That wann't the troable. 0d stocking there was for which Santa Claus had not yet tlanned a sioe thing ; anil that was why poor dear o! l Santa Clans was in each s state of worry and anxiety. The stocking belonged t a little boy whose parents had lonj before J Christmas sent in his name to Santa Clan l. Bat although there had been plenty of time, and Santa Claas had put plenty of thought upon the matter, he bad not yet been able to decide npon w.f thing for that little boy's stocking. Perhaps it seems etranee to yoa that Santa Claus shoald be puzzled about such a thing as that, when fiiiing stork irz; in his regular profession, bat the little boy to whom that stocking belonged was a very strange and unusual child. What ever was given to Lim he would either break to pieces very soon or do w j naughty miarhief with. Yet kind old Santa eoalJ not bear to leave even this stocking empty. So he had been puzzling his brains to find J something with which the little boy could not hurt people, and something he could not break ; and althongh he had been thinking over all his lists of toys and presents, nothing had Le foa-j.l yet "Chirp ' Chirp V sounded a sharp little Toice.

"I know, I know," said Smta. "No, I can't give hira the donkey nor any ether of those fine '.ittle animals that we have this year.

If I shoald use all the sa l words in the English language 1 could never tell yoa how sad that little boy was as he poo red the sawdust out of his stocking, and found that Santa Claus bad really sent him nothing else. Poor little chap! It was almost a year later, j i-d before Christmas, when Santa Claus again sat by hi fire thinking. Bat this time lie was in no trouble ; no indeed, not he !

Heand the cricket had been planning all sorts of ecstatic surprises for the stot king of tbe boy to whom they had given sawdust the year before ; for, if you can believe it, the little boy bad been trying all the year to be careful and gentle, and he w as really quite changed. "Sawdust is a grand thing." chirped the cricket, leaping about in delighL "Yes, but I am glad we do not need to use it this year," replied Santa. "I-et me see the list again.

A Story of Two Slaves. A few days ao a gentleman ia Ilawk insrille, ii said : It a strange fact yet it ia true, that the negroes who were mast persiMent in their efforts toelade a master whom they hated and were commonly called 'run aaay nigiep, are the very best citizens we now hare, I have watched many of them, bat it ha always turned out that way. Xegroes oscally did not run away from their manters ou accoant of work, bat because of ill treAtn.ent or of natural dislike, and when they once took aver sion to their master he might aj well make up his mind to sell them to some one whom they asked or keep a pack of hoands lr the purpose of capturing them every tuie he gave them a chance to get aar. Io too see that old colored man in that busrgy driving aroand the corner? Well, that is old Dempey Clarke, and he is to-day one of the richest negroes in leorgia. He livel for three years in the swamps of Georgia because he hated his t nutater, and suffsre.1 unto! 1 barlshits fighting f r existence, yet he never did give himself up until his master, in de spair, sold Lim to a neighbor named Krown, who was good to his slaves. Then l'-jLU'ey and his brother cjmeoat of the woods and went to work on Mr. Brown's plantation, where be worked until the war was OTer. "I remember the day when Pempsey and his brother Bristow were brought into Hawkinstilie. There was a big sale that day and several thousand slaves were put upon the b!..cF, they were bid in by a Mr. Coley, an old planter who wa rich in land anl slave. When Mr. Coley bid thera in, Iiempsey said : "We don't lack yer, Mr. Coley, an'yerdeeln't buy us, 'kiise we ain't gwine ter lib wid e-' "'Oh, well, Mr. Coley replied, 'I've got plenty of dogs. which meant if they ran away he would capture them with the keen scented hounds kept for that purpose. "The trade was con um mated and Demprey and Bri-to ar were sent to Mr. Coley' plantation. True to their word, the third day after their arrival at the plantation Ieuipsey and Briatow took to the wooiLi. Taey were capture I once, bet before they were brought back to the plantation they again made their escape, j and this time for good, as they swore j that they would die before they ever would be taken back to Coley 's planta tion. "I remember on one occasion a party of negro hunters struck the trail of ,, . . ... . . , i Ltistowand L'jmpsey an 1 chased them, .... , lagoons just below Big Creek, near here the creek runs into the Okmulgee. The stamp was almost impenetrable, but the j hunters followed their dogs and ap- pronched within yards of the runaway niggers. . "When they were cornered the two slave opened fire upon their pursuers, and as it was getting late in the evening there was nothing left for them to lo but to retreat, which they did. After trying to recapture his slaves for three years, Mr. Colely finally gave up iu de- I spairand soli them in the woo Is to a Mr. Brown, of Huston county. Mr. Brown w as much liked by bis slaves, and as soon as it became geaeraly knoan that ha had bought Drtnpsey and Bristow the slaves made their appearance in the vil lage and gave themselves op to Mr. Lrown. "I will never forget how they looked j w hen they came ont of theswattip. Their hair and w hiskers had b-en cut until I they fairly met, anl it em-l tome; that nothing was visible of the face ex- ! cept two black eyes that looked wildl v at me. I never saw two men so nearly like wild men in my life, an l their clothes" helped to strengthen the impression made by the Erst glance at their faces. Mr. Brown give them c!othrs and cared j for them, and in S'tiort time they were j perfectly at home on his plantation, i w here they remained till after the war. j "I do not know where Bristow ia, but I am told that he is in Colorado, where j he went after the war, and that he owns I Urge mining interests there. He was a very bright negro, ani would a'aays atxuinu, ale, even as a siive. Mjmpsey remained ia Huston county afurr the war and followed farming for a living. He has simulated a large forUae, w r.ich cons.sts principally ia Ian Is and j ho I,e married as a slave, is still living, and his daughters are olTat college. As a faithful sUve of the old type, a gd citizru and an hon est, upright business ms.n, I'jmpsey has the respect of ail who know him." Pigs that Pay. Mr. Connor, of Hopkinton, X. H. thus speaks a'ooutjhsa practice : ! ")Ir rractice of late rears has been to slaughter two sets of pigs during the year, the March or April pig during De cember, and the September pig in May. If I am keeping tentcows I arrange their time of calving so as to have abont an e j'iai flow of milk at ali seasons of the year- The slack, if any, is in July ami August. With that number of cows I will fatten ten pigs within the year, mak ing about S0 pounds of pork. My pys teiu of feeding is like this : Tlie month old pig is fed three or four dys cn r.ew ruiik, tuen gradually ,n th. course of an-, other week, changed off on to sk.mmeJ t..u'e. v 1. . lor the first two jreeksuse who.egra.n, sweet or western corn, then commence ! ,he addition of middling in very slight uuantitie. hen the pig is three or four months old add a little Indian meal and shorts, but not to any great extent until about six months of age. A pig thus fed np to this time on feed containing largely the bone and mostle elements will have a frame that will stand the strain of heavy feeding daring tlie suc ceeding three or four months. About 1 pounds of meal per pig, with the ad dition of a dollar or two's worth ef mi'l dling? and snorts during the growing pe riod, will make a pig weigh from S0O to "10 pounds. The hams and sides, the lard and pork from such a pig find a very ready sale. JuHrnnlnf Agrit-ultmt.

