How TO Judge a Horse.

A correspondent Of The Prairie FarmeI
conirarIy 10 old maxams, undertakes Il
Judge the character Of horse by outward
appearances, and offers the following sug
gestions, as the result Of his close O6ser
vation and long experience:
If the color be ligh! sorrel or chestnut,
his feet, legs and face white, these are
marks Of kindness.
If he is broad anG full between the
eyes. he may be depended on IS horse
OF good sense. and capable OF being irain'
ed TO anything.
As respects such horses, the more
kindly you treat them, The better you will
be treated in retuIn. Nor will a horse lOi
this description stand whip if well fed.
II you want a safe horse, avoid one that
is dished laced; he may be so far gentle as
not 10 scare, bot he will have too much
go.shesd in him TO be safe for everybody.
If you want fool, but horse Of great
bottom, gel deep bay, with not white
hair about him; if bis face is little dish
ed, so much the worse. Let no man ride
such a horse who is not an adept in riding
they are always tricky and unsafe.
Ifyou want one who will never give
out, never buy an oveTgrown one. A
black horse cannot stand heat nor white
one cold.
II you want gentle horse, get one
with more or less white about hIm--ihe
more the better. Many suppose Tie ParI'.
colorej horses belonging 10 clTcusses and
shows, are selected for their odjily. But
the selections thus made are on account
OF preal dociliiy and gentleness.

Our Turn Must Come.

"Generation after generation" says a
fine writer, "have felt as we now feel, ,and
their lives were as acliye as our own.
They passed like a vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect Of beauty as when
her creator commanded her to be. The
world will have the same attractions foT
our offspring yet Unborn, that she had
once for US as children. Yet little while
and all will have happened. The Ihrob'
bing heart will be stuffed, and we shall be
at rest Our funeral shall find its way ,and
PRAYERS will be said. and we shall be left
alone 10 silence and darkness, for the
worms. And it may be for short time
we shall he spoken Of, but the things Of
ife will creep in,and our names will soon
)e forgotten. Days will continue 10 move
on, and laughter and song will be heard IN
the room in which we died; and The eyes
that mourned for us will be dried, and
gllsten again with joy, and even our chill.
dren will cease to think Of US, and will
not remember to lisp our names.

There's Work Enough to Do.
BY ANNIE.

Each and every one in his life has a
work assigned him, each has his office TO
perform, and 10 oder that be may fill this
office successfully, he must adopt some
pursuireariy, follow it steadily. never
looking back to the turned furrow, but al.
ways forward 10 the new ground that is 10
be broken. There ale some, believe,
who think they are placed here for no
other purpose save that Of enjoyment, and
devote their whole time to seeking pleas
ure.
Look, for instance, at the young lady,
who reclines al her ease, with her mUslc
and novels lying beside her, begulllng
hours, days and weeks, never dreaming
of her responsibilities, but folds her hands
and contents herself with the thought that
there is nothing 10 DO. To-day with her
is the same as yesterday, and tomorrow,
in all probabilities, will be just as to-day,
and in this manner she drags through
life. in kind of uphill fashion, with not
much good done herself or any one else,
and the reason, perhaps, is, because she
did not study TO make herself useful.
While, on the other hand, the good in.
fuence she might have had over The cir
Gle in which she moved cannot be proper
Iy estimated. Means Of doing good are
abundant, if the will and action are right
y adapted 10 them. A really charitable
and benevolent disposition is 10 be admi-
red; bur IN what does it consist? Is 1t in
profession Does the mere grasping OF
the hand, or a lrlalng act Of kindness in
times Of adversely, make known the true
characteristics Of this disposition Yes.
And though smile or kind word spoken
TO those in distress may seem little, and
almost beneath our Oolce, yet they sink
dgep into the hearts Of the afflicted, and
will spring up in love 10 those who be.
stow them, and in after years, when grey
hairs have fringee the aged head, and the
limbs louer beneath a load Of years, more
wildly will the recollection Of by-gone
days present itself to our view, as We lIl
the curtain Of the past and ask ourselves

Girls.

There are two kinds of girls. One is
the kind that appear best abrosd-the
girls that are good for balls, rides. parties
visits, &C., and whose chief delight is tn
such things. The other is the kind thai
appear best at home, the girls that are nse.
fol and cheerful 10 tie dining loom and
all the precincts of home. They differ
widely in character. One is often tor.
meni al home, the other blessing; one is
a moth, consuming everything about her.
The other sunbeam, diffusing life and
g!adness 10 all around her.

Industry must prosper. And let the la
dies, as well as the gentlemen, do some.
Thing; it is the duty Of every one to be
engaged at something. And let US moi
come to the conclusion that il is always
lessons to be learned, or wood piles 10 be
demolished or rebuilt. There are bad
hearts TO govern, vicious inclinations to
be restrained, selfish dispositions 10 be
overcome, many wrongs 10 be rlghted.
There is room for lifelong labor in our
own hearts. UP,then, my young friends,
with strong purpose of life. Don't live
in hope, with your arms folded. Fortune
smiles on those who roll up their leeves
and put their shoulders 10 the wheel.
Therefore, shrink not al the appearance
Of difficulty. Remember that where
there's a will there's way, and that per.
severance is sure guarantee TO success.

A Tale Of Love and Politics.

