LOVE'S    HEEDLESSNESS.
1 wrote a letter to my love,
And all my pas&ion told. I called her • Darlinp." 'Sweetheart," "Dove,"
For Uibiance made me bold.
1 vowed to her that sad and drear
Would bc my wretdicd life Unless she turned a friendly onr,
And said she'd be my wife.
I bepged that she would let me know
Without delay my fate. That was a month and more ago—
Still anxiously I wait.
How can my love so cruel bc?
How can she try me so? •And her delay in answcrinf? me,
Does it mean ••Yes" or "No'"T
What's that?   The bell?   The postman's ring?
"A letter, sir. for you." Ten thousand hallelujahs sing!
My darling's heart is true!
But no!   What's this?   "Your letter, sir."—
I see beneath the lamp The very note I wrote to her,
And mailed uUfiout a stump!

HUNXmO  THE   COON.
A Bpirit-Stirring Sport that is Out of Fashion.
The Two SortM of  Dog  That  Used  to Be
U»o<l In New Jersey—Kniiuent Men
IVho    Followed    the
Chase.
What this countrj' needs is sportsmen with less iift'octatioii aud more snap. Hunters go from New Jersey to the barren hills of Tenn.'^ylvania forty miles or more awa}', and stand all day ou wind-swept ruuAva3s waiting fur a phot at tlie deer that uovcr conies, or tramp from moruin;^' till ni<;ht through 6waiui)y swails aud lirambly thickets hunting the plioasaut ihat fails to rise, while a .-^port that famous men Im'ed Jtnd elevated and gi-ew eulhusiastic OA'er years ago, and from which no hunter can return witliout pleasure and prolit, goes begging on every side of lis. The manner in which the oppor¬ tunities oH'ored by the hills and valleys of Northern New Jersey for the rarest of spent are neglected is enough to make the bones of the dead and gone lovers of the star-lit cha.se turn and rattle in tbeir graves. The star-lit chase to which I refer was the coon hunt, at which confession, doubtless, every owner of a cake-fed setter aud a hundred-and-iifty-floUar brceeh-loading shotgun from Tri-Stntos Rock t<jPahag- iiary Flats, will raise a shout of <lerisi<m loud enough to scare every coon iu Susse.'^ Count}' into winter quarters six •weeks before his time. But why the coon hunt has fallen into such a di.s- repute with the present generation of sportsmen, and why the ring-tailed and cunning dcMiizen of the hills and hollows himself has come to be despised by them, luii.-l be set down in the list of those things which no fellow can find out.
Why the cnon should be so de.spised by our sportsmen of to-day is a m ys- tery. lie is as cunning as the fox and more dilVunilt to find, lie should not b« despised, surely, because he can be hunted only at night, for in threading the woods in the darkness, following dogs that you can not see, ami whose baying alone breaks the stillness, tliere is a most singular eneliantinent. Or, ratlier, there was such an enchantment, for tfie ba\"ing of tho dogs is heard no more, not simply because the genuine coon built of our fathers is a lost art, but because the coon dog of our fathers is a species of animal that may truly be said to have be¬ come extinct. He was of no particular strain of blood, as I remember him, but he united the keen scent of the deerhound with the intelligence of the phepherd dog, and the tenacit}' of the bulldog with the stealth of the panther. With fewer accomplishments than these he could have well been fully equipped for the fox or deer trail; the lowing herd would have beeu safe in his keep¬ ing; he could have held his own in a contest in the pit, or he could have made himself a conspicuous object in any community as a highly successful forager on sheep pastures—but he never could have been a coon dog. To be that he needed not only scent but knowledge ; not only tenacity but wil}- ness. For your coon is a cute and tricky cu.stouK.'r. He is crammed to tho muzzle with patience. He is wonder¬ ful in strategy-, and a tactician peerless. M(n'eover, his trail is as cold as ice on a window pane, and almost as scentless as a snowljall. He leads through tangled swamps and deep, stony hollows. He crosses and reerosses swift-running streams. He frisks around the tops of rough stone walls as silent and swift as a shadow. He stops within a dozen feet of some convenient tree, clears the intervening space with a single bound, strikes the stem < the U-ee live or six feet from tlie ground, glides up to the longest branch, mus to its very cx- .'tremity, and leaps a dozen feet beyond it to the ground again, thus breaking his trail abruptly on one side and be¬ ginning it as confusingly abrupt on the other. He invent tactics for emergen¬ cies, and brings t( every con.sideration for his welfare am. that of his family a larcc and uniformly level head. To match the cunning, the skill and the almost human reasoning of this alert little prowler, iua scientific and sports¬ manlike way, the old time coon dog came to the front, and the frigidity of the evening had to be exceedingly un¬ comfortable when he failed to hold as many trump cards as the wily schemer be was after.
We had in those glorious days in this
part of Jersey two kinds of trained coon dogs. There was one who hunted as Bileutly H3 a ferret, and as relentlessly.
There was another who followed the chase to music of his own making, and who let you know at every step that he was getting there. There was mingled with the spookish methods of the still liunter an element of greater certainty that you would get your coon than there was with the melodious system of the dog that voiced his eagerness for the final fray ; but the style of the latter put more tingle in your blood and filled you with a buoyant expectancy th.at seemed to lift you up and away from the presence of every thing but the dog and the coon, hidden in the depths of the forest shadows, but both there, and both knowing that the supreme moment was drawing nigh. There was some¬ thing weird and uncanny in following the still dog in all the windings ami turnings of the gloomy woods at night. He crept among tangled brush and deep ravines, climbed abrupt knolls, aud worked his serpentine way down into deep hollows—1;urning, doubling, shift¬ ing, crossing and rccrossing his tr.ack, like the labyrinthine tracings of a ship's course—silent as the night arounc^him, stealthy as a t^vilight shadow. His very silence brought him to the prize. As the trail of the unsuspecting coon became Avarmer, the noiseless pursuer grcAV still more cautious, uutil, the game in sight, he rusluKl upon it like an avalanche, and the pent-up music of his soul Avcnt forth iu one fearful howl of triumph, and the surprised and frightened coon knew that his nights were numbered. But it Avas different with the dog that gaA'e tongue as he hunted. He made the music in the night—not the silvery treble of the fox¬ hound, iloatiiig down from the hills in the frosty air and draAvn out in SAveet cadenza by every Avilling echo, nor yet the mellow bass of the deerhound, SAvelling over the ridges; clear and far- sounding as a bugle note, but a pleas¬ ant though staccato song of his own, half bark, half bay, a cheerful mingling of melody Avith business.
The baying coon dog alAA'aj's had a better nose than his close-mouthed brother, aud he needed to haAC. The coon, smart as he Avas, never kucAV Avhen the silent dog AA^as on his track uutil it was too late to bring to his pro¬ tection the many Aviles aud stratagems that he at once resorted to when the cry of the other dog rang out on his trail. It was then that he mancuA-ered to tliroAV false scents, and tbe brook and the bramble, tbe hill and the liol- l<jw. Avere all impressed in his service in his race for life; aud it was then that the baying coon dog of the old time came out strong. Step by step he un¬ ravelled the tangled and Avell-hidden scent, constantly sounded his Avild challenge to the coon to do his best, until the hunted animars repertory of Aviles was exhausted, and, accepting the inevitable, he threw stratagem to the dogs, so to speak, and climbed a tree. When this stage of the hunt A\-as readied tbe dog knew that the nuts that particular coon had laid by for Aviuter use would never be disturbed by him, and he sent the hunter intelli¬ gence to that etl'eet bj' instantly chang¬ ing his bay to a loud, quick bark. Then tlic hunter picked his way to the spot.
Lying close ou a leatiess branch, bis rolled-up body plainly outlined iu moonlight, or less di.stinctly if the night is lit only by the stars, lies the cunning coon, outrun, his strategy use¬ less, his tactics unavailing. A load of heavy shot Avill f(!ich hiin down. If he is not killed Vij- tliat or the fall, he Avill give the dogs a lively fight Avliile it lasts, and so good a fighter is a coon, pressed to defend himself, that many a coon dog, Avith the best kind of an opinion of himself, has been unable to join in the chase for days after an en¬ counter Avith one that had come out of the ])rocess of untreeiug in fir.st-class trim for the subsequent proceedings.
