Shall we walk in gladness on, Under smiling skies of blue Through an ever deepening dawn, Info wide fields fresh and new? Meeting those who came before, • Knowing each famaliar look And each well remembered tone, Though so many years had flown, Since each ether’s hand we took,. Saying farewells o’er and o’or? Shall we talk of earthly days, Speaking low, with bated breath, Of the awful mystery Of onr human life and death; Shall we wonder to recall How onr hopes were prone to fear, Hew we scarcely dared to hope If any heaven, so far, so near?

Written for the HOME JOtJBNALby J. S. JOBSOX. IA^E Oak, Fla., Aug. 3,1891. • In the month of Aegnst, 1853, the writer being nearly prostrated from close confinement at work and dyspepsia, left home for the mountains in .North Georgia. . After a short stay, instead of improving; my ailings became alarming. Hurrying home, I de termined to try the sea, and as soon as fcould reach it—only a few days, found me enroute by the Cenfral R. R., via Savannah. Ar rived at night, and the next morn ing boarded the new steamer, Mag nolia, Captain McNelty, bound for the St. John’s river. In a few hours we were on the blue, res tless Atlantic. - Oar little craft was a staunch side-wheel steamer, newly painted. It was indeed a thing of beauty, and its name expressive and ap propriate. Its interior appoint ments—finish, furniture apd dra pery, were in keeping and beauti ful contrast with its exterior, and the light and charms of the beau- ful world around ns.'L pon the cen ter table of the richly carpeted cabin rested the Word of Life, a fine guilt'Bible, with the words “Presented to the Magnolia by the Chatham County Bible Society,” written upon its blank leaf. The pencil murks of portions of it-np- propriate to thoughts of a “Home and voyage on the roering deep,” proved that it had not been neg lected. Also on the book stood a large vase of pure gold, engraved upon it-'“Presented to Captain McNelty as a token of appreciation by the Cougress of the U. S. of his valuable services rendered the Government during the Indian war iu-Florida.” That book and that token; with the personel our captain and his model crew, dispelled all fear of old ocean and wp felt ourselves in good hands and safe. Now appeared the wide expanse of water to the eastward, and the. deep green island girt coast of Georgia dotted with white villages, whose shining church steeples and spires "point upward to the City which hath foundations, to the westward charmed us as we looked out from the upper deck. Here we are, out where sky and water only meet. A beautiful day, a cloudless day; an exquisitely delightful breeze; the rolling waves from four to six feet in sparkling phospho rescent colors, and white caps chas ing each in quick succession. But the delightful scene and my enjoyment of it ended- suddenly. The curtain falls; my head was swimming, Neptun’s physic devel oped a genuine case of sea sick ness, daring which a perfect in difference as to whether 1 ever reached land again succeeded. This is said to be the experience of almost-or quite all who get thor oughly sea sick. Sutt Lovingood said he felt as if a threshing ma chine had been turned loose in bin stomach after taking a Seidlitz powder, first the contents ot one may write hereafter, it is sure that first impressions have undergone a decided change. While the climate has been of so much benefit to me, and having became attached to the country and its people, and now expect to live and die here, I would not in the least or in any way mislead anyone by too highly coloiing ad vantages to induce new corners, or hide any disadvantages, but seek to tell only the truth. In my next I propose to say more of our climate, especially our summers. after. A very good illustration as we guess, to say the least, but it was soon over with, and we landed drnnk' with the motion of the steamer and no appetite for a day A LAND OF PLENTY. y~- This is a land of plenty, yet in the great cities there are tens of thousands who are always on the verge of starvation: There are years when the corn crop is so largeRiat corn grown in the west will not bear transportation to market, the price being too low. A great deal is therefore used for fuel, it being cheaper than woodor coal. There have been years in which thousands of bushels of corn have been used as fuel in Kansas. Louisiana this year has a - very large sugar crop, and the sugar planters are'debnting how to get rid of the lower grades of their molasses. It is estimated that they will have"600,000 barrels of molas ses, and fully half of it cannot be sold for a price that will pay for barreling for it. Last year the low est grade of molasses sold as low as 5 cents a gallon in New Orleans. It would cost almost as much as that to transport it to market. The molasses is given away to those who will go to the sugar houses for it, and tens of thou sands of gallons were emptiedTuto the Mississippi river and other streams last year. It is proposed to use the molas ses this year for fuel. An experi ment has been made with it, audit is found to answer admirably as fuel and to be cheaper than the cheapest coal. Is it not remarkable that while so many are in practical want corn and molasses should be used as fuel? It does seem as if. there onght to be no suffering for food in a country where there is such an abundance of it, bnt those who need the food and those who have it are wide apart. The problem is to get the food to those who are in need of it at a price which they can afford. There is a river iu the ocean. In the severest droughts it never "fails, an<j the migktest flood it never overflows. Its banks and its bot tom are of cold water, while its current is of warm. The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain, and its mouth is iu the Artie seas. It is the Gulf Btrem. There is iu the world no other so majestic a flow of water. Its current is swifter than the Mississippi or the Ama zon, and its volume^more than one thousand nine handled times greater. Its waters as far as the Carolina coasts are indigo blue. They are so distinctly marked that the