Slightly sarcastic was the clergy
man who paused and addressed a
man coming into church after the
sermon had commenced, with the
remark, "Glad to see you, sir; come
in; always glad to see those here
late who can't come early" And
decidedly selfpossessed was the
man thus addressed in the presence
of an astonished congregation, as
he responded, "Thank you; would
you favor me with the text?"

TRUTH AND THE WEED.
BY ]. W. SIURRY,

Truth planted once its gentle seed
Within a tender heart;
II spreuted-but a certain woel
Grew with it from the start.
Truth nourished from the heart alone,
But ali! the whitening weed;
1t shot its root through every vein
With wild and wicked greed.
1t drew so freely from the food,
1t held its head so high,
That truth refined for nourishment,
The heart was left TO dry.

Average Life of Farmers.

According to DR.. Nathan Allen, in a
late address before a farmers club at
Princeton, Mass, the farmers of that
State reach an age considerably greater
than those who follow any other occupa-
ton. The registration of deaths, care
fully made in Massachusetts, for about
thirty years, forms the basis of the
doctors assertion. On an average the
farmers there live to be sixty-fve years of
age, merchants about forty nine years,
mechanics about forty-eight years. We
hardly think that the average life Of
Western farmers would be found to be so
long by several years as those Of the
States in question, yet we presume the rel
alive difference of the length of life, as
compared with those Of our mechanics
and business men, would be about the
same. The deaths from some particular
diseases are greater in number among
farmers than among some of the other
classes, such, for instance as arise from
exposure to vicissitudes of the climate,
etc; and the cases of insanity are, doubt
less, more frequent among farmers and
farmers wives, than among the people Of
cities and towns of whatever occupation.

'I-let me-up,' he faltered, "and I'll
go with you"
"And give me no further trouble?"
"No."
The dread of being lynched had a
mighty influence on him.
"See that you keep your word, then.
And mind, if on the way to Marysville
you make another such move, will shoot
you down."
And he allowed him to get up, taking
care to maintain his grasp on his arm.
But the scuffle had already attracted at
tention, and the miners came running
up from all directions.

score of them asked.
They saw by the handouts on Longs
wrists that one belonging to their camp
was in the hands of an officer, and did
not like it. They were Jealous of the
law, and, jumping to the conclusion that
Long was arrested for merely shooting
some one in little row at Marysville,
their first thought was to rescue him.
"He shan't gO!' shouted one.
"Release him!' added another.
Don't let him take me!' pleaded Dave
Long.
The crowd began to close in.

fourishing his revolver. 81 am Detective

Although threats of bullets were not

of the officer, who stood firmly grasping
assprisOner much larger than himself, and
opposing single arm to hundred reck-
les men, had its effect, and they stood I'M

tary truce, Black hurriedly whispered to
his prisoner.

and that you've concluded it's best to go

done, and they will take your
With the latter scare on him again,
Long tremblingly spoke to the mob.
"Never mind, friends. Don't interfere.
I guess I'd better 60 It'll be all right"
"What is it you've done, Long" was
asked.
He turned paler than ever.

"Ies-yes. Never mind. I'll be back"
and his heart sunk at the thought that
he never wOuld-''back before long, and

SO the detective was allowed to depart
with his prisoner.

Bob, where's your manners Leave
the table instantly" commanded the
father.
The children laughed, snd Jennie called
Bob an "illmannered little boor," and
the mortified little fellow crept sadly into
bed and sobbed until asleep.
That days experience was a fair sam
pie of Bobs whole boyhood. Nowhere
about home could his light shine freely;
the whole household tried to thrust it un
der a bushel He must not sing, whistle,
shout, talk, ask questions, or pound, yet
he must keep himself handy to run on er-
rands and to pick up chips. He must
not talk to company, for little BOYS are
to be seen, not heard :" he must not have
any company of his own because of the
consequent noise, and he couldn't 90 Wis
iting because he did not know how to be-
have properly. The idea that Bob had
any feelings and rights was not tolerated
The family did not intend to act uniustly;
they loved Bob, but they were selfish, and
did not want to be disturbed, and Bob
was so noisy, and such an inveterate
talker and questioner, if given liberty.
He was clothed and fed, and sent to
school and to church and Sabbath School;
surely that was all duty required
Bob made a discovery after awhile. He
could pound, and saw, and bang as much
as he pleased in Tom Smiths carpenter
shop. Smiths wild, half -dissipated ap-
prentice made a discovery too-that bash
full Bob Noyes had a wonderful faculty
for saying witty things, and for whistling
and singing, when he became acquainted;
and they coaxed him off more than once
to enliven the evenings at the Excelsior"
and "Star" saloons.
They were blind as moles at home until
a reckless, almost criminal, deed, commit
ted during the tumultuous period between
boyhood aud manhood, showed them that
Bob's young life was being stepped in
degradation and sin. They wept bitterly,
but not in sackcloth and ashes. Wrapped
in self-righteousness, they shifted the re-
sponsibility from their own shoulders,
and as he went from bad to worse, washed
their hands of that unavoidable family
af1liction-a black sheep.
But God and the angels knew that Bob
was not alone to blame, knew that be-
cause his light was put under bushel at
home and kept there, he had CROPPED about
in the darkness, and fallen into the ditch

How to Feed Sheep Successfully.

