good, huskily. This is a doomed
night for u household. My God
has u home become 50 disiastelnl
to our children that they fy from 30
like rats from a falling house :"
Elsie's note was short enough, 1t
read:
"Dear MoLteT:-I am tired Of liy-
ing in the kitchen. | have run away
with John Elton and before you see
me again / shall have entered upon
a new future. ELsIE.n
Mrs. Hopgood broke out into wild,
historical sobbings.
Mr.. Hopgood read the hurriedly-
scrawled paper with a face cold and
set like steel. G
run away with John Elton y be
repeated slowly. Poor Elsiel God
help her. For be is as greats villain
and scoundrel as ever lived; and she
has sealed her own doom Mother,
mother, this comes from your house
keeping"
at wasn't my fault, Isaac" sobbed
Mrs. Hopgood, rocking herself back
wards and forwards on g chair into
which she had dropped.
at was your fault" retorted her
husband, almost savagely.l You
made the very name Of home amock-
cry TO your children you shut up
your S d inside of a scrubbing pail I;
aud now you are reaping the bitter
harvest"
OF course poor Alexander Hopgood
was unable to lift his throbbing head
from the pillow the next day, and
his mother never left him until after
noon.
When at last she came down stairs,
the parlor blinds were thrown wide
open, a food Of sunshine streaming
in. the table neatly set in the pretty
dining-room, with flowers in vases,
and new books, games and puzzles
scattered around.
Mrs. Hopgood gazed around with a
3ewildered air. She hardly knew her
own home.
This is the way in which we
mast live henceforward, mother"
said her husband, cbeerily. Let in
the light and sunshine; teach Ben
and Fanny that home is something
more than an empty name, aid Try,
in so far as we can, to retrieve the
errors of u past life"
And Mrs. Hopgood mutely bowed
her head.
Il will try" she answered.

The habits and character of a horse,
like those of man, are formed in the,

an easy matter to prevent, but a Sc
rious one to cure. Whipping
young animal for every real or fanci
ed ~olfense, is one CT the worst o.
practices, and yet it is almost uni
versally INDUCED in. | know q horse
that jumps every time the harness is
put on him. TIE man who "broke'
him hadn't common sense, and the
first time be threw the harness
on him, be did it just as he would
on an old horse, carelessly. The colt
was badly scared, and kicked, strik-
ing his owner on the leg. This en-
ragged him so that be beat him unmer-
cifully. That was five years ago,
and the horse has not forgotten it,
and never viii. The appearance OF
the harness thrown owe him Is insep-
arably connected with that outrage

Of care or counter-traiEing can over

first put on him.
Some men whip a horse whenever
he SHES. 1t never does any good
bat always works mischief 1t is
perfectly natural for a young colt to
shy at objects with which be is not
familiar. But let him shy; pay no
attention to il. He will soon get
over the habit, when'he finds that none
of these things hurt him. But whip
him the first few times be SHES and
the habit becomes confirmed, for he
will assuredIy associate the whipping
with the appearance of q stone, a
stump. a child, or any other object,
and will be continually on the alert
for something to be frightened at.
And it is just so with stumbling.
Whipping will not cure it. 1t is a
defect, and the remedy must be sought
in ascertaining what that defect is,
and removing it if possible.
The whip should never be used to
a horse forward on the road.
They speedily become used to it, and
will not go without it. 1t is just as
easy to train them to go at the word,
and nothing is so dete5tab!e as to see
a man urging a horse by continually
applying the whip.
These are only a few thoughts en-
this highly important subject, but
enough to indicate what ought to be
done, and what must be avoided. \
cool, calm judgemnt, perfect control
of ones self, absence Of cowardIy
timidity, respect for the animal,
knowledge of his character and dis

Nothing can be worse for a child
than to be frightened. The effect of
the scare it is slow to recover from;
it remains sometimes until maturity,
as is shown 10 many instances in
morbid sensitiveness. Not unfre-
quently, fear is employed as a means
of discipline. Children are controli,
ed by being made to believe that
something terrible will happen them
and punished by being shut up in a
dark room, or by being put in a place
they stand in dread OF. M one
without a vivid memory of his child
hood, can comprehend how entirely
cruel such things are. We have oft
heard grown persons tell of tie suf-
feriGg they have endured, as little
children under ike circumstances,
and 0 the %irreparable injury
which they have received. No pa
rent, no nurse, capable of alarming
the young is fitted for her position,
Children, as near as possible, should
be trained not TO show the sense Of
which above everything else is
to be feared in their education, early
or late.

The Rover Murder Triai-Yeund
0uiIty -GFavs Defect In the
yerdies.
wSSKMuocA, July 25.-In the Rover
trial, Hon. VIM. 8. Bonninsld. delivered
the charge TO the jury last night at $50.
Al 10 they returned q verdict Of guilty
as charged. Counsel failed TO request
that tho jury be charged a. 10 the form
Of the verdict, and nc degree being
specified, II is probable the defense will
move for arrest Of judgment or apply
for q new trial, which will likely be
granted Notwithstanding the excessively
hot weather. Tho courtroom Was
dsnssly crowded all day Saturday to
hear tho argument Of counsel. Much
feeling has existed In the community a.
to the supposed guilt Of Rover. or Nc
worthy's completely In tho murder.
To-day the brother Of the murdered
man said he did moi now believe that
Mcworthy had anything 10 do with II.
which will set al rest this accusation.
When the verdict was read Rover man.
ifestod no concern. and remarked that
Il reminded him Of the story Of the
IrishmAn's pig. Further consideration
Of the cass will take place tomorrow.
