WHO'S "FRAID?" ="

An old sea captain, who had r.
tired from service and lived on farm,
had wild harm-scarum nephew liv-
ing with him. He could never drive
or frighten said nephew to do any
thing in its proper time. Among the
rest, he could never get him to drive
up the cows to milk before dark-he
had to drive them from back pasture
through the sugar bush. Finally the
captain asked the lad if he was not
afraid to go through the woods in the
dark.
Fraid? What is that2 l never
have seen fraid," replied the boy.
"Well, never mind, my lad; you
will see one some of these nights
if you do not get the cows up before
dark said the captain, meanlngly.
That night the boy played unit
dusk before he went after the cows a
usual.
The captain took sheet and follow
ed after him. Now the captain had
tame monkey, who saw the perform

cloth and followed the captain at re
spectful distance. The captain wen

ARABIAN HORSES.
FRANK

In Mr.. William c. Primes interest
ing works, recently published by the
Messrs. Harpers, Boat Life in Egypt"
and "Tcnt Life in the Holy Land"
frequent mention is made of the Arab
horses, renowned all over the world
for their beauty, docility, flectness,
power, endurance, and value to their
masters, who live and roam upon the
great deserts of the East Mr.. Prime
says the Arabs prefer the mare to the
horse, on account of her superior pow
er of endurance. They trace their
genealogy by their mother, and not,
as we do, by the sire. The favorite ira
dition is that they are descended from
the five mares of the Prophet Moham-
med, and that these came originally
from one common stock, to wit, the
Kohailah The finest breeds are to
be found amongst the Annazee and
Shaumar tribes, east and southeast OF
the Damascus, extending quite to the
Euphratcs.
The value of the Arab mare is, lite
rally, not to be estimated in gold,
since no amount of money will effect
the purchase of one of the pure blood.
This fact arises from causes that are
evident to one who knows the Be
douins. In the first place, money is OF
no use to an Arab. He needs very
little for his ordinary purposes, and
more would be an incumbrancc-tc
be buried, given away, or lost. His
mare is his life, with her he is free tc
travel on the desert, to fight OF fly, tc
rob his legitimate enemies, and pro
tect his friends. II he should ex
change his mare for gold, he woul'
be fair subject for plunder, withon
the means of defence or escape, ant
: having no home, would be at loss t.
bury his treasure where it would b.
of practical use to him.
The color of the Arab horse varies
4 but is most frequently white, or ligh
!, chestnut. They are not large, rarel
t above fourteen hands high, and Will
at rest, none but an experienced horse

Why WE HAVE NO THUNDER IN WIN
rER-Prof. Espy, in his fourth Mete-
geological Report, thus explains why
we have no thunder in the winter:
"If it is asked why we have no
thunder in the winter, though the tops
of the storm clouds rise even in this
season to a region where the air is
at least considerably charged with
electricity, perhaps the answer may
be found in this.-that the storm clouds
in the winter are of great extent, and
of course the tension of the electricity
being extended over very large sur
face, is very feeble; and the substance
of the cloud being itself framed out Of
vapor much less dense than that Of
summer clouds, this tension may not
be able to strike from one particle of
the cloud to the next adjacent one,
therefore no general discharge can
take place. Besides, even in the win
ter during very warm spell of wealth
cr, with high dew point for the sea-
son, we sometimes have violent
thunder storm from a cloud of very
limited horizontal extent, as the thun.
der clouds always are in the summer
Such cloud is in reality an insulated
pillar of hot air, mingled with con
densed vapor, having just given on
into the air itself its latent caloric
causing the air at the top of this cloud
in many cases, to be sixty degree.
warmer at its top than the air on its
outside at the same level

monkey got on the first end without
noise and did the same. So the
parties stood when the boy came
whistling along with his cows. The
cows SHE'D little upon seeing the
ghosts, which caused the boy to look
ahead.
"Hello, what is that p he shouted;
"by golly, guess it's Fraid 7" and
then, spying the monkey he sung out,
"by Jerusalem, if there aint two
Fraids, big Fraid and a little
Fraid !"
This caused the captain TO look
around, when he saw, for the first
time, his ghostly companion. He
thought it was Fraid sure enough.
The old captain streaked it for
home, the monkey chasing him,
and the wicked nephew clapping his
hands and shouting Run, big Fraid,
run, or little Fraid II catch you !"

What lie Might Have Been.

J. G.. Holland, editor of the Spring
field Mass. Republican, has been rus
ticating in Vermont, looking around
among the farmers, and writes to
that sheet as follows

