OVER TAIE WAY.

! Gone in her childish purity
Ont from the golden day;
Fadiug away in the light 30 sweet
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Paving path for her waxen feet
Over the silentway.
Over the bosom tgnderly
The pcarlwhtc hands are pressed;
Tho la.he. lie on the checks 50 thin,
Where the soltcst blush Of the rose hath been,
Shutting the blue other eyes within
The pure lids closed in rest
Over the sweet brow lovingly,
Twncth her sunny hair;
She was so frail that Love sent down
From hi. heavenly gems tha,.oft, brishtcrown,
To shade her brow with it. wave. SO brown,
Light As the dImplng air,
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Frolc on her silent lips.
by the farewell kiss Of her drwy breath,
Cold in the clasp Of the angel of Death,
Like the last fair bud Of a fading wreath
Whose bloom the white frost uips.
Rosebud under your shady leaf.
Hid from the sunny day,
DO you miss the glance Of the eye so bright,
Who's" blue was heaven in your timid sight?
It, bcamiuE now in the world Of light
Over the starry way.
Hearts whore the dariing's head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray,
Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land
o, she waits for US with the angel band
Over the starry way.

"PAss AT MUD SPRINGS. - The
reader viii find a subject for quiet
smile over the annexed:
A good story is aaoat that citizen
Of Mud Springs, CAL, could find nothing
sufficiently superb in St. Louis to "pass
at Mud Springs" he was saying almost
constantly that everything was very
we'll, but it wouldn't "pass at Mud
Springs" At length he was introduced
into the family of rich merchant, who
had daughter "just nineteen years
DID, the young lady admired, nay,
loved the Californian, and the merchant
thought of instigating marriage. He
took the Californian aside, and said -
We'll, sir, ] am man Of business,
and Judge you are, Now, sir, what
do you think Of my daughter?" The
interrogator lnomentarily startled tho
gentleman from Mud Springs, but he
rose above the agitation, and was him
self again, as replied: "Well, old man,
your girls a snorter, but III be darncd
if she'l! pass at Mud Springs"

A man who was sure to get drunk

turning home in his cart 10 a state Of
intoxication. His cattle stopped on
the way, and some one who was pass

upfastened the cattle from the cart, and
started them toward home. Several
hours afterward the man, aroused from
his stuppor, rubbed his eyes aud looked
about. WELL" said he, asone ono

Horses.


I wish to call the attention of the
farmer to this subject. Did you ever
know of time but when a good
horse would sell at high price2
When beef, pork, mutton, or wool
would not sell for enough to hardly
pay the cost of production, even then
good horses sold readily, at paying
price; the reason why they COM
mand a high price is because they
are scarce.
If you will take the trouble to ex-
anime the brood mares in your town
or county, you will wonder that
there are any good ones. Occasion
ally you will find good mare, and
the owner most assuredly knows
that it requires such TO bring forth
good colts. You will find mora than
three fourths of the brood mares are
either deformed, ugly, lame or brok-
en- down by hard work, SO they are
unfit to drive on the road, or work
on the farm. and the owner keeps
them in some back lot. Should he
be fortunate enough 10 raise good
appearing colt, he is ashamed to
show the mother for fear it will spoil
the sale Of it. Can you expect to
improve the breed of horses by such
method as this-or will yeu 60 on
in this way until you force the man
of money in search of good horses,
to make journey to some other
place ere he finds such? Let us act
for our own interest, and breed bet
ter mares, and use better stock
horses and shun the worthless ones,
that flood the country, offering their
services for mere trifie. 1t costs
no more to grow a four year old
colt, that will sell for three or four
hundred dollars, than it does one
that will sell for seventy-fve or one
hundred dollars.