Toward The latter part Of the summer
of 1910, lad of prepossessing appear
snce entered The beautiful town OF C.
situated on the foot Of Seneca Lake, New
York, near the centre of the Stale. He
had travelled from The Western part OI
Ohio, where his father, widower, had
died from one of those malignant ievers
so common in newly made countries
while overseeing the cultivation of large
tract OF land, IN order 10 regain fortune
ipsI during the disastrous speculalions o
1885.
\ Being an only son. and left among
strangers aller the death of his father
George Wentwo resolved to leave
Ohio, and remove to the State Of New
York, for the purpose OF trying his for
tune in any manner that chance nigh
offer. He had passed through severa
towns and villages on his route, without
meeting with anything TO attract his at
teution, until reaching C.. This fine
town, with It's lovely lake and 6ne scene

obtain employment if possible. and make

POyerty's False Pride.

A religious contemporary says very
Justly: THE idea oil respectable en-
ploymenl' is the rock upon which thou
sands split and ship.wreck themselves and
all who depend on them. All employ
menls are respectable that bring honest
gain. The laborer who is willing TO turn
his hands 10 anything, is as respectable as
the clerk or dapper store.Iender. Indeed
the man who Is ready TO work whenever
work offers, whatever II may be, rather
than lie idle or beg, is far more resPec,
table man than he who turns up his nose
a, hard labor, wesries his friends with his
complaints that lie can get nolhlug resPec'
liable to do, pockets their benelacllons
without thankfulness, and goes on from
day TO day, useless, lazy grumbler."

Remarkable Instance OF Sagacity.
From the Richmond Times.

Yesterday evening passing down Leigh
street, in company "l'h gentleman who
formerly held commission in the Fifth
Virginia Cavalry, Confederate States Ar
my, our attention was attracted 10 mag
nifceni bay horse, ridden by a United
States officer, csntering towards us. As
he drew near our companion said that he
once owned the animal, but lost him in
one of Gen. Early's fights last fall IN the
Valley, where he himself was wounded
and The horse csptared, and that so great
was the attachment Of the horse TO him
then, that he believed he would now re-
coguize his voice. Seeing we looked in
credLlous, 10 remove our doubts he pro-
posed trying the experiment; so stopping
the officer, lie commenced 10 relate The
circumstance, as an excuse for SO doing,
when The horse with loud neigh OF re-
cogniton rushed up TO him, and could
moi be restrained from rubbing his head
and neck on bis former master. he
seemed, by his every action. tying 10 ex.
press his delight and pleasure al The NEE
Ting, and, when we left, required the most
vigorous application Of whip and spur TO
prevent his following his former master.
His present owner said that since he has
been in his possession, he had been IN
constant use, but was very vicious. never

The Laugh Of Woman.

A woman has no natural gift more be.
wityhing than a sweet laugh. Ii is like
the sound Of flutes on the wafer. Il
leads from her in clear, sparkling rilli
and The heart that hears it feels as il
balbed in The cool, exhileraling spring.
Have you ever pursued an unseen fugi-
tive through trees, led on by fairy
laugh-now here, now there, now lost,
now found We have: and we are pur.
suing that wsndriDg voice 10 this day.
Sometimes il comes 10 US in the midst OF
care, or sorrow, or irksome business; and
then we turn away and listen, and hear
i, ringing through the room like silver
bell, with power 10 scare away the evil
spirits of the mind. How much we owe
to that sweet laugh II turns The prose
into poetry; it filings showers Of sunshine
over the darkness of the wood in which
we ore travelling; it touches with ligh'
even our sleep, which is no more the
image of death, but is consumed with
dreams that are the shadows of immor-
tally.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
BY HELEN n. FLAG O.

A waste Of land, sodden plain
A lurid sunset sky:
W,b clouds that fed and faded fast
In ghostly phantasy.
field upturned by trampling feet;
A field up-piled with slain,
With horse and rider blent in death
Upon the battle plain.
The dying aud the dead lie low,
For them no more shall rise
The evening moon nor midnight stars.
Nor daylignt's soft surprise.
They will uoi wake to tenderest call,
Norsee again each home,
Where waiting hearts shall thrOb and break
When this day S tidings come.
Two soldiers, lying as they fell
Upon the redleQed clay
In daytime, foes at night, in peace
Breathing their lives away.
Brave hearts had stirred each manly breast
Fate only made them foes
And lying, dying, side by side,
a soltened feeling rose.
"Our time is short" one faint voice said ;
To-day we've done our best
On different sides. What matter now
Tomorrow we're at rest.
Life lies behind. might not care
For only my own sake
But far away are other hearts
That this days work will break.
"Among New Hampshire's snowy bills
There pray for me tonight
A woman and little girl,
With hair like golden light"
And at the thought broke forth, at last,
The cry Of anguish wild,
That would no longer be repressed,-
"0h God my wife, my child !"
"And said the other dying man,
Across the Georgia plain,
There watch and wait for me loved ones
III never see again.
a little girl, with dark, bright eyes,
Each day waits at the door;
The fathers step, the fathers kiss
VIII never meet her more"
To-day we sought each others lives,
Death levels all that now
For soon before Gods mercy seat
Together we shall bow.
Forgive each other while VIC may
Life's but wesry game,
And right or wrong the morning sun
Will find US, dead, the same"
The dying lips the pardon breathe
The dying hands entwine
The last ray dies, and over all
The stars from heaven shine
And the little gIrl With golden hair,
And one with dark eyes bright,
On Hampshire's hills and Georgia's plain,
Were f4therless that night.
