JEAXETTE8 HAIR.
"Oh, loosen the curls that you wear.
Jeanette,
Let me tangle my hand in your hair, ray
pet,"
For the world to me had no daintier
sight
Than your brown hair Tailing your shoul
ders white.
It was brown with s golden gloss, Jeanette,
It was finer than the Bilk of the floss, my
pet.
'Twas a beautiful mist falling down to your
wrist,
'Twas a thing to be braided and jeweled and
kissed,
'Twas the loveliest liair in the world, juy
pet.
My arm was the arm of a clown, Jeanette,
It was sinewy, bristled and brown, niy pet,
But warmly and softly it loved to caress
Your round white neck and your wealth of
tress.
Your beautiful plenty of hair, my pet.
Your eyes had a swimming glory, Jeanette,
Revealing the old, dear story, my pet
Tbey were gray with the chastened tinge of
the sky
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the
fly.
And they matched with your golden hair,
my pet. .
Yonr lij but I have no words, Jeanctle,
They were fresh as the twitter of birds, my
pet,
When the spring is young, and the roses arc
wet
With the dew-drops in each red bosom
set.
And they suited your golden-brown hair,
my pet.
Oh, you tangled my life in your hair,
Jeanette,
'Twas a silken and golden snare, my
pet,
But so gentle the bondage, my soul did
implore
The right to continue your slave ever
more,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my
pet.
Thus ever I dream what on were, Jean
ette, With your lii and your eyes and yonr
hair, my pet,
In the darkness of desolate years 1 moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

Al'XT JEAN'S MISTAKE.
'Oh, dear! It is too pleasant to
stay in the house to-day, said Kitty
Ford. "Aunt Jean, couldn't I go
berrying up in the pasture lot ?"
"Nonsense!" said Aunt Jean.
"With the back bedroom to be
whitewashed, and the churning to
be done, and the quilt to be got ready
for the frames. I'm surprised at you,
Catharine."
Kitty linked with lom?inz eves at
t ha creprnrio- tides of sunshine on the
hill, the great shadows that the ap
ple tree boughs made, swaying on
the ijrass.
There was a catbird singing in the
manioc Kitty wished that iust for
fl tt hil nhp could be that catbird.
and dwell in a glorious region of
gTeen leaves, where churning, wniie-
wash pails and quilting Dees were
unknown.

stone walls like tiny soldiers, with
wild roses opening in solitary nooKs,
t h strawberries rinenine in fragrant
wood openings on the hill.
As these tempting thoughts pass
ed across her mind, she heard Aunt
Jean's shrill voice at the back door,
talking to some one.
"A nainter. eh ?" said she. "Oh,
yes, you'r welcome to a'drink of wa
ter, lou can draw it, iresh ana
cool, for yourself. The well's out
thn hie butternut tree. A
painter did you say? P'raps you can

"Certainly, ma'am !" said a deep,
pleasant voice.
Kitty leaned lorwara logei a peep
at the possessor of that clear, soft
tenor.

of nnck stranned on his back, and
something resembling a magnified

and harder oi neanng every aay.
"Well," said Aunt Jean, "I do be

encaged Perkins Polk to whitewash
the back bedroom to-day, but he
hasn't come near me. And here it is
nine o'clock. I don't lelieve he

