following as certain cure for
hoof rot in cattle, horses or sheep:
One teacup of sharp cider vinegar,
one and half tablespoonful of

the thieves in the country have
taken the hint. And it is aston

in their line. In 1871 the New

LITTLE.

In little precious diamond,
What a splendor meets the eyes!
In little lump ofsugar,
How much of sweetness lies.
So, in little woman,
Love grows and multiplies;
You recollect the proverb says,
"A word unto the WISE"
A pepper-corh ie very small
But seasons every dinner
More than all other condiments,
Although ,tis sprinkled thinner.
just SO little woman is;
If love will let you win her,
There's not a joy in all the world
You would not find within her:
And as within the little rose
You'll find the richest dyes,
And in the little grain of gold
Much price and value lies,
And from the little balsam
Much odor does arise,
So, in the little woman,
There's taste of paradise.
The skylark and the nightengalej 2
Though small, and light of wing,
Yet warble sweeter in the grove Is
Than all the birds that sing;
And so q little woman, @
Though very little thing,
Is sweeter than all other sweets,

FAITHFULUNTO DEATH.
by ALICE STARR.

Beautiful Maud Ashleighl AS sit
lreamily at my window, this soft,
balmy, spring day, it almost seemed
as if | could see her again, as / saw
her one frosty morning, tripping light
ly down the street, clinging to her
lovers arm, her wealth of sunligh: hair
floating, in a ripping mass, from un-
der her jaunty cap, and her bright
eyes upturned to the smiling, manly
form bending over her.
Charlie Beardsley and Maud had
been engaged fol over year, and the
wedding day was not far distant when
the Southern rebellion broke out, and
wars wild tnmnlt agitated the land !;
and, with the first call for men, Char
lie felt that he, too, must go to help
protect the national honor, and the
dear old flag we all loved SO well.
Maud Ashleigh was dear friend of
mind we had been school girls to-
gether, and, although / had been mar
ried nearly two years, it had made no
difference with our friendship; she
was spending few weeks at my house
when the terrible call for aid was
given, and, Ola the evening when
Charlie told her of his determination
to enter the army, / was seated by
cheerful fire, in the back parlor, and
separated from the lovers only by
large sliding doors, and thus became
an unintentional listerner to their con.
yersation.

heard Maud exclaim. "To think of
your dear life being risked, down on
those terrible battle-fields, while l am
chained here so far away, where can
not aid or comfort, no, nor even see
you'll Oh it is dreadfulp And she
wept bitterly. as
Then / heard Charles voice; sooth.
ing her fondly, and murmuring,-
"Maud! Maud, my. darling, don't
sob so; it cuts me to the heart to
think that l have caused you such
grief; ! must go, little one; surely you
would not have people pointing me out
as coward, and laggard, who feared
to respond to his country's call Z Look
up, pet, and try to think that all will
come right, and, almost before you
know it, 1 shall be with you again, and
then, Maud, we'll hayea gay
wedding, and you will be proud to
think that your husband was no COW

dured that night!

was light, We were again on the search,
and in about an hour we found her ;

feet from two Confederates, lay the

which all the brightness Of life had fed
forever, leaving only q pure, pale,

The two caskets, Charles and
Maids, stood side by side in the chan

double funeral was solemnized. The
Church was thronged with weeping

many idly curious ones, who could not
share iii our bitter sorrow; but could
not weep, although my heart ached !;

spirits of the Still forms lying before

ere his spirit took it's fight, and in her
fond embrace he had breathed his last.
Never had Maud's perfect features

she lay in her coffin; BY her lovers
side. The violet eyes were hid tindsr
the waxen lids, and the long, bright
lashes swept her snowy cheek, while
in her fair. wavy hair, and folded
hands; were snowy blossoms, fit en-
blems of the spotless young life that
had fed. She, too, looked happy, al
most smiling, and the slightly parted
lips were about to murmur, /" Faithful
