readers’ attention to the important fact
ttint certain truck-growers and liorticul-
Dui-:-iu O tio find their best market not
In large cities or large towns but in near
by small villages, and indeed among far
mer' almost at their doors. Several sim
ilar institutes have come under our per
sonal notice and doubtless under that of
most observers. One of them, specially
illustrating ib ; idea In mind, is reported
by itn* American Orange Bulletin, being
tile experience of a “gentleman who was
very poor.”
“Hi- place ot residence was In a small
town ol about I.BUO people. Adjoining
were many rich farms, and land was
plenty; the rent being about live.dollars
per acre. His first move was to lookup
a reliable nursery from which to pur
rli.i ; e l fie wee-ury plants. This done,
an 1 all arrangements made for a supply
ol the last varieties of strawberries,
ra spberrieH, blackberries ami grapes, the
next step was toward securing the land.
Being short of funds, the rule was to
Mart at lirt on a small scale, so three
acres of good land was leased for a term
of six years, aud the rent lor the first
year, fifteen dollars, paid in advance.
“I hen hi* portioned oil" the following
number of plants to set out the three
acre . One at re was to go in strawber
ries, one in blackberries, one-half acre in
biaek ra- pberries, one-fourth in red rasp
berries, and the rest, one-fourth ot an
a. re, to grapevines. Our friend had no
horses, so be hired the ground broken in
the fall. When spring arrived the land
\\ a-ploughed again, well harrowed and
marked out. for the plants. These were
very carefully planted at ;be proper dis
tances, and then came the work of till
age.
“An occasional day’s hire for a man
and horse did the heaviest of the work,
while his own arms and a good, bright
hoe tended the remainder. Between the
rows of all the plants, excepting the
strawberries, garden truck was put in
and tended along with the small fruits.
When fall came the plants were found
to have made a very fine and healthy
growth, and there was a splendid crop of
vegetables also. Part had been already
harvested and disposed of at a good
vantage, while the remainder was ready
for a like disposal. Enough had been
realized in this way to pay another year’s
rent in advance, buy a few berry-boxes
and have a little left.
“In the village there was an enterpris
ing grocer who had been a keen observer
oi our friend’s fruit garden, and he made
advances toward securing the crop fur
sale. He would sell the fruit at a com
mission oi ir> per cent on each dollar’s
worth, if the grower wanted cash, or
would pay full value—dollar for dollar
il goods were taken in payment for ber
ries. There would he only the straw
pen its to put in market the second sea
son, lint our triend had planned so well
a-to varieties, aud given them such at
tention, that the acre patch would vield
a handsome crop.
“A horse and light spring wagon were
purchased on time. iwi then, the second
year’s tTlfiTgC Was easily done; besides a
conveyance was prepared for the trans
portation of the berries. Three young
girls were engaged to do the berry [lick
ing, which with his own help was suffi
cient. Before time came for harvesting
ihc crop, there were many weeks allowed
lor cultivation, which was done most by
horse, js’o culture being needed for the
st raw berries, the two remaining acres of
other fruits could easily he handled and
kept in good shape. To he sure there
were many other matters to attend to,
such as cutting hack the raspberry canes,
making berry-boxes, culture being the
greatest essential.
“In the latter part of May the straw
berries began to ripen, and soon the
berry picking came on in earnest. All
this time the other plants were making
a fine growth and were not neglected.
Ttie acte of strawberries turned out
splendidly, the total uumhci of quarts
being I.sort and over. The first brought i
*2ocents a quart, then fell to l.*>, then to
'd finally to 10 cents a box. All!
this was very satisfactory, and the next,
year 'a not lit r strawberry crop and a full
crop Iron, the other plants. Xow, this i
the way mu* mm started, and he grad
ually iiuit i'.*d his fields until now he
has twenty acres in small fruits alone, i
Anv other man can do just as well and
perhaps better. Think over tiie matter,
my, triend, and see if you cannot by this j
means better your condition.”
Ihe lev-on of the foregoing is as ob
vious as if is applicable in the thickly
■'’tiled sections of the country, which are
brought, more and more into competition i
with theyheaper lands of the wide and
let-tile Hesf, It may he worth while in
planning for another year to consider
whether there is not a good opportunity
tor improving one’s resources, and pro
moting health and hanpine-ss ot rural
neighbors, by raising small fruits ami the
finer vegetables, like cauliflower, celery, i