The decline and fall of the coon hunt seems to d.ate from the late Avar, Avhen many other of the old-time sports and pastimes Avinit out of fashion. The race of trained coon dogs gradually be¬ came extinct. There are coon dogs aud coon hunters yt;t, to be sure, but the dogs are not the coon dogs of our fathers, aud the hunters are generally shiftless, hand-to-mouth members of the community, avIio "f(dloAv the calling not for Avholcsome and exciting sport, but to obtain an important means of subsistence. I know some good citi¬ zens, sportsmen, Avho occasionally steal out of a crisp NoA'cmber evening, and follow a coOn as be.^t they can Avith the means at hand, but they Avould be ashamed to have it knoAvn!—xV. l".

The Population of Spain.
Signor Stella says that in 1799 the poinilation of Spain scarcely reached 10,000,000, but at the end of 1882 it ex¬ ceeded 18,000,000, this being tanta¬ mount to an increase of 8.40 per 1,000 inhabitants every year. The agricul¬ tural population, AvhicliAvas only 3,615,- 000 eighty-live years ago, is noAv 9,328,- 000, and the area under cultivation has increased from 53,000.000 to 193,750,- 000 acres, Avliile there are uoav 38,000,- 000 head of cattle as against just half that number at the beginning of the centuiy. The industrial population of Sp.ain h.as risen from 1,035,000 to 3,038,- 000, and the number of manufactories, etc., from 883 to 13,911.—Geographical News.

IMPORTED   CHEESES.
Tliey Are Tinitnted by .American Dairymea ¦\Vho Use Foreign Processes.
A statement appeared in print the other day that nine-tenths of the fancy cheeses, such as Ncufchatel, Camcm- bert, Brie or Limburger, Munster or Swiss, Avcre uoav made in this couutry. The article was shown to some of the prominent grocery dealers. Some of them Avcre inclined to doubt it. Said one of them:
"There is s<mie truth in the state¬ ment, but far more exaggeration. Ia short, it ought to reversed and say that nine times out of ten Avhcn you order Camembert, Minister or any of tho fancy cheeses you will get the imported article. Limlmrger is probably aa exception to this rule, as it is compara- tiA'ely perishable in its nature, but so little of it is used that it is hardly Avorth 'mentioning. The Brie and Camembert cheeses have ncAcr been to my knowl¬ edge succes.^fully imitated in this coun¬ try. The so-called Neufchatcl is made, but this is also a perishable cheese and there is not a great deal of it consumed. As for the Gruyere or Saa'Iss cheese, Avhich is the most largely imported, there has been a good deal of it made here, and that successfully, but in what proportion to the ^mount imported it is difficult to saj-. To sum up, I should saj' that one-tenth of the fancy cheeses are made here. The story is sonu'thing like the one started a few years ago about imported champagnes being made from NcAv Jersey cider."
"Well, have there not been some ex¬ cellent imitations of French Avines mau- iifaetured here?"
"I have never seen any that I think would deceive a reporter," Avas the smiling reply. "As a matter of fact," he added, "wine-making and the jiro- duction of fancy cheeses of all kinds are rapidly groAving industries, but as yet not a fifth of that used is made here."
The cheese men did not quite agree with the grocery dealers. Most of them say that the fancy cheese business ia this country has been developing in a more remarkable Avay Avilhin the last two years than many people are aAvare of. A large number of n(>AV factories haA'c be(;n crectec' recently, and one of these in Chenango County is turning out over one hundred thousand ])ounds a year. Its owner has obtained the pro¬ cesses of manufacture used abroad and is able noAv to compete with the foreign makers in a variety of fancy brands. Several other large factories have also been built in Ohio and otlier States. Said a dealer ;
"Most of the Italian fancy cheeses, the English, SavIss, and such French kinds, for instance, as Rocqucfort, Avhich is made of sheep's and goat's milk, are still imported, but the ma¬ jority of others mentioned, I should say, are made here. It is a fact that one is moro likel}' to get imported Ger¬ man cheeses in South Fifth aA'cnue res¬ taurants than in some of the high-priced ones along Broailway. The cooks of the German vessels coming here are in the habit of bringing these first named places small supplies whcncA'cr thoy can do so couveiiiently."—N. Y. Tribune.
