Saturday morning last, and replaced in
the vault where they originally reposed.
The Ncus says: 1T will be remember

preceding the evacuation OF Morris Is

of Calhoun were taken from their vault,
for obvious reasons, and were laid in St.

What Love is to a Woman.

What wonderful thing love is to a
woman How it helps her. to know that
some one is always fond of her; that be
rejoices when she rejoices, and sorrows
when she grieves; to.be sure that her faults
are loved, and that her face is fairer, to
one at least, than faces that are far more
beautiful-that one great heart holds her
sacred 10 its innermost recesses above all
woman She can do anything, be any,
thing. suffer anything thus upheld. She
grows prettier under the sweet influence
brighter, kinder. stronger-and life
seems but foretaste Of Heaven ; and all
she sees is beautiful, and all her dreams
are gold.
But when this is gone-when the sods
are piled over the true lovers breast-or
when her role has been played in one of
those too frequent tragedies, and the cur
tain has dropped and the the footlights are
out. and it is all over forever, then God
have mercy on the woman, for life holds
nothing more for her.
How weary is her work when no one
helps or praises How desolate her leis-
ure: How joyless the things that gave
her joy The pain that she could bear
when some dear voice praised her patience
and pitied her, grows insupportable; am
bitioD perishes /; for who shall care to hear
her praises !? The little innocent vanity
that made the wearing Of pretty things
pleasure, forsakes her soul when no one
smiles to see her look so we'll, or praises
her with word or glance. Her heart
withers her life fades she grows old as
love-flled years could not make her grow
in u very little while. for love is all to
woman-her hope and comfort and power.
And let those who have it, thank Heaven,
and pray that they may live 20 longer
than love dwells with them, for all that
cometh after is but Dead Sea fruit-cold,
bitter aches at the beart.

Horses in Summer.

Farm work during the hot summer
months requires only the lightest harness.
Wooden collars are now used, with great
comfort to the horse In the cities the
harness worn by street railroad horses,
is consistent with the work. they have to
perform. No breeching is used and hip
straps are dispensed with. Teams may
often be seen ploughing in the hot days
of July and August. in the same harness
they wore in the winter. This is unne-
cessary, nay sometimes it amounts to
positive cruelty. Remove every supur-
6uous strap. take away the backstrap and
crupper band. and let the air circulate
freely around the body. At night, when
work is. s.over, wash the sweat and dust
from the legs and thighs Of the horse a
dash of water on his fanks would be
grateful to him. Let his stable be airy
and clean, with bed Of clean straw
Kindness to these serviceable animals is
the truest economy. Besides, we feel
better when our horses are made comfor-
table; the sensation is akin to that derived
from the doing of benevolent action. A
sensitive man cannot see horse sweating
under and CALLED by heavy harness dur
ing the intense heat of summers day,
without sympathy and pity. nor can he
retire to rest with an easy conscience,
knowing that his faithful servants in the
stables are improperly cared for and
suffering. THE righteous man regard
eth the life of his beast"
