THE WILD RIDE.
I hear in my heart, I hear in its ominous pulses.
All day, the commotion of sinewy, mane tos3ing
horses;
All night, • from their cells, the importunate
tramping and neigh.eg:
Cowards and laggards fall back: but alert to the
saddle,
Straight, grim, and abreast, vault the wither
worn, galloping legion.
With a stirrup cup each to the one gracious
woman that loves him.
The road is thro' dolor and dread, over crags and
morasses:
There are shapes by the way, there are things
that appall or entice us:
What odds? We are knights; and our souls are
but bent on the riding.
I hear in my heart, I hear in its ominous pulses.
All day, the commotion of sinewy, mane tossing
horses;
All night, from their cells, the importunate
tramping and neighing!
We spur to a laud of no name, out racing the
storm wind;
We leap to the infinite dark, like the sparks from
the anvil:
Thou leadest, O God! All's well with thy troopers
that follow.
—Louise Imogen Guiney in liie Century.
WHEN “OLE MARSTER” DIES.
■“Young ■ Slarster” in Possession of His
Inheritance.
Then some flay “ole marster” dies,
and the negroes, one by one, young and
old, file into the darkened parlor to taka
a last look at his quiet face. He had his
furious temper, “ole marster’’ had, and
his sins—which God forgive! Today lie
will be buried, and to-morrow “young
marster” win inherit his saddle horse
and ride out into the fields.
Thus lie has come into possession of
his negroes. Among them are a few
whose working days are over. These are
to be kindly cared for, decently buried.
Next are the active laborers, and, last,
the generation of children. He knows
them all by name, capacity, and disposi
tion; is bound to them by lifelong associ
ations; hears their communications and
complaints. When lie goes to town, ho
is charged with commissions, makes pur
chases with their own money. Contin
uing the course of his father, he sets
alxiut doing for them what is best under
the circumstances—making them capa
ble, contented workmen. ITiere shall be
special training for special aptitude. Ono
shall lie made a blacksmith, a second a
carpenter, a third a cobbler of shoes. In
all the general industries of the farm,
education shall not be lacking. It is
claimed that a Kentucky negro invented
<ii the hemp brake. As a result of this
jo Elective management, the southern
iiu planter, looking northward, will pay him
alh a handsome premium for the blue grass
j 1 ^ slave. He will have no white overseer,
dr He does not like the type of man. Be-
aj* sides, one is not needed. Uncle Tom
’ served his father in this capacity; let
him be,
Suppose, now, that among his negroes
Jhe finds a bad one. What shall he do
with him? Keep him? Keeping him
makes him worse, and moreover he cor
rupts the others. Set him free? That is
to put a reward upon ovil. Sell him to
his neighbors? They don’t want him.
If they did, he wouldn’t sell him to them.
He sells him into the south. This is a
statement, not an apology. Here, for a
moment, one touches the terrible subject
of the internal slave trade. Negroes were
sold from Kentucky into the southern
market because, as has just been said,
they were bad. or by reason - of the law of
partible inheritance, or, as was the case
with Mrs. Stowe's Uncle Tom, under
constraint of debt. Of course, in many
cases, they were sold wantonly and
cruelly; but these, however many, were
not enough to make the internal slave
trade more than an incidental and subor
dinate feature of the system. The be
lief that negroes in Kentucky were regu
larly bred and reared for the southern
market is a mistaken one.—James Lane
Allen in The Century.
W The Inventor of Shorthand.
* There has been held in London dining
llie week an international shorthand con
gress, which assembled to celebrate the
jubilee of Isaac Pitman’s system of pho
nography and the tercentenary of the
Stenographic method of reporting, which
(originated with Dr. Timothy Bright.
„ Bright's “Characterie, ” published in
1587, seems to havfl been the earliest
English manual of shorthand, and it had
numerous successors, none of wliich ever
became popular, however, till Pittman
hit on the phonetic principle as the basis
of stenography. It has recently been
ascertained that the credit of inventing
the first system of shorthand writing by
sound belongs to the Rev. Phineas Bailey,
a native of New Hampshire who had
fettled in Vermont, and published in a
hook setting forth his system in 1819.
