Three Prayers.
An infant in its cradle slept,
And In Its Bleep It smiled?
And one by one three women knelt
To kiss the fair-haired child:
And cach thought of the days to be
And breathed a prayer, half-sllently.
One poured herloveon many lives,
out bnow lnro'a foil and pare
Its burdens oft had been to her
A heavy weight to bear;
She stopped and murmured loving.
"Not burdened hands, dear child, for
thee."
One had not known the burdened hands.
But knew the empty heart;
At life's banquet she bad set
An unfed guest apart:
"Ob, not," she whispered tenderly.
"An empty heart, dear child, for thee."
And one was old; she had known care.
She had known loneliness;
She knew God leads us by no path
His presence caunoi bless;
She Bmlled, and murmured trustfully,
"God's will, dear child, God's will for
thee!"
Queen Victoria at a Methodist Clau
Meeting;.
The Methodist Times, of London,
prints this very interesting story concerning
the presence of the queen at a
Methodist class meeting:
Speaking at the anniversary of Lambeth
mission, Mr. J. A. Bowron, of
Blackheath, related a remarkable incident
which be said bad never been
told in public before, "Many years
ago," said he, "my father conducted a
large society class at Sloane Terrace
Chapel, Chelsea, and at one time one
of the members of that class was a
female servant at Buckingham Palace.
This'servant, however, come in for
much persecution and ridicule on account
of her Methodism and her
regular attendance at class, ^lt became
so acute at length that some of the
other servants threatened to leave if
the Methodist servauts remained, and
the matter in some manner reached
the ears of Her Majesty, who inquired
into it, and on being informed of the
cause of the dissatisfaction, said. 'I
will go to the meeting myself and see
if it is a lit place for a servant to go to.'
And," continued Bowron, "Her
Mma tr> mv father's class, and
, lUajTOiJ VWkuv vw ?J
on her return to the place she said to
the per.-ecuted Methodist servant,
'Never forget your class meeting. I
" only wish that other servants would
go also.' "
It is to be regretted that some more
particulars are not given, such as the
date and other circumstances. If human
nature was then what it is now,
the presence or so great a personage?
unless she went incognito?must have
made a great change in the class. If,
indeed it was a true Wesleyan class, it
must have given Her Majesty a view
of the nature of the Methodist movement
which she never could have obtained
through the testimony of others.
Victoria was but eighteen years
of aae when she became queen, ana
her decided character and promptitude
of action would tit in well with this
story. The maxim that Is here put in
her mouth, "Never neglect your class
meeting," is one that should be uttered
with earnestness to every member
of the Church. Our experience prevents
us from having a scintilla of
sympathy with any Methodist who
speaks disparagingly of the cla?s meet,
iug as an institution, whatever he
may have to say of some class leaders
and classes. As a means of training
young converts keeping the conscience
thoroughly acute, giving to all the
benefits of the knowledge of the religious
experience of each, and administering
consolation as well as strengthening
the tempted and encouraging
the doubting, it is the best of all the
means of grace.
A REINCARNATED DOG.
He Hadn't Lost His Human Traits Iu
the Process.
' You can't tell me there is nothing
in the theory of reincarnation." remarked
a traveling man, "for I know
there is. I was down in Florida recently,
and in St. Augustine I saw a
snob dog?an out and out snob. His
name is Towser, and he is just a common
yellow dog, lives in the street
onH holnncrfl to no one. '
"In the summer, when no wealthy
northern people are in the town, he
plays with all the middle class children
and dags and will greet patronizingly
the middle class men and women
who know him. But in the winter,
as soon as the season begins, be
attaches himself to some rich New
York family, loafs in their yard, tags
their footsteps or carriages all about
the city, attends them to church and
home again and so far as he is able
makes himself one of them. For bis
meals he has been forced to resort to
the back yards of a plain, good women,
who pities him and feeds him regularly.
He is friendly with her at his
eatinc hours, but never so far forget
himself as to wag bis tail at her on the
street or when he U with more preten"tious
people.
"When society functions take place
in St. Augustine, there is Towser.
Golf matches, afternoon teas, picnics
or boating parties, all are attended by
him with most conventional regularity.
He never greets any ordinary
acquaintance- when thus socially
engaged and has even tieen known
not to eat for several days when a
fashionable wedding was on his mind.
With the swell dogs of St. Augustiue
Towser never has auy rows, having,
no doubt, studied the politic art of
being agreeable, but with commoner
cuts he is irritable and defensive.
That dog has been human in his time,
and I'd give a penney to know who
he was."?Indianapolis Journal.

