.” said one of
the “-oldiers. “This er rain's got through
my roof. I can feel it trickle down in
side of me.”
The hand-car was not propelled rapid
ly after that, but the lightning and
thunder worked harder than ever. Per
haps half a mile had been gained, when
another voice, on the left this time and
not so near, b ,t equally hoarse and per
emptory, shouted:
“Halt!”
< ither words which seemed to follow
were swallowed up '>y a wide-mouthed
clap of thunder, and so was the Ber
geant's prompt respoi vse, but in an in
stant he was among the bushes.
The first we heard fpom him was:
“ Boys, it's up to my waist and getting
deeper 1”
“Go on, Sergeant!” shouted one of the
paymasters. “ They’ll be shooting at us
if they don't get an answer!”
“Hurrah for General Burnside!”
squawked the Paymaste r’s clerk, in a
vague eilort to let any supposed picket
know which side he was <on, but a severe
sternness from the further end bade him:
“Shut up! Halt! Come along! ”
“I’m coming!” shouted the Sergeant.
“Friend! Paymaster!”
“Shut up! Come alongJ” responded
the threatening voice beyond him.
For a full quarter ot an hour the Ser
geant groped and floundered among
those bushes. Again he used strong
language; very strong, indeed; but not a
soul came to meet him, nor did another
word reply to his repeated requests that
the picket should advise Him as to what
course he should take.
The party on the handi-car cowered
under sheets and torrents, and wdiole
mill-ponds of falling water, and hoped
that there might be a cessation of the
lightning flashes, so that any hidden
riflemen would be less able to shoot
straight.
“I give it up,” said the voice of the
Sergeant at last. He was only three
paces from the car, but he was invisible.
“The boys know who we are,” said
one of the soldiers, “and we can go on;
but it’s au awful mean joke to play in
such a rain as this.”
“There’s something more than that in
it,” said oneof tho paymasters. “There’s
a trap of some kind. We’ll never get to
Morehead City.”
“We'll go ahead, anyhow.'” said tho
Sergeant. “There’s as much danger be
hind as there is before.”
“I’m glad I hurrahed for Burnside,”
remarked tho Paymaster's clerk.
On went the hand-car into the water
soaked darkuess, and another mile or
more was rolled over before the wayside
summons was sonorously repeated.
“Onu.lc. .now. Serceantl” said the
Senior Paymaster.
“Don't know, Major,” he replied.
“That fellow's away into the swamp.
He’s got under cover. I couldn’t even
lind him. Risk it! Boys, risk it! Run
ahead. They can’t hit us if they do
tire.”
“Halt!” came warningly out of the
blackness as the hand-ear dashed for
ward, and with it came thunder that
sounded like a rattle of musketry.
“They didn't work their joke this
time, Major,” said the Sergeant.
“There’s more than that in it,” said
the Major. “Pm glad we’re past that
picket, but I’m afraid we're running into
trouble. They may have surprised More
head City and the fort.”
“Reckon not, Major. Run her your
level best, boys. We won’t halt again
for anybody.”
That was brave talk, but in less than
twenty minutes he exclaimed:
“Hold on, boys! That picket is right
on the track. Stop her for your lives!”
They did so, as an ominous and menac
ing throat repeated:
“Halt! Halt!” and from the rear, at
the same moment, other voices seemed
to say:
“Got ’em! Got ’em now?”
“I'm afraid they have,” groaned the
Major, “money and all, and we're on our
way to Wilmington.”
“No use to hurrah for Burnside this
time,’’ squeaked the Paymaster's clerk.
The Sergeant ran ahea 1 along the track
until he missed his footing in the dark
and w ent off into a grimy depth of water
and black mud, just as somebody said :
“Who’s there?” and he was trying to
respond :
“Friend, w ith the countersign.”
His mouth has too much in it for suc
cess and once more he used strong and
very volcanic expressions as soon as his
vocal organs were at work again. Then
w r e heard him sav:
“Come along, boys. There isn't any
body here, and the water’s six inches
deep over the track.’’
