THAT MULE.

The mule stood OF The steamers deck,
10 land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him DER the head.
Yet firm and steadfast there he stood,
As though formed TO rule;
A critter OF heroic blood
Was that there cussed mule.
They cussed and swore-he would not 20
Until he ielt inclined;
And though they showered blow on blow
He wouldn't change his mind.
The deck hand to the shore then cried:
This here's bound 20 stay
And still upon tho critters hide
With lash they fired away.
His master from the shore replied:
The boats about to sail,
And every other means you've tried,
Suppose you twist his tail?
It's likely that will make him land!
The deckman, brave though pale,
Approached with outstretched hand
10 twist that there mules tail.
There came a sudden kick behind!
The man-0h! where was be?
Ask Of the soft blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea!
For 4 moment there was not q sound.
As that mule winked his eye,
As though to ask of those around;
Nov, how is that for highf'
Cut that there mules throat right away
The captain did command:
But the noblest critter killed that day,
Was the fearless. brave deck hand.

VERY TRUE.-Horace Greeley years

how close men read newspapers. We
ne> er say anything that anybody don't
like, but we Dol hear Of it and every.
body tells us of it. II, however, nee
in a while we happen TO say a good
thing, we never hesr OF that; nobody
seems to notice that. We pay some
man a hundred ompliments, and give
him a dozen puts, and he takes it all
as a tribute to his goodness, and he
never thinks it does him any good.
But if we happen to say things this
man don't like, or something that he
imagines is a reflection on his charac-
ter, see how quick he flares up and
gets mad about it. All our evils are
duly charged to US. but we never APP
parently get any credit for what good
we do"

A Brave Girl.

Miss Emma Richards, of Akron. a girl
verging on twenty years of age, was with
her mother visiting at the residence OF Mr..
Timothy LOOMS, in Lodi, when n son of
Timothy. surnamed Phineas. proposed that
he should show her n small herd of deer
that was kept in IN enclosure on their prem
ises. The young lady consented, and
Phineas started into the brush to scare
them up, the young lady meanwhile stand
inga at the gate to await the appearance of
b m~enagerie. Suddenly she heard a cry
Of murder" in the somewhat juvenile
voice Of Phineas. Never thinking of fear,
Miss Richards started in the direction of
the noise, and after going n few rods, dis
covered the boy pinned to the earth, while
an angry buck stood over him, with the
prong Of one horn through the flesh of the
boys side, and embedded in the earth.
She instantly grasped a club and went for
Mr.. Buck. He paid no attention to the
first and second blows. but when she gave
him the third crack, he turned and went
for her. Unable TO ward off his approach
with the club. she dropped it and grasped
him by the %antlers, at the same time calling
TO the boy to arise and put for the fence.
He WINS either too much hurt or too badly
scared to mind her, and so, ~disenguging one
hand, she lifted the boy to his feet, at the
same time crowding the deer back with the
other. Once on his pins, young Phineas
found his speed, and put for the fence like
a streak of lightning on n copper rod, while
the brave girl gave all her attention to Mr..
Buck. 1t was a lively ~tussle, and it kept
all her nerve and pluck to prevent her
being thrown to the ground. Still holding
GU to the horns. she backed off gradually.
and in that manner reached the fence, but
not till her clothes were badly torn, and
her body was bruised again and again. Al
last, nearly exhausted, she reached the
fence, and succeeded in getting over i,
without receiving any serious injury. 1t
was a close call, Tut the spunk that many
a man couldn't have furnished won the
day.-Cleooldnd Leader.

crazy by the reports of idle or mischievous
people, who watch for occasions Of scandal

Hog raising in the south has, during the

will shortly enable n large majority Of
Southern farmers to become independent OF

have once more become the rulo throughout
