PAUL HAMILTON HAYXE.
* It may be that Shelley’s genius
was little affected by the fact that
he was the son of a Sir Timothy,
who prided himself on a descent
from a long line of British squires;
and perhaps it had little to do with
Byron’s success as a poet that he
was norik in the purple of the Eng
lish aristocracy;yet we can believi
that gentle blood in a poet’s veins
lends to him a truer love for and a
keener appreciation of nature, and
* a deeper feeling for the finer impuls
es ofhumanity than might other
wise be his. Good birth, as a gener
al thing, argues good breeding re
finement, education, fixed and
high social position, and a wide
I margin of getlerous leisure; ail of
which have much to do with the
outcome of a poet’s life. Tennyson
laboring for his daily bread would
be far different from Tennyson pro
ducing poems at his “unhasting
ease.” The beautiful spontaniety
of his work would be gone.
It is, therefore, to the advantage
of Paul Hamilton Hayne as a poet
that he had ancestors—“ancestors
by descent, not by purchase”—as
one of Gilbert’s characters says.
True, our poet, in most unrepubli
can fashion, wishes that these self
same ancestors had been content to
stay in their (our-hundrcd-years-old
Shropshire manor house, that they
and he might tiave beeq spared tlie
questionable benefits of our-land of
business before poetry:
“Cloud-girded land, brave laud beyond
‘the sea!
Land of my fathers' love! imwoft I
veam
Toward thy famed ancestral shores to
turn,
Roaming thy glorious shores in liber-
. ty.”
The Haynes were, early in colo
nial days, immigrants to Charles-
* ton, South Carolina, and from the
first were important in the affairs
of the young'Statc. They furnished
• noble patriots, who shed their blood
to obtain liberty for the country of
t heir adoption. The strongest of this
partrician family was the poet’s un
cle, Robert Y. Hayne, Governor,
and later United States Senator,
whose memorable controversy with
Daniel Webster fixed his own fame
and evoked irom t lie New England
statesman what his latest biogra
pher calls his“greatest and most re
nowned oratoricaleffort” It is
. glory enough to have been crushed
by such a reply. And, by the way,
these two truly great men, as the
story books would say, “lived
happily ever after” that wonderful
argument, so far as their affection
ate personal relations were con
cerned. Hayne himself once said,
■<A man who can make such speech
es as that ought never to die.” But
to our poet :
Paul H. Hayne was born in
Charleston on the first day of the
year. He was the only child of
Lieutenant Hayne,a naval officer,
who died at sea when his son was
an infant; his mother, who died
about five years ago, was a Soiith
Carolina lady, of good English and
Scotch descent. The son was gradua
ted from Charleston College. The
world was before him, and with the
prestige of a noble name, high posi
tion and sufficient amount of wealth
he was free to choose his path. His )
fondness for letters, especially poe
try, was pronounced, and there was
everything to fesfer liis love.
* The Charleston of forty years ago
was a very different place from the
Charleston of to-day. The old
Hugenot- ele .lent, with its aristo
cratic names and associations, w ith
the large admixture of good Eng
lish blood, tended to make it
somewhat exclusive. “Boston her
self.” says one writer, ‘did not gath
er the mantle of her self-ini'
portanee in a more queenly man-
- IU , r about her than did this city by
the sea. There was a decided iit-
esftfy element, too, among its high-
9 er classes. Legare’s wit and schol
arship brightened its social circle;
Calhoun’s deep shadow loomed
over it from his plantation at Fort
Hill- Gilmore Simms’ genial cul
ture’ broadened its sympathies.”
•’•The latter gathered about him a
I band of brilliant youths in literary
suppers at his home and here it was
that-the love for Elizabethan lore
o K i English classics, which is one
•I Hayne’s characteristics, received
its best stimulants.
On graduating from college Hayne