common sea-water can be traced with the eye. Often one- half the vessel may be seen float ing in the Gulf Stream water while the other half is iu the common water of ihe sea, so sharp is the line and want of affinity between those waters,-and such too the re luctance, so to speak, on the part oE that of the Gnlf Stream to min gle with the common water of the sea. In addition to these, there is another peculiar fact. The fisher men of Norway are supplied by it with wood from the tropics. see the broad expanse stretch far ther and father away until the ho rizon everywhere unites earth and sky in an azured ring, and the am ber gleams of the sunshine cause the slopes half-islanded by streams to glisten before the vision a ver itable ocean, view, with undulating waves and bi’eaking white caps. To see the perfection of beauty you must view the sun rise. It is the eve cf the dawn. The blue ocean of the aniverse, glittering with the Isles of light, is spread out before you, while God’s high orchestra, the stars, hymn matchless melody the approach of the God of Day. The orient flush es with a pale amber, only to melt away into more gorgeous colors. The tiny dewdrop on the scented leaf sways to the scented breeze, as Morn’s rich red gold lies on the tinted skies and woods. Day’s azure arches.are thrown wide open by Aurora, as with noiseless march the flame of early sunlight comes npon the zenith, tingeing with its golden crimson hue the jagged steep and gray crag-rifted fissure of each mountain peak. The deli cate lacf^work of the highest cloud that covers the entire dome of the sky with its filmy tracery, and ex quisitely wrought veil of white, hanging between ns and the azure vault, cause the latter to appear only the bluer through its diapha nous drapery. The sun embla zoned mists proudly coil up around the breezy heights, while leafy col onnades, broad savannahs, soft- shadowed vistas, green dingles, “smiling valleys dimpling nature’s cheeks,” “laughing meadows cra dling singing streams,” fn this shadowless current of resplendent light becomes envelopad in a royal mantle of gold and vermilion. Delightful also is a view of the close of day, as the passion of the snn glows over the floating clouds. The vast expanse above is flecked with clonds. White-winged cloud lets wauder far and free, bright shrined clouds float as they-sleep, sparkling spires of broken clovfUs -in weird shapes collide with whiter clouds, and the rays of the sun in terline their separate columns un til they shine like diamons thickly studded in ebony and coral. As the sunset’s glowing roses fade from the purple crest of the moun tains, the silver-tinted mists veil hill and valley, rock and stream- As the sunset seeks to gild earth’s glowing valleys and is there de nied an entrance, it rises to the mountain cloud, and dies amid the glow of heaven’s glories Twilight fades away into the silvery sheen of pale Luna, and the starry ar maments sweep in endless oii’cle around the battlement of Paradise. the crop results of 1891, taken as a whole, surpassing those of any pre vious year. If the present prom ise of the cotton crop should be re alized,. we shall have a close ap proximatfoh to the great product of last year. Com, according to the acreage and condition reported to the agricultural bureau, is like ly to give at least an aver age output. For the wheat crop, the lowest estimated yield is 520,- 000,000 bushels and the maximum five hundred and seventy-five to six Hundred millions, against last year’s crop of 400,000,000. A har vest like this is the one thing need ed to put the business of the conn try in first-class condition. The farmers have been suffering for so many years, not only from the grossly unequal tariff burthens laid upon them, but also from low prices for their products, that their industry has been undergoing a steady decaflence. A harvest such as we have now promised will ena ble them to liquidate a large amount of debt and provide them with better facilities for cultiva tion. It wilkmean so many more millions of capital put into repro ductive resources, and its benefits will therefore be permanent. The memory of last year’s ex traordinary drain of cash to the in terior and of the consequent de structive stringency in the loan market gives rise to some anxiety as to how far we may be exposed this fall to a like experience. And yet there seems to be no serious ground for such apprehensions. Last year confidence was pros trated by world-wide crisis, and trade was thereby denied its usual credit facilities at the season when it needs them most; no such con ditions exist now. This year, the cash resources of the New York banks available for helping the crop movements are nearly double what they were a year ago, added to which we are in a position to command from Europe any amount of gold we are likely to need for interior purposes, by virtue of the extraordinary purchases of grain which the continental nations will have to make iu onr markets. While, therefore, we may experi ence a reasonably active money market, we see no reason for appre hending any embarrasing strin gency, Assuming that the harvest turns out as it now promises, it seems bafe to anticipate for the second half of the year a run of active and prosperous business. that attaches to court proceedings. What this complaint will develop ultimately remains for the future to disclose. This delay is seen in the man agement of both civil and criminal cases carried before the courts for adjudication. If it be not tne bus iness of the coarts to See that jus tice is done between the parties referring their causes to them, and to see that the laws are promptly execated, then the expensive para phernalia of the courts is a farce, and the courts are failures. It is a' faet known to those observant of such things, that often civil cases hang on the court dockets year af ter year, being kept from a hear ing because, perchance, one of the parties litigant does not desire.fi- nal adjudication. In this way jus tice is ofttimes defeated in that some one is deprived, at least fol Little Giants! Little Giants!

