SECRET THOUCHTS.
BT X!A WHIaXEB WILCOX,
I hold it true that thoueh'a are thinirs
Endowed with bodies, brxth and wlags.
And that we aend them fcarth to nil
The world with good results or 1IL
That which we call our secret thought.
Speed, to the earth's remotest spot.
And leaves Its blessings or Its woes
Like tracks behind it at it goes.
It Is God sis w : rcnemberit
In your still chamber as yon sit
With thoughts yon would nut dare have knows
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoubta have hfe and they will Cy
And leave their impress by and by.
Like some marsh ones whose poisoned breath
Breathes into homes iu fevered breath.
And after you have quit farrot
Or all outgrosru some vanished thought.
Back to your mind to make its home,
A dove or raves. It will coaie.
Then let your secret thoughu be fair ;
They have a vitAl part nd share
In shaping wor!ls and molding fai
God i system is so intricate
A L1TYLE WHILE ASUNDER
Mrs. Seivii Fry sat idly in the calico
rtuhiooed chair io the kitchen. This
fact, innocent at distant acqnainUnc',
becomes startling; to any one knowing
well Mrs. Fry. A rubest, industrious
farmer's w ife, her years, growing fast to
be numerous, sat lightly epoc her, and
did not tarn her for a moment, from her
daily work, always cheerily and faithful
ly and oncfaeinjiy perfortiieL So long,
tab only tbe old kitchen, with its yellow
almanac banging behind the stove, and
its fad in if, dull yellow floor, knew how
long) bad she on every afternoon gone
about the same round of duties, from the
time when Joebaa left the dinner table
to the hour when he returned from the
field, that it was much more easy to go
on with them than it could have been to
pause. Yet there she sat idly in the old
rocker, the stove half polished and the
brush on the hearth, while tbe sun was
giving bis last wink above the red barn
on .the bill. Besides, her usually cheer
ful face was clouded cot with anger or
sorrow, but with deep perplexity.
" Serena," she said of a sudden, rising
with her accustomed briskness, "you
ought to be clean ashamed of yourself.
If ever Satan got into anybody, it's you.
Tbe idea of your sittin' idle, with the
work only half done, thtokin' about goin'
to New York ! It would be bad enough if
everything was done up. Holidays ain't
for lazy folks that's certain.'
And even as she spoke the old stove
begsn tosmile oat in its usual polished
manner.
When the last bit of work bad been ac
complished, and the old Bible, with
Joshua's spectacles on it, was awaiting
evening prayers from the lamp stand,
Mrs. Fry sat down and aud
" I received a letter yesterday, Joeh-
UA."
You don't say V said be, stopping in
she act of putting on his spectacles.
"From Jobnr
No," said his wife ; " from nephew
Joshua, in New York."
" You don't say I" said Joshua, again.
"Do you want to read it aloud to me,
S'rena t"
" I would, but I burnt it up. There
wa'n't not bin secret in it, and I knew
right afterward what a thing it was to do
before you'd seen it ; bat, some way, it
didn't seem as if it was right to keep it
any longer."
" Not right, S'rena? Has Joshua been
doin' anything?"
"No, indeed," said his wife, hastily.
" And 'twas a real nice letter. 1 noticed
particular that be signed bis name 'Josh
ua S. Fry,' as if to kind o' remind him
self that he was named after you. It ain't
worth spetkin' of, but it was printed' J.
Sylvester ' on tbe envelope,"
" I ain't a mite surprised," said Joshua
with a kindly smile. "It's a big sight
handsomer name. Bat what aad be to
"He wanted me to come to New York,"
said Mrs. Fry. And for her life she could
not have said a word more.
Her husband waited a few moments
. . 1 .
in deep suence, ana uieu ue epoae
again :
"To stay, S'rena?"
" Joshua Fry, hew you talk! He ain't
quite a fo!. To make a visit"
Serena let there short sentences shoot
out from her lips as thoagh they were
loaded. " He said he an' Susie had been
waitin' for me a long time, an' bethongbt
I could be spared from tbe farm now as
well as as any time, seein he remember
ed tbe bay in' most be ever, an' seeio' I'd
never been to New York, he did hope
that I'd come. An' he sent a railroad
pass."
" Did you burn that np, too?" asked
Joshua ; but, as he spoke, be noticed it,
for the first time, lying by the Bible and
be leaned forward to read it Once and
again did he examine the innocent docu
ment and still turned it over in his hand
when bis eyes were looking, aa it were,
far away.
For live and twenty years (I said only
the old kitchen knew how long, but I
bribed it to tell me) had Joshua and Se
rena Fry lived together and worked to
gether without separation or holiday.
Their wedded love was of the old-fashioned
sort, and dwelt not in many words
as it began not with a wedding tour, but
thrived in faithful common toil. They
were not only uncomplaining, but were
happy.
As Joshua sat thinking these things,
the sudden invitation of his brother's
boy, who had before this shown his kind
ly remembrance of the old farmhouse
where be used to come for summer frol
ics, brought no pang with its half-told
tale of tbe difference between life in
Green's Corners and life in the harrying
city. Tbe meadow paths, with their
winged or creeping citizens, were Farmer
Fry's happy estate, and the yellow floor
ed kitchen his inner heart's borne. It is
for this reason that I most want his swift
appreciation of bis wife's feeling to be
felt and praised. Had the coming of
Nephew Joshua's letter been foretold to
Lim, he would bave expected Serena to
read it carefully, and talk over with him
tbe best way of sending their thanks for
the invitation, and nf tel'ic bow impos
sible it was for either of them to leave
tbe farm. He knew now, from ber half
excited manner, from the fact that she
bad burned the letter as though it bad
brought subtle temptation to wrong, per
haps from stray sentence which he bad
once read abonl the hidden desire and
IT
JL
wives, that the invitation had come to
Serena like a window opened into anoth
er life, and that she had faithfully tried,
