To Make Il sheep Own IA Lamb.

A correspondent of the Maine Far
mer, writes: Sometimes it Is desirable
to make one sheep own the lamb of
another, but often it is difficult task.
An experiment that we tried few days
since proved perfect success, and was
easily conducted; and for the benefit
of those similarly situated we commu-
nicate it to your columns. One Of our
sheep lost her lamb. In few days q
yearling dropped a lamb which she did
not own, and in fact had no milk for it.
We took the lamb Immediately after it
was dropped and sprinkled it with fine
salt and placed it with the sheep that
had lost her lamb. AS soon as she
tasted the salt she commenced licking
the lamb, and in a short time was as
fond of it as she was of her own. She
is now taking the greatest care Of her
adopted charge.

Tie the horse in a stall where there is

he has been in the habit of kicking in
the harness, drive him with the rope
on two weeks or until he quits making
any threats. Some will kick once or
twice with one foot, and bob up and
threaten for several days, They should
be tickled, or teased, or have "A basket
thrown under them, or tin pail tied

An Amusing Pailor Trick.
ELSIE PLATT.


Dear girls and boys I want. to tell
you of something very funny to do, if
you have a little brother or sister who
does not mind dressing up and stand
ing still for few moments My aunt
showed me how to do it the other day,
when sister Nelly had birthday party.
We took little brother Tommy out into
the library and stood him upon a high
wooden stool, and dressed him up very
finely in mammals clothes. The stool
made him so tall that the dress was of
Just the right length. Then Uncle
Ned, telling him to stand straight and
firm, carried him ont, stool and all, in
to the parlor | wish you could have
heard the girls and boys laugh, He
had such a comical look-with his tall
body and little, round face--iust like
some Of those French Parian figures.
One little girl handed him a fan, and
then it was too funny to see the tall
lady fan herself af1ectedly with her very
small, dimpled hands. All the boys
and girls Just shouted, and somehow |
couldn't help thinking that if the tall
lady would lift her dress just one inch,
we'd see pair of feet as little as the
hands.
Good-by, II we ever find ont any
more comical performances Tor Tommy

Little Nobody.-A Valentine story.
RY FRA&ER. STOCKTON,

little Nobody.-A Valentine story.
BY FRAME r. STOCKTON,
There was a little girl once, a young
thing. ten or eleven, or more or less,
and She lived in a house which was not
nalace. But it had a garden in front
lad II and trees about it, and she might
have been happy if it had not been for
the holidays coming ronnd 50 often in
fine wear. People were generally very
hapnv in those days when the holidays
came around, but it was different with
her She worked and sewed through
lam common weekdays, but it seemed
wrong to work and sew on holidays.
And vet that was all she had to do.
And it so happened that Valentines
Dav was coming around, and it made
her sad TO think of it. And SO she sat
bv the window and looked out over the
hare garden, and sang, and sang the
same little song. And the song was
nothing but this:
Nayalentine ever viii come 10 me,
H. no, Hi, no Hi-lid-dle-ty! Hol
For am a poor little nObud-ee
Hi, no! Ii, no! Hi-did-dle-ty! Ho!"
I. was a very mild and beautiful
February. and the air was SO soft and
pleasant Just about Valentines Day,
ithat abe would leave the front-door
.opeu a little, and so her song dld not
Stay altogether in the house. To be
/, ure her voice was not very loud, and
fhe words OF her song scarcely ever
Invent further than the garden, but the
sHI, hot HI, no, Hi-did- dle-te, Ho,
f,sed to 60 way offamong the trees, and
Sometimes over the fence into the paat-
Frg where the sheep came in summer
sme In the garden close to the path
(which led to the front-door, there was a
Brittle crocus, and it was all covered up
D. the ground, but it wasn't very deep
Gown. There was just thin sod over
Il And every day it used to hear the
q ih sing the same song over and over
iud over again. So, after "A while ii
q cyan to get tired OF it. Even a crocus
AgiIl get tired OF the one thing over and
yer AGAIN, no matter how nice ii is.
sAud this song wasn't SO very nice in
St,elt. 1t might have been improved if
fho girl had had q better time to it, and
&ng it better, but she did not know
&4ucb about music. SO 1t was no won
sJer the crocus became a little restless

This is what the Shreveport Daily
Times says Of the Lasere- Randolph
fusion ticket
"The New Orleans Picayunc
which has consistently supported
Grant under its present management
supports the fusion ticket fixed up
by few members Of the Democratic
State Executive Committee and of
that of tho rcformers. OF ticket it
says:
As il appears and as it stands, no
one can say that it is in the Grant
interest Or the Greeley interest.
Precisely and that is the just the
very reason we washed our hands of
it, and why. tho country democracy
will have nothing to do with it. We
will go into no combination that
does not look to the defeat of Grant
and Grantism, nor will our people.
This was also the sentiment that
prompted the action Of the democrat
ic convention, and the two or three
members of the committee who have
acted in opposition to the prepared
policy of that convention and Of the
party, will not be endorsed. If the
jobbing Of the Picayune means any
thing, it means that Kellogg had a
hand in the job as will Us Messrs.
Lasere and Randolph"

BROAD AND HONEST PRINCIPLES AGAINST
FRAUD AND TYRANNY.


