Stopping the Export of HOrses,

The recent stringent measures taken
by Germany to prevent the export OF
horses to France is having an i'm
portant influence on Austria. Austria,
and especially Hungary, have of late
become recruiting ground for almost
all the armies on the continent. Italy,
Germany, Turkey, and last year even
Spain imported them in large num-
bers. From Hungary alone some $780,
900 were exported last year, excellent
light cavalry horses, while from Aus
tria, and especially Bohemia, half as
many more stronger animals were
taken away. France has not received
horses from there hitherto, but the
German market being closed to it, she
will have to do so in some measure.
The question may still arise how far
Austria will be able to stand the drain
without impairing its own defensive
powers. 1t is an army question with
all the powers.

DEAD DAYS.

Our summers are but burial places, where
We lay to rest the sweet days as they
die
Softening their outline with loves rose
mary,
And memory's lavender, and all of rare
Tokens to keep them fair.
Our winters are the vaults whose ice
fringed cells
Shut in still other coffned days, for
whom,
When born and left amid their frozen
gloom,
White surpliced fakes Gn place of lilly
Tinkle their muf1ed knells.
bury them, and sigh. with bowing head
Submissive else: The tender days must
For they are earthly-born, and perish 50;
Yet by what augury hath any said
That they are wholly dead?
The short-child meted grave ser which we
yearn
Even yet-the empty birds nest filed
with SHOWS
The leefess bough--the spring that comes
and goes
Teach resurrection lessons, each in turn,
Which we are quick to learn.
Our days die thus; and we-their lives
withdrawn
Like other mourners, fail of faiths con-
troll,
Forgetful that each memory is the soul
Of dead day, such as in summers gone
Mid rosemary sleeps on.
And when they meet us yonder, face to
facet
After their resurrection-shall we then
Hail them with greet and welcome once
again,
Companions of our blessedness always
Dear, risen, deathless days?

When a st. Louis girl wants her
young man to kiss her right bad she
twists her head around like a calf lick
ing it's left hind hip, and says: Don't!
ouitl I'll call my ma :" and he doesn't
Quiet. A Cincinnati girl does not do
that way. She throws her head back,
works her ears like pair of palm-leaf
fans, holds her arms out, and says !:
"Oh! George, kee-is me and let me
dee-ie; come to me arms" and he
kills her right there. She dies happy,
but lives to die some more that way.
It makes our girls sick down here.
They aren't nsed to it. They put that
part of the business off until they get
so old and tough that a good, square,
"paroxysmal' kiss loses its sweetness
We know; we amt pretty, but-we've
been there.

Garibaldi's Project for the canaliza~
ton of the river Tiber is daily finding
fast supporters. The idea of render
ing Rome a seaport is not new, and at
the present time the river is navigable
up to Rome for small vessels from $50
to 200 tons, burthen. Some small
screw steamers of $50 tons, drawing 16O
of water, ply regularly between Rome,
Civita Vecchia, Leghorn and Genoa,
but the landing accommodation is so
bad at the former place that this trade
is insignificant. The rescue OF the
sickly territory and marshes around
Rome is part of the project.

Two Sides Of 0 Story.

