impossible to leave my business for

"Dear me, how provoking, but since
it is so, why must even put up with
some Pennamite for companion"
Harry Leonard was rich mans son
of Baltimore, a pampered boy, just out
of college, with head full of romance
and adventure; and wonderful con-
ceit of his own projections. He was
now bent upon trying his fowling piece
in some part of northern Pennsylvania,
where it is almost wilderness, and
where game is plenty. co." said he

will be emphatically Mistaken"
A few days found our sapient hero
snugly domiciled in a comfortable tav-
ern, in one of the mountain districts of
the brave old Keystone Commonwealth;
and blood, as he fancied himself, he
found very pleasant companionship in
the joyial SON of his chatty landlord,
who became his guide and companion
| in all his excursions. But Leonard
found that it was not so easy a matter
to capture the deer, and as for the girls,
they stunned him as they would the
willy panther. He saw many face
and form that might have queened it
in the halls of fashion, but they seemed
to feel the dignity of labor, and looked
down on the trivilous city idler. He
grew quite weary of his bootless game,
and began to think seriously of going
home, when it chanced one day that he

their leafy branches over limpid
brook. She was arrayed in pure white

Two women sit at a farm house door,
Busily reading the news.
While softly around them fair Twilight sheds
Her tender shadows and dews.
Peace smiles in the cloudless heavens above;
Peace rests on the landscape fair;
And Peace, like holy spirit of love,
Broods in the balmy air. sf.E.
But not one ray of peace ilumes
Those sad aud wistful eyes
Which search the printed record Ger, .ls-
As mariners search the skies. -
Look on their faces-one like rose
| Fresh with the beauty of May;
The other pale as the waning moon
Seen through thin clouds Of gray.
Yet, though one is young and the other old,
| With the same soft glory they shine;
For they are tinted with the tenderest lights an
shades '.s
By love- the artist divine. -i
| Now, fast as radiant vision, fades
The glow of the western skies;
Yet the readers read on-unmndful of all
Save the paper before their eyes.
Nothing to them the charms of that hour
| The magic of meadow and hill
For spirits bowed down with the weight of care
Are blind to the beautiful still.
Deeper the shadows of twilight fall;
More hushed grows the dewey air, rt
When suddenly breaks on that holy calm
/ A quick, wild cry of despair. Ft 81
The younger glances have found it first ~
That record SO sad and so brief;
''Mortally wounded''-two dread words
Winged arrows of pain and grief
"Mortally wounded d'-look again;
Alas it is all too true
Not the brave alone, but the fond and fair
Are mortally wounded, too.
He, on the battlefield far away;
They, in their quiet home
The wife and the mother, who never more
Shall see their loved hero come.
The grass will grow where the warrior fell,
And sweet wild flowers may bloom
On the very turf once blackened and burned
BY the fearful fires of doom.
But the, smiling summers, that come and go,
Can never, never heal
The bleeding bosoms which felt to-day
Something sharper than steel.
"Mortallv wounded oh, dread war.
Many a victim is thine,
Save those who hear your terrible voice
Go laundering along the line!
If we give proud names and echoing hymns
And build up mountains grand
To the gallant spirits who suffer and fall
In defence of their native land.
Let us yield tenderer tribute still
Sad tears and pitying sigh,
To the uncrowned martyrs who silently sink
And die when their heroes die.

COMFORT FOR Cows.-Now that the
cold season is setting in, let the cows,
especially the milk givers, have all
needful attention. They should be
well housed and well fed. The stables
should be just moderately, warm. well
ventilated, clean, and provided with
suitable bedding. Aside from the
mere matter OF food and drink, the
animals should be kept comfortable.
This matter can hardly be over-esti-
mated. .seses zss .af1
Then, as to fodder; part of this, OF
course, should be straw, hay and corn.
stalks; but to expect cows to give
much milk on such lean fare, i,
folly. Favor them with messes ol
chopped roots of cut straw or stalks
mixed with meal of some kind. A ia.
vorite "mess" for cattle, with friend
of ours, is this: Cut up hay, or straw,
or stalks in pieces not more than an
inch or an inch and half long, put
the provender in tub or tight box,
and pour boiling water upon il; then
sprinkle on little salt, and cover the
whole with a little bran ormcal to keep
the steam in. When cold, feed it in
messes of a bushei at atime. Good as
this is it should be varied from time te
time, for cows like variety as well as
men. Cows should be salted two or
three times week. In mild weather
they should range by day in a commo-
dious yard, protected on two sides, at
least by covered sheds. And this
yard should have a pen-stock of run.

How Seth Hawkins Stole the Old Lady,s
Night-gOwn. 80

Sunday night was the season which
Seth chose to do his weekly devours,
as Mrs. Hornby would say, and his
road 10 neighbor Jones's, whose daugh-
ter Sally was the object of his
particular hope, lay across three long
miles of hard territory, stumpy as am
old woman's mouth, md as irreclaim-
able as a prodigal son gone away for
the third time. 0i
One all-sufficiently dark night, un.
needing wind and weather, as gallant
and spruce lover as ever straddled a
stump, Seth, in best "bib and tucker y
and dickey, and all that, started upon
his accustomed weekly pilgrimage to
the shrine of Sally Jones-a sweet girl,
by the way, as strawberries and cream
are sweet.
Seth knew every land mark, if he
could see it; but the night was very
dark, and in a little while he became
confused in his reckoning, and taking
the light which cleaned from father
Jones' cottage in the distance for a
guide, he pushed boldly on, as a sailor
would say, to huge stump, and rolled
incon,inently over the other side.
He gathered himself mp as best he
could, shook himself, to ascertain that
no bones were broken, and then re-
started on his mission. of love, his ar
dor somewhat damped by feeling the
cold night wind playing in fantastic
Jets around his body, denoting that the
concussion had 6redchedhis 'soh-fie for
shames," and that the seven -and.six
penny casssimere were no more to be
the particular delight of his eye, in
contemplation OF their artistic excel
lence. ss eat estff %ps-i - Hsi-
He knew not the extent of the dam
age sustained, but soon gaining the
house, his first glance was over his
person, to ascertain if decency would
be violated by an unwonted display
but seeing nothing, and trusting to the
volumninous proportions of his coat
for concealment, he felt re- assured, and
took his seat in proffsred chair by the
fire. $50 h
