IRISH ROSIE.
BY SHIRLEY BROWNE.

"And isn't a word you have to say
to me, Rosie, darlint 2"
A slight, trim figure, in a coarse
print dress, tawny golden hair escap'
ing from behind q jaunty little hat,
and pair Of the most mlschlevlous'
roguish eyes that ever sparkled be
meath long lashcs--.hat was what Ter
ry Bryan had been watching for the
last five minutes.
lie stood on the tiny bridge, halt
hidden by the ,augle of vines and
dropping branches-Rosie Regan was
driving her poultry home across the
fiat green meadow-and each IVES
electrically conscious of the presence
of the other AT his words she turn
ed. with little coquettish exclama,
tion Of surprise :
as it you, Terry?'
"NIe, is it, darlint ? Au' who else
should 1t be? Rosie, come here.
Leave the geese be, alanna. Sure, it's
they thatll find their way home by
themselves, an the sun low down in
the west.
She came with slow footsteps, twist
ing up the hair Of tawny gold as she
came, and shyly eyelng the bundle
that Terry carried over his shoulder.
"And you're really going to Amer
lea, Terry p
"Really and truly, Rosie. Isn't it
the only country on the face of the
globe tor man to 60 to p
Rosie did not answer She sat
down OH the bridge, and began to
fling pebbles at the floating lily-pIds
below.
"You Il come, too, Rosie be added,
pleadingly, "when / send for YOU
when I've made my fortune, dear, and
have got a little hearth-stone of my
own to welcome you to p
Rosie laughed, her dimpled face
still averted.
'Isu't it maxim pretty sure you are,
Master Terry, that girl will follow
YOU across the Atlantic at the crook
OF your finger 7" retorted she
"Im in dead earnest, Rosie.
"Aud so am !, Terry. There's
grandfather to think of, and Aunt
Dora, and Con Dillaye, that's building
the new stone farmhouse under the
hill, just for me to live in"
"For you, Rosie 7"
That's what he says, anyhow !
Rosie was leaning intenly over to
watch tiny gold -streaked fish that
had darted across a sunlighted pool OF
water into the shade.
"If that's the case" said Terry,
turning and balancing the bundle
across his shoulder with more energy,
II may as well be goin' !?
"You should have thought of that
before you stopped me with my
geese" retorted Rosie. "ls it to.

"To-nIght !"

From the Golden Rule,
Shoelng tho Horse,

The world Of horse owners aud
horse owners aud horse shotrs Is very
slow in learning the great mischief
aud evil that Is done IN cutting and
filing away the frog, sole, aud bars Of
the horses loot, by the retention oi
which, IN q natural state, the foot can
be kept either strong or healthy No
form Of shoe eau DO 80 vicious as 10
do such mischief aud injury to tho
foot as the present pairing aud cutting
system nor eau any shoe be 30 good
IN It's conformation aS to remedy those
ills that knife aud butlress have occa
stoned,
The truth IL, We should do little or
nothing TO the horses loot, save to
level il for the reception OF the shoe,
Nature, it should be remembered,
works after q perfect model, and the
perfect cannot he improved by any as
sis,ance from us. We're it not Tor the
fact that our roads are too hard Tor the
loo, to endure service on them unpro-
tected, it were well not TO shoe at all
aud, il we must shoe, shoe only 50
much as is absolutely necessary. The
crescent shoe, or "tips" as they ale
commonly called, will during the sum
mer months be sufficient Tor country
service. These tips are thin, narrow
plates of iron or steel, Of some three
ounces in weight, shaped to fit the too
of the foot, and to reach round little
on either side.
The object of these tips Is simply to
protect the front portion Of the foot
nom being too rapidly worn away.
They leave the quarters, sole, irog,
bars and heels entirely unprotected,
save as Nature provides. They are
2 most excellent form of OF shoe. We
speak from experience, and not from
theory alona-havlug used horses OF
eleven hundred pounds weight, IN
teamwork and ordinary family service,
on the road, for months together, with
no protection to their feet save these
tips, and found that their feet, which
at the beginning of the experiment,
were IL a most unsatisfactory condl-
ton, grew strong and well ahd we
recommend this form Of shoelng to
all readers whose horses are exercised
or worked in the country.
1t is astonishing how fast the foot
will develop and increase when once
brought in contact with the ground.
Take off those high heeled shoes from
your horse, friend, which you have
caused to be put on him in order to
keep his frog from the ground, and let
it come in contact with the ground at
every step. For few days, or even
for few weeks, your horse may favor
himself somewhat but Nature will
soon accommodate herself to the enew
liberty granted her =; namely, the lib
erty of helping herself. She will soon
build up u frog such as you never saw
in your life, most likely.--a large,
overlapping PAD of gutia-percha like
Substance, wide and thick, that teelS
no more the concusson, when brought
in contact with the stone pavement,
than the buffer under rail car teeis
the jo'ts as the train is being whirled
along.

Which each ono has to learn
Each ahuhles, cuts aud deals the pack,
And each q trump does turn,
Some turn high card to tho top,
While others turn low,
Some hold hand quite flush with tfumPa,
While othere none can show,
When hearts arc irumpa we play for love.
And pleasure decks tho hour;
No thought Of sorrow checks cur Joys
In handsome rosy bowers
When diamonds chance to crown the pack,
It's then mon stake their gold
Largo sums arc often loat and won

When clubs arc trumps look out for war,
On ocean or on land,
For bloody deeds are often done
When clubs are In tho hand.

''The cabinet? Oh, that's mystery" said
Hermann. II can go in it. and you can lock

Somebody in the party said something
about that being ''too thin
''Lock the door," said Hermann, as he
stepped into the cabinet. The door was
locked on the outside.
"Now you can open it," said voice
within.
The door was opened; the cabinet was
empty.
''Let me show you my dog" said the ma
gician; ''he's the boy that makes my money.
Here, Minty."
A little black dog ran up, and Hermann
put silver quarter in the dogs mouth. The
dog chewed it, and looked as if he meant to
swallow it.
''Spit it out, sir, said Hermann.
The dog dropped from his mouth as bright
and shining 500 gold piece as ever came
out of the mint. Hermann had not been
near him after giving him the quarter.
After saying that America is great coun-
try, and that the air is full of money, Her.

coin, a trade dollar, into double eagle, and
retired to the mysteries of his trade.
