THE FARMER'S CPILD.
Into the meadow to load hl hay.
At early morn rode Farmer Grey;
His little girl, hi knee astride.
Had elamoered us to claim a ride.
The farmer trotted bft on hla k nee.
She c'apped her nands in cbtldUb glee.
And (tally beat her Isncied steed
To urge him on to greater speed.
The san peeped ont from the sheets of the sky
And over the field sent the flash of hia eye,
Around the tcene a balo wm thrown.
As over the meadow the sunbeams shone.
-ee. pap the little ma'.aen aia,
Hn UtlhSiinllftlil hllbed." .
But brjuht was tbe day when tbe farmer lode
into tne meaaow ms nay to ioaa.
Tbe farmer worked with a wiling heart.
And p'ed the new hty upon the cart;
He bade his ch'H play in tbe rear.
While she. without a thought or fear,
Net knowing of tbe danger near,
8uxped dew a t j pluck a clOTer spear.
Tle horea were anxious t depsrt
They made a sudden onward start;
Ana over tbe t ny figure bent
T ie heavy whet-Is of tbe waron went
With a dull thud and sickening sound
1 hat seemed to sbake the very around.
Aid made tbe fa mrt's bead swim round,
M bo. rlrtein(r to bis drl n;'a fide.
In -one of deepest anguish cr ed,
Oh. God! le k lied my only cnlld.'"
And moaned aloud in accents wild.
Cloat-d were (he beautiful eyes of blue.
Dumb wtre tbe lips of ashen hue;
Lite waa no more but death instead,
Tbe grass where lay the bletding htad
Was mined wl.h blood a crimson red;
And ever since that fatal day.
Though green as'ever grows the hay
It looks blood red to Farmer Orey.
Ota, dark was the day when the farmer rode
Homeward with bis heavy load.
When tbe sun went down behiBd the hills;
Rrfl joting on life's various ills,
Tbe last he saw was a sweet white face.
And curiy head in its usual place.
He said, as be too a farewell peep.
The tiied child has soon fallen to sleep."
' A SMALL DISCUSSION.
"A most admirable man," I said. I
was talking to Tom. Tom is my brother.
'Earliest and honest and zealous in all
good works. Very modest and unas
suming, his right hand is not kept in
formed of bis left hand's doing; but he
is more truly and thoroughly a humani
tarian than thousands who make greater
pretensions to the name."
"I thought he was a Presbyterian,"
replied Ton.
Tom is sometimes exasperating, rather
disposed, to c-ilicise, and not greatly
given to enthusiasm over the perfections
of man or woman. I hav a little weak
ness iu time direction, and am like every
one with a specially weak point, very
sensitive thereupon.
"Seems to me your remark is rather
more irrelevant than vour remarks usu
ally are. I believe he is a Presbyterian;
but jut-t what that has to do with what I
said I fail to f-ee. I presume, you
are not disposed to dispute the excel
lencies of many who are."
"Not -at all; only you said ho was a
humanitarian, and I had always sup
posed he was strictly orthodox."
"Tom," I said, "I am patient and.
long-suffering, owing to a long acquaint
ance and companionship with you; . but
I confess that you are growing intoler
able. Will you tell me just what there
is to prevent this gentleman from being
orthodox and beiDg a humanitarian at
the same time?"
"Will you be so kind as to tell me the
meaning of the term 'humanitarian?' "
"Certainly. I understand humanita
rian to mean - -"
"I don't ask what you understand it to
mean; 1 ask what it means."
"Well, then, it means one deroted to
the interests of mankind; uplifting, de
fending, developing, helping in all
. ways all such as need help or protection
. either for sool or boay. J.t is synono-
mous with philanthropy, though, per
hips, generally used in a more limited
atensfl. One may "
"Never mind, all that sounds well.but
it is open to the small objection that it
isn't at all true. Humanitarian means
no such thing."
"Indeed, it does.
"Indeed, it does not. There is but one
way to settle, the matter. You and I
share the family poeitiveness. Look at
the dictionary that's one authority you
acknowledge. Come, get tbe book; or
stuy, I'll get it for you. And he opened
the volume and then leaned back in his
chair till I could find the word.
There was something so confident and
assured in his manner that I began to
have misgivings. The way he looked at
me as my ye ran down the page was a
curious mixture of amusement and tri
umph which he illy concealed. The way
he trifled with the magazine in his hand
wss vexatious. I found it. I then
paused.
"Well, sister, what does Webster say
about it? Let's see; Humanitarian: One
who holds that Christ was merely a :
man.
"Now." said Tom, "it is not necessary
to explain to a person of your penotra
tion and acumen just wky i was sur
prised at hearing you call the good
Presbyterian brother a humanitarian, is
it?"
"It makes littl difference," I said im
' pulsively'the word is used in the sense
in which I used it nine times out of ten
and no one dissents from' it. I've heard
it in the pulpit, in the school, in lectures
in the papers, everywhere.
"So have I. I've heard all that, and
the fact remains that the dictionary war
rants no such use of it. If those who so
apply the word knew jast the dictionary
signification tney would, be mm ply nor
rifled." replied Tom.
