All gone to the opera, kitty, but me:
We're alone in this rambling Id house,
Afmid? Not II Come sit on my knee
And tell mo yonr dreama of dog and mouse.
Do you bear the wnd? How it sobs and
grieve ;
And the rain falls down on the inrfa-grown
eaves.
Let ns turn off th gat, and fit on the rng;
How the twilight bribteoa the Ions; old room
With ita acarlet fanciest Puas, are you ar.u ;?
You know in one's youth one should never
grow gloom;
That is what niammt told ni to-day, 1
When I sighed and forgot on ahould always
be gay.
Do you see any plturef in the fire,
Kitty, my di-ar, with your tolomn eyas
Picture of river, and castle, and spii ,
Or only of m Jk. and a mome'i surprlaef
I ace, ah, pussy I eyes of brown.
And a brow that is royal enough for crown.
I aee a smile that is aweet and rtre,
A hand that is gentle, and strong, and trne;
I fee a summer-tide, fwl.t and lair
With golden sunthine and akie-i of bine.
O! what hhall I do with the long, long year?
Kitty, forgive me. Tou dou't like tears.
The firelight flicker on pictures and wall.
On bookcase, and bracket, and atatue white
Pntay, have you forgotten a ball
That happened a year ago to-night?
One little year how the se a ns br ng
Changes that only blight an 1 stingl
"orrow is sorrow to the eld.
But despair to the young," O pntsy, I've rrad.
Perhaps if these curls were gray, and not
gold,
I wouldn't wish to-night I were dead.
Not twenty yet, and all love o'er,
O pussy, pussy, forevermorei
There I There! my kitty, no more tears
Let's have a romp in the firelight's glow; -
Other heart have beat on through the years
When Love and Faith were lying low;
Mayhap in soothing unother'a pain
We forget our own. Just bear the rain I
But to-morrow, I doubt not, the aun will
fhine,
And the cloud be only a dream of night. "
Why should we cherish a woe divine?
Let iii hi le it away f om the san ar.d li.'ht. .
Forgetting one's self is hard, 1 fe t,
But we'll each try biavely, kitty, ray dear.
Let us aay "Good-by" to t c dreams of the
past.
And kitty, my comfort, never you tell
Of ibe chat that has m de these hour 11 fast.
One more ran O theie is the belli

