The work-dny week lins enpt its yoke
Of troublous toll and careful quest j

From fallow fields and woody dells

The kinc come up with tinkling bells,
Through all the loomy ways j
And buckets drip by busy wells,
And rudy ingles blaze.
Ilis whirling wheels the miller stops,
The Bin If 1j his tilcnt anvil leaves,
Ilis ringing axe the joiner drops,
No more the weaver weaves ;
Ilis loaded wain the peddler props
Ueiieath the tavern eaves.
A happy hush, a tranquil balm,
As if the week-day work and care
Were lilted oil', and left us calm,
Pervade the quiet air
A sense of a silent psalm,
A feeling' as of prayer.
For now the night, with soft delay,
Seems brooding like a tender dove,
While the lust hours of Saturday
Slu t in the hours of love,
And the sweet Sabbath spans the way
To holier homes above.

Few Saturdays are ours i,t best,
And out of pain mid earthly woe,
Few days of Sabbath ret-t ;
God grant us that we may yet know

A WEDDING NIGHT INCIDENT.
HOW TOM BKNNETT FIXED JOE TIIOMTSON.
IT WASN'T hardly the fair thing that
the boys did to Joe Thompson the
night he was married, but the temptation
was irresistible. They could not have
helped it. to have saved their lives. I'll
tell you how it was.
Joe was about the most fancy-dressed
chap in town over nice and particular
a perfect Miss Nancy in manner, al
ways putting on airs, and more dainty
and modest than a girl. Well, when his
wedding night came he was dressed, trunk
empty, and his pants, especially fit tin ir
him as if they had been moulds, and his
legs candles, ami run into them. Tight
was no mime for them. 'J heir set was im
mense, and he was prouder than half u
dozen peacocks.
" Aren't they nice, boys?" be asked
of tho two who were to be groomsmen,
and see that he threw bimsell'away in the
most approved fa.-hion.
( " Stunning! Gorgeous!" replied Tom
I'ennclt. "Never saw anything equal to
them. IJitt I say, doe aren't they just
the least bit tight? It strikes me that
you will have sumo difficulty in bcndinir
won't you V
" Pshaw no ! They tiro as easy as nn
old glove see !''
To prove the matter he bent down so
as to touch his patent leathers, when
crack ! crack ! followed like tho twin
report of ;i revolver.
''J Imnder !" exclaimed Joe, us he clas
ped his behind and found a rent in
the cassimers from stem to stern. Thun
der ! the pants have burst and what shall
I do V
should think they had, answered
Tom, getting purple in the face as he en
deavored to control 'his laughter, "but
(hero is no time to get another pair. It
only wants half an hour to the stand up
time, and we have a mile to go. Car
riage waiting too."
" What shall I do? what shall I
do r
l 11 fell you what Joe. if mine wnnld
fit you should h
ll,
ami welcome.
I see no way
but they are a mile to b
but to have them mended
" M ho can I get to do it, Tom V
' Well. I am something of a tailor, and
can f:. them so that they won't show.
Hold on a minute and I'll-get a needle
and thread."
" Can you? May heaven bless you !"
" Oil wiih your coat," commanded Tom
as he came back. " Now lay yourself
over on the bed and 1'li fix yuu in a
short order.
The command was obeyed the pants
mended tho coat tails carefully pinned
over. So as to conceal the distress for
rent," and all went merry as a luarriatro
bell. until Tom followed his blushing bride
to the natal couch.
There was only a dim light in the room
but it enabled Joe, as he glanced bashful
ly around to sec tho sweetest' face in the
world, the rosy cheeks and ripe lips the
lovely and loving blue eyes and golden
curls just peeping out from the snowy
sheets, and he extinguished it altogeth
er, and hastened to disrobe himself. OIF
came lhe coat, vest, fancy necktie and col
lar, boots and seeks in a hurry; but some
how the pants stuck. The more he tried
the more they wouldn't come, and he
tugged vainly for half and hour.
MM It. ,
iiiuntier: slioutod Joe.
' What is the matter, dear?" came in
the softest of accents from the bed, where
somebody was wondering what it was
that annoyed him.
It was a moment of desperation. Joe
was entirely overcome by tho situation,
and forgetting his bashfuluess, blurted
out :
" Molly, that cursed Tom Bennett has
sewed my pants, drawers, shirt and un
dershirt all together."
" It is too bad. Wait a moment dear."
A little stockingless foot first peeped
out, then a ruflled night dress, the lamp
was lighted, and a pair of scissors found