be willing to give you your dinner
and a quarter of a dollar for the job..
nd I can't say more liberal than
that.
Aunt Jean was awaiting the decis
ion of the young man, with one
hand back of her ear, when Kitty
walked in, her Dngnt eyes spanning
with mirth, her cheeks roev.and her
' - i '
lirs uursed op in the . desperate at
tempt not to smile.
" 1 ou II please excuse Auni jean,
hit good man," said she. "We don't
want anything to-day. There was a
peddler along on Saturday, and we
bought all that we required."
The young roan Horton Leigh
was the name stamped in gilt letters
on the inside of his color box look
ed from grim Aunt Jean to pretty
Kitty, and made up his mind ' at
once.
"Pardon me." he said, "but I am
not a peddler. And if you will al
low me i shall be very giaato un
dertake the job."
. "The sooner the better," said
Aunt Jean, briskly. "I s'pose you
aint got your overalls with you.
That don't make anv difference.
There's a pair up stairs that belong-
ed to Hiram xiarxness, wno worgea
fT ii o nrm rell. and a iumner iacket
that Billy Barlow wore, who ran
away ana joined the gypBies, over
six months ago. Kitty, run up
stairs and fetch them. And the
young man can go in the barn and
. .. tlf tl V 1 Hal
put them on. well, I ao can mis

