Just Like Human Beings.

have often amused myself by watch
ing the inhabitants of farmyard, and
seeing how the cows have their laws of
precedence aud etiquette as clearly de-
fined as Shose of any European court.
Every cow knows her place and keeps
it; she will not condescend to take q
zower, and would not be allowed to take
higher. When n newly bought calf is
first introduced to the farmynrd, it is
treated just like new boy Mt school,
The previous inhabitants of the yard
come and inspect it contemptuously,
they decline its society, they crowd it
away from the hay-racks; and new.
conner i'll farmyard has about as much
chance of approaching the rack at feed
lng-tlme as new boy has of getting
near the fire on cold winter day
However, as time goes on, the young
calf increases in growth, and is allowed
to mix with her companions on tolerably
equal terms. Then, if younger animal
than herself be admitted, it is amusing
to see with what qualification she bullies
the newcomer, and how much higher
she seems to rank in her own estimation
when she is no longer the junior

nifty on every occasion. When the
cattle are taken out of the yard to their
pasture in the morning, end when they
return to it in the evening, she will not
allow any one except herself to take the
lead. / have heard of one instance
where the man in charge of the cows
would not allow the "ganger," as the
head COW is often called, to go out first.
The result was that she refused to 90
out at all; and, in order to get her out
of the yard, the man had to drive all the
other cows back again, so that she might
take her proper place at their head.

The Story Of a Conductor.

Conductors of trains are almost daily
annoyed by the presence in the cars of
individuals possessed neither of tickets
nor money, and who have to be put
ashore at the earliest opportunity. A
few days since the conductor of an east
ward bound train Oil the other side of the
Chill, says Sacramento paper, found
that he had a deadhead" of this class
among his passengers, and three differ
ent times stopped the train to put him
off. each time giving emphasis to the
matter by the application of his boot,
but it invariably happened that the un-
desirable passenger managed to get on
board about rs soon as the conductor.
The third time the conductor remained
ashore watching the chap until the train
had attained such headway that he felt
confident that the deadhead could not
get on-ip fact, he had to- spring in a
lively manner to accomplish it himself
but as soon as he got Strengthened upon
his feet he found the impecunious riding
along with the rest. Somewhat dis
couraged, the conductor turned to him
and inquired: Where in Diazes are you
going, anyway?" "WeA," said the
not-to-be-got-rid-of, "Tm' going to
Chicago, if my pants hold out, but If I'm
going to be kicked every five minutes I
don't believe I'll make the trip" The
conductor let him ride.

The Spare Bed.

When 60 to the country to visit my

before start, and shiver as I remem-

are. I put off the visit as long as posi-

don't like to tell them that had rather
sleep OH n picket fence than to enter that
spare room and creep into that spare
bed, and so they know nothing of my
sufferings.
The spare bed is always as near O mile
and a half from the rest of the beds as
it can be located. It's either up stairs
at. the head of the hall, or off in the
parlor. The parlor curtains have not
been raised for weeks; everything is as
prim as an old maids bonnet, and the
bed Is as square and tue rs if it had
been made up to carpenters rule.
No matter whether it be summer or
winter, the bed is like ice, and it sinks
down in way to make one shiver. The
sheets are slippery clean, the pillow
slips rustic like shrouds, and one dare
not stretch his leg down for fear of kick
ing against q tombstone.
One sinks down until he is lost in the
hollow, and foot by foot the prim bed
posts vanish from sight. He is worn out
and sleepy, but he knows that the rest
of the family are so far away that no one
could hear him if he should shout for an
hour, and this makes him nervous. He
wonders if any one ever died i'll that
room, and straightway he sees faces of
dead persons, hears strange noises, and
presently feels n chill galloping up and
down his back.
Did any one ever pass a comfortable
night in n spare bed! no matter how
many quilts and spreads covered him he
could not get warm, and if he acciden-
tally fell asleep it was to awake with a
start, under the impression that dead
man was pulling his nose. 1t will be
days and weeks before he recovers from
the impression, and yet he must suffer
in silence, because the spare bed was
assigned him in token of esteem and af-

A Wife's Rights.

Here is love story, not out of the
Decameron," but one of the modern
jurisprudential style: A rich New York
widower of fifty-two, who was about to
marry Young woman of twenty three,
in order to convince his daughters that
his young wife married himself and not
his $50, 900, made his estate over to his
daughters just before marriage, but
without informing his intended of the
love test. When she found it out, after
marriage, she showed how much she
thought of her husband 8 worldly goods,
as well as her husband, by going to law
to recover. And she did recover, the
court holding that dover being highly
favored in equity, as moral as well as
legal right, I" the inchoate rights of the
wife are as much entitled to protection
as the vested rights of the widow" and
that the deed executed before her mar
riage, under the facts and circumstances
of this case, should have no more effect
upon her rights and interests than il exc
cuted afterwards.

DESTROYING Wills.