"What's the matter2" said Growler to the
black cat as she sat humping on the kitch-
en- doorstep.
"AIattor enough" said Grimalkin, turning
her head another way. "Our cook is very
fond Of talking Of hanging me. ! wish
| heartily some one would hang her"
"Why what is the matter" repeated
Growler
Hasn't she beaten me. and called me a
thief, and threatened TO be the death of me2'
Dear, dear !" said Grower. "Pray What
has brought it about2"
90, the merest trine, absolutely nothing ;
IL is her temper. All the servants complain
of IT, | wonder they haven't hanged hor
long ngo."
"Well, you see" said Growler, cooks are
awkward things TO hang you and | might
be managed much more easily
Not drop of milk have had this day."
said Grimalkin, "and such pain in my
side -
"But what" said Growler," is the imme-
diate cause p
lIavn't told you 2" said pussy, pettishly
ats her temper-what | have to suffer
from IL Everything she breaks she LAYS TO
me. Such injustice 1t is unbcaroblel"
Grower was quite indignant, but being Of
reflective turn, after the first gust Of
wrath had passed, he asked
But was there no particular cause this
morning."
" She chose TO be very angry because Of
Tended her." said the cat.
How. may ask" gently inquired Grow
Ter.
90, nothing worth telling "A mere mis-
take Of mine"
Growler looked at her with such a ques-
tionng expression that she was compelled
to say, 81 took the wrong thing for my break
fast"
"Ol" said Grover, much enlightened.
"Why, the fact was" said Grimalkin, con-
hdentially, " | was springing at a mouse, and
knocked down dish and not knowing ex-
actly what it was, smelt it, aud Just tasted
it, and it was rather nice, and"
You finished it, suggested Grower.
"Well, | should, ! believe, if that cook
hadn't came in. As it was, | left the head"
"The head Of whaty" said Grower.
How inquisitive you are, said the black
cat
Nay, but | should like to know said
Growler.
"Well, then, of some fish that was meant
for dinner"
"Then," said Growlcr "say what you
please but now I've heard both sides of the
story, | wonder she didn't hang you"
And so, little reader, You may judge
whether the cook or Grimalkin was at fault
and of one thing be certain, every story has
two Sides and it is always best to hear both
before making up your mind.

The Travellers Finger.

\ young man, one summer evening, was
passing through the Bskony Forest, in Hun
gary; he was quite alone the wood was
dark, and people had told him of band OF
robbers who prowled through it. The soli-
tary traveller carried purse well filed with
silver dollars, which did not belong to him.
lie had no weapons, however, except a
knotted stick, which he carried in his right
hand.
Now the sun went down altogether The
shadows of the trees became darker and
darker. The wanderers path became mar
rover the forest wilder But this change
did not trouble his brave heart he pushed
aside the branches which hung in his way
and trudged sturdily onward. Hour after
hour went by. TWAS past midnight.
There is a place in the forest where many
trunks of trees tells that the woodcutter's
axe has been busy. The wanderer arrives
at this spot and-hc is no more alone !
Who can it be? The drawn sword was in
the strangers hand.
"Your money ryour life said the robber.
He pulled out his Purse and handed it to
the Ohber.
take it" he said, q for you are stronger
than | ann
The robber took the money, and was about
to disappear into the forest.
Stop T. said the traveller; " first do me a
favor"
"And what is that 2" asked the fobber.
"You must cut off joint Of my little
finger"
"That is contrary to our rules" replied
the robber. We only strike where we meet
with resistance"
Good" said the traveller; but you can
make an exception in my case. The money
does not belong to me- If come back with
sound skin people win say that am the
thief mysef; half finger will save my honor. -
"That unreasonable enough, answered the
robber. II will do as you wish"
The traveller laid his left hand, with his
little finger stretched out, upon the nearest
stump; the robber raised his sword and
smote with all his strength--the traveller
drew away his finger and the sword cleft into
/ the wood
Now !" exclaimed the traveller, now we
are matched as to arms Then, quick as
! lightning, he sprang upon the robber, and
before the fellow could pull his sword out OF
the stump, he had mastered him entirely"

Mean and Wicked Children.


II is not AN uncommon thing for children
to grow up and become better of than their
parents. The poor mans son becomes rich.
The daughter of poor mother becomes the
mistress OF anobe mansion. How doyou sup
pose such children would treat their parents Z?
"They ought to treat them very kindly,
and give them lots of good things" we hear
you say. OF course they ought But il is a
fact that many such children despise and
neglect their poor parents. The silly crea-
lures are ashamed of their own fathers and
mothers. Shame on their cold, wicked
hearts, we say, don't you
Some rich children are nobler however,
and continue TO honor their parents. Arch
bishop Tillotson was one of this class. His
father, who was very plain man. called one
day and asked
"ls John Tillotson at home ?
Get out !" cried the angry servant, who did
not like TO hear his learned master inquired
for in such plain terms by SO plain man.
But Tillotson had heard his fathers voice,
and rushing to the door exclaimed, in pres
ence of the astonished servant;
II is my beloved father s
This was manly, flial, Christian conduct
We trust that ii any Of our readers should
become rich while their parents are poor,
they viii initiate good John Tillotson, and
not be so mean as to be ashamed Of those
whose love provides all their wants. Honor
thy father and thy mother"

A Cup Of Water.