Anrl in Wi than five minutpi the
young man was mounted on a lad

wash brush, Kitty ord was ccum

good, early start on Monday morn
ing," said Aunt Jean.
At twelve o'clock the back bed
room was whiter and sweeter than
any lily, the butter had "come," the
quilt was satistactoruy arranged, and
the whole family sat down to a sa
vory meal of fried 'chicken, white
bread, milk and strawberry short
cakn.
"You seem to bea verr respecta
ble voung man," said Aunt Jean,
critically surveying the stranger. "If
vou d like to stay here and do
chores for your board, you might
sleep in the barn chamber, and 1
could recommend you to do white
washing jobs for the neighbors. Dea
con Dowd's house ndeds a good coat
of paint, badly, and I'm most sure
that widow Elnathau'Trueby would
like her barn painted" to match the
new house." " '
"I am greatly obliged to you,"
said the young man, toying with a
particularlvlarseberry.'butl do not
execute orders in mat Drancn. x am
an artist" '
"A which ?" said Aunt Jean.
"An artist. Shall I show vou
some of my sketches 7"
Aunt Jean put on her spectacles
at once. '
"Well, I don't object to look at
them," said she. "But I won't prom
ise to buy. We got a very pretty
chromo with the last pound of tea
we bought, and Kitty cuts pictures
out of the illustrated papers and
pastes them on stone, jars.'
Mr. Leigh laughed. "
"Oh, I don't expect to make a
sale." said be. "All tnese are merely
first ideas, jotted down in the crudest
of fashions, lo speax the train, my
real object in calling here this morn
ing was to ask permission to sketch
those picturesque ruins down bv the
old road." '
"Oh !" "said Aunt Jean ; "the old
smithy. Dear, dear, there ain't
nothing but a tumble down stone
wall and a few mullen stalks left
there. Ef you could wait till next
spring, Elihu Lewis means to put up
a first class blacksmith s shop. Jdui
vour welcome to do all the sketching
you want"
Kitty s eyes sparkled.
"I wish I was an artist," said she,
as she turned over the bits of mill
board, all of which were instinct
with life and beauty, r
"Well," 6aid Aunt' Jean, compla
cently, "why shouldn't you be? I
dare say this young man can show
you how he does it" '
Kittv looked at the ycune man :
the young man looked at kitty, and
then both burst into a hearty peal
of laughter, to Aunt Jean's great
mystification. ....
"Oh. auntv." said Kitty, still chok
ing behind her pocket handkerchief,
'that isn't the way irturta : are
made." '
Half an hour later. Kitty Ford was
out on the green, feeding her little
downy ducklings with scalded meal,
when Judge Laughington s carriage
drove up.
Kitty left the tin pail fall in her
dismay. To her, Miss Laughington,
in her summer silks and diamonds,
long white plumes and eight button
ed kid gloves, represented all that
was adorable.
How she regretted that she still
wore her old blue jrinbam gown, and
that her curls were all tangled by the
sweet, soft wind.
"Don't run away, Kitty, dear,"
said Mies Laughinpton, beckoning
with her ivory handled parasoL
"You are the very girl I want to see.
Mv cousin. Mr. Leigh, is coming
down this way to-day, to sketch. I
have told him about those pretty
old ruins of the blacksmith shop ;
so, if he comes past here "
"Oh. Miss Laughington, cried
Kitty, turning as scarlet as the big
bunch of peonies at the corner of the
house, "he has come already. And
Aunt Jean set him to whitewashing
and paid him a quarter of a dollar
and gave him his dinner. Oh, how
could we have made such a blun
der?" "Blunder, child, where's the blun
der ? If Horton wants to do a thing
he'll do it If not the whole world
couldn't compel him."
And after the glistening carriage
had rolled away, Kittv Ford sat
down and cried.
Judge Lauehington's daughter
drove oiit theruined smithy, where
Mr. Leigh was composedly "putting
in" the lights and shadows of the
old chimney and the mullen stalks.
But she went back to the stately
"court" with a bent brow and an ill
pleased expression of face.
"Ilorton is so awiully eccentric,
said she. "There's no knowing what
ridiculous whim he will take up
next"
For Mr. Leigh had declined to ac
cept the hospitalities of the court.
"You always have such loads of
company there, Antonio," said he,
"and I prefer quiet. No I'll come
up and see you. when the spirit
moves me ; but I'll pitch my tent in
this secluded dale. It will be better
for real, steady work."
For Kitty Ford's deep, liquid eyes
still haunted his brain.
"The prettiest girl I ever saw," he
kept repeating to himself. "A pure
spirit, dwelling in a lily like temple.
I must see more of her; I must
sketch her as 'Una.' "
So be went back that night, just
as the dew was falling and tbe whip-poor-wills
were beginning to sing,
and asked Aunt Jean if he could oc
cupy the little room over the kitch
en, where the brick chimney perked
itself out, and tbe one little window
looked directly into the boughs of
the old pear tree.
"Oh, I don't care," said good Aunt
Jean. "It's Kitty that does the
housework. She must decide the
matter."
"We are plain people, " said Kitty,
involuntarily blushing ; "but"
"Then I may came,'! said Ilorton
Leigh.
People were very much surprised
when Horton Leigh brought a blue
eyed country maiden to preside over
his city mansion, the next fall.
. But Kitty Ford, secure in her in
nocent happiness, never knew how
many tears Antonio Laughington
had shed over her cousin's wedding
card.. :.
And Aunt Jean makes her boast
that Kitty has "store carpets in ev
ery one of her rooms and a carriage
of her own."
"He's a painter," said Aunt Jean
to her friends. "Not a house painter,
hut a picture painter. And he knows
how to white wash a ceiling equal to
Perkins Polk. I guess there ain't no
fear but that he'll make his way in
the world. Any way, Kitty loves
him, and that's enough."
Fishing aa a Fine Art.
Horace Greeley was always going
a-fishing, but he never went, and a
busy life abruptly terminated. The
tensioned cords which received no
relaxation, suddenly snapped asun
der. There . is no other diversion,
perhaps, which affords so much re
laxation for men of all nations,
classes and ages of people, as fishing
in all its various ways and methods.
Some idea may be derived ef the
large attention which fishing has re
received, from the fact that the
" Bibliothica Piscatoria," just pub
lished, gives the names of 2,406
different volumes on fishing. Per
haps the most interesting of all of
these, next to Izaak Walton, is the
volume soon to be brought out in
this country, written by the late Da
vid Foster, of Burton-on-Trent
England, who gives vivid descrip
tions of salmon, trout, and pike fish
ing. The superiority of fly-fishing
over all other systems of angling is,
ke claims, universally acknowl
edged. The ever-existing nature of surface
fishing adds a zest to the sport, un
known to the other branches of the
art piscatorial. The high pitch of
expectation experienced as the
rising fish daintily " plop " off the
insects around, extends a highly ex
hilarating influence over both mind
and body. The whole of the facul
ties are thus concentrated in one
focus, ever stimulating to still great
er earnestness and efficiency. It is
owing to these characteristics, this
scope for science and skill, that this
sport 'is and has been the chosen
recreation of men of the greatest
celebrity and the highest attain
ments of modern times. Since tbe
time of Walton the angler's skiil has
advanced wondrously, while keen
ness ot perception and wariness
have developed amongst the deni
zens of the liquid elements in a
degree quite proportionate.
Ihe adept at flying for trout,
when at work in real earnest upon
the banks of a well stocked stream,
is a striking figure, exemplary of
the true fisherman. . The gracefully
erect though expectant attitude,
the latter assumed upon the deliv
ery of the fly, the slender pliable rod,
the long floating line and the gossa
mer gut, combine to constitute an
ideal rodster.. v--..-..'- -A
thorough command of the. rod
and line is as essential and import
ant as the wielding of the whip in
the case ol a tandem or four-in-
hand driver. The most skillful cast
known in Europe wielded the whip ;
we refer to the famous Royal coach
man, Tom Bosworth ; Old Tom had
in the early part of hia life,- driven
three British Sovereigns, viz. : The
Fourth George, the Fourth William,
and finally, for a lengthened period,
Her Majesty Uueen V ictoria. As a
successful fisherman, Old Tom was
unsurpassed. He would often fish
in the wake of several rodsters,
whose energy would exceed their
skill, and would extract not infre
quently three times their weight of
hsh, by skiillully and carelully cast
ing over the awkward and most un
likely looking spots, which the
majority of anglers would rarely
think of trying. A favorite freak of
his with the whip was to take the
pipe from the teeth of a passing pe
destrian by a carefully calculated
whirl of the lash, and this aptitude
was as remarkably exemplified, for
a limited distance, in the use of the
rod. Bosworth originated the Coach
man Fly, so much appreciated lor
night fishing. American AgricuUur

