How to Lead a Cow.

EVERY woman will tell you that man
can be led easier by putting an arm
around his neck than by pulling his
hair, but we never knew till recently
that the reason you can't lead a COW
behind a wagon is because she objects
to having her horns pulled. The 9TH.
day a red-shirted emigrant passed
through here on his way to Carroll
County. His family and household
possessions were in covered wagon,
to the hind end of which was tied aCow
Behind her, with sharp stick, walked
the emigrant, giving her smart welt
occasionally when she hung back.
Every now and then she would brace
herself up and stop the team, and
then in unclerical language he would
beseech her to 60 on, marking each
forcible period with prod of the sharp
stick. The poor COW rolