OTjy WITH THE TIDE*
Hie Ebb Which Sets in and “Takas
a Soul.”
One of the most striking and dramatic
|death-bejj scenes ever sketched by the
fhaster,hsnd of Charles Dickens is that
6f the 6ld Bludderstone carrier, Barkis,
in “David Copperfield,” which, if not
the most powerful of Dickens’ crear
tions, and occasionally a little garru
lous, undoubtedly possesses a Rem
brandt perspective and a felicity of
imaginative touch exceeded by no
other. From a boy of ten my remem
brance of the picture of the rough old
Yarmouth fisherman, whispering be
hind his huge, horny, caloused, un
couth hand: “He’s going out with the
tide,” has possessed the peculiar real
ity of something actually remembered
from .visual contact, instead of the
mere Vividness that inheres to the re
• nuembranee of jfcenes. more or less
graphically described. Tf physiologists
are correct in ascribing to the retina
of the eye a memory of its own, inde
pendent of the mere cerebral ^collec
tions of impressions, the explanation of
. this fact is obvious. Recollections of
scenes, faces or situations, which date
from previous visual impression, and
depend upon the faculty of the retina
for reproducing images, are necessarily
imbued with a certain photographic
vividness and fidelity, to which the
recollection of ideal pictures produced
by reflex action but dimly approximates.
Biographers say that Goethe and Shelley
were gifted with a rare faculty of sec
ondary vision, not shared by any com
mon humanity, which enabled them at
Will, by mere effort of the memory to
reproduce upon the retina of the eye
impressions that had once been pro
jected upon that delicate membrane,
and thence transmitted to the brain—a
faculty whose influence can be traced
in their literature, in a certain pictorial
quality imparted to scenes purely
imaginary, as well as in a* certain
graphic tone of imagery and descrip
tion.
Not many handlers of the pen, how
ever, poets or mere romancers, gifted
with secondary vision or not, have
ever acquired the wizardry of touching
their descriptions with the simple and
direct reality of optical impression.
Such magic of the pen pertains only to
masters, and to them only in their
i highest moods—moments of supreme
command of plastic materials such as
the reader may wade through pages of
common-place to discover in the best
writers. All the works of Dickens con
jj tains scarcely a score of such passages;
• ■ and no other British writer, except
■5 Mr. Charles Kingsley in “Alton
| Locke,” and George Eliot in “Silas
JMarner,” the least of her creations in
I bulk, the finest and most artistic in
I reality, has ever touched, in evanescent
l glimpses even, this supreme summit of
descriptive excellence.
The simple, direct, artistic pictur
esqueness that appears in the narrative
bf the deith of Barkis—as if the writer
wefe describing from life—is thus,
then, probably due to his familiarity
with a superstition common to mari
time population, that the souls of dying
men pass away with the tide—out—out
—far out to sea. The toneh of mystery
with which the superstition is imbued,
was of a kind to qnickeh the active,
sympathetic imagination of Dickens;
and the result, appears in the wizard
death-bed picture evoked by that con
juror with the pen.
But is this weird belief about the
souls of dying men going out with the
tide—which I find as deep-seated and
strong with the shrewd, hard-headed,
hornv-handed farmer-fishermen of this
old New England town (Madison,
Conn.) as Dickens did, no doubt, with
the bloaters of old Yarmouth—‘merely
a groundless, but very natural, supers
stitition of sea-going races, or is it a
fact that for some reason not yet fath
omed by science, the sick, old and en
feebled are more apt to die at ebb-tide
than when the tide is rising. I remem
ber, appropos qf the foregoing, the,
medical superintendent of one of the
largest and finest asylums for the in
sane in this country once remarked to
me, speaking pf, the ancient notion of1
.. the nioqn, exercising a potent influence
otr the nervous system of man, that the
cycle of recurrent phases through
which the mind of a madman periodic
ally passes seldom or never varies from
the' limit, of one .month—that is, coin
cides snbstatJtrtrttvHvith the moon’s as
pects. The learned expert did not pre
tend tp exilain why. or how this coin
cident oectu*- only that such is ;the
f4ot« *nd that the ancients denoted it
ifl thmrdenvatidn of the ward lunatic.
In a similar manner, speaking with a
prominent physician in this section of
the State of Connecticut, whose prac
tice embraces the three-shore towns of
Guilford, Madison qnd Clinton, with a
large fishing and coast population, the
old whim that men are prone to die at
ebb-^4n thaniat other hours of the day
crops out from a source that entitles it
to consideration, ~
“For more than thirty years," said
the ^ray-bearded old doctor, who
" iis statement, as the re
personal observation,
“I have lived and observed among the
rough, hardy souls hereabout; and for
more than fifty, my father before me
gathered facts and wisdom from prac
tice. I often ride thirty miles of a day
along the coast; and I have stood by
hundreds of death-beds of fishermen
and farmers, old and young, during
the last quarter of a century; but I can
hardly recall a single instance of a per
son dying of disease who did not pass
away while the tide was ebbing. It is
a fact that, in critical cases, l never
feel concerned about leaving the pa
tient for an hour or two when the tide
is coming in; but when it is receding,
and particularly in the later stages of
the ebb, I always stay by, if I can, un
til the turn comes. You'll scarcely
credit it, perhaps; but the daily recorc
of the tides is the most important part
of the almanac to me in my practice.
If a patient wHo is very low lives to see
the current turn from ebb to flow, I
know the ease is safe till the ebb sets
in again. Then, take care!—for death
wins. You remember the old saw in
rhyme:
“When the tide comes in, death waits for dole;
When the tide ebbs, it takes the soul.”
“Well, it has also proved so in my
practice.”
Of course, the weather-beaten old
practitioner did not wish to be under
stood as imagining that the tidal move
ment itself is in any way concerned in
this tendency to fatality. Nor was he
in possession of any definite theory, his
own, or generally accepted by the pro
fession, of the cause or causes to whose
agency the observed fatality of ebb-tide
is due.
. “I4 is simply a fact of my experi
ence,” he said, “that patients die at
ebb tide; and that the remaining hours
of the day are hours of comparative
immunity from death, except by acci
dent. The tower of Siloam is liable to
fall at any hour of the day, high tide
or low. One fact I may give you that
possibly bears upon the scientific solu
tion of the question; and that is that
the barometrical pressure varies
rhythmically with the ebb and flow of
the tide. But the relation of the two
phenomena is as yet undetermined.
Indeed, I am not sure that anv observer
but myself has noticed its existence.”
By way of illustrating his subject,
the old doctor went on to tell a story
in some particulars parallel to that of
Barkis. This young man was very
skeptical as to the basis in fact of the
ancient notion, and so addressed him
selr for three years to the verification
of the alleged relation, by ascertaining
the hour and minute of every death
that came under his notice, and con»
-paring this datum with the tidal move
ment. Some four years ago the young
skeptic commenced his record, with a
view to verify or disprove the world-old
hypothesis. During three years of
careful observation and inquiry he
amassed a record of fifty-one deaths.
Only two of these occurred when the
tide was rising, and these two were
deaths from fatal accident. At the age
of twenty-four, the young scientist
himself was stricken down by typhoid
fever, and eventually succumbed to the
disease, after lying for many days on
the very verge of dissolution.
On his death-bed he sent for his
brother in New York City, but the lat
ter was, unfortunately, so circum
stanced that it was impossible to re
spond immediately to the summons,
and delayed a day after the receipt of
the message. On the closing afternoon
of his life, hour after hour, till the last
incoming wave had deposited its rid
dles of the sea, the dying man waited
in patience, exclaiming now and then,
or rather sighing, as the, tall, old-fash
ioned clock in the corner of the room,
like a gigantic coffin with figures and
hands, told off the seconds with a mo
notonous tick-tack, tick-tack of its tribe:
“I’m afraid Wallev won’t get here
till after the tide turns! Mother, what
time is it?”
And still the tall old clock, whose
exactly circular, silver-frosted dial re
sembled one of the cvclopean faces in
some old Hellenic bas-relief, went on
telling of the seconds with the same
relentless tick-tack that Hawthorne
has describled with such symbolical
significance in the “Scarlet Letter;”
the last in-coming wave broke on the
lonesome sands of the sound shore;
and the ebb set in that “takes a soul.”
The dying man lost hop.: a.; the fated
moment went by and Walley did not
come.
“Walley won t get here, mother, till
I’m gone,” he murmured, wearily. “I
shall be dead before the tide turns
again!”
The prediction whs verified. He
went out with the tide, as Barkis did in
the wonderful etching of Dickens, and
as the souls of many more have done
before and since. The longed-and
waited-for Walley arrived less than an
hoar after the last outgowing wave had
receded—but too late. The tide of life
had ebbed forever; its last pulsating
wave had receded from the enfeebled
brain.
So ended the old doctor’s story
Whose parallel I have listened to many
times in the folk-lore of this primitive
community—stories of the old and
?roung, the grave and gay, whose souls,
ike that of Barkis, had gone out with
the tide.
“Mindyou,” reiterated the grim old
practitioner, “I proffer no explanation
of the fact. But fact it is, sir, and no
superstitious fancy of sea-going popu
lation, that the pulses of the living hu
man heart rise and fall with the tidal
movement of the sea. Form your own
theory of the phenomenon. Within
the last five years, in a district em
bracing sixty square miles or so by the
i#ea, I nave noted the hour and minute
of no less than ninety-three demises in
my own immediate practice, and every
soul of them has all gone oat with the
tide, save four who died suddenly by
fatal accident. It is a riddle—a mystery.
Bht I who have sat with my fingers on
the wrist of many a feeble patient, and
notice the pulse rise and strengthen,
or sink and banish with the turning
of the tide, know that it is fact.”—

ARTIFICIAL FERTILIZERS.
An Epitome of the Fertilizing’ Question
Made by a Competent Authority.
Prof. Caldwell, of Cornell University,
delivered an address before the Massa<
chusetts Horticultural Society, which
is summarized as follows:
1. That if enough of the needed ele
ments of food of the gardener's or hor
ticulturist’s crops can not be obtained
in stable manure or other animal
waste, it can be procured in the trade
is unlimited quantity, and in every de
gree of availability depending on dif
ferent grades of solubility, and in the
greatest variety of mixtures, to suit any
whim or fancy of crop growers.
2. That profitable crop-growing can
be carried on for at least many years
with these commercial fertilizers alone.
3. That the most evident distinction
between stable manure and commercial
fertilizers, and the distinction upon
which we should therefore base an ex
planation of the greater reliability of
the former, is its proportion of veget
able matter, of which commercial fer
tilizers contain practically none.
4. That soil contains in a difficultly
soluble condition, and therefore not
easily fed upon by the crop, all the
needed elements of plant food.
5. That humus, by the decay it suf
fers in the soil, furnishes carbonic acid
and other solvent agents, and this car
bonic acid appears to play an impor
tant part in the nourishment of crops,
by bringing this native insoluble stock
of plant food within their easy reach.
6. That even if we add water-soluble
plant, food on the soil, it becomes
largely insoluble before the crop can
feed upon it; therefore soluble plant
food added to the soil in commercial
fertilizers also needs the help of the
humus finally for its solution.
7. That plant food in most animal
and vegetable residues used in manures,
costs much less than in commercial
manure.
8. That in spite of the disadvantages
that under some conditions attend the
use of commercial fertilizers, they are,
nevertheless, a very important and
necessary help in crop growing.
9. That in using these fertilizers the
wisest course appears to be to make
one’s own mixtures of the raw material,
as well as securing a better manure as
for economy in the first cost.
ihe foregoing is an epitome of the
fertilizer question, made by a compe
tent authority. In reproducing it, wo
would emphasize the seventh point, and
would add, that in our opinion, there
must be either a marked increase in the
price of agricultural products, or a
marked decrease in the price asked for
commercial fertilizers, before the
farmer of Ohio and westward can af
ford to use them iu ordinary crop pro
duction. There is no doubt that an ar
tificial fertilizer may be made that
will produce as large crops as stable
manure, but at present prices the cost
af such a fertilizer is generally greater
than the value of the increased produce
resulting from its use.—Farm and Fire

SUMMER SILKS.
A Pretty Model of a Stylish, Gray-Blue
Louisine Dress.
The old-time summer silks arc being
used again in stripes, checks, bars and
blocks, and these may be either the
smooth lustrous surfaces, the twilled
surahs or the basket-woven Louisines.
The entire dress may be of one mate
rial, but this is often improved by add
ing touches of a contrasting color in
the vest, the revers, collar and cuffs,
while the skirt is prettily adorned by a
sash, and, instead of flounces, one or
two rows of scallops of a contrasting
color are added at the foot. In such
dresses the effect of a full skirt is
given, bounces are avoided, and above
the full skirt there is a very bouffant
drapery. A pretty model of such a
dress is of Louisine, gray-blue with
cross-bars of red about a fourth of an
inch apart, and all the accessories of
sash, scallops, revers, etc., are of
plain red surah the shade of that in the
Louisine. Although this dress appears
to have a full round skirt, it is never
theless made on a gored foundation
skirt of red silk, finished by silk foot
plaitings. This skirt is, however, con
cealed by another of the Louisine, con
sisting of four straight breadths, each
about twenty-two inches wide, gath
ered to the belt to throw a great deal
of fulness in the back, and cut out in
scallops on the lower edge. These
scallops when finished are four
inches deep and very nearly two
inches wide. In the spaces between
the scallops appears another row of
scallops of similar shape, made of red
surah, and these are supported by
the kuife-plaitings on the foundation
skirt. A deep apron over-skirt covers
the front and sides, being caught up by
Ihe sash ends far back on the left side,
and the back shows only the full gath
ered skirt just described. The drapery
extends up the right side high on the
hips, completing the apron, and drops
do\^h in a point behind. The short
basque has revers of red surah up each
side of a white crape plaston that is
placed across the front, plain at the
throat, and laid in three diagonal folds
on the chest. Such dresses are simi
larly carried out in white China silk
with dull red velvet, in black surah
with olive green surah, and in black
and white striped silk with moir, either
white or black. Smooth silk in stripes
of two shades of gray-blue or of dull
red makes very eflective dresses with ;
cream white surah, or else with surah
of the shade of one of the stripes.— ;
Harper's Bazar.
