The Women of Vienna.

You can see crowds everywhere, and,
perhaps, as splendid equipages, saddle
horses and toilets in other places, but
nowhere else can you see women so tall,
stately and robust, mantled with that
richness of color and gladness of ex-
preston which are the products of a
fine physical organization. They are
for the most part decided blondes, or
decided brunettes-Germans and Mag
yars-but they all seem to be cast in
the same large mold, and invested with
the magnifcence. In the vitality and
Influence of their charms, and the scale
of their ample' stature, they seem to be
the very women that pray, smile and
lance on the warm and glowing canvas
of Rubens. This implies, and is meant
to imply, that their beauty is not of the
finest order. In that respect our own
fair countrywomen are, honestly be-
lieve, unrivaled but, on the other
hand, they are inferior in physique to
these Austrian danes. They may speak
purer German in Dresden and Hanover,
Rnd the German calt,tS may have no I'M
polluted shrine out of Berlin, but I'M
.loubtedly it is in Vienna that German
womanhood attains the highest physical
perfection.

The Cloud.

cloud came over land Of leaves
70, hush, little leaves, lest it pass you byD
How they had waited and watched for the raiA
Mountain and valley, and vineyard and plain,
With never a sign from the sky
Day after day had the pitiless sun
Look'd down with lidless eye.
But now. On sudden whisper went
through the topmost twigs of the poplar-spirs
Out of the east light wind blew
(All the leaves trembled, and murmurd, anS
drew
Hope to the help IF desire),
1t stirred the faint pulse of the forest-tree
And breathsi through the brake and the briof
Slowly the cloud came then the wind died,
Dumb lay the land in its hot SUSPENSE
The thrush on the elm-bough suddenly stopped,
The weather warn'd swallow in modifying
dropped,
The linnet ceased song in the fence,
Mute the cloud moved, till it hung overhead,
Heavy, big-bosom'd, and dense.
All, the cool rush through the dry-tongued
trees,
The patter and plash on the thirsty earth,
The eager bubbling of runnell and rill,
The lisping of leaves that have drunk their fill,
The freshness that follows the dearth
New life for the woodland, the vineyard, the
vale,
New life with the worlds new birth

A Snake Story.

Mr.. Elisha Martin, who lives in the
valley beyond lockwood, in East Ten
nessee, met with an adventure the other
day, which merits more than passing
notice. Mr.. Martin states that while
OF work few days ago, in his field,
feeling tired, concluded to rest himself,
and with that view, sought large log
near by. After comfortably seating him
self, and while engaged in wiping per-
SEPARATION from his face, he felt something
moving under him. After getting the
perspiration out of his eyes, and look
ing down, he saw the tail end of snake
protruding from beneath his leg-a rat
tlesnake, too, for there were number
of rattles on the protruding tail, which
was wriggling violently, and at the
sametime realized the appalling fact that
he was actually seated on a huge and
venomous rattlesnake.
Most men under such circumstances
would have been paralized and unable
to move. Not so Mr.. M. Had he sud-
denly and unexpectedly been perfora-
ted with keen-pointed pin, or shot
out of cannon, he could not have got
ten off that log quicker. Indeed, the
remarkable agility, for man weighing
loO to 2OO pounds, which he displayed
in getting up, surprised no one more
than it did himself. There is a diver
sity of opinion in regard to the altitude
reached at the first spring, the distance
being yariously estimated from five feet
all the way to twenty-five feet. He was
very quick indeed, and yet not too quick,
for the venomous reptile, being released
from the ponderous weight of Mr.. Mar
tin, was proceeding to coil itself pre-.
paratory to strike the person who had
the temerity to make cushion of his
body, at least before it had shuffied off
its mortal coil, but one cut with his hoe,
which he fortunately had in his hand,
severed its head from its body.
Mr.. Martin states that the log upon
which he essayed to rest, and so hur-
riedly vacated, was lying in a swampy
place, and pretty much enveloped in tall
grass, which prevented his noticing the
snake when seating himself upon the
log, or rather upon the snake.

Horse Stables.

1t is a fault with most stables, says the
Maine Farmer, that they are built for men
rather than for horses. We wish to point
out two common errors into which not
few builders are liable to fall in construct
ing stables, especially those upon farms.
The first is in having the doors and upper
floor so low as they generally are. On
account of these low doors horses instinc-
lively learn to fear them, and they shy,
rear or prance whenever led toward them.
They are, also, among the most frequent
causes of poll-evil. The horse, when pass
ing through them, is either surprised by
something it beholds outside the building,
or checked by the voice of gesture of the
person leading him, when up goes the
head and crash comes the poll against the
beam of the doorway. A violent brulse
often results therefrom, and deep-seated
abscess follows. Low hay-foors also pro-
duce the same trouble. The sudden eleva-
ton of the head is, in the horse, expressive
of very unexpected emotion. This effect
is always noticed whenever you enter the
stable rapidly or at an unusual hour. A
sudden noise will also cause the same up
ward motion of the head. With low sta
bles an injury to the horse is almost invari-
ably sure to follow.
Again, the easiest position in which
horse can stand, is when the hind feet are
the highest pOrLlOn Oh Tie DOuy, VI "HSh
the flooring of the stall slants in exactly
the opposite direction from what it does
in most stables. This the other error in
constructing stables, to which we alluded.
Horses at liberty in a pasture invariably
stand, when at ease, with their hind feet
elevated somewhat, and it is almost won
der that builders of stables have not i'm
proved upon this fact before, and adapted
| floors to the wants of the horse. The mois-
ture from the horse, if the floor slanted to-
| ward the forward fee, would help to keep
the forward feet moist, cool and healthy
| whereas they are now generally hot, full!
of fever, and require washing with COO
soap suds at Leaf once day, in order to be
kept in healthy condition. This is not
all. Where the floor slants back, the horse
not unfrequently attempts to ease the
heavy strain upon the tlexor tendons OF
the hind legs by hanging back upon the
| halter. The pressure upon the seat OF the
| poll stops natural circulation, and in time
| it develops itself into deep-seated abscess
| We would like to see a stable in which the
two errors in building we have pointed ou
did not occur. If the builder was not salts
fed with it, we are sure the occupant woulo
be, and would repay him by long years O
good service with unstrained limbs and {
healthy system.