and was still trying to close it.
There came with his thoughts no bit
terness or indecision. S-rena roost go to
New York. The farm and be coal J put
op without ber for a week or more, he
thought, if-he bad borne with him for
twenty-five years! So when be spoke
again it was, though after a considerable
pause, with the same widespread, kindly
mile.
I hope yooTl go, S'rena ; it'll do yoo
good, an' yon ain't no cause to throw
away sech a chance."
Serena was astonished. She bad ex
pected her husband to do just what I
said he would bave expected her to !,
bad not love qoiikened bis naturally
leisure brain. She bad said, "Get thee
behind me, Satan V and here was Josh
ua serenely inviting that dignitary fir-
ward again. The window was wide open
again, and could not be clewed.
But Mrs. Fry's mind and conscience
did not quickly settle themselves. Not
once or twice was the invitation almost
fully rejected by them during the next
few days, as their owner worked over the
frying-pan or sewing machine, or talked
with her many visitors. For when it
became noised abroad in Green's Corners
that Serena Fry was thinking of going
te New York (to spend the winter, gos
sip sometimes bad it, and, sometimes, to
live), her sitting-room becatue the scene
of great social activity, and Mias Liai
son, the dressmaker, who hail been sew
ing at Smith ville came borne of ber own
accord to Ct out the traveler for her jour
ney.
So circumstances held the window
open not Serena and she let them ami
Joshua and the neighbors decide that she
would go, rather than decide it herself.
It was Joshua who wrote the letter to his
nephew that she would come, and w ho,
with his cwn old bands, did the greater
part of her packing. For Serena, usually
tbe readiest and most skillful f r work,
now seemed dazed and scarcely half hap
py at the prospect which had been open
ed before her.
In the pale gray and green light of the
early morning they drove to the railroad
crossing. Trains stopped at ureen s cor
ners only when an antiquated man, who
lived in a cloeet, came out and frantically
waved a flag at them. He came out now,
and leaned on the flag handle, while Se
rena tried to look back at the old farm
house.
Don't you be worried, Serena," said
Joshua, cheerfully. "I'll prosper all right
unless I get sick along of eatin all them
pies and fixin'o. You must Lev thought
I'd hev a sight of company. Well, good
by '; take good care of yourself !" for the
flagman was waving for all he was worth
and Serena privately hoped tbat-lhe diabolical-looking
monster would refuse to
stop; it slopped. In a moment more
Joshua and the flagman and tbe farm
house were as the cinders which wen
jerked past the car window by an nn?een
hand.
So long was it since the wide world of
travel had shown a glimpse of itself to
Mrs. Fry that the morning passed swift
ly, on account of the rapidiy-cbacging
scenes through which trie train sped
along, and Serena was more like herself
than she bad been since the invitation
came. But noon brought a dismal rain,
which drizzled down tbe windows ami
put tbe country in drab mourning, and
discouraged nearly every one, especially
Serena. Not thinking that she bad chang
ed ber place, she fell certain that it was
niniug thus dismally at tbe Corners and
that Jhua would bave to look -tfrer the
cows in tbe chilly eetness, and return to
aa equally chtllv kitchen and stove.
Presently the indefatigable news agent,
who bad been all the morning tiring al
ternate caramel packages and books at
the passengers, threw a pamphlet into
Serena's seat, and she i lly picket it up
and began to read tbe advertisements on
the cover. As she did so, she let the book
fall and and gave a little cry of despair.
It was only an advertisement of some
patent rat destroyer which had met her
eye, but it threw ber poor heart into
deep distress. Only the night before,
when she had been arranging Joshuas
provisions in tbe pantry, Mrs. Siemmens,
tbe grocer's wife, bad come to the door
with ajar in her hand, tae strings of her
sunbonnet banging dejectedly in front of
her shoulders.
" Here's that rat pien I premised
you," she raid. I thought likely Mr. Fry
might find it useful while you are away.
The emptier a bouse is, tbe more the
mice likes it When my Susan died, she
wa'n't really buried before they was gal
livantin' around ber room. I'll sit it right
here. Mis' fry, for I can't stop ; it's com
in'ondark. Youll find it 'II make 'em
go right off an' die, every time.
Serena had noticed, dimly at the time,
that Mrs. Slemmons bad set ber jr just
in front of one of applebutter, which ha 1
been filled for Joshua and placed on tbe
pantry shelf. Now, with the swift re
membrance of this scene which the ad
vertisement brought came a dreadful
thought
Sho had not put the jar of rat poison
away !
It most be standing there by the apple
butter, and Joshua it made her sick to
think of it might take the wrung jar for
bis dinner. He might have done it al
ready ; probably bad, and must be quite
dead. Serena pat her head down on the
back of the seat in front of her, and let
ber troubled thoughts run on as they
would ; she wondered dimly whether
the poison affected human beings as Mrs.
Siemmens bad said it affected ruts, and
made them "go off alone and die." She
wondered if it would do any good to ask
the conductor to send word to Joshua not
to eat any applebutter until she should
retain. She imagined a message await
ing her at ber nephew's house bidding
her come back to ber husband's foneral.
She thought of how she deserved ali this
punishment in return for goingaway and
leaving him alone for the first time since
their marriage. There came into ber
mind tbe words of tbe marriage ceremo
ny, " Wbat God hath joined together let
no man put asunder," and she said to her
self, We ain't never been aawunJer be
fore, and wcaldnt be now if Hwant for
ber wickedness."
And while she sat so, of a sodden it
grew dark and then light again, and the
eager train was resting in tbe New York
station.