Tommy Travcrs was a water carrier on n
railroad that ran from busy city into the
quiet. beautiful mountain regions, bearing
crowds Of city people away for their summer
vacation.
Tommy's personal appearance was not
striking. Few people looked further than
the small brown hand that dealt out cool
water to the thirsty passengers. Though
Tommy expected no reward except what the
company paid him at the end of the month,
h. sometimes thought how pleasant it would
be- 10 know people, and TO receive a kind
word or a smile for his efforts 10 please.
II was on sultry July afternoon that
saw the little fellow with his honest face.
The cars were filed to overlooking with pas
scngers for the mountains, and with the dust
and heat aud cindeIs pouring in clouds
through the cars, and the frequent stopping
of the hea,ily-loaded train, they were q very
noisy, discontinued set of people. Tommy
thought as he heard the little boys and girls,
nicely dressed and well cared Tor, fretting
and making themselves and everybody IN
hearing uncomfortable, that he should be
very willing to endure the dust and heat ii
he could 70 and stay in the fresh, pure air OF
the mountains all Summer; aud feeling just
little disconnected at his lot, he carelcssly
spilled the contents OF glass of water ON
the dress of lady he was serving

Agricultural ImpOssibilities.

Some time ago we pointed out the fact
that il was impossible to raise a variety Of
corn that would produce five or six large
cars upon O stalk. since that would involve
the production Of -four or five hundred bush.
cls of .hcllcd corn TO the acre, while our best
farm land is incapable of furnishing sufii-
cicnt plant food ia q year to give the half Of
such a crop.
Similar absurd claims are made for almost
every now. or pretended new, variety of
grain that is introduced. We find this very
kind of imInssihility in the statements of q
correspondent, in an exchange, in reference
10 the socallcd "hullcss oats" lie rays !.
These outs win grow on any land where
common oats will They are the best and
cheapest feed grown, requiring only about
one fourth the manure that corn docs. In
some cases we can raise as many bushels (by
mcasue) of the hulloss a, we can Of the
common think our farmers do not, on an
average, raise over about fifty bushels per
acre Of common oats, while last year--as
near a. { can learn average of forty
bushels of the hullcss was raised. One
measured bu-hel will weigh from forty to
fifty pounds. We can get only about twelve
aud half pound. of meats from hushel Of
good common oats
Now, IL is an accepted maNim that " out
of nothing nothing can he got" It is just
as probable that We could get two pounds Of
butter q day from a COW fed ON straw, as
thatNc could get as much feed Gin any forum
from an acre Of land with FIVE tons Of ma
nure. as ve can got with twenty tons Of the
same manure. II we want to get a large
product, the only way is to feed better,
whether it is an animal or plant from which
the product is expected It is not the breed
or the seed, that, primarily gives us the pro-
duct but the fred. True it is that good
breeds and good seeds are necessary in order
to obtain large products. But these breeds
and seed. are good simply because they have
the powrot turning large quantities of food,
(either animal or plant food into valuable
products. Without good feed good breeds
and good seeds are often Of less value than
inferior ones, since the former, being i'm
proved only by high breeding, or high cul-
ture, fail entirely. where scrub kind will do
toleubly we'll.
We know nothing about the hulless cats ;
we are only using them to illustrate an inn
portant and often forgotten fact, which is
one of the first principles of agriculture.
one thing is sure il the hulless oat viii
produce eighteen hundred pounds of"meats -
Oh the same land where the common oat will
yield only six haudrcd pounds, it will take
three times as much material out Of the
ground to do it with. and leave the land
three times as poor. You have to get up
ary if you want to take in God"
