"WHAT MY LOVEU SAID." By tho merest chance, iu the twilight gloom, In the orchard path he met me? in the tall, wet grassy with it? faint perfume, And I tried to pass, but he made no room. - Oh! I tried, but he would not let me. So I stood and blushed till the grass grew red, With my face bent down above it. While he took my hand as he whispering said? How the clover lifted each pink, sweet head To listen to all that my lover said 1 Oh! the clover In bloom?I Jove it! In the high, wet grass went the^path to hide. And the low, wet leaves hung over, But I could sot pass on either aide, For I found myself, when 1 vainly tried, In the arms of my steadfast lov jr. And he held me there and he raised my head. While he closed tho path before me, Aud be looked down into my eyes and said How the leaves bent down from the boughs o'er head. Oh! the leaves hanging lowly o'er me. Had he moved aside but a little way I could surely then have passed him, And he knew 1 never could wish to stay. And would not h^v'e heard what he bad to say, Could I only aside have case him. ' It was almost dark, and the moments sped, And the searching night wind found us; But he d-ew me nearer and softly said How the pure, sweet wind grow still instead, To listen to all that my lover said. Oh 1 the whispering wind around us. I am sure he knew when he held me last, That I must be all unwilling; For I tried to go, and I would navo passed, As the sight'was come with its dews at last, And the sky with its stare was filllng; But he clasped mo close, when I would bare fledJB And he made me hear bis story, And his soul came out from bis lipsand-aaid?- sr.--..-] How the stars crept out when the white moon led, To listen to all that my lover said. 2.0b! the moon aud stars in glory. I know that tho grass and thelejjrve^jiu, not. tell, And I'm sure that tho wind, precious rover, Will carry his secret so safely and well That no being shall ever discover One word of the many that rapidly fell From the eager lips of my lover. And the moon and the stars that looked over Shall never reveal what a feiry-like spell They wove round about us thaUnight. in the dell, In the path thtough the dew-laden clover Nor echo the whispers that made my heart ?well,/ SAs they fell from the lips of my lover.

A BIDE ON A WILD BULL. No Stene in Spain Ever Half so Exciting to the Spectators. A year or so since there wa9 "rodeo" oat on Lost River, in Lake county. Ranchmen had gathered for a circuit of seventy-five miles. to claim and brand their young cattle;-and "when a cordon of men had surrounded a large band, among which was a Spanish bull, a dispute arose about a "mallet head," or calf, that'had escaped the spring branding. The dis? cussion grew warm, none of the stock j owners being able to set up a valid claim 1 or establish an undoubted title. At last, in a spirit of bravado, a rancher proposed that whoever would ride the bull without saddle or halter should be owner of the calf. There was a yell of approval, but not a general stampede of volunteers, for taurus was in ill humor and his foaming mouth and blood-shot eyes gave token that whoever rode him would nave a ride as wild ?s Mazeppa's and one that might not end so well. At last a "vaquero" named Fritz accepted the challenge and the wild bull was immediately lassoed and held by a lariat round horn and foot. Dismounting from his horse the vaquero fastened his long rowled spurs securely, tied a handkerchief round his. head, ap? proached "tEe inf?riated 'Vmmal and grasping the tail i? bis bauds sprang jtigBtl^oh it, setling tho'spura^del^Ty in its flanks as he 'Settled .seciirely in his seat. TThe lariats were slackened, the bull gave a roar of rage and terror and flung his head to the ground, but the rider had his back to the horns and a firm grip on the tail and kept bis seat. Another roar that shook <tho ground, a wild piunge, and the* now maddened bull shot out across the sage plain with light? ning Bpeed, his: plucky rider, twisting the tail that to him was a sheet-anchor until the bellowicgs were lost in 'the distance. For over a mile and a half the race con? tinued, amid the excited cheer of the veouero's comrades. Occasionally the bnll ? gave-7"-^ desperate plunge through a heavy clump of sage in the . vain attempt to rid' himself of his tormentor, but the long rowels only clung more firmly to his flanks. Some? times the animal and rider - were hidden by undulation?, in the ground, and bets were even made that Fritz would be thrown and gored; but at last the bull, exhausted from sheer fright,Tell'and the plucky vaquoro, stepping IffijAftoff, re? turned to claim bis prize,' which wos unanimously awarded. . The,,occurrence ' is related*by;a prominent 'i?xae man in Lake County, who ventures the opinion that no scene in a Spanish ''bull-ring'-' was ever half so1 wild or exciting. ?-1 r^rrm? Life's Drawbacks. The rich man of 1805 would generally bo thought to be only moderately well off ?in 1881.