Aloft and alow Elf sailors are singing,'' Yo, heave ho! The breeze that is blowing So sturdily Btrong Shall fill up thy sail AV’ith the breath of a song. A fay at the mast-head Keeps watch o’er the sea; Blown amber of tresses Thy banner shall be; Thy freight the lost laughter That sad souls have missed, Thy cargo the kisses That never were kissed, And ho, for a fay maid Born merry in June, Of lusty red roses Beneath a red moon. The star pearls that midnight Casts down on the sea, Dark gold of the sunset Her fortune shall be. And ever she whispers, More teunderly sweet, “Love am I, love only, Love perfect, complete. The world is my lordship, The heart is my slave; I mock at the ages, 1 laugh at the grave. Wilt sail with me ever, A dream-haunted sea, Whose whispering waters Shall murmur to thee The love-haunted fyries Dead poets have made Ere life had a fetter.

D., in Harper. “FORSAKEN.” Dick Dormers and Ivan Bruce Journeyed by the mail car that ran from AYestport to Achill on a fine September Englishman day in 1889. Dormers was an who had inherited a Scotch property and wore a Tam o’ Shanter cap out of compliment to it. He was 30 years of age, and was “doing” tho AYest of Ireland for the second time lhat year, having been over in the spring and hunted an April fox on the confines of Clare. Bruce was a born Caledonian, and as such wore an English touring suit. ’He lmd spent all the latter years of his life abroad. Dormers had come to Achill to fish off tho Head, to make the ascent of Croughan, and to see a winsome face which he had viewed (and interviewed) during his first Visit in the spring. “I shall come again,” he had promised tho trustful owper of it, and although he was quite a commonplace young English¬ man, so far as ordinary sins went, he never really broke his word to a woman. The Scotchman had but one actual object in going—namely, to redress, if possible, a wrong ho had been guilty of in his uiircgeneratc days; but he did not care to mention it, lest the time for redressing might be over. She pretended curiosity to revisit the • country in which some of his early years had been passed, and also a de¬ sire to pick up “ail Irish horse or two,” and perhaps a couple of ponies. AYhen they got to Dugort and had dined, the two went out for a stroll, and discussed their plans for the next day. shnjl “I turn out early,” said Dor¬ mers, “and do somc fishing if the day . is good enough; and if it isn’t, why we can do Croughan, or tho AVatch Tower, or whatever else you like.” “Thank you,” said Bruce, “but I believe I shall push on to Keem.” Mr. Richard Djrmers was not often known to blush, but bis face certainly reddened a little as he turned round quickly and scanned that of his friend. “To Keem!” he repeated. “AVJiy, how very odd! I must go there my¬ self. Do you know the place at al! ?’’ “Yes, or at least I did years ago. I have no doubt tliero arc plenty of changes now.” Both men had evidently something to hide. However, although they looked rather curiously at one another, they smoked a peaceful pipe together, listened to the song of the grasshopper warbler as it reeled out its continuous little “whirr, whirr,” like the spin ning of a fishing reql—and then .w’ent back to their hotel to have wh&$|tay called “an early turn in.” Next morning betimes they set out for Keem. Situated on tiio southern slope of the mighty Croughan and in the midst of the most beautiful emer- SPRING PLACE. GA.. THURSDAY, MARCH <>, 1891. »ltl green pastures they found the pic tnresque village looking its loveliest the warm stuishino lighting up the perfectly golden strand beneath it, and a refreshing breeze stealing in from the wide sea, and stirring the dahlias and gladioli in the well-cared litllo {gardens. Before they came within sight of habitations, however, they had to pass through a piece of unfre¬ quented land, with the ruins of a cot¬ tage upon it, the old roof of which was covered with shaking grasses and loose stones. Close to it was a wall, with an ivv-twined cross on the mar¬ gin, and from this a perfectly clear Btream went babbling away to join a score of others in the meadows. Dormers was foremost when they came up to the spot, and Bruce saw him start and heard him utter an ex¬ clamation as he turned quite round and drew his comrade quickly into shadow. “Hush!” lie whispered, “don’t speak, or she'11 bo frightened; but jook, and tell me presently what you