THE HAND UPON THE LATCH. My cottage home is filled with light, The long, long summer day; But, oh! I dearer love the night, And hail the sinking ray; For eve restores me one whose smile Doth more than morning's match? And life afresh seems dawning while His hand is on the latch! When autnmn fields are thick with sheaves, And shadows earlier fall, And grapes grow purple near the eves, Along our trellia d wall? I dreaming sit?the sleepy bird Faint twittering in the thatch To wake to joy when faint is iieard His hand upon the latch! In the short wintry afternoon I throw my work aside, And through the lattice, while the moon Shines mistily and wide, On the dim upland paths I peer In vain his form to catch? I startle with delight, and hear His hand upon the latch 1 Yes, I am his in storm and shine ; : For me he toils all day; And his true heart I know is mine, Both near and far away:. . . And when' ho leaves our garden gate At morn, his steps I watch? Then patiently till eve await His hand upon the latch ! A TVJEIRD FANCT. If the dead, lying-under the grasses, Unseen linger near the bereft, Having knowledge and sense of what passes La the hearts and the homes they have left, What tear-drops, than sea-waters salter, Must fall as they watch all the strife? . ? - When tbey; see how we foil, how we falter,' How we miss in the duties of life. ; If the great, who go ont with their faces Bedewed by a weeping world's tears, t; Stand near and can see bow their places Are filled, while the multitude cheers; If the parent, whose back is bent double With delving for riches and gold, Lends an ear to the wrangle and trouble About him before he is cold; If the wife, who left weeping and sorrow Behind her, bends down from above, And'beholds the tears dried on the morrow And the eyes newly burning with love; If the gracious and royal-souled mother, From the silence and hush of her tomb, Can hear the harsh voice of another. Slow-blighting the fruit of her womb; If the old hear their dearly-begotton Rejoicing that burdens are gone; If theyoung know how soon they're forgotten While the mirth and the revel' go on? What sighing of sorrow and anguish Must sonnet through the chambers of Space! What desolate spirits must languish In that mystic and undescribed.place I Then life were a farce with its burden. And death but a terrible jest Bat they cannot. The grave gives its guerdon Of silence and beautiful rest. The Goat. '.' The gpat was coeval with the ox and the sheep, in those regions of the East where civilization first dawned upon mankind. He was a part in the mytho? logical systems of the first nations. In the Sacred Scriptures he is constantly re? ferred to as forming the wealth of patri? archal families. By the laws of Moses his meat was allowed to be need as hu / man food, and he was ordained to be - employed in remarkable religious cere: monies. "Thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair as a covering to the taber? nacle," is a sacred injunction. The ear? liest Grecian and Roman writers speak of it as yielding food and raiment, and superstition connected it with the attri? butes and services of the gods. It has ' been'the universal companion of man? kind in their migrations, from the.ear? liest periods of authentic history. Yet it is a remarkable fact that no goats were , found in New Holland or in the Polyne? sian Islands! and, more stranger still, no ' traces of the domesticated goat were found on this continent, though, at its discovery, it was peopled throughout. . There was, however, the wild Rocky Mountain goat, which, if it could be do? mesticated, it is supposed might possess some valuable properties. The fleece of the goat has furnished man witb his richest, most durable and gorgeous attire; its nutritious and whole? some milk and meat have yielded him ' food; its skin has supplied the materials for water-sacks or bottles, morocco, &c, while the animal itself may be said to have lived on chips, and yet among us the goat is the subject of an unnatural and unreasonable prejudice. Our foreign population, however, are i giving more attention to the breeding and management of these neglected ani? mals, especially for their valuable milk? ing properties. Mr. L. S. Diehl, our former consul at Batavia, says: "The goat is an indis? criminate feeder, living on weeds, . browse, &c., where a sheep wonld starve. Its milk is much used by travellers and families, and especially by inhabitants of tropical, bilious and fever countries, as a Sreventive and core for those and other iseases incident to such countries. ' The medicinal qualities of goat's milk have long been known and acknowledged in the Old World and in some portions of this country, iff being not only very wholesome, but less liable to curdle on the