and Joe released, mentally vowing that
if ho got tho opportunity "ho would pay
his friend Tom back with interest for tho
joke ho hud played on him.
Husband" If I were td lose you I
would never bo such a fool us to marry
again."
Wife " If I wero to loso you, I would
marry again directly."
Husband " Then my death would be
regretted by at least one person."
Wife "l)y whom?"
Husband, "My successor."
A Dog Team.
A'
TRAVELKIt in Alaska gives his
cxpeneuce with a dog team as fol-
loWS !
" My team comprised three dogs. The
leader was a fine black dog named lkkee
who had a magnificent bushy tail, which
was always erect and curly. The next
one was black and white, and called
Sawashka, a hard worker and of aitnable
disposition. Next the sled was old
Kaniuk, my favorite, and the ugliest dog
in the brigade. 11 is tail poorly furnished
ed with hair, was usually between his
legs; his ears were short, and scored with
the marks of many battles. His face was
stolid, and exhibited emotion only when
feeding time came, or when some other
dog ventured too nearer lagged behind.
Ilis body was large, and bis legs were
like pillars his color was white, with dirty
spots. Altogether ho looked a good deal
like a lean pig. But how hewould pull.
A description can give but a faint idea
of dog driving. It is an art itself. The
nature ol' dogs is cross grained, and they
frequently do the wrong thing with ap
parently the best intentions. Kaeh has a
peculiar look and character. Some are
irrcekiimably lazy, others enjoy hard
work unless pushed too far; some are
greedy and snappish, others good humor
ed and decorous. All are very practical
showing aii'eclion only for the man that
feeds them. Hence the vovageur should
always feed his own team himself. They
dislike the whip, not only when in use,
but in abstract. They will always de.-troy
one if (hey can get at it. The whip is
made wilh a short handle, a very lonu'
lash braided of leather or seal.-kin, and
usually leaded with sheet leader bullets
in the core.
As we walk behind the sled, which or
dinarily travels about four miles an hour
we have an excellent opportunity of
studying dogs One habit appears to be
ingrained in their nature." It exhibits
itself at street corners in cities, and at
every bush, stump, or lump of ice that
'they pass on tho road. When traveling
rapidly,some dog would slop twenty times
an hour to examine any bush or twig
which attracts his attention. If a leader
it checks the whole team if not, he usually
tangles himself in the harne.-s and jumps
frantically to release himself as bo hears
the well known crack of the whip about
his ears. If a. log comes in the way, aud
the driver is not ready with his help in
urging the sled over it, down they drop
on their tails and looking about with a
plea-ed expression, or uttering a senti
mental howl.
With a crack of lhe whip, and a shout
to Kamuk to stir himself, their reveries
are broken, and we go on. Going down
hill, the whip aud lungs are again called
into requisition, to keep the dogs, out of
the way of the descending sled.
It io said that no man can drive dogs
without swearing. I think it is in a
measure true. At all events ho must
have a ready store of energetic expletives
to keep them on the (juioivr. In ilussiau
American we always used the indigenous
epithets, which, as we did not understand
tiiem, were hardly sinful. If there is
a tree near the trail the dogs invariably
try to' pass it on dill'erent sides, until
cheeked by their harness ; they e instantly
exhibit such idiosyncracies, and it was
lucky for Job that ho was not set to dog
driving, if be had been, I fear his po.,"
tliumous reputation would have suu'ered.
i'dr-rk Twain ns on Agricultural Editor;
FjpiIK regular editor of an Agricultural
J paper being in need of a holiday,
Mark was secured to take his place tem
porarily. 'I ho first edition of tho paper
under his charge had the following arti
cles :
Turnips should never bo pulled it
injures them. It is much better to send
up a boy and let him shako'the tree.
" The guano is a fiuo bjrd', but great
euro is necessary in rearing it. It should
not be imported earlier than June nor la
ter than September. In tho winter it
should bo kept in a warm place, where it
can hatch out its young.
" It is evident that we aro to have a
backward season for grain. Therefore, it
will be well for the farmer to bo setting
out his corn-stalks and planting his buck
