A RACE FOR LIFE.-A curious and
distressing case has recently been under
the consideration of the police at Mos
COW. A few months ago a Russian
peasant. with his wife and four children,
we're travelling in a sleigh along the
banks of the Prutb, when they we're
pursued by a pack Of wolves. The
peasant urged ou the horses as much as
be could, but soon perceived the horri-
bic fact that the wolves we're fast gain
ing upon them. At the moment when
the sleigh was surrounded By the raven
ing beasts, the man seized one Of the
children, threw il in the midst Of them,
and while the wolves were struggling
over their prey be FASTENED on his
horses aud gained ground. -Four times
the wolves came up with the fugitives
and four times the horrible sacrifice
was completed At last the peasant
and his wife arrived al the nearest vii
lage, leaving behind them the bones Of
their four children In the bitterness
Of her despair the mother informed
against her husband, but the judges,
considering that if the r asant had moi
resigned himself 10 the horrible sacri
fee he would not only have lost his
children, but also his wife, acquitted
the prisoner London Echo.

VALUE OF FRUIT AS FooD.-At a
convention offruit growers Of Ohio, Mr..
Batemaa, the well-known horticultural.
ist, said that farmers and others, espe-
cially those having families of children,
would find great advantage in the mat
ter Of health BY using fruit as a part Of
every meal at all times of the year. Mr..
,. said be had tried this plan for many
years with large family and knew
from experience that nearly all the cases
Of arrangement of health by the use of
fruit in summer were attributable to its
irregular use. he also believed that a
more constant and plentiful use of fruit
would be found useful as preventative
Of the malarial fevers SO common in the
West. Farmers should grow more
kinds of summer fruits, 50 as to have a
constant succession for the table; more
grapes, where they can be grown, and
better varieties of apples in their orch
ards.

The English Garden, advocating the
growing Of apple trees for shrubbery,
says at is no more trouble to grow
an apple tree than it is an ash or lime
tree, and the apple, when in fruit, is
certainly far more attractive than either
Of these. and. when in bloom it is not
only Ornamental, but useful and valua-
bic, and if it pays the Americans to
grow apples for the English markets,
it would pay Englishmen. The best
varieties of apple trees to plant in
strawberries for ornament are the Haw-
thornden, the Emperor Alexander,
Lord sufield. Beauty of Kent. These
are all trees Of vigorous habit and fine
foliage, and produce large clusters of
bloom and bear abundant crops oflarge,
handsomely colOred fruit, which is un-
surpassed for culinary purposes"

the fowls. Mix teaspoonful Of Cayenne
pepper to two quarts Of feed. The fowls
win eat this mixture readily. His the

THE REAPERs.

The reapers bend their lusty backs
Their sounding sickles sway
At every stroke the golden sea
Recedes to give them way
The heavy ears fall bowing down,
And nestle at their feet.
Such viii, such work as theirs, perforce,
Must win-must homage meet.
So careless Of fatigue they go,
So true, so steadily,
The admiring traveller on the road
Leans FER the gate to see
With marvel of the soon-fallen breadth,
The lounging gossips tell
ButAhereapers labor for as all
tia need they should work well.
Ere the great sun that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
And the children's poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down to rest,
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer draiR a sparkling glass,
Rejoicing oer the yield.
Ply, bonny men, your sickles bright,
And give the people bread
At every conquering stride you take,
On want and woe you tread.
Drop, heavy ears, and the strength
You gathered from this plain,
That man may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaying plough,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy nov
They rear the bread our children eat
'Tis by their toll We live
Hurrah give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can give
