THIS STRANGE, MYSTERIOUS LIFE OF
MINE.
BY META

This strange, mysterious life of mine,
Where is it tending?
To that bright home where angels dwell,
In Joy amending
Or to the world where grief and pain
Know no tomorrow,
Where gladness never reigns, but deep,
Eternal sorrow?
. This life, now earthly, is, know,
But the beginning
OF one that ne'er shall end, shall
Spend it in winning
A crown of glory, that shall wreath
My brow forever;
Or one of thorns may remove,
All! neyer-neyer
How strange, that though this mortal life
Is short and fleeing,
And warnings of uncertainty
We're often meeting;
Yet we go on, engrossed by sin,
Gods claims deferring;
Instead of treasure in the skies,
Earth's cares preferrlng.
Time, time we say. it now must claim
Our first attention,
Nor pause to think tits Satan's work,
His own invention,
To lure poor sinners ever on
To some tomorrow,
When they may seek for God, but ali!
Twill end in sorrow.
But shall frail mortal lift his voice,
Presuming-daring, -,
Brief time with dread Eternity
To stand comparing?
IT'S Gods command, His written word
.l Leaves no excusing,
Heavens Kingdom first, all other good
We'll meier be losing. ..n-.c
Then let us seek that we may find
The hidden treasure,
u Nor vainly spend our feeting hours
In worldly pleasure ssif
TITS better far to live for Christ,
His cause upbuilding,
Than all the crowns that earth can give
With glory gliding.
IfHeaven is ours, a home above
iii ~ Where Christ is dwelling,
Where saints and angels tune their harps
With anthems swelling,
Earth's brightest joys will seem but dim,
And each deep sorrow,
But press US on where ever dawns i.t'
A glorious morrow.

STRAW FOR HORSES. The value of straw
as a feeding substance was never better
proved than by the following fact A firm
having large number of heavy wagon
horses, had frequent occasion for the veter-
mary surgeon, until they were recommend
ed to mix certain portion of fne-cut straw
with the clover hay This has been praotio
ed now for some years, and their bill for
horse dootoring is at a minimum. The part.
her Of the firm who told me this, said how
advantageous it was not to be deprived, as
they formerly were, of the use of several
horses-to say nothing of the saving in ex-
pense and loss. The fact is the food was too
rich Or too mueilaginous, for I have often
been told that fno-cut hay, unmiixed with
straw chaff, balls in the stomach, and thus
is, suppose, deprived of the action of the
gastric juices We know that too succulent
or rich grasses are injurious, and no deabs
straw chat mixed with it acts mechanically.

that for several thousand horses belonging

EXCELLENT WuITEwAsH AS the house
cleaning will soon be here. it may not be
amiss to say a few words in regard to white
washing. There are many receipts publish
ed, but we believe the following to be the
best that can be used: White chalk is the
best substitute for lime as wash. A very
fine and brilliant whitewash preparation Of
chalk is called "Paris White" This NC
buy at the paint stores for three cents a
pound retail. For each sixteen pounds of
Paris White we procure half pound of the
white transparent glue, costing twenty-five
cents, (ffty cents pound The sixteen
pounds of Paris White is aboat as much as
a person will use in . day 1t is prepared
as follows; The glue is covered over with
Geld water at night, and in the morning is
carefully heated-without scorching-untill
dissolved. The Paris White is stirred in
with hot water to give it the proper milky
consistency for applying to walls, and the
dissolved glue is then added and thoroughly
mixed. It is then applied with brush like
the common lime whitebrush Except on
very dark and smoky walls, a single coat is
sufficient. It is nearly equal in brilliancy
to ''zinc white" far more expensive arti.

A CALIFORNIA MILLIoNA1RE.-A letter
from San Francisco, speaking of the richness
Of the White Pine mining district in Neva-
da, says there is now in that city a middle
aged man who a year since was at work by
the month as mechanic, and not worth a
dollar. To-day he is worth at least 81 ,000,-
600 in hard coin, and his income from one
mine alone in White Pine is a over $500
per day. Heis investing his money in real
estate, in San Francisco. The other day a
friend was joking him on the subject Of mar
riage, remarking that he could now marry
any young lady in San Francisco, to which
he replied: "Well, I knew a gal out West
who was willing to marry me when I hadn't
a cent, and now Pm able, Pm going to
marry her." ,.4 .t.r
The DIFFERENCE. young lady rises
early, rolls up her sleeves, goes in the kitch-
en- to get breakfast, or insists upon doing so.
and afterward, with cheerful and sunny
smiles, puts the house in order without the
assistance of ''mother." She will make a
good wife, and render home a paradise.
Young man, .'get her." aes4 se.-
Another young lady is a parlor beauty,
pallid from company, dissipation, and want
of exercise reads. novels, and almost dies
of laziness, while her poor old mother does
her washing. She is a useless piece of fur
niture, an annoyance to her own household,
and curse to the husband she may chance
to ''rope in" and will go whining to her
grave. Young man, "Aet her alone!"