BERMUDA GRASS.
i
i
The Jtrttcy Cow-Hor Milk?and the f
I'roflttt on All/ i
One of the leadiug spirits in (he '
dairying industry of Georgia which *
has developed so rapidly durning the
past few years is Mrs. B. W. Hunt, of (
Eatontou. j
Several years ago she wrote an article
which was widely copied at the >
time, but it has not beeu seen in priut 1
for some time. The article is so full
of practical and valuable information <
about the dairy industry in its rela- '
tion to Bermuda, the blue grass of f
Georgia, that there is considerable de- *
maud for its publication, and the Atlauta
Journal reproduces it:
The question has beeu asked me t
what advance dairying has made In i
the South since the war, and I cannot s
auswer the question better than by (
giving some facts aud figures trained 1
in a personal experience.
Tb'e country I reside in is geographically
the center of the State of Georgia
and lies in that "blacfe belt" (so
called because the negroes far out
number the whites), devoted exclusively
to cotton culture, extending
from Virginia to Texas. The t-oil
origiually fetile, ha9 been much exhausted
by the ruinous system of
farming known as "clean culture."
So deadly and persistent a fight having
been waged for years against the
two enemies of the cotton plant, grass
and shade, that our once rich plantations
have long been iu danger of being
transformed into arid deserts.
Years ago my husband purchased
North and brought here a t-mall berd
of Jerseys, and we began selling the
butter and increase from the herd,
under the difficulties of acclimating
the animals and controlling the thermometer
in this semi-tropical region.
From our little experiment, however,
such results have fol'owed that mu*t
impress the most conffrmed and hardened
disbeliever in that "specialized"
animal, the butter cow! Let it be
borne in mind that at the time we
brought our Jerseys to the county, the
small amount of butter made here was
principally consumed on the farms
where the animals were raised, only
an insignificant portion finding its
way to the market. The native
Southern cow was a wretched creature
poorly fed, and cared for, and
managed and milked by ignorant negroes,
who starved and beat her without
mercy, her unhappy offspring also
coming in for its share of abuse. No
calf was raised on the bucket or pail.
The negro allowed it to euck to start
the flow of milk, then drove It from
its mother with blows, and this sucking
and beating continued during the
whole Drocess of milking varied by
occasional whacks on the cow when >
she did not "give down her milk.', <
This mode of treatment, coupled with <
insufficient food and exposure to incle- 1
ment whether, did not produce a *
breed of cows calculated to make *3
dairying a safe or profitable business e
iu the Southern States. The result I
was, taking my section as typical, the ^
South drew large butter supplies from a
the North, it being generally conceded f
that thi9 commodity must be always t
imported here, as neither gra99 for the *
making nor ice for the t-aving were c
indigenous to the realm of Kiug Cot- [
ton. i
A wonderful revolution, however, a
has taken place in 10 years, in ideas r
and methods agricultural in my se^- c
tion ; and while it is due in part to the
general breaking up throughout the *
South of princely plantations into ?
small farms, and the turning of atten- t
tion to diversified industry, the intro- t
duction here of the Jersey cow has a
been the greatest factor In producing c
the result. Once acclimated she has t
thriven on the tropical grasses through
the long summers of this latitude as
though to the manor born, and by '
that subtle alchemy known only to her
kind, she has transmuted the gold of J
Southern sunshine through her butter
into the farmer's pocketbook.
My county, that so short a time ago (
imported its butter, now manufactures
all its home supplies, and exports
largely!
I quote from the books of the express
company here. From April 1,
1886, to March 31, 1887, exported 33,- ,
000 pounds; from October 1,. 1887, to
September 30, 1888, exported 5o,000
pounds. An increase of 50 per cent,
in one year, and the demand has fully
kept up witn tne increaseu Buppiy: i
reiterate the statement that the introduction
of that little butter machine, 1
the Jersey cow, has accomplished
these results a few years under untold
disadvantages.
Every dairy in the county that if
making money has now its herd of 8
Jerseys, puro or graded, and the breed r
once tried has never been abandoned
for any other. The short horn, Devon,
Ayrshire and Brahmen have all
been successively, if not successfully
employed, but it was left for the little a
Jersey to put dairying on a paying t
basis in the South.
Remembering that our county ships t
more butter than any other in the .
State, the facts pay eloquent tribute to
the profitableness of this breed, With
the introduction of these valuable butter
cows has come naturally an appreciation
of fine pastures, aud of all
grasses that are indigenous to the cli- '
mate, or are capable of cultivation
here; aud with grass has come shade,
moisture, rest and fertility to the worn
out cotton fields. The hitherto worthless
Bermuda lands are proving a
source of greater revenue to the planter
than all his proud acres of "fleecy
staple," and plantations run over with
this pest(?) that were once offered, on
that account, lower than others, are (
now held at higher prices. \
And strange it is to see a gray-haired
Southern planter coaxing the once I
despised Bermuda grass to live, thus I
mutely and tguchingly acknowledging
his life-long error in fighting his best
friend?now the last hope of his old
age.
