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.

I have been a periodical sufferer from Hay Fever (a most annoying and loath some affliction,) since the summer of 1879, and until I used Ely’s Cream Balm was never able to find any re lief until cold weather. I can truth fully say that Ely’s Cream Balm cured me. I regard it as of great value and w'ould not be without it during the Hay Fever season. L. M. GEORGIA, Binghampton, N. Y.

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.
