TANNING A HORSE.

A man who "ran his chance" in buying
a horse that no one could handle, paying
$162 SO for him, relates his experience in
tanning the ''terrible' creature as follows :
From the day he entered my stable until
the present, I have never struck him a
blow. I never under any circumstance
strike horse in the stable. Kindness will
accomplish what whipping has just failed to
do. 1 thought had winters job before
me; but the first thing I wished to do was
to win his eonfdence-te teach him to love
me, which ] feel I have effectually done. !
began by giving him apples and potatoes,
which I always taught him to eat from my
hand, and at the same time patted his neck
and head. In this way 1 made rapid strides
in gaining his confidence. What dreaded
most was to harness him. Those ominous
words, "a valuable horse to those who
know how to handle him." were continually
running in my mind. Was I the man
Harnessed he must be, for every days de-
lay was making the matter more difficult
and dangerous. I procured the help of two
good men and began. I admit that my
nerves were little shaky, yet my conf.
dence in managing horse had not all died
out. After some trouble, We got him fair
ly into the shafts, and found myself seat
ed behind him ready for start: But it
was no 60. [ soon learned that there was
no danger of his running-not bit of it
He threw himself back in his harness and
evidently expected ''scrape." But in
this he was disappointed.
I could sit as long as he could stand; and
I waited, said nothing, but waited until he
got tired of waiting, and started off on his
own accord, when I drove him, and could han.
die him with perfect ease. The next day
I tried him again, with the same perform
ance, followed by the same result, and from
that day to the present he has never re-
fused to start when I asked him, or in any
way behave improperly. 1t is the fire anc
the spirit that add value to the steed, wher
broug hit under proper subjection to the
master.
Dan and myself have become the best o.
friends. He is disposed to do anything
ask him, and I'never strike him blow. :!
talk to him if he is frightened. A kline
word from me assures him, and he takes
courage. s-'
He can SNAKE his mile" in three min
utes, or twelve miles an hour; has fine style
and action, and is as good and clever al
animal in the stable or harness as coulc
wish. My boy of twelve can handle hin
and take care of him with perfect safety
It is not the whip that made him what he
lis, but the law of kindness, which always
works best. But I have good and valu
able horse, and I think he has master
who knows how to handle him.

have proved to you where that town line is.
Yes, gentlemen of the jury, there it is, and
there it will remain forever and all the
ingenuity of my learned brother can never,
never eface it-can never wash it out
No gentlemen, he may plant one foot on

THE .FA4 CONTRIBUTORS, ON FARM LIFE,

Being invited recently to deliver an az
ricultural address before Harvest Home
Association in Central New York, on the
occasion of their annual festival, the "Fat
Contribute" consented. We make the
following eloquent extract from his address :
Although fortune Tor perhaps the want
of it) cast my lot amid the struggling mnl-
titude of great city, where you wouidn
see o farm in walk of several squares,
where there are no meadows with their wa
wing potato tops, or wheat6elds ripe for the
woodman's s ak, yet I have always felt deep
interest in the farming classes, and aatter
myself that know something Of the noble
pursuit you follow. I will say here that 1t
has been the ambition of my life to be an
honest old farmer-to earn my bread by
the sweat of hired mans brow. How de-
lightful life on farm must be! I can i'm
agine what vigor is impaired to the frame,
aud what strength to the muscles, by rechn-
ing in the shade and watching the mowers
as they gayly swing their threshing ma
chimes, and then what an appetite one must
acquire for the noontide lunch by observing
the merry reapers at work digging THEN
wheat and raking and binding potatoes
and their-fall apples.
How often, in imagination, have l follow
ed you, as you went forth, Of a summer
morning, when the dew was on the grass
seed, neatly attired in white linen suits
with patent leather boots, with your corn
shelters swung lightly over your shoulders
to cut your winters wood. I have seemed
to hear your merry songs sweeping up from
the meadows, as yeu gathered your water
melons and turnips into your-corn houses
while, mingled with the busy hum Of youl
sorghum evaporators, came the muslca
bleating of your cattle, and the lowing o.
your sheep and poultry. ;
Then, when winter comes, and the SUI
prevents you from continuing your hsying
and the cold north wind shakes eff YOU
ripening strawberries, picture you sitting
by your gas stoves, rnending your flaming
mills, in preparation for your spring plow
ing, or amusing yourself with Beadle's Dime
Book on Agriculture.
Winter on a farm-how delightful J.
What pleasure it must be to fodder th'
chickens in dairy, and to hear the musica ,
clucking of the pigs as they clamor for thel
oats and hay. Then when the winter even
ing comes, and the robin and bobolink hav'
ceased their song and gone to rest on th'
we'll sweep, can imagine no greater de
light than to gather around the blazing fire
place, regardless of the destinations Of tn
storm without, and amuse yourself with ap
pie pairing, knitting, base ball, seven-up
and other athletic games.
envy not, then, the pale dyspeptic VIII
bends from morning until night over hi
sordid ledger in the crowded marts of trade
or the child of idleness and afluence, VIII
grows maturely old amid the dissipation o
the city. They know nothing of the pleas
ures Of life like yours, which believe

SATAN.