"Custom regulates these things in a
Treat measure. Its the height of pedantry
and hjpercriticism to quarrel with ac
cepted usage, bee here, and I picked
no a newspaper. . "There hasn't been a
single case of crankism since Guiteau
dropped from the scaffold. Humani
tarians will please put this fact in their
pipes and pun away. V hat do you think
of that?"
"I think they have used the word with
out the slightest warrant for it except
as custom gives, and enstom as you
know, my dear sister, sanctions a great
many errors. I haven't personally the
slightest objection to the common use of
the word, not the smallest; ana I under
stand how it has grown to have its pres
ent signification. Good sense warrants
its use, and when I make a dictionary I
think I'll give the word a broader mean
ing; but until I do, why I shall stand by
the flag, so to speak."
"After all, Tom. I think your object is
not so much devotion to exactness as it is
to see how people will fall into the trap
you set."
"Partly right. . It is rather interesting
to discover how widespread an error is,
and then I take up my dictionary for
study and recreation, as I do sometimes
you might not think so. I stand aghast
at the sins against it which we every day
commit. And, then again, I find much
to admire, and its an interesting thing to
study viie etymology of words. Isn't it
DOW?"
"I admit that, of course.but after all I
find it rather tiresome, this everlasting
endeavor to be exact. -1 don't believe in'
making life a burden over a few words
here and there. To my mind there is
nothing more disagreeable than a man or
woman with a craze on the subject. Next
to the mnn with a conundrum is tbe man
who oosaes up with, 'what does this
mean, or how do you spell that, or what
is tho etymology of such a word?' A few
years ago I was a member of a club for
mutual improvement and such, and I re
member distinctly one evening the work
and historv of Praxiteles, the sculptor,
were under discussion,but the only thing
I remember of all that evening s study
Wras tho difference of opinion in regard to
th nrnnnnciation of the name, some
arguing that it should be Praxiteles,
others that the only reasonable, proper,
or to be countenanced pronunciation
was Praxeteles. They consulted all the
authorities, compared notes, and tho ma
jority finally decided that the accent
should fall upon the penultimate, and
that lo well educated or right-minded
person would think of plaoing it else
where, ard not long after I picked up a
poem by W. W. Story, the greatly
gifted, and lo, with the assurance of
genius which is greater than the wisdom
of the book, he says:
And strangers when we sleep in peaca
t-ha.ll say not quite unmoved,
80 smiled upon Praxiteles.
The f hryne that bo loved.'
"Accent on the antepenultimate, eh?"
said Tom.
"Yes, Bir, in the face of all the deci
sions of the members oft the 'Club for
Mutual Improvement,' too."
"All right, but it would have spoiled
the measure had he been correct, and we
grant something to poetio license. All
the same, I presume there is a right way
to pronounce the namo,though what it is
I don't know."
"Certainly, but it's not a life and
death matter which that way is, and
there aie many things more important to
attend to in life than hunting up author
ities upon the name of a man who lived
and died hundreds of years ago. Not
long'ago there was an article going tbe
rounds of the papers which had in itself
no special interest, but was composed of
all the words upon whose pronunciation
the majority of people stumbled. It is
stated that not one well-educated person
in a hundred could rend it through, pro
nouncing every word correctlv, that is.
according to the dictionary. Everywhere
I went among my friends for a blessed
month that ridiculous paper was pre
sented to me, till I felt like inquiring
before I made a call or received ou6 if it
was hidden away in the caller's or host's
pockets. I think I'd be tempted to mur
der any one who should so much as al
lude to it no."
Tom rummaged in his vest pocket,
pulled ont sundry well-worn scraps of !
poetry, and finally the same "test of
scholarship" came to light. "Here it
is." he said, "and I'll get von u box of
glove&or a 'crushed strawberry' bonnet
if you'll read it through as you ought
as becomes a disciple of Webster and a
disseminator of 'sweetness and light in
the shape of prose and verse amongst
an admiring public.
For reply I gave him what was intend
ed to be a withering look, but which,
from the serene and undisturbed expres
sion of his face, evidently filed of its
intention. "Besides." I coutinued. "it's
harrowing to the soul, this dreadful
possibility that you are making a mis
take, the iear that some word, in the
meaning and pronunciation of which
your faith was as the mountains, may
have changed its signification and sound
since morning. It causes me to hesitate
and stammer, and, in all probability, to
decide upon the wrong. I had always
thought myself a good speller, but when
the late spelling craze swept over the
land I found myself actually hesitating
over the orthography of words that had
never been misspelled by me in my life,
and I did manage .to make some blun
ders, too provoked to it by the silly
agitation.
"All of which." said the immutable
Tom. "is not the least to the point. If I
remember rightly the subject under dis
cu8sio.ii. if I may use so large a term for
so small an affair, was the dehnition of
a certain word, whereupon with charm
ing inconsequence you ramble off into a
tirade against authority in pronuncia
tion and spelling, and the like. I sim
ply wish to impress upon your mind the
fact there is a vast amount of careless
nessintbeuee of words, but while we
are upon the subject I will say," and
Tom assumed a look: of superior wis
dom, "that our language is a marvel
ous one. So rich, so full, so strong!
