Drifting 1'OWn. Drifting down in the gray-green twilight, Oli, the scout of the now-mown hay! Soft drip the uars in the mystic sky-light, Oh, the cliarm of tbe dying day ! While fading flecks of bl ight opalescence But faintly dapple & saffron sky, The stream flows on with superb quiescence, The breeze is huslicd to the softest sigh. Drifting down in the sweet still weather, Oh, fhe fragrance of fair July ! Love, me love, when we drift together, Oh, how fleetly the moments fly! Drifting down on the dear old river, Oh, the music that interweaves! The ripples run and the sledges shiver, Oh, ihe song of tins lazy leaves! Aud far-ofT son mid? for tl.e night so clear is? Awake the echoes of bygone times ; The muffled roar of the distaut weir is Cheered hy the clang of tho merry chimes, Drifting down in the cloudless weather, Oli, how short is the summer day ! J.ovc. me love, when we drift together Oh, how quickly we drift away ! Driitingdown as the night advances, Oh,'the calm of tho starlit skies ! Ev< lids droop o'er the half shy glances, Oh, tho light in those Hue-gray eyes ! A winsome maiden is sweetly sieging A dreamy song in a minor key ; Her clear low voice at.d its tones are bringiu; A mingled melody back to mc, Drifting down in the clear calm weather, Oli, how swr'Ct is the maiden's song! Lovo.me love, when we drift together, Oh, how quickly we drilt along! * Gray Hairs and Golden Head Gray Hairs and Golden Head walkei nu the village street together under tl.< lilac blossoms in tho biicht sprint we :ther.

Th( strong spring sunshine was all aboul him as he passed down the street. Il touched his gray hnir j*nd his sad old face with a foreign brightness that was more pathetic than any sorrow of youtb could have been. He began talking in a low voice tc himself: "There is not so very much difference in our as:es-not so very much as some might think. And I could make her happy. How could sho help being happy with one who worships her?

" I was goin^ ever on the other side, of an trrand, but I can give you a little time. It's early j et." They strolled alonqr together for a moment in silei.ce.

" Ah 1" Hick Sheridan drew a long breath. His own handsome, clear young face had changed sightly witii a startled, white look. " Ah, that's it, is it?" "Mind, you know, this is no sudden thing." The older man put his hand, with an eager expression, on the other's shoulder. "I bave known her a long time. I've watched her and teen her in all her moods.

He pot his dinner and sat a lone: time ovei his enp of coffee, dreaming?dreamincr tie told himself lie was no poet; ho had not the gift of writing, of making fine phrases. Still, there was one noble poem consisting of one noble line, that line of three words; it has been written and sung since life and world and youth were young: "I love you."

I love you, sweet Anne I Persival !" j Then ho thrust it back in his pocket i and went out, leaving his coffee un i untasted. The next morning when Rick was going to his work he met Miss Percival, She stopped. "Oh, Mr. Sheridan, I have a favor tc i usk of you. We want your help." ! "Yes!"?he stood looking at her. ; To look at her was enough. " We want to take the children oat ; on Saturday afternoon for their picnic. ! You knew we promised them a long time ago, and we want you to go ; with us." " I shall be glad to go if you want me, Miss Percival," Riok answered. "Oh, it is the children, you know ! how much they think of you. I really i don't believe they could be got to go i without you!" "I am glad somebody likes me, and ; thinks me of some use," he said, humbly. They both laughed ; how beautiful j she was in this strong spring sunshine, ! standing there, straight and slim and | tall, speaking to him in her sweet, clear j voice. i "Oh, Miss Percival"?she had made a movement to go?"wait one moment. ; I have a favor to ask of you, now?a ; little one." "Yes ; that is right." Rick fumbled in his pocket. "Here is something I want you U read ; you can take it, and I want you to tell me some time, by-and-bye, what you think of it." He handed her the poem?Ah! poor Stephen. " I hope it is something interesting,' and Miss Percival slipped the folded paper into the book she was carrying. : " I will read it." "Oh, I don't know what you may , think of it; yen see, I?I naturally want your opinion. That will decide it." He was speaking with his eyes fixed on tbe ground. He was striving to be true to his friend?the friend who had eaid : "But I do trust you !" Rick felt that his task was hard. "Your opinion is all I care for about it." "Then you shall have it. I will give it my very best attention. But it must le something very important, Mr. Sheridan, you are so serious over it." " Yes, it is; it is!"

