Potatoes for Horses.

Noarly every winter, when 1 have
my horses in stable, think ] will call
the attention of your readers to the
practice of feeding potatoes to their
horses. l once came very near losing
a very valuable horse from feeding dry
hay and oats without loosening. l have
never believed in dosing a horse with
medicine. but something is absolutely
necessary to keep horse in the right
condition. Many use Iowders, but DO.
tatoes are better, and safer, and cheap
er, if fed judiciously. Ii those who
are not in the habit of feeding potatoes
to horses will try them, they will be as
tOnished at the result. l have known
a nurse changed from a lazy, dumpish
one TO quick, active, headstrong ami
NAL, in five days, by simply adding
two quarts of potatoes to his feeu daily.
If very much clear corn meal is fed
they do not need SO many potatoes.
Too many potatoes are weakening, and
so are too many apples. When 1 was
a lad | was away from home at school
one winter, and had the care of one
horse, one yoke of oxen, and one cow,
every one of which / had to card or
curry every day. The hoase had three
pals of water, four quarts of oats, two
quarts of small potatoes, and two
quarts of corn extra every day he
worked, with what hay he wanted,
and stronger and more active horse
of his inches l have never yet seen.-

Origin OF the Term Brother
Jonathan.

The story of the origin of the above
term, as related many years ago, to the
editor Of the Norwich Courier, by a
Gentleman over eighty years of age,
Who Was an active participation in the
genes of the Revolution, is as follows
"When General Washington, after
Heing appointed commander of the
Revolutionary War, came to Massa-
cnusetts to organize it and make prep
'rariOns for the defense of the country,
he found great want of ammunition
tnd other means necessary to meet the
powerful foe he had TO contend with,
and great difficulty to Obtain them. Ii
attacked i'll such condition, the cause at
once might be hopeless. On one occa.
lion, at that anxious period, consul.
tation of the officers and others Was
held, where it seemed no way could be
devised to make such preparations as
was necessary. his Excellency iona.
than Trumbull, the elder, was then
Governor of the State of Connecticut,
~ whose judgment and aid the Gener.
al placed the greatest reliance, and re.
marked, we must consult BrOthe,
Jonathan on the subject The General
did so, and the Governor was success,
ful in supplying many of the wants o
the army. When difficulties afterward.
arose, and the army Was spread ovel
the country it became by-word, 'We
must consult Brother Jonathan The
term Yankee is still applied to a por
ton, but Brother Jonathan has now
become a designation OF the whule
country, as John Bull has for Eng
land"

refer him TO US, if necessary, for an ex-
plantation"
Reuben said he would do so, and
turned toward the officer near the gate.
Now let US see what is in thai
smlthy," one of the dectives said, ano
grasping their revOlvers in the pockets
OF their overcOats, they moved in ths
the direction indicated. AS they reach
ed the door they heard a crash, snd
saw the figure of man passing through
the roof near the chimney.
"Round there and watch the out.
side," said one of the officers as he
spra1g into the smithy. But the man
had disappeared, and rushing forth the
officer was just in time to see the fugi-
tive spring from the roof. As he reach
ed the ground he fell, and before he
could rise the grip OF both detectives
was upon him.
He was sec1red.in a moment, and
proved to be the man they wanted.
He WAS tried at the Carlisle Assizes
in April last, and convicted by over.
vhelmilg evidence. Before the time
for his execution arrived, he wrenched
apart one of the bars of his cell doer,
and with the Jagged edge inflicted q
terrible wound on his throat, from the
effect of which he died in few hours.
By what means he induced Kate
Coulter to quit the house with him OF
the fatal night and accompany him t.
the Black Tarn remains a mystery. II
is probable, however, that the girl had
some lingering regard for her former
lover, and wa, led out of pure goOdnes.
OF heart to grant him an interview
Why he removed her clothing can only
be guessed. The Tarn was frozen over,
and here and there holes had been
made for the fish. Through one ol
these holes the murderer must have
forced the body, and finding that the
clothes, which were wooden, stuck to
the ice and preventee the body from
going under, the supposition is that he
stripped the corpse and concealed the
apdarel where it was subsequently,

some features of interest. In place ol

THE AUTUMN RAIN.
BIZ MARIE LIE BARON.

Down falls the autumn rain,
Harp strings against the fame
Of Ebon night
Flow, flow, flow, flow.
In steady flight
The sounds awake and fly,
Awake and multiply
Now fast, now slow.
Wet shadows stalk the earth,
Winds roar in riotous mirth-
Rush, rush, rush, rush.
The poplar bends and sways,
The rain weeps and it prays;
One hour winds hush.
The oak means and harsh creaks,
The red-scarred maple speaks
Blow, blow, blow, blow.
The vine against the wall
Clings close, boughs break and fall,
The blossoms go.
Leaves droop, and fold on fold
Like little waves are rolled
Fall, fall, fall, fall.
Grass bends like dagger blades,
Broke rushes in the glades
Together matted crawl.
Swallow in chimney steep
Blown from his soOty sleep
Drip, drip, drip, drip:
Cat at the hearth-stOne lies,
Bird tween him and the skies,
His cup at cruel lip.
The window-curtain slowly stirs,
Weather-cock without sharp whlrrs-
Rain is falling faster.
Around the house, up rugged street,.
Demons of the night storm sweep;
Earth hath found its master.
Flow, flow, flow, flow.
A thousand pools are brimming
The autumn harpis hymning
Melodions strains and slow.
1t dies away at break of day;
The world Is wet and cold and pale,
And tells dreary winters tale.

POETRY.
what Is Life.

A little crib beside the bed,
A little face above the spread,
A little frock behin1 the door,
A little shoe upon the floor.
A little lad with dark brown hair,
A little blue eyed face and fair,
A little lane that leads to school,
A little pencil, slate and rule.
A little blithsome, winsome maid,
A little hand within is laid;
A little cottage, acres four,
A little old-time household store;
A little family gathered round;
A little turf f-heaped, tear-dewed mound
A little added to his soul;
A little rest from hardest toll.
A little silver in his hair,
A little stool, and easy cnair;
A little night of earth lit gloom;
A little cortege to the tomb.