Capable of expressing not only the sin
gle simple thought,, but also by itasyno
nyms giving the most delicate and finest
shades of meaning and suggestion. Its
etymology makes its study extremely in
teresling, for it shows us the sources of
its wealth: shows us that the blood of
all speech flows in ours. It is a wonder
ful instrument, a mighty machine, to
gain control of which it is well worth
our while to strive."
"Very edifying indeed, Tom, your
remarks: don't you feel exhausted?"
"Somewhat, but I have sufficient vital
ity left to say that in spite of your pain
ful lack of interest in so vital a subject,
I dare venture to affirm that when you
meet your friend. Mrs. G.. you will
straightway ask her what humanitarian
means.
And I did.
Fishing 'ear Xevr York.
crowd loaded with lunch baskets, re
turning with the party well sunburned
and usually sea sick, with more or less
porgies. toad fish and sen 1 pins and an
occasional weakfWh or other game. The
Lonz island railroad takes the angler to
Great South Bay, where the fishing is
often excellent, and now promises to be
better since war on the illegal netters
has been declared. .
In the brakish waters of New York and
Newark bays and the Kills, small bas3,
weakfish, white percb, blaokfish, floun
ders, sea bass and eels are taken both
from boats and off the bridges. This
kind of fishing is not as good as former
ly, on account of the pollution of the
waters by the refuse produots of petro
leum whicn are dumped into them, and
which have banished the lobsters and
disgusted the crabs, so that all which
cared to live cleanly have left for mote
savory spots. Still in Newark Bay there
is often good fishing, especially behind
the lighthouse at Bergen Point, and off
the long bridge from the Point to Eliza
bethport. Near the junction of the Pas
saic and Hackensack rivers small striped
bass are taken, and np these rivers are
found catfish and eels in abundanoe for
such as care to take them. Further up
the Passaic some black bass are found,
after Paterson is passed, the best grounds
lying between Two Bridges and Little
Falls.
With this variety all who love to fish,
whether the scientific angler or humble
brother of the hard line and worm, can
surely find sport suited to their tastes
and the purses, ancTfish of all sizes, from
the ponderous drum to the little sunfish,
and from the royal striped bass to the
slimy eel and the groveling catfish. If
we have omitted the Hudson river in our
list of good fishing places, it is because
there is no fishing worth the name in it
near the city. The Hudson seems to be
the poorest angling river in the United
States. It still produes shad eels, and a
few insignificant fishes, but nothing that
the angler cares for at least in any
quantity. Even the sturgeon, which
were once bo plenty, have nearly dis
appeared. Forest and Stream.
Some newspapers say dyspetic things
because the president has planued a bit
of an excursion for himself, and Hal-
stead chirrups to him : General Gran
did the con u try a service by knocking
about while he was president. What
better thing do we want than a govern
mcnt of clerks? Tbe foolish notion
that we need a majestic chief magistrate
is a survival of tbe monarchical mania
which has been such a nuisance and so
discreditable to the human race. We
suppose the president should, as a rule
be iu Washington, or within a day's ride
of the town, when congress in m session
but at other times we see no reason why
he should not call on his friends. We
hope President Arthur will have a good
time in lellowstone park, go to the driv
ing of the golden spike in Montana, go
through to Puget Sound, fish in Oregon
and come home by way of San Francis
00, arriving at Washington late in No
vember that is to say, if telegraphing is
to continue to be one of the industries of
the coantrv.

The fishing season near the city has
been an average one tuns far, both in
fresh and salt waters. The height of the
season is from June to July in fresh
waters, and from July nntil cold weather
in tbe salt waters near New York. There
is not a place in the country from which
such a variety of hsnmg, and such excel
lent sport also, oan be had as New York
city. There are many places where more
fish of any one or two species can be
taken, and where larger fish may be cap
tured, but, take it all in all, New York
city is the best centre for varied angling.
In the fresh-water fishes there are the
trout streams of Long Island, tho Cats-
kills, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Rhode Island, all within a few hours'
reach, while the Adirondacks are only
from fifteen to thirty hours distant. Tho
black bass fishing is cot of tbe best, the
fish being absent from such waters as
have not been stocked with tbem, for it
is not a native of this region. Still, the
New Jersey lakes and the Delaware river
and its branches afford some sport. Pike
are found near tbe city, but small pick
erel are plentiful, although not mudh
esteemed by anglers.
The salt waters outsido the harbor and
up and down the coast swarm with gamy
blnefish, often reaching ten pounds in
weight, while the noble striped bass in
taken abont Staten Island U) to three or
four pounds, and from Wontauk Point
to Newport of the largesf size. Weak-
fish, kingfiah and other species are more
or less plentiful, and are sought by an
glers of all degrees of skill and grades
of tackle, from the best to the cheapest.
Hand-liners go down tbe bay in small
boats and with shedder-crab and clam
"twitch," at every indication of a bite,
and haul their prey in hand over hand
and often come back with large strings.
Tho Fishing Banks, just outside Bandy
Hook, are visited by steamers who ad
vertise for passengers, promising from
four to six hours fishing, with bait and
lines provided, and oarry down a motley
