Mrs. Turmoyle thought 'I tie noisy chorus of shouts, the eager recital pf the day's pleasures or acci dents related in her own nurserv, and wondered it Tom, Bessie and Mark could be trained to sit quictlv in one place for hours at a time.

A Kare-Il.-wli IlKler. The Bocbester, N. Y., D m-.trrat says: Caleb Harris, cf Hud?on, Mich., bears cfT the palm from all competitors in the daring and roman tic feat of barc-buk riding. He left Buffalo on the 17th inst, with two I car loads cf co s, purchased near Hudson, and destined for the fine dairy farms of Madison County, in this State. In the early part of the evening the long stock train stopped kt Fairport, as Mr Harris supposed for supper, and Le embraced the op portunity to look after the welfare of Ids stock, w hich was in the forward end of the train. Finding ail in good order, he waB about returning to the rear of the train, w hen unexpectedly the train started, and so rapidly that he deemed it hazardous to attempt to pet on the caboose when it should reach him. Resolved not to be left, he mounted the train at the risk of life and limb, and ecmmenctd walk ing back to the caboose, when he fell aud came near sliding off to the ground. He now resolved to make a virtue of necessity and ride to the next station "on deck." After brav ing the cold and wind and storm he feared he might freeze to death ia that exposed position, aud f.nding a trap-dxjr on the deck of the sheep car on which be stood he decided to "go below" and seek more comforta ble quarters among his wooley fellow travelers. Here he was foiled again, for the door, firmly fastened with ice or iron, refused to yield to bis at tempts to force it open. The only re maiuing chance was to "turn in" with his horned passengers smiglv stowed awav w ith "everv sittiii" tak- jea 8:5 't seemed to any observer. It suon, quua worf. ibe scuttle was ,,f,d d be lighted on the back of a fri.-kv voung Durham. Sheoli- Ijected to his rude intrusion in her quiet coach, and commenced to kick. She squirmed and twisted and fidg eted until Ending all her efforts futile, she began to "bellow." It was no use. The frightened animal was in a tight place, and our hero was mas ter of the situation, aud fully deter mined to bold out and to Lold on. Time seemed long, but on thun dered the train. At iength they ar rived at Syracuse, where our friend found a release frotn hi cattle-car "Pullman," to the joy no le of his companions in the caboose than of himself, aud be now congratulates himself as the champion bare-back rider cf the world, Laving ridden fif ty mile ia three hours on the unsad dled back of a cow.
