FEEDING HOUSES on THE Road
There is nothing in which farmers man
are stock so badlv as in feeding horses
TOO frequently while travelling. Some
will bait their horses every ten or
Twelve miles, though they may not be
more than an hour and half or two
hours in going from one stage to an
other, and This is often done soon after
the horse has eaten a hearty breakfast or
dinner. When the horse stops he is
fatlnued or hot, and he needs rest and
cooling. TO fill the stomach then with
food, before the previous meal is digest
ed. is injurious in the extreme: Let the
horse b. well fed in the morning before
he starts on IA Journey, and he will travel
from 7 o'clock to twelve, without re-
curing any food; then let him rest two
hours at noon, and he will be prepared
to travel again TO seven without bait
inc. Horses laboring on farm, 90 hal!
a day without eating. In and around
cities are thousands of horses that work
hare during the afternoon without bait
ing. and yet they are kept in good con-
dtion, although at work almost every
day in the year. They are employed
III trucking, N cabs omnlbnses ana otheF
vehicles, and they usually labor hard.
Although these are frequently under 'he
best OF management, no one thinks OF
giving them batting between their
REGULAR meals.-h. T.. fdrmeT.

LIES LAST HoURs.-Life's last hours
are grand testing hours. Death tries all
our principles, and lays bare all our foun-
dation. Vast numbers have been found to
act the hypocrite in life, who were forced to
be honest in the hour of death. What athe-
lists have owned their principles, what
worldlings have bewailed their folly when
death approached! Misgivings of the heart
that have been kept secret through life,
have come out in death and many who
seemed all right and fair for heaven, have
had to declare that they had only been self
deceived. 1t has been said, "man may not
dissemble in DEATH" hence the value of
dying testimonies. We gather the last acts,
the last experiences; and we treasure them
up as indubitable evidences in favor against
the character Of those that wore their value
as tests Of character, and all have felt their
force.

THE BRIDAL WINE CUP.
BY MRS. MARIANNE DENISON.

"Pledge with wine-pledge with wine !"
cried the young and thoughtless Harvey
Wood; "pledge with wine!' ran through
the brilliant crowd.
The beautiful bride grew pale-the deci-
sive hour had come. She pressed her
white hands together, and the leaves of her
bridal wreath trembled on her pure brow:
her breath came quicker, and her heart
beat wilder.
eyes, Marion, lay aside your scruples
for this once" said the Judge, in low
tone, going towards his daughter, the
company expect it. Do not so seriously
infringe upon the rules of etiquette; in
your home act as you please but in mine,
for this once, please me.''
Every eye was turned towards the bridal
pair.-Marion's principles were well-known.
Henry had been convivialist, but Of late
his friends noticed the change in his man
ners, the difference in his habits-and to-
night they watched him to see, as they
sneeringly said, if he was tied down to
woman's opinion so soon.
Pouring brimming beaker, they held it
with tempting smiles toward Marion. She
was very pale, though more composed, and
her hand shook not, as smiling back, she
gracefully accepted the crystal tempter,
and raised it to her lips. But scarcely had
she done SO, when every hand was ARRESTED
by her piercing exclamation of "oh how
terrible ~
"What is it ?" cried one and all throng-
ing together, for she had slowly carried the
glass at arms length, and was fxedly re-
garding it as though it were some hideous
object.
"Wait," she answered, while an inspired
light shone from her dark eyes, wait and
will tell you. [ see, she added, slowly
pointing one jewelled finger at the sparkling
ruby liquid-a sight that beggars all de-
scription, and yet isten-I will paint it
for you if can. 1t is lonely spot tall
mountains crowned with verdure rise in
awful sublimity around; a river runs
through, and bright flowers grow to the
waters edge. There is a thick warm mist,
that the sun seeks vainly to, pierce. Trees,
lofty and beautiful, wave to the airy mo-
ton of birds; but there-a group of Indians
gather; they fit to and fro with something
like sorrow upon their dark brows. And
in their midst lies a manly form-but his
cheek, how deathly, his eye wild with the
ftful fire of fever. One friend stands be-
side him-nay, I should say, kneels; for
see, he is pillowing that poor head upon his
breast
"Genius in ruins-oh! the high, holy
looking brow !! why should death mark it,
and he SO young. Look how he throws
back the damp eurls-see him clasp his
hands-hear his thrilling shrieks for life
mark how he clutches at the form of his
compenion, imploring to be saved. Oh,
hear him call piteously his fathers name
see him twine his fingers together as he
shrieks for his sister-his only sister-the
twin Of his soul-weeping for him in his
distant native land.
"See!" she exclaimed, while the bridal
party shrank back, the untasted wine trem-
bling in their faltering grasp, and the Judge
fell, oyerpowered, upon his seat-''see

Or in the bloom of life.
If you are blonde or brunette,

Or soft and wavy tresses
That flash in the morning light;
Ifyou are tall and stately,
With the bearing of queen,
Or short and fat and dumpy,
Or the two extremes between.

But know he would not tell,

But the sweetest have treasured up,
And call it Fanny Fern.
The ideal picture have sketched,

And all that's good in womankind

Can stir the heart of woman thus,