stomach. By those who have tested the different kinds of milk, it is much esteemed and preferred in tea and coffee, and is largely used for children and con? sumptives and invalids, especially at the various hospitals in Europe. Mr. James B. Davis, of South Caro? lina, who has travelled much in the East, says: "The Malta milking goat gives about a gallon of milk per Bay. It may not be uninteresting for me to state a fact observed by me in the malarial sec? tions of the United States and Mexico. In all similar sections in Asia and the East, they regard cow's milk as being an exciting cause to bilious fevers as well j as to liver complaint, and hence only use goat's milk. The modus ogendi has been I under discussion by the faculty of Paris." Prof. Law says: "Persons, even in large towns, could, by the means of a goat, readily supply themselves with milk far superior to that which they commonly obtain, and it is surprising that a method so simple and cheap, and of avoiding the frauds too much prac? ticed in this kind of food, should be neg? lected." A goat can be kept cheaper than a sheep, and can be kept about the house of the poor man, or tied by the road-side. In will live on the refuse of the kitchen and a little coarse feed, and yield from two to four quarts of the richest and most wholesome milk per day during nearly the year round. The Scind goat, the Maltese, Syrian, and some other varieties, are valuable milkers, and for convenience and econo? my to the poor, where food is high and pasturage scarce, they have, in many places, even in the country, supplanted the cow. The goat crops even poisonous Jilants with impunity and relish, and no eaves or herbage seem to affect the quality of its milk. Whenever a gentle? man keeps a horse and cannot keep a cow, for want of room, &c., a goat can be kept on the leavings of the horse, and the family health and comfort promoted thereby. Mr. I. S. Goe, of Brownsville, Penn., had an Assyrian goat which gave a gal? lon of milk per day. Mr. Diehl had a similar goat equally good, whose milk he sold to physicians for their patients for twenty cents a quart. The kid should be taken off when about three weeks old. The ghat should then yield about three quarts a day till about three months before parturition, when the quantity may be gradually re? duced. A goat should always be milked three times a day. This is better for the health of the goat, and improves the | quality and quantity of the milk. It is not generally known that a goat will give more milk tethered to a certain spot, and moved now and then, than when she is permitted to run at large. If mischiev? ous, she can be yoked and fettered. The wool-bearing goat is now a subject of great interest to our manufacturers, for the time is not far distant when fine and rich worsted stuffs will be made in this country from its wool, rivaling the gorgeous, durable, and brilliant fabrics of the far-famed cashmere. We are al? ready making worsted stuffs and lustrous Orleans goods; and all that is now want? ed arc the looms and skilful workmen. These, to begin with, can be imported. Descriptions and representations of the Indian cashmere looms, and the Persian shawl looms, &c, are now in possession of our agricultural department, sent home from the Paris Exposition by an intellignt gentleman familiar with Eas? tern manufactures, while he was travel? ling throughout Europe and some parts of Asia, making a most elaborate and thorough examination of the whole sub? ject. There are in the United States several thousand of these wool-bearing goats of the best known breeds. In this country these animals are improved in size, weight and quality of the fleece. The three-fourths blood yield a fleece as soft and fine as the imported animal, but not so long. This is more than Englaud can boast of. France has been more success* ful, but not as successful as our breeders in the acclimation of this goat. We conclude by expressing the belief that the girl is now living who will wear on her wedding day a cashmere shawl of American manufacture.?Boston Cultiva? tor. Why AuntSallie Never Married. ?"