The man across the way has horse and
carriage. We have none. Three sadder
words we never saw. The man across the
way drives gaily forth every pleasant after
noon with his wife beside him. And we en-
Wy him and can't help it. There are others
OF the neighbors who envy him, and could
we reach each others hearts we would find
that our thoughts were following the lucky
horseman in his various turns about town, IN
his cantering here and trotting there, and in
the shine of his carriage and the proud bear
ing of his horse. But if it is sadness to see
him drive away, yet there is pleasure IN see
ing him come back. For it is dark when he
returns, the sunshine is gone, and in its stead
is darkness with frost in it. He smiled COM
placently when ne handed his wife into the
carriage, but he doe mt smile when he hands
her out. Perhaps the operation requires SO
much care and attent ion that it would not be
right to smile. We now his nose is red be-
cause we can see it as he drives by the lamp.

gloomily wonders why heaven so favors her
above him. He stumbles painfully along to
the stable with the horse, which he now
thoroughly despises, ambling behind him.
his hands are so numb he can hardly undo
the fastenings of the door, his legs have
awakened, and appear to be reproaching him;
ms eyes are full OF water, and his soul over
moving with discomfort. No harness was ev-
er before so difficult to remove as is
this. He feels the wrath bubbling up TO the
highest water-mark, and he could scream
out-he is so mad. We are seeing nov how
wicked 1t is to envy our felow-man. He
hears footsteps on the sidewalk, and sees the
flash of warm light shoot out into the cold
air as the various neighbors, having returned
from their work, and having no horse, disap-
pear hastily within and tahe with them the
bright, cheerful light. He get the horse in
the door, and starts to look up the lantern.
He bumps various parts of his anatomy
against articles it is too dark to learn the ma
ture of. He would cry out in his pain and
misery were he not awed by the Astonishing
profusion OF the things he is falling over. He
gives up the lantern and pulls off the harness
to hang up. The straps dangle down and get
under his feet and trip him, and the impa-
.ient animal suddenly bolts into the stall before
IL is fully undressed. Then there is another
iIaren S';s ior the lantern, and during it he raps
nis neau against a beam, and the blow is SO
slo,en. tnat 1t stirs up every one Of his ideas,

Mysteries IF q Mountain Cavern.

John McCOrgurdale, prospector, came in
yesterday evening and reported most wor-
derfuI discovery in the Aquareus mountains.
We give his story, believing it to be true. He
has been ont about forty days, starting in at
point twenty-five miles from this place, and
in passing up a canyon he noticed the forma-
don as being peculiar and showing signs of
recent travel. On his return through the
sanie canyon he found fresh living stream.
running down the middle OF the gorge, which
had evidently been opened by the shock OF an
earthquake or by the heavy rains bursting
out from some underground passage. On fol-
lowing the spring to its course he found a fis-
sure in the rocks, out of which the stream
seemed to come. Providing himself with
torches, he forced himself through the fissure.
wading the stream tor one hundred wards.
when he came to an immense cave or cavern.
Here he found old mining relics, such as
picks, shovels, etc., made out of stone and
copper. On one side he found what he
considered to be tomb-stones, with numerous
tablets and hieroglyphic pictures and writings.
One OF these tablets, made of copper, he tore
off and brought with him. 1t bears the in
scription ''sit tibi terra leris." In one place
he found stone box, which he broke open
of them the word "Pezzo' can be plainly
made out Another tablet, found on the
hard granite wall, bears this inscription:
''Jurtd mira Muros. He also found a scab-
bard, richly enbroidered d and having coat of
arms of solid gold, set with precious stones.
The place bore evident traces of many peo-
pie living there at some previous time.
And that they excelled in mining and some
art is beyond a doubt. He also carried
away other and valuable articles which he de-
clines to Exhibit. He goes to San Francisco
Immediately, where he will exhibit curiosi-
ties and make arrangements to come back
and the mountains in the vicinity. 1t is the
opinion here that there is immense wealth
buried in some place in the cave. Many men
are fitting out to make search for the cave
themselves. McCorgurdale feels safe in hold
ing his secret His story has created the
greatest excitement among those to whom he
told it and exhibited specimens.