- - Wealth -has grown-.with the facilities for its production,"and wo non reckon by hundreds of thousands instead of tens of thousands. But, with all this increased capacity for toil and accumu? lation, the human system remains just where it was. The millionaire can eat and drink no more .on the average than the poor'man. If -he- transgresses the laws of digestion he suffers as much as would the pauper. If machinery, and railroads, and telegraphs have saved time and the waste of muscle, they have greatly increased the wear and tear of nerves. -We^understand hygiene. better than our. ancestors, and' so there are fewer deaths from fevers "and epidemics. The average duration of life nas increased thereby. Yet by way of unpleasant compensation, the mortality from brain, heart and kidney troubles is growing, and' a premature and often sudden death is likely to be the fate of the enterprising man . of business.. Worry Mis and 80: does over-stagnation. The latter was the danger of the slow old times, while the' former is the haunting specter of to-day. Safety lies in the calm middle way. Comparatively few people have the courage or the opportunity to decline fol? lowing the multitude, even when they know that the multitude is going wrong. Yet no one has more than one life to live, and be should use it to the best advan? tage. A fair support, with intervals of rest, and ft proper attention to morals and refinements, is to be preferred to wealth gained by the sacrifice of every comfort, liable to be lost in the first financial storm, and perhaps not gained at all. Still the majority does not so conclude. Everything goes with a rush. Even the Sunday leisure of a former day is often deemed wasteful, though we can now do as much in six days as our fathers did in thirty. Haidly any one is satis? fied to move on calmly and regularly. There has been no modification of natu? ral laws in behalf of the supported ex-1 igencies of the period. Suicide by overwork is as sure and often as speedy as by dissipation, and the most successful toilers, if they do not actually die at once, are often unfitted for the enjoyment of wealth before they have gained it. There may be a feverish enjoyment in speculation and rapid acquisition, but there is none of the tran? quil happiness of moderation, and the reaction when disaster comes is fearful. There is the same restlessness in social spheres as in financial. Almost every one is. striving and pushing, not with ' commendable ambition only, but with j impetuous and sefish energy. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, but we have not misrepresented the character? istics of the day. It may not be possible to weigh the aggregate of happiness at present existing with that of any earlier period, for the growth of knowledge and the increased prevalence of philanthropic ideas should also be taken into account. Yet it may safely be affirmed that old sources of misery not only exist, but have been-joined by new ones, and that a multitude of inventions has brought with it a multitude, of anxieties.?Cincinnati Gazette. Mrs. Sprauge's Petition Refused. ?At Kingston, R. I., yesterday, in the Sprague divorce case, counsel for Mrs. Katherine Cbase-Sprague presented a petition for a bill of .particulars of her alleged crime of addltery. Mrs Sprague's counsel argued that Mrs. Sprague was entitled to what sbo asked for to protect her from being compromised by testimony which she would then have no opportunity to refute. The counsel on the other side argued that it would be an unfair disclosure of the Governor's defence against his wife's petition. If there was any danger of what her coun? sel feared, the Court could and would protect her interests at the time of trial. The Court decided agaiust the petition, and stated that if a divorce should be granted for non-support or desertion, all the charges" of adultery would be elimi? nated, so as not to stand as a part of the record to reflect on the one against whom the case should be decided. An order for commissions to take depositions in New York State and the District of Columbia in support of Kate Chase-Sprague'b peti? tion was then issued by the court. The Governor's counsel said, they would take depositions in Baden Baden, Paris, Cali forna, New Jersey, New York State, Illi? nois, Missouri, and Massachusetts. The trial will take place in May. ?

The Dispatch, of this city, will publish to-morrow the following correspondence iu reference to a controversy as to the authenticity of tbe statement in "Holmes' ScUobP'. History" thut "General Grant declined ^receive General Lee's Bword" at the surrender at Appomattox: Buffalo Lithia Springs, Va., March 11,1881. Gen. U. &' Grant, New York: Sir?In a friendly discussion, between several gentlemen of Northern and Southern proclivities as to the truth of history a question arose whether General Lee at the surrender actually tendered and you received his sword. It was mu? tually agreed that you shotdd be written to for ardecision. There is no idle curiosity or desire for notoriety in regard to this request, and a reply from you would be nighly appreciateu. Very respectfully, J. D. Jeffress. General Grant replied as follows on the bottom of the same sheet of paper: General'Badeau's book, now in the hands of the printer, will give the exact truth of the matter referred to in this letter. There was no demand made for General Lee's sword and no tender of it offered. U. 8. Grant. In reference to the above the following conversation between Generals Lee, Ear? ly aud others, reported in the Rev. Wil? liam Jones' Book, entitled "Reminis? cences of Lee," may be of special interest, and agreeswith General Badeau'B forth? coming account, and thus settles the dis? puted point: "Generali; Lee said that...when he met General. Grant they exchanged polite salutations, and he stated to him at once that he desired a conference in reference tc?ihe3?$jfcct matter of their cOrrespon 3?nce. ^General Grant returned your -sword-did-he not, General?' one of the company asked. The old hero, straight? ening himself up, replied in most em Ebatic tones? 