A. B. CATES, Newnan* a-
ant, literature
seemed fairer than
law, and zephyrs from Parnassus
persistently blew in through the
fice window.
The year after he attained his
majority, the youug lawyer was
married to Miss Mary Middiet, n
Michel, of Charleston, the only-
daughter of Dr. William Micnet
Shad beeu one of the distin- out
guisued surgeons in the army of
Napoleon the First. Of her it is but
the scantest justice to say that she
has been the inspiration, the stay,
thejoy of the poet’s life. As Mar
garet J. Preston well says, “no poet
was ever more blessed in a wife,
and she it is who, by her self-renun
ciation, her exquisite sympathy, her
positive material help, her bright
hopefulness, has made endurable
the losses and trials that havi
crowded Mr. Hayne’s life. Those
who know how to read between the
lines can see everywhere the inliu-
ence of this irradiating and stimu
lating presence.”
Then came the disasters of war.
Hayne, though from childhood del
icate it. health, became a member Gf
Gov. Pickens’s staff. During the
bombardment of his native city his
' euutiftil home,with his magnificen*
library, was utterly destroyed, the
greater part of iiis movable proper
ty, plate, jewels, etc., were saved
only to he lost in the famous* march
to the sea.” His health compelled
him to withdraw from military af-
uirs. There was nothing left foi
the homeless, ruined man hut an
exile among the “Pine Barrens” o'
Georgia. There, a few miles from
the city of Augusta, he settled ii.
utter seclusion in a small cabin of
unseasoned lumber, behind whose
screen of vines, surrounded by the
melons, berries and peaches of his
own raising,he has fought—is fight
ing—the battle of life with uncorn
plaining bravery, persisting through
all in being happy. There at “Copse
Hill” he has lived for fifteen y’ears,
content with Iitile of th s world’s
goods, happy in doing what of his
chosen work his frail health will
permit, living in manly independ
ence. The little house itself shows
that romance has entirely died out
of the world, and that all poets do
not house themselves in brick walls
or behind brown-stone fronts. Its
interior is cheery; for it has been
patiently decorated in a fashion at
once homelike and artistic by the
iiand of' Airs. Hayne. The walls
arc papered with engravings, care
fully selected from the current pe
riodicals. Air. Hayne’s study
lined with pictures of eminent men
views of noted places and scenes of
public interest, so arrange-,i as to
leave no break in the wltT.b. His
desk, at which ha always stands
while writing, is made out of the
two ends of the work-bench used in
building the cottage. Airs. Hayne
has contrived to transform it into an
antique bit of furniture. The little
book-cases near by are made of box
es, fancifully decorated t - suit the
room. Taken as a whole, the po
et’s study—and indeed, his entire
house, for that matter—is fairly en
titled to he described hv that much

A word as to Haynv' 1 publish
ed' works. His first volume of
poems was published in Boston
1855,when he was twenty-five years
old, his second in 1S57 and his third
in 186*1 and then came the famou
war lyrics, “Aiy Alotherland,” “The
Substitute,” “Beyond the Potomac
and many others. The last named
was singled out for praise by Dr.
Holmes on the poetry of the war
“Legends and Lyrics,” the poets
fourth and best collection of poems
appeared in 1ST? and a fifiti volume
appeared in 1S76. Air. Hayne’s
edition of the poems ot his friend
Henry Timrod, is well known tor
the pathetic memoir which prelac-
es it.
Havne’s position in the liter
ature of the time may justly be
called the greatest living Southern
poet. In his work there is a tine
reeling and a daiu’eness of expres
sion which greater poets have mis
led. His sonnets delighted Leigh

I was going to say a word about
the silent South, and I hope I may
deal fairly with this question, tor it
is one that is very important and
that every true American citizen
should try to understand. I got to
thinking it over the other day while
looking down over the Senate of
the United States. While
doing so, an elderly Senator, with
the air of a hungry man, ordered
lunch. I wanted to see a live Sena
tor attack his food, and what his or
der was, so I took a large, expen
sive opera-glass, which I always
carry with me, and watched the
venerable gentleman. He secured
a pot of tea,half a pumpkin pie, and
a small plate of butter. He then,
with an air of great reluctance, re
moved a large, oblong butternut-
eoiored wad of some foreign sub.
stance from the interior of his
cheek, laid it down gently where
he could recover it at once in case
of fire or accident, poured out his
tea in the saucer to cool, and began
to butter his pie. He spread the en
tire mass over the sorrel surface
this delicacy, and then cut it into
sections about one and a half or two
inches each way, and then he ran
his knife under the bottom of each
one, raised it gently to a level with
the base of his nose, ran his long
red flexible, scholarly tongue out in,
a horizontal manner under the
knife, so a to prevent any possiole,
accident, gathered in the rectangu
lar wad of pie,grappled andgurgled
with it for a moment, and then,
with a quick, sinuous movement of
the neck, a low metallic rattle of
the (esophagus, a wild, choked
hunted look in the eye, and a sigh
oi unutterable relief, he was ready
for the next. Slowly but certainly
the venerable Senator inserted this
buttered half of a large pumpkin
pie into himself in this manner,
without once drawing blood blood
in the corners of his mouth
with the keen and tren
chant blade of his knile
and then he turned to peruse his
tea.
I asked a friend if he would tel
me the name of this venerable Sen
ator, and he said it was Senator
Brown, of Georgia.
Just then Senator Brown, of
Georgia, saturated the first two
joints of lus thumb in his saucer of
tea, raised the beverage to his clear-
cut mouth, looked across the amber
surface, closed his eyes in dolorous
for,- ^ilness, and turned that tea
i is true inwardness with a
si ud a rumble, and last long
fa 1 gurgle, that jarred the
glass in the wiudows and sounded as
though he had torn his diaphragm
in two. I heard men drink tea from
a saucer in a high falsetto tone of
voice, but never before heard a
man absorb this beverage in such
clarion tones as Senator Brown, of
Georgia.
And yet that region has been
called “the silent South.” Bill Nye.