There is very good reason to suspect,
the New York Times says, that numbers
of those persons who are supposed to die
intestate do not so die in fact. In too
many instances the will has been de-
stroyed. The temptation offered is too
strong to be resisted. There is bright
fire in the CRATE, and, standing beside it,
the fin1er of a will peruses clause after
clause only to discover that sum in
finitely less than he thinks his due has
been bequeathed to him. Let him drop
the document into the flames, and, under
the assumed intestacy, handsome slice
must be his. The solicitor may, indeed,
produce a duplicate, which can be en-
tered for probate, and the criminal may
thus find himself defeated. But what
then? The crime. at all events, cannot
be brought home to him. 1t was the
opinion of one of those most expert
enced in testamentary suits that this
offense is frequently perpetrated.

Nervous Excitement.

One dreadful form of nervous excite
ment very prevalent among all classes of
society is that which is commonly called
"dipsomania." A weak tendency to
drink becomes an insane tendency. We
are especially liable to it at the present
time, because 30 many of us ore over
wrought. Our actors, our orators, our
commercial men, can hardly keep up the
nervous energy required to 60 through
with their work, and 80 they take alco-
hol to get up the steam of the mind. We
believe If q man has to 90 through Ger
tain amount of bodily work he will do it
better If he takes little stimulant. In
cases of mental strain, the freer he keeps
from stimulant the better. Let him al
ways eat something when he drinks.
Let him drink as little stimulant as pos
sible as rule; let him substitute coffee
or cocoa for spirits and wine, and he
will be fresher for work and last out
be tier. The body is n tough machine,
but you must treat it fairly; and so of
the mind-it is usually tough enough,
but you can upset it. We beseech you,
workers, to watch yourselves, especially
i'll this matter of taking stimulants. But
what shall wesay of the pleasure makers2
Young people should enjoy themselves
if enjoyment comes innocently. But
what do we see constantly2 We see
young people whose susceptibilities are
keerly alive to everything that comes
from without, fresh and healthy young
girls of seventeen and eighteen, ut
parties and balls, who really require no
stimulant, or the least possible amount
"a little wine and water Mt most. Well,
these young girls drink champagne at
intervals, glass after glass; they do not
know how much they do drink. They
have not been cautioned. It is over
excitability; it is thoughtlessness. But
it is like throwing vitriol upon roses to
apply such an amount of stimulant to
young, healthy bodies, A little thought
would constantly set all this right.

Do Not Worry About Yourself.

To retain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from all anxiety con-
corning disease. The mind has power
over, the body, for person to think he
has disease will often produce that
disease. This we see effected when the
mind is intensely concentrated OH the
disease of another. It is found in the
hospitals hat surgeons and physicians
who make II specially of certain diseases
are liable to die of them themselves;
and the mental strain is so great that
sometimes people die of diseases which
they have only in imagination. We
have seen n person sea-sick in anticipa-
tlon of voyage, ere reaching the vessel.
We have known persons to die of an
imaginary cancer in the stomach, when
they had no cancer or any other mortal
disease. A blindfolded man, slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and
died from believing that he was bleeding
to death. Therefore, well persons, to re-
main so, should be cheerful and happy,
and sick persons should have their at
tention diverted rs much as possible
from themselves. 1t is by their faith
faith they die. AS man thinketh so is
he. If he wills not to die he can often
live i'll spite of disease, and if he has lit
tie or no attachment to life he will slip
away as easily as a child will fall asleep.
Men live by their souls and not by their
bodies. Their bodies have no life of
themselves, they are only reccptacles of
hfe-tenements for their souls, and the
will has much to do in containing the
physical occupancy OF giving it up.

How I'LOSt NV Heart.

To tell you just how 1 lost it,
Oh, that were difficult task;
How the thing got away on that autumn day
never stopped to ask.
Perhaps twas glance that did it.
A soft csress to my hair,
A close warm grasp or q gentle clasp,
That captured it then and there.
You see, there arc things you can govern,
But hearts have a way Of their own;
Like birds they fly, and you can't tell why
You only miss them when gone.
Aud why don't tell the story
III tho reason you really must learn,
Is, though life grew bright with rosy light,
-, Yet won no heart in return.
Somebody's eyes were gentle and kind,
And his voice WAS soft and low
But the heart wanted was given away
Ever 30 long ago.
And 80 while Tsolace lonely life
With cat and a cup Of tea,
Somebody's arm is round his wife
And her baby is on his knee.
And tile loss / met with results in this,
That mine is q lonely part
You can't for your life make loving wife,
or q woman without a heart.
Another head rests on the manly breast
That wanted to shelter me;
Some other fair face has won my place,
So no mans wife I'll be.
But compensation's law Of life,
And though trials the gods will send,
I've no one to scold when his beefsteak's cold,
And no small stockings to mend
So that the love that is lost never regret,
When think what my troubles might be
When dinner is late smilo at fate,
And nobody storms at me.