A Romantic Story.
About thirty years ago a farmer
residing in a township near Spring
field, Ohio, named Maxwell, visited
a deserted coal bank in the neigh
borhood, attracted thither by 6heer
idle curiosity. He stood at the
slope opening for a time and then
started to walk down it, when at
the entrance to this dark and gloomy
place he saw a bucket He picked
it up, and soon there came from it
the tender and suppressed cries of
an infant He carried it to the light,
and then after removing the wrap-
f ings he saw a sweet little babe
ooking into his eyes as if it wanted
to say: " Please take pity on me. I
am a poor little outcast without a
home. Won't you take me out and
love and take care of me?" Mr.
Maxwell was a young married man
with a large generous heart, and
having then no children of his own
he took the little waif home with
him, and he and Mrs. Maxwell took
care of it as parents love, their own
children. The little foundling grew
to be a beautiful and accomplished
young lady, and she repaid her foster
parents with an abundance of affec
tion and tender devotion.' Twenty
years had come and gone, when one
day a young man called at the house
of the Maxwells and declared that
the babe found in tbe coal bank was
his sister, and that he had come
from a pleasant home in Iowa to see
her, and if possible persuade her to
return with him. Their mother had
died a few months ago, and on her
deathbed she told how she had hid
the babe in the coal bank, and of
Mr. Maxwell finding it, and all
about it, and made a dying request
that the family should hunt the
child up and claim her. The Max
wells were well pleased with the
young man, and he remained with
them several weeks. When he re
turned to his western home he took
his sister with him. He also took
the promise of one of Mr. Maxwell's
daughters that she, too, would share
his home and fortune ere long This
promise was kept