a club in his hand and fire in his

of a midwinter night the fond youth

Does such a father ever stop to con
sider that love is the deepest emo

Careless is he about outraging the
tenderest feeling of the human
heart. His mind filled only with
sordid thoughts, he bursts in on the
nappy pair, exclaiming:

To the most of us it is a sweet

the whole air with such joy and
gladness as do the songs of the birds
when the summer morning comes
out of the darkness, and X day is
born again to the world.

sweet, fragrant flowers which our

To one this possession is a home

falls, over whose threshold no voice
of sorrow is ever heard; to another
it is a palace built upon eternal
hills, proud in grandeur of spires
and pinnacles; again, to the arorn
and weary, it is a season of complete
rest, and to all it is an untiring
enjoyment.
It is a most fit subject for the most
fervent petition, to pray to be de

comes when hope in the fntnre, in
the “sweet sometime,” is lost.

Now, what’s the use of it ? When
a couple get married and go off on
a bridal tour why so misbehave
themselves as to be “spotted” by
every man, woman and child on the
train for “fresh fish ?” How silly
the thing must appear to them
when they look back after a period
of six months! Are we fools whei
in love, and are we idiots when we
marry?
The couple I have in mind had ;
seat in the middle of the car. She
was his’n and he was hers. All the
tomfoolery of courtship days was
over. The preacher had made them
one, anil her father would no longer
set the dog on him or place torpe
does around the gate. She didn’t
show the least disposition to jum|
out of the car window, but all of a
sudden he grabbed her by the paw.
She grabbed hack. Then he leaned
over at an angle of 45 deg’s,and she
fell toward him. It was a very un
comfortable position, but they main
tained it with scarcely any change
for hours. Her hat got skewed
around almost hindside before, but
she would not release her clutch for
fear he’d go through the roof. His
collar wilted and his necktie worked
around under bis ear, but if he’d
let go her paw she’d think he was
mad.
“Darling!” said he in a bullfrog
.vhisper, “doesn’t it seem funny?
“I can’t realize it,” she answered,
as she raked one of her black hair
pins across his nose.
“Ail mine?”
“Yes, lovey.”
“Never get mad ?”
“Never, sweety.”
The man on the seat behind them
folded up the paper, picked up his
grip and changed to a seat across
the aisle. As he sat down a moth
erly looking woman inquired:
“Are they married?”
“I think,so, madam.”
“And can nothing be done to stop
it?”
“I think not.”
For two or three minutes the
newly wedded were silent.
“Darling!” she suddenly sighed.
“What is it, my angel?”
“Darling!”
“What Is it? If any base hyena
has dared to cause you a rnomen
unhappiness I’ll murder him. Point
out the animal!”
“It isn’t that."
“Then what?”
‘Tin—I’m afraid you’ll be—be
mad.”
“No, I won’t. How could I be
mad at you? What is it, Dolly ?”
“Why, I wish you’d wipe the
sweat out of that left ear. Now,
you love me just the same, don’t
you ?”
“Of course.”
“And you ain’t mad?”
“Why, no. There now—who cares
who’s looking?” It’s nobody’s busi
ness anyhow!”
There was another interval of si
lence, during which she tried to re
member whether they were en
gaged the week before her father
gave Henry the boot or whether it
was the next Sunday after.
“Henwy?”
“What, angel?”
‘Aie we really married
“Yes, love.”
“And you love me ?”
“With all my heart.”
“And you ain’t mad?”
“No, dearest.”
Then I’m so happy!

He knew just how we must feel hut
the road wasn’t to blame. The con
ductor came back to the car aud
asked us not to lay it up against
him. He was a poor man, had been
out of a job several months, and this
was his first run.
Well, the long and short of the
matter was that eighteen or twenty
of us rode 150 miles with that jisno-

