To a large extent tiie cattle raisers of the State havo discarded tho old thorough bred scrub stock nnd linvo expended considerable wealth nwd time in improv ing their herds. Consequently an epi demic of this dread disease would lie of incnlcnlable injury to thoHtntein a finan cial point of view. Macon Telegraph: Tho Savannah Truck farmers aro investigating fruitcans ning establishments for the benefit of their association. The true solution of the truck question lies in this direction. Last season, experience, if it taught any thing, taughtthat truck is of too perish able a nature to l>e shipped long distan ccs at owner’s risk. Tiie demand for canned, fruits we are told, has never been sully supplied, and should the sup ply for the time exceed tho demand, there iB no danger of Ja glutted mnrkct J.ike cotton, canned fruit can lie hold for an active market, A’tWDA Y EVE AT SEA.

Of marriage bolls on a Bahheth day, In a beautiful village by the sea, When tlio world was bright, all filled with delight, For my own Annio and me. A score of years have passed since then, And I've auohorcd my ship ill many a hay, Cut my loved ones, dear, ever aeem more rear The farthor I sail away, Mnmenls there are when I may forget To think of one spot o'er tiie sea afar, Of tiie Joy and llghtof a homo made bright By lovo, wlioro my treaaures aro; But whenever tlio Sunday evening comes, An I tlio waves aro floroe and tlio night Is ilrvar, Like angels of love, as if sent from above, My loved ones seem hovering noar.

Yo nto and drink like fighting cocks; y’aro clothed in silk nnd plush nnd brondcloth, nnd your wnges is nil pocket money nnd pin-money. Yet ye must roll tho rnnn thnt feeds nnd clothos yo." "It ia truol it is truol" oried tho butler. "Ho snakes liko a priest," said tlio woman. "Oh, nlnnna I don't tie hard on its; it is all the devil's doiugs; ho timptod us. Oh ! oh I oh I” "Whisht, now, and snako sinso," said Pntriok, roughly. "Is It multod ?" "It is not.’’ "Can you lay your bauds on it?" “Wo oan, ovory stiver of it. Wo in tituled to put it hack." "That's a lie," said Patrick, firmly, Imt uot iu the least reproachfully, "Now look nt me, the wliolo clan of ye, male and fnymnlo. Which would yournthor du—help mo find tho gimorneks, overy article of ’em, or lio lagged nnd scragged nnd stretched on a gibbet nnd such like llignnt diva)sinus?’ 1 They Hiintohud eagerly nt tho plank of safety held out to them, nnd from that minute acted under Mr. O'Unfforty's orders.

With this understanding Hqnire Grins Squire Ormlisy's pantry was broken into nnd rolibod of a largo nnionnt of valnnblo plates. Mr. Ormsliy distrusted the police nnd publicity in those eases, nnd his wife prevailed on him to send for Patrick O'Rafferty, tlio village seer. That worthy enme, nnd honrd tho story. Ho lookod nt the lady nnd gon- ilcmnn, and his Holf-deoepfion begun hi nozo out of him. To humbug his hum ble neighbors wns not diilioiilt lior dan gerous, but to docoivo nnd undeceive nnd disappoint his landlord was quilo another matter. He put ou humility, nnd said this was a mutter beyond him entirely. Then tho Squire was angry, nnd said bitterly, "No doubt ho would rather oblige his neighbors, or n shopkeeper who ws» n strnngor to him, than tho man whoso land hnd fed him and his for fifty years." Ho was proceeding iu the snmo strain when poor Pnt, with thnt dismal whine file merry soul wns subject to occasion ally, implored him not fo murder hint entirely with hard words; ho would do his best. No mnn oan do more,” said Mr. Ormsby. “Now, how will you procuod ? Can wc' render you any assistance ?" Patrick snid, humbly, and in ndown- enst way, ho would like to see 4ho place where tho thieves got in. Ho was taken to tho pnntry window, and examined it inside and out, and nil tlio servants peeped at him, "What next V' asked the Sutliro, Then Pntriok inwardly resolved to get n good dinner out of this business, how ever lmmilnting the end might be. "Sorr," said ho, “ye’ll havo to give me a room all tomyHelf, and a rump-steak nnd onions; and after that your servants must bring mo.three pipes nnd three pints of home-brewed ale. Browers' ale hasn't the snmo spiritual effect on a seer’s mind." When the first pipe and pint were to go to him adisciissiou took place between the magnates of tho kitchen who should tako it uii. At last the butler and tlio housekeeper insisted on tho footman tak ing it. Accordingly ho did so. Meantime Putrick sat in state digesting tho good food. Ho began to feel a physi cal complacency, and to defy the future; ho only regretted that ho hod confined liis demand to one dinner and three jiots. To him in this frame of mind entered the footman with pipe nnd pint of alo as clear ns Mnderia. Hays