Alas, and alas! They to whom the sweet fruits of earth are given eat and are f content. To the strong belongs the ( prize, perhaps justly.

I How Shot are Made. f I , A shot-tower is certainly a curious t place to the uninitiated visitor, and the * process of manufac.uring the leaden d missiles is most interesting. Of course c it is necessary that the shot should fall t i from a considerable elevation, and the t Insight of many of the towers is over a two hundred feet. As pure lead will b not make perfect globules, it is neces f< sarily "tempered."' This "tercper" is n j prepared by the addition of ingredients, ! of which arsenic ia the main property. 1 It is run into bars convenient for use, and with pig-lead, hoisted to the top of c: the tower. Here are two small rooms, n one about twelve feet below the other, r< and each containing two huge r< j kettles in which the pig-lead and a< the "temper" are melted. From one p or the other of the two kettleB in both a| rooms?as each room has a separate d shaft?streams of shot are constantly 'r flowing. At the bottom of each kettle e: the molten stuff pours into square pans d< perforated at one side. These perfora- b; tions are large or small, according to the ui size of shot desired, and separate the th mass into distinct, delicate, gleaming si streams, whioh in turn, as they oome in a contact with the atmosphere, eepa- ai rate into perfect globules or shot, which m I are cooled in their two hundred feet re journey and the water into which they th ' fall"below. u; Fish and Meat as Food. HI There is some danger of thefieh quesion falling out of memory, This is lot to be tolerated after the interest j vhich has been excited, and for some ime maintained, in connection with Ja :his important phase of the food prob- gam em. Whatever may be the nutritious Boat ?aluo of fish as food?and we bfelieve prist it to be very great?it must be evident Oi ;hat a full and cheap supply of fish plac svonld react so as to produce a lowering recr the price of butchers' meat. The E.iir "purveyors," as they like to be ycar called, are encouraged, and in .jr0T truth enabled to keep up jleat the price of fleBh because there is noth- ' Tl ing to compete with it as a staple of the common food of the people. A revival " of the old and healthy habit of living 0,1 largely on fish would place the meat l.0 supply on an entirely new footing. tir?j This is manifest on the face of the facts; but what may not be eqaallv ap- *hc parent, though it is scarcely less note- ll?" worthy, is the consideration that F nervous diseases and weaknesses increase in a country as the pop 8toa ulation comes to live on the ^ flesh of warm-blooded animals. This Le* is a point to which attention has for; not been adequately directed. ''Meat'' T ?using that term in its popular sense tion ?is highly stimulating, and supplies M.: pioportionately more exciting than bvl a/%?nallTr rmnridViinor nftllTllrim to the dell nfrvous system. The meat eater lives gov (it high pressure, end is, or ought to be, nop a peculiarly active organism, like a aga predatory animal, always on the alert, poii walking rapidly, and consuming large quantities of oxygen, which are ^ imperatively nece^Bary for the anj safe disposal of his disassimilated m(X material. In practice we find _ that the meat eater does not live up to the level of his food, and as a conBequence he canDOt, or does not take in het enough oxygen to satisfy the exigencies ^ of his mode of life. Thereupon follow many, if not most of the ills to which for highly civilized and luxurious meat eat- fro iog classes are liable. This is a physi- bri< ological view of the food question, and St* it has bearings on the question of fish sen supply which ought not to be neg- &nc lfcted.?Lancet. loc 1 the (iiven a New Trial. pre Jones was tried for a homicide in St wai Louis.

Eloquence in snm- ?ei ming np conld not fave the prisoner gec thns defended, and a verdict of murder was rendered. The prisoner demanded a new trial on the ground of his conn sel's "ignorance, imbecility, incom^e- ' tence and mismanagement." The me supreme court denied the motion, but this decision has been reversed by the oourt of appeals, which held that gw the record of the cise showed Bradley i to have made "an exhibition of ig- at norance, stupidity and, silliness that mi conld not be more absurd or fantastical fac if it came lrom an idiot or lunatic." the Tho court admits that such conduct on $3( the part of conrisel would not call for g a new trial unless the prisoner had lost C0I leeral rifchts or advantages by it; but io nn. this case witnesses whose testimony might have saved Jones were not called, and " the prisoner in effect went to his trial and doom without counsel BUch as *n' the law would secure to every person ba acoused of crime." Counselor Bradley ftn' replies very hotly in a card, quoting Shakespeare in this remarkable manner: " The thief who robs me of my money Jal robs me of trasb, it is mine and his and co] a slave to thousands.