The room and the stove at C reen's Cor
ners were rather chilly, and whether tha
mice discovered it or not, Jchua found
the. house remarkably empty. He lin
gered long in the barn wi:h the cattle,
and when be ciue hoa.e ate only a bowl
of bread and miik, and then drew out the
calico cushioned chair and &at in it.
There was not a s ua l any hero except

Funeral Reform.
The Protesrant Episcopal clergymen of
Ra!ti;i!oriand its vicinity have issued a
very particular address to the members
of teircociTei;atiors, with reference to
certain customs of faaerala, which shooid
commend itr.f everywhere for its com
mon ser.se and thoughtfulness. Tben
can be no doubt that fashion and tradi
ti jn are -ften made to play conspicuous
parts in an attempt b show respect for
the dead, and that a funeral is frequent
ly rubbed of much of its solemnity by oe
tectstious display. The clergymen in
qaet-n have in their ax lress confined
themseives strictly to matters which, as
they ri.'htly ry, involve tbe health of
b. th the cie.-ey and tbe laity. While
ileprecating any action that might imply
disre;i-t to the dead, they call atten
tion to the ha'ottof Lien removing their
hats whnab-!y is carried from the

they well say, ia not always necessary in

In the first yard were a lot of IlouJans,
a French breed liked by Mr. Yandt rbilt,
Allhouzh Mr. Heidtrr.ann does Dot think
so much of them. They are very hand

topknots, colored similarly. Ia tre next
yard were brown Lehorsa, beyond tfcoe
white Leghorns and in tte fuurta yard
Plymouth Rocks. AJjoining tbe feed
room is the incubating room, the most
interesting of all. This room contains
double and two single inenbators, having
a united capacity of I,X) eggs.
The incubators are of the last pattern,
these formerly used by Mr. Heidtmann
having been discarded. Every pcssibl
care is used to make the machines success
fuL Mr. Heidtmann has added a num
ber of devices of his own to guard against
poavibie failure. The safety valves axe
delicately poised to regulate tbe beat ia

than 103 degsi, cor lew than 101 deg.

