BREAKINC COLTS.

In the spring of the year, while the
ground is soft and the temper sobered by
low feed and relaxing atmosphere, s;the
best time to commence handling colts. -
In the first place, the handling of colts
should not be entrusted to reckless and
foolish boys, who will go about it without
sense or reason. The education of colt is
like the education of child, requiring just
as much judgment, and more watchfulness,
than when the colt or the child come to .
better understanding of themselves and
those they have to deal with. -.
The first operation is what is termed hal
ter.breaking; but all colts should be ham
died with the halter from the time they are
able to runeWith the dam, and should need
no 'halter.breaking." When this Is done,
the first operation is to accustom the colt
to the bride bit. This should be done with
perfect gentleness and progressive applica-
ton of the rein, so that the colt will under
stand what is wanted, instead Of being as
tonished by applications which he cannot
comprehend. To put a green colt into a
biting tackle, truss up his neck until his
chin nearly touches his breast, and thus
leave him for half day to sulk in the
barn-ysrd, is an Internal outrage that ought
to be penitentisry offence. The pain
thus thoughtlessly Or purposeiy inflicted is
excruciating and inexcusable. -. -: ~
Along with the lessons of bride wisdom,
should come the first lessons in bareback
riding, or riding upon blanket and sur
cingle; from which proceed to gently exer-
else under the saddle. =. =.
The next step is to put the coltein hsr-
ness, by the side of steady and reliable
horse. The harness should be put on for .
while, several times, so he will become &c
customed to it, before, being called upon to
draw in it. ~
Breaking colt, is q misnomer; colt
should never be broken, but tanned and ed
ucated. A colt that is broken has lost the
best qualities of horsehood. A, colt that is
thoroughly educated has arrived at the per-
fection of his race.-Ohio Farmer.

n6- Reindel, the Prussian headsman, lives
in very fine house in the neighborhood of
Havelberg, andsis well off; but his neigh
bors studiously refrain from holding any
intercourse with him. He says he never
met with criminal who was to be behead-
ed but whose courage finally gave way
He thinks hanging would be a better mode
of executions nearly every criminal being
afraid of the pain which they think the axe,
in cutting of their heads, would g i've them.
He says the most trying moment for him is
always that Of his confronting his victim for
the first. time for the purpose of looking at
his neck and cutting off his hair. All the
women whom he beheaded, he says, tainted
as soon as they caught sight of him and
learned who he was, and what he wanted Of
them. He denounces as a wanton cruelty
the practice of reading once more to the
criminal the whole long sentence passed
upon him after he has reached the scafold.
He thinks that there is still sensibility in
the head for several minutes after it has
been severed from the trunk. A woman
beheaded in Mecklenburg, in 1866, had
tainted on the scaffold, and seemed perfect
lily lifeless when she was tied to the block.
After her head was off he picked it up, and
saw to his horror that the eyes opened
slowly, with an expression of great agony.
He thinks the more humane way of execu-
ting criminals would be to kill them in an
hour or an hour and half after their SEN
tence has been announced to them, and not
compel them to walk or ride to distant
place of execution, but to execute them, if
possible, in their own prison ; for the walk
to the scaffold, he says, is always dreadful
torture for the criminal, few Of the strongest
men being able to retain their composure,
while the women, without exception, have
to be carried to the block. Occasionally,
he says, feeble women arouse themselves at
the last moments, and offer the most des-
Iperste resistance, SO that he and bis assls'

NEVER PUT OFF TILL TOMORROW.
81 would like to have you run down to
Mrs. BoWen's for me, Katy, before sun,
down." said Mrs. Nelson to her daughter,
who sat busily stitching away in her little
willow chair. -. :,
80, mother, couldn't I 60, just as well
before school-time to morrow? l have this
pair of pillow-cases almost done Tor my
dolly, and Aunt Martha is going to give
me two nice little pillows and a teather-bed
for her as soon as have the bed-clothes all
made neatly"
"But, my dear, I wish you to take the
money for the work that she has sent home
to-day. She is q poor woman, and may
lneed it.
Still Katy looked reluctantly at the dsin.
ty seying work before her, and laid down
the rufied pillow-case with sigh.
"Perhaps the poor woman is wondering
how she shall buy food for her children to.
morrow" continued her mother. ''Think
what relief it will be to have that care
off her mind"
That thought was enough for Katy's
really benevolent little heart, and she quick
|ly laid up her work in the pretty rosewood
box, 80 it would not be in any ones way,
and prepared herself for her walk.
"Here is a basket with some of AIMS
tea-biscuit and plate of butter" said Ka-
tvs mother "you may take that to Mrs.
Bowen, if it will not be too heavy"
eNo, indeed, MOTHER" said Katy, her
eyes sparkling with pleasure, 81 shall love
to do it. I don't think they have biscuit
and butter very often. Lucy brings just
dry bread to school for her dinner"
"Why, Katy, I did not think they were
so poor as that. Here, you take this cup
of jelly, and some grapes, to the little sick
boy. I dare say they will be refreshing.
I must certainly call around and see them
as soon as ] Can" -.
Katy returned from her kind errand that
night little weary, but very light hearted.
81 am 30 glad I went tonight mother" !"
she said. "They were just sitting down
to supper with only little cake of corn
meal and pitcher of water on the table.

