THE WEAVER.

A Weaver sat by the side Of his loom,
flinging hi. shuttle last:
And thread that would wesr till the hour
of doom
Was added at ev'ry cast.
His warp had been by the Angels spun,
And his weif was bright and new.
Like threads which the morning unbraids
from the sun.
Jewecd all owe. with dew.
But something there came slow stealing by.
And shade en- the fabric tell:
And saw that he shuttle less blitheiy did

---s--- ------.--...~--s~rrr
But still the Weaver kent wesyng,
Though the fabriek all was gray,
Aud the 40 Aers aud the buds anl the leaves
Were gone,
And the gold threads cankered lay.
And things all strange were woven in sighs,
And down-cru>ied hopes and fears,
And the web was broken and poor aud thin.
And dripped with living tears.
Aud the Weaver fain would have flung IL
aside.
But he knew it would be n sin,
So in light and in gloom the shuttle he piled,
A.weaving these life cord. in.
And as he woye. and weeping. s,il woye,
tempteT sole him nigh.
Ard with gloZing words he to win him ,,roye

How to Kill Lice on Cat
tie.

A correspondent, "R. N" of the
Country Gentleman, dissolved a
bout pint of strong soft soap in a
pail Of warm, soft water, and sat.
urated the whole surface of a lou
sy cows body with it; after about
thirty minutes longer took a pail
of clean warm water and quickly
and thoroughly washed out all the
soap water and dead lice in large
quantities, put her in a warm sta
bic and covered her with a dry blan-
ket. The next day, after being
thoroughly dried, she looked, and
seemed to feel, like a new animal ;
more than double her quantity of
milk within twenty-four hours and
Immediately commenced gaining
general thriftiness.

Hints from the London
Horse Book.

!. all horses must not be fed
IN the same proportion, without
due regard to their ages, their con-
stitutions, and their work.
Because the improperly of such
apractice is selfevideut. Yet il
is constantly done, and is the ba.
sis of disease of every kind.
2. Never use bad hay on account
of its cheapness. Because there
is not proper nourishment in it.
8. Damaged corn is exceeding,
~ injurious. Because it brings
on inflammation of the bowels and
skin diseases.
4. Chat is better for old horses
than hay. Because they can chew
and digest it better.
s. Mix chaffwith corn or beans,
and do not give the latter alone.
Because it makes the horse chew
his food more, and digest it better.
8. Hay or grass alone will not
support horse under hard work.
Because there is not sufficient nu-
tritive body in either. SIC
Z. When a horse is worked
hard its food should be chiefly oats;
ifnot worked hard, its food should
be chiefly hay. Because oats sup
ply more nourishment and flesh
making material than any other
kind of food. Hay not SO much.
s. For a saddle or coach horse,
helf a peck of good sound oats and
eighteen pounds of good hay are
sufficient. If the hay is not good,
add aquarter of peck more oats
A horse which works hard may
have rather more Of each one
that works little should have less.
0. Rack feeding is wasteful.
The better plan is to feed with
chopped hay from a manger. Be-
cause The food is not then thrown
about, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
10. Sprinkle the hay with wa
tcr,that has salt dissolved in it.
Because it's pleasing to the ami
mails taste, and more easily digest
ed. "A teaspoonfnI of salt in
bucket of water is sufficient.
II. Oats should be bruised for
an old horse, but not for a young
one. Because the former, through
old age and defective teeth, can
not chew them properly the
young horse can do SO, and they
are thus properly mixed with the
saliva, and turned into wholesome
uutriment.
II. Grass must always be cut
for hay before the seed drops
Because the juices that ripen the
seeds are the most valuable part
Of the hay. II they are sucked
out by its ripening and dropping,
the grass will not turn into hay,
but Will only wither and grow yell
low.
ID. Vetchcs and cut grass should
always be given in the spring to
horses that cannot be turned out
into the fields. Because they are
very cooling and refreshing, and
almost medicinal in their effects
but they must be supplied in mod
Grafton, as they are liable to fer
ment in the stomach if given
largely.
Il. Water your horse from a
pond or stream rather than from
a spring or wen. Because the lat
Ter is generally hard and cold,
while the former is soft and COM
paratively warm. The horse pre-
fers soft muddy water to hard wa
ter, though ever SO clear.
Is. a horse should have at least
a pail of water morning and eve
ming, or (still better) four half pail
fuls at four several times in the
day. Because this assuages his
thirst without blOating him. But
heshould not be made to work d.
rectly after he has had full
drsught of water, for digestion
and exerticn can never go on to.

Equal Rights in the Road.

