How well do remember
The'quiet homely spot,
The mountain BY the river,
And fathers dear old cot;
The signing winds Of autumn,
Andssniips OF lovely morn.
The hopeful days OF childhood,
The spot whcrc / was born.
Ihe aged pines ansi evcrgreens,
Eeside the Water-fail,
That waved Per us lii childhood,
Are dear to omemosy ALL
The winding paths, the meadows,
The graves beside the hill,
And the old familiar play grounds
Are bright in memory still
We love the hills and the valleys,
The rivers gentle flow,
The beach and the maple Woodland
And the days Of long ago;
But the dearest spot on ear;h
is the cool and shady nook,
Where the good old cottage stood for years,
Beside the mountain brook
Then guard the ancient relic,
Oh! spare them one and all,
IT'S all that time has left us,
That memory can recall;
Here thought, like rays Of sunlight,
Oft fingers 0 ,er the shrine,
And mourns o'er pages written
By unrelenting time.
Then gently whisper evergreens,
y Play softly with the breeze,
And Earth keep holy silence,
As Autumn's withered leaves
Fall lightly as the snow flakes
While Natures fond embrace
Entombs the faded emblems
That consccrate the place,

The Schooling of Life.

That this life is stage on which to
develop the human soul is scarcely to
be doubted. All our good things are
evolved from the condition of human
life. The evolution of faculty into the
conduct and into character; the fixing
OF principles in a mans life, so that
they become powers in him-these
things are accomplished BY the school
ing Of life itsel. No man inherits ac-
tivity, enterprise, foresight, justice, be-
nevolence, the finer feelings. They
are developed in him by training; and
it is training for which this world is
specially adapted. It is good sharp
ening world. 1t is good stimulating
gether. It is world that wakes men
up, and by ten thousand necessities on
every side couples them to think, and
think far ahead; to forbear, and to de-
nv themselves; to restrain self-indulgg
ence: to combine thoughts and to sys-
temize them. 1t is a world which is
educating men into practical philoso-
ply and economy. The world, by its
very necessities, engenders in menI
these yirtrlous traits; and it is fair,
since ii does so universally, that it was
designed to do So Henry Ward

The Road West.


General Cass, President OF the Nor
thern Pacific, and General Manager
Mead, were in Bismarck last week
looking up the affairs OF the road.
General Cass, in reply to direct III
quiry in regard to the prospect OF adj
vaneement by the road, stated that
the work west Of the Missouri would,
beyond peradventure, be commenced
in the early spring. The failure OF Jay
Cooke & CO., and others had created a
general financial stringency all over
the country, and it had been thought
best under the circumstances to dO no
further work this fall; but there was
nothing in the circumstances which
warranted the impression prevailing
somewhat generally that work would
be suspended indefinitely. So far as
he knew the programme laid out for
the coming season would be followed
ont. An immense trade in Montana
was demanding an outlet and the Nor
thern Pacific would respond to the call

controls his irritation and talks to heI
about it. He tells her how wrong It Is
for people of their age to be disturbed
by such trifes, and shows 50 clearly
the folly of such course that she pc
comes ashamed of her weakness, and
returns to the game and plays It SC
well that she beats him. Then lie
throws the checkers in one direction
and kicks the board in another, and
saws he never will play with anybody
who cheats SO alfredly, and stalks OF
moodily to bed and leaves her to picl
up the things.

MILKING STOOLS.-I saw an article
in a. late issue of your paper about
milking and milking stools, wherein
"Jerichov thinks a common wooden
bucket the most convenient seat. Let
me tell him how to make what | call a
convenient stool.
Take piece of board eight inches
wide and two feet long, nail short pie
ces across the ends to increase its
strength, and bore holes through; put
two legs in one end eight or ten inches
long, and one in the other, or forward
end, a little shorter. Place the stool
where you want to sit, the end with
one leg where you usually set the pail.
Place the pail on one end and SIT on
the other, then You have your pail out
of the dirt, and the COW cannot easily
put her foot in it, as is SO often the
pail is on the ground.
IF the legs prove too long, saw them
off little. Some COWS are SO low that
you are obliged to set the pail on the
ground, in such case you can turn the
stool around. Try it, and see how you
like it.

most prominent features were these:
His escape from his mother, when at
the. age of seventeen, he fell madly in
love with the Indian maiden Tootoo-
loo (Sunfiash), and followed her to her
home, adopted the habits Of the Che
lrokees, married her, and for fhree
years, nnder the name of OolootlSx

though still wanting six months Of his
legal majority, to the heroic stature
which then, dressed III hunting shirt
and nocassins, with blankets and head
gear, and ever afteIward, however
dressed, made him a man of mark; his
abandonment, sixteen years later iii
life, while Governor of Tennessee, and
when his early pranks had been for
gotten in his success as a lawyer and
triumphs as a politician, of his yorng
and accomplished bride the day after
marriage; his resignation of office and
winding up Of business and settlement
of affairs with the utmost deliberation.

friends and the jeers of foes; his Sc

claiming his native wife, and dwelling
three years longer with his tribe, and
his sudden departure at last for Texas

and delight.
