NOW TuERAVEN BECAME BLACK.
\ Lesson 20 Tale Hearers.

ny JOHN C. SAKE.
There's a clever classic story,
Such as poets use to write
lyon NAV find the tale in Ovid)
That the raven once was white
White as wonder swan sailing
At this moment in the moat,
Till the bird, for misbehavior,
Lost. one day, his snowy coat
Craven white" was once the saving.
Till an accident, alackl
Spoiled its meaning. and thereafter
- 1t was chan ged to Raven black.
Shall ] tell you how it happened
That the change was brought about
List the story of the CrOnis,
And you'll find the secret out.
Young Cronis, faircst maiden,
OF Thessalia's girlish train,
Whom Apollo loved and courted,
Loved and courted all in vain.
Flirted with another lover,
$50, at least, the story gocs
And was wont to meet him slyly
Underneath the blushing rose.
Whereupon the bird of plPbus,
Who their meeting CHANGED to view
Went in haste To his master
Went and told him all he knew:
Told him how his dear Cronis,
False and faithless a. could he,
Plainly loved another fellow
If he doubted come and see!
Whereupon. Apollo, angry
Thus to find himself betrayed,
With his silver bow aud arrow
Went and shot the wretched maid!
Now, when he preceived her dying,
He was stricken to the heart,
And to stop her mortal bleeding,
Tried his famous healing art!
But in vain the god of physic
Had no antidote; alack
He took her Oft so deity,
Couldn't bring the maiden back!
Angry with hia,self Apollo.
Yet more angry With his bird,
For moment stood iu silence
lmpotent to speak a word.
Then he turnel upon the Raven,
"Wanton babhler, see thy fate 4;
Messenger of mine no longer,
Go TO IIadcs with thy prate-
"Weary Pluto with thy tattle;
llithcr, monster, come not back;
And-to match thy disposition
IIenceiorth he thy pIumage black !!
MORAL.
When You're tempted to make mischief
Ii il wiscst TO refuse;
People are not apt TO fancy
Bearers of unwelcomc news
SECOND MORAL.
Something ofthe pitch you handle
On your fingers will remain;
As the Ravens tale of darkness
Gave the bird lasting stain

The Globe Democrat has this to say
about that fall of flesh: "The recent
shower of flesh in Bath county KY,
has provoked quite a religious revival
among the cOlored population there.
They seat themselves about in little
groups, with their faces turned up.

From Horse Branch,
Horse BRANCH, April

Horse Branch, April 10th.
Mr.. EDITOR Until recently, this
beautiful and business point, or X. Il.
Station, has not been noticed in public
print. Horse Branch is situated in a
beautiful little valley, thirteen miles
below Caneyville, and three miles
above a little station called ROsine. 1t
contains a large, cOmmOdiOus freight
and passenger depot, telegraph office,
one store, and one large new tobacco
warehouse, recently erected by our
old and much respected citizen, Mr..
Make Miller.
Mr.. Ford, one of our energetic bus
mess men, and granger farmers, has a
very large tobacco BARN on his farm,
one and half miles back of the station,
and will prize for the Planters this
year about 10000 pounds of tobacco,
equal to 100 hOgsheads, which
with the addition of other prizers,
Messrs. Isaac AxtOn, Van Rains and
James Axton, who are also prizing,
will make the shipment from this point
this season, somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 200 to $50 hogsheads of the
weed, equal to about 375, 900 pounds.
Mr.. Ford, 1 am credibly informed,
contemplates erecting large eommo-
dious tobacco prizing house immediate
ly at the STATEN, with all the modern
arrangements for handling and prizing
tobacco. The house will be 80 feet
long by so feet wide, capable of hold
ing 1000 bogsheads.
Our farmers are energetic and indus
triOus. The health of the community
is good, and the morality is second to
none in Kentucky. With all these adj
vantages nothing can prevent Horse
Branch from being one of the'mOst en-
terprising and business points on the
l.. & p. r. II. Look, for instance, al
the amount of business done at Spring
Lick. The neighbOring farmers anG
railroad company should forever fee
under obligations to those two energet
ic and thorough business gentlemen
FOnsO and Martin Rowe. remember
when they first started there, compar
atively in the woods. Through thei
unbounded energy and industry, the
thriving little town owes its origin
So will this place grow, through th'
enterprise of such men as Joseph Ford
Millers, AxtOns, Christians, and hos
ofenergetic farmers, too tedious to men
ton.
| Mr.. Jas. Axton has been, and is We
confined to his house with an attack o
the measels, but is now convalescent
he report of his sickness being tn
smcll pox, 1 am happy to state,
false. NJ. John D. Miller, with tn
other members OF Mr.. Ax:on's family
is also down with the same disease.
L shall occasionally drop your vaiG
able and much appreciated paper few
casual notes. Yours,
BUCKEYE.