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us why you never got married. You re? member you said once that when you .were.a girl you-were engaged to a minis? ter, ' and promised us you would tell us about it some time. Now, aunt, please tell us." ."Well, you see, >wheu I was about sev? enteen years old I was living in Utica in the State of New York. 1 hough I say it myself, I was quite a good-looking girl then, and bad several be aus. The one that took my fancy was a young minister, a very promising young man, and remark? ably pious and steady. He thought a good deal of me, and I kinder took a fancy to him, and things went on until we were engaged. One evening he came to. see me, and put his arms around me, and kind o' hugged me, when I got excited and some flustrated. It was a.long time ago, and I don't know but what I might have hugged back a little. I was like &?y other girl, and pretty soon I preten? ded to be mad about it and pushed him away, though I -wasn't mad a"bit. You most know that the house where I lived war, on one of the back streets of the town. There was*glass doors in the par? lor, which opened over the street These doors were drawn to. I stepped back a little from him, and when he came up clos e I pushed him back again. I pushed him harder than I intended to; and don't Jon think girls, the poor fellow lost his* alance, and fell through one of the doors into the street" "Oh, aunty 1 Was he killed ?" "No, he fell head-first, and as he was going I caught him by the legs of his trousers. I held on for a minute, and tried to pull him back, but his suspen? ders gave way, and the poor young man fell clear out of his pantaloons into a parcel of ladies and gentlemen along the Btreet." "Ob, aunty I annty 1 Lordy I" "There, that's right; squall and giggle as much as you want to. Girls that can't hear a little thing like that without tear? ing aroend the room and he-he-ing in such a way, don't know enough to come in when it rains. A nice time the man that marries one of you will have, won't he? Catch me. telling you anything! again." "But Aunt Sallie, what became of him? Did you ever see him again ?" ".So; the moment he touched ground he got up and left that place in a terrible hurry, I tell you it was a night to be remembered. How that man. did run 1 He went out west, and I believe he is preaching out in Illinois. But he never married. He was very modest, and I suppose he was so badly frightened that time he never dared trust himself near a woman again. That, girls, is the reason why I never married. I felt very bad about it for a long time?for he was a real good man, and I've often thought to myself that we should have been very happy if hL suspenders hadn't gave way."_ How to Judge a Hobse.?The ster? eotyped methods of deciding the health, age, staying properties, and net value of a horse are familiar to all iutending pur? chasers ; and since, in this connection, the old adage: "Familiarity breeds con? tempt," is a true one, we think, says the Spirit of the Turf, there may be many of our readers who will welcome a few prac? tical rules, and save money by employing them: Never take the seller's word; if dis? honest he will be certain to cheat vou ; if disposed to be fair, be may have been the dupe of another, and will deceive you through representations which cannot be relied upon. . Never trust to a horse's mouth as a sure index to his age. Never buy a horse while in motion; watch him while he stands at rest, and you will discover his weak points. If sound he will stand firmly and squarely j on bis limbs, without moving any of them, the feet planted flat on the ground, with legs plumb and naturally poised. If one foot is thrown forward with the toe pointing to the ground and the weight taken from it, disease of the nav icular bone may be suspected, or at least tenderness, which is a precursor of dis? ease. If the foot is thrown out, the toe raised and the heel brought down, the horse has suffered from lamnitis?founder ?or the back sinews have been sprained, and he is of little future value. When the feet are all drawn together beneath the horse, if there has been no disease, there is a misplacement of the limbs at least, and weak disposition of the mus? cles. If the horse stands with his feet spread apart, or straddles with the hind legs, there is weakness of the loins, and the ddneys are disordered. When the knees are bent and the legs totter and tremble, the beast has been ruined by heavy pulling, and will never be right again, whatever rest and treatment he may have. Contracted or ill-formed hoofs speak for themselves. Never buy a horse with a bluish or milky cast in his eyes. They indicate a constitutional tendency to opthalmia, moon blindness, &c Never have anything to do with a horse who keeps bis ears thrown back? ward. This is an indication of bad temper. If the horse's hind legs are scarred, the fact denotes that he is a kicker. If the knees are blemished, the horse is apt to stumble. When the skin is rough and harsh, and does not move easily and smoothly to the touch, the horse is a heavy eater, and his digestion is bad. Avoid a horse whose respiratory organs are at all impaired. If the ear is placed at the side of the heart, and a wheezing sound is heard, it is an indication of trouble. Let him go. ? Wm. P. Gillespie was on his death? bed at Columbus, Ind. The physician told him that he could not live many hours. "Are you sure I