durance than the other members of
the great human family, but Tim IIus
sey swears by the bones of St. Patrick
and every Milesian saint, past, present
and future, that the "infernal nagur"
is impervious to smoke. For some
time past Tim has contested the right
of occupancy of a small shanty on Lee
street with an ebony-hued matron
named Julia Francis. Like his ances
tors in Ireland, Mr. Ilussey is fond of
the law, and be appealed t tin courts
for his "roighU," as he termed them.
The point at issue was a knotty one
and the sapient Judge eu the bench
was iu a quandary how to act. Tim
swore positively that every "board iu
the Ilussey -mansion was iudia j. utubly
his, while the lady, with becoming
modetsy, told the Judge that Tim was
an unmitigated liar, and that the edi
fice was the result of her dear depart
ed's labors, tnd belonged unqestion
ably to his relief. Ireland produced
his wituesses, and Africa stoutly main
tained her position by the . production
of an equal number of hard swearers
to those produced by the other side.
The Judge, like many otiiers in the
land, when unable to arrive at any de
finite conclusion from the testimony,
decided to reserve his decision in hopes
that something would turn up to help
him out of the dilKeulty. This result,
as is invariably 'the case, displeased
all parties. Tim, however, with genu
ine Melidean ingenuity, was equal to
emergency. Marching boldly to the
coveted spot, he quietly took posses
sion of the shanty, and barricaded the
door against all intruders. A few
hours later, the enemy made their ap
pearance, headed by the indomitable
Julia. Their disgust can be imagined
wiien they found Tim iu possession,
aud grinning through the one window
the shanty possessed, the picture of
happiness and content at the success
of his maneuver. Upon discovering
the state oi anairs, Julias party re
tired to await events, but with the
wisdom of a Iloadicea, the lady posted
pickets around the disputed fortress,
and completely invested tiie velorous
Tim.
For a time everything went well
with tho besieged. The news of the
conflict had traveled far and wide, and
excited Deadwooders crowded from all
parts to see the fun. No attempt was
made to interfere, although bets were
freely offered and taken as to which
of the two forces would be ultimately
successful. Julia soon became the fa
vorite, at long odds, when it was as
certained the valorous Tim had thrown
himself into the fortress without tak
ing the precaution of providing a stock
of provisions t withstand a long siegt.
A few hours passed, and there were
unmistakably rigns that something
was wrong with the garrison. Tim
was continually beckonirg to friends
in the crowd to come to the windows,
but with a magnanimity that did them
, credit they refused to abandon the
neutral position they had assumed
from the start. At last Tim could
stand it no longer, and chalking the
words "I am hungry on a board, lis
held the board in full view of the
spectators. Thi3 argument proved too
powerful to be resisted, and two of
Tim's friends, ignoring the protesta
tions of Julia's videttes, advanced to
the relief of the bleagueied forces.
Tim's demands were few and simple,
lie gave his friends a silver half dol
lar, and urged them in piteous accents
to hurry back with as many crackers
and as large an amount of cheese as
they could purchase for the money.
They started, but, unfortunately for
Tim, called iu on their way to the
store at a saloon where a game of
"freeze-outj' was iu progress, and in a
few moments Tim's half dollar went
the way of many otiiers. He waited
long and anxiously, but the supplies
failed to arrive. Ou the following
morning the spectators were early on
hand, and business in Dead wood seem
ed almost suspended. Tim was early
at the window and seemed to be suffer
ing intensely was ravenous. He urg
ed his friends to come to his relief,
bus no one budged an inch. At last,
becoming desperate, he determined to
make a sail', and, carefully locking
the ioor, he rushed wildly fottli in
search of supplies.
This was Julia's opportunity. Tier
friends crowded around her, two team
sters and four horses were hastily im
pressed intu her service, and in a twink
ling the ebony-colored female was
hoisted through the window, and prep
arations immediately made to remove
the shanty to Sherman street, to a lot
owned by Mrs. Francis. .While the col
ored brigade was at work Mr. Ilussey
returned, and swore and stamped like
a madman on "taking in" the situation.
It was Julia's turn now to look through
the window, and Tim was compelled
to endure the mortification of witness
ing his hated rival in possession, and
adding insult to injury by extending
her fingers in such a position that her
most prominent facial adornment re
ceived au addition that was certainly
not originally intended by nature. The
crowd roared, and Tim was furious.
The air became perfectly blue, but the
lady kei t her fingers extended, and her
mouth threatened to absorb her entire
face. At length Tim espied a lot of
pitch pine shavings lying near. Here
was an opportunity. Seizing these, he
plied them around the door and set Ore
to them. The smoke soon filled every
nook and cranny of the .little house,
but Julia was equal to the emergency.
Throwing herself upon the ground she
yelled to Tim to keep up his smoke,
for "it pleased him and didn't hurt
her." "Her voice was plainly heard
above the laughter and cheers of the
spectators as she hurled the choicest
epithets ia the colored vocabulary at
the devoted head of the gallant son of
the Emerald Isle, who was cvughing
aud sneeziug and wiping his eyes on
the ut8ide. The situation proved too
much for him. Realizing the fact that
Julia had conquered, he gave up the
contest in despair and retired, bitterly
exclaiming: "liegorra, I'd rather at
tempt to smoke out a dozen Irishmen
than one blasted nagur!"
The victorious Julia was greeted
with a rousing cheer as she appeared
at the door when the burning shavings
had been kicked aside, and to-day the
shauty Mtands securely on the Francis
lot in Sherman street. The prevailing
feeling in the Ilussey family just now
is that "the nagtirs must go."

Aoout eigne miles irom iiosita, a
camp long Known co me mining an

camp has been established whicli be
gins already to attiact great attention ;
it is called the Silver Cliff. Near it is
another, rich in mineral, called Round
Top Mountain. Enormous "blow-outs
have been discovered iu both places,
and a great rush has set iu from all di
rections. The "blow-out" is neither a
fissure nor a gash vein, but has the ap
pearance of a great mound of burned
ashes. These "ashes" contain a large
percentage of.horn silver. Carefully
assorted ore from either f these mines
yields as high as 2,000 ouncts of silver
to the ton, and runs, in most instances.
from $50 to $350 to the ton. One mine,
the Cliff Lde, was sold for 3100,000
shortly after its discovery. There is
thought t be $8,000,000 or $10,000,000
in sight in the various mines in this
vicinity, and the work of development
continues.