Repairing Chairs.
If yon have any old cane-bottomed
chairs which want re-canine, you may
make the seats useful with thick, col
ored wool twine. Cut away the old
cane lirst, and thread a long, stout
darning-needle with the twine. Knot
the ends, loop it through the holes
backwards and forwards, crossways
from side to side, right and left, and,
every hole being filled, work them
back again, weaving as you would for
cloth, so you must be careful not to
draw the threads very tight the first
time over, or it is more difficult to
weave. Finally, press the pair of
threads together.—Burni wd
A BROKEN HEART.
Real Reason Why James Buohanat
Remained a Bachelor.
[Washington Cor. V. Y. World ]
President Buchanan’s love story is his
toric, and reads more like the conventional
novel of fifty years ago than plain fact
But it happened just as tragedies happen
every day that are many times stranger
than fiction. When he was a poor young
lawyer he became engaged to Miss Cole
man, who belonged to one of the richest,
Btaidest and, it may be assumed, narrow
est-minded and most purblind families in
Philadelphia. The Colemans by no means
approved of the match, but nevertheless
the young couple became engaged. Mr.
Buchanan was than practising law in a
remote part of Pennsylvania, and in those
days of stage coaches and saddle-bags cor
respondence was liable to interruptions.
Miss Coleman’* letters became irregular
and then stopped altogether. He wrote
repeatedly, but got no reply. At last tie
determined to go to Philadelphia, but at
Lancaster the stage met with an acci
dent and Mr. Buch nan suffered a broken
leg. He wrote again as soon as he was
able, and still heard nothing. Laid up in
a country tavern, in tfie midst of a
phenomenal snow-storm, for six weeks,
embittered him, and he wrote Miss Coio
nmn a letter of fierce reproaches, and then
wrote no more. Now for Miss Coleman’s
part. Her eminently respectable family
from the beginning intercepted all of her
letters and all of Mr. Buchanan’s. She
made all the appeals to him a woman
could make, but she never had a line from
him after he left Philadelphia, except that
last cutting letter—and as, unfortunately,it
contained nothing but his renunciation of
her, she could know nothing of what had
preceded it. The eminently respectable
family were satisfied—the match was
broken off by means that would have
landed them all in the penitentiary in these
days. A year or two afterward Sir.
Buchanan was in Philadelphia, and at a
bail caine face to face with Miss Coleman.
Neither spoke, and Mr. Buchanan paid
marked attention to another girl
present. T&it night a young friend
who was staying with Miss Coleman
said to her, while the two girls were
alone in their room: “Did you see Mr.
Buchanan’s attentions to Miss'-? Now,
they might have been yours had you
recognized him.” Miss Coleman began to
sob violently. She would not be soothed,
and her friend, becoming alarmed, called
the family. Of what next happened two
accounts have been given: One was that
she had taken poison, and her sufferings
afterward came from that—but those who
wersnear her said that she was simply
suffering from uncontrollable mental
anguish. Toward morning, when her
pulse had got so low that it was scarely
perceptible, and her nervous excitement
had changed into a profound stupor, the
doctors were sent for. But sho was past
help. They never roused her, an 1 she
died the next day of what the doctors
called nervous exhaustion, but which goes
by the name of a broken heart. Then the
truth came to Mr. Buchanan’s ears, and
from that day his bachelorhood was as
sured.

FOR THE CURE OF
FEVER and AGUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER,
AND ALL N1ALARLAL DJJ5EASES.
The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
justly claims for it a superior.ty over all rem
edies ever effe ed to the public for the S AFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT euro
of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth
er cf short or long standing. Ho refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the t nth of the assertion
that in no case whatever wiil it fail to euro if
the directions arc strictly followed and carried
out. In a great many cases a single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by a single bottle, w.th a per
fect restorat on of the g oner a heal.h. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer
tain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two aftor tho disease h«a
Ken checked, more especially in difficult a^d
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