ket, she seemed so glad. She gave the
sick boy his biscuit and grapes first, and l
wish you could have seen how happy his
pale face looked s-r-z
81 am very glad, too, that you went to-
night" said her mother; 'and hope. you
will learn this lesson from it-never put off
doing kind action till tomorrow, when
you can do it to-day. A good man was
urged not to 60 out on stormy evening to
pay bill to poor laborer, as tomorrow
would certainly do as we'll, but he answer
ed, Think what blessing a good mig hts
sleep is to poor man. This may relieve
some anxiety which would cause him asleep
less night The command to Gods ancient
people is one which we should remember: !:
THE wages of him that is hired shall not
abide with thee all night until the morning.
So, you see, dear Katy, it was an act Of
Justice as we'll as kindnesato take the mon
ey tonight, instead of putting it off till
another day."

A DANISH LEGEND.

It was during the Swedish war OF th'
seventeeth century, that after battle II
which the enemy had been worsted, bur
CHER of Flensbourg was about to refrest
himself with draught of beer from wood
en- bottle, when he heard the cry of a woun
ded Swede, who fixing his longing eyes OF
the beverage, exclaimed:
81 am thirsty, give me. q drink"
Now the burg her of Flensbourg was 6
kind man, and though he suffered greatly
himself, he replied at once
"Thy need is greater than mine."
And kneeling down beside the wounded sol
der, he poured the liquor into his mouth
But the treacherous Swede, taking advan
tage of the unarmed state of his benefactor
fred his pistol as he bent down, woundine
him in the shoulder. Then the burg
sprang upon his legs, and Indignantly, ex
claimed:
"Rascal! would have befriended you
and you would have murdered me in return
now I will punish you. would have giver
you the whole bottle, butyou shall have only
half" .. g. @.. i--
And drinking one half himself he gave
the remainder to his enemy. When this
reached the ears of King Frederick III, ht
ordered the burg her into his presence ane
then asked him
sWhy did you not kill the rascal?'
"Sire," replied the man, 81 could never
slay wounded enemy"
"Thou meritest to be a NOBLE" said tht
king, and he caused him to be created ont
once, at and gave him for his arms wooder
beer. bottle, pierced with an arrow, while
cognizance was borne by his children til
after the family died out in the person of (
maiden lady, his last descendant.

IMPORTANCE OF SOWING GOOD SEEDS,

GAS ye SOW, so shall ye reap, twas new.
er more true than to-day. Crop after crop
having been taken from our fields for scores
of years, without sufficient application Of
manure, the elements of fertility originally
in the soil, have become partially exhaus
ted, so that much smaller crops, or of q
poorer quality, are now obtained than for.
merly and we cannot afford to have any
of these elements, still remaining, consumed
by the growth of weeds or poor grain.
Why is it that the corn crop is as good
now in all parts of the country as ever
In those parts of New England where am
acquainted, it has been better for the last
ten years than in any previous decade, and
the quality of corn, I believe, is fully as
good in all parts of the country now as it
ever was; but neither the one nor the 9th
er is equally true of any one of our other
cereals, except in certain small localities;
and why is it? I think it is because more
care has been taken in saving and prepar-
ing the seed for our corn-6elds; or rather
bco...see- -bssa-sbte-tu select the
largest, earliest ripened and plumpest ker-
nels for seed.
Till recently, wheat, rye, oats and bar
ley, have been sown, big, plump or small,
weed-seeds and all and as .tlike begets
like" our crops have been deteriorating in
quality, and continually growing less in
quantity. Reasoning from analogy, I think
there is no necessity for this and speaking
from observation, think / can say kaoso
there is not. In the vicinity Of Randolph,
VT, the farmers have made increased effort
for several years past to SOW only the lar
gest, earliest ripened and plumpest kernels
of wheat, with the best result as to quality
and quantity. In one case, townsman
harvested forty-three bushels per acre from
four acres. I fully believe that by plant
ing only the earliest and best of all kinds of
seed, not only as large crops as formerly
with proper attention to the soiD can be
raised, but there may be constant i'm
provement in quantity and quality. We
have sinned- -sinned greatly, against kind
Providence, against ourselves, our neigh
bors, our country, and the world, in this
matter. For years we have shown a degree
of common sense in breeding all kinds of
farm stock, paying great prices and going
far even into distant countries to secure
the very best specimens of such animals
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry =
we have put them upon our farms and Civ
en- them the best food and shelter and the
kindest care, even often watching them at
nights, and we have found that it all paid
weu; farm stock has been greatly i'm
proved, and the country benefited thereby.
Why not have as great an interest and
make as great an effort for the improve.
ment of our cereals ?-NeW York Times.
