HOW TO DRIVE OXEN.

One of the best things in the world is
to be boy: it requires no experience,
though IT needs some practice to be good
one. The disadvantage of the position is
that it does not last long enough, 1t is
soon over just as soon as you get used 10
being boy, you have to be something
else, with good deal more work to do
and not half so much fun. And yet every
boy is anxious to be man, and is very
uneasy with the restrictions that are put
upon him as boy. Good fun as it is to
yoke up calves and play work, there is not
a boy on farm but would rather drive a
yoke of oxen at real work. What a glori-
Gus feeling it is, indeed, when boy for
the first time is given the long whip and
permitted to drive the oxen, walking by
their side, swinging the long lash, and
shouting "Gee, Buck !" "Haw, Golden y
whoa, Bright % and all the rest of that
remarkable language, until he is red in the
face, and all the neighbors for half
mile are aware that something unusual is
going on. If were boy, | am not sure
but would rather drive the oxen than
have birthday.
The proudest day of my life was one day
when rode on the heap of the cart, and
drove the oxen, all alone, with load of
apples to the cider mill. was so little
that it was wonder that didn't fall off.
and get under the broad wheels. Nothing
could make boy, who cared anything for
his appearance, feel fatter than to be run
over BY the broad tire ola cartwheel. But
/ never heard of one that was, and l don't
believe one ever will be. AS said, it was
q great day for me, but don't remember
that the oxen cared much about it. They
sagged along in their great clumsy way,
switching their tails in my face occasion
ally, and now and then giving a lurch to
this or that side of the road, attracted by
q short tuft of grass. And then l came
the Julius Cesar over them, if yon will
allow me to use such slang expression,
q liberty never should allow you. | don't
that julius Caesar ever drove
cattle, though he must have seen the peas
ants from the Campagna ''haw" and "ge"
them round the Forum (of course in Lat
in. language that those cattle under
stood as well as ours do English) but
what mean is, that stood up and "hol-
Tered" with all my might, as everybody |
does with oxen, as if they were born deaf,
and whacked them with the long lash over
the head, just as the big folks did when
they drove. think now that it was a
cowardly thing to crack the patient old
fellows over the face and eyes, and make
them wink in their meek manner. If
am ever boy again on farm, shall
speak gently to the oxen, and not 60
screaming round the farm like a crazy
man; and / shall not hit them a cruel cut
with the lash every few minutes because
it looks big to do so, and | cannot think
of anything else TO do. ! never liked
lickings myself, and. don't know why
an OK should like them, especially as he
cannot reason about the moral improve
ment he is to get out of them. Charles

The building of the Northern Pacific Railroad
(begun July last) is being pushed forward with
great energy from both extremites OF the line
several thousand men are employed IN Minnesota
and on the Pacific coast. The grade is nearly
completed 266 miles westward from Lake Supe,
rior; trains running over 100 miles OF finished
road, and track-lay rapidly progressing toward
the eastern border of Dakota. Including its pur-
chase of the st. Paul & Pacific Road, the Northern
Pacific Company now has 1I3 miles of completed
road, and by September next this VIII be increased

position as the leading organ of the Demo-

apostleship which it will discharge with
unflinching boldncss, vig0r, fidelity, and
zeal. 1t will be in constant counsel and
communion with the tried leaders and

States of the Union, cordially cooperating
with them, and they with it, in building
up the party in order and unity; healing
differences, infusing confidence, inviting
