FARMING MULES.

The mule is most emphatically domes-
tic animal. His eye shows docility, and his
general appearance harmonizes. And this
must be addressed by the trainer. He
must treat the mule as docile, intelligent
animal. He can then lead him into tracta-
bility with ease and he will become the
patient beast of burden, which we so often
see him, doing more service than any other
animal. 1t is an easy matter to form an
attachment for mule-and he appreciates
it at once, and serves you accordingly
But beware of the opposite propensity
He has fund of stubbornness in him, that
will, if excited, seemingly change his ma
ture. And just the reverse of what is want
ed of him will be the result. This he gets
from his father, who is the by-word for
stubbornness. Between these two extremes
of disposition, the trainer of mules must
take his stand, and never let the willful
take the place of the gentle. Mild treat
ment, even affectionate, will a0in a mule
That is the secret. The principle of any
thing must be understood-and we must
work from that-if we wish success. The
qualities of the mule must be understood,
and then judiciously treated. An irritable
person is not the fit person to train mule.
He is pretty sure to spoil it.

HOw3LONG Will; IT DO TO WATT

The following story is taken from an ad-
mirable work just published by the Amer.

DR.. Nettleton had come from the even
ing service, in some country town, to his
home for the night. The good lady Of the
house, rather an elderly person, after bust
ling about to provide her guest with re-
freshment, said, directly before her daugh-
ter, who was in the room; CDR. Nettleton,
T do wish you would talk to Caroline. She
don't care nothing about going to meeting,
nor about the salvation Of her soul. I've
talked and talked, and got our minister to
talk, but it don't seem to do any good. l
wish you would talk to her, DR.. Nettleton. "
Saying which she soon went out of the
room.
DR.. Nettleton continued quietly taking
his repast, when he quietly turned round
to the young girl and said:

they bother you amazingly about this
thing?" z5<}S$ z9szEss .sEzs@s5 z

rGOSSIPING.
The Wabash (Minnesota) Herald gives
H. fo1lo1r;nn, !, sane;h1o odvicn IN ooaainers

The Wabash (Minnesota) Herald gives
the following sensible advice to gossipers
and tale-bearers: t'''
Stop it! Stop talking about your neigh
bors, every one of you, and get up series
of festivities of some kind, or turn your at
tention to something else that will dispose
of the idle hours that Satan is suppose to
monopolize. There can be but little enjoy
ment in this everlasting abuse Of each 9th
er,s and it amounts to nothing except the
running the reputation of some innocent
persons now and then, which, although it
may be considerable, is poor compensation
for the energy displayed. Don't you see,
if there was any merit in this gossip bust
ness, that those who are the most jealous
would deserve the most credit, and you all
know that these Common carriers" are
generally despised. Who ever knew one Of
these vendors, that stands ready sponsor to
every knock-kneed bantling that Madam
Rumor brings forth, to have any friends, or
get anything but curses for her pains p
When you have deposited the filth that you
have been enabled to collect, and are gone,
your confdant turns round and tattoos you
with bad names, and INDUCES in unkind sus-
picions about you, that are but poor pay
for all you have sacrificed to become 60
between. You neglect your duties at home
lose your self-respect; become speaking,
social spy; lay yourself liable to suspicious
that our modest pen leaves you to imagine,
and then get nothing but metaphorical
kicks from all good people. Better stop it,
and take stock in this new woman suffrage
business; circulate petitions, call meetings,
and get up an excitement; wear bloomers
and write poetry, or dispose of your super
abundant cussedness in some way that will
pay. better than gossiping. And you that
are not quite so far gone, stop where you
are, and if you have more leisure than you
can dispose of then getsome rational amuse-
ment-sing, dance, play whist, skate or do
anything else sensible, but don't gossip, and
for your own sakes, when one of those social
dirt-gathers calls to empty her scayenger
cart at your feet, send down ''not at home"
in italics.

The RAILWAY SWITCH TENDER AND HIS

THE RAILWAY SWITCH TENDER AND HIS
CH1LD.-Oh! the value, the inestimable
value to youth, of prompt obedience to
parental commands An anecdote stri--
kingly illustrative of this, as well as setting
forth Christian heroism of an exalted char
acter, has recently occurred in Prussia. On
one of the railroads in that country, q
switch tender was just taking his place, in
order to turn coming train then in sight,
on to different track, to prevent collis-
ion with train approaching in contrary
direction. Just at this moment, on turning
his head, he discerned his little son playing
on the track of the advancing engine
What could he do? Thoug ght was quick at
such moment of peril! He might spring
to his child and rescue him, but he could
not do this and turn the switch in time, and
for want of that, hundreds OLIVES might be
lost. Although in sore trouble, he could
not neglect his greater duty, but exclaiming
with loud voice to his son, "Lie down" !"
he laid hold of the switch, and saw the train
safely turned on its proper track. His boy,
accustomed to obedience, did as his father
commanded him, and the fearful heavy
train thundered over him. Little did the
passengers dream, as they found themselves
quietly resting on that turnout, what ter
rible anguish their approach had that day
caused to one noble heart. The father
rushed forward to where his boy lay, fear
full lest he should find only mangled corpse,
but, to his great joy and thankful gratitude,
he found him alive and unharmed. Prompt
obedience had saved him. Had he paused
to argue, to reason whether it were best
death and fearful mutillation of body, would
have resulted. The circumstances connect
ed with this event were made known to the
King of Prussia, who the next day sent for
the man and presented him with a medal Of
honor for his heroism.
Dear reader, couldst thou have done as
this switch tender did Consider. Thy
darling delight of thine eyes, the joy
of thy heart, about to be crushed and man.
gled by that coming train, and thou couldst
save him by neglecting the switch! The
momentary contest in the bosom of this no.
Bile man must have been intensely agoni-
zing. We can all rejoice with him when he
found his obedient child uninjured by the
mighty hurricane of power that had whirl-
ed over his head-but let US pause and con.
slider, could we have done as he did? And
then another question may well claim the
serious thoughtfulness Of parents. Have we
brought up our children in such habits OF
prompt, unhesitating obedience, as charac-
terized by his little boy?

STRENGTH OF THE BEETLE.-This insect
has just astonished me by it's vast strength
of body. Every one who has taken the
common beetle in his hands knows that his
limbs, if not remarkable for agility, are
very powerful; but I was not prepared for
so Samsonian a feat as that I have just
witnessed. When the insect was brought
to me, having no box Immediately at hand,
I was at lost where to put it till l could
kill it; but quart bottle full of milk be-
ing on the table, I placed the beetle for the
present under that, the hollow at the bot
tom allowing him room to stand upright.
Presently the bottle began to move slowly
and glide along the smooth table, propell-
ed by the muscular power of the imprison-
ed insect, and continued for some time to
perambulate the surface, to the astonish-
ment of all who witnessed it. The weight
of the bottle and contents could not have
been less than three pounds and half,
while that of the beetle was about half an
ounce, so that it really moved weight Of
one hundred and twelve time its own. A
better notion than figures can convey will
be obtained of this fact by supposing lad
of fifteen to be imprisoned under the great
bell of St. Paul's which weighs $4,000
pounds, and to move it to o<and fro upon a
smooth pavemcnt by pushing Within.
