The next morning the regular editor

ed, and said to Mark:
My friend, as | am an honest man,
the street out here is full of people, and
others are roosting on the fences, waiting
to get glimpse of you, because they
think you are crazy And well they might,
after reading your editorials. They are a
disgrace to journalism. Why, what put
1t into your head that you could edit
paper OF this nature? You do not seem
to know the first rudiments of agricul-
ture. You speak Of a furrow and a har-
row as being the same thing; you talk Of
the moulting season for cows: and YOU
recommend the domestication Of the pole
cat on account Of its playiuness and its
excellence as ratter. Your remark that
clans will lie quiet if music be played to
them, was SUPPLEMENTARY superfu-
Gus. Nothing disturbs CLAIMS. CLAIMS
ol'roys lie quiet. CLANS care nothing

qulring Of ignorance the study of your

favor, is simply calculated to destroy this

you to go. Nothing on earth could per-
suade me to take another holiday Oh,

Mark Twain as an Agricultural Editor:

2 ME regular editor of an Agricultural
Il paper being in need Of holiday,
Mark was secured to take his place tenn
porarily. The first edition Of the paper
under his charge had the following arti-
clcs:
Turnips should never be pulled-it
Injuries them. 1t is much better to send
up a boy and let him shake the tree.
" The guano is fine bird, but great
care is necessary in rearing it. 1t should
not be imported earlier than June nor la
ter than September In the winter it
should be kept in warm place, where it
can hatch out its young.
" 1t is evident that we are to have a
backward season for grain. Therefore it
will be well for the farmer to be setting
out his corn-stalks and planting his buck
wheat cakes in July instead Of August.
Concerning the Pumpkins This ber-
ry is a fayorite with the natives of the
interior Of New England, who prefer it to
the gooseborry for the making of fruit
cake, and who likewise give it the pref
erence over the raspberry for feeding
COWS, as being more filing and fully as

culent Of the orange family that will
thrive in the North, except the gourd and

"My team comprised three dogs. The
leader was fine black dog named Ikkee
who had magnificent bushy tail, which
was always erect and curly. The next
one was black and white. and called
Sawashka, hard worker and of aimable
disposition. Next the sled was old
Kamuk. my favorite, and the ugliest doc
in the brigade. His tail poorly furnished
ed with hair, was usually between his
legs his ears were short. and scored with
the marks of many battles. His face was
stolid. and exhibited emotion only when
feeding time came. or when some other
dog ventured too near or Jagged behind
His body was large, and his legs we're
like pillars his color was white, with dirty
spots Altogether he looked a Good deal
like a lean pig But how hewould pull
y description can give but faint idea
Of dog driving. 1t is an art itself. The
nature Of dogs is cross-grained, and they
frequently do the wrong thing with APP
parent!y the best intentions. Each has a
peculiar look and character. Some are
ireclaimably lazy, others enjoy hard
work unless pushed too far; some are
greedy and snappish, others good humor-
ed and decorous. All are very practical
showing affection only for the man that
feeds them. Hence the voyaeeur should
always feed his own team himself They
dislike the whip, not only when in use,
but in abstract They will always DESTROY
one if they can get at it. The whip is
made with a short handle, very long
lash braided Of leather or seulskin, and
usually loaded with sheet lead or bullets
in the core.
AS we walk behind the sled, which or
dlnariiy travels about four miles an hour
we have an excellent opportunity Of

ingraIned IN thew nature. 1t exhibits

every bush, stump, or lump of ice that
they pass on the road. When travelling
rapldly,some dog would stop twenty times
an hour to examine any bush or twg

rest in the earth, but returned to the ark
so the eye Of God passed over the earth

on JESUS; and it now rests with the
same delight on every sinner that believes
Jesus. WONDERoUs GRACE!

SATURDAY NIGHT.

The work-day week has cast its yoke
OF troublous toll and careful quest
The lingering twilight's saffron cloak
Trails oer the dusky west,
And curfew clocks, with measured stoke,
Chime in the hour Of rest.
From fallow fields and woody dells
The crickets chirp their pleasant lays
The kline come up with tinkling bells,
Through all the loomy ways;
And buckets drip by busy wells,
And rudy ingles blaze.
His whirling wheels the miller stops,
The smith his silent anvil leaves,
His ringing axe the Joiner drops,
No more the weaver wcaves
His loaded vain the peddler props
Beneath the tavern caves.
A happy hush, tranquil balm,
AS if the weekday work and care
Were lifted of, and left us calm,
IcINauc InC quiet ar
A sense Of a silent psalm,
A feeling as Of prayer.
For now the night, with soft delay,
Seems brooding like tender dove,
While the last hours of Saturday
Shut in the hours of love,
And the sweet Sabbath spans the way
To holier homes above.
God help us, since here below
Few Saturdays are ours at best,
And ont of pain and earthly woe,
Few days of Sabbath rest
God grant us that we may yet know
The Sabbath of the blest.

from which redemption springs The per-

power of enjoyment; and everlasting

result.