can't get well?" the patient asked: "I don't want you to make a mistake about it. Is there a pos? sibility of recovery ?" He was assured that his speedy demise was absolutely certain. Then he explained why ho was so anxious to get exact information. He had murdered a man twelve years before, and had never been suspected of the crime. He desired to confess and be forgiven, if he really was going to die, but not otherwise. He died, and the truth of his statement has been amply sustained. Apostrophe to Water. The following beautiful apostrophe to water is occasionally used by the great temperance lecturer, John B. Gough, with a startling power and thrilling ef? fect altogether irresistible. It is not strictly original with Gough, but borrow? ed and probably improved by him from a phillipic of .lohn Taylor, the famous ora tor and Methodist preacher who flourished in Texas before the days of Bam Houston. He was holding forth at a camp meetiug, and hurling hot thuuderboHs of eloquent denunciation at sin and sinners general? ly, when word reached him that certain parties had erected whiskey booths on the camp ground. Pausing in the midst of a strain of impassioned eloquence, he quiet? ly took hold of a glass of water which stood before him, and slowly raising it on a level with his eye, he pronounced these words, which, for startling and spon? taneous effect, has never been surpassed. His face was aglow with his subject, and his clear, ringing voice, in stirring ap peal and electric power, ran out full and clear upon the ears of the eager thousands that crowded about the stand. The effect on the uncouth and untutored frontiers? men was vivid and maguetic in the ex? treme, and they arose in their frenzy, destroyed all the liquor, and laying rude hands on the panic-stricken vendors, marched them off andforbid theirreturn. Here is this master-piece of word-paint? ing, which, when once read, will never be forgotten: "What is the liquor which God the Eter? nal brews for his children ? Not in the simmering still, over smoky fires choked with poisonous, gases, and surrounded with the stench^ "oL Bickenihg odors and rank corruptionistsj doth your Father in Heaven prepare the precious essence of life, the pure cold water. But in the green glade and grassy dell, where the red deer wanders ana the child loves to play, there God brews it. And down, low down in the lowest valleys, where the mountains murmur and the rills sing; and high up the tall mountain tops, where the naked granite glitters like gold in the aun; where the storm, clouds brood, and the thunder storms crash; and away far out on the wide, wild sea, wbete the hurri? cane howls music, and the big waves roar the chorus, sweeping the march of God; there he brews it, that beverage of life andhealth?water! And everwbereitisa thing of beauty; gleaming in the dew drop; singing in the summer rain; shin? ing in the ice gem, till the leaves all seem to turn to living jewehi; spreading agolden veil over the setting sun, or white gauze over the midnight moou. Sporting in the cataracU. sleeping in .the glacier:. dancing in the hail shower: folding its Bright snow curtains softly "about the wintry world: and waving the many col? ored iris, that seraph's zone of the sky, whose warp is the raindrop of earth, whose woof is the sunbeam of Heaven, all checkered over with celestial flowers by the mystic hand of refraction. Still al? ways, as it Is beautiful, that life giving water. No treason bubbles on its brink: its foam bears no madness and murder: no blood stains its liquid glasit: pale widows and orphans weep no burning tears in its depths: no drunken, shriek? ing ghost from the grave curses it in the words of eternal despair. Speak out, friends, would you exchange it for that demon's drink?Alcohol ? Uncle Phil's Price.?There are a great many people in their religion, that remind me of "Uncle Phil," a pious old darkey of old time in Texas. Well, Phil was a fervent Christian, with a great gift of prayer. He attendee! all the Saturday night prayer-meetings on the neighboring plantations and could pray louder and longer than any of bis brethren. But Phil had one weakness, he dearly loved money, and. different from the negro generally, loved to hoard it. Near by us lived a man who, not troubled by any scruples, would pay Phil a dollar to work in his field on Sunday. One Sunday night Phil came home after dark. . I accosted him with-?