A Daughters Duty.

Daughters, be careful of a mother.
You will never have another friend
who will be all that she is to you.
All these weary years she has tOiled
for YOU, borne the burden of sorrow,
endured heartaches, and spent many
an anxious hour watching beside your
pathway lest you should go astray.-
Before you lose her, take care that she
have recOmpense for her self-sacrifce.
With loving and tender thoughtful
ness, aid her in the household labOrs,
and tighten, in the thousand and one
ways which your heart will direct, the
manifold cares devolving upon her,
who, with such brave nobility Of soul,
lays all her energies, affection, and
possibly, ambitious dreams of fame,
upon the alter of home.

HARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY, APRIL u,

We VIII try you once more, ana give
YOU another halfdozen shirts. If they
are done better You will be paid for
them"
To the Indignation of the clerk, who
was not used to such independence in
the poor woman who worked for the
establishment, Miss Vernon took the
shirts to another part of the counter,
where she saw William WinsOr him>
self.
"Mr. Winsor," ''your clerk will
not pay me for these shirts, he says
they are not well done
Mr.. Winsor took one up and pre-
tended to examine it.
"No, its poorly done. We can't
pay for these, but you may have am
other bundle, and if they are satisfac>
tory, you will then be paid.
Didn't l tell you so?" said the clerk
triumphantly. ''Now, how much did
gain by that operation"
"More than you think, perhaps"
said Miss Vernon, quietly.
"Do you want any more work.
"No, | don't wish any she said,
coldly."
"You arc on a high horse, are you?
Well, you may be glad to get work
some day when you cant have it."
The evening was one which William
Winsor usually spent with his bctrOth-
ed. When he was announced he
went forward warmly, rs usual, to
greet Miss Vernon. She drew back
coldly and did not offer her hand to
grasp his.
"What is the matter, Margaret" he
asked, surprised and startled.
MY hand has taken yours for the
last time, Mr.. Winsor," said Marga
ret.
Good heavens! what is the mean
ing of all this? / cannot understand
it."
81 cannot take the hand of one who
grows rich by defrauding poor wOmer
out of their scanty earnings"
"WhO says this of me? Some ont
has been slandering me. Confront
me with my accused. There is some
mistake here"
81 Will do as you desire. Wait five
minutes
Miss Vernon let the room and soor

to Miss Vermont" he demanded.
81 told her the truth
The young man reflected. Violent
contradictions he saw would not avail
him, he would try another course.
"Hark you," he said, in low voice
"there was a mistake. will make il

dollars on the spot, and all the WORK

Miss Vernon it was all mistake"
"ToO late, Mr. Winsor" said the
yelled figure, throwing up her veil ant

Confused and astonished, William

ADVERTISING RATES.
The AUfIni Fate or i:ze Man who
Advertised.