Wonders have so multiplied in these days that opinions differ as to what can be considered the “seven wonders of tho modern world.” According to some au thorities, they are the art of print ing, the discovery'and invention of optical instruments, gunpowder, the steam-engine, photography, la bor-saving machinery, and the electric telegraph. Others make this enumeration: The Brooklyn Bridge, the Great Eastern;, the Suez Canal, the St. Gothard Tun nel, the Pacific Railway, the At lantic Cable, and the Electric Light. In ancient days the seven wonders were reckoned to be^ the Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the tomb of Mausolus, the Temple of Diana at Ephesus, the Colossus of Rhodes, the statue of Jupiter by Phidias, and the Pharos of Egypt, or else the palace of Cyrus cemented with gold. “Oh! how I dread to see my hair turning gray,” is a remark made by so many ladies.

Much injury is done by the use of irritating, griping compounds taken as purgatives. In Ayer’s Pills, the patient has a mild but effective cathartic, that can be con- ficlently recommended alike for the most delicate patients as well ng the time, of their jast rights, Such cases at each recarring term con sume more or less time of the court, and the court’s time is a tax upon the people, and, therefore, to this- extent, the people are thus made to bear an unnecessary bur den. Besides in such cases, often times witnesses who have no per sonal interest in the cases at issue are campelled to attend court from term to term, thereby neglecting their own business and losing time that might otherwise be devoted to their individual interest. * Again, there is observable a growing tendency -towards this same delay and dilatory proceed ings iu the prosecution of those charged with grave and serious crimes. Every subterfuge is re sorted to that promises to stave off and put as far away as possible the day of punishment iu such cases, thus defeating morally the wholesome principle that punish ment tor crime should be. prompt and speedy. Out of delays in such cases not unfrequently come jail breakings and the turning loose of criminals upon the public, which tends to foster instead of enre in clination to crime. We would not have the courts, by hasty proceedings, violate the sacred rights of trial by jury,which belongs to every American, native or naturalized. Nor would we kaye hasty punishment visited up on the seemingly guilty, bnt upon those whom the law and the evi dence,’ under a fair and impartial investigation, condemn. That there are evils resalting from court delays iu handling criminals, is a fact* too patent to admit of denial. And right along on this line thereiB need of reform. Throws it Off, enables the system to throw off the malady. Catarrh and its attend ant "aggravations disappear before S. S.

Such a man would be divided against himself. A friend to democracy in October, an enemy in November; a St. Louis man in the fall, an Ocala man in the winter; straight for Governor, an apostate for President The alliance organ informs ns that“Al - liancemen of Georgia will stand by the Ocala'' platform and refuse to support any national ticket that does not- endorse, in its entirety, I these just and righteous demands in its platform.

It attacks the young and the old, and it is too often allow ed to take its course. In sack cases it frequently becomes dan gerous.