(and came very near leading for that
NATTER among the hills as a farmer
He would have grown up stalwart and
strong with horny hands, and face

would have taught school winters,
(as he did, worked on the farm sum-
mers, and gone out haying for fifteen
days in July at a dollar day, and
taken for pay the iron work and run

twenty, or thercabouts, he would have
begun to pay attention to a girl with
father worth two thousand dollars,
and spit curl ON her forehead-a
girl who always went to singing
school and sat in the Seats and sung
without opening her mouth-a darna,
tion pretty girl any way. 1t would
have been a strife between him and
Tom Butts to see which would have
her. Well, after seeing her home
from singing school one or two sea
sons, (Tom Butt being triumphantly
cut out, and taking her to the 4tl

dollars together, he would have mar

"Ole Virginny neber tire" If the
scene Of the following incident were
located any where save in Virginia we
might be led to doubt it's truth. The
Wheeling lntelligencer says: We saw
yesterday going toward the upper fer
ry, a team of four animals-a horse, a
pony, mule and bull. The horse
had the heaves, the pony was blind,
the mule was lame, and the bull had
no provision for fly time. In the wag-
on, which was crying for grease, sat
white man. a crippled nigger. and a
tame skunk frailly bound by wisp Of
straw. The white man held the reins
consisting of bed-rope, the team he'o
on it's way, and the nigger held the
skunk. To make the story worthy o
it's place it may be essential to say i
is true, and that all the parties belong
ed to the "F. F. VS."

bird of great talons, and is much res
pected by birds that are afraid Of him.
He is a great study for artists, but
appears to best advantage on the ten

hope and the inspiration of Fourth of

politicians who declare that he stands
on the topmost peak of the Rocky
Mountains and dips his bill in the At
lantic while his tail casts shadow
over the Pacific. This is all CANNON
for there never was one more than ter
feet long. His angry scream is hearc

chamber of faithless wife was inva-

husband to go for medicine. On ar
irving at the drug store and feeling in
his pocket for the change, there ap,
peared to be some mistake about the

of a solitary quarter, he found any
quantity of gold and bank notes
whereupon new light began to break

The Scarlet PetticOat.

The scarlet petticoat, like all petit.
coats, is a matter of great interest.
Some prude old maids might inquire
what we have to do with the ladies'
petticoats at all, or how came we to
know anything about them; but we
shall tell them that we, and men in gen.
eral, have something to do with them,
and know something about them,
from the fact that the article has been
in all ages q most important weapon
in politics, war, diplomacy and fnan-
ceering. Where would have been the
fame of Homer if Paris had not inter-
fered with a petticoat quarrel? Did
not Mark Antony forsakc all his
frien,,,s and allow his party to &C to
the does wni;;i,e he was " flaming "
away his time under the pett'coat
reign of Cleopatra? Was not ME-.
de Maintcnon's petticoat the chief
piece of machinery in the time of the
Grand Monarch ? Was England ever
more powerifas!! than when under the
petticoat government Of Queen Eliza
beth? A great many very handsome
petticoats she had too, it is said.
Where would have been the Duke of
Marlborough but for the petticoat in
huence of Sarah Churchill &? Similar
influences in our day led to the down
fall of the first Napolean, the early
death of the second, and the success
of the third And is it not gravely
urged that the expansion of the crino-
line and the imitation of the hooped
petticoats helped to bring on the
commercial revulsion? Do we not
all remember the incident in Californ-
ia, where a party of rough miners who
had passed many months without the
cheer of woman's eyes, accidentally
discovered red petticoat, paid hom
age to it, and extemporized trium
phant dance about it? Who can for
get the Connecticut matron who dis
robed herself Of her only pctticoat t.
supply the demandfor cannon wadding
at the battle of Groton Heights anc
storming of Fort Griswold? Have
not all poets sung the praises of the
petticoat? Who does not remembc
the lines Of Sir John Sucking!
Her feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out,
As if they feared the light
and of Byron, who says it is
"A garment of much mystical sublimity,
Whether it be of russet, silk or dimity.'
But we need not multiply author
ties. We state the fact, that
the star spangled banner ever fail
. to arouse the valor of our heroes, il
it be replaced by petticoat, Ink
Bcatrice's hair, of any color tn;
pleases heaven.

RUSSIAN LEArHER.-None of the Eu-
ropean or American artizans in leather
have yet been able to produce an
article equal in quality to that which
is sent forth from the Russian work
shops. Its power of resisting decay
in damp situations, and its freedom
from the attack of insects and fungi,
are remarkable. 1t is prepared by
tanning the skins of calves, sheep and
goats with warm decoction of willow
bark the red dye is communicated
by decoction of red sanders wood,
and afterward applying by kind OF
carrying process on cmpyreumatlc OIL
obtained by distillation from the bark
of the birch tree, which gives it its
agreeable odor. The hair is said tc
be loosened by weak wood-ash lyc
of which the active principle is carbo
nate of potash The process OF man
ipulation, as carried on in Russia
produces an inferior quality whel
practiced in other countries.

under the soil Parts of families have
emigrated to these regions, and the
result in the next generation, has been
a larger bone development in those
who left Massachusetts,, than in those
who remained. Kentucky, Ohio and
Iowa will grow great men. The fin
est figures in the world will be found
in the valley of the Mississippi, in a
few generations. Indoor labor, so
unnatural for men, will weaken the
vital powers and stop the growth in
large cities but the great and glori-

compensate for the growing feebleness

They Immediately broke the legs of
such animals as they could get, band
aging them with tar and oakum, but
the legs did not get we'll ; and they
wanted to break some mans leg, to
test this wonderful cire. Finally they
wrote to their informant to learn if
they had used the right kind of tar

He assured them that all was right ;
and added in a postscript, that the leg
being of wood, tar and oakum were
probably as good as any thing.
