" -T . * ^ V-~ > ' ' ; A gentleman in haste to reach his pIaee>of business shortened the dis lance by going" through several nar? row streets in the poorest quarter of ??i tie city. In one of these, wlien op? posite the door of a drinking-saloon, he heard an appealing voice crying^ S'^i^^Jf?teri please stop; oh! please gi *wh?^ ? ^ookin^fcack, he saw a bare-footed, bare-headed boy running toward him " apparently unable to utter another word. *'i?d yon wish to speak with me ?" ^ he asked. ?'Yes, sir," answered the boy, mak? ing a great effort to speak. "No more talking until yon have recovered breath," said the gentle? man.* **I will wait until you are abie te tell me." And as he waited he observed the t?a in, thread-bare gar? ment?, the paleface, and sunken eyes of one who was a mere child, and yet who carried, a heavy burden of grief and care. At length an explanation was given. "I" went to our S?nday-school two - Sundays, and you said if any of the ?ebelar's got into trouble you'd help tbemyif yon could. My name is Hamlet Lsar. The teacher wrote it down, bat I couldn't go any more be? cause I didn't have anything fit to wgar^ I wanted to, and mother want? ed nie to, but father said ii was no *V good. Wonid 1 be one of your scholars, now 1 am in trouble?" "Certainly. Teii me your trouble and we will try to find a way out of it.' fc? " *^It is mother's dress, mister ; one ? she and I earned, aud she set up nights to make it, She hid it away, j where she thought father couldn't 5nd , ; It : but he did, .and he is going to sell fr it for liquor. He carried it into that saloon; and please won't yon help . tte get it., back .again ? bother said j it wouldn't be any use to try ; but , you said wS. must pray for what we ; wanted^ and then try as hard as we ? can tofget it. Father will almost kill me, feat I don't care, if 1 can only ? get mother's dress, ? mister ! / nev- ? er, neter. will drink a drop of liquor < as lonjas;! live." '.I am glad to hear that, my boy. ? Wah here for a'moment, and when 1 ? ] come back I think we eau get your j j mother's dress." Hamlet Lear shrunk into a ; corner where he could watch the door of j the saloon without being seen by any- ; one passing in or ont ; but it was not < long befo re "his name was called, and he sprang to meet the friend who was now accompanied by a policeman. ] "One of the worst places on my beat," the latter was saying. 'Thc ] keeper pays hfs license fee, and so ex? pects to gc clear ; but I have had my eye on him. A woman he calls his wife has a roora in the same build fog* where she sells second-hand clothing, and I arn watching her. "Come, boy,*' he added turning to Hamlet Lear. "Come in, and if we ? can find your mother's dress you shall have it to take home with you. . Keep ciose to me, and no one shall , hurt yon." Within two men were disputing j over a bundle, which had been partly j unrolled that the contents might be ? examined. A cheap priut dress, j neatly made, was to be exchanged i ? ?or liquor which the customer crav-1 ed. The price to be allowed had , not been agieed upon, although in the end the saloon-keeper was sure to dictate his own terms. i i The entrance of the policeman in- j terrnpted the sale, and the bundle ? was baslily pushed aside ; not, how? ever until a quick eye had caught sight of it and au eager voice- pro? claimed : "That is my mother's dress, and iather has no business with it. Ile stole it. It don't belong to him. Give it to me for mother." The wretched-looking man stand- , ing outside ?he counter sprang for? ward, threatening the boy with terri? ble punishment, and emphasizing his ? threats with more terrible oaths. "Enough of that," said the officer, , seizing him with a firm grasp ; adding ? to the proprietor : '.Pass that bandle this way." j "What bundie V was asked in ? reply. ] "Enough cf that, Bounce None j of your nonsense with me. We un- < derstnnd each other too well for that 11 Hand over the bundle." ? ( There it was; the precious dress I which had cost so much and which | j had been so nearly lost. Bui j i this was not enough for the boy. j j Notr that the dress was in his poses- ? \ sion he began to think ci his father, j \ "What will I do ?" he asked, after j ; 'seeking to win from his father S? 