Arnold ia bis recent "Life of Lin
cola" telln that he0 lhe ,ad Abr'
ham was in his eighth year, be was
large, UlL and strong for his age.
The first thing he had learned to
as was the axe and rifle, and with
these he was already able to render
important assistance to hu parents
in building up thnr home. In these
years be wore a cap made of the skin
of the coon or squirrel, buckskin
breeches, a hunting shirt of deer
8kioe, or a linsey-woolsey shirt, and
yery coarse rawhide shoes. His food
was the "corn dodger" and the game
of tie forest and prairies. The tools
he most constantly used were the
axe, the maul, the hoe and the plow.
Kis life was one of constant and
hard manual labor.
When Lincoln was a young man,
working as a clerk in a country gro
cery store, his employer used to of
ten boast that his clerk knew niore
than any other man it. the United
States, and could outrun, whip, or
throw anv man in the country.
These boasts came to the ears of the
Clary Grove boys, a set of rude,
bolstering, good-natured fellows,
who lied in and around Clary's
Grove," a settlement near New Sa
lem. Their leader was Jack Arm
Strong, a great, sqaaie-built fellow,
strong as an ox, and who was be
lieved by his partisans to be able to
whip any man on the Sangamon
river. The isue was thus made be
tween Lincoln and Armstrong as to
which was the better man, and al
though Lincoln tried to avoid such
contests, nothing but an actual trial
could settle the question among their
partisans. And so they met end
wre?t!ed for some time, without any
decided advantage on either side,
finally Jack resorted to some foul
play which rouetJ Lincoln's indig
nation. Tutting forth his whole
strength, he seized tbe creat Dull V

at arms lenjtb, shook him like a j went away in a bun, au de call lor

longed to Lincoln. Lincolu's popu
larity with them was unbounded,
and his rule was just. He would
have fair play, and he repressed the
violence and brutality of these rough
fellows to an extent which would
have heed impossible to another
man. He could stop a fight and
quell a riot among these rude neigh
bors when all others failed.
What made Lincoln so popular
with the Clary Grove Boys? He
did not use tobacco, nor driuk, nor
gamble, nor fight except when he
was obliged to, and yet the rough
fellows almost worshipped him. He
treated them like men, and always
brought out the best there was in
them. They felt his moral and in
tellectual superiority, but they also
felt that he did not despise them.
In a certain sense he was one of
them, but he was their ideal, their
hero.
These facts show the sort of a
young man Lincoln was, in spirit
and physique. Of his intellectual
acquirements we may get an idea
from the fact that his principal
reading was " Pilgrim's Progress "
Weeing " Life of Washington,"

Ad old friend tells of the time
when Lincoln with juite a party of i
lawyers was riding two by two along
a country road. He says : "Lincoln
and John J. Harden brought up the
rear of the cavalcade. We had pass
ed through a thicket of wild plum
and crab-apple trees, and stopped to
water our horses. Harden came up
alone.
"'Where is Lincoln,' we inquired? j

"The party laughed at him, but
he 6aid: 'I could not have slept if I
had Dot restored those little birds to

No doubt the tenderness was in
herited from his mother, and also
imbibed frota. her teaching. She
had found time amidst her weary
toil and the hard struggle of a busy
life, not only to teach him to read
and writc.but to impress iuefTaceably
upon him that love of truth and
justice;, that perfect integrity, and
reverence of God, for which he was
noted All his life. These virtues
were ever associated in his mind
with the most tender love and re
spect for kis mother. "All that I
am, or hope to be," he said, I owe
4o my angel mother."

Street Scene in Naples.

