A Great South American Slaughter HOus

a Great South American Slaughter House.
From the Buenos Ayrcs Correspondence Of the
Providence JouTnal.I
THE iSa7adera is truly feature ofthis
country. Let me give you picture Of
the largest in South America. It's that
Of Sir De Fonde, across the cove or inner
harbor. from Montevido. The Surgeon
Of the q. S. steamer Susquehannah and
vour correspondent visited it one morn
ing before breakfast by way Of getting
up an appetite. Well mounted and spur
red, We started from the Hotel Oriental
at sunrise. and after a pretty morning
ride Of five miles We approached the es-
Enlistment. The strong ordor from the
tallow boilers and the bone kilns, signi-
fed our approach, while yet almost a
league away. Over the plain before us
as we rounded the head of the cove, we
saw an enclosure, perhaps of thirty acres,
in which we're broad, low, black looking
roofs, covering a large area, in the center
of which stood a tall brick chimney
from which rolled the foul black smoke
of the bone kilns We found the cattle
pen on the side next US in our approach
The pen is a circular area of two or three
acres, surrounded by fence about nine
feet high, very strongly built. From its
gate on the side next us. two great fences
opened into the plain, like very jaws of
death as they are, the distance between
constantly widening as they extend from
the pen. Opposite this gate is>another,
which opens into a lane OF passage about
one hundred feet long and fifteen feet
wide at the head and eight at the foot
Into this the cattle are driven in lots of
80. more or less, at once. At the further
end of this is the slaughter house, a
building several hundred feet in length
and about 40 feet wide sloping toward
either side from railway track in the
center running the entire length on either
side. On the outer border of the slopes
is a deep gutter for carrying off the blood.
The floor of the lane above referred to is
of plank. and the ground has sufficient
fall from the pen to the slaughter floor
to give an elevation of about two feet to
this floor at its lower end. Into this and
forming a part of it, truck fits upon
which the slaughtered OK is carried, to
such dresser along the route as may have
dispatched his last. On the outside of
the passage of death, as I shall call the
lane above described, and fitting against
the fence, is a platform about five feet
high and four feet wide, running its en-
tire length. Upon this stands the Matador
with his lasso, the other end of which
runs through a pulley, and to it are at
tached two horses harnessed side by side,
each with a rider, whose beat is at right
angles to the passage of death at its
lower end, and on the same side with the
platform. The NatGdor throws the Iasso,
catching by the horns or head, one, two,
or three animals, as the case may be-
He sings out " F8ta 6uenaI" which mean,
cit is WELL" or " all right" and away
galIop the horses, snatching the cattle

Work and Health.

THE law of health requires activity f;
for, as soon as a man is inactive in body
and mind he begins to have thousand
namelcss ills and aches, thousand sleep
less nights and tormented days. It is
quite enough, in many cases, for the ply
sician, when he comes to see the patient,
to look upon the person, tojustify him in
saying, even without examining the
tongue or feeling the pulse, "A violent
attack of laziness has undermined your
health ;" and the remedy in such cases
is moderate doses Of work long continued. I"
And not only is work necessary to
happiness and health, but it is of the ut
most moral benefit. Inriding, it issome-
times the case that you move just slow
enough to carry the dust with, and you
ride in your own dirt. It is exactly so
on the great road OF life. Men go just
fast enough to keep their cores, and
troubles, and dust along with them !;
while if they would drive little faster,
their dust would roll far behind them,
and they would keep themselves clean.
It is good to be active enough to leave
behind you the temptations by which
you are surrounded. More than half of
what men call temptations are nothing
but the protests Of violated natural fac
ulties of the mind whose law is offended.
If you will not give those faculties activ-
ity, they viii be active of themselves !;
and if you do not regulate them, ought
you to be surprised if they are unregula-
ted? Half of what men ordinarily call
temptations are nothing but the attempt
of the mind to be active according to its
own law, unregulated and unsupervised.
By simple occupation a man forestalls
more than half his temptations. Men
who are normally industrious, who have
an even temperament and a good consti-
tuition. who have a pleasing avo3ation,
who are kind and benevolent in disposi-
ton, who have been taught to be devout
toward God, whose life flows on peace
fully. and who are content and satisfied,
have great reason for gratitude and
thankfulnoss. Such men are sometimes
afraid that they cannot be children Of
grace. Under such circumstances give
yourself no anxiety, You are complying