Instantaneous photography has cor rected many false notions which wen; once held in regard to rapid movements. The eye was deceived by the imprwion made upon iL Many readers are aware tbat the movements of a horse's feet and leg. ia running and jumping were not un lerstoo-l by artists until the exact postares were caagh. by the camera. So obje has caused more discas":on chi the otipstion whether or not wo can trust the evulenceof oor senses, than th Hash of lightning. In almxt every in- j an exceptional glimpse of England's roy stanoe anil to almost every eye the bolt a! sovere:;"n. seems to descend by a z'gMg cocrse. 0 out.-iders are ever present," says Artists always represent the flash naler MaiU.-ue Alhani, "and I see Victoria as a the form of a broken line. The ancient ! a on. an ; never as a qneen." Greek artists showed the thun ler!i t of Jove as furnisbeil with puints the shafts of which were iig'.tg lines. This proves that the human ere has given the same testimony in regiri to the matter for thousands of years. Xow that instantaneous photography shows us that the discharge from the clouds, like that from one si le to the oilier of a Leyden j r. is in nearly a straight line, the problem is to account for the appearance which this line pre sents. r.e of the most plausible exp'aii - atijn yet given is by a recent contribu tor to nat'ire. The theory of this writer w that th common "streaming" Sash, for example, ia seen by us projected np-a rolliai mas ses of cumulus clouds forming a back ground against which the lightning is see-n. As most thunder-storms are made up of such clouds, a background of thai sort is not often wanting. To test the theory, and t see if the eye is capableofcarrectinsritson blund ers, we should watch a Hash from it surt to the ground. I ually the clou Is .re piled in loose tieeces above, and there the flash should appear zigzAgg?1', while in its lower course, against a back ground of rain, it should appear crinkled. If only it could be seen against a ckar sky its real path would at once be dis covered. Some Big Mistakes. Preachers who get sour and scold when things do not go to suit them, make a big mistake.