'expression of kindness, lt will dreadful at home when he comes.3 "I will go Lome with you, and will leave your father with thc < cer," said Mr. Bryant, to whom first appeal for help had been ma "Trust me to take care of him he will not trouble you again at * sent," was responded. And lian Loar left the saloon, followed by friend, who had decided that bi ness could wail for the stronger clai of chanty. They walked on in silence; furn: one corner after another, until tl stood at the entrance of a narr alley, when the boy said : "We in here. It is awful dark at first, 1 pretty soon we shall come to so light." Mr. Bryant had supposed that knew something of the squalor d comfort amid which many of the p< erty-stricken drink-cursed inhabitai of our cities maintain an existem but as he groped his way through t filthy alley leading to a grimy, dila dated tenemcrt-house of the ve lowest type, all previous experienc ?rere cast in the shade. "Be careful now," said his gui when they had passed 'through t open door and begun to ascend narrow, winding stairway. The ci ing of children, the profane wran ling of men, with the shrill voie of women, pleading, complaining, cursing, made the place'seem like very pandemonium. Up, they went to the at?c of tl house, where were two large, rong ly finished rooms, each of which w lighted by windows reaching to tl floor, and through which the war rays of the sun sometimes found the way. The room into which M Bryant was ushered contained on the most indispensable articles ? furniture, but it was clean as it cou be made-with the means at commam "I am sorry, but I guess moth< has gone out. I-will ask Dan Spooner ; she will know ; and, mi ter, I hope she will let you go int her room. She is real good, and sh says she use<J to go to Sunday-scho< when shV lived with her m?the She ts awful poor, "but she help everybody. Mother and I couldu live without her." Dame Spooner, as she was callee was willing to see the gentleman, wh found her engaged in making patel work for quilts and comforters. "My neighbor and I work togetl er," she said, after they had mad some progress towards acquaintance "She does what must be done outside and then we go from one room t another to catch the warmth of th sun. Mrs. Lear would be thankful ti see you ; but our patches are mos used up, and it was the day for he rounds. Hamlet goes with her, ant gets more than she does ; but he wai wild this morning to save her dress Lear never conies here unless h< thinks" there is something he can ge to buv liauor. with : and I wish h< could be shut up the rest of his life.' Some remarks on the part of thc visitor^ elicited the information thal Mrs. Lear and her boy collected rags which were carefully assorted ; suet as could be made of use were saved, while the refuse was sold or exchaug ed for more available material. "It is a very poor way of getting a living, but it is honest ; and the won>an who sel?3 the quilts and com? forters makes enough to keep h erse! J and her children. When ? have new patches 1 like it ; but poor folks should make the best of what they can get, and not complain because it isn't better. I have been worse ofi than 1 am now^r, and the thought cf that ?makes ~me thankful for what I have. "When Hasstet went to., Sunday school, $~?ovo$?fr on it. The two Sundays was a deal to me. It made me remember what 1 learned when I was a girl. And it has been com? pany for me ever since." Mr. Bryant forbade to ask how such a woman had been brought to such poverty, yet before he left the story was told. "It was the drink that did il ; and, sir, if you are a Christian, hoping for heaven, you'll do what you can LO shut up the liquor-dens. Why, sir, if 1 was one of the Christians, with the prayers they talk about to help me, I wouldn't mind cold, nor heat, nor hunger, so asl could preach and pray against the cursed liquor. Por the love of God., do help !" This appeal was not lost urJbn him to whom it was made. Ile real? ised the cursc-of the liquor traffic as he had usver, realized"it before ; yet later another revelation was made to him which intensified his hatred of it. "The mystery of the second-hand clothing-room is solved," said the policeman who had aid'-d him in his morning's work. "The garments which, considering their quality, are sold at exhorbitant prices have been purchased at half their actual value with liquor vile enough to kill the drinker while he is swallowing it. Selling liquor is a business will) a good many turnings in it." "It is a system of robbery au<l murder from first to last," was re? plied. "I wouldn't have believed that human, beings could live in such wretched places as I have seeu this Morning." "One half the world knows nothing of how the other half live." Ac? knowledging this to be true, and thankful for the measure of financial success he had achieved, Mr. Bryant j resolved to lead a more active Chris- j tian life, having regard for others j rather than for himself.r His first thought was for those he j had seen in their attie homes, and j lhe3T were at once provided with bot- j ter work, which enabled them to hire j comfortable room? and clothe them- i selves respectably. The recreant husband and father, ? too, was remembered ; but before his j sentence of confinement had expired I he died of disease induced by his ? drinking habits, and there was no more to fear from him. So.one family was rescued from j poverty ; one b(>y was saved ; the ; last days of one lone woman were j brightened by hopes of a still bl igh- ! ??er future. Yet compared with what remains to be done it was but a drop to the ocean, a grain of saud to thc j ?ver shifting shore. -. Reader, in closing, I ran only rc- j seat Dame Spooler's appeal : "If i rou are a Christian, hoping f?