OLDDUTCH PROVERBS.

We must row with the oars we have;
and as we cannot order the wind we are
obliged to to sail with the wind that God
gives.
Patience and attention will bring us
far. If the cat watches long enough at
the mouse nest, the mouse shall not
escape.
Perseverance will obtain good cabbage
and lettuce where otherwise nothing
but thistles will grow.
The plowman must go up and down.
and whatever else may be done, there is
no other but this long way to do the
work well.
Learn to sleep with one eye open. Al
soon as the chicken goes to roost it is {
good time for the fox.
If weary with waking, your portion
soon will be meager.
Fools always will ask what it is, bu
the wise know their time.
Grind while the wind is fair, and i
you neglect, do not complain of God
providence.
God gives feed to every bird, but 1t
does not bring it to the nest; in hk
manner he gives us our daily bread, bu
by means of our daily work.
Rise early; then the fisherman find
| his worms.
The dawn of day has gold in it
mouth.
He that lags behind in a road wher
many are driving always will be in
cloud of dust.

BALKY HORSES.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to animals, puts forth a set of
rules for the treatment of balky horses:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; ex-
anime the harness carefully, first one
side then on the other, speaking enoour-
agingly while doing SO; then jump into
the wagon and give the word go; gener-
ally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking
him out of the shafts and making him
go round in a circle till he is giddy. If
the first dance of this sort does not cure
him a second will.
3. To cure a bslky horse, simply
place your hard over the horses nose
and shut off his wind until he wants to
go.
4. The brain of horse seems to en-
tertain but one idea at time; therefore
confirmed whipping only confirms his
his stubborn resolves. If you can by
any means, give him new subject tc
think of, you will generally have nc
trouble in starting him. A simple rem
edy is to take couple of turns of stout
twine around the fore leg, just below the
knee, tight enough for the horse to fee
and tie in a bow knot. At the frs
check he will generally go dancing off
and after short distance you can gel
out and remove the string, to prevent
iuiury to the tendon in your furthe1
drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse betweeI
the hind legs, and tie it by cord to tn
saddle girth,
6. Tie a string around the horses ca
close to his head.

THE FARMERS PARROT.

One beautiful spring, farmer, after
working busily for several weeks, sue
ceeded in planting one of the largest
fields in corn; but the neighboring crows
committed sad havoc with it. The far
mer, however, not being willing that
the gems of future crop should be de-
stroyed, by either fair or foul means,
determined to drive the bold marauders
to their nests. Accordingly he loaded
his rusty gun, with the intention Of
giving them, upon the next visit, warm
reception.
Now the farmer had a parrot. as talk
ative and mischievous as those birds
usually are; and being very tame, it was
allowed its freedome to come and go at
pleasure. "Pretty Poll" being a lover
of company, without much caring
whether good or bad, hopped over all
obstructions, and wns soon engaged in
the farm-like occupation of raising
corn.
The farmer with his gun sailed forth.
Reaching his corn-feld he saw at q
glance (though he overlooked the parrot
the state of affairs. Levelling his gun,
he fired, and with the report was heard
the death-scream of three crows, and an
agonizing shrek from poor Poll.
On looking among the murdered
crows, great was the farmers surprise tx
see stretched upon the ground his mis-
chievous parrot, with feathers sadly ruff
fed and a broken leg.
''You foolish bird, said the farmer
"This comes of keeping bad company. "
On carrying it to the house, the chill
dren, seeing its wounded leg, exclaimed
"What did it papal-What hurt ou
Pretty Poll2"
"Bad company-bad company" an
swered the parrot in q solemn voice.

"Pol was with those wicked crows whe,

: With these words the farmer turne

weeks the parrot was as lively as evel
but never forgot its adventure in tn
I corn-feld; and if even the farmers chi

UNCLE:BOB AND THE BEES.

Mississippi reioices in the possession
of the rude talents that distinguished a
backwoods preacher known as Uncle
Bob. On one occasion Uncle Bob went
to the spiritual wants of some "breth-
rem" who convened semi-occasionally at
a little out-of-the-way church known by
the very classic name of "Coon Tail. ."
Inspired by a crowded house Uncle
Bob turned himself loose in the most
tragic style. He beat, stamped and vo-
ciferated terribly. For some time pre-
vious the rude pulpit had been unoccu-
pied. Invited by the security and quiet
of the place, a community of bumble-
bees had built a nest beneath Uncle
Bob's peculiar mode of conducting the
services had disturbed the insects, and
Just as he wss executing one of his most
tremendous gestures, an enraged bee
met him half way and popped his sting
into the end Of Uncle Bob's huge nose.
He stopped short, gave sundry vigorous
but Intellectual slaps, when he heard a
half-suppressed litter from some merry
youths in far-off corner of the house.
Turning before them with unconcealed
rage, he exclaimed ''No laughing in
the house of God; I allow no laughing
in my meeting. I'll thrash the first that
laughs as soon as service is over. y
This threat checked the incipient merri-
ment. Uncle Bob regained his com
posure, forgot the bees and soor
warmed up at a two-forty lick. But
again, in the midst of tie most impas
stoned gesGculation a bee struck hin
full in the forehead he bowed, lodged,
and beat the air frantically until rOal
of laughter arose from the congregation
Uncle Bob looked at them with mingled
feelings of rage and disgust and thel
shouted: "Meetin's dismissed G,
home Just go home, ever one of you
But as for me (taking off his coat,
don't leave this hill as long as there is
, Ibumblebee in the house."

TWENTY MILES AN HOUR.

Tom Sanders, of Buffalo, owns a lit
tie, lazy, slow mare, that is the ridicule
of his friends. One recent evening he
and some of these friends were talking
of horses, when he astonished them by
Offering to bet 800 that he could ride
his mare twenty miles an hour. He
counted out the money in tantalizing
way, remarling that his mare had been
laughed at long enough, and he had
made up his mind to show what she
she could do. 1t seemed like robbing
Tom, so they all said, to take his bet,
but he insisted, SO the stakes were put
in Trustworthy hands. A day was
chosen for the trial, and when it came,
Tom led them to the Central railroad
depot, where the homely little mare was
found aboard baggage-car. Tom had
ticketed him for Rochester by express,
and when the train was ready to start he
got on her back smiling triumphantly.
He said he reckoned he could ride that
way twenty miles an hour, unless the
timetable lied. And away went
the train with the referee holding
the watch, and the three fellows who
had joined in the bet against the mare
very sorrowful of expression. Abont
fifteen miles had been run in about hall
an hour, and Tom was grinning in an
ticipation of an easy victory, when the
car bumped over something, and he wal

"YOU CAN'T CONE IT OVER ME-"

Governor Bradley, of Nevada, got on
the train at Elko, last week to go to
Palisade. The car was crowded, and he
was compelled to perambulate the entire
length of the car to obtain seat.

who had generously given up half his
seat to the stranger who thus accosted