The brooders are arranged so that the

occupied by those described. As they
grow oider and stronger tbey are moved
along until they are big enougb to shift
for them lves, when they fail victim to
Mr. Yanderbiil's liking for tender broil
ers. The temperature iu the first lr xi
er is kept at a'xmt SS degs., and it de
scends gradually in the others. The heat
ie supplied by hut water pipes, w hich
raa above the beads of the chickec.
Ia some brooders the heat comes from
be'ow, but Mr. Heidtmann says that it
weakens the chickens' leg's and keeps
them small.
"In order to give the flesh Caor an. I
firmness," he said, "chickens must be
brought up quicklv. If they are not
weil fed and nourished taey wiilgrosr
slowly and become tough."
Back of each brooder is aa exact copv
of the sun parlor ia use at winter resort
hotels. The parlor is small, made of
glaas and iron, aud the t!jor is -trewa
with coarser sand than that iu the
brooders. There are half as many par
lors as brooders. IVyond these are still
larger sun parlors of tiie same kind, with
ordinary sand and pebbles on the floor.
Still farther back are open yards seventy
five feet in depth n warm days the
strong young chickens are out either ia

of tbe bigger chiL kg in the last brooders
were running about their parlors on the

About Watering Horses.
A horse can live twenty-five dayi wi;h
o'tt solid fcoel, merely drinking water
seventeen days withect either eating or
drinking, and only five days when eat
ing solid food without drinking.
An idea prevail among horsemen that
a hore should never be watered oftener
than three times a day. or in twenty-four
hours. This is not only a mistaken idea,
but a brutal practice. A hor-ess stomach
is extremely sensitive, and will slider
under the leant interference, causint; a
feverish condition.
Feeding a horse principally on graia
and driving it five hours without wa!-r
is like giving a man salt mackerel fr
dinner and not allowing him t drink
until supper time very unsatisfactory
for the man.
Ifyou know anything about the care
of horses and have any sympathy for
them water them as often as they want
to drink once an h"ur. if possible. By
doing this you will jot only be merciful
to jour animals, but you w ill r a bene
factor to yourself, as they wiil do more
wotk t they will be healthier; tbey will
loex better, and will be less liable to
coughs and colds an 1 will lite longer.
If yon are a skeptic and know more
about horses than any one else, you are
positive that the foregoing is wrong, be
cause you have had horst.s die with
watering them too m ich, and boldly .ay
that the agitators of frti i"nt watering
are fools - ia your estimation, and yon
would not do su. h a tiling. Ju.t reason
for a moment and figure out whether the
animal would over-drank aad over
chil'ed its stomach if it bad not been al
lowed to become over-thirsty. A Lorse
is a great d-al iike a man.
Let him get overworked, overstarved
orabitied, and particular'y fi.r the want
of sufficient drink in warm weather, and
the rci:i-q!i"nces will alwiysbe injurious.
Sensible bost'ers in larst c.ti are aak
enirg to the ad van la? of frequent wat
ering. Street car horses are waterel
e.ery hour, and sometimes oftener, w'uile
they are at work. It is plenty of water
that surpllesevaporatiou or perspiraiion
and keeps down the temperature.
What oi l f gy methods amount to m.iv
be seen by the change in medical prac
tice to man. Tseaty years ago a person
haviDs; a fever of any kind or pneumonia
was allowed but litiie water to drink,
and theu it bad to be tepid. To-day
practitioners prescribe al! the iced Water
tbe patient can poe-ibly drink; and in
addition cold bandag-s are applied to
reduce and control the tetnperatureof the
blood. What isappiicabie to mai ii!
never injure a horse. I'se common sense
and human feeling.
Don't think it is a hone, and capable of
enduring any and all things. A driver
who sits in Lis wagon and lashes his
worn out, half currie f, half fed and Lalf
watered team should never complain of
any abuse he may receive from his mas
ter or employer, fr he is lower ia char
acter, harder in sympathy and less noble
than tbe brutes be is driving, and de
serves, in the name of ail that is human,
the punishment of a criminal. (Jiwj't