-' s "Where have"you been, Phil?" "Oh, jest knocking about, massa." "You have been working for Miller." "Well, you see, massa, the old fellow is in weed and he jest showed me a sil? ver dollar and I jest couldn't stand it." "Aint you afraid the devil will get you for breaking the Sabbath ?" Phil scratched his head a minute. "I guess the Lord'U .'scuse me, massa." "No. He said 'remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.'" Phil went off looking pretty sober, and I it was not long before I heard his voice i in fervent prayer back of the barn, so I thought I would slip down near enough to hear. "Oh, Lordl" I heard him say, "I have this*day ripped and teared, cussed and sweared at them confounded oxen of Miller's and jest broke the Sabbath day. Oh, Lord, please forgive me; please forgive mo, for you knows I'se nothing but a miserable heathen anyhow. If you'll jest forgive mc this time I'll never do it again as long as I live, 'ceptin he gives two dollars and a half a day." At this point I was obliged to beat a retreat, but I am thinking that poor Uncle Phil isn't the only two-dollar-and a-half Christian in this world. A Race for a Bride. ~A novel wed? ding was celebrated at Pollockville, N. C, on 3d inst. It seems that Moses John Miller and Alexander Bibb, two well-to do young farmers, were in love with the same girl, Leonora Lloyd. She was not able to decide which she liked best. On Sunday morning Bibb walked home from church with her, and left her under the impression that she said she would marry him. Sunday night Miller went to see her, and understood her to say that she would marry him. Both men next morn? ing went to the court house to get out the license. Each procured the neces? sary documents, and started off with a license to marry Miss Loyd. They' met at the court house door, and, after some talk, agreed that the first man who reached the lady's bouse should marry her. The residence of Col. Loyd was one mile distant, and both men started on the race for the bride. Bibb soon quit the main road and dashed into the wood, expecting to make a short cut and reach the house first, but Miller kept the road, aud got in on the homestretch eight min? utes before his rival. The men were in sight of each other going up the lane to the house. Bibb's effort to overtake his rival was almost superhuman. When they reached the house, Bibb, from sheer exhaustion, fainted in the porch, falling almost at the feet of his lady love.? When the situation was explained to her, she said she had come to the conclusion that she liked Mr. Bibb the best, and therefore she would marry him. Her sympathies were won over by seeing him faint. She said she believed that both loved her, but that he who faints at the danger of' losing a bride must love her more than he who is cool and uncon? cerned in the midst of it all. The Rev. Aaron Jasper, the well-known Baptist minister, married Mr. Bibb and Miss Loyd. "Women Never Think.?If the crab? bed old bachelor who uttered this senti? ment could hut witness the intense thought deep study and thorough inves? tigation of women in determining the best medicines to keep their families well, and would note their sagacity and wisdom in selecting Hop Bitters as the best, and demonstrating it by keeping their fami? lies in perpetual health, at a mere nomi? nal expense, he would be forced to ac? knowledge that such sentiments are baseless aud false.?Picayune. ? The grape islands of Lake Erie have 4,000 acres of vines, and the yield in 1879 was 10,000,000 pounds. The wine pro? duction was 1,526,400 gallons?a little more than 381 gallons per acre. ? The Lord Chief Justice of England, Sir Alexander Cockburn, had an oppor? tunity lately to pay a compliment to American courts and American jurists, and he did it in very haudsome terms. The case was oue involving an important question of maritime law, an action brought to recover for cargo lost by a vessel which was wrecked while trying to secure salvage by saving another vessel that was disabled. In giving judgment for the plaintiff the Lord Chief- Justice said that, as it was the first case of the kind which had come before the court, they had practically to make the law. "I am glad," he added, "that in doing so we have the assistance afforded to us by the decisions of the American courts and the opinions of American jurists, which, though not binding upon us, are entitled to the highest respect." He then went on to show how carefully the law had been analyzed and laid down by our courts, and the wisdom and practical common sense of its bearings upon such cases. -What he said was the .testjmony of an expert to the character and scope of American insurance law. ? Rev. Milton Turner," whose name has a seeming familiarity to our ears, says that there is a movement on fool among the colored brethren to lay Settle and other white aspirants for the Vice Presidency on the shelf and press Bruce, the colored Senator, for that, po? sition. Grant and Bruce is the proposed' ticket. It is thought if this movemeht'fails the negro will not take much stock in the result df the election ; but, per con? tra, if