Perhaps the Northern reader may r
asfe, "What is Bermuda grass?" The
botanist will answer, it is the Cynodon
dactylon, but one may look*deeper
than nomenclature and learn more.
It is the child of summer and a product
of tbe tropies! It riots in the
sun, droops in the shade and dies at
the touch of frost. It has been in the
South the Ishmaelite of grasses, with c
"every man's hand against it." A E
wandering outcast. A "Bedouin of 1
the desert." A free, wild rover, ever f
unconquered and unconquerable. Un- ,
der the fircest down pouring solar heat
-1 ?ntitK or* omorolil
It Will WVCi a ucocii nnu <*u vujvtuiu
eheeu, where tbe whole family of civilized
grasses, timothy, red top and t
clover, would wither or perish. g
Its origin is a mystery, and its life
has a history?a history of never end- v
ing persecution and struggle for exi^t- j,
ence. Tradition says, it is an alien to c
our shores, a waif from far off coral
reefed islands, borne ou the wings of a
the hurricane from Bermuda to the
South Atlantic States. It thrived and t
waxed strong here where it found p
such suuuy skies and genial soil, and
soon began to wander far and wide.
But alas! it had entered the realm of a
hoary tyrant "old King Cotton," and
the mighty monarch who ruled the
world, swore by his white, white
beard, death and destruction to the au
- ~ * mi L
Jacious foreign invaaer. inea w^au
i war of extermination! Inch by
nch, year by year, hunted by fire and
iword, the Bermuda grass retreated to
ts stronghold, the inaccessible
iwamps and wild Southern juugles,
ind there it bided its time. But there
:ame a day when the realm of the
[yrnnt was invaded by a queen.
'Oli, every inch a queen was she,
Vnd she came from an isle that Is over the
sea.
Vnil she came to set the country tree
'rom a despot's sway, King Cotton.*'
She quickly found the loug perse:uted,
hidde" one, and called : Come
orth, and bless this land. Fear not,
or lo ! I am thy friend and ally for
iverniore."
Theu with a mad scamper, ine unamed
little runway grass went over
he valleys and hills of toe South, but
lever far from his frieud and preierver.
Close, close to her he ever
sreeps for protection. When you see
he lifted head of the Jersey Queen,
rom Texas plains to Georgia "canejrake,"
look down at her feet and
here you will find her faithful folower?Beamuda
grass.
What I have written is not a poetcal
fable. It is a true story aud more.
is an epitome of history, a brief
iompendium of ali the marvelous
changes and transformations that
lave silently, like the unseen forces of
lature, been at work in the South for
!0 years. And I wi.-h the gift were
nine to state the wondrous facts with
luch power tbat the most careless
eader of these liues could not forget,
lor slightly pass them over.
One might almost say that from a
evolution that shook a continent ^ith
ts throes, all the stupendous results
ivolved in the cotton States, might be
lummed up in two comprehensive
yords?Bermuda grass.
For to the thoughtful student of
nen and events, they embody the beief
that "old things have passed
iway" with all the pathos and overvhelming
change these words iraplv.
They represent the new South, with
ts new life, dew aspirations, new coniitions
and destiny, and they contain
he "sum and substance of all things
loped for," if yet unseen in the South>rn
States, diversified industries and
conomicai, intelligent agriculture,
^nd may a Southern woman, whose
inly interests and hopes are in her
lative land make in conclusion a pro)hecy
?
The Northern traveler to my section
>f the South a years hence will see not
he God-forsaken, tree-girdled wastes,
>ut waving fields of grain, and green
**t 11 It finQ AQftIo QflH WPlU

illed barns, and every sign of a pros)erous
farming people. The whole
>eautiful region that stretches at the
oot of the Allegbanies through the
^arolinas, Georgia and Alabama will
rie wild the famnus "blue gras lands"
>f Kentucky iu rich meadows, choice
lairv products and blooded stock.
Sere are no drifting snows nor icy
itorras, no blizzard frozen pastures.
That nature has marked this garden
ipot with the sign and seal of her approval
as the true dairy region of
America, who can doubt ? Over it
ibe has arched skies as sunny, and
anned it with air as soft, as tnose of
he island of Jersey ; and given it advantage
over all the other sections, not
uily in never ending summers, but in
>erpetually flowing pure waters and
ich responsive soil that only needs
ippreciative care and skilled labor to
eward the husbandmand with plenteous
harvest.
With the vivid iuterests justawakmed
in dairying, the abandonment of
occlusive cotton culture, the emigraion
here of Northern people who will
p?r?h iib fhpir hahita of industry, thrift
ind economy, there is a future at last
lawDing for those of us who live In
he "black belt of the South."
