H U n o Ro US.
Daddy's Boy.

Ina certain small town on the Mississippi
lived man who made. horse-trading BUSH
ness. He bought up horses for city-market.
end vas considered pretty good on trade.
One day long, lean, queer, green looking
specimen of the Western country, arrived at
the dock with a boat load of horses. He in
quired for the horse,jockey.
Daddy sent me down with some horses"
he said, in half-idiotie tone.
"Who's he z"
"Daddy"
''What do you want for your horses ?"
Daddy said you could set your price" was
the reply.
''Let me go down and look at your horses, -
said Brown, and accordingly they were soon
on the boat.
Brown examined the horses, and named
the price he would give for this one and that.
aud the country pumpkin made no objections.
although some of the offers were not more
than one>half of the real value of the animal.
One of the by-standers gently suggested to
the couutryman that he was being cheated.
but he returned
Daddy said Brown would set the price
himself" and so Brown had it all his own
way.
At last they came to an animal which did
not look much superior to the rest.
81 must have more for that anermal," he
saii; "daddy says he can run some."
Run ~ said Brown, "thas nag can't run
worth a cent"
Daddy says so, and daddy knows"
"Why, I've got one up to the stable that
can beat it all to hollow"
"Guess not" said the fellow. Let's try
'em. III bet the whole boat load of horses
on him."
Brown smiled.
''I'll stake FIVE thousand dollars against
your boat load, /" said Brown, winking to the
crowd, land these men," selecting two.
''shall hold the stakes"
Browns FIVE thousand was entrusted to one.
and the other went on board the horse boat.
One of. the crowd started to demonstrate
with the poor idiotic fellow, but he only re-
sPOuded: "GollyI dad told me he could
run some, and daddy ought to loose 'em if
he was such tarnal fool as to tell me that
when he couldn't"
Browns sleek racer was brought down,
and Brown mounted him. The couutryman
led out his animal and climbed on his back,
looking as uncouth and awkward as the horse
he proposed to ride.
The word was given, and they started amid
Enc laugEter OF the crowd. At first Brown
was ahead, and it looked as though the Door
fellow was to be badly heated, when his horse
suddenly plunged forward, and the iockey
was left far behind. Such going had not

Cheer up, grief-stricken mother,
Oil cease from thy repining;

Thyscloud silver lining;
Cheer up, Observation-Disclosures

OF folding to thy breast again
Thy long lost, darling boy.

Remember tnat:the night
Is always at its darkest
Ere dawns the welcome light.

Lean on Jehoyah's arm:
The brightest rainbow follows
The darkest thunder storm.

To favor the shorn lamb.