Coarttnf,
Whenever a man goes courting,
everybody seems to know all about
it His demeanor tells the observant
spectator the business he is intent
upon. He just mightas well placard
himself with the legend, " I go a
courting." Every one is cognizant
of it, and looks knowing, and asks
him " if the northern lights were
bright last night, say about 1
o'clock ?" and a score of other ques
tions equally out of place. "We
haye in our family at present, says a
contemporary, " a young maa who
is deeply we trust successfully
engaged in courting ; and our warm
est sympathies have been aroused
for him.. When Sunday afternoon
arrives it is plain to see that some
thing is about to happen. Our
young man is fidgety and non-communicative,
and cannot sit in one
place a half-minute at a time. He
is continually interviewing his watch
and comparing it with the old
eight-day clock in the corner. He
looks in the glass frequently and
draws his forehead locks first back
and then forward, and combs them
up and puts them down, and is un
satisfied throughout The smell of
bayrum and bergamot is painlully
apparent. When he shakes out his
handkerchief musk is perceptible.
His boots shine like mirrors'. There
is a faint odor of cardamon seeds in
hia breath when he yawns. He
smoothes his budding moustache
w;th affectionate pats, and feels his
invisible whiskers continually, to
make sure they are still there a
fact wh'.ch is not established to out
side observers by the sense of sight.
He tries on all his stock of neckties
without finding what is just the
thing, and he has spasms of brush

violence, and lasts till one grows
nervous for fear the broadcloth will
never be able to stand it He de

says it's because he doesn't feel hun

are onions in it, and onnns, as
every one knows, do not sweeten
one's breath to any great extent If
spoken to on a sudden he will start
and blush, and looks aa guilty as if
he had been caught stealing some
thing ; and directly if one does not
speak to him he goes back to the
delightful occupation of staring at
nothing, and waiting for the hour
hand to creep around to seven.
And at seven he sets forth, clean
and tidy from tip- to toe, looking
precisely as if he had just stepped
out of a bandbox.
Mother.
A father talking to his careless
daughter said :
"I want to speak to you of yonr
mother. It may be that you noticed
a careworn look upon her face lately.
Of course it has not been brought
there by any act of yours, still it is
your duty to chase it away. I want
you to get up to morrow morning
and get breakfast, and when your
mother comes and begins to express
her surprise, go right up to her and
kiss her on the mouth. You can't
imagine how it will brighten her
dear face. Besides, you owe her a
kiss or two. Away back, when you
were a little girl, she kissed you
when no one else was tempted by
J'our fever tainted breath and bwoI
en face. You were not as attractive
then as you are cow. And through
those years cf childish sunshine
and shadows she was always ready
to cure, by the magic of a mother's
kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands
whenever they were injured in those
first skirmishes with the rough old
world. And then the midnight kiss
es with which she routed so many
bad dreams as she leaned above
your restless pillow, have all been
on interest these long, long years.
Of course, she is not so pretty and
kissable as you are, but if you had
done your snare of work during the
last ten years the contrast would not
have been so marked. Her face has
more wrinkles than yours, far more;
and yet if you were sick that face
would appear more beautiful than an
angles as it hovered over you, watch
ing every opportunity to minister to
your comfort, and every one of those
wrinkles would seem to be bright
wavelets of sunshine chasing each
other over the dear face. She will
leave you one of these days. These
burdens, if not lifted from her
shoulders, will break her down.
Those rough, hard hands, that have
done so many necessary things for
you, will be crossed upon her lifeless
breast Those neglected lips that
gave you your first baby kiss, will
be forever closed, and those sad,
tired eyes will have opened in eter
nity, and then you will appreciate
your mother; but it will be too late.

