I Wandered by the Brook-Side.
I wandered by. the brook -tide,
I wandered by tho mill ;
I could not hear the brook flow.
The noisy wheel was still ;
There was no burr of grasshopper,
Nor chirp of any bird ;
Dut tho beating of my own heart
Was all tho sound I heard.
I cnt beneath the ctm-treo;
I watched the long, long shade,
And, as It grew still longer,
I 'did not feel afraid;
For I listened for a loot-fall.
I listened for a word
But the beating of my own heart
Was all tho sound I heard.
Ho cr.mo not no, he came not
Thu night came on alone;
The little stars sat, one by one.
Each on his golden throne;
Tho evening air passed by my checks,
The leaves above were stirred
Hut the beating of my own heart
Was all tho sound I heard.
Fast, silent tears were flowing.
When something stood behind
A hand was on my shonlder,
I know Its touch was kind ;
Jt drew mo nearor, nearer
We did not speak one-word.
For the beating of our own hearts
Was all the sound we heard.
. Jersey Red Swine.
Western Rural.
A uumber of inquiries have come to
hand lately about the above breed of
hogs, and wo have given such infor
mation as wo were in possession of.
In a second number of the Indiana
Fanner there appeared a communica
tion evidently from the pen of a friend
of this breed, and although this fact
may have colored somewhat hiSBtate
ments, we give some portions of his
article as giving information which
Borne of our readers desire to obtain.
He says these hogs have been raised
In Southern Now Jersey for fifty years
and that the Jersey Red is not the
Spanish Red, nor the Red Berkshire
both of which, In their purity, are
hardy, healthy, good hogs. lie goes
on to eay : 'The Spanish Red hog
was introduced into this country hy
tho Hon. James B. Clay, Consul to
Madrid. He sent some to Cassius M.
Clay, who distributed the herd
throughout Kentucky. It Is the sumo
hog which is found so plentiful in
Mexico, introduced thereby the Span
iards. It owes Its hardiness, no doubt,
to tho fact that the law of the 'survi
val of the fittest' has eliminated the
weak and diseased hogs, while the
strong and healthy, left to care for
themselves, have increased and mul
tiplied. Traced baok, no doubt, they
owe muoh of their excellence to the
Neapolitan bog, and the stock from
Which the Berkshire springe.
"The" Jersey Red hog Is noted for its
aealthfulneSs, its i.wm unity from dis
ease, which le.TiOjloub, attributable
to- entiniaBmatio, Bady, healthful
distrlot in which it has rown up
through many swiuo generations, in
to a distinct herd. It has been bjdu
that tho Jersey Reds never have the
cholera, but this statement is like that
other, that the negro is never affected
with yellow fever. It depends upon
whero ho is born and bred. Tho Afri
can or tropical negro, may defy yel
low jack with safety, but let not tho
northern negro attempt it. Tho pro
geny of Jersey Reds, will no doubt,
-after a while be as subject- to cholera
-as other hogs, if treated the same way.
They are valuable to secure a stock us
yet uutainted, but keep them in mud
dy, damp pens, amidst filth, garbage
and nulsanco and foetid matter, and
they will soon Bhow tho effect of it as
any sensiblo hog should. Many men
to-day raise tho pork on which they
feed their families, in places which
would drive turkey buzzards to dis
traction and hyenas to suicide. To
put a genteel hog in such a place is
like putting a thoroughbred African
barb to work in a tanyard, or to haul
ing' dead dogs to a soap factory. CesB
pools are nothing el6e but cholera
breeders, yet many a hog-rulser would
be surprised if told that he main
tained suoh nuisances on his place.
'Jersey Reds are aiso remarkable for
their docility and quietness. They
are good breeders. They do not fight,
break out of enclosures, or go'pros
peotlng on their own hook. They are
also prolific ; have often ten or twelve
pigs at a litter.
Mr. Grundy, of Kentucky, who is
really a breeder of long experience pre
fers them to Poland Chinas or Berk
shire, which he has 'raised for many
years, in large quantities and of the
finest strains, for tho good qualities
named, but more especially for their
"quick growth to largo weight. He
has raised Jersey Reds of enormous
size, euoh as have astonished stock
men about the Bourbon stock yards In
Louisville, where good hogs are not
uncommon. It is a fact that packers
atTiOuIaville have paid a bonus pf 15
to 20 cents per hundred for Jersey Red
fat hogs, on account of the superior
lard yielded of the breed.
Mr. Grundy thinks the Jersey Red
especially valuable forcroBslug on our
commoner breeds, and has proved It
in his experience. The past terrible
ravages of cholora, which in the west
. has been worse than isjreneraly sup
posed, warrant us in introducing fresh
blood in hogs as well as improved
methods of crossing for them. The
Agricultural Department informs us
that four millions of hogs died in this
country last 3'ear from cholera. Illin
ois lost one-fifth of this number, and
Indiana follows closo after. It will be
' noticed that the Atlantic States are
nearly exempt. Tho reports will prob
ably show that southern New Jersey
la entirely exempt. It seems but com
mon! sense and ordinary business pru-denco-
to- replenish our stock from
healthful and- untainted districts,
hence, wo prefer Jersey Reds just
now.
'The fineBfc pigs wehveever raised'
have been by- a cross of n Jersey Bed-
.boar, on thoroughbred Berkshire sow
andotbera-who have-seen-them have
remarked upon their unusual excel
lence. The pigs seem-to combine the
desirable qualities of both breeds, ana
in fact, as la sometimes the- case; bid
fair to excel .'either breed-In many Im
portant points, just- as the Poland
China excels eitherfcreed from which
l tttob made an.
The Jersey Reds have a heavy eoat
?gi8PB?gigelfl-Tirl'i'll"''?T? . -. i ' 'i t