SATAN.
An old preacher, who was noted for his
apt original illustrations, had occasion one
Sabbath to draw upon his inventive powers
to illustrate the cunning and assiduous la
bors of the devil. After commenting upon
the power and knowledge Of the wicked
one, and the number and skill of his SER
wants, he startled his congregation with the
announcement that he had seen the great
enemy of souls at work on certain day as
he passed from William C's to John Fs.
The old man said, as he passed along the
way, he saw an. aged woman, frail and
poor. She sat at her wheel struggling to
support couple Of orphan children. These
iittle ones played in the small hut around
their aged grandmother. "But,". contin'
ued the old man, "believe me, my hearers
I saw troop Of devils busily engaged in
decoying the little ones from obedience
and the old woman from duty!"'
"Musing upon this strange sight, l turn
ed the corner and left the main-street ane
passed into an out of the way part of tht
village. Soon I spied two ragged boys
standing at the door Of q dram"shop, ours
ing the proprietor, because he would give
them no more whiskey. About this little
dirty shanty I saw no devils; soon 1 saH
one Of you, my brethren, coming up tai
street and enter the place, and around yor
a whole troop of laughing devils. They
seemed perfectly frantic. They cleared tht
way for your approach, and insisted or
your being treated with respect by every
one."
81 passed on" continued the old preach
er, "and the next individuals I beheld were
group of lads-some of them your sons
my brethren-teasing an old lame beggar
but I saw no devils"
Il passed on. Soon saw some young
men in fine apparel engaged in some limo

asked Satan why he thus acted? IL

MOTHERS.

Each mother is historian. She writes
not the history of empires or of nations,
upon paper, but writes her own history on
the imperishable mind of her child. The
tablet and that history will remain indeli-
bic when time shall be no more. That his:
tory each mother shall meet again, and read
again, with eternal joy or unutterable grief,
in the coming ages Of eternity. This
thought should weigh upon the mind Of
every mother, and render her deeply cir
cumspect and prayerful and faithful, in her
solemn work of training up her children tor
heaven and immortality.
The minds of children are very suscep-
tible and easily impressed. A word, a
look, frown, may engrave an impression
on the mind of child which no lapse Of
time can efface or wash out. You walk
along the sea-shore when the tide is out,
and you form characters, or write words,
or names, in the white, smooth sand, which
is spread out so clear and beautiful at your
feet, according as your fancy may dictate
but the returning tide shall, in few hours,
wash out and efface all you have written.
Not so the lines and characters of truth
and error which your conduct imprints on
the mind of your child. There you write
Impressions, the everlasting good or ill OF
your child, which neither floods nor the
storms of earth can wash out, nor deaths
cold fingers erase, nor the slow-moving
ages of eternity obliterate. How careful,
then, should each mother be in the treat.
ment of her child! How prayerful, and
how serious and how earnest, to write the
eternal truths of God on his mind-those
truths which shall be bis guide and teacher
when her voice shall be silent in death.
GooD ADv1cE.-Joseph Joslin, ESQ.,, Of
Poultney, Vt., gave his daughter, on her
marriage, the following ''words Of wisdom,
which will do for every pair:
Never talk at but to each other.
Never both manifest anger at The same
time.
Never speak loudly or boisterously to
each other.
Never reprove each other in the presence
of others.
Never find fault or fret about what can
not be helped.
Never find fault or fret at what can be

A BAsHFUL BRIDE on 4 WEDDING TOUR

While we were making arrangements 10
pass the night 1--WE cannot say sleep) in the
sleeping car which carried US from Macon
to Montgomery, Alabama, and just as We
had begun to wish for q better bed, the
cars stopped at small station, and a blush
ing couple, sshold of hands," came into the
car. Their appearance, as they stood hesi-
tatingly in the doorway, showed that they
meant strnischief,"~ and were just starting
out on their wedding tour.
eWould you like berth, sir ?" said the
lively, jolly faced conductor of the misera-
bic sleeping car.
s.No, sir-I recon-as may be-that amt
what we want" stammered the bridegroom.
'Haint you got no bridal chamber on this
ere kear pa i .. - :
ssOh, the bridal chamber!' exclaimed
the conductor: "Come this way, sir"
The couple went trembling through the
car to the estate room,' which looked about
as much like a state room on Northern
sleeping car as cell in the county jail ap-
pears like the Parker House parlor.
ssDoes that door shut up p anxiously IN
quired the bridegroom.
"Oh, yes. See how it slides" said the
conductor.
ssBut I'm burned if I see any place to
sleep" suggested the applicant for the
chamber.
"oh, we'll fix that, if you will be seated,
said the conductor, pointing to a low, hard
sofa on the opposite side of the car, close
to the head of our curtained couch.
81 don't like it, so there" whispered
the bride.
''Don't like what?'' said her partner.
'I won't 60 no further, won't if you
keep talking so."
''What have done, I'd like to know
"You told him you didn't see no place to
sleep, andI don't think it was usin' me
right"
"Well, I don't see no place now, neither.
If we've got to be tucked away in that lit
tie hole, well haft ter stan up all night
that's sartin."
"Let's 60 back, Johnny; I'm afraid to &C
any further"
"Oh, no, don't let's go back. Let's stick
er eout.
II can't, I don't like ter. I can't stay
here. There's lots of men behind those
curtains. I'm sick. Iwon't 20 no further
Say, Johnny, let's do 60 home. Do, I want
ter so much" And the fair one began tt
weep as though her heart would break. =,
"Wel, don't cry, Molle, we'll git right
eout at the next place. But Won hadn'1
orter be so fraid o folks now we're mar
ried."
This seemed to quiet her grief, and al
the next station the afflicted couple left the
cars, having paid for the estate room, ane
we heard him, as he stood on the platform
outside, remark:
