Ho! you little sailor,
Ht. Quickly get aboard ;
| Snowy sails are hoisted,
- Now the shipTs unmoored !
Lo! the craft is rocking,
Yon the port so grand :
Land of radiant visions"
Slumberland !
' Mother is the captain,
Baby is the mate ;
Drowsy eyes are closing,
For they cannot wait.
Oh ! the sights and treasures
On that golden strand !
Sail we to the haven"
Slumberland !
Gems of rarest beauty,
All for baby dear ;
Set the watch, and safely
To the land we steer,
Rocked by gentle breezes,
Ever sweet and bland ;
Oh! the blissful harbor"
Slumberland !
Stars above are twinkling,
But they soon will fade ;
Dawn will soon be blushing
Over vale and glade
Ho ? you little sailor,
Then you'll leave the strand,
Sailing back trom yonder

The Aurora presents one farmer
whe started with nothing except will-
made by farming alone in fifteen years
$15,000 or $1,000 each year on an av
erage. His valuable lands and the
tax lists show this is a true statement.
Two weeks ago Leander 8. Ham-
rick sold forty bales of cotton aud made
last year forty bales, including .eight
bales of rent cotton. He is free from
debt although he has bought $15,000
worth of land since lie ~began farming
15 years ago near Shelby.

for eight cents per pound ; C. C. Ham-
rick making twenty bales and LS.
Hamrick torty bales total. Such. farm-
ers never complain of hard times aid
never try to run the finances.
For some of their lands near Shel-
by they have paid big prices; each
year they spend less than they make
and add to their possessions by hard
work and economy. They are not al-
ways buying goods or discussing poli-
tics and they vote~the Democratic
ticket. These young men are model
farmers who will soon be rich, for the
first $5,000 is always hardest to make
and save."Shelby Aurora.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
"St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota,
is worth $124,408,205, and owes $8,442,-
100.
"A dog owned by a man in Addison,
Mich., walked back home a distance of
40 miles recently. Its owner gave it
away, but the dog didnTt like its new
home, and quietly trotted back to its
old kennel.
A stick of timber 119 feet long and
22. inches square, without a knot or
~blemish, was cut in a mill at Hoquiara,
*Wash., recently. It is the longest piece
of timber ever cut in that neighbor-
hood, and the most nearly perfect any
of the old lumbermen there has ever
seen.
"One of the buildings at the Tennes-
see centennial exposition will be erect-
ed entirely with money provided by the
children of the state. Everything in it
and around it will be arranged for tie
pleasure and profit of children. In the
tower will swing a fine set of silver
chimes.
"When Kentucky does draw the line
on whisky it is drawn tight. A young
man in Crittenden county was held re-
cently to answer in the circuit court on
a charge of giving liquor to a minor, be-
cause he gave«a glass of eggnog to hiv
sweetheart. Somebody, maybe a re-
jected suitor, saw the occurrence and
| reported it to the local authorities.
"Seven brothers, all over 65 years
old, had a reunion in Fresno, Cal., re-
cently, and a notable photographic
~| group is an interesting memento of the].
~occasion. The brothers are of the
-Funck family. There are three sisters
~in the family, too, all very near the
three-score and tev years mark. The
eldest of the brothers is 84 and the
youngest. 65. A noticeable fact is that
each wears a long white beard and none
is bald. °
"*~The underground railroad� was a
secret arrangement, legally a con-
spiracy, by which fugitive slaves were
concealed and sent secretly from place
to place in Canada, which, being a
British colony, was a safe place for
them. It extended all over the north.
Covington, Ky., was a principal sta-
tion, and there were othér stations all
through Ohio and Indiana. ~Levi Coffin,
cf Cleveland, was the président mote
than 30 years. ;
"One of the many natural wonders
of ArizonaT scenery just, made: acces-
sible by the opening up of newT rail
and stage roads isa remarkable natural
bridge in the Tonto Basin, not far from
Flagstaff. The bridge is 550 feet long
.and spans a canyon some 200 feet deep,
at the bottom of which flows the river.
The bridge is of rock, and is perfectly
proportioned. The under side is grace
fully arched and the upper perfectly
level. The walls of the canyon are
honeycombed with caves, in which is
& great profnsion of s tites and
stalagmites,
The OratorTs Inspiration.
Our orator gazes with far-searching
eye. He is the poet in prose, the mu-
sician who plays on men, the painter,
in words, of thoughts, sentiments, pas-
sions, ideas, His colors live and burn,
for they are drawn from menTs hearts.
To him the glory that beckons on from
height to height and then again on and
on till the eye wearies, is the ideal"
that which mew pray for, struggle-tor,
travail for, yet neyer grasp; but are
the nobler for having aspired to. As
the eye follows hill after hill that the
falling sun gilds, and then rests un-
rested because the gold has turned to
black, so the orator must follow bard
after the ideal even till the night
cometh. For~ him the breath of the pine
is wine, and the strength of the forest
makes & i ~his heart, The broad,
clear ranges of den his mind,
the pure azure clarifies his vision, and
the distant rim of earth snd sky makes
far-sighted and keen the eyes of his
soul."William F, Seward, in New
Bohemian.

Crowing Chickens. "
An old lady in Greensboro, remark-

~the degeneracy of the same, says that.
in old times chickens never crowed in
the night except about Christmas and
now the pesky things crow any tfme.
That seems to be about the way of it
