A Faithful Shepherd BOY.

Gerhart was German shepherd boy,
aud noble fellow he was, although he
was very poor.
One day, while watching his flock,
which was feeding in valley on Dor.
ders ofa forest,a hunter came out of the
woods and asked;
"IIow far is IL TO the nearest vii.
lsge."
"Six miles SIR" replied the boy,"but
the road is only sheep track and very
easily missed"
The hunter looked at the crooked
track, and said:
"Ah lad, am hungry, tired and
thirsty. 1 have lost my companions,
and missed my way. Leave your sheep
and show me the way. will pay you
we'll"
81 cannot leave my sheep, sir" re-
piled Gerhart. "They would stray into
the forest, and be eaten up by wolves,
or be stolen by robbers.n
"Well, what of that?" queried the
hunter. "They are not your sheep. The
loss of one or more would not be much
to your master, and I'll give you more
than you have earned in whole
year.
III cannot so, sir" rejoiued Gerhart.
very firmly. my master pays me for
my time, and he trusts me with his
sheep. If sell my time which does not
belong to me, and the sheep get lost,
it would be the same as If 1 stole
them"
"Well," said the hunter, twill you
trust your sheep here, while you go to
the village and get some foodand drink,
and a guide? l will take care of them
for you"
The boy shook his head. "The sheep
don't know your voice, and" Gerhart
stopped speaking.
"And what? Can't you trust me Do
look like dishonest man ?''asked the
hunter angrily.
"Sir," said the boy, "you tried to
make me false to my trust, and wanted
me to break my word to my master.
How do 1 know that you would keep
your word with me-"
The hunter laughed, and he felt the
boy had fairly cornered him. He
said:
81 see, my lad, that you are good
faithful boy. 1 will not forget you. Show
me the road, and will try and make it
out myself.
Gerhart now offered the contents of
his script to the hungry man, who,
coarse as it was, s,ate it gladly. Presently
his attendants came up, and then Ger
hart to his surprise, found that the hun
ter was the Grand Duke, who ownedall
the count ry around. The Duke was so
pleased with the boys honesty that he
sent for him shortly after, and had him
educated.
Honesty, truth, and fidelity, are pre-.
ciOus jewels in the character of child.
When they spring from pietX they are
diamonds, and make the possessor very
beautiful, very happy, very honorable,
and very useful. May you, my readers
wear them as Gerhart did. Then q
greater than king will adopt you as
his children, and you will become
princes and princessesroyal in the king
dom of God.

THE CURRY coMB.-As a rule, the
curry comb is used too much and the
brush too little. When a horse is
brought into the stable covered with
sweat and mud, he should be rubbed
dry with straw; the next morning, with
a curry comb in one hand and a good
brush in the other, he can be thorough
Iy cleaned-the curry comb only being
used TO straighten the hairs ahead OF the
brush. The difficulty about getting a
good curry c0mbing arises from the
neglect Grub the horse clean with straw
before leaving him for the night.
Much care should be used In cleaning
horses legs with curry comb, 80 as
not TO iDjure the joints.

wheat is very full and plump it makes

Important Insurance Decision
From the Memphis Appeal.

The widow of Captain Booker, who, it
will be remembered, died in New Orleans
during the prevalence of the yellow fever
in 1867, yesterday received intelligence
from the Supreme Court at jackson that
she had won a suit wherein her husbands
life insurance was involved to the amount
of ten thousand dollars, with interest; in
all, about thirteen thousand dollars The
case involved technicalities which were
raised by the company more with view
to the final settlement by the courts of
Tennessee of points of long dispute,
than with any purpose to keep the widow
and orphans out of what might legally he
theirs. These points arose out Of the act
of the agent of the company in New Or
leans, who, contrary to instructions, took
Captain Booker's note for two hundred
and twenty-seven dollars and fifty cents,
OF premium amounting to three hun
dred and ninetysix dollars, giving him a
clean receipt, which was forwarded by
the captain to his wife, residing in Mem
phis. The company (the Southern Life
contended on this point, raising others of
minor importance, all of which were swept
away by the Supreme Court, which has
awarded to her as above the full amount
with interest

the Richmond and York River Railroads,
favored us with a call yesterday, and with
an invitation TO participate in one of the
grandest Editorial Excursions which has
yet been gotten up for the benefit of weary

get up anything more attractive, we shall
feel tempted to accept the clever invitation
of Major Hotchkiss. This Excursion will
be composed of Southern Editors, and the
following programme indicates what good
time they will have:
The party will leave Richmond on Sat

The Recognition of Journalism
by the Cincinnati Convention.
From the n. Y. Herald.

FROM the n. L. Herald.
The first consideration that comes to
us is the fact that Horace Greeley enters
into this canvass as a representative of
journalism. Until within few years he
has been to a critical mind more of a
politician than a journalist; but even in
the harshest phases of his partisanship we
have never failed to see and recognize the
Journalistic sense which made him a gen
erous opponent and an independent ally.
Those of our calling who have been i'm
patient because the newspaper has not
been more generously recognized in the
persons of the men who make and control
1t will find cause for comfort in the action
of the Cincinnati Convention. For more
than thirty years Horace Greeley has
edited the most distinctively political and
partisan journal in the United States.
Mr.. Graft Brown, his colleague, had
career as marked, if not as extensive. in
the press of the West. We see in this a
tendency on the part of the people to re-
gard the journalist as master. The pro-
fession which once was despised now wins
respect from the people, has open to it
the highest prizes of citizenship.