it does not fail, it is equally cer? tain that the Northern Republican voters will-not care for the success/of their nom? inees. What the Radical leaders will have to do we suspect will be to buy off Turner and the other promoters of this scheme, either by other, offices or a round sum in cash. If they don't, there ia like? ly to be a little family row among our friends, the enemy.?Raleigh Obierver, May 6. j ? Mr. Gladstone's spoils of war by his late victory are enough to make an American politician's mouth water. He has ninety-five big offices to bestow, be? sides the vice-royalty of India and the ordinary patronage of the Crown. The lord-lieutenant of Ireland gets $100,000 a year, the lord-chancellor $50,000,: the Irish chancellor $40,000, and there are eleven other offices, the salaries of which exceed $20,000 each. Seventeen offices have salaries over $10,000, and sixteen between $5,000 and $10,000. The minor offices range from $4,775 down to $500, while the officers of the Queen's house? hold are paid very large sums for cere? moniously doing nothing. 3U ? The distress in Ireland, It seems, instead of being relieved is on the in? crease. The last barrel was landed from the "Constellation" on Friday, but her supplies were only a drop in the bucket. The people there had.an idea that her cargo, like the purse- of. Fortunatas, was inexhaustible, and when it gave out so suddenly they were greatly disappointed. Well, the only thing to be done is to load her up again and send her back as quick as possible. Would that we had Tilden's idexhaustible "bar'l" to send them I ? In Howard county, Ark., Sarah Stokes, only eighteen years old, stabbed and killed Linda Stephens, aged twenty. The cause of the murder was a quarrel begun by the mothers of the two girls and continued by the young people. The murderess made no .attempts to es ! cape, and is now on trial. The families live oh adjoining farms and have been neighbors for many years, and both sides have many friends, between whom there is much feeling. ? The Pitt3burg Post states that with? in the last ten days twenty furnaces that sell iron in Pittsburg have gone out of blast.. It is also estimated that there is enough finished iron in stock to last till fall, and there is not likely to be any life iu the pig-iron trade till that stock is ex? hausted. ? Another big scheme is on foot to swindle the Sputhern negroes. A com? pany-has been formed to purchase cheap lands in New Mexico to be colonized with negroes. The projectors of this new freeclraen's bureau expect to get $100 each from 100,0uO negroes. ?

Democrats everywhere should Inform themselves carefully alike of the action of their party through? out the countrp and of the movements of their Re? publican opponents. A failure to do this in 1876 contributed greatly to the loss by the Democracy of the fruits of the victory fairly won at the polls. The year 1880 promises to be one of the most In teresilug nnd important years of this crowded and eventful century. It will witness npresidential election which may result in re-establishing the Government of this country on the principles of its constitutional founders, or :j permanently changing the relations of the States to the Federal power. No intelligent man can regard such on election with indifference. The Word, as the only daily English newspaper published in the city of New York which upholds tho doctrines of consti? tutional Democracy will steadily represent tho Democratic parly in this great canvass. It will do this in no spirit of servile partisanship, but tempe? rately and hrmlv. As a newspaper the World, be? ing the organ of no man, nocliuucand no interes'. will present the fullest and the fairest picture ? can make of each day's passing history in the ci'.y the Statut the country and tho world. It will aim hereafter, as heretofore, at accuracy first of all things in all that it publishes. No man, however humble, shall ever be permitted truly to complain that he hoa been unjustly dealt within the columns of the WORLD. No interest, however powerful, shall ever be permitted truly to Iwast that it can silence the fair criticism of the World. Durihg the past year the World has seen its dailv circulation trebled and its weekly circulation pushed far beyond that of any other weekly news? paper in the country. This great increase hes been won, as the World believes, by truthfulness, en? terprise, ceaseless activity in collecting news and unfaltering loyalty to itself and to its readers in dealing with the questions of the day. It is our hope and it will be our endeavor that the World's record for 1SS0 may be written in the approbation and the support of many thousands more of new readers In all parts of this Indissoluble Union of Indestructible States.