think.” Bruce, rearing up his tall, straight figure, peeped silently over the slant¬ ing corner of the ruined cottage roof, and saw a dark haired, dark eyed splendidly handsome girl setting down a pitcher, which wRli was much too heavy for her, and the effort flushing hor cheeks with becomming crimson. Having placed her pitcher by the cottage wall she Was about to resume hor burden and go her way, when her eye caught Bruce’s helmet, and blush¬ ing aud confused, she glanced at him inquiringly. Tho young man hesitated whether to retire or go forward; but the latter impulse prevailed, and in¬ voluntarily lifting his head covering he asked her about the welfare of a Mrs. Jolliffe, who had years ago lived at Ivcem. “She is dead,sir,” the girl answered simply; “but herhusbaud is alive,and I live with him.” “Over in that direction?” Bruce asked, pointing away to the right. “Yes, sir; just there. He’s now old and weak, and 1 come lo the brook every morning for waier, and save lym carrying it up.” She did not wait for further con¬ verse, but declining the aid he of¬ fered her, poised her pitcher grace¬ fully upon her strong young shoulder and walked away by the back of the ruined hut. Dormers started forward as she did so, but was restraiueid by his friend. . “AVell, I call (his cool,” the young Englishman said, vexedly. “You monopolize all the talk. By Jove, I’ll go after her and let her know that I have kept my promise.” Bruce, instead of answering,Tjuietly linked the speaker’s arm within his own. “You shall see her presently,” he said; “but meanwhile I have some¬ thing serious enough to talk to you about. Seventeen years ago my mother (a widow) died, leaving me to take charge of a little two-year-old girl—a sister’s child, whom she had adopted. I was a*lad, without much ballast or money. An advertisement about a fishery tempted me to this part of Ireland, and being charmed with Achill (though the fishery turned out a myth), I stopped on here witli the.Jittlo one at the house of a farmer named Jolliffe, his good wife being particularly taken with the child AVell, one day I fell in witli some men who were making up a party to tempt, fortune in California. It didn’t take much to persuade me to join them. I gave the Jollifies what cash I could spare to care for my little cousin, and away I started, promising to be back” in five years. “The fellows I went with were hon¬ est enough, but we met witli no good luck for a long while, and when the" five years were up I had scarcely enough money to keep body and soul together where I was, and not a cent had I to send home. I’m ashamed to tell you that things went on so for another five years~for I was a bad manager, an idler when I ouehtto have forked—and by that time the., world • had so hardened my heart that I almost forgot the Jollifies and my obligations to them, and if I thought at all of the child I had left behind, it was only to tliink and hope that she might bo dead. At length, as I have told you, I turned up gold. In time I grew pretty rich, came home to the old country, met you shortly after, and determined to break old ground ag ‘n a and if pos ’S ble do justice to tlies o Bt ood people o Keom. “Jolliffe is not a common name in this place. The man, I have learned, is alive, bis wife is dead, and the girl whom wc saw here at the well is Winfred Morton, my dead mother's niece. I have been everything that was wrong, 1 know, but 1 may yet re¬ pair matters; and as you have been good enough to restrain yourself from interrupting me or knocking me down will you please go straight to Mr. Jolliffe’s cottage and tell him and Winfred that when Ivan Bruce shall have pulled himself together a bit (for I am really upset, old chap), he will come right up and ask their pardon, ami that they will let him shake them once move by the hand.” Two hours after a merry, laughing trio—two men and a girl—were climb¬ ing up the great shelving shoulder of Slievc Croughan, by’ the smootli moor¬ land ascent; AViufrod, or “AVisha,” as they found she was called, ueatly aud prettily dressed, and quite as delight¬ ed with her new cousin as she was coy and timid with his friend. They climbed on further, to the very edges of tho grand sea cliffs, and peeped down them into the green valleys far beneath,where the wild goats browsed, and tho sea birds darted through the foam below, and AA’isha pointed out to them on tho right the crags of Broad liaven, and tho islands or Innishglor, Innishkea and Devilaun, and on the left those of Turk, Bofiin and Clare, with Clew Bay stretching right up to AYestport, and the grand Croagh Patrick Mountain forming its magni¬ ficent boundary on tho south. As they journeyed home to dinner Bruce talked a little about the future and of certain things he intended to do, and the restricted historian is bound to say that while the happy Scotchman paused to speak a word or two to a lad about a pony, the still happier Englishman found an oppor¬ tunity to utter a word in another quar¬ ter on a very different topic—and when old Jolliffe chaffed AVisha on the subject of her complexion, ovor the homely little board, not one present believed a syllable of her cleverly con¬ cocted story about “a cow having frightened her” on the shelving cliffs of Croughan. — [London Dramatic Nows. Tho Largest Stationary Engine. At the Friendsvillo (Penn.) zino mines there is in operation the largest stationary engine in the world. During the past few months it has pumped dry by underground drainage nearly every ore pit, spring and small stream within a radius of five miles. The engine is known as the “Presi¬ dent,” is ofl6000 horse-power, aud is run by sixteen boilers. At each rev¬ olution of its ponderous wheels a small stream is tlifown out, the number of gallons raised every minute being 17,500. The driving wheels are 35 feet in diameter, and weigli 40 tons each. The sweep rod is 40 feet long. The cylinder is 110 inches in diame¬ ter, while the piston-rod is 18 inches in diameter and makes a 10-foot stroke. The engine lias a ballast box capable of holding 60 tons, and to feed the boilers 28 tons of coal are required daily. Oil the engine is the largest nut in the world. It is hexagonal in shape and weighs 1000 pounds. To tighten or loosen this nut twenty men are required, while the wrench that fits it is 20 feet long. From the end of the walking-beam of the engine to the bottom of the shaft the distance is 300 feet The masonry on which the engine rests is 108 feet deep, some of the foundation stones weighing five tons. ’ Feels Better. “Are you happier since your second marriage?” he asked of his friend as they rode down town on a Broadway car. “Oh, much happier.” “Then it was a case of love?” “"Exactly, the. same as with my first, ihere is this difference—I feel “In your mind?” “Yes, and all other ways.

JERSEY CATTLE. Interesting Talk About Beauti¬ ful Butter-Makers. They are the Greatest Milk Pro¬ ducers In the World. Jersey, the largest and most bcauti iful of the English Channel group of islands, has perhaps contributed more to the pleasures resulting from a good table than any place of its size in the world. Not only are its strawberries the sweetest and most luscious, its cherries the brightest and reddest, its apples the choicest, its pears—the noted Bergamont—the most sought after; but it produces milk and butter that were at one time unequalled iu the world. Tho latter, of course, re¬ sulted from the fact that the island was the natural home and birthplace of the far-famed Jorsoy breed of cows. Today the breed is the fashionable and most profitable stock for family and dairy purposes-, and is rapidly spread¬ ing from East to West over tho. United States. “They are tho graudest cattle in tho world,” said Mr. Hiram P. Hopkins to a Buffalo (N. Y.) News reporter. Mr. Hopkins is a farmer, and at one time a breeder of the stock, and is now regarded as one of the greatest authorities on Jersey cattle in Ameri¬ ca. Ho is tho sought after judge for nearly all the dairy and agricultural fairs held in this country. “I say ‘grand,’ advisedly, not only because of tho beautiful symmetry of the animal and its purity of breed, but because it is absolutely the greatest milk producer in the world. Butter purci aud generally better can be made from the milk of a Jersey cow than from any other kind.” “And the reason?” “Simply this, that for 300 years it Has been bred for that purpose and for nothing else. It is possible to put butter of a higher grade on the market from a dairy using only Jersey inilk than from any other kind. Their pro¬ ducing of milk is enormous.” “How much butler can bo made from a Jersey cow iu a year?” “As high as 938 pounds has been made in a course of 12 months from the milk given by one animal. As much as three pounds of butter has been made from three quarts of such milk, while it takes from 