TfiERE?S BLACK I? THE U LUE
OF THE SKY.
An artist one day ai his ease! stood.
And sketched with a pencil free,
?Jhe go^d of the meadow, the green of the
wood,
And the purple and gray of the sea.
A child looked over a little way back ;
And questioned the artist,. " Why,
Do you mix with your color a touch of
black,
When you paint the blue in the sky ?"
" Only because I see it, my child ;
I am painting the sky as it is ;"
And he softly said to himself and smiled :
"lt is one of tarth'a mysteries;
"Not the lily itself wears a perfect white :
Nor the red rose an unmixed dye;
There is light in shadow, and shadow in
light,
And black in the blue of the sky." *
There are films over nature everywhere,
To soothe and relresh our sight,
For mortal eyes were not made to bear
The dazzle of shadeless light.
Oar consolation and our complaint
: Awaking both smile and sigh ;
There; are haman faults in the holiest
saint;
There is black ia the blue of the sky.
What then ? Are the sk es icceed not bine,
Lilies white, nor the roses red ?
Shall we doubt whether ever the crystal
dew
-.Drops pearls on-the path w tread !
Wo may dwell w?iere- there, is no Mu? in
th/aa? -a^*
No veil over earth, by and by,
But go- d always and everywhere,
Though black may steal into blue sky.
We have read from the leaves of an old
- fashioned Book,
Of One io the glory unseen,
\Vbose g?z? the poor-seraphim dare not
brook, f *j?Jb ""?y*-"% 4?\
Before whom nw-hea^eTu^miclenn
And the hope of immortals is in the
thought
Of'a Truth and Love so high
That possible evil Bullies them not;
No black itt?the?brae,pf .their sky.

The parasitic^fungj which infest
potato vines and other' vegetables
most important to man, as furnishing

a group of special interest to the mi

acquainted with them as pests, s nd
consequently do not admire . eitbei

Tanning for Measure.
Many pereonB who are engaged io
farming lora livelihood or asabranch
of business do not regard it as a very
pleasurable occupation. In 'act, they
complain of their monctonous life
and of their lack of the means of en
joyment. Many farmers make their
plans to spend the latter years of
their lives in some town, where they
can have more to ei joy than they do
on the farm. Men who become rich
m cities, however, desire to retire to
the country, and very many of them
do so. A large proportion of the
very wealthy men in the city own
aud manage farms. Several bf them
a.re Wfll vmed in every department
of flgiiculture, fruit growing and
st'cck-rnisbg The like is true of men
ol wealth in other tines in the coun
try. F-?rmit>g is engaged in as a
pastime by many people in Great
Bntiau. Indeed, complaints are con
stantly being mace in the Engiteh
rap? re by bi mers thut so much land
is being teemed -by persone ol large
meats, who desire to engage in dif
ferent tranches ol huabindry eimpiy
tor pleasure. They purchase land
at prices that those who look upon it
as a safe investment for conducting
farming operations cannot alford to
pay. They also aecure the best ?-tock
of ail kinds, not with a view to profit,
but as sources of pleaaure. The Eng
lishman of wealth and leisure takes
more pleasure athis c untryaeit than
in hie London manaion. He takes
pleaaure in being a good farmer, a
skillful fruit grower, and a success
ful Btcck-breeder. A large number
of professional and busineas men iu
Nev York and Philadelphia manage
farms aa a means for recreation. They
sp^nd money on them, not with a
view of get.ing returns in caBh, but
I in happiness. Lawyers, ministers,
i merchants, and manufacturers spend
considerable of tLeir time iu farming
as a souice cl pleasure.
Ia there ary other kind of business
in which men engage simply " lor the
fun of the thing ?" Rich men do not
engage ic mining, manufacturing, or
trade simply for pleasure. No one,
perhaps, ever heard of a man who
had an abundance of this world's
gooda engaged in running a train of
cars, hammering at an anvil, teudiug
i a saw-mill, laying brioh or quarrying
sto ie for pleasure. They do not think
that they can obtain any enjoyment
in any of these occupatiooa. They