>r j leaven, you will do what you eau j LO shut up the liquor dens. For the j '?ve of (jod do help."-National j Temperance Advocate ! Intensive Farming, Mr. J. B. Hunnicut, io the Newman, Ga., Advertiser says : - Having received many letters of in? quiry, bow to raise corn on the intensive system, I have concluded to answer through your column?, if you think the matter of sufficient interest to give it space. I know you are ready to pub? lish any plan which will help the farm? ers. Fplant double rows because I cannot get stalks enough on an acre by any other plan and still have ventilation. 1. Lay off rows six feet apart, sub? soiling each row, and put in compost pretty heavy, say 500 pounds per acre. 2. Bed on this, subsoiling each fur? row. 3. Lay off rows 18 inches apart on either side of the composted furrow and put 150 pounds per acre of good stand? ard guano or phosphate, just as for cot? ton, and drop corn 18 to 24 inches apart in each row and cover lightly. 4. When the corn is well up run one furrow, with a very long narrow plow between the narrow rows and follow with hoes. This completes first work? ing. 5. Ten days later run the same plow in the same furrow again, and run a 2\ inch scooter around on the other side of the command follow with hoes. This completes second working. 6. Ten days later run around the in? side rows with a larger plow, throwing fresh earth to the corn, and in this fur? row pat 500 pounds per acre of com? post and plow out middle with scrape or sweep, and follow with hoes. This completes third working. 7. -Ten days later take a large shovel plow and put 150 pounds per acre of guano in this furrow and run around that furrow with broad scrapes (so shal low.as not to cut many roots) until you get as near the corn as you wish. This completes tho fourth plowing, and lays the crop by with a slight raise in the middle of the wide row, and a slight depression- toward each corn row. Now let us see what we have done. The corn has been cultivated with ll furrows to six feet rows, and three or four hoeings, each very light, but very essential. And, as to cost, we have cultivated much cheaper than the usual plan requires. We have invested about ?10 per acre in fertilizing and ?4 in work, thus : First manuring, 500 pounds compost...$ 2.50 Second manuring, 150 pounds guano... 2.50 Third manuring, 500 pounds compost... 2.50 Fourth manuring, 150 pounds guano... 2.50 Total mannring.$ 10.00 Labor distributing manure. 1.00 Labor in hoeing. 75 Labor in plowing........ 2.50 Total cost of laoor per acre.$4.00 Total cost per .xre.$14.00 What return do we get for this heavy investment of ?14.0J per acre-more perhaps, than, the land was worth ? With three dry summers seven, nine aod eleven weeks drought respectively, the writer gathered between fortv and fifty bushels of good heavy corn per acre. Take the lowest figure, forty bushels per acre, and the cost will be 35 cents per bushels. If you make 50 bushels the cost will be only 28 cents. If the season should be favorable and you make 60 bushels per acre, then the cost is reduced to only 22J cents. But you have a very heavy crop of fodder and your hand is doubled in value ; every acre thus treated is worth ?2 to ?1 before and will continue so for years. My experience is that this is the cheapest plan for raising corn on up? land, the best plan for manuring poor land, less liable to suffer from drought and the only way to compete with wes? tern corn. We must get out of the old ruts or we cau't keep up with the wes? tern wagon. All I ask of any man is to give this plan a fair trial before condemning it. Do not let your prejudice against dou? ble rowed corn prevent you from filling your crib with the cheapest corn you ever raised. Do not be afraid of every new idea, but "prove all things, and hold fast to that which is best. 'Cheap bread' must be the foundation of all real substantial prosperity in any and every agricultural community. Kow to Visit a Printing Office.