10 to 12 quarts from other breeds, and some¬ times as high as 20 quarts is required to produce a like amount.” “Is the stock fairly well distributed over America now?” “Yes, right through this State and aut West. There are probably 80, 000 to 40,000 of the breed in this coun try and they are of the best kind, Generally speaking, I should say that wc have as good a selection in America as anywhere in the world. They have been imported and bred witli the idea of improvement.” “IIow about the present value of Jer8 ,?y 8 '” “They are worth M a| , least , , double , , the , price of ordinary milkiug cattle. The price is not likely to go down either. There is a good deal of 'crossing* go ing on now ‘between the Jersey and the Ayrshire. They make the best cross as you get quantity from the Ayrshire and the quality from the Channel Island importation.” “How many families of Jerseys have you in this country?” “Quito a number, but all good. There is the Rioter-Stoke, Pogis, Al phus, Comanche, Albert Panseys, St. Hieliers, \ictors and others. are all fashionable, so to speak, for I have said they are without doubt greatest milk producers in the in fact, nothing but big milk mg mac lines. “One thing I might mention is the Jersey cow is perhaps more fluenced by the quality of food to it than any other breed. That he food it eats affects both the tity and quality of the milk give., consequently the butter This wili largely explain how it i that the Islanc, of Jersey produce such good cattle. Tin grass there unquestionably the richest and in the world. I was there with a ty some time ago and was struck by that fact. Then again ,climate has much to do with growth of the grand animals they there. Tho thernometer is seldom low 50 or above 80 degrees.” _ Vol. XI. New Series. NO. 5 “What opinion did you form of the cattle you saw there?’’ “I found them firm in bone and horn aud fine in hair—better in these respects than what we have on this side, but as I have said, that is due to the climate. The animals there are also very tenderly cared for. They are tethered in a field by a chain, or ropo sometimes, seven feet long, and are at¬ tended to entirely by women. It was somewhat laughable to see the way the women milked the cows. They went down on their knees to perform the operation and milked into old fashioned jugs. Of course we have to do our work quicker here and have men to do 1 it. .. m. The food , for - tnc ,. cows 111 . Jersey is superb iu quality and grows quickly. I was there at the end of July and saw a second crop of clover knee deep.” “Are you of opinion that, taking everything into consideration, climate, quality of grass, etc., America lias made much progress in tho raising of Jersey cattle?” “Unquestionably. The Jersey breed was, I think, first imported into this country in 1850, by William Norton of Connecticut. Dr. Hubbel! of Phila¬ delphia was an early importer. The Sparkos Brothers of the same city have also done much to improve and multi¬ ply the breed in this country. Now we have big stock farms not only in the localities I have mentioned, but in AYest Randolph, Yt., where Monitor Bros, have 500 head; in Rahway, N.J., T. A. Havemcyer has over 300 milch cows and young slock, and Campbell Brown of Spriug Ilill Stock Farm lias at least 200 flue specimens of tho Jer¬ sey.’’ “AVhat points do you observe in judging a good animal?” “A general idea may.be gained from the following: The head should be wide between the eyes and narrow be¬ tween the horns, with placid eye. Tho face should be slightly ‘dishing’ and rather long; neck long and narrow at shoulders; back long and straight— setting to tiio tail; wido across tho loins, ribs well sprung; deep body; skin yellow and mellow, hair soft and silky; legs short, tail reaching below hocks, milk veins running well for¬ ward and kuotty; bag well forward and behind; teats squarely placed and good size, witli an escutcheon of the danders or sclvoge order. Jersey cows may bo of any color, but always have black noses. The idea that tho perfect animal must always have a black tongue is absurtl.” The American Olive. The growth of the olive is to be, it seems to me, one of the leading and most permanent industries of Southern California. It will give ns, what it is nearly impossible to buy now, pure olive oil, in place of the cotton-seed and lard mixture in general use. It is a most wholesome and palatable arti* c i e of food.