Spurgeon on Uis Fiftieth Birthday.
Mr. Spurgeon, the great preacher
ot London, on bia fiuieth birthday
waa interviewed at length. Ile was
fouud tu be aa strong aa ever in his
auupHthy to the E-ubiirheu Church,
Miling it '"a great and crying ii jus
lice to all those who do nut belong to
it." Ic tLtulogy he atands where, he
did when he ttegau preaching-that
is, where Calvin a oud m his maturer
year?. "It is the Calvinistic way ot
iouking at things which causea my
lermons to have BUCU acceptance in
Scotland, in Holland, aud even in the
Iran vaal, wbere a recent traveler
expressed bia aaiouiahment at finding
translations of them lying beside the
family Bibie in the farmstead." The
.fficacy ol prayer has beco ae Dot a
natter ot faith with him, but of
knowledge and everyday experience.
" I am constantly witnessing the most
remarkable instances of answers to
prayer; my whole life ia made np of
them." Every member who has joined
his church ia expected to do something
;or hie fellow men. The theatre ex
erta a powerful infl ence, introducing
young men to what is called gayety,
and familiarizing young women with
things not calculated to preserve their
modesty. " So far as I know, no per
son would think of goiDg to a theatre
unless he was prepared to sever his
connection with us. I preach a Cal
vinistic creed and a Puritanic morali
ty." It is safe to say that the print
ed sermons of Spurgeon are more
widely read than those of any other
minister. There is nothing intangi
b!e or metaphysical about them ; they
are plain, practical discour-es on the
Bible, and understood by all who read
them, hence their great popularity.

He Saw the ?l Guvnor."
The "rural roosters" of ArkaDsa?
have au exalted conception of a Gov
ernor's magnitude. Some time ago ii
barbecue was held at Grand Point
and among oth?r distinguished citi
zens, the Governor agreed to attend
A large crowd assembled, and when
it became known that the Governor
nad arrived the people were much
excited in their anxiety to behold the
august ruler. Old Sam Fellers, who
h-id walked fifteen miles to be present
on the occasion, turned to a friend,
alter an unsatisfactory search, and
said :
" Has the Governor got here y it,
Bili?"
" Yes, thar he etan's talkin' to the
County .ledge.'
"What? that feller with the red
neck like a turkey gobbler ?"
" That's the man."

Just in the Nick of lime.
Edison is a genius and a benefac
tor to his race. He has given the
world a multiplicity of inventions
just at the hour when they were me?t
needed. And now that the Presi
dential candidates are nominated,
the platforms promulgated, and the
flood-gates of oratory are to be
thrown wide open, the good man has
hvented a Megpphone-au inBtru
meut that transmits ordinary couver
sation two hundred yards, and will
enable stump-speakers to make them
selves heard So the outer-most edge
nf the largest crowd of open-eared
patriots that the canvass is likely to
gather. Tue Megaphone consists of
two huge cone shaped tiu tubes abeu
'ightfeet in length, three feet in
diameter at the large end, and di
minishing to an inch tube at the
ipex, where pieces of rubber tubing
ire fitted on, Between these tabes
are two others, about eight feet long,
and five or eix inches in diameter at
the front end. A large Megrapbone
waa placed on the United States
steamship Tallapoosa, last Monday,
at Washington, and one of the officers,
speaking but little above an.ordinary
conversational tone, called to and
stopped a man who was driving a
team of horses across the Anacostia
bridge, fully a quarter of a mile
awaj. Conversation in ordinary
tones was also easily and distinctly
carried on with the shopkeeper of the
Sangus, two hundred yards distant.
All hail to the Megaphon. I It iaij