THE WANDERER'S LAMENT.
S BY X ARIE T. GH.I.AM.
I've walked all flay; .
Now sit beside this tree to rest.
Shall I go, or stay
Till the sun is tow in the west*
• If here at night.
Not even the moon will lend a ray
To guide my sight
To dangers till the dawn of day.
Whennigbt is spent,
AVill morning light dispel my gloom
Ami bring content?
Or, picture out my future doom
Of banishment
From all my loved ones, friends and home.
Why thus consent
t o leave them all, o'er earth to roam?
Ah, woe is me!
A stranger, in a stranger's land
They let me lx?,
Nor offer a pittance to my hand.
At yonderdoor
I called and humbly asked for bread
And nothing more—
‘•l’m a widow, without food," she said.
Then why pursue
This lonely walk from day to day,
With no object in view?
Nothing to cheer me on the way;
The rich aud poor
Nor know, nor care to hear iny word,
But close their door,
And hence my story is unheard.
Why don’t they hear
The saddest story of my life?
A single bier
Carried at once my child and wife.
They laid them low.
Oh, yes; in mind T seif the spot:
’Tis way below
My lonely and deserted cot.
O, God ot love
Hear; my petitiou, hear my cry,
Pity and comfort, or I die.
.Make me to feel
That whate’er Thy chastening rod.
Thou wilt reveal
Thyself, toy everlasting God.
Daylight is gone;
Evening shadows hover ’round
At early dawn
My heart shall then with joy abound.
Even now I feel
My burdens iight fewer my care®,
And humbly kneel
To offer up my feeble prayers.
My bed is hard,
My head is pillowed on a stone—
Both [joint toward
x ne star that on Bethlehem shone.
M >.y t receive
The o /ershadowing of His wings,
And ever believe
Him Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
O, mother dear!
To-morrow morn I’ll on my way,
And will be near
To tell thee that 1 repent the day
That I left thee.
Heap thy blessings on my head,
Accept my plea
Xow I’ve given up the dead.

‘ 1 guess Fil back out of it somehow,”
muttered Arthur Swain, drawing his new
sled Uito the stable and stow ing it away
under the stairs.
“Back out of what ?” asked his broth
er, entering in time to hear Arthur’s low
words.
“Zakie Cole oilers for my old sled ten
cents cents more than Oscar Blake, and I
think 1 shaft let it go to the highest bid
der,” exclaimed Arthur, in quite a busi
ness-like tone.
“ But didn’t you agree to let Oscar have
it?” asked Dennis, quite surprised at his
j brotliei’s sharpness.
| “Yes; I told him I thought twenty
| five cents all the sled was worth,” replied
! Arthur, somewhat disconcerted, “but I
suppose now it is worth more, if Zakie
will'give more.”
“But you know Oscar expects to have
it lor twenty-live cents,” returned Den
nis. “You set your own price when he
asked what he should give you for it. 1
wouldn't sell another boy’s sied,” he
added somewhat scornfully.’
“I’ll sell my sled to the one who will
give the most for it,” exclaimed Arthur
angrily. “Thirty-live cents is cheap i
enough.”
“Cheap enough!” echoed a voice from i
the gloomy depths of a room beyond.
“Who is in there” and Arthur bolted
through the open door to ascertain from j
whom the voice came.
“Oh, l ncle Dins, then you think mv :
sled cheap enough at thirty-live cents ?” j
asked the hoy, drawing the individual
found into the open air.
“1 was not thinkingof your sled at all,” i
was the quiet reply. “I‘was thinking of i
something else that was cheap enough.” I
hit else, uncle? What Is cheap,
enough ?”
“A boy’s honor, Arthur. Don’t you !
think ten cents cheap enough for that?”
asked Uncle Dana, looking kindly at the ;
lad. * !
Arthur colored but said nothing.
“Tell me truly, Arthiu”—and uncle
i took the boy’s red face between his hands
! —“had no offer been made to you, would
| you not have expected Oscar’to take the
sled and pay twenty-five cents lor it?’’
“A es, uncle, I should,” was the un
hesitating reply.
“Honor b honor, my lad, w hether it
be in your hands or Oscar Blake’s, and it
demands the same usage from you that
Would be expected from another. When
ever you fail to do this, you sell your
honor cheap, whether y*.u get ten cents
or ten thousand dollars.”
Arthur put the old sled beside the new
one, and when Jakie Cole called, hoping
to overreach Oscar Blake, who was una
ble to buy anew sled, the boy found
Arthur firm in his resolution to abide by
his first bargain.
“I thought Fd keep Oscar Blake from
coasting on Carleton Hill,” exclaimed
Z.kie in a vexed tone, “but now I sup
pose w e must have him, patches and ail.”
“Oscar isn t to blame for his patched
clothes,” returned Arthur warmly:
“and 1 am sure the patches are always
neatly put on,” thinkingof the deliea’fe
hands w hich did this service of love foi
the poor boy.
“I don’t care. All the rest ot the boys
dress well, and we don’t want these rag- :
am tiffins in our midst. If you will
help him to a sled, you may him
with you somewhere ele to !