His name was HippOilam. His I'M
Gle left him some money, and he start>
ed in the grocery and provision busS
ness. Then canvassers came around
there from the daily papers and said he
had the best locality in town, the incest
stock, and all that, and then went bang
at him for an advertisement. He had
read in the papers that John Jacob As
tor, A. t. Stewart, John Smith, Dan
iel Pratt, and hosts of Others had once
been poor, and had made their start
by advertising. He believed it all,
dough-headed that he was, and he adj
vertised four squares in the BSdger,
halfa column in the WOOnshine and
slipped five dollar bill to the report
ers and told them to say a good word
for him.
The reporters did, and when people
saw from the advertisement that Hip
poham had started into business with
fresh, large stock, they rushed for his
store. Then his troubles commenced
He had to hire an extra clerk and cash
boy. He couldn't find time to sitdOwn
on a candle box, thrust his feet upon
the stove and gossip about politics and,
the trial of Babcock. Every day OF
two he had to write or telegraph for
new goods, ordering more coffee, tea,
sugar, or spice, and when the goods
came he had to open them and retail
them out.
As day after day went by people be-
gan to notice that HippoAam was
growing thin and pale. He looked
care-wOrn and harrassed, as if driven
He kept advertising, and people kept
patronizing him. Other grOcers could.
get time to go off on excursions, and to
sit down for hours at a time and play
checkers and dominOes, but HippOham.
could not get an hour to HIMSELF ex-
cept time to sleep. BY and by he had
to open an account with yet another
bank, get more clerks and cash boys /;
and it came about that he kept AGAR
rage, built a fine house, wore broad
cloth and was elected Mayor of the
town.
OF course man couldn't go on in
this way many years without breaking
down in health, and the day came at
last when HipPoham had the dyspepsia,
rheumatism and several other COM
plants. The shadows of death hung
over him, while the grOcers that ha6n't
advertised all grew fat and pOrtIy,
E and had double chins on 'em. They
had time to go fishing, were never tired
out looking over their bank accounts,
and it wasn't once a year that they had
to order anything more than box Of
herrings.
Broken down IN health, feeling mad
at the whole world, and finding him.
seiffS victim of the newspapers. Hippo
fam one day drew all his money out
of the bank, passed it over to lunatic
asylum, set his store on FIRE, blew up
his mansion with keg Ofpowder, and
then hanged himself to a peach tree in
the back yard.
The eorOners cut him down, the jury
sat on him and the verdict was "Af-
vertising killed him, and We hereby
warn all business men to let his fate be
an awful example against Patronizing
newspapers"

A RICH DIsH.-One of the earliest
Ministers to this country from
France brought with him an expert
enced French cook, and when the
former returned home the latter per-
sonage remained in Washington,
where he became eminent as cater
err for the public. And this man had
a daughter. About the same period
in our fashionable history an Eng
fish Minister brought with him a
very capable servant, and when that
Minister departed he established his
young friend in the grocery bust
ness. Anon he saw and fell in love
with the cocks daughter aforesaid,
and they were married, and that
cooks daughter is to-day one of the
successful leaders of fashionable life
in the Metropolis, living in style,

THEY NEVER Do.-Trials never
come singly. It was only last week
that we learned that the coal supply
would be exhausted in little over
100000 years, and now news comes
that the planet Vulcan is lost. We
can hardly think any one would be
so mean as to steal Vulcan, but the
nights have been dark lately, and
there are good many tramps about.
If Vulcan has fallen in the hands of
an honest person, it will probably be
returned ; but perhaps the best way
would be to offer liberal reward and
no question asked. Norwich Pc

Glass Eyes.

A novel exhibit in the German
section of the Exposition main build
ing is large collection Of artificial
eyes, representing all sizes and
shapes, from the pale blue to the
black and gray. A careful examina-
ton fails 10 discover any that are
green thus setting at rest forever
the conundrum, "Do you see any
green in my eye?' For it follows if
there are any green eyes among the
people they would have found their
counterpart in the artificial. Judg-
ing from the large stock of eyes on
exhibition, the business must be
good one in the old world. Taking
it for granted that one person in
every 5000 in the Centennial is the
possessor of glass eye, the number
thus far would amount to an army of
about 1000.
The eyes on exhibition are gotten
up in new style, and could hardly be
distinguished from the original when
placed in the socket, were it not that
they keep up continual stare. They
are made up of light, durable
material, and considerable skill has
been exemplified in the preparation,
Eyes are divided into quite number
of classes, and among them are
laughing eyes. These generally con
sist of light blue iris seem to dance
around in the aqueous fluid. Their
there are languid eyes. piercing eyes
dull, heaving-looing eyes, and brigh
sparkling eyes, all of which hav'
their counterpart in the human race
AS mere piece of mechanism
the world nowhere furnishes such
BEAUTIFUL aud complex piece Of ma
! chinery in so small space as tn
human eye, and as an optical instrr
ment it is perfect beyond imitation
1t it bad enough when an individu'
loses both of these instruments bt
there is comfort in the fact that whe
J one is gone, the hand of the opticia
. has made another, which, while
e cannot give sight, yet it can help r
n store marred beauty.