/ THE author was born in Cork about the yeal
| 1900. He was one Of the ablest contributors tc
FFaze7's 1agazias in its best days, about twenty

P4ola's Beliquies1
With deep affection and recollection
often think of those Shandon bells,
Whose sound so wild would in days ofchildhooa,
Fling round my cradle their magic spells.
On this ponder, wheTe'er wander,
\ And thus grow fonder, sweet Cork, of thee;
With thy bells of Shandon,
That sound so grand on
Inc pleasant WiLeF Cl luG IlfCE ASCS.
I've heard bells Ginning full many a cline in,
Toiling sublime in cathedral shrine;
While at a glibe rate brass tongues would vibrate,
But all their music spoke naught like thine:
For memory dwelling on each proud swelling
Of thy belEry kneliing its bold notes free,
Made the bells of Shandou,
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters Of the river Lee.
I've heard bells toIIing " old Abrams Mole " in,
Their thunder rolling from the Vatican,
And cymbals glorious, swinging uproariOus
But thy sounds were sweeter than the dome Of
Peter
filings DER the Tiber, ,pealing solemnly.
o. the bells Of shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
There's a bell in Moscow, while on tower and
kiosko
In St. Sophia the Turkman gets,
And loud in air calls men to PRAYER
From the taperng summit of tall minarets.
Such empty phantoms freely grant them;
But there's is an anthem more dear to me-
'Tis the bells Of Shandon,*
That sound so grand on
The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
#Ths church and spire Of shandon, built on
the ruins Of Old Shandon Castle, are prominent
objects from whatever side the traveller op-
proaches the city Of Cork. There exists pathetic
ballad, composed by some exile when " eastward
darkIy going,n in which he begins his adieu to
the sweet spot thus: Farewell to thee, Cork,
and thy sucarioaf steeple," &c, sc. But rs
nothing is done in ireland in the ordinary routine
Of suhlunary things, this belfryis built on anove
md rather dron principle of architecture, viz:
one side is a Of gray stone and the other all red
like the Prussian soldiers uniform trousers,
one leg blue the other green.

with the great fundamental conditions of
existence, and you are rsaping the re-
munerations of obedience, and your hap
piness in over-measure is the result Of
the mind in the situation in which yeu
are placed In life. Blessed are the men
that work so that Satan cannot find
them, nor tempt, nor hurry them;
Moreover, in work there usually is
moderation It sobers us. The body
needs discipline and trial, and work gives
them. There should be bodily work
therefore. The mind needs exercise in
every faculty, and works gives it. There
should be mental work therefore. The
steeds in our stable, If we keep them up
too many days, and feed them too high,
are, when we take them out, more ft for
-capering than for work. And as it is
with a steed, so it is with each faculty.
It needs the steadying power Of labor to
keep down its temper, and bring it with
in the limits of due moderation.
Work, then, is important as a means Of
moral benefit, of health and Of happiness
And God from all eternity has said,
+" Cursed be the indolent. and blessed be
the active" It is plain as though it
had been proclaimed from Mount Sinai.
And if there has arisen in the mind of
any one the notion that there is q normal
state in which a man shall be relieved
from work, either in this world OF the
next, it is false. There is no such con-
ception consistent with the creative idea
of God. Man was created according to
a plan, the primal element Of which was
to work. Work is not only philosophi-
cally but practically the condition Of
human life. It is the actual law of ex-
istence in this world. The population
of the globe, comprehensively considered,
are not a population lifted above the ne
eessity of laboring. Men work for liv-
ing literally. Their life is paid for by
the price Of labor. They work for the
liberty of living. Where, in tropical
climates, there is no necessity for work,
Nature takes out Of the full measure of
mans life as much as they lack in activ-
ity. In the tropics men viii not work,
and they are only half men. In the
temperate zones they do work, and they
are full men. In the frigid zones they
cannot work, and again they are only
half men. Such are the general facts
but wherever the law of wholesome work
is obeyed, there manhood is developed,
you look at latitudes or classes
in society. And it may be laid down as
not only a philosophical statement, but
. practical law of the human family,
that work is always an indispensable
condition of proper ezistenoe.-Henry

pass that while the ubiquitous vender OF
small wares slept, the African was walking in
the darkness, darkly. And it came to pass
that as he was walking thus, he accidentally