Patrick, looking at the pipe, “That's tho first of ’em.'' Tlio footman put tho things down (other hurriedly and vanished. "niimpli,” said Pat to himself, "yon don't seem to core for my company.” Ho sipped and smoked, and his mind worked. The footman wont to tho butler with a scared face, and said, “I won’t go neai him again; he said I was one.” "Nonseuso I” said tho butler : 111 take up the next." Ho did so. Patrick gazed in his face, took the pipe, nnd said, sotto voce. "Titis is the secondthen, very^ re gretfully, "Only one more to come.” The butler went away much discom posed, and told tho housekeeper. "I can't believe it,” said she. "Any way, I’ll know tho worst." So in duo course she took up the third pipe and pint, and wore propitiatory smiles, “This is tiie last of ’em,” said Patrick, solemnly, nml looked at the glass. Tho housekeeper went down all in a flutter. " We are found out, wo are ruined,” snid she. "Thoro is nothing to be done now but— Yes there is ; wo must buy him, or put tho comother on him beforo lie sees tho master.” Putrick was half dozing over his lost ippo when lie heard a rustle and a com motion, nnd lo ! three, culprits on their knees to him. With that instinctive sa gacity which was his one real gift—so ho underrated it -he said, with a twinkling eye; “Och, thin, you've come to make a ciano bruit of it, the three Chrischin var- tues and haythen graces that ye ore. Ye may save yourselves tho trouble. Sure 1 know all about it,” "We see you do. Y’are wiser than by was ushered in, all expectation. “Yor honor,” said Patrick, " I think tho power is laving me. I nm only able to sou tho hnlf of it. Now, if you plnzo, would you liko to catch tlio thieves mid lose the Bilvcr, or to flud tlio silvor and not find the thieves?" "Why, the silver, to ho sure.” "Then you and my Indy must go to mass to-morrow morning, and when you como hack wo will look for tho silver, and maytsi, if we find it, your honor will givn mo thnt littlo hit of a lenso I've boon wanting so long.” "One thing nt a timo, Pnt; you haven't futttid (lie silver yet.” At nine o'clock next morning Mr. nnd Mrs. Ormsliy returned from mass, and found O'Rafferty waiting for them at their door. He had a long walking-stick with a shining kNnli, nnd informed them very solemnly, that tho priest hod sprin kled it for him with holy witter, Titus armed, ho commenced the search lie pcnoraled into out-houseH, and ap plied his stick to chimncyH nnd fngots and cold ovous, and nil possible places. No luck. Then ho prooccdod to the a table-yard sttd searched overy corner; then intc tiie shrtibbory; then into tiie tool-house. No luek. Then on to the lawn. By this timo thoro where abont thirty at his heels. Disgusted nt this fruitless search, Pnt riek apostrophized his stick; "Bad cess to you, y’aro only good lo burn. Yo knpo turning away from overy place; but ye don't turn to any anything whatever. Stop a bit I Oh holy Moses I whnt is this ?” As he spoke, the stick Boemod to rise and point like a gun. Patrick marched the direction indicated, nnd after a while seemed to lio forced by tho stick into a run. Ho began to shout excited ly, nnd they all rnu after him. He ran full tilt ngnuist a dismounted wntor liar rcl, and the end of tlio stick struck it witli swell impetus thnt it knocked tlio barrel over, then flow out of Patrick’s Imnd to tho right, who himsolf made a spring tho other way, and stood glaring with all tho rest at the glittering ohjocls that strewed tiie lawn, neither more nor less than the missing plate. Hliouts and screams of delight. Every body shaking hands with Patrick, who, I icing a consummate actor, seemed daz zled and mystified, ns one who had suc ceeded far bovond his expectations. To make n long story short, they nil si tiled in their minds that the thieves lind been alarmed, and hidden the plate for a timo, intending to roturn and fetch it nwny. Mr, Ormsliy took tho seer into his study, nnd gave him n piece of paper stating thnt for a great service rendered to him by Mr. Patrick O'Rafferty he hnd, iu the namo of him and his, prom ised him undisturlicd jiossession of tho farm so long as ho or his should farm it themselves, and pay tho present rent, Pat's modesty vanished nt the Squire’i gittc; he bragged up and down the vil lage, and henceforth nobody disputed liis seorsliip in those ports. A neighbor’s estate, morigtised up to the eves, was sold under tho hammer, nnd Sir Henry Steele bought it, and laid some of it down in grass. He was breeder of stock. He marked ont park wall, and did not includo a oertain littlo orchard and a triangular plot. Patrick O’ Rafferty observed, and np- plied for them. Sir Henry, who did liis own business, received tho appli cation, noted it down, and asked