It was a doleful mystery, and the
chance of being fired into grew grisley
enough' as the ear was dubiously urged
forward.
The fierceness of the storm diminished,
and thus, with a great gust of wind from
Cape Hatteras, it ceased. More wind
came and swept away the clouds. The
moon came out gloriously, and at tl\at
ve v moment the Paymaster's clerk ex
claimed :
“Quick, Sergeant! They could see
to shoot now!”
“Halt! Come along! Got'em! Got
'em! Bully! Better mount! Better
mount!”
That was what it sounded like, but
the Sergeant exclaimed:
“Abraham Lincoln! If it doesn't make
five times that we've been halted by those
Confederate frogs!”
In half an hour more we were all safe
in Morehead City, leaving the frogs to
play jokes on somebody else. Chica-jo

A Slight Mistake.
“Hark! Listen to that, will you!
1 hat's a panther and no mistake!”
Ihe man at the oars stopped rowing
end all bent forwaid, eagerly li-tening
for a repetition of the cry they had
heard.
Presently it came again, a yell half hu
man, half demoniacal, that made the
forest ring with wild echoes.
“Correct!” cried Buck Lindsley, an
old guide and hunter who accompanied
the party of sportsmen. “Nothing but
a painter could make that noise. I've
hunted 'em off an' on for thirty years, an' I
know their voice as well as I do my
own!”
“Shall we land and give chase?" asked
Ellsmore, the youngest man and best shot
in the party.
“Yes, yes'” cried his companion in
chorus.
“What would you advise?” asked Ells
more, turning to the guide.
“\\ hy gentlemen, you know the pain
ter is a mighty tough animal to tackle
but ”
“There it is again!” cried one of the
men, as the hideous yell pealed over
woods and water. “Come on. Mr. Lind
sey. and show us the sport. We’re not
afraid of the danger!”
Accordingly the boat was headed
toward shore. The moment it grated on
the sand the men sprang out.
“This way!” exclaimed|BuckLindsb y.
And, guided by the cries that floated at
intervals through the forest, the men
darted forward.
“The animal, be it panther or other
wise, seems to stay in nearly one spot,"
said “Ellsmore, as they drew nearer to
the source cf the outcries.
Cautiously they advanced until only a
thicket of oaks separated them from their
prey. Piercing through this they step
ped into the opening beyond, their rifles
ready for instant use.
Before them was a small log shanty,
and oil a stump beside the door sat a
young man, holding in his hands a French
horn.
Placing it to his lips he blew a blood
curdling blast, the liendish cry they had
attriouted to the panther!
“Great Scott!” gasped Ellsmore.
“Gewhillikens!” cried Smith.
“Bless my soul!” exclaimed Brown.
“Well, I'll be darned!” growled Lind
sley.
“Is there anything I can do for you,
gentlemen?” asked the stranger, as he
advanced toward the formidable array of
hunters.
“What are you doing here?” blurted
Lindsley.
“Camping out for a few weeks while I
learn to play the horn!” cheerfully an
swered the young man, pulling his mous
tache over a capital imitation of a smile.
Four shame faced hunters filed away
toward the boat. Three sportsmen, sad
der but wiser, took the next train for
town. And while relating their hunting
experiences to circles of admiring friends
they somehow forgot to tell their exciting
chase after a panther.
On the Far Pacific.
The development of the resources of
our Pacific coast is quite as remarkable
in its way; but the actual figures of the
census will not be so sensational. Cali
fornia was a mining region originally.
Its first contributio i to the wealth of
tho world was in the millions of gold it
non red. into all the channels of trade
throughout the world. But mining'is
now one of the least of the industries of
the region beyond the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. Gram growing, fruit raising,
stock breeding are now the main sources
of its wealth. The mining boom pro
duced unwholesome social disturbances.
But the industries on which the people
of the Pacific coast now depend are more
normal in their character. It is a mar
velously beautiful country, and in tho
fullness of time will develop a race equal
to the very choicest people of the East.
