Daily Exercise of the Horse.

WITHOUT regular exercise no horse can
long be kept in health, and l believe that
as far as this point is concerned, even
those which are hard-worked would be
better for half an hours airing every
morning as soon as they have been fed
and before they are dressed. But those
masters who are particular about the
mouths of the animals they ride or drive,
find that the hands of their grooms are
generally so heavy that they spoil the
delicate "feel" on which the comfort
and pleasure of riding and driving so
much depends. Hence in such cases the
poor horse is condemned to confinement
in his stable, not only on the day when
he is to be ridden or driven, but on those
also when he is to be idle.
The health of the body is sacrificed to
the maintenance of the delicate condition
of the mouth which is so highly priced
by good horsemen and accomplished
whips, and | confess that | plead guilty
to having for long series of years acted
upon this principle. A fair share of
health may be attained without exercise
il the work is never interrupted for more
than a single day. and at the same time,
there being only one pair of hands to in
terfere with the mouth, its delicacy is not
impaired, that is to say, if they are not as
bad as those of the groom.
Sometimes large and smooth snaffle
is allowed as an exercise bride, in the
hope that it cannot injure the mouth, but
even this will do mischief if the weight
of the rider is thrown upon it, as is too
often the case. Leaving out Of the ques-
ton this objection to the adoption of ex-
ercise, there can be no doubt that daily
walk out of doors for half an honr or an
hour, especially if it can be managed on
turf, will be of the greatest service to the
horses health. .-iStOReheRge on the Horse.

A Negro Boy Cruelty Tortured.

A FEW days since there came here from
Hawley, Pa, on one of the Erie freight
trains, a negro boy about thirteen years
old. BY his quaint and amusing actions
he became quite favorite among the
railroad men, and they bought boot
blacks outfit for him, and started him in
"business." He was altogether harmless,
and gave no one cause for enmity against
him, at least such enmity as the sequel
will show existed On Saturday night
after the departure of No z 7express- train,
which was late hour the boy went into
one of the railroad company's buildings
and went to sleep. He was still sleeping
when three Irish laborers came into the
building yesterday morning. These men
had expressed, previously their repug-
nance to the boy, because of his color,
and finding him trespassing on their do
main, they at once determined to vent
their hatred upon him, Taking can of
eneoil, they saturated the panta-
looms of the sleeping boy with its com
bustible contents, and then touched
match to it, In an instant the flames
flashed up, and the poor little waif awoke
to find himself enveloped in fire. Others
had entered the building by that time,
but, Notwithstanding the shrieks and en-
tlSdtlCb VI Iu6 DOyi no ulONo was llduS 10
extnguish the flames. At last, one Of
the bystanders dashed a pail of water on
him, which, however, only added to their
fury Finally when it was seen that the
boy was almost exhausted, one of the
three who had set fire to him threw an
overcoat about his body, and others, at
tracted by the shrieks of the boy, rushed
in and smothered the blaze. Amessengor
was sent by one of tho newcomeGs for
physician, and DR.. Tingley soon arrived.
Examination Of the body disclosed that
his legs were burned to crisp. His
right thigh was burned clear to the bone,
and other parts of his person were sicken-
ing to contemplate. The doctor at once
gave itas his opinion that his injuries
must prove fatal, but at this writing the
boy is still alive, but suffering the most
intense agony. The persons guilty of
this barbarous deed had not been arrested
at last accounts, but measures are being
taken to that end The indignation of
the people knows no bounds. -Susgue-

Ennr nIIIlinns of Invnlihs.

At the lowest computation there are meyer less
than four millions of nyalids in the United States
OF this number probably more than three-ffths
have neglected the ordinary precautions necessary
for the preservation of health, and arc suffering
the punishment due to their careessness, If the
multitudos who are now afflicted with bliousness
Indigestion, rheumatism intermittent fever rregu-
larities of the bowels, general debility, nervous
disorders, &C., had, at the very first symptoms of
indisposition, invigorated regulated and purified
their systems with Hostetter's Stomach Btters,
two-thirds of them would at this moment be per-
forming the active duties of life uuannoyed by
any ailment of the body or the mind
This assertion is made advisedly. 1t is founded
on experience, and is borne out by the testimony
of countless hosts of witnesses, whose attesta-
tions cover almost every variety Of disease, and
extend over period of about twenty years. OF
every thousand persons who take the Bitters, as a
preventive of the complaints above enumerated,
seven-eghths escape them entirely; and of every
thousand who are actually attacked, and use the
great Vegetable Tonic as remedy thrce-fourths
are radically cured. These are not haphazard
assertions, but statistical facts. They are based
upon the results of inquiries made by more than
fifty thousand persons, in various parts of the
country, and upon the letters of prominent citi-
zens Of every State, it might almost be said, of
every county in the Union.

