TIE BACK SIDE OF IIorsES--Take the
prcttiest and best village. and we doubt if
:, tenth part of even the most pretentious
mansions and the most ornate cottage Will
bear examination in the rear. Instead of
bein~ nicely finished in all their pretty do
meStic details and convcnienccs. and kept
-nur and trim. with trim grass plots. with
all the subordinate avenues and garden
approaches well yrtvclled. cleanly swept
ana free from refuse. and everything
wholesome and orderly. there is apt to be
a look of general untiiine>>. rs if all the
residual rubbish Of wears had been dumped
therein. Not unfrequentlv a railroad runs
its track in such a manner a. 10 expose the

thill, and wrecked wheels. 10 the ghost of
the baby carriage which survives two gen

An INCIDENT OF WEESTEK--Mr. Web
ster was fond of practical Joke. but only
harmless one. and generally a benevolent
one. He had in Northiield, across the river
from his Franklin farm, a small piece OF
sandy, barren land. with a poor house up
on it, in which 4 very destitute family
had been living without paying any rent
I-pon one of his visits TO the place. the
GOOD woman expressed her anxiety about
being able to remain. She expected TO be
turned out. and didn't know where TO go:
She hoped Mr.. Webster would not be hard
with her. lie heard her through, and
told her with great gravity. that he knew
it was a hard case for her; he wished TO
consider her,and didn't wish to be unkind !;
but he has 4 great many to provide for
| At the same time putting his hand in his
pocket, he took out five dollar bill and
handed it to her saying he WAS very sorry
he could not do better by her. but if she
thought she could afford to stay on the
same place another year forthat. he should
he very glad, and rode Off