of hair which protects them from
mange in Bummer and cold in Win
ter. But tho Jereoy Reds respond to
treatment as do other breeds. Feed
them irregularly, stunt them by gorg
ing one week and starving tho next ;
keep them on one kiud of food com
always on the ear feed it on the
ground or in dirty pens, and the fin
est breed of hogs in tho world will go
back to that bravo old stock which
used "to chase our ancestors through
the woods of Britain and Germany.
But tho wild boar of the Black For
est was a noble fellow compared with
many male hogs which even now are
used for breeding purposes in Indi
ana.' The Use of Sugar,
Harm haB been done by propagating
tho notion that sugar is Injurious to
the teeth, by diverting attention from
real causes of destruction and decay.
The eating of any amount of pure su
gar cannot injure the teeth directly,
because it has no residue, it is wholly
dissolved and passes into the stomach.
But let It be remembered that tho
practice of eating sugars or candies,
or any other sweet-meats largely, will
inevitably cause a disorder of the
fltomach and generate gasses there,
which will speedily undermine the
health of the teeth.
By Insisting too much on tho fact
that sugars and candies destroy the
teeth, an Impression will grow that If
these are mainly avoided, tho person
doing so will have good teeth, and
this leads tho mind away from the
necess!t3r of keeping tho mouth clean
and the stomach healthful. If these
thiugs are well done, .and the teeth
are kept plugged in a finished-style,
teeth naturally or hereditarily 'poor'
may bo kept in a good state pf preser
vation for many years.
All forms of dyspepsia have
a direct tendency to destroy the
teeth. Whatevercauses acidity of the
stomach Is ruinous to the teeth. A
tablespoonful of tho purest sirup of
loaf sugar, taken three times a Jay
before meala, will destroy the tone of
the healthiest stomach in averyshcrt
time. And when it is remembered
how many patent medicines are
made up in the form of sirups and
sweet lozengeH, and hew common the
uso of then has become, it need not
bo wondered at that every second or
third person met on tho street kuows
the meaning of sour stomach or dys
pepsia. So far from sugars and pure oandies
injuring the teeth or tho health, they
would, if uBed wisely and In modera
tion, as sole deserts, be actual preven
tives of both ; especially if alternated
as deserts, with fruits and berries in
their natural, raw, ripe, tresh, perfeot
state, by banishing from our tables
tho pestiferous pie, the leaden pud
ding, and pastries and cakes of every
na?ne, which, as desserts, always
tdinpf to excesses which lay the foun
dation, for -diseases which torture for a
lifetime, or .bring speedily to the
grave.
Let the spirit ff ?bis article be dis
tinctly understood. Pure sugars and
candies do not injure the toeth, except
indirectly, by their injudicious use in
exciting acoidity of stomach or dys
pepsia, as will any other kind or oo"?l
or drink, or beverage, if extravagant
ly used.
At seasons of tho year when fruits
and berries may not bo had, ripe,
fresh, and perfect, as desserts, sugars
and candies may be used as such in
their stead to greatlad vantage, because
they aro healthful, being warming,
nutritious, and agreeable; hence, as a
table article, they are very valuable,
while the almost universal love of
them shows that they were intended
to be eaten. If a child Is not allowed
to eat anything containing sugar it
will sicken and die in a very short
time. Children need the carbon,
the fuel, contained in sugar,
to keep them warm ; without it they
would perish from cold ; hence the
love of sweet things is an instinct,
Implanted by the kind and wise Ma
ker of us all for the child's preserva
tion. Illegitimate Births in Europe.
In Prussia, out of 1,000 births, 120
are Illegitimate; in Southern Germa
ny, 200 out of 1,000 are illegitimate.
In France, 'so frivolous and corrupt,'
the illegitimate births aro but 70 in
1,000 ; in England they are but GO ; and
in order to fully appreciate these fig
ures, one must remember that divorce
is muoh easier in German' than In
England ; whereas in France
marriage is indissoluble. France
and England, too, are richer coun
tries", and the development of wealth
by begetting a higher standard of
comfort and refinement has a tenden
cy to restrict the number of marriages.
The Austro-Hungarian Empire fur
nishes statistics of n more startling
character. Here, saya the author,
Germans claim to represent the morul
element, but figures are against them.
Taking tho Sclav provinces, one finds
that tho number of illegitimate births
in 1,000 is : For Galicia, G2 ; for Cro
atia, G3; for Dalmatia, 44; for the
"military frontier," 14. Now for the
German provincis. In Upper Austria
the proportion is 213 births to 1,000;
in Lower Austria, 305 ; in Carinthia,
45G that is to say, in Carinthia near
ly every other child is illegitimate.
A Door With the Barb of an Arrow in
his Heart.
Yesterday a great curiosity was
placed on our table a deer's heart con
taining tho flint barb of an arrow.
Last Sunday Mr. J3. Sharp, of Areata,
was out on Boynton's Prairie on a deer
hunt. He Baw alorge five-point buck,
and brought it down with his rifle.
Tuking off the hide and securing the
heart and other rare bits, he started
home. On arriving there, Mrs. Sharp
boiled the heart and when the meal
was ready placed it on the table. In
attempting to out the heart, the knife
struokugainst something hard.. The
lady sphitthe heart open, and in the
flesh part the fifnt barb of an arrow
was found. It must have been therea
long time, as the flesh was calloused
all around It, and tho scar, where the
barb entered, is plain to be seen. This
is quite a curiosity, as only a few such
Instances are known to be on record.