Where the entire public, each &C
cording to his own exigencies, has q
right to the use of the highway, in
the absence of any special regulation
by law; the right of each is equal ;
but as two or more cannot occupy
the same place at the same time,
with their persons, their horses, car
riages and teams, or other things
necessary to this use, each is bound
to reasonable exercise of his abso-
Lutte right, in subordination to like
reasonable use of all others, and not
to incumber it over q larger space.
or for longer time, to the danger
Of any other, than is reasonably
necessary to the beneficial enjoyment
of his own right. Each may use it
10 his own best advantage, but with
q just regard to the like right of
Others. Persons in light carriages,
for the conveyance of persons only,
have occasion and of course a right,
when not expressly limited by faw,
to travel at high rate of speed so
that they do not endanger others
But all foot passengers, including
aged persons, women and children,
have aD equal right to cross the
street, and all drivers of teams are
bound to respect their right, and
regulate their own speed and move
ments, in such manner as not to
violate the rights of such passengers.

Hon. Tom Corwin.
Ftou the Cincinnati Commercial


Once more quiet came to us. But
1 found it impossible to sleep, and
turned aneasily to hear, whenever
tho train stopped, the various sorts
OF snore that went up from the tired
travellers. There is quite variety
in this music. One old trombone /
could hear giving out its base notes
regular as high pressure, of still
night, kicking at the lower end of a
sand bar. Another gave out spas
modic SHORTS that intermitted, while
another grew from feeble notes to
loud and louder roars, until about
tho time you would. expect a scream,
or explosion, it suddenly ceases, and
then, after pause, begins again.
heard an amusing anecdote, in
this connection, of the late Thomas
Corwin, very illustrative of his pa
tient politeness. He arrived in Day.
ton, Ohio, late one night, very tired
from al lcng.stage ride during the day.
The agreat humorist..and statesman
retired TO bed, observing as he did 80
that some one occupied another bed
In the opposite corner. The Honor
able Tom was soon fast asleep, and
snoring tremendously. The other
traveller bore this infiction as long
as human endurance could 90 and
then he sang out:
ooh sir, sir, SIR"
| UH ali0 halln - or;a1 IT,, a:44:~.
up wildly in bed "what is the mat
ter?"
ooh sir" exclaimed the sufferer,
"you snore, sir"
"Did | snore? 2" demanded Corwin
"ls it possible ? | really beg your
pardon, sir"
And 30 saying he dropped asleep
again-and again the dreadful snor.
ing went on.
The poor man in the next bed
again complained.
"Sir, sir, oh SIR"
81 say, what is it ?" responded
Corwin.
"You are snoring again, sir"
"Why, really, sir, am ashamed Of
myself | beg thousand pardons fol
my impoliteness"
Again the Senator sought repose
but the snoring was worse than ever
and the sufferer once more called at
tention 10 the offense.
"Iook here, SIR" cried the Sena-
tor, "you have Weakened, me up three
times, and twice have spologized,
what moro can gentleman ask
Now | am tired and sleepy, and il
you disturb me again, why, damn it

How Higgins Gently Broke the News
Prom the Galaxy.

fluh tno hhihkys
"Y es, ] remember that anecd0te,"
the Sunday school superintendent
said, with the old pathos in his voice
and the old sad look in his eyes. 1T
was about simple creature named
Higgins, that used to haul rock for
old Maltby. When the lamented
Judge Bagley tripped and fell down
the courthouse stairs and broke his
neck, it was great question how to
break Tire news to poor Mrs. Bagley.
But finally the body was put into
Higgins wagon and he was instruct
ed to take it to Mrs. B., but to be
very guarded and discreet in his
language, and not to break the news
to her at once, but do it gradually
and gently. When Higgins got there
with his sad freight, he shouted till
Mrs. Bagley came to the door. Then
he said
"Does the wilder Bagley live here'''
"The loidOw Bagley? No, sir !"
"I'll bet she does. But have it
your own way. Well, does Judg.
Bagley live here ?"
Eyes, Judge Bagley lives here"
"I'll bet he don't. But never mind
it amt for me to contradict. Is
the Judge in ?"
"No, not at present"
81 just expected as much. Because
you know take hold O. suthin,
mum, for I'm going to make little
communication, and / reckon maybe
it'll jar We some. There's been an

edge, yourself, that an inquest is

A THOUGHT FOR EVERY DAY.-We
see not in life the end of human actions
the influence never dies. In ever
widening circles it reaches beyond
the grave. Time determines what
shall be our future condition in fu-
ture world. Every morning when
We GO forth, we lay the moulding
hand Of destiny OF our character
We touch no wire but what vibIates
in eternity. We utter no voice but
what reports at the throne of God
Let youths especially think of these
things, snd let every one remember
that in this world character is in it's
formation state. 1t is a serious thing
to think, to speak, to aot.-Patrick