All very well. I have talked to sever
al of my neighbors about it aud find
the general opinion is that it will have
to be built with money raised by sub
scription just as wfe did the Eight mile
grove Baptist church and eventually
end as the church matter did, viz: by
litigation, and the surplus funds, if
any there is, be usd to build a wind
mill and barn. If the people could see
an honest intention and also see that
it would better their condition, and
the stockholders and general mana
gers all strictly honest men then we
think it might do, but we must be sat

A Musical Phenomenon.
Atlanta Constitution.
A reporter recently obscrviug quite
I crowd gathered about a negro boy in
tc car-shed, approached and inquired
the cause of the excitement. Hedis
lovered that the boy was a musical
prodigy on a very unique scalo. By
placing his right hand over his right
ear, nnd partially opening his month,
this boy gave the exact imitation of
the musical tones of the Scottish bag
pipe, playing many airs with perfect
accuracy. The music seemed to como
from i lie boy's head, and many peopld
were attracted to the spot, thinkincr
Jiat the bag-pipes were giving forth
their rich, mild melody. The boy was
very accommodating, and played many
airs, gliding with case from the gay to
tho grave For instance, he played
"Dixie" with great spirit and rapid
ity, and then, in tho slowest and most
mournful cadences, gavo "Streams of
Mercy Never Ceasing." His name is
Alonzo Barnes, and he hails from
Eastham. He is only 18 years cf ngc,
and says that he found out by accident,
about "three years ago, that his head
was full of bag-pi pes, and has been

said thatTie could play any tuno t; at
was whistled, whereupon some one In
the crowd suggested that he give some
thing from "Pinafore." He had never
heard of the piece, he said, but called
upon man after man in the group to
whist lo it for him. but not one seemed
equal to the task. All admitted that
they had once heard it, but so long
ago that it was difficult to recall. The
boy holds nothing at all in his month,
but simply places his right hand over
his right ear, and, without the slight
est effort, starts his bag-pipes tho
Lord only knows how, the boy can't
explain it. He is a living wonder,
and would- be a feature upon any
stage.
Keeping the Boys on the Farm.
Iu an extended argument as to the
desirability of farmers' sons sticking
to the farm, the Cincinnati Commer
cial observes that there is a feature in
this matter of sons following the call
ing of their fathers that is not mi in
dent ly regarded.
"The calling of the father may riso
to a higher dignity when tho tons
adopt the business, thoroughly leant
it, and zealously and proudly pursue
it. Then the accumulated reputation,
capital, and business of the parent can
I e inherited and xu'csenred by . tho
sons.
"Again, it is a law of nature that
hclds good in all the animal kingdom,
that aptness for any business maybe
inherited, or may bo bred, as we say
of stock. Tho great desideratum in
t'r , loping a race of trotters is to in
sure an aptness to trot. And this
comes not from stock that has habit
ually been used for the draught or
chase or race course. If the dam trots
and the sire trots we do not expect
the offspring to be a running horwj.
"The old Spartans understood this
law of developing an aptness for a
given calling in the children. Tho
Germans of olden times developed a
race of warriors on the same principle.
"The law of heredity is so broad and
so powerful in its influence that it ex
tends not only to color and form ofj
our race, but it extends to the temper
ament and even to tho tastes. Tho
taste,' though like the muscle and reas
oning faculties, may be improved by
education. Still the taste for and apt
ness for any calling may be increased
from generation to generation.
"Then, if we are to reach the high
est development as a race of farmers,
we must expect it through the line
of descent. The son must inherit the
fitness of the father, and take up tho
calling and business where he left off,
and his son after him, and so on.
When this shall become the custom in
our farming families, then shall wo
see greater stability in society rnda
higher type of civilization. Every
parent has the chief power to bring
this work about. The very independ
ence of the farmer's life is to be tho
germ which develops a race that can
not be other than an independent peo
ple. Our nation is to achieve its great
ness iu the development of agriculture.
Its power at home and abroad is to be
established and held through the arts
of husbandry, practiced by a skillful
and virtuous race of farmers. All that
can be done by the state or family to
ennoble nnd to dignify tho calling, and
to entail its blessings and influence
from father to son, will add to tha
stability and grandeur of the nation.'
