LONG BATTLE BETWEEN OXEN.-The
Augusta Me. Journal has the following
account of n prot-acted battle between two
oxen iE that State Mr.. Corydon Chan
wick and Mr.. Sullivan Erskiue have a pas
ture in common at South China, which
they use for the pasturage of cattle in the
pasture. Mr.. Chadwick and Mr.. Erskine
have each an OK with a Topped or crooked
horn, the right horn of one and the left of
the other having that peculiar formation.
These oxen were turned loose into the
common pasture, and was between them
on that spot that the pitched battle Of
which we are TO speak took place. For Sc
veral days these cattle had been missing :;
when the other cattle came up these were
not among the number How many days
they had been missing before search was
instituted is not definitely known but be-
coming alarmed the owners went in quest
Of them. Coming to an opening in the
woods, covering an area of about half an
acre, Mr.. Chadwick, who went in search,
came upon sickening spectacle. The lop-
ped horns of the oxen were clasped, and
the exhausted animals. united compactly,
stood face to face, waiting for death, hav-
ing apparently given up the struggle. 1t
is supposed that while they were engaged
in play their horns became entangled fail
ing to disconnect themselves, a terrible
struggle of several days took place The

Miss Britton, or Johnnie .BrittOn, as she
is called there, was born in Lewisburg.
Her parents were very well off. When quite
young she was given many priv leges, and
most of her slime was spent with little boys.
As she grew UP the habit of associating
with her opposite sex developed, and final
ly she became averse to assOciating with
any but boys. She played marbles with
them, went with them almost everywhere,
and so well was she liked that 10 excur-
sion party was complete without Johnnie
Britton was among them. The boys grew
up with the girl, and now have become so
attached tc her that they treat her in all
respects just as one of their own number.
| ION the day of the ball game she charter
ed barouche and run it from the hotel to
the ball ground for the benefit of her
friends She at all times has a roll of green
backs in her pocket; is willing to bet, treat,
loan, buy or trade; and is extremely liberal
among her friends. She is never seen on
the streets at night, however. This is
noble example she sets to the young men
of Lewisburg. After nightfalI she remains
at home and passes her time with her
widowed mother. She has no one paying
attention to her. A member of the Read
ing club asked her whether she was never
going to be married. She replied "Wen,
can't say, but guess not. 1 hate wo-
men and hate to be recognized as one.
Don't think shall ever Oe foolish enough
to hitch.''
Lewisburg is in local option county,
and nothing strong is openly sold Miss
Britton informed the Reading gentlemen
that if they wanted any ale, she could tell |
them where to get it. Only one saloon
keeper sells ale. He says it is Lauer's. /
He has it shipped to point five miles dis
tant, in a non.local option district, and |
then he goes for it by wagon at night. lie
sells it down in a cellar, in a narrow red !
hot room, and gets ten cents for very
small glass, or three glasses for a quarter.
Miss Britton is about the only one in Lew
isburg who can get what she wants at that
point, as the proprietors have the utmost
confidence in her. She says that chewing
tobacco is disgusting habit, and one that
young men ought to break up. She mounts
a horse just like man, and ride with great
skill and daring.
All in all, this female is one of the most
persOnages of the kind we have
ever heard Of She visits the town gymna-
sium, dresses in tights and performs and
exercises with the rest of the boys. And
to-day, there is not kinder soul in that
section. She was particularly obliging and
accommodating, and did everything to
make the stay of the Reading club pleasant
and agreeable. She was the observed of
all observers among the visitors and the
Reading gentlemen, as may be imagined,
were so totally overcome with the singular
that they booked on in mute
had very little to say, and
allowed the man woman to do all the talk
ng herself. a great institution is John
1ie" Britton, andLewis0uCg has at least
one thing about it to write up, in remem-
orance OF the sleepy, dusty, SLOW and un-
known little town.-Reading EHgls.

The Faithful Boy.

Gerhardt was German shepherd boy:
and noble boy be was, TOO, although he
was very, very poor. One day as he was
watching his aOck, which was feeding in a
valley on the borders of forest, hunter
came out of the wood, and asked:
How far is it to the nearest village ?''
six miles, SIR" replied the boy, "but
the road is only a sheep track, and very
easily missed"
The hunter glanced at the crooked track,
and then said
my lad, l am hungry, tired, and thirsty.
have lost my companions, and missed my
way. Leave your sheep and show me the
road. will pay you WELL"
81 cannot leave my sheep, SIR" replied
the boy They would stray INTO the
forest, and be eaten by the wolves, or sto-
len by the robbers"
''Well, what of that % replied the hunt
er. "They are not your sheep. The loss
of one or more wouldn': be much to your
master, ard III give you more money than
YOU ever earned in whole year,
II cannot 60, SIR" rejoined Gerhardt,
very firmly my master pays me for my
time, and he trusts me with his sheep. If
| were TO sell my time, which does not be-
long to me, and the sheep should get lost,
it would be just the same as if stole
:hem.''
"Well, y said the hunter, will you trust
your sheep with me while you go to the
village and get some food and drink and
guide ? will take care of them for you
The boy shook his head. ''The sheep
do not know your voice, and" here Ger
hardt stopped speaking.
Sir" said the boy, slowly, ''you tried
to make me Erlse 10 my trust, and wanted
me to break my trust 10 my master. How
do know you would keep your word to
ne?''
The hunter laughed but lie felt that the
boy had fairly sileuced him. He said II
see, my lad, that you are good, faithful
boy. l will not forget you. Show me the
road, and will follow it myself"
Gcrhardt now offered the humble con-
tents of his wallet to the hungry man, who.
coarse as they were, ate them gladly.
Presently his attendants came up, and
then Gerhardt, to his surprise, found that
the hunter was the Grand Duke, who OWL
ed all the country round. The Duke was
so pleased with the boys honesty, that he
sent for him shortly after, and had him
educated. Inafter years Gerhardt became
a very rich and powerful man, and he re-
mained honest and true TO his dying day.
Honesty, truth and fidelity are precious
Jewels in the character of child. When
they spring from piety they are pure dia-
monds, and make their possessor very
beautiful, very happy, very honorable, and
very useful. May you young readers,
wear them rs Gerhardt did Then one
greater than a Duke will befriend you, for
the Great King will adopt you as His
children, and you will become princes and
princesses royal in the Kingdom of Cod

THE PILLAR OF BEAUTY.

Scatter the germs of the beautiful
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring by the cottage gat
And the vine on the garden wall
Cover the rough and rude of earth
With a vail OF leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march Of Summers hours.
''Scatter the germs of the beautiful
1n the holy shrine of home!
Let the pure, the fair and the graceful there
In the loveliest lustre come;
Leave not trace of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about the earth its germs
OF nature and of art.
"Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the temple of our God
The God who starred the uplifted sky,
And lowered the trampled sod
When He built temple Himself,
And home for His priestly race,
He reared each arch in symmetry
And curved each line in grace.
'Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the depths of the human soul;
They bud ard blossom, and bear the fruit,
While the endless ages roll.
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals Of the tomb,
And the fair and pure about His path
In Paradise shall bloom"