happen again—never. We shook
hands on that, and agreed we’d

Yew W' od Preservatives.
Im mersing the lower ends of fence
posts in hot coal tar will preserve
the outside lor years, but it very
frequently happens that in usinj
small trees from four to eight inch
in diameter the heart wood is the
first to decay. This often occurs
with chestnut posts that are set be
fore they are thoroughly .teasoned.
To prevent this decay at the center,
as well as of ail that part of the post
placed below ground, by the use cf
wood preserving solutions, my
friend and neighbor, J. J. Suckert,
Pti. D., suggests a system which
strikes metis being not only novel,
but exceedingly’valuable as well. It
is to have a hole in thecenterof the
post, from the bottom upward, to a
point that shall he above the ground
when the post is in a position. Then
bore another hole in the side of the
post with a slight inclination down
ward, making ail opening in the
center hole, which will allow iree
passage. A wooden plung, two or
three inches long, should be driven
snugly into the hole at the bottom
of the post, in order to prevent the
escape of any liquid that may be
used in the operation. Now when
the posts are set in an upright posi
tion, a preservative solution may be
introduced into the hole in the side
and the center one filled with it, af
ter which a cork or plug of some
kind should be inserted in the side
hole to prevent evaporation, as well
as to kee out dust and insects. The
solu’u“ .■thus introduced will grad
ual^ absorbed by the surround
ing wood, until all parts along the
entire length of the central cavity
must become completely 7 saturated.
When the solutions used have been
taken up by the surrounding wood,
it will only be necessary 7 to with
draw the cork, or plug, and apply
more, it it is thought desirable. A
common watering pot with a slen
der spout will be a handy vessel to
use in distributing the solutions.
Petroleum, creosote, corrosive
sublimate, or any 7 other of the well-
known wood preservatives may he
used in this way. Telegraph posts
might he prepared in the same way,
and if the central reservoir were
kept filled with petroleum, they
would last a hundred years or more.
Where a large number of posts are
tube prepared, it would he cheaper
to have the holes bored by steam
or horse power than by hand. With
very open and porous wood it is
quite probable that a hole bored
in the side of the post and above the
ground, and deep enough to hold a
half pint or more of creosote or some
similar solution, would answer, hut
I think a central cavity reaching to
the bottom would be best. Will the
readers of the American Agricul
turist who give this plan a trial, re
port the result? —A. S. Fuller in

The habitual consumption of beer
excessive quantities tends to
hypertrophy by the direct action of
alcohol upon the heart, by the
enormous amount of fluid introduc
ed into the body, and by the easily
assimilated nutritive constituent of
the beer itself. Furthermore, such
nabits are often associated with
great bodily activity and at least
relatively 7 luxrious manner of life.
The average weight of the normal
heart In men is relatively greater
in Alunich than elsewhere, a fact,
without doubt, dependent upon the
excessive consumption of beer in
that city 7 . The characteristic chang
es in the form of hypertrophy-
under consideration consists in the
participation of both sides of the
heart and in an enormous increase
in the volume of the primitive mus
cular elements, with enlargement
of the nuclei. 'Vnether or not ac
tual numerical increase in the
muscular fibres takes place cannot
he known. Alany individuals ad
dicted to such excesses attain an
advanced age notwithstanding
cardiac hypertrophy, by reason ot
constitutional peculiaries, an active
open air life,or an enforced moder
ation, but the greater number per
ish alter a brief illness with symp
toms of cardiac failure. At the post
mortem examination are discover
ed moderate dropsy, pulmonary
oedema, brown induration of the
iungs, bronchitis, congestion of the
lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys and
other organs. Fatty degeneration
of the muscular wall of the heart is
absent in most of these cases, and
death must in the absence of ade
quate anatomical lesions le
looked upon as due to paralysis of
the cardiac nerves and ganglia. The
condition of such subjects not rarely
amounts to a true plethora of the
most typical kind, such as is seen
among the drivers of beer wagons
and workers in beweries in this
country. The excesses in beer com
mon in some parts of Germany are
rare in the new world, but that
such excesses are attended by a
direct and grave danger, hitherto
but little suspected, should be
generally understood.—Medical

nessoi making iron rails which had
been superseded by steel rails,
Since then these extensive work
that at that time employed 600
hands, have been idle. After
thorough investigation of the possi
bility of making Bessemer steel
rails at a profit, the directors have
decided to establish a Bessemer

some manufacturers and some
mechanics. It is proposed to send
out invitations to these 9,000 people
asking them to meet the Northern
settlers at their convention, that
they may personally examine into
the reasourees and attractions of

ially, snould not make the mistake
of planting too closely. Rows four

One reason why 7 so many potato
crops arc failures is because the vi
tality of the seed has been impaired
tbefore planting. Potatoes left in
large bins in dark cellars will quick
ly grow long white sprouts as soon as
warm weather comes, All the sub
stance in these i-hoots must come
from the potato, and i‘< true ts from
the nourishment ati.red for ihe
young plant when it begins to grow.
Secondary sprouts will start from
che base alter the first are broken
off, but they are never as strong a-
the first. As soon as the buds be
gin to push on seed potatoes they
should be got from c :llar or pit
and spread thinly in a light room
viier” the temperature until plar.t-
i.u will not he more than 40 or 50
deg. Buds will start from potatoes
thus treated, but they will be green
and with care in planting will he sc
much start for the crop. In this
way early potatoes may be advan
ced a week or ten days overt host
planted with seed as taken fr .m
e potato bin.
