A few nights ago John Betterson, colored,

dreamed that he was lying on the track and
that the Atlantic express, one of the swiftest
trains on the road, ran over him and cut off
both arms, mangling him so terribly that lie
could not possibly survive. The dream was
so horrible that the man awoke, with a start,
to find himself lying flat on the track and the
Atlantic express coming around a curve,

probably I am mistaken. *As a general friend of

"Do what, sir?" inquired the young man.
“Shoot the torch—put out that dizzy little street-
pipe.”
“Do you mean this cigarette?” asked the visitor.
"That’s it,” was the reply. “You just drop that

The young man threw away the cigarette. “I
wanted to know,” he said, “who it would be proper
for me to see in regard to a poam.”
’Oh, it would be proper for you to see anybody,”
replied the biographer of Passaic. “There is noth
ing inherently improper about a poem—except the
fact of its having been written. I suppose your
verses are something ubout "The spring is coming.
Myrtle, dear, O meet me.by the creek, ’ or something
like that—something slushy and sloppy, that jibes
in naturally with wet weather and muddy roads?”

Life of Passaic was again resumed.
“I wish you would let me read this poem to you,”
said the child of genius in the doorway. "There is
only one stanza.”
“Well, cut her loose,” was the reply.
The poet produced a sheet of paper and read as
follows:
Meet me in the glen, dear.
Where the moonbeams bright,
On the nodding daisies
Cast their silvery light,
Pluck for me a flower—
Twine it in your hair—
I shall know you love me
If I see it there.
Meet me on the comer
Where they sell ice cream,
Life shall be for you, love,
Like a blissful dream.
Cling to me. my darling,
As vine hugs the oak.
And when you’r done eating
I shall be dead-broke.
“Now that ought to land her.” said the horse
reporter, “because, as a rule, girls are very par
tial to pathos and ice cream mixed—you can bet
on that.'
“Can I?” said the poet. “Well I’ll try you plan,
sir."
“That’s the daisy racket to catch a girl,” said
the horse reporter in cherry tones. “Love and
shady glens are all right, but when it comes
down to business I want a pool on the young
man that buys ice cream.”

SCRAPS OF PLANTATION SONGS.

upon his reputation as the red masher of his tribe.
Though he lagged and delayed by various excuses
the final departure o£ the delegation, to his chagrin
and disappointment she came not. At Carlisle,
where the delegation had stopped for a season, he
suddenly concluded to return to Washington. He
felt that something had gone back on him, and in
the mental paralyzation that followed he rashly
determined upon starting at once for the home
of his inamorata; for the things that
formerly pleased him had ceased to be attractive,
and the smiles of the young people who crowded
around had lost their charm entirely. With the
departure of his faith in his own fascination, had
gone his appetite, and he felt very miserable, in
deed. It was a great way to the capital city, but
distance didn’t enter into his calculations. He
wanted the pale face beauty, and he could recog
nize no law that kept hera-.vav. He would have
her if he had to emulate the heroic feat of Lochin-
. var. The members of the committee on Indian af
fairs received word that Ko-wa-che had made his
contemplated effort to escape the vigilance of liis
companions, and had been caught sliding out the
back entrance of the hotel iu the guise of a waiter.
He was promptly collared, aud as the information
went to the committee, is now under the surveil
lance of the others of me party, who are making
for the backwoods country with their pris -ner
as rapidly as their tedious course will permit.
ADVIE TO A SPRING POET.
From the Chicago Tribune.
“Which editor do I want to see?” asked a young
man who was smoking a cigarette, and wore a hat
about the size and shape of a tablespoon, as he
opened the door of the editorial rooms yesterday
afternoon and gazed about him in an inquiring
way.
“Well,” said the trotting-horee reporter, ceasing
for an instant his labors in connection with a sketch
of the life and career of Passaic, “you look as if you