It is probably the most wholesome
country in the world. Asa sanitarium,
there is nothing equal to Southern Cali
fornia to be found anywhere. It is des
tined to support a dense agricultural
population, for small farms of fifteen
and twenty acres will produce as much
wealth in the way of fruits, nuts, grapes,
olives, and other valuable articles, as
will hundreds of acres devoted to grain
in other parts of the country. Then,
some time or other, a mighty commerce
will be developed on the Pacifie Ocean.
China, Japan and Hindostan fairly
swarm with human beings whose com
mercial wants have not yet been devel
oped. Then there is growing up in the
British colonies on the Pacific tens of
millions ol Anglo Saxons whose instinct
it is to “go down to the sea in ships.”
The vast trade of the Atlantic Ocean
will in the next, century be far out
stripped by the mightier commerce of
the Pacific, whieli of course will enrich
our descendants pn the American Pacific
coast.— Demorest's Monthly.

A Grfat Danger which Menaces an Insn#.
pictous Public.
The Brompt m Hospital for Consumptives,
in London, renoffs that over fifty people
out every hundred - onsumptives, are victims
of constqjate i or ina tive k dneys.
Consumption is one of our national dis
eases an 1 the above report goes to prove
what h i- often been said in our columns dur
ing the last euht years, that kidney troubles
are not only the cause of more than half the
ca-ei of c usumption, but cf ninety out of
e. er, hundred other common diseases. Thev
who ha e taken this position, male their
‘ laims n;t a r an elaborate investigation, and
their pr f that they have discovered a spe
cific for the terrible an 1 stealthy kidney dis
eases, which have become so prevalent
among us. is wise and convincing.
We have recently received from them a
fresh supply of their wonderful advertising.
They have,challenged themedi -at profession
and science to investigate. Thev have in
vestigate!, and those who are frank have
admitted the truth of their statements.
Th y claim that ninetv per cent, of diseases
come originally from ina tive kidneys; that
these inactive kidnej T s allow the bicod to be
come tilled with uric acid poison: that this
uric acid poisou in the blood carries disease
through every organ.
There is enough uric acid developed in the
sy -tom within twenty-four hours to kill half
a dozen men.
This being a scientific fact, it requires only
ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive
kidneys must have upon the system.
If this pois >n is not removed, it ruins every
organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be
come inactive, we know it at once, but other
organs help them out. If the kidneys become
constipated and dormant, the warning comes
later on. and often when it is too late, be
cause the effects are remote from the kidneys
aud those organs are noQsuspected to be out
of order.
Organs that are weak and diseased are un
able to resist the attacks of this poison, and
the disease often takes the form of and is
treated as a lo al alliiction, when iu reality
the real cause of the trouble was inactive
kidneys.
Too many medical men of the present day
hold what was a faff twenty years ago, that
kidney disease is incurable, according to the
medicines authorized by their code. Hence,
they ignore the original cause of disease it
self, and give their attention to useless treat'
ing of local effects.
They dose the patient with quinine, mor
phine, or with salts and other physics, hop
ing that thus nature may cure the disease,
while the kidneys continue to waste away
with inflammation, ulceration and decay, and
the victim eventually perishes.
The same quantity of blood that passes
through i he heart,passes through the kidneys.
If the kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks up
this disease and takes it all through the sys
tem. Hence it is, that th 9 claim is made that
Warner's safe cure, the only known spe
cific for kidney diseases, cures 90 per cent,
of human ailments, because it, and it alone,
is able to maintain the natural activity of tho
kidneys, and to neutralize and remove tho
uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is
formed.
If this acid is not removed, there is inactiv
ity of the kidneys, and there will be produced
iu tho system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep
sia, consumption, heart disease, headaches,
rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all
the nameless diseases of delicate women. If
tho poisonous matter is separated from the
blood, as fast as it is formed, these diseases,
in a majority of cases, would not exist.
It only requires a particle of small-pox
virus to produce that vile disease, and the
poisonous mat er from the kidneys, passing
all through the system and becoming lodged
at different weak points, is equally destruc
tive, although more disguised.
