THE APPLE TREE IN THE LANE.

I. .t,,J close by where on a leathern hinge
The gate swung back from the grassy lane,
When the cows come home, when the dusky eve
lis mantle threw over hill and plain.
r. branches, knotty and gnarled by time,
Waved to and fro in the idle breeze,
When the Spring days wove blushing crown
nj blossoms bright for the apple trees.
t, shadow fell DER the crystal stream
That all the long, bright Summer days,
like It silver thread, mid the waving grass
Reflected back the golden rays
0+ the MONDAY sun that madly strove
70 drink the fount of the brooklet dry,
p1t the light clouds showered tear-drops down
TIL the glad brook laughed as it glided by.
Never were apples half SO sweet
Golden Russet striped with red,
4, those that fell on the yielding turf
When she shook the branches overhead.
4 rrvstng place for youthful friends
Was the apple tree in the days of yore
lrl oft we've sat beneath its shade
And talked bright dreams of the future DER.
Mi when the warm October sun
-Aoue on tAe naples scarlet robe,
Nc gathered apples sound and fair,
And round as our own mystic globe.
TIA, stately hemlock crowns the hill,
The dark pines rise above the plain
But the one We prize far more than they,
The apple tree in the pasture lane
Long years have passed, and COWS no more
Come home at night through the grassy lane
Where the gate swung back on leathern hinge
l,tgnd and gaze on the far off plain;
No more We list to the music low
ot the crystal stream as it ripples on,
And the apple tree III the paatule lame
Is but Il dream of the days by-gone.

How Docs GET MAD. -Nine-tcnths of the
people are in ignorance in regard to the
premontion of madness in dogs One of
the earliest signs of madness in dogs, and
one which should always arouse attention
on the part Of those in charge Of dogs, is a
sullcnncss combined with fidgctncss-
When it means rabjRes, (madncss) the dog
retires to his bed for several hours, and
may be seen curlcd up, his face buried be-
tween his paws and breast. He shows no
disposition to bite and will answer to the
call, but he answers slowly and suIIcnly
After while he becomes restless, seeking
ont new resting places, and never satisfied
long with one. He thenreturnS to his bed
but continually shifts his posture. He
rises up and lies down again, settles his
body in a variety of posturcs, disposes his
bed with his paws, shaking it in his mouth
bringing it to a heap on which he carefully
lays his chest, and then rises up and bundles
it out of his kennel If at liberty, he will
seem to imagine something lost, and will
eagerly search around with strange vio-
lence and indecsion That dog should be
watched. If he begins to gaze strangely
about him, as he lies in bed, and if his
countenance is clouded and suspicious, we
may be certain that madness is coming on.

sword and brace of pistols, occupied the
large apartment OH the ground floor. The
landlord was to admit the robbers one at Il
time, as had been arranged by the Captain
of the band himself and as fast as they
entered they were to be secured and gagged
and bound, Or killed outright, as circum-
stances warranted.
The hour for the attack drew near, and
every heart beat anXiOusly. The coolest
man of the party was the Captain. Uncon-
scously, he had assumed entire direction
Of the affair, and the young Baron and his
followers obeyed him implicitly, seeming to
recognize his fitness for position without
question.
A stealthy footstcp approached the door
and the landlord, assisted by the cold bar
rel of a pist@, which felt disagreeably
close to the back of his head admitted a
robber, who was instantly secured. An
other followed, until it came to the eighth
"a stout, brawny fcIlow-who, by her
cucan effort, twisted his throat out of Cap
tain Benard's grasp, and shouted at the
top Of his lungs:
1--WE are betrayed y
Two other robbers who were close be-
hind, discharged their carbines in at the
door, and instantly rctrcatcd \ yell Of
pain answered the discharge, and one man
fell i'll the hostclry. The door was instantly
shut and barricaded. Lights were brought
forward, and the man who had fallen was
raised 1t proved to be the landlord. He
was quite dead, both bullets having taken
effect in his body
After a brief consultation the robbers
aH in DIV at
tempting to hew it open with axes which
they had procured from the stables. They
were met with a iusiladc of pistol shots
that thinned them to onc-half before they
had forced the door, and then it was the
bcscged that sailed forth, and not they
that entered. The survivors Of the band
fed
The fight was over. Fifteen of the band
were killed, wounded, and prisoners. The
prisoners were treated with the summary
Justice Of military times, being shot at sun
rise by the Baron's followers
The Baron and his sister renewed th,
journey III the morning, attended by
Captain Bernard, whom the Baron furnished
with horse by dismounting one Of his
own followers and Bonita, whom the Coun-
tess had engaged as maid.
The Captain left the Baron at the first
stopping place. They parted wit! mutual
expressions Of regret. But they were dcs-
tined to meet again. On the bloody field
of Lutzeno, when Pipsenheim fell, and his
routed cavalry fled i'll dismay before the
impetuous charge of the Swedcs, Ravens
burg was made prisoner. He was led be-
fore the victor Of the wcl-fought field,

of Gustavns Adolphns, and in the brave

The Springfield Republican has a capital
article on this subject Here are some ex-
tracts
THE FIRST LONG-rAILED COAT.
We do not believe that any boy put on
his long-tailed coat without sense of
shame. He first twists his back half off
looking at it in the glass, and then when
he steps ont Of doors it seems to him as if
all creation was in broad grin. The sun
laughs in the sky; the cows turn to look
at him there are faces at every window ;
his very shadow mocks him. When he
walks by the cottage where Jane lives, he
dare not look up for his life The very
strange spectacle, and the old pair ofpants
with derision, or'if he is obliged to pass
group Of men and boys, the trial assumes
its most terrific stage. His legs get mixed
up with embarrassment, and the flap Of the
dangling appendage is felt upon them, ,mov-
ed by the wind of his own agitation he
could not feel worse were it dish-cloth
worn as a badge of disgrace. 1t is hap
py time for him when he gets to church and
sits down with his coat tail under him
but he is still apprchensvc with thinking
of the Sunday School, and wonders if any
of the children will ask him to " swing his
long-tail blue"
GOING HOME WITH THE GIRLS.
The entrance into society may be said to
take place after boyhood has passed away,
yet multitude take the initiative before
their boards are presentable. 1t is great
trial, either to a tender or tough age. For
an overgrown boy to go TO door, know
ing there are a dozen girls inside, and to
knock or ring with absolute certainty that
in two minutes all their eyes will be upon
him, is severe test of courage. To go
before these and make a satisfactory tour
of the room stepping on their toes, and then
to sit down and dispose Of ones pockets, is
an achievement which few boys can boast
If boy can go so far as TO measure off ten
yards Of tape with one Of these girls and
chance to pass a pleasant evening, but let
him not flattcr himself that all the trials of
the evening are over. There comes, at last
the breaking up The dear girls don their
hoods and put on their shawls, and look so
saucy and mischieyous and unimpressible
with them. Then comes the pinch, and the
boy that has the most pluck makes up to
the prctticst Girl, his heart i'll his throat, and
his tongue clinging to the roof Of his mouth,
and crooking his elbows, stammers the
words, Shall ! see you home ~ She
touching her finger to his arm, and they
walk home about foot apart, feeling
as awkward as a couple of goSlings.
As soon as she is safe inside her own doors,
he struts home, and has really been and
gone and done it. Sleep comes 10 him at
la,t with 1rnornc Of f'or,Iina and Calico
and he awakens in the morning, and finds
the door Of life open to him, and the pigs
squeezing for breakfast