A Sleeping Cburcb.
Mr. D. L. Moody relates the fol
lowing :
There was a little story told in the
American press that made a great
impression upon me as a father. A
fainer took ms little child out into
the field on a Sabbath and lay down
under a beautiful shady tree, it being
a hot day. The little child ran about
gaibfcrinn wild flowers and blades of
grass, and coming to its father said :
Pretty, pretty." At last the lather
Ml asleep, and while he was sleeping
the child wandered away. When he
awoke his firBt thought was " Wnere
is my child !" He looked around, but
could not 6ee him. He shouted at$
the top of his voice, and all he heard
was the ecbo'of his own voice. No
response. Then going to a'precipice
some distance he looked down, and
lhere upon the rocks and briars he
6aw the mangled Jorm of his loved
child. He rushed to the spot, took
up the litelees corpse, and hugged it
to his bosom and accused himself of
being the murderer of hie own child.
While he w*as sleeping the child wan
dered over the precipice.
I thought when I heard that, what
a picture of the Church of God ? How
many Christian men are sleeping now
while their children wander over the
terrible precipice-right into the bot |
tomles8 pit ol hell. Father, where is 1
your boy tonight? It maybe just
out there in some public house; it
may be reeling through the streets
of Loudon ; it may be passing down
to a drunkard's gave. How many
fathers and mothers are there in Lon
don-yes, praying Christians too-!
whose ctiil iren are wandering away j
while they are slumbering and sleep
lug? I? it not time that the ChurchJ
ol God should wake up and come to
the heip of the Lord as one man and,
strive to beat back the dark waves
that roll through our streets, bearing
upon tneir bosom the noblest young
we have ! O my God, wake up the:
Church and let na trim our lights and
go sorth and work for the kingdom ol
God !- Watch Tower.
A Curious Plantation Dance.
The Bird Which lu Ungainly, Except j
Wheu Soaring, Imitated by a
Negro.
Macon Telegraph.
" Would you like to see the Buz
z-ird dance ? said the gentleman whose
T'"" ? ? i .^anefc
. I We were seated on thTbt^a j?
randa of a Southern country house
built some fifty yearB ego. In front
of us a row of giant magnolias, large
as oaks, seemed in the dim starlight!
freighted with Dalis of perfumed
snow. To our right a vast grove of
pin*s was softly soughing in the sam
mer breeze, and beyond them the
g a:e of the blazing knots, which lit
half a hundred cabins, proclaimed
the presence ol the " negro quarter."
We were on tho HugueDiu planta
tion, in Sumter County, a modeBt
farm ol 8 OOO acres, at present owned
by J. M Johnston and managed en
tirely by C. C. Clay. Ere the min
ute had clapped Mr. Clay walked to
.the end of the veranda and gave a
whoop which would have invoked
the envy ol a Comanche Indian and
the prompt attendance of a Macon
policeman.
Au answering shout was heard and
in a few minutes a long line of dusky
forms came stealing through the shad
ows of the pines and ranged them
selves in front of where we sat. The
nong began and the musicians com
menced to pat. Suddenly into the
centre of the open ring leaped the
sable dancer who was to personate
the buzzard. Though dancing in
perlect time to the wild butjnusical
accompaniment, he yet managed to
imitate with marvelous exactness ev
ery movement of the uncouth bird
he bad chosen tor his model. Its
tottering, tiptoeing gait waa faithful
ly delineated, as was also its sudden
springs from right to left, its timid
approach, its ravenous peck and sud
den retreat from the craved but
dreaded carcass, which, in his bonn
ly drama, was represented by a J^ar
that looked indeed like the buzzards
had been after it.
There are as many as five hundred
negroeB on this plantation. While
the dance and song were'progress
ing, a quarter of a mile away there
rose from a church on the same plan
tation the prayers and anthems of
those who found their pleasure in re
ligion. And as I listened to the
mingling echoes of the sacred and
secular songs I thought that the "old
plantation,? dew to Southern memo
ry, had not vanished from the earth.

T1HE above cut represents a section
and Gat6 of a strong, cheap and dur
able Steel Wire Fence which arc now be
ing used at tho North and Northwost in
preference to any other kind of fencing.
Wherever it has been tried it has given
great satisfaction.
It is a net work without barbs and will
koop out small pigs or any other animals
that may injure gardens or farm crops.
It makes no shade and shelters no ene
mies to crops or poultry,
lt i3 just the fence for Gardens, Lots,
Lawns, Paiks aud Cemeteries.
.Boin? dippedin Rust-proof paintit will
last a life ti mo, and is better than board
fence in every respect.
It is easily and quickly put up.
