Water your horses from stream rather
than well. Because the latter is generally
hard and cold while the former is soft and
comparatively warm. The horse prefers
soft and muddy water to ard water, though
ever so clean.

PERSISTENCE.

Dccnusc begged so hard,
She has ut last IMPAIRED
rho,rrnsurc-chambe of her fastened heart
And Loves feet enter IN,
Thnt waited long to WIN
,,,,r vav. nor would from closed door do
His patIcnt, faithful feet
Find favor with my Sweet
Because l begged so hard,
This, then ID my reward
Lave tho Wayfarer becomes Love the guest
No moro In streets OF scolh
He turns away forlorn,
JIis tired feet find rooms OF shaded rest,
Where all their dusty heat
Is cooled by my sweet.
Because begged so hard,
For once my fate ill-slarrcd
III swayed by the mild might OF happy
moons.
Only but oh, how much!
Love woaries out whom well ne llhportuhN'
And well he did entrcat
This march ofmy Sweet.
Because begged so hnrd
Ienrs, with sad seasons married,
Are lighted backwards as with sudden suns
Yea, over llfe's whole skies
The light of her dear eyes
Travels, like dawn and sunset shed ut once.
Mixed in one glory, meet
All days this day, my sweet.
Because begged so hard,
The shadow doth rctard
Upon the dial one delicious hour;
One hour that Is not found
Within the days duh round.
But added by great Loves Xcrtcd power
Let time move on, itS beat
Is music, now, my sweet!
Still, | do beg her hard,
For inner gates still guard,
Asho passed, so Love again would pass;
Entering In fear and bound,
Returning free and crowned;
The going of his feet shall fall nlas
But now their eager heat
Must win its way, my sweet

scenes In Railway Cars.

Howells, in his genial half-storyand
half-cssay, "rheir Wedding Journey"
inlthe September atlantic, sketches as
follows the everyday scenes on the
cars, which everybody will recognize:
Yes, it isa very amusing world, II
YOU do not refuse to be amused; and
our friends were very willing to be en-
tcrtained. They delight In the very
precise thlck-iingered old ladies' who
bought sweet apples Of the boys
who came aboard with baskets, anu
who were 50 long in finding the right
change that our travellers leaping in
through with the boys from the NOV
ing train, felt that they did SO at the
peril OF their lives. Then they were
interested in people who went out and
found their friends waiting for them,
or else did not find them and wandered
disconsolately up and down before the
country stations, carpet-bag In hand !;
in women who came aboard, and
were awkwardly shaken hands with
or sheepisaly kissed by those who
hastily got seats for them, and placed
their bags or their babies in their laps,
and turned for Il nod at the door; In
young ladies who were seen to places
by young men Uhe latter seemed not
to care II the train did go Off with
them, and then threw up their win
dows and talked with girl friends on
the platform without till the train be-
gan to move, and at last turned with
cleaning eyes and moist red lips, and
painted hard in the excitement Of
thinking about it, and could not calm
themselves to the dull level Of
the travel around them in the con-
ductor, coldly and Unnecessarily yigilant
as he went his rounds, reaching blindly
for his tickets with one hand, while he
bent his head from time to time and
listened with faint, sarcastic smile to
the questions OF passengers who sup
posed they were going to get some in
formation out OF him; in the train

errands with prize candies, gumdrops,

rogated him as to the effect heated sub
stances bad upon his flesh, and asked
him when he handled them with his
hands il he did not suffer more than
when he took them inwardly, to which
he replied, "No Boss, / often take my
iron out OF tho forge with my hands
when red hot,
but IT DON'T BURN.
Since was little boy | have never
been afraid to handle fire." He then
stated that often when by himslf he
would pick up red hot iron because hts
tongs were not handy, and that he
never felt any discomfort from 1t.
He felt no more harm, he said, from
handling fire than stones.

SMITHS UNIVERSAL LOOM.-At the
exposition of the Industrial AssOcia-
ton Of Lower Austria, for 1870, Mr..
Smiths so-called "Univcrsal Loom"
excited great interest, on account of
Its quick motion, easy application of
water ,or steam power, etc, and q
member of the Association was in
duced to test its efficiency. He took
1t to his factory, in Vienna, spared
neither time nor money in the trial,
and reported essentially the following
result: A great deal of lobOr and prac-
tical skill was required to bring the
loom into working order. This was
partially owing to defect in the
machine used to which, indeed, the
agent Of the inventor had alluded),
but, so complicated Is its construction,
that it is asserted thcrefs no prospect
that it will ever be used by the common
weaver ut his home. The mechani-
cal skill Of the experienced machinist,
which is only available in the factory,
will always be necessary to its proper
working. The operation Of the trea-
dle is of special Importance with this
loom, and its working requires great
judgement and tact, essentially facili-
tated, however, by the convenient ap-
plIcation OF friction rollers. One hum
dred shots per minute would be the
utmost possible, even for skilled
workman. With greater speed the
labor is too fatiguing, breakage too
frequent, and the products not so nice
and clean. This single experiment
was, however, thought insufficient to
positively decide the value Of such
looms In fac tories. A report received
by the Association from a manufac-
turer in Ladz Qiuss, Poland) agrees
essentially with the above. 1t men-
tons in addition the poor workman
ship-says that not Il single part il
well madc-and doubts also whether
the power of one man would ever be
sufficient to move the loom continu.
ously at the intended rate Of l5O TO $50
shots per minute.

The Rothschilds own one hundred
and forty-four splendid buildings in
Paris, and it is noted as singular
fact not one of these houses was In
the least damaged by shells, either
during the siege by the Germans or
during the fierce sway of the Com
mune. But though lucky In their
Paris property, the Rothschilds were
not 30 fortunate in their financial
transactions, as they are said to have
sustained loss by the war Of 7O,OOO,-
600 francs. According to Dublin
journal, however, they made that
amount during the same period by
withdrawing in time from an unfor-
tunatc speculation, whereby they
would have lost another g2,OOO, 900.
This would seem To leave them about
even in the matter Of loss and gain
according 10 the Irish journal.
