CRUELTY TO HORSES.

The writer Of this pamphlet is an English gen
tleman, an enthusiast on horses, who has under.
taken labor of love on their behalf His expe-
riente In riding and driving has been very great.
He has made long journeys on horseback and in
the frontier wagons on our Western prairies, and
for nearly all his life has followed the hounds in
English hunting fields. Moved with pity for the
sufferings Of the horse under the sbomination
called bearing rein or check rein, Mr.. Flower
has spent great deal Of time and money printing
and distributing pamphlets, and in measures OF
all kinds. to put an end to what is certainly a
cruel and needless alb Sc. The present pamphlet
contains many sound and valuable hints as to
the Harvesting and driving of horses, and gives
many quotations from authorities of all ranks and
callings to support the positions taken by the au.
thor John Wesley and Admiral Rous stand side
by side to give their evidence against the instru.
ments devised for the torture of the horse. Wes-
ley was in the habit of reading Homer while
journeying on horseback. He writes: II was
thinking how 1t is that no horse ever stumbes
while am reading. No account can possibly be
given bus this: because then l throw the reins on
his neck. set myself to observe, and l aver that
in riding hundred thousand miles scarce ever
remember any horse Except two that would fall
head over heels anyway to fall or make a CON
siderable stumble while rode with a slack rein

any thing will" Mr.. Flowers pamphlet is writ.

WHERE THE PATHS MET.

The recent Southern General Conference re
ceived two fraternal delegates from the African
Methodist Episcopal Church, who in our hearing
made a remarkable speech, each. The second
speaker, johnson, uttered one Of the most beauti.
full extempore passages we have ever heard.
Said he, in effect: Brethren, there happened
in that ante-room just now a circumstance shall
never FORGET You remember that David in the
Cave of Adullam sighed for water from the well
of Bethlehem, and that three young men, at the
peril OF their lives, brought the longed.for water
which David would not, after all, drink since II
had been procured al the peril Of life. He there
fore poured out TIE water as libstion before the
Lord" Said the speaker: when entered this
room was fevered, end, like David, longed for
water gentleman took goblet TO serve me
during his absence learned that he was the Gov
ernor OF Georgia. Realizing the chasm between
us, 1 thought OF David, and taking the goblet
from bis hand begged that might pour out the
water as a libatlon forever between his race and
mine."
We never saw q house more stricken, thrilled
and melted by speech from any human orator.

WHY BISMARCK's DOG ATTACKED
GORTSCHAKOFF.

The following account Of the attack
upon Prince Gortschakoff by Prince Bis
marck's dog has been received: Since
the attempt on the emperor's life by NoS
beling, the nervousness under which Bis
marck has long been suffering has vio-
lently increased. The prince, when thus
suffering, controls mis- temper with diff
Guilty. When contradicted, or excited by
the obstinate refusal of his interlocutor
to be convinced by his arguments or to
yield to his suggestions, his voice rises
and he stamps his foot. Something of
this kind occurred during the interview
with Prince Gortschakoff, and the dog,
mistaking the eagerness ofhis master for
anger, sprang suddenly at the throat of
the Russian diplomat. Happily Bis
marck was as quick as the dog, and had
seized and thrown him aside before he
had fastened his teeth in the person Of
his foe. Among certain classes in Ber>
lin this unpleasant incident is spoken Of
as an omen. The dogs instinct did not
deceive him, they say; Prince Gortscha-
koff is plotting mischief against the
chancellor, and the dog saw it in his
eyes.

POULTRY RAISING FOR PROFIT.