Butter Records of Jersey Cow.
The Jersey and Guernsey cows
naturally give milk Pof the richest
quality, and the product in butter is
not only large but in texture and
flavor far superior to that from any
other breed. The prices paid for
bulla and heifers within the past
two or three years have been very
large, not because the cows are bet
ter than they were before, but be
cause the eagerness evinced by buy
ers to procure certain strains has
given an upward tendency to all.
Jerseys are divided by reputation
into several families of excellent an
imals ; but although such distinction
is made, it is due to individual ad
miration of the descendants of such
noted animals as Countess, Alphea,
Pansy, Coomassie and others. So
close has been the breeding of Jer
seys that nearly all of them are re
lated to each other, and so eager are
breeders to infuse blood of certain
strains into their herds that they
breed indiscriminately so tar as re
lationship is concerned, it being
nothing uncommon for a bull to be
the sire of a calf, the sire of its dam,
and sometimes tf its grand dam also.
The breeding together of brother and
sister seems to invoke no opposition
whatever, and while the system of
breeding practiced has no doubt
tended to fix the qualities of the sev
eral families, and thereby enable
them to more firmly transmit such
to their offspring, yet it cannot be
denied that the time will arrive when
the injurious effects of such close in
breeding will be manifested in the
weakened constitutions and lack of
hardiness.
So far as the butter tests are con
cerned much depends upon the sys
tem of feeding. If the best cow of
all was merely valued for that which
she would produce in the shape of
butter she would fall far below the
prices paid, but her value extends
in another direction. She is the re
sult of a selection, and is made the
foundation upon which to build still
a higher grade of animals, her value
then being beyond estimation. The
ordinary firmer is liable to failure
in attempting to reach the high rec
ords attained by eminent Jersey
cows, for the tests are only made un
der the most favorable conditions,
but the farmer can make a very de
cided improvement in his herd of
cows with the use of bulla of this
breed, even with those that sell for
low figures.
. The best butter records are those
of Jersey Belle of Scituate (Countess
family,) which produced 25 pounds
and 3 ounces in one week; Alphta,
24 pounds 8 ounces Value (Pansy
family,) 24 pounds 4 ounces ; Mollie
Garfield, 22 pounds 12 ounces : Bom-
ba, 21 pounds 12 ounces, and Euro-
tas, 22 pounds 7 ounces. Eurotas
gave 88 pounds iu thirty-one days,
and in one year her yield was 778
pounds. There are many other
cows that have made records all the
way from 10 pounds up to 20, and
such yields are no longer regarded
as extraordinary. The results are
evidences of what careful breeding
will do, and say what we may
against the injudicious system of in
breeding which has been practiced,
it cannot be denied that improve
ment has overbalanced the mistakes.
The Jerseys are small, delicate,
deer-like cows, with soft, velvety
skin and well defined escutcheons.
They mature early and come in
profit before they are two years old.
They are not adapted for beef pro
duction, nor do they present a full
round appearance, but for the spec
ial purposes to which they are in
tended have no equal.
Setting Ont Vegetable Plants.
I haye a neighbor who grows
plants of cabbage, celery tomato,
pepper, etc., for sale. One rainy day
in May people come under stream
ing umbrellas to get the plants they
wish to set out It "fashes" me to see
how they mismanage. It is all very
well for the plants to be carried in
the rain, if they can be set out with
out maring the leaves or hardening
the ground; but very often the
tender tomato, and even egg-plants
are taken along in the cold rain to
be set out at the same time as the
others. Of course they lose color or
change color, showing thit growth
has stopped, and once Btopped it
does not recover in time to gain the
benefits of the fine weather of early
June. The plants become too sick to
grow, and never make any good re
turns. I notice a few but a slowly
increasing number of persons who
plant before the rain, when a tramp
ling of tbe bed does good instead of
harm, making the fine mold still
finer. They cany their plants in a
bucket with a little water covering
the roots. Well filled with this
water they do not wilt even in sun
shine, if the ground is so fine as to
close up well around the roots : the
sunshine on the con try starts growth
promptly ; new roots quickly issue
in the fine, humid soil, and growth
goes on almost unchecked. A great
advantage of this method is that no
leaves are soiled by being handled
with muddy fingers nor are the
stems bent and strained by being
carried by the neck or waist, bead
and feet hanging and swingging
about Some of the more painstak
ing and successful use the excellent
precaution of laying paper or leaves,
tr rags, or slate, or glass, like a little
patch of carpet, upon the soil around
each plant and then watering from
a can with a fine rose. This secures
a rinsing and cleansing of the leaves
while no splash is thrown against
them, and tbe surface close around
them is not hardened or crusted, yet
is gradually made moist by the wa
ter soaking inward from the edge of
this mulcb. In this way, too, the
soil remains moist as well as loose.
The firs) care in transplanting should
be to prevent the plant from flagging,
by keeping it growing on ; planting
it when the air conditions are most
favorable to its constitution as, usual
ly, about Jane 1 to 10, for tomatoes,
eta, and 10 to 18 for egg-plants.