"Wher a gull dips his peak into the water, il is a sign that the sardines are on th( ed. surface; and when a kind of gannet, common on the coast of Brittany, divet itlon down from a height, they are at a cer!mo tain depth below the" surface. Ir tinst this case the nets are at once lei 3 for down, and tlie bait, mixed with 6and tc ,%9 cause it to sink, is scattered by the masable ^er' ** causes tbe sardines tc ien(j rise, a few emerald-green flashes appeal atea in the v aves, when the fishermen do not i for spare the bait: and presently the whole lical 8hoal rises round the nets. When there 101 are no more fish to be taken, tho nets ican are hauled in, the sardines are taken out . and thrown into the hold, and the boats sred make for shore. wed Formerly a single boat could take as many as 20,000 sardines, but now it is rare to bring in more than from 5,000 to G,000. The results vary, no^ only from year to year, but also bojn tween two neighboring points on the on. shore. According to a table prepared n(j by M. GouilloD, there were at Douarnenez, from 1859 to 1872, turee years 0fl of good, six years of average, and three j ' years of poor takings. On landing, the sardines aro taken 11 om ine uoais 10 me mcionea m xiumpers containing about 500, and the ere preparation begins at once with per(.jjg fectly fresh sardines. Wumen cat off the heads, open aDd clean the fish, and flg place them, one by one, on stone or I ' marble slabs previously Btrewod with kjg salt. While this preliminary drying Hj0 takes place, the tires are lighted, and r>8 the purest olive oil is put into immense irtj caldrons. When the oil is in a state en of ebullition the sardines are laid in an layers in iron wire baskets provided j0j with handles. These baskets are ke plunged into the boiling oil, and then placed on shelves covered with sheet zinc to drain, the oil being caught for l8t future use. The fish, when moderatest ly dry, are taken to the large dryingay house exposed to the sea breeze, where 1(?*r they remain for a longer or shorter period, according to the state of the |je atmosphere. On leaving it thay are ke sorted and put into boxes; the largeat tjs aie considered as of first quality, while jn the small are frequently metamorpho3ed 1(j into anchovies. lie The latest statistics of the Southern ft, Methodist church state that there are .q, 4,011 traveling and 5,865 local preachers, jn I 844,367 white, 993 colored, and 5,451 nt Indian members, the total of ministers ao i and members being 860,687, au increase ae of 12,984 the past year. jh Perfectly Amazcil. lg In the San Francisco Evening Bulletin we ts observe that Mr. Rosenthal, of the well l- known printing firm, Rosenthal & Roesch, ie 538 California street, that city, said to one of of their reporters: " We all know of St. lW Jacobs Oil, and are perfectly amazed at the as suddenness of the relief it affords.

But a few years back we can 0 all remember the comparatively little attention paid to tills most Indispensable of animals. We i say comparatively little attention, for the horse 9 was as well groomed,and certainlyas well fed,as 3 now; and at those great gatherings?agricultural 1 shows?you would see the pride of the county 3 and State stables and farms assembled. But there was a conspicuous want of noble draught ? horses, and as ror speeders?well, 2:40 was the S great ultimate limit that owners In those days a desired to strive for. But now a 2:40 animal is esteemed a fuir roadster, and fine animals only s deserve the name when they can shade the first j quarterof the third minute. There have been immense strides forward in therightdevelopmentof 8 horseflesh in the civilized countries of theworld. i as shown by the time-recorda of the racers ana draught capacity of the humbler^but really more ' useful, work-horse. Many things have conspired * to effect this desirable cud, chief among which, have been the Intelligent care and consideration bestowed upon the animal In his every relation ?in a word, upon the breeding. Ana this has not fulled to include a very serious modification of the old methods of treatment, doing away, In many cases, with the Inhuman and really savage plans pursued In the eradication of even simple disorders andailments,and substituting rational measures of relief Instead. A prominent factor of this reform, and one indorsed by owners, breeders, fanners and stockmen the country over, is St. Jacobs Oil, recognised by all who have u<ed it as an exceptionally good remedy for the ailments of the liorse and stock generally, meeting more indications for its use and effecting far better results than any article of a curative or remedial nature ever introduced, fc'uch breeder? and horsemen as Aristides Welch,Esq.,of Erdenheim, near Philadelphia; Milce Goodln, Esq., Belmont Park, Pa.; Culvin M.