he never entered a building. The
curious garbs of tho ecclesiastics,
who seem to form a large proportion
of the inhabitants, the grotesque
appearance of tbe atreet venders,
with their wares piled up above
their beads, and hanging to all parts
of their bodies, the brilliant dresses
of the middle-class women, and the
fantastic costumes of the beggars,
who are picturesque in their very
nakedness, give variety to the scene.
The cat's-meat man, with his viands
1 strung on long pole, from which
he detaches apiece and carves it
with his knife for each of his four
footed clients, is a most extraordina
ry sight. The public scribe, pro
tected from the rays of the sun by
an umbrella, as he sits at a table
inditing a love-letter, perhaps, for a
Neapolitan damsel as beautiful as
she i illiterate, is useful as well as
picturesque. Another remarkable
personage is the cigar scavenger, who
at night goes about with his lantern
hunting for old stumps, which he
sells to manufacturers to be convert
ed into the filling for fresh cigars.
To these mav be added the z3mpo-
enari or bacpipers. and a host of
other surious characters, ranging
anywhere from a cardinal, attired in
crimson and riding in a gilded
coach, to a baby, bound up, after the
manner of Neapolitan babies, in the
ftraitest of 6waddling clothes, and
looking more like a roll of linen just
come from a draper's shop than a
human being.
The advent of the zampoguari in
Naples always heralds the approach
of one of tbe more important Church
festivals. They come from their
distant homes in the mountains of
the Abruzzi to Naples and the sur
rounding towns to celebrate the
Immaculate Conception and the
advent of Christmas. Wearing
pointed felt hats, wrapped iu long
brown cloaks, under which occa
sionally appears a g):it-3kin jiclcet
adorned with large metal buttons,
their legs encased in tight-fitting
breeches as far us the knee, and their
feet adorned with rags fa-tened by
leather thongs about the ankle and
calf, tnev are most picturesque oh
jects. Thus attired, the zampognari
go from hou-e to house, singing and
playing before the iittle gilded im
ages of the Virgin and the Cbild,
and stopping before the street
shrines, where they repeat their mo
notonous song. On Christmas Eve,
when there is a spirit of liberality
abroad, the zimpognari usually re
ceives a large number of coppers,
and as much iu the way of food and
drink as his stomach can accommo
date. When the festival is over they
return to their mountain homes,
there to pass their time as loborers
or shepherds until the next occurs.

What the Georgia Bloodhound Caa
io.
To begin ith, the Georgia blood
hound dots not quarry bis game,
unless it is a rabbit a small rabbit.
He is neither fierce ncr powerful. A
boy can hold a pack off with a corn
stalk. But for trailing a fugitive
for hugging him close as his shadow
or for flying along his track when
even the grans has forgotten its im
press, and the wind has powdered it
over with dust, he is as relentless as
death itself. Let me tell you what
he can do, and he can be made to
do this any fair day at Oldtown
camp. A convict sleeping iu one
bunk of a hundred shod and clad
precisely as the hundred convicts
about him, may slip his chain and
flee. Ten miles away he may meet
his fellow prisoner again, may run
to and fro among them, may walk
with them a mile and leave them.
Six hours after, these hounds put on
his track where he slipped from the
camp, will follow him to where he
m,et his fang, will tread his track in
and about with their hundreds of
tracks, tske it up where he leaves
ttiem and run him down, though he
cross convict gangs every mile he
runs. This escaping convict, clad
in stripes cut from ti.e same bolt
with a hundred other, may run
through the woods, touching weeds
and bust es as he runs. Fifty con
victs, clad as he was clad, may run
through the same woods in every
direction. The dogs will hold his
scent running full tilt, breast high.
If be ir.akes a curve of forty-five de
grees the dogs wiil uot run the line,
but will catch his scent thirty yards
away and cross the angle, though it
were filled with convicts who had
eaten and slept with the fugitive.
Often a dog will carry ascent in a
gallop, running parallel thirty yards
to the windward. An uncanny and
terrible little beast is the redbone
hound, trained for the hunting of
man.