This was eighteen years before Mr. Pit
man’s “Stenographic Soundhand” saw
the light, but to the latter is nevertheless
accorded the credit of being the father of
IriOdem shorthand.—The Epoch.
I
’ “Gath”' 6n Journalism and Literature.
C.' Literature as a profession has no exist-
fecn ence in America. I have been connected
Co with papers for thirty years, and once
mont thought that writing for the press and
Sec re literature ran in the same direction. It is
NE'uot so, and the lines, though in appear-
™ n ?ance coincidental, are yet in reality widely
efl,° separated. Literature can in this country
E be only the profession of the man of
lar leisure. For the hardworking and aspir-
* ing young man. whose capital is his
brains, literature means hardly a compe
tence, while the press means in compar
ison affluence. A good stor\ printed in
book form will not bring much, but sold
to a paper will command a greater pi ice
and be wider read. V* hen once engaged
in writing for the press, even men of great
talent seldom leave that occupation to
write books, for the emoluments for news
paper writing will always be greater than
those of literature.—San Francisco call
Interview.
LIFE.
Our life is nothing but a wintei's day,
come only break their fast and so away;
Others stay dinner and depart full led;
The deepest a^e but suns and goes to bed.
He's most in debt that lingers out the day,
-Who dies betimes has less and less to pay.
Worth Knowing-
Mr. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake
City, Fla., was taken with a severe
Cold, attended with a distressing Cough
and running into Consumption in its
first stages. lie tried many so-called
popular cough remedies aiid steadily
grew worse. Was reduced in flesh, had
difficulty in breathing and was unable
to sleep. Finally tried Dr. Kind’s New
Discovery for Consumption and fonnd
immediate relief, and after using about
half a dozen bottles found himself
well and has had no return of the dis
ease. No other remedy can show so
grand a record of cures as Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption. Guar
anteed to do just what is claimed for it.

HE WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN.
A Maryland Chemist Beckoned Without
His Ho»'
I live in the midst of the malarial
districts of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water of that region.
Being naturally of a strong constitu
tion, I had frequently boasted that no
chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con
dition in which I found mvself six
months ago. I first noticed that I did
not feel so sprightly* and vigorous as
was my wont to do. I felt tired and
enervated. Soon I noticed a distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel
heavy and I began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with
chattering of the teeth, severe rigors
passed over me, and no amount of
clothing could keep me warm. The
chill was succeeded in turn by the
fever, in which I seemed to be burning
up, the congestion in my head produced
a violent pain in the frontal portion -
and a heated sensation of the eyelids,
with an indescribable aching of the
lower limbs. Nausea and vomiting
occurred with severe retchings, and
when the paroxyms passed off I was
thoroughly prostrated by a weakness
that was felt in every part of me.
During all this time, it must be un
derstood that I did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies "were tried, such as liquid ar
senate of potash, valeriante of iron,
mercury, bromide of potassium, chlo
ride of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni-
dyi, quinine and several others. All
this I did under the advice of eminent
physicians.
It was while I was in this deplorable
condition that the claims made for
Kaskine, the new quinine, as a specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. I knew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence in
it, but as everything else had failed I
deemed it my duty to try it, so I began
its use, and its prompt and radical ef
fects were of the nature of a revelation
to me. Many people may think the
statement scarcely credible, but it is a
fact that after onlv a few days’ use of
Kaskine all the leading symptoms in my
case were decidedly abated or ceased
altogether; and in a few weeks from
the time I took the first dose I was
cured. „ _
This was about the first of January,
and since then I have experienced no
recurrence of the malarial symptoms in
any foim. A remedy of such excep
tional virtue for the cure of malana
ought to be commended and universal
ly made known. I have therefore
urged it upon the attention of my
friends, several of whom have used it
with like good results in every case, and
it is with the greatest pleasure and sin
cerity that I commend Kaskine to suf
ferers from malaria everywhere.