A HUSHING CLOUD.
The Terrible Storm Hint Struck Tcu
suukee The village of Pensaukee, at the
mouth of the Pensaukee river, on the
west shore of Green Bay, was devas
tated andpartially destroyed by a tor
nado on Saturday evening the 7th

The damage was frightful, and the
effects of the wind marvelous. It
struck tho river and drained the
stream, taking tho water up, In one

hotel built by B. F. Gardener was
partially, if not wholly destroyed.

THE
OLDEST PAPER
AND
THE BEST LOCAL PAPEE IN THE STATE !
THE ADVERTISER IS IN ITS
TAVEisrTY-SBOOisrr) yeajr.
Its history is co-equal and'eo-extensive with that of
NEMAHA COUNTY AND SOUTHERN NEBRASKA.
Its politics are
Anti-Beinocratic and Anti-Monopoly I
IN A WORD IT IS
Al
M6DGMK1 ISlIlul JIiM
Free to do right, free to approve honesty or douounce corruption, because
no political or religious ring or clique owns any part or parcel in it, and
It oweB Indorsement to no rrinn except to him who has acquired the right
to be Indorsed by discharging his duties well 'and honestly as a private citi
zen or a public official.
THE ADVERTISER believes in Free Thought, Free Schools, Free
Politics, and the broadest individual liberty, consistent with the rights of
others; and that every Individual, South, North, East and West, should be
protected in the enjoyment of those rights by the General Govomment in
obeyance to the guarantees of the National Constitution.

Tlie publishers of THE ADVERTISER labor assiduously, and with unre
mitting industry, to make it a success. Without prejudice or partiality for
or against any particular localities, they desire the welfare of all; and any
thing a newspaper can do for the advancement of the general prosperity,
THE ADVERTISER is not only willing, but anxious to do. Believing in
TOWN AND COUNTRY,
and that the prosperity of tho ono depends more or less upon tho other, we
can consistently work for tho prosperity of all.
As an evidence that we labor to give our readers an honest paper, and
the most and greatest variety of reading matter possible, we Invite attention
to the columns of our paper, and comparison as to quantity and quality, with
any other weekly In the State not made up from the matter of a daily. We
are determined to make THE ADVERTISER a paper that the people will
seek for, and receivo full value for the money invested iri it.
