you'd hardly believe now what
l am going to tell. In Texas we
use rawhide straps or thongs, for
traces, and in wet weather they do
stretch amazingly. Why, often in
wet weather at home I've hitched
up two horses and drove them down
the hill from my house into the
creek bottom for a load of wood.
l have loaded the wood and many
times driven back home and un
hitched the horses and the sled
would not be in sight" How did
you get the wood home, then?" ask
ed an inquisitiye bystander. ''Oh,
l just tied the ends of the traces to-
gether, and threw them over a
post, went knocking about my work
and waited till the sun shone out.
Sometimes it would be more than
two hours before the sled load of
wood would get home, but you
would see her crawling up the hill at
last, gradually approaching as the
rawhide traces shrunk up to their
proper lengths"

1t is wonderful to what an extent
people believe happiness depends
on not being obliged to labor. Hon
est, hearty contented labor is the
only source of happiness, as well as
the only guaranty of life. The

great destroyer of happiness we
might have, but it tends to destroy
life itself. Idleness and luxury in

Counsels to the Young.

There are no habits so injurious
to the young as that of speaking
falsely, disparagiEg others. and us
ing profane language. Habits ac-
quired in youth are difficult OF
change in maturer life.
The vices named faint reputation,
make enemies and mar prosperity.
No one given to falsehood and mis-
representation, can secure the good
will and respect of his acquaint-
ances. He loses their confidence
makes them avoid his presence, and
isolates himself from the pure and
the good.

WINE TO BE FURNISHED AT THE
BOSTON BANQUET TO BE GIVEN
TO PRESIDENT HAYES.

The Mayor of Boston, MI. Prince,
when called on by q delegation of wo-
men headed by Mrs. Livermore, with
the request that wine should not be
furnished at the banquet to be given
by Boston in honor of President Hayes,
made the following reply:
I have been studying the subject for
thirty years, and know that the desire
of the prOhibitionistS cannot be accom-
plished, for the reason that it is not
right that it should be. Iapprove Of a
moderate use of wine and liquor, and
as the Executive of the city Of Boston |
have a duty to perform at the coming
banquet and on similar occasions. The
city of Boston desires that every cOur-
tesy shall be extended to the President,
and am determined that nothing shall
be left undone which should contribute
to the proper festivities of a banquet.
1t is customary on similar occasions to
furnish wine, and ] shall certainly do
so in this instance.
LllG NCll AIlOWu UOUdI tODOtLIiCllCC
principles of the President rendered the
request of Mrs. Livermore a reasona-
BILE one, and the Mayor might have
complied with it without any discour-
tesy to the President. Surely it is not
a courtesy to the President OF any one
else to furnish wine at q banquet given
i'll his honor when he disapproves OF
the use Of wine at banquets and at all
times. The Mayor of Boston, knowing
the Presidents temperance principles
and practice and the fact Of his not
furnishing wine at dinners at the White
House will be discourteous to the Pres
ident in furnishing wine at a banquet
to be given him.

LETTER.
New YORK, June 18th, 1877.
!: i: !; i: *

Bribery in our prisons is another
salient feature Of the passing hour.
There is no question at all but that
Connors, the celebrated Northampton
bank robber, who was being held in
Ludlow Street Jail for extradition,
was allowed to escape. The very
prompt discharge of the Deputy
Warden and the Doorkeeper shows
that the Sheriff thinks so, anyhow.
He had very severe lesson in the case
of Tweed, and he must shudder at the
lidea of it's repetition. Poor Tweed! it
is scarcely probable that he will live
to see his limbs thoroughly freed Of
the gives which now encircle them.
He sits in that pleasant room of his,
and looks gloOmily out upon the
courtyard, wondering why Attorney
General Fairchild said so CURLY that
he would have nothing more to do
with the distinguished prisoner. His
case is deplorable one. The LAWYERS
have bled him to the tune of nearly
half q million of dollars, and, if any
thing, he is more in the mire than ever.
It is certain that he is very much in
that Marshalsea Of ours, Ludlow Street
Jail.
In the meantime, Prince Harry
Genet, another ring robber, who escap-
ed from his palace in Harlem. and
taught Tweed how to do it, visits the
city at rare and secret intervals.
Sweeny is free. Connolly looks visit
fully from English shores, longing to
once more tread beautiful Broadway.
Every one who has seen any Of the
! ring fugitives abroad, described their
condition as being one Of extreme an
guish. Surrounded by luxury, they
are still haunted by dreams Of the city
they defowered. All this goes to
prove that New York is a very good
place to come back to;
The Board Of Health Of the city of
Brooklyn and the Board of Health of
the city of New York are still at dag
i gers drawn, and all about the swirl
milk. New York, or rather Bergh
who is New York in this respect. saws
that there are diseased COWS over the
|river, and Brooklyn intimates that she
will be only too happy to make a
present to any one who will show hel
an lndisposed animal of the kline breed
In the meantime we smile grimly, AND
when we take our milk or our choco
late and milk at the Vienna Bakery
or at our breakfast tables. we shut
our eyes.