If it were possible for us to see into the
kidneys, and how quickly tho blood passing
through them goes to the heart and lungs and
other parts of the system, carrying this
deadly virus with it, all would believe with
out hesitation what has so often been stated
in advertisements in these columns, that the
kidneys are the most important organs in the
boi ly.
They may regard this article as an adver
tisement and refuse to believe it, but that is
a matter over which we have no control.
Careful investigation and science itself are
proving beyond a doubt that this organ is,
in fact, more important than any other in
the .. stem as a health regulator, and as such
should be closc.lv .wat he.l for the least sign
ol disordered action.

shoulder to a former lover.
“It’s just too bad the se high hats have
come in now,” returned Miss Grace, “for
Arty is just gone on you. He’s not to
blame for being short.”
“That’s so, Gracie, and he isn’t short
iu pocket, you know, but ”
“It seems to me oue oughtn’t to judge
a lover by his stature, but by how much
he thinks of one. You ought to pity
poor Arty, for he is as solemn as an owl
since you sacked him. and does nothing
but sigh.”
“I agree with you there, and that is
how I do judge him—by his size.”

A CO-OPERATIVE CjLONT.
The Knights of I.abor Start a New Enter,
prise.
Within the last few weeks over 30
families whose heads are Knights of
Labor have left Chicago for anew co
operative town established fifty miles
from Memphis, Tenn , and called Ten
nessee City. The city, of which glow
ing stories are told, was founded by a
business house of this city which deals
largely in Tennes ee lands. Some local
Knights of Labor thought it would be a
good idea to move down there and run
stores and factories on a eo operative
plan. A committee was sent a month
ago to examine the soil, water, iron and
timber resource? and upon its return re
ported everything exceedingly favor
able. The climate was good, and the
natural attractions of the place excellent,
and the committee bought some ground
and took immediate steps looking
toward the establishment of a colony.
Those interested in the new city are very
enthusiastic in their statements concern
ing it. They say that the War
ner furnace near by, which is now
out of repair will be put in order at
once and in about 30 days will be iu
operation. The Knights will manufac
tuie nails and employ 300 men in- the
nail factory. Brick machines having a
capacity of 30,000 per day have been
bought and shipped, and as soon as the
colony is in running order the capacity
will be increased to 60,000. Charles
Lange, of Chicago, has been in Tennes
see City and bought up ground for a
sash, door and blind factory. Other
factories and stores will be started as
soon as practicable.
The ground that is to be occupied by
the colony consists, it is said, of 120,000
acres, divided into 40-acre tracts. The
town itself eoovers 2,200 acre*, and is
situated on a tableland 2,000 feet above
the level of the sea. Timber, iron ore
and limestone abound. The city will
be incorporated inside of two weeks,
and a City Hall, public school and
engine house will be built at once, and
in 20 days 200 houses will be built. The
Englewood Collego is four or five miles
from the city. Property is selling at $7
to $lO an acre, and a stock company is
formed, the first Board of Directors of
which will consist of seven men, six of
them Knights of Labor Last week
about 20 Knights of Labor left for the
new city, and to night about 30 families
departed. The projectors of the scheme
expect to get 1,000 families settled
down there inside of the next 12
months. Eight hours with fair wages
will be the rule.
Useful and Hurtful Medicines.
There is a certain cla-s of remedies for con
stipation absolutely useless. These are boluses
and pot ons made In great part of podophyl
lin, aloes, rhubarb, gamboge and other worth
less ingredients. The damage they do to the
stomachs of those who use them is incalcula
ble. They evacuate the bowels, it is true, but
always do so violently and profusely, and he
side, gripe the bowels. Their effect is to
weaken both them and the sto nach. Better
far to use the agreeable aud salutary aperien*
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the laxative effect
of which is never preced and by pain, or accom
panied by a convuls ve, violent action of the
bowels. On the contrary, it invigorates those
organs, the stomach and the e tire system.
Asa means of curing and preventing malaria
fevers, no medicine can compare with it, and
it remedies nervous debility.lrhenmatism, kid
ney and bladder inactivity, and other inor
ganic ailments.
The fears of one class of men are not the
measure of the rights of another.