William Was Headstrong.
A father at Sedalia, Mo., discover
ed, a few days ago, that bis only
daughter was in love with a New
York drummer, and that the wed
ding day bad been set. He had
scarcely seen the man, and his con
sent had neither been asked nor
given. He at once put his foot down
and demanded :
"What do you know about this
man. anvhow?"
"Whv. father, he eeU a salary of
$100 per month and can beat the
firm in expense account so as to
bring it up to $125. He is just as
nice as can be."
But he mav have a wife already.
(.Have you ever asked the question ?"'
I never thought of it."
"Well, I've heard he had one at
St. Joseph, and I'm going to see.
No mau can play bigamy on my
family if this court knows herself."
In due time he reached St. Joseph
and began his inquiries, and in a
few hours was directed to a woman
who acknowledged she waa Mrs.
Blank.
"Married for sure, and got a cer
tificate ?" he asked.
"O yes. We have been married
most a year."
"And do you know that he is en
gaged to my daughter and wants to
marry her next month ?"
"No, I did not was the reply. "I
never seek to pry into his affairs."
"Well, I'm telling you facts. The
infernal scoundrel wants to marry
my daughter! Just think of his
cheek !
"Yes, William was always singu
lar," she remarked.
"Singular! Why. how can you
take his conduct so coolly ? I ex
pected to see you faint dead away.
You don't seem to care much about
it."
"Well, to be frank with you," she
replied." Wil'iam had a wife iu
Kansas City and another in Chica
go when he married me, and I have
no right to complain. I think he
means well, but is rather head
strong." "And you wou't do anything to
prevent this new marriage?"
"I can't uuder the circumstances,
as I have concluded to leave him
and marry a Philadelphia drummer
and 20 east with him. I will write
to William and advise him not to
marry your daughter, but he is very
headstrong."
"Great heavens !" gasped the fath
er. ' Please don'L I have a headache,
and you will upset my nerves. As
I was saying, I wiil write to him. but
I presume you will 20 home to find
that she has aiready eloped with and
married him. William prefer
elopements to all other styles, and I
presume that was what he wanted
of the last 825 I sent him.".
The old man rushed to the tele
graph office and wired home the in
quiry : "Is Mary home ?" In about
half an hour, as he walked up and
down with the sweat gluing his un
dershirt to his spine, the answer
came back :

If the acre lias been enriched Bnd
ploughed twice as deeply as I
have already suggested, but little
more is necessary in planting J
than to excavate a hole large enough
to receive the roots spread out in
their natural positions. Should no
such thorough and general prepara
tion have been made, or if the soil
is hard, poor and siony, the owner
will find it to his advantage to dig a
good-sued hole three or four feet
across and two deep, filling in and
around the tree with fine, rich surr
face soil. If he can find some thor
oughly decomposed compost or ma
nure, for instance as the scrapings of
the barn-yard, or rich black soil
from an old pasture, to mix with the
earth beneath and around the root,
the good effects will be seen speed
ily, but in no instance should raw
manure from the stable, or anything
that must decay before becoming
plant faod, be brought in contact
with the roots. Again I repeat my
caution against planting too deeply
one of the commonest and most
fatal errors. Let the tree be set
about as deeply as it stood before
removal. If the tree be planted ear
ly in the spring, as it should be,
there will be moisture enough in
the soit, but if planting is delayed
until the ground b?s become rather
dry and warm, apnil of .Uer pour
ed about its roots when the hole has
been nearly filled wiK be beneficial.
Now that the tree is planted, any
kind of course manure spread to the
depth ot two or three inches on the
burfafi as a mulch is very useful.
Stake at once o protect against the
wind.--. Do not make he common
mistake of planting too closely, pbr
serve the area shaded bv full grown
trees, aud you will learn the folly of
crowding. Moreover, dense shade
about the house is not desirable.
There should be space for plenty of
air and sunshine. 1 he fruit of one

should be thirty feet apart. Tears,
the dwarfer growing cherries, plums,

spaces. In ordering from the nur
series insist on straight,-shapely and
young trees, say three years from the
bud. Also require that there shoujd
be an abundance of fibrous and un.

i Easter is observed among all
Christian people as the anniversary
'of the great event of the resurrection
j of Christ. He was dead, but return
ed to life. The egj is taken as em
blematic of areturu to U.e. It is to
all appearance dead, but we know
that if placed under proper condi
tions, life will come forth from it.
Theue of eggs 8t Easter was adopt
ed from an usage older than our
era. It was tbe custom in very
early times to celebrate the return
of spring by making presents 'of eges.
Why does uot Easter always fall
upon a fixed day. Christmas is al
ways oji December 25th,why should
not Easter he fixed with equal cer
tainty? Easter must always be on
Sunday. It is not a particular date
that is observed, but a particular
Sunday. Mow to decide upon the
Sunday, gave the very early
churches much trouble, and there
were differences on that account,but
the matter was settled at a council
held at.Nice, ia the rear 325. The
rule wa3 adapted that: ,'Eister day
is alwavs the first Sundav after the
full moon, which happens upon or
next after March 21st. and if the
full moon happens on a Sunday,
Ei.-ter day is the next Sunday after.
Thistivts Eit-ter day a wide range
of dates, as it may occur on any
Snndav from Marcii 22nd to April
23th.9
