THE ritlliB OF 11ATTEUY 11.
South'mountaln towered.upon outright,
Far off tho river lay,
And oer on tho woodedpielsht
We held their lines at bay.
At last tho muttering guns were still,
The day died slow'and wan t
At last tho gunners' pipes did fill,
The sergeant's jams began.
When ns the wfml a moment bleiv
Aside tho fragrant Hood
Our brlarvroods raised, within our view
A little maiden stood.
A tiny lot of six or seven,
From nrc'Jdo fresh shoseetrcd,
(Ot such a llttlcjonc In heaven
One soldier often dreamed.)
And, ns westarled, her llttlo hand
Went to her curly head

UNDEKSTAHDS HOUSE TALK.
Thero is a retired trainer named Iflng re
siding ou a Bmall farm in Alamede County,
who lives for nothing clso but tne pieasur
f being near horses. He cats bis meals n
tho same stable, oftwi-times passing mm
night in tho same stall with a favorite pony,
and among his equine pets is n mare who
winnles in answer every time he speam to
her, Our informant relates that the most
perfect understanding evidently exists be
tween Mr. Long and nt least tnrce our, oi
tho five horses in his stable. Two are re
cent additions, but even in their caso affi
nity is seen in a lesser degree.
The training of horses, their oueaience,
docility and tricks in a circus, nro no nov
elty; all of us have seen a horso firea'pU-
tol, stand on two legs, waltz, lie tiown wu
its trainer, and perform a hundred acts of
tracitv. but these are simply tno result oi
patient training and systematic correction.
What Mr. Long claims is iar more nsiueiuu-
ing. Ho asserts that, from a uic-iong in
timacy with horses, he undcrr-tands their
speech; ho goes further and declares that
their nasal, guttural, expioaeni ana unob
structed sounds have a different meaning,
are used by the coalition of tho brain and
vocal organs, and that not only do his fa
vorite horses understand him, out mat every
sound which they utter is perfectly plain't
him. When arguing with him that thnugfc
ho might comprehend the meaning or the
sounds emanating from the vocal chords'of
a horse, yet it was a patent impossibility for
a horso to understand the i-ngnsu language,
ho replied: "Living, eating and sleepin;
with my horso has given mo tho knowledge
I possess, and the samo intimacy has ac
quired for my horses tho' rower for them."
Here, turning to a slender, light-built gray
pony, he stld, "Billy, we are talking of
you; if you understand what I am saying,
turn your head round on the off side." The
pony did so, nud then resumed its feed.
"Hilly," he continued, ''tell me your age,
how long you have lived here and on which,
side of you is your friend Vesta?" Tbepony
whinnied for about two minutes consecu
tively, nnd then. ..being loose in his stall,
walked into the adjoining one, occupied by
tho mare Vesta. "Xow," lie continued.
"do you and Hilly walk down together t
the trough nnd drink while I make up your
beds." Vesta nnd Billy walked quietly out
and proceeded straight to tho trough.
While they were out, Mr. Long imnea
over the straw carefully with a fork, and
carried on nu animated conversation with
roan gelding nbout fifteen hands high,
Vesta's neighbor on the other side, llio
name of this horse was Toley, and afler talk
ing nutrrilv to him for somo minutes about
some fault ho had committed the day bo-
fore, he ordered Mr. Toley to lie down and
not get up until after Vesta nnd Billy had
returned. Our informant says but little in

the evening that Mary began to bo afraid
her plans had failed. He came out now,
however, greatly to Mary's satisfaction.
This is n fea-t, indee d. A fe llow is fortu

but I don't seewhv it is that women cannot
have the kuiick tlint Mrs. Vane has, nt cook-

what could Mnry mean tn trifle with the

He began lo grow very red indeed. Mrs.
Vane saw it, presci.lly, nnd can e lo his and
Mary's relief, for poor Mnry had already
begun to be :i little fiishtened at tho sue-ce-s
ot her own scheme. She did not like

'Mr. Starr,' said Mrs. Vane, 'lam truly

Hero the whole company caught me in-
f.'Clloii, and joined in the laugh against Joe.
It was nf no use to get angry with so man)
peoplo; so, before long, Joo joined the
chorus himself.
So tho tea party broke up with tho great
est good nature all round, nnd Joo went
homo with n lesson ho never forgot, for it
was the last tinio that Mary ever heard any
complaints from him, He is now tho most
easily pleased of any husuand for ten miles
around.
As I looked, in this situation, under me at
the defective lantern, I found that I was not

ther from the wall than I had thought.

Here! sat a longtime smoking my cigar
drumming with my heels ou the wall, and
complacently enjoying tho cool of the eve
ning and the maepificent prospect.
The sun was scltitii before I thought of
making my return, which I was especially
induced to do by the sight of ono or two
persons, who were standing below nnd'gazing
up at me.
It was not three minutes before a crowd
of people had gathered nbout them lo Ptijoy
the spectacle of a man sitting in St. Peter's
lantern.
"Halloo!'' thought, I "it is now time to
return ! Some uno will find nut who I uin,
nnd then there will be a pretty gossip in the
place." Hut I suddenly became tiwarc that
return was put so e.-.y.
My seat was so constructed that I could
rise-in my usual way. The s des of the lan
tern were of smooth iron, and so high that 1
could get no hold. There) was nothing loll
me but to press my hands on the seat behind
me, misn myself so, nud draw my legs after
me until they could rest between my hand
upon the lantern. Then I could rise to my
full height and turn around on my wn
axis.

strength in hands and urins is necessary in

and asked if they kept shingle nails there,
Being informed that they had a eleizen kegs
on hand, he further inquired :
"Are they genuine shingle nails, or only
imitations T
'"They are shingle nails, of course."
"Let me seo them.''
A handful was placed on the counter be
fore him' nnd he took several nails to the
door, where he could get a stronger light.
After scanning them thoroughly, ho tested

them between ills fingers nnil said :
"Well, they seem to be ull right, and I

along here about a mouth ago, ctrrie-el them
home, nud what do you suppose they turned
out to be?"
"Six-penny ?" answered the clerk.;
"No, sir. They werobhoo pegs, sir!"
"That was strange," iim-ed the clerk.
"And another limn when I ordcredshlnglti

"Curious mistake, that," said the- clerk,

"Yes, sir."