sending out their catalogues this month, and
they should be studied and list of all needed

er your grounds and see how much grass
seed will be needed this spring, and buy it
early. 1t is poor economy to leave work
day or hal, day in April, to go off and buy
seed, just when you ought to be bushing it in
or rolling down the ground. The spring is
too short and the time too valuable to be vast
ed by doing what might be done equally well
new.
Any kind of carpenter work, such as max
ing new tools or repairing old ones, making
sap-spouts or trough, hop bed sashes and
frames, bird-houses or anything of the kind
that will be needed in spring, should be
made in advance. Stormy days should af-

WINTER CARE OF HoRsEs.-Copsiderable
is written nowadays about false economy in
various ways. My observation leads to the
conclusion that one important item Is almost
entirely overlooked, and that thousands of
dollars are lost each year by the careless win
tering oil farm horses. For instance: Farmer
A. owns fine span of horses. He is not
much OF horseman, but in the summer he
works them and keeps man who takes good
care OF them. In the fall, after work Is over,
the horses are put into the stable and fed all
the hay they will eas (5e the same good OF
bad, are left perhaps week or two at a
time, with little or no exercise, and, when
they are driven, are let to go at the top of
theii speed, Fast driving, with stomachs full
OF undigested hay, is the very worst of treat
| ment. The result is that, in year or two,
the horses have the heaves badly, are spoiled
| for market. and are unable to do the usual
| amount OF service on the farm or road; and
this alone causes a loss each year so long as
| the team is used.
This could in some degree be avoided by
| building shed with yard for exercise, and
by feeding food of sufficient strength to keep
the muscles in full strength. Some say that
wintering horses in the field ON hay alone will
cause falling away of muscles and strength
difficult to regain. No doubt being chilled by
standing in cold barn is very Injurious to
horses. lCor. Country Gentleman.
HEAvEs.-The cause of heaves or broken
wind is not yet satisfactorily accounted for.
| 1t is said by some veterinarians to be incur
| able; still we never found a case in our ex-
perience that was not either greatly relieved
or entirely cured by simple treatment. This
was as follows: To aid the digestive power by
simple tonics, and to feed the most nutriti-
tious and least stimulating food in small
bulk, avoiding all dry, dusty food. For in
stance, horse purchased by the writer for
| very small sum, as being incurabiy dis
eased with the heaves, was fed three times
day with pailful of cut timothy hay and
oats in the sheaf, soaked in hot water and
fed when cold, mixed with three quarts OF
oats, corn and rye bran ground together.
A handful OF salt was given in each feed, and
occasionally few raw potatoes or carrots
cut and spinkled with bran, were given in
addition. Nothing else was done, no med
icine was given, no long hay was fed, and all
dust in the feed was carefully guarded
against. The result was an immediate change
for the better, and no trouble from the dis
order at all after few weeks. The horse
was then allie to drive rapidly, and might be
| considered cured. On the other hand,
horses have been known to become diseased
Immediately after feeding upon dusty cloyer
hay, tie Inhalation OF the dry seed chaff or
other dust doubtless causing the trouble.

EXPLOSIONS.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a, 1873.
SELDOM, if ever, pick up newspaper without
Il seeing, among the first items that arrest nv at
tention, the record of terrible boiler explosion
Very many causes are assigned for this loss of life
and property. A great deal is said as to what should
be done and what should not be done. But scarce
ly hear it said that these explosions are due to
an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler and yet eight
out of ten instanc that in midst are nn-
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now permit me to say that manufacture Com
position that will readily and thoroughly remove this
fncrustation; and while am constantly sending it
over the United States exact no pay for its
less it gives perfect satisfaction and fulfls all The
claims make for it.
My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler,
no matter how deep may be the ircrusaton, and at
the same time it will prevent injury to the Boiler
from anything which may be held in solution by the
water contained IN it. This article will absolutely
prevent the formation of Scale If timely introduced
The powder which manufacture has been care
fully tested by some of the ablest chemists in the
eountr, and its fitness to keep iron clean and to
preserve it has been demonstrated by them in the
most satisfactory manner
If you will send for my circular with my terms and

able to convince the most sceptica that this compo
sition will justify all claim for it.
