Saved BY a Horse.

Let any man who ever struck a faithful
horse in anger read this true story and he
ashamed of himself:
Some years since a party of surveyors
had just finished their days work IN the
northwestern part Of Illinois when "a viO-
lcntsnoW storm came on, They started for
their camp, which was grove of about
eighty acres in large prairie, nearly
twenty miles from any other timber.
The wind was blowing very hard and
The snow drifting so a. to nearly blind
them. When they thought they had nearly
reached their camp, they all Mt once came
upon tracks in the snow. These they looked
at with care, and found, to their dismRy,
that they were their own tracks
1t was now plain that they were lost on
the great prairie, and that il they had to
pass the night there, in the coldand snow,
the chance was that not one of them would
be alive in the morning.
While they were all shivcring with fear
and the cold, the chief man of the party
caught sight of one of their horscs--a gray
pony known as cold Jack.
Then the chief said, "If any one can
show us our way to camp, out of this blind
ing snow, Old Jack can do it. / will take
off his bride and let him loose, and we
can follow him. | think he will show us
the way to our camp"
The horse, as soon az lie found himself
free, threw his head and tail into the air
as il proud OF the trust that had been put
in him. Then he snuffed the breeze, and
gave loud snort, which seemed to say
Come on boys! Follow me, I'll lead you
out of this scTape." He then turned in 8
new direction and trOtted along but not 30
fast that the men could not follow him.
They had not gone more than mile when
they saw the cheerful blaze Of their camp
fires, and gave loud huzza at the sight.

Trnn Flirts and False.

The Home journal thus defines flirting
quite successfully, provided its definition
is accepted. Some would say that the
writer's " true flirting is misnamed:
When n clown follows the will o. the
wisp to the discontinue, we blame the
foolish man, and not the misguiding light.
And 30, If men will be 30 vain and un-
thinking as to imagine that every pleasant
beauty adores them because she vouchsafes
to chat, whose fault is it when the pre-
sumptuous lover il informed with cold
politeness that his position is that of n
friend only?
The real mistake consist in conceiving
nothing between the sexes but love. Peo-
pie rush into the error that "a woman must
either be discourteous to n man or in love
with him. The possibility of her enter
tanning n proper and healthy friendship
for fifty OF the opposite soN never seems to

open and undisguised. Her afiability is
known and commented on from the fact
that sh. converses without hesitation,
laughs without constraint; she wears
her heart upon her slecvn;' there is no
concealment, no attempt mt reservation, no
attectation of reserve. Tho really design

The COTTAGE HOMES OF ENGLAND
There are no cottages in England more
than five hundred years old. 1he fish
house at Meare, near Glastonbury, is the
only cottage supposed to be even as old a.
that. Those that remain owe there dura.
bility to the fact that they are built of oak.
Whatever the sanitary reformer may have
to say against these ancient cots, they are
always picturesque, and never out Of bar
mOny with the scenery around them. Their
gable roofs Of coscy thatch, or red tiles
bright with moss and lichsn, their orna-
mented chimneys, and walls Of plaster,
laced and interlaced with heavy beams,
come peeping out from the green lanes Of
Kent, or fringe the breezy Surrey com.
mons or lie nesting in the wooded wales Of
Sussex while in Yorkshire and Wales
their aspect is bleak as the moor on the
mountain side. In Cumberland and
Devonshire they are built alike Of stone /;
but in the north their architecture is "Cy-
clopean,' in keeping with the stern aspect
nature presents among those wild, tmnly
peopled hills; while in the south, covered
with ivy and hidden amongst gardens and
orchards, each little cot is a poem in itself.
This harmony arises from necessity, 1t
is partly due to the gentle influence Of time,
and partly to the fact that the same soil
which produces the natural scenery pro-
duces the materials Of which the cottages
are built In the north wood is scarce,
stone plentiful thence the stone villages Of
Lancashire and Yorkshire. In the pottery

abundant and brick cottages are the rule