Poultry raising to be profitable, re-
quires athorough knowledge of the busi-
ness on the part of the keeper. First,
he should be located near some town,
city or railroad station. He should pro-
cure one or two or more good breeds.
Secondly, he should provide clean, COM
Portable houses for them in winter, and
airy roosting places in summer. Thirdly
when the two former essentials have
been attended to, he should give his
fowls cooked parChed and raw grain
food three times a day regularly, with a
plentiful supply of fresh water. He
should feed chopped meat scraps, veget-
ables cut fine or cooked with some kind
of ground feed few times a week dur
ing the winter months. He should pro-
vide oyster or clam shells, chalk, bone or
old slaked lime, also boxes of coarse
sand or gravel for their use. Fourthly,
he should clean out his fowl houses eV-
cry day. He should not crowd too many
hens into house-fOrty are enough. He
should colonize them if possible, and be-
careful to avoid in-and.in breeding, no
matter how valuable the breed And
by following these rules he can make
poultry profitable; if he neglects them he
will find fowl raising an "up hill work."

THE YOUNG MAN ANDH1s SOCIETY

A young man. just launching into business
should make it point not to mix with those
whom he would be ashamed of in years to come.
There are many who started in life with good
prospects, and intended to act in good faith and
lead honest and upright lives and would un.
doubtedly have done so had they associated with
men of unsullied character, whose names were
above reprOach; but no, the pleasures of friyoli.
ties Of the other picture they were unable 20 un-
derstand. Society can be appropriately termed
temptation. If persons intentions are good
and he should unfortunately fall into bad com
| p1ny, he would eventually, from being thrown
continually into such company acquire like hab.
Its, and finally find himself in position from
which it would be impossible for him to extricate
himself. Such cases as these are daily occurring
within our midst. How many of US know of men
who have had golden opportuniues-men who
lost wealth, position and honor through the In.
Auence Of Immoral society. Look at the numbers
Of well.educRted men, travelling from door to
door in search Of food-men who have lost their
time and standing in the world, and have fallen
so low that they have lost all shame. We think
we have drawn this picture well enough to satisfy
the young man that now is the time-noW Is their
harvest and hey fail to take these advantages
they will rue the day when they did not take the
warning in time and become credit to their
families and the community. But If immoral so
ciety is temptation to evil courses, the influence
of proper associates is equally strong in the oppo
site direction, Society may be temptation for
good as well as evil. To a young man who, from
any circumstances may be momentarily inclined
to turn aside from the paths of honor and recti.
tude, the presence Of an upright person will act
as a rebuke and save him from falling while the
very atmosphere of society of this kind will keep
his morals uncorrupted, keep his thoughts far
away from improper channels, and be a moral
fence around him, effectually preventing him,
unless obstinately determined, from going astray.

The Last Man.

1t viii be remembered when the
English Army last penetrated the
Afghan Highlands and captured
Cabul, they were finally forced to re
treat and Of all the 5000 men, women
and children, only one sou escaped to
tell the tale. HIS story was as fol
lows:
among the survivors towards the
end of the slaugh er was his native as
s~istant. who, calling Brydon TO him,
said :-.'Doctor, sahib, | cannot posi-
bly, escape ! am dying from cold and
hunger take my pony and do the best
you can for yourself Brydon tried
TO encourage the poorman, but, seeing
that he was indeed dying. he took the
pony, and through the confusion
forced his way to the front. There he
found a small group Of mounted Off
GERS, who, knowing they were just at
the end of the pass, where it opens on
which Jellalabad stands, had deter
mined to make a push for life. Seeing
Brydon on this wretched, half-starved
pony, they declared they could not
possibly wait for him. as any delay
might cause their utter destruction.
On they went, leaving Brydon slowly
toiling after them. The Afghans saw
this group approach ny, met and slew
every man then, thinking 10 n else
was coming. went back to the hills.
Just then Brydon passed. At J~ellala-
bad, where news of E'phlnstone's
force was ~anNiously looking for, at
evening one man, slowly riding a
WORKOUT pony, was deserted at the
entrance OF the pass. Some cavalry
were sent to bring him in. 1t was
Brydon. As he entered the gate he
fell sen5eless from fatigue. When he
came to himself bis first question was
about the pony that had saved his life;
it was dead. Brydon was with Sale
during the gallant defence of Jellala-
bad, and lived TO take part IN the de-
Tense of Lucknow. An Afghan sabre
cut, glancin5 from a book be had in
his forage-cap, shore away a piece Of
his skull 50 that a finger could be
placed in the wound.