Artnur watched his retreating form j
through the dusky twilight, and thought j
that honor was sold sometimes even
cheaper than for dollars and cents.
NOT DEAD YET.
Atlanta papers are giving the public tome cur
ious ami wonderful cases that are quite interest
ing. It seems that a young lady of Atlanta had
been reported as dead, but it came to the ears of
the Atlanta Journal that she was still alive, and
being on the alert for news, a reporter was sent
to the residence to learn all the facts. Miss Belle
Dunaway, who had been pronounced dead, met
him at rhe door, stoutly denying that she wa*
dead. Site said:
“For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia
have resisted physicians and all other treatment
My muscles seemed to dry up, roy flesh shrank
away, my joints were swollen,painful and large,
lost my appetite, was reduced to 00 pounds in
weight and for months, was expected to die. i
con menced the use of B. B. B. and the action of
one half a bottle convinced my friends that
it would cure me. Its effects were like magic.
It gave me an appetite—gave me strength, re
lieved all pains and aches, added flesh to my
ikmes, and when five bottles had been used I had
gained 30 pounds of flesh, and I am to-day sound
and well.’’

Some one said that Potash was poison: Who
makes the assertion except those who desire to

produces all the horrors claimed for it by those

Two More Important Cases.
Your agent being in Columbus, Ga., a few d>vs
| ago and meeting the venerable brother J. H.
Campbell, we asked him for the news. His reply
j was, “I have two more important cures effected
; by Swift's Sneeilic to report.” This venerable
i man is known far and wide for his unremtting
: labors of love in the behalf of the poor of C’olum
■ bus. It will be remembered that the Swift Spe
cific Cos. has donated quite an amount of their
: famous medicine, to be distributed by Mr. Cainp
j bell among tiie poor of the city; hence hisrmark.
i He said:
j “l have just seen a lady who has been greatly
annoyed by a tetter in one of her hands. It had giv
en her rnneh trouble and pain. She said she had
been treated by several physieians during the past
three or four years with the old remedies, but
without giving any relief. I suggested Swifts Spe
cific and she took four bottles and is now appa
rently perfectly well. Her hand is smooth, and
not a single sign of the disease is left. It is j
marvelous how this medicine renovates the srs- ]
tern."
“What about the other case?”
“Well, that was a lady also. She had been
badly affected with eczema for four years. Her
face, hands and arms, as well as her body, were
covered with sores and scabs. It was one of the
worst cases of this terrible disease that I have
ever seen. The suffering of this poor creature
was beyond expression. She tried every remedy
at hand, including mercury and iodide of potash
but she only grew worse. She was in this condi
tion when 1 first saw the case. I soon had her
taking Swift’s Specific, and she has now oulv
only taken two bottles, but every mark of Ihe
disease has almost entirely 'disappeared. Her
general health has greatly improved. It is one
of the most remarkable cures that has come un
der my notice, and in a ministry of sixty tears
I have mingled with every class of society and
observed closely the variety of diseases which
affeetd humanity. Blood diseases are the moti
numerous and most difficult to remove. Toover
come these diseases, it is mv deliberate judge- .
ment that Swift’s Specific is the grandest blood
purifier ever discovered. Its effects are won
derful, and i consider them almost miraclous.
There is no medicine comparable to it.”
