You have been fearfully punished
already. And as God has seen proper
to preserve us both together, let us
hope it is for our present and future

A Difficult Drill.

AT the West Point military school the
cadets are taught to ride horseback, to
ride without stirrups, to jump hurdles,
to use the pistol and sabre while riding,
to 'cut heads to the right and left" and
other feats. The "heads" are leather
balls about four or FIVE inches in di.
ameter, which are placed on posts of
various heights. The trooper moving at
a rapid gallop must cut these heads rid
ing to the right and left, and also cut
heads resting on the ground, the last a
rather difficult. feat when done to the
left, compelling the rider to swing the
sabre over his bride hand and to reach
down from horse xteen hands high.
They also cut heads with the right and
left cut at the instant of jumping 8
hurdle. The most skillful maneuver is
the cutting Ct head upon the ground
between two hurdles placed about forty
feet apart, the trooper riding at full
speed and cutting to the right and left
in the interval between leaping the hur-
dies. The trooper is also taught to turn
his horse at full gallop in q circle four
yards in diameter. Most of these feats
are performed in the riding hall room
about 100 feet long by sixty-eight wide,
with tanbark floor. The parade
ground is about $50 yards long by 100
IN width. Seventy five horses are kept
in use, the stables accommodating about
100. The animals are cared for by a
detachment of regular soldiers pro-
vided for such service, the cadets being
too busy to perform this duty.

Shakespeare Translated,

A young lady in Yorkshire is in the
habit of reading Shakespeare for the
instruction of girls from the neighbor-
ing factories. In order to make GER
tain that they understand what she has
been reading, she sometimes stops IN
the middle of a scene and asks one of
the girls whether she is sure she quite
comprehends it. Lot long since she
was reading from the opening scenes
of Hamlet, and had come to the pas
sage in which the queen implores her
son to cast his nightly color OF, and
not keep always mourning for his
father.
"Are you sure" she asked of one of
the girls, that you quite understand
the meaning of this?"
"Eh, yes, miss" said the worthy
girl; "his mother thinks that he ought
to begin to 60 out to teas and such
like" This is as good as Christie John
stOne.-London Examiner.

A Mistake.

An old couple living in village not
far from Berlin anticipated certain
want, as many provident souls have
done, by purchasing q pair of coffins
keeping the cheerful reminders in a
stable, to serve as cupboards for the
storing of baked fruits and other winter
necessities. At least the old man died
and his eldest son, a soldier, quartered
at Berlin, was summoned home to the
funeral. The widow emptied one OF
the collins of its contents to make room
for the corpse, filling the other with
the elected comestibles. The day after
the funeral the soldier had to return to
his duty. The dame went to fetch
him some fruit, and on opening the
solitary coffin was startled and con-
founded at beholding her dead hus:
band. Somebody had blundered, and
the coffinful of good things had been
solemnly put under the turf, and every
thing had to be done over again

Putting on q Shirt Collar.

There was a collar and elbow wrest-
ling match" at the residence of our es-
teemed fellow-citizen, Seth Spicer, last
week, that gentleman having under
taken to fasten AZ collar on Is
shirt band. The first bout was short
and sharp. Spicer came up to the
dressing glass smiling, fastened two
buttons, clutched himself by the back
of the neck and tried to drag the third
buttonhole over his neck stud, when
the top of his right thumbnail gave
way, he rammed his fist into his clean
shirt bosom, trod on the baby's Christ
mas dog and smashed the bark out of
it, barked his shin against the bureau,
and blasted the offending furnishing
goods earnestly.
Mrs. S. here remarked that he
"need not use such dreadful language,
with the children in the next room. /
never saw a man that had bit of pa
tience," continued Mrs. Spicer, rs she