To BRING flock of sheep in good con-
dition, and to keep them therein, requires
not only an abundance ofgood food, but
something besides. Regularity in the
time of feeding is of the first Importance.
In handling tiocks of considerable size,
we have found that, all things considered,
two feelings day were the best. One
need not be in haste to disturb the flock in
the morning-say not before eight or nine
o'clock, when they should have good
"square meal" and again in the afternoon,
in time to be we'll through before dark.
Quiet is another essential to the comfort
and thrift Of the flock. We do not mean
the absence of exercise, which is quite nee
essary, but freedom rom worry in driv-
ing, and crowding while being housed or
penned When it is necessary for them
to be moved, it should, if possible, be
done without using dog, and by the per-
son or persons whom the sheep are &C.
customed to see. All movements when
among or near the sheep should be, as far
as practicable, of such a character as not
to startle or cause them to suddenly hud
die together, as in SO doing they are al
most certain to run over some of their
number that may be lying down. If we
had to sum up the requisites to success
full feeding in as few words as possible,
these would be l5erality, regularity and
quiet. - Western RurdI

THE late Lowell Mason once led the
choir in a church where it was the Gus
tom to take up the collection during the
singing Determined to put a stop to
this, he had an understanding with the
collectors to this end. One afternoon,
when the usual time for taking the collec-
ton came, they kept their seats. The
minister inquiring why it was, Mr. Mason
said, that as the collection was taken up
during the singing in the forenoon, they
had concluded to have it taken up during
the prayer in the afternoon.

The disease here assumed many FORMS and as to ts
treatment nearly all doctors differed but our best vet

attacks except good nursing and keeping warm. Our
celebrated Dr. Bowler, the Veterinarian Surgeon of
this city, says the disease is typhoid in it's charac
ter therefore nothing should be given the sick
to weaken debilitate the patient, but for those
which have it in violent form stimulants and
tonics the only treatment which can be of any
benefit. Now, these suggestions, we have carried
through fourteen horses all were sick but hardly
one off from duty week. Some of them were
very sick. We looked upon the sick horse as we
would the sick man, and treated him with SINH

remedy of Allen Lung Balsam we gave them large
spoonful tAree times day. While that is timu-

The account of a terrific combat
comes to us from Louisville. The hotels
of that town, as everybody knows, are
the haunts of the most ferocious cock
reaches, and the proprietor Of one of the
hotels there recently made a bet with the
owner of a big yellow bulldog that one
Of the cockroaches in his house would
whip the dog in ten minutes. The dog
was brought to the engine room Of the
hotel, and the cockroach led out from a
room adjoining the kitchen, where he
had been chained the night before, in
readiness for the fight. The plucky bull
dog pitched in at once, and the struggle
is described by the lookerso on as having
been most desperate. The cockroach
proved too strong for his antagonist,
however, and at the end of eight minutes
had completely chawed up the dog and
retired, dragging off the body, the hotel
keeper thus winning his bet, with two
minutes time to Spares. Loui- Jour-

4 Strange Meeting.

In the New York Dispatch we find an
incident growing out Of the rebellion,
which will be Of interest to many Of our
readers. The incident is headed a strange
meeting, and the journal relates how, on
an evening or two previous, a cookbook
ing man, a l0bOrer about thirty years Of
age, took = ears at Center street depot
for New : rk. There was but one va
cant seat in the car that he entered, and
that was by the side of a handsome and
elegantly dressed lady. The man sat
down, and after his fair companion had
removed her veil, he was surprised to
recognize in her his wife, whom he had
not seen for twelve years. The lady
threw her arms around his neck ard kiss
ed him tenderly, and mutual cxplana-
tions followed.
1t seems that they had been married
just before the breaking out of the war
at the home Of the lady in Missouri. Her
father was the owner Of a large tract of
land, but had only little money. He
joined the rebel cause, and the daughter
also warmly adhered to the opinions Of
her father. Her husband, however, was
a decided Union man She abused him
violently on account of his principles,
and told him if he sided with the ''bloody
she never wished to see his face again
He took her at her word, and the same
night left her and Joined Fremont's army
as private. He was several times taken
prisoner, and as often escaped to ou1.
lines. He pressed on with Sherman TO-
wand the sea, and at the conclusion of
bis term Of enlistment joined New York
regiment, and by this means, at the end
of the war, found his way to Newark,
where he has since worked quietly in a
factory.
HIS wife's father was killed at VicEs-
burg, and she was left sole possessor Of
his uncultivated farms She supported
herself by working in millinery estab-
lishment in st. Louis till after the close Of
the war. Her land rose in value, and she
sold it for good price, and realized about
s., 600. With this sum she started a mil
linery of her own in St. Louis, and sue
ceeded splendidly. She is reputed worth
$40, 900 to $4,000. She was on her way
to New York to buy goods when she met
the man whom she had supposed long
ago dead. Remorseful for driving him
away, she had refused all offers of mar
riage. The joyous meeting caused the
husband to forgive his wife's error, and a
present of new suit of clothes, dia-
mond ring and a splendid gold watch
when they arrived in New York, served
materially to incleas his respect and
affection for his long-lost wife. They are
now stopping at fashionable hotel, Joy
