4 Friend in Need.

1t il generally known that thorough
bred and other wclI-brcd horses have tlci
attachments for stable companions cats
goats, dogs, and at times even for doncs
tIcatcd fowls, geese, ducks, etc, To II &c
they exhibit great partiaIity, and often n
marked affection. The following Incl,

is an illustration in point;
4 gentleman living in Norway, Maine,
owned n thoroughbred horse, which he
used for the saddle. lie also owned an
English coach dog IA handsome, faithful
animal between whom and the horse
there existed Il friendship strong and
hearty. The dogs bed at night was un-
der the horses mangcr, and they were
seldom apart. In fact, the dog at length,
would not leave the horse except he was
called away TO accompany his SINISTER, and
on such occasions the horse would very
freely and touchingIy manifest his rest
I]c.,ncss and unhappincss.
One day the horse was feeding upon a
back of the house, being tcNh-
cred by 4 sweep Of rope attached to his

4 Point for POstal-Card Scndcrs.

The postal laws prohibit any writing
upon Il newspaper or wrapper sent by
mail, unless prepaid with letter postage,
and restricts the writing on postal card,
to the back Of the same. A single word
is considered to be n violation Of these
regulations, and papers which over,
anxious people label cone paper" ON the
wrapper, to indicate the exact contents
thereof, are pretty sure to never reach
their destination. Tho other day a
Chicago firm received a postal card, for
which six cents additional postage was
charged, because on the lower left hand
corner Of the face was written "Scpt. 10,
1870" The postmaster general was APP
pcaIed to, and sent the following:
"Gcntlcmcn: In answer to your in

A BRUSSELS LOVE SToRY.-Thcrc is 4
pretty story in connection with the in,
production Of the manufacture Of fine
lace into Brussels. A poor young girl,

sat weeping, n lady entered her cottage,
and without saying a word, placed in her

she was able to marry the object of her

luxury with her numerous family about
her, she was startled by tho mysterious
lady entering her comfortable house

She said; "%llcrc you enjoy peace and

French Kid Gloves,

"Ncvcr do you believe" writes ono
soiourning in tho French capital, that
the English can make kid gloves equal
TO those w buy here. The Baroness
Burdett Coutts may give premiums for
the finest goats and kids, but it will be a
long time before English kid skins reach
the perfection which characterize those of
France, or that English fingers will ar
rive at the defines Of the clever French,
who use their needles in the manufacture
Of gloves. 1t takes the quick practiccd
eye of a Partisan woman of the mode, TO
instantly appraisc a kid glove, and tell
you its quality and value. The finest
kid gloves always keep their price, and
even here are expensive articles Of
toilette. Their making and finishing are
entrusted only 10 the best workmcn and
women. The unintiatcd are often de-
ccivcd, for not one third of the gloves
offered as kid, are really such. | thought
myself an excellent judge Of the article,
but imagine my modification when in II
c0tcrie Of French ladies, who were pro-
nouncing upon the toilette of a country
woman, M of them expressed her admi-
ration, adding,T'a all but the gloves |

in question, when an interruption pre-
vented this iDdiscrction. subsequently

its snugly fitting covering at my ignor-
ancc-that the beautiful gloves ! wore
were not goats kid, but a skin 50 closely
resembling it that it was difficult to tell
the difference, b.t difference there was.
The French goats skin is the finest in
the world. From its birth the animal is
the object of AS much care to its owner
~ u babe is to its mother. 1t is kept in
Il cage or coop, which is well aired and
cleaned, and Is fed on pure sweet milk
times a day. Every effortis made
to keep the skin fine grained, even and
flexible. While yet of tender age the
kid is killed and carefully skinned.
After preparation, this skin is delicate
and soft to remarkable degree, and is

thicker than tissue paper, and
when manufactured into gloves, they fit
with the c%losencss Of a second cuticle."