him for a good reference. Ho gave Squire Ormsby. “I will make inquiries,” said Sir Henry. "Good morning.” Ho knew Ormsby in London, and when he became liis neighbor the Irish gentleman wns all hospitality. One day Sir Henry told him of O’Rafferty’s ap plication, and asked abont him. “Oh,” said Ormsby, "that is onr seer. ” "Your what?” “Our wise man, onr diviner of se crets; and some wonderful thiDgs he has done.” He then related the loss of his plate, and its supernatural recovery. Then Sir Henry said that he would put tlioao pretensions to the test. At his request Patrick was informed thnt next Thursday, at ono o’clook, if ho chose to snhinit to a fair test ol his divining powers, the parcel of land ho had naked for Bkouhl bo let him on easy terms. Patrick assented jnnntily. Bat in his secret soul ho felt uneasy. However, ho camo np to tho scrateh like a matt. After all, ho had nothing to lose this time, nnd he vowed to sub mit to no test that was not preceded by a good dinner. Ho wsa inhered into Sir Henry Steele’s study, and there ho found thnt gentleman and Mr. Ormsby. Ono comfort, there was a cloth laid, and certain silvor dishos on tho hobs and in tho fender. "Well, Mr. O'Rnffurty,” said bin hast, •I behove you liko a good dinner?” "Thrno for you, sorr," said Pat. "Well, thou, wu can combino businesn with pleasure; you shall have a good dinner." Long lifo to yonr honor 1” 'I eiHiked it for you myself." 'God bless your honor for yonr eon- dcsoinsion.” “You are to eat tho dinner first, and then just tell me whnt the meat is, and tho parcel of land is yours on oasy terms. ” Palriek's confidence rose. “Sure, thin, it is a fair bargain," said he. Tho dishos wore uncovered. Thorn were vegetables pin iked most deliciously; llm meat wns n ehof-d'ienvro; a sort of rich ragout dune to n turn, and so fra grant that tho very odor mado the month water. Patrick seated himself, and helped himself, nnd took a mouthful; that mouthful had a double effect. He real ized in ono nnd the snmo moment that this was a more heavenly compound than lie had ever cx|>cotod to taste niton earth, and that ha could not nnd never should livitio whnt bird or lionst ho was eating. Ho looked for tlio iMines; there were nnno. Ho yielded himself to desperate enjoyment. When ho had nearly cleaned die pinto 1m said that oven the twst- inoked moat was none the worue for • pinrt of good nlu to wash it down. Hir nonry Hteelo rang a boll and or- lercd n quart of nle. Pntriok enjoyed this too, nnd did not irry; he felt jt was his last dinner iu llint house, ns well ns liis first. Tlio gontlemnn watched him and gave dm time. But nt last Ormsliy said, 'Well, Patrick— Now Patrick, whilst ho sipped, had icon asking himself wlint line he had bettor take; and ho had oome to a con clusion creditable to that sagacity and luiowledgo of human nature he really possessed and underrated accordingly, lie would compliment the gentlemen on their superior wisdom, nnd own he oonld not throw dust in such eyes as theirs; then ho would I Nig them not to mnke his humble ncighliorH ns wise as they were; but let him still pass for a wiso man in die parish, whilst they laughed in their su|N)rior sleeves. To onrry ont this he impregnated his brazen features with • world of comic humility. “And,” said lie, in cajoling accents, “all, your honors, the old fox mado tunny n turn, lint tlio dogs were too many for him ntlust.” What more of self-depreciation and ca jolery lie would lmvcndded is not known, for Hir Henry Hteelo broke in loudly, “Good heavens I Well, he is an extra ordinary man. It was an old dog-fox I cooked for him." “Didn’t I toll you?” cried Ormsby, doligbted at tho success of his country- man. “Well, sir,” snid Hir Honry, whoso emotions seldom lasted long, “a bargain's a hnrgnin. I let you tho orchard and field for—let mo see—you must bring mo n stoat, n weaaol, nnd a polecat every year. I mean to get np tho game.” Mr. O’Bnfforty first stared stupidly, thon winked cnnningly, then blandly abaorbod laudation and land; then retired invoking solemn blessings; then, lieing outside,- cxocntod a fan- linugo, nnd went borne on wings; from Hint hour the village oonld not hold him. His speech wns of aoenmnlating farms on peppercorn rents, till s slice of a! I ho country should lie liis. To hear him, ho could see through a deal board, nnd luck wns his monopoly. He began to ho envied, and was on tho way to bo hated, when, confiding in his star, he married NoraU Blnke^ a beautiful girl, hnt a most notorious vixen. Then the unlucky ones forgave him a great deal; for sure wouldn't Norah re venge them? Alasl the traitress fell in love with her husband after marriage, nnd let him mold her into a sort of uugvlic duck. This was the climax.