FRAUD AND TYRANNY.
From the Charleston Courier
The Liberal Republicans and the
Democrats being united in principle,
both the one and the other being
engaged in the struggle to rid the
country of the corrupt Cusarism
which is destroying its liberty, it was
but natural that they should select
the same candidates. The result of
this selection will necessarily be, that
the strength of neither party will be
wasted, and the power of both will
be concentrated on the common OBJ
iect. Now that the Convention has
spoken, the contest is narrowed
down to two candidates. Either
Greeley or Grant will be the next
President of the United States
The one stands on platform en-
bracing broad an honest principles,
while the platform Of the other sane
tions every fraud, every act Of tyran-
ny, every wastefui grant of the pub
lie domain to gigantic corporations,
the imperialism at Washington, and
the supremacy Of the sword over the
law. This is the real contest, and in
voting for the one Or the other we
indorse one or the other set of prin-
ciples. The enthusiasm for Mr..
Greeley came first from the South,
and at the South he will receive a
support as earnest and as enthusi-
astic as he will receive among his
walmest friends at home.

interested in the stability and pros

their determination not TO support
Greeley. They are unwilling to be
parties TO the corrupt bargain and

nomination. In Berks, Centre, and
other counties this class Of men are
TO be found in great numbers. Some
of the most respectable Democrats in
this county make no secret OF theii
determination not to support Gree

The Work that BartrauSt has
Performed In SIX Years
Deeds not Words.

Gen. Hartranft, like the great par
ty which he represents, rest his
claims to public consideration and
confidence, not on what he says, or
other people may say for or against
him, but upon what he has done
what he has accomplished in the pub
lie service. He is to be judged by
acts, not by words.
During his first three years as Au-
ditor General. by the direct and sole
good management Of John +. Hart
ranft, guarding the public resources,
and closely scrutinizing oil expcndi-
lures Of public money, the indebted
ness Of Pennsylvania was reduced
S4,324, ,055.7S. During his second
term, the reduction aggreated $4,-
771,3SS.52; making q total OF debt
reduction accomplished by Auditor
General Hartranft, in six years,
NINE MILLION TWENTY-FIVE
THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED
AND FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS
AND THIRTY CENTS. This is
practical work, the statement OF
which may not occupy as much space
as one Of Buckalew's speeches dis
cussing points in Stuart Mills theor
les ofpolitical economy, yet it is more
satisfactory and comprehensive to
the people than any long buncombc
harangue. The effect of the work on
the securities Of Pennsylvania, is
shown by the rate at which State So
curities were and are now quoted in
Philadelphia. In May 1st, 1866,
when General Hartranft went into
Office, our bonds were quoted in
Philadelphia at sSt at the present
time the quotation is. Sd series nj
107; 1st series Mt 103, and all Other
at 102@103. Such are the results
and the effects produced by Hart
ranft's management of the Auditor
Generals Office.
When General Hartranft tool
charge of the Auditor Generals 8 Office
the debt of Pennsylvania aggregated
S37, ,495,455.51!
At the close OF General Hartranft
six years rs Auditor General, he re
duced this debt to S2S,3S0,011.11
having as already stated, in six years
without any increase of taxation, ant
with the tax on real estate removed
by a Republican Legislature, pait
NINE MILLION, NINETY-FIVF
THOUSAND, FOUR HUNDRED
AND FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS
AND ELEVEN CENTS.
Such are the results produced by
the labors Of q faithful and compe
tent official, and such the merit OF
which we rest John F. Hartranft
claim as candidate for Governor.

their own influence and popularity
The country since 1861, when IL
called upon the youth Of the land to
follow our glorious flag upon the per.
ilous fields Of battle. has never need
ed their services more than at the
present hour. The stability Of our
government the perpetuity OF our
institutions, the continuation of the
peaceful development Of our mental
and moral growth and physical pros
perity, are at sake. Under Grant
order, honesty, and peace under
Greeley, recklessness, anarchy, and
boundless profigacy.
The Philadelphia platform consti-
tutes q political confession Of faith Of
the largest circumference, and the
most explicit utterance upon all ques-
tions affecting our political growth
and progress. The ingenuity OF our
political enemies has not succeeded
in picking single flaw, and they are
reduced TO the necessity of waging n
contest OF personal detraction and vii
ification. However, we do not intend
to argue tho great question now. The
arguments are voluminous and will
appear in numerous well-prepared
documents At this time we only in
sist that three days work devoted to
the cause Of the Republic will be Of
almost infinite value, and will insure
Of necessity success in November.
There are million Of young men
connected with the Republican party
living in the various wards and

them and not to their neighbors.

An Appeal 10 the Young Mem.
bers OF the Republican
Party.

"Whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll is q statement in a
popular form of the difference be
tween failure and success in life. If
You undertake to espouse any cause
do it with enthusiasm and zeal. $50
in and win" Fame, renown, the
highest offices and dignities of the
land are prizes that fortune gives
only to the brave, enthusiastic, and
therefore, successful. You can make
your fortunes in the campaign, ex-
pand your intellect, enlarge the scope
of your activities, gain the respect of
your fellow-citizens, and lay the foun-
dation Of affluence and power by
working with a will for the good
cause. But what can we do, and in
what way can we lay this foundation 7
you may ask. In response to this
inquiry we suggest that every young
man has leisure hours in the evening
and frequently a halliday that he can
take without detriment from his reg
ular avocations. Every young man
knows several other young men ar
irving at the age Of twenty-one, and
he can ask them to meet him for the
purpose Of talking up political af-
fairs. These young men can 60 out
among the shops and upon the farms
for recruits, and, in brief time, they
can organize their school district or
ward, and thus build up first class
Republican club.
Documents can be had in abun-
dance by addressing Hon. z Chandler,
the Chairman OF tho Union Congress
sional Republican Committee, and
thus they can not only prepare them
selves 70 as to become first class
stump speakers, but they can distri-