I" No Monkey. No Photograph"

JOHNNY, the darling of the house, was
going to have his likeness taken A pic
ture of johnny on his third birthday was
demanded by friends and neighbors all
around us and so Johnny was to stand
with his dog Fan for picture that was to
delight all hearts.
Mother and aunties took careful coun-
Gil together about his dress as for Fan,
all she needed was a new collar, and that
having been purchased, and Johnny
dainty arrayed, three of them escorted
the twain to the artists with much pride
and satisfaction. Punctual to his appoint
ment, the artist was waiting for Johnny,
and he and Fan were placed in position,
with all the cautions that we usually give
to children who are about to stand for
their photographs.
AS the artist was preparing to take his
last survey, before removing the cloth
for the picture, he said, with signifi-
cant glance at his escort, which did not
escape our watchful little Johnny
"Look steadily at this spot on the wall,
and monkey will come out"
Next to dogs Johnny delights in mon
keys his black eyes sparkled and fairly
danced as he waited eagerly, while the
artist took another careful and satisfied
survey. A picture of Johnny as he looked
then would have been q priceless treas
urC.
When all was ready at last, and mother
and auntes hoped that Johnny would
neither move nor tire, and iustas the artist
was about to uncover the camera, johnny
asked, in his decided way" Where's the
monkey want to see the monkey
" Yes, yes said the astonished artist,
who had promised hundreds of children
a sight of that monkey, and never been
called npon to produce it before "by
and by, you shall see the monkey
But" insisted johnny, "want to see
monkey .f,St johnny did look, monkey
didn't come"
The artist hesitoted, Johnny looked
from ono to another of the astOnished
group in his keen, searching way; in an
instant, he seemed to realize that the
artist had been trying to deceive him; and
then, with an air of determination that
made mother and aunts tremble for the
success of the picture, Johnny sat down
upon the floor beside Fan, put his arms
around her neck; and said, tell gOu trhdt
ii is, Fan no na0nkey, no photQgdph, ;" and
johnny kept his word
Twenty times at least, during the fol
lowing hour, did mother, and aunts, and
artist try to persuade Johnny to resume
his position, but Johnny was firm he
insisted upon seeing the monkey first, and
as there was no monkey to show him. he
came Off conqueror.
Three sadder and wiser women escorted
Johnny soTowfully home, but not one of
them could speak a word of reproof to
Johnny, for in their hearts they admired
and respected the spirit he had shown.
When Johnny's grandma heard the
story, she said, in her quiet way, That
shows the folly of trying to deceive chill
dren; Johnny has learned his first lesson
in falsehood to-day. | hope this may
prove lesson for you ALL" and it was;
one they will never forget. -ChristioH

Cranberries on Pine Lands.

A GROWER gives the following experience
in the Journal Of AgricuIture!' Three or
four years ago / transplanted cranberry
vines from my meadow to one of my gar
dens, which is pine land. They have
grown well, and are now loaded with
fruit / had compromised with them,
that if they would come and live with me
ON my land, would bring them their ma
tive soil, so that they would not suffer by
emigration, dug channels two feet
wide, twenty inches deep, and three feet
apart. removed the gravel and filled
the channels with muck from the place
whence they were taken, / took up the
plants in small clusters, and set them
deep in their natural element, They ap-
peared to be perfectly contented with
their new locality. They now occupy one
square rod of ground, and are beginning
TO enlarge their borders. / keep this
patch clear of weeds. The expense of
this cranberry square rod was about two
days labor of one man and one days Ia
Dor of one horse. The prospect now is
that the cranberries will yearly pay the
expenses of their new settlement Muck
and experiments well directed will prove
successful.

LOWELL, Mass, has Just witnessed
tragedy, which is painful illustration OF
the recklessness of human life engendered
by the countless stabbing and shooting
ailrays of the last few years. Two boys,
Charles e. Kimball, aged nineteen, and
Charles A. Watts, aged sixteen, were
rivals In the affections of young lady OF
that town. She chose to go home from
church last Sunday evening with the elder
of hor admirers. Thereupon the discard
ed Juvenile got pistol, and ambushed
himself near the residence of the perlidi-
GUS fair one. When Kimball came out,
Watts, with mingled brutality and cow
ardice, shot him. The ball passed through
his wrist and right lung, There is just u
possibility Of his living, and his wouldsbe
murderer is now in Jail waiting the result
of his crime. IIc probably imagined
himself hero last Sunday evening. By
the time he has cried himself to sleep q
few more nights, it is possible that faint
idea of his innate scoundrelism may
dawn upon his mind. The haunting de-
sire to attract attention has more than
once caused weal-brained boys and girls
to commit suicide; but it would be hard
to find parallel for this case of willful
murder. Wholesale severity of punish
ment will have powerful tendency to
prevent any imitation of it hereafter -