wheat cukes in July instead of August.
' Concerning the Pumpkin. This ber
ry is u favorite with the natives of lhe
interior of New England, who prefer it to
the gooseberry for tho making of fruit
cake, and who likewise give it tho pref
erence over tho raspberry for feeding
cows, as being more filling and fully as
satisfying. Tho pumpkin is tho only es
culent of tho or.nigo family that will
thrive iu the North, except the gourd and
one or two varieties of the squash. But
the' custom of planting it in the front
yard with the shrubbery is fast going out
of vogue, for it is now generally conceded
that tho pumpkin, as a shade tree is a
failure."
The next morning the regular editor
entered the office looking Bud and deject
ed, and said to Mark :
" My friend, as I am nn honest man,
the street out here is full of people, and
others are roosting on the fences, waiting
to get a glimpse of you, because they
think you are ciazy. And well they might,
after reading your editorials. They are a
disgrace to journalism. Why, what put
it into your head that you could edit a
paper of this nature? You do not seem
to know the first rudiments of agricul
ture. You speak of a furrow and a har
row as being the same thing; you talk of
the moulting season for cows; and you
recommend the domestication of the pole
cat on account of its playfulness and its
excellence as a ratter. Your rcuiurk that
d ims will lie quiet if music he played to
them, was superfluous entirely superflu
ous. Nothing disturbs clams. Clams
nicrtin lie quiet. Clams care nothing
whatevorabout music. Ah, Heavens and
eartli, lrteml, it you had made the ac
quiring of ignorance the study of your
life, you could not have graduated with
higher honor than you could to-day. I
never saw anything like it. Your ob
servation that the horse-chestnut, as an
article of commerce, is steadily gaining in
favor, is simply calculated to destroy this
journal. 1 want you to throw up your sit
uation and go. '( want no more holiday
-I could not enjoy it, if I had it. Cer
tainly not with you in my chair. I would
always stand in dread of what you might
be going to recommend next. It makes
me lose all patience every time 1 think of
your discussing oyster beds under the
head of ' Landscape Gardening." I want
you to go. Nothing on earth could per
suade me to take another holiday. . Oh,
why didn't you Idl me you didn't know
anything about agriculture?"
" I knew there was no use in arguing
with a man who could talk so unreason
able, and so sorrowfully left him to con
duet his paper alter his old fogy nolioiii."
AFightinsr Man.
NEofthc generals of the '' Lost
J Cause" says that at the time of the
attack upon Port Pillow, tho Confederjte
had convened a Mississippi boat into a
cotton-clad, the mate of which wasa big
double fisted sample of a river-bully, full
of strong oaths," enforcing his orders by
knocking men about the head, and adds;
Just before we came into tho fi;ht, he
came swaggering up to me and said :
" Well, General, I , suppose when one
side or the other's licked, yo'ubi" men'll
quit and shake bands ?"
" Yes, Jim," said p " when the fight
ing is over J. expect every man to" go
homo and attend to his business."
"That ain't me," said Jim, smiting his
left palm with his fist liken sledge ham
mer, "for if I ever ketch a Yankee- south
of Cairo, I'm going to mash him."
A ten-inch shell that eauio whistliri"
over the boat interrupted any further re
marksjust then, and shortly after we
were puttinp away at the Federal boat
in about as hot a fire as I ever want to
see. I am sure that there was one huu
clred guns opened upon us and we got
one broadside so near that the flash of
their guns set our cotton bales on fire.
Our people fought well; the other side
was too much for us, and wo hud to drop
down the river. During the action,
while cannons were roaring, boats sink
ing, shells shrieking and bursting till
around, and the air filled wilh smike and
flame. I quite lost sight of Jim ; and
after wo had dropped down the river, out
ofthe fireand all hands were repairing dam
ages, that valiant hero crept out from be
hind a cotton bale, and sneaking past me
with a flag of truce, said :
" General, I an't so mnd us I was.
This ain't the kind of fightiu' I'm used
to ; and when them fellers get ready to
stop thrown' them iron pots around I'll
quit if they will.

"No sab, I runs." " Ihin at tho first