A Story From Cramp.
Mr. Crump, the Stewart at the
White House during General Gar
field's administration, and one of the
most faithful nurses, is now keeping
a dining room in the old club house
building on New York avenue, in
this city. He tells many interesting
reminiscences of President Garfield's
last illness, one of which is ol the
day when the President first asked
for a glass of cold water. Crump re
lates that the physicians had forbid
den him water, but the poor uau
begged so hard and so pitiful like
that I had frequently to leave the
room to keep from violating the doc
tor's orders. When he found that
pleading would not serve his ends,
then he assumed n authoritative
tone, and I instantly became deaf.
Then he tried persuasion and cajol
ing ; but I would'nt weaken until he
suddenly called me to him in a low
voice, and, with tears in his eyes,
said :
"Crump, would you refuse a dy
ing man a drink of water?"
"No, Mr. President, but you are
not dying."
"But, Crump," he added feebly,
"if you do not give it to me I wiil
die, and he closed his eyes. I
couldn't stand that, and I couldn't
disobey the doctors.. But somehow
or another, I just set a glass of spring
water on the table by his bed, and
went to the window ; and, hang me,
when I returned if the glass wasn't
empty, and the President wanted to
know, with a smile, what I meant by
tantalizing him by placing a glass
with no water in it within his reach
and he so thirsty. However, he
never asked for any more that day,
and I am certain if he did drink that
water it did him no harm."
Not Insulted.
"That man to whom you sent me
insulted me," said a young drum
mer, who had only been a few weeks
in the business to his trainer in a
large house in the city.
"Insulted you," reiterated the
trainer, with an expression of con
tempt almost sufficient to make the
novice sink into the floor.
"Were you never insulted ?" tim
idly responded the young drum
mer. "Never, sir ; not even during the
period of my novitiate, which pass
ed through very rapidly, and I have
been twenty years in the business."
"Ihatisvery strange," said the
drummer.
"Very strange if you don't under
stand it," ferociously observed the
old drummer. "I have been often
badly abused. I have been ordered
feremptorily to leave the premises,
have been frequently knocked
down for standing on the ordtir of
my going, and several times I have
been unceremoniously kicked down
stairs ; but," lie continued, gazing
fiercely and triumphantly at the
younc; man, "I have never been in
sulted. The moment a drummer
feels himself insulted he is no long
er fit for business."

"there i3 not a tune in our collection
of the same metre as thia hymn."
"Is that all, sir?" he asked with
great dignity; "then why, may I ask,
do you net sing a tune in some oth
er metre?"

A Nibble of Salt.
If horses, cattle, and sheep could
have salt for them to lick or nibble
at all times as they desired, while in
stable yard, or pasture, they would
escape various diseases and be more
thrifty and useful than when de
prived of it, or even given irregular
ly. Swine and poultry are better
for having a little pure brine mixed
up with their food. Since we have
made this a regular practice, we have
never lost an animal from disease of
anykind, and only a few fowls, and
these later would not have become
sick, had they not unfortunately got
at an uncovered sink hole, where
they picked out bits of decompos
ing bread and vegetables, a small
quantity of which had got there
from the dish-water. The rock salt
that comes in large lumps, and may
be bought at low rates by the ton, is
excellent for live stock. Boxes for
this salt may be arranged by the
sides of the mangers and in the pas
ture. They will need filling at dis
tant intervals.