'No^sir. he* didcnot. He ad no opportunity" of doing ? so. j I was determined that the aide arms of officers should be exempt by the terms of sur? render, and of course I did not offer j mine.: All -that" was.,said about 'swords "was that'General.Grantapologized to me for not wearing his. own. sword, saying that it had gone off in his baggage and he had been uuable to get it in time.' -General Lee-stated, in his conversation i -that; he WBsrac^ompanied when he met i sSeSeral 'ffrant^onlyr by Colonel Charles Marshal, of his personal staff, who went with one of General Grant's staff to find ' a suitable room in which to bold the conference; that they were first shown to a vacant house, and declining to use that .were conducted by Major McClean to his house and shown into his parlor. Lee then briefly stated tho terms upon which he would bo wi;,:ng to surrender. Grant expressed himself as satisfied with them, and Lee requested that he would formally reduce the proposition to writing, which was done." Anecdote of Washington.?It has often been remarked-cf Washington that no one was ever in his presence without being strongly impressed with icverence for his dignity. But it seems by the following anecdote, whiehjis repeated by the correspondent of the New York paper, that at least there was one exception; "When the President ?was procuring the grounds for the city which was to be the seat of government, he had but little diffi? culty in obtaining the necessary releases, except .in one instance. Mr. James Byrnes was the owner of a lot or tract of land which it was advisable should be included in the plan. JThe .General had various conferences with Mr. B., who was specially obstinate, and resisted all the reasoning and persuasion of the great ?man; Indignant -at being thus opposed, Washington turned upon him with great severity, "Mr. JameB Byrne?., what would your land have been worth if I had not placed'tHiscity on the Potomac?" Byrnes was undismayed^and very coolly turned to him and said, "George Washington, What would you have been worth it you had not married the widow Curtis ?" CHICKEN8 LjXDRIOUSLY RAISED.? W. C. Baker, of Crosswell, N. J., iB the largest artificial poultry raiser in tbe world, and, after spending $80,000 in ex Eerimenting and getting established, now as a gross income of $80,000 a year, and raised 250,000 young chickens during 1880. He is enlarging his accommoda? tions to keep 8,500 laying hens of . the best varieties, but still has to buy eggs. Both hens and chicks are housed and fed in luxurious systematic style, the hatch? ing being done in two incubating cham I bers, capable of holding 80,000 eggs each j in tiers of shallow drawers, where they are -warmed by gas made on the place, ( and turned daily by women in attend-, ance. The young chick is taken to tbe breeding house some hours after it is hatched, where it is kept till three weeks old, and creeps under a hen mother of hollow zinc filled with hot water, and lined on the outer side with blanketing. After three weeks the lusty young fowl is put amongflthe laying hens or in the craming house, where each one is con? fined in a small box and stuffed for two or three weeks~ till ready:for market.? Dutches* Fanner. G ? The use of corn for fuel is attract? ing much attention in localities in the West where wood is scarce and coal is not to be found. It is said to be superior for stoves to anything but hard coal. Two or three acres of corn would supply an ordinary family with fuel for a year. Regarding tbe sentimental feeling against burning food, it is aptly said that it is better to use what it only takes one year to produce than to destroy the growth of scores of years, as in the use of timber. ? The total production of gold throughout tbe world in 1880 amounted to $U8;O00,CO0 ($89,000,000 of which was produced in America); of silver $94,'000,000 (of which $76,000,000 was produced- in America); total of both $212,000,000. The largest production of any one year was in 1853? of gold, $236,000,000; silver, $49,000,000; total of both, $285,000,000. Since that year the annual product of gold has dimin? ished one-half, and that of silver has nearly doubled. ?r Postmaster-General James does not propose to spend any time in accepting invitations to dinners in his honor until he has got "the hang of the shop." Eighty of the leading business men of New York on tbe 9th inst. tendered him the compliment of a dinner, but Mr. James declined, saying: "I must re? member that I am still untried in my new position. I cannot appropriate compliments or rewards which I have not yet earned. One who spoke with in? spired wisdom, warns us: 'Let not him that putteth on his harness boast as he that putteth it off." ? The deato of Alexander II, after a reign of tweaty-six years and eleven days, calls to mind the singular fact that Russian Czars and-Czarinas, notwith? standing the ever present danger of as? sassination, remain in power, as a rule, longer than ariy other European rulers.

In the year 1873, there were two negro prisoners contined in the jail of this county, who were very badly afflicted with that loathsome disease Syphilis. In my ollicial capacity as Ordinary, I employed Capt. C. T. Swift, then a resident of this place, to cure thou, under a contract, "no cure, no pay." He administered to them his celebrated Syphilitic Specific, and in a few weeks I felt bound, under my contract, to pay bim out of the county treasury, as be had effected a complete and radical euro. In testimony I hereunto set my official slgna *?>?.* t ii ru and seal. I Seal I A. S. GILES, ???,?'k Ordinary Houston County, Ga. Chattanooga, Texx., Feb. 14, 1879.