THE WHEAT CROP AND RUST.
Newnan, Ga., April 2G —Eds. Constitution: The
statement in your issue of the 25th inst., if true as
to Mr. Hill’s wheat crop, is not true of the crop of
the county. The crop is unusually promising, and
no complaint of rust is made, except iu the south
eastern part of the county, and ihe cool nights we
have recently had has decreased the amount there
In that section the crop is steadily recovering from
the damage done’by it. oniy a small portion being
so badly injured that it cannot yet make a fair
yield. The common red wheat is doing best, and I
am informed that a large part of Mr. Hill’s was
sown with a new variety.
I was shown upon yesterday, by Mr. R. A. John
son, the ’’Combination Plow” man, a one-half
acre patch of oats sown with what is known as the
“Strawberry Prolific," or the Hunnicut oat, which
surpasses anything I ever saw. It is estimated that
the half acre will produce seventy-five bushels.
They were sown thin, and from each out there has
grown up five feet from 225 to 275 straws, each
when fully headed will be six feet high and will
yied from 110 to 150 oats, thus giving to each oat
which came up a yield of over 20,000 oats. Rich
land and small farms would make this a glorious
country. The oat crop is generally good. To-day
will be observed ns memorial day. At 4 o’clock
Colonel P. W. Martin will deliver the address
Since the small-pox died out nere merchants
hare turned tlieir attention to the crop prospect,
and make wheat and oats their most popular topics.
Yours, W. Y. ATKINSON.
TILDEN AND HAYES.
From the Buffalo Courier.
The experience of Hayfis ought to teach ns all
how little there is in mere official station and how
much iu strength of character. He has been presi
dent ot the United States, the successor of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln, and yet there is not
a country schoolmistress from Maine to California
that doesn’t possess as much influence as the ex-
presideut. He is seldom mentioned without a
sneer. His opinions are laughed at. Nobody be
lieves a word he utters to the public. The man
whom he supplanted, though old and worn, per
plexed by the Hatreds of those who wronged him,
and apparently intent only in spending the remain
der of his days in retirement, is still a power in the
land. Parties watch his movements, study his
words, speculate on his designs. Friends lean on
his counsel, and foes dread his possible activity.
Iu a word, Samuel J. Tilrien is a great citizen,
though he failed to reach the presidency. Ruther
ford B. Hayes has suDk into the condition of a
nonentity, which nature intended him to fill. It
may be a greater misfortune to attain to an office
for which we are unfit than to miss an honor which
we have fairly won,
REPORTED RUST IN WHEAT AND RYE,
Mr. L. J. Hill, President of the Gate City national
bank, who has a stock farm near Newnan, returned
from that place yesterday morning. He reports
the wheat on his farm and adjoining suffering bad
ly from the rust. He says he will hardly make seed
from either his wheat or rye crops, and that his
oats were beginning to rust when he left.
This is the first complaint we have heard this sea
son, and we trust that ihe area of “rust” may be
small. The heavy tains of .the past ten days have
excited apprehension, however, that there might be
general trouble through middle and upper Georgia
with the wheat crop.
Convtried of Manslaughter.
New Orleans, April 25.—James Cosgrove, who
stabbed aud killed Richard Shea, on March 7th, was
yesterday convicted of manslaughter.
THE REASON WHY.
Tho’ she hath not Dian’s grace,
Nor Aphrodite’s perfect face
And goiden hair.
She is dearer unto me
Than another e'er could be,
And more fair.
“Is she rich, then?,’ Oh! dear no,
But 1 have enough, I trow,
For us two.
“What do I love her for?” Ah! well,
That I can’t exactly tell,
But I do.
All my hope of gladness lies
In the love-lighi of her eyes;
The fond kiss
Of her tender rosy lips.
Touch of her slender finger-tips.
Gives more bliss
Than you, cold cynic, e'er could guess.
But, still, the reason, you confess,
“You can’t divine.”
Well, I love her. and she loves me;
What better reason can there be
For joy like mine?
London Spectator.
STRENGTH
to vigorously push a business,
strength to study a profession,
strength to regulate a household,
strength to do a day’s labor with
out physical pain. All this repre
sents what is wanted, in the often
heard expression, " Oh! I wish I
had the strength!” If you are
broken down, have not energy, or
feel as if life was hardly worth liv
ing, you can be relieved and re
stored to robust health and strength
by taking BROWN’S IRON BIT
TERS, which is a true tonic—a
medicine universally recommended
for all wasting diseases.
Sot N. Fremont St., Baltimore
During the war I was in
jured in the stomach by a piece
of a shell, and have suffered
from it ever since. About four
years ago it brought on paraly
sis, which kept me in bed six
months, and the best doctors
in the city stud I could not
live. I suffered fearfully from
indigestion, and for over two
years could not eat solid food
and for a large portion of the
time was unable to retain even
liquid nourishment. I tried
Brown’s Iron Bitters and now
after taking two bottles I am
able to get up and go around
and am rapidly improving.

BROWN’S IRON BITTERS is
a complete and sure remedy for
Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Malaria,
Weakness and all diseases requir
ing a true, reliable, non-alcoholic
tonic. It enriches the blood, gives
