4 Kansas Girl.

The Topeka Kansas Record narrates
the following, which goes to show that
the Kansas girl alluded to has pluck and
perseverance, if not discretion
Gas q gentleman was coming into
town the other day on the Wakarusa
road, he noticed a young girl on pony.
Pretty soon the pony began to display q
bad temper, and very shortly afterwards
threw the girl, who turned somersault
in the air and struck on her head in thu
road with terrific force. The gentleman
got out of his buggy and went to her
assistance. He found she had got bad
fall, and had cut across her forehead.
He advised her to abandon pony riding
for the present, but she wiped the blood
from her face, and insisted upon mount
ing her fracticus steed again. Anxious
for her safety, her friend watchod for
future developments, and in few min
utes she was hurled over the ponys head,
and this time she struck the ground
with such force that he thought she
must have broken every bono III her
body. The pony took the opportunity
to gallon off. She was again helped TO
her feet, half stunned and covered with
dust. and urged to abandon riding such
a fractions brute; but clutching her
riding whip, she started off in pursuit
of the pony, evidently determined to
ride him, or get herneck broken in the at
tempt. She was apparently about SIN
teen years of age"

Saratoga girls are organizing an anti.

billiard-saloon in Cincinnati was brought
before the police-court for keeping his
place open on Sunday, but the court
| held that inasmuch as he was an Israel

conviction could be had under the stat
utes.
A few months ago the Antwerp papers
reported that the " Wandering Jew" had
reappeared and been spoken to in that
city. The tradition of centuries is that
the visits of that mythical parsonage
always preccdo wor or pestilencc and
the supcrstitious are now connecting the
outbreak of cholera in Belgium with the
recent visitation of the wanderer. There
is something remarkable in the vitality
of this ridiculous tradition.

Loves Choice.

Tho stroller in tho ponsiye field
Doth many wildcring glover descry:
Sometimes to him the Roses yield,
Sometimes the Lilies feed his eye,
Sometimes he takes delight in ono,
Sometimes in all, sometimes III mono.
But when, in dusky woodland ways,
He secs, beside some dreaming stone,
The fresh, untutored Violet raise
Her pleading eyes for him alone,
Then makes his heart its final choice"
And Nature speaks in PASSIONS voice.
The stroller beautys garden through,
BY many hayward impulse led,
Sometimes is charmed by gold and blue,
Sometimes by brown and mantling rcd
Sometimes proud dame and maiden small
Please just tho same, or not at all.
But when, remote from pleasures wlirl,
He sees, at homes sequcstered shrine,
The ardent cheerful, guilelcss girl,
OF mortal mould, but soul divine
Too good, too beautiful to know
How fair her worth and beauty show
Then all his rowing fancies pause,
Entranced by this Overwhelming grace:
Itrulcs him by celestial laws;
1t lights a splcndor in his face.
IT'S the best good that Heaven can give;
He wins it-and begins to live.

In n Country Lane.

Tho little ones are thirsty as they sauntor home
from school,
And they hurry up the bank to whore, so sill
very and so cool,
A tiny streamlet trickles down, beneath q
spreading beech,
Just low enough for chubby hands and pouting
lips to reach.
Tho setting sun is glowing on the autumn
tinted leaves,
And gliding with richer gold the waves of
riponing shcGycs,
And, through the tanglc of the hedge, warm
rays their glory shed,
Round laughing faces pecpmg out from hoods
of blue and rcd
The lane ID deep and shady, and the treasures
hidden there,
Judging from shouts of glad surprise, are very
rich and rare,
And oh the thrill of wild delight in happy
eyes expressed
When-grand discoycry-a boy pulls forth a
mouse's nest.
And then the tempting bramblc- wreaths invite
the babes again,
Their pretty mouths with blackbcrrics so sweet
and ripe to stain;
And many brown nut slips its sheath to
share, poor little thing,
A bursting pocket with knife, six marbles and
some string.
Aud then the waysidc fow'rcts, and the grace.
full nodding grass,
Seem blooming only for small hands to gather
as they pass;
And there are velvet lichcns too, and mOss-crlps
to be found,
There is no cna to all the wealth with which
these banks abound.
And so the happy moments of tho autumn af.
tcrnOOn
Steal by, and evenings veil of mist is falling all
too soon;
Then as the glow-worm lights her lamp, the
little tired feet
Turn slowly to their cottage homes, across the
springing peat.
Oh! little ones, wonder in the years that yet
shall be,
When lingering memory calls to mind that
lane, and ril, and tree,
II you, rcmcmb'ring the bright days when You
were girls and boys,
Would welcome childhood back again, with all
its simple joys.

An INCIDENT OF DGcKENs.-It was in
one of those horrid opiumdens OF Lon

he related IN the opening chapters OF
edwin Brood" In miserable court
we found the hNggord old woman blow,
ing at kind of pipe made of an old
nenny ink.bottle. The identical words
which Dickens puts into the mouth of
this wretched creature il" Edwin brood"
we heard her Groom as we leaned over
the tattcred bed on which she was lying,
There was something hideous in the way
this woman kept repeating, "Ye,il pay
up according deary, ontye? and
the Cinnamon and Lascars made never
to-be-forgotten pictures in tn, scene;
watched Dickens intensely as he went
among these outcasts of London, and
saw with what deep sympathy he en-
countered the sad and suffering in their
horrid abodes.

But she did.

The present high price of thorough
bred stock, while it limits the business
of breeding to men of capital, does not
necessarily prevent the ordinary farmer
from procuring male animals wherewith
to improve his native stock. A stock of
grade COWS for the dairy may be gradu-
ally gathered up by the expenditure of
from fifty to two hundred dollars. Many
breeders Of Jersey cattle will dispose of a
young bull calf for very small sum,
because its color does not suit their taste,
while in respect to its pedigree, or other
useful qualities, it may be faultless. Such
an animal purchased young and well
cared for will become useful for raising
calves, ut year old. A ycarling heifer
of his get will, by the use of another such
animal become profitable at two years
old, and its calf will be three quarters
bred, and it is quite likely to become as
valuable for the dairy as a pure bred
animal that could not be purchased for
less than $500 or $500.
The produce of this COW would be
scyen-cighths bred, and if care is taken
in selecting the parents, would show
little difference from entirely pure ami
mails. Cooperation among few neigh
bors who would each procure and keep
a young bull, whose service. they
might exchange with each other to pre-
vent close breeding, would soon change
the appearance as well as the productive
qualities of the stock of quite a large
district. The main point to be guarded
against is not to breed from any but
pure stock, All male grade animals
should be emasculatcd or 90 to the
butcher, while young. The use of the
grade bull ought not to be permitted
Here is where many mistake is made.
In the course of four or five years quite
n herd of three-quarter or soven-eighth
bred animals would accumulate, and the
profit would begin to comcin. Ayrshire
and Jersey cattle should be the breeds
aimed at, as these are exccllently fitted
for the dairy, and are profitable fed fol
the butcher on ordinary farms. They
are exceedingly tractable, quiet and
orderly, and large mixers, and yield
much butter of good color and flavor
The Devon and Durham are better
fitted for the grazicr, and would be more
suitable where beef is the object aimed
at. But whatever the breed chosen, care
should be taken to avoid neglect, or loss