TESTING THE PnIs-Not long since
one of our respected citizens, who is not
in the best of health, purchased some
pills of quack doctor in Boston. Rid
ing home in the cars while reading n
newspaper, his eye chenced on an item
mentioning the death of person in New
York from poison, caused by an apothe-
cary's mistake. He thought of the pills
he had in his pocket, and queer feeling
took possession of him, What if they
were poison9 They might be; if regular
apothecarles made mistakes what might
not quacks do? lie came home, but he
did not take the pills. A few days after
his wife complained of being III, and said
she supposed she would have to take
| some medicine. Here was Chance &c
try the pills. He casually mentioned tc
his wife that he had got some pills that
would probably do her good, and advised
her to take three or four of them. She
did so, and when her husband returned
from his business in the evening, he asked
his wife how she felt She answered
that she felt better, the pills had done hel
good. "Then they must be perfectly
harmless" said he. Harmlessw she
calculated, "why, didn't you know they
were harmless before you gave them tC
me?' "Why, yes" he stammered; "thC
fact is--I-I-well, certainly they were
harmless" The wife won't sue for di
vorce, but she thinks she will buy hel
own medicine in future. .--Ld,c,eacc Mass

How to Prevent Cracks in walls.

WALLS of dwelling houses crack from
various causes, always attributable to
some defect in the materials employed in
making the mortar, or in the framework
and lathing which receives the mortar.
When the mortar is made of sand among
which there is large proportion of alu-
minous material, tie walls are liable TO
crack as the mortar dries whereas; If
the mortar is made of clean and sharp
sand, mingled with Just enough good lime
to fill tile interstices between the grains
of sand, the mortar will not shrink in
drying, unless it is laid on very dry lath
on the side of brick wall in hot weather
1t Is common practice, among profes-
sonal builders, to riddle the sandy loan,
which Is frequently half clay, that is dug
up where an excavation Is made for the
cellar of a dwelling house, and employ it
in preparing mortar for plasteTing, in
lieu of clean sand. If walls made of
such mortar do not crack, they are al.
ways so tender that they will crumble and
fall off the lathing if the inmates of the
dwelling are not exceedingly careful to
avoid all rough usage
When frame dwelling Is plastered be-
fore the studs and joist5 are seasoned,
the mortar in drying is liable to crack at
the upper corners of the rooms, unless
extra care is taken to have the corner
posts, or studs at the corners, thoroughly
seasoned before the wells are finished.
Walls will usually crack also by the joints
of the lathing, unless the lather is partic-
ular to break joint at every foot in width.
BY employing lath OF sufficient length to
extend entirely across the space TO be
plastered, by using clean and sharp sand,
and by allowing the studs and jolsts tc
become thoroughly seasoned before the
walls are finished, builder can calculate
on walls that will endure sharp blow
with hammer without injury, and which
will never crack, so long as the studs an(
iosts continue sound. -IHd18tyiaI Monthly

Mad Dog.

LAST Wednesday evening" as a number
of gentlemen were seated around the
office stove of hotel on Woodward
avenue, peculiar scratching at the
street door attracted their attention.
Thinking that some one outside was un-
able to find the latch, one of the gentle
men near the door arose and opened it,,
when to their surprise dog trotted in,
and walked leisurely toward the stove.
This created hearty laugh, which was
of short duration, for the discovery was
made that the animal frOthed at the
mouth and showed other unmistakable
symptoms of bydrophobia. General con-
sternation ensued and elevated positions
were soon at premium. His dogship,
perceiving that he was master of the
situation, gnashed his teeth in defiance,
and compelled every person in the room
to seek place of safety. The stove was
thrown over, and chairs, tables, and office
furniture generally demolished; in fact,
one more frightened than the rest mount
ed the red-hot drum attached to the fallen
stovepipe, which unenviable position,
however, he retained but a moment.
The dog in the meantime had been max
ing unsuccessful attempts to bite several
of the ''perched" gentlemen. At this
juncture hasty consultation was held,
and it was decided to make simultan,
eous rush for the door, This would,
probably, have been done, had not one of
the men succeeded in constructing a
barrier, composed of broken furniture,
between himself and the rabid animal,
thereby precluding the necessity of this
change of base. Having accomplished
this, he opened the door, and was soon
making double-quick time down the
avenue, the dog following close at his
heels, He fortunately eluded the crazed
animal, which was last seen making a
bec-line for Park street.-DetI0H Fltc