An unusual artiole from the Rochester, W. Y., Democrat and Chronicle, was ro Eabjwt oently republished in this paper and was a of much comment. That the ar¬ ticle caused even more commotion in Roch¬ ester, the following from the same paper shows: Dr. J. B. Henion, who is well known only in Rochester but in n urly every p of America, sent an extended nrfciolo to t paper a few flays since, which was duly pu llslied, detailing his remarkable experience .) and rescue from what scorned to be a certain death. It would be impossible to enumerate the personal enquiries which have been made at our office as to the validity of the article, but they have boea so numerous that fur¬ ther investigation of the subject was deemed necessary. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Ur. Henion, a: his resi deuce, when tho following interview oc cur red: ‘that article of yours. Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the state moots about thatorrible condition you were in and the way you were rescued such as y' J can sustain?’ “Everyone I of them and many ad * ones. the first and was brought so low by n< .lion. most simplo s.vmnton not think I was sick.

We should ' not waste our time trying body to relieve the headaches, pains about the or other symptoms, but go directly ailment*." to the kidneys, the source of most of these said “This, that then, is what you meaut when you more than one-half the deaths which occur ari33 from Bright's disease, is it. Doctor?" turing “Precisely. Thousands which of diseases are tor¬ Bright’s people disease to-day, in its in reality ure some of many forms. It is a Hydra-headed monster, and the slight¬ est symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look back and re¬ call hundreds of deaths which physiciaus de¬ clared at the time were caused by paralysis apoplexy, heart disea se, pneumonia, malarial fever and other common complaints which 1 see now were caused by Bright’s disease.” “And"did all these eases have simple symp¬ toms at first?” “Every one of them, and might have been cured as I was by the timely use of tho same remedy. in I this am matter getting and my think eyes I thoroughly help¬ ing opened others tho facts end their am possible to see danger Mr. Warner, also." who visited his was at e.,ta!> mentonN.

Recently, however, the increase has beenohccked, and I attribute this to the general use of my remedy." “Do you think ninny people are afflicted with it to-day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?’ in New Orleans “A pvominent professor lecturing a before Uls eli»s modical college was disease. Ho had on tho subject of under Bright's microscopic analysis, various fluids and was showing the students what the in¬ dications of this terrible malady were. 'And now, gentlemen,’ he said, *as wo show have seen the unhealthy indications, 1 will you how it appears in a state of perfect health,’ and he submitted his own fluid to the usual test. As ho watched the results his counte ance suddenly changed—his color aud com¬ mand both ieft him. ani in a trembling voice he said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a painful discovery; I have Bright's disease of the kidneys;’ and in lees than a year he was dead.

I know it from my own and the experience of thousands of promi¬ nent person* who were given up to die by both their physicians and friends.” “You speak of your own experience, what WAS it?” “A fearful one. I had felt languid aud unfitted for business for years. But I did not know what ailed me. When, however, I found it was kidney difficulty I thought there was little hope and so did tbe.doctors. I have since learned that one of the physicians of this city pointed me out to a gentleman on the street one day, saying: ‘there goes a man who will be dead within a yoar.’ I believe his words would have proved true if I had not fortunately used the remedy now known as Wnrners Safe Cure.” “Did you make a chemical analysis of the case of Mr. H. H. Warner some three years ago, Doctor? was risked Dr. 8. A. Lattimore, one of the analysts of the State Board of Health." “What “Yes, sir.” did this analysis show you?". “A serious disease of the kidneys.” “Did you think Mr. Warner could re¬ cover?’ “No, sir, I did not think it possible.” “Do you know anything about the remedy which cured him?’ “I have chemically analysed it and find it pure and harmless." The standing of Dr. Henion, Mr. Warner and Dr. Lattimore in the community U be¬ yond question, and the statements be they mats cannot for a moment doubted. Dr. Henion’s experience shows that the Bright’s dis¬ de¬ ease of the kidneys is one of most ceptive and dangerous of all diseases, that it is exceedingly common, but that it can be cured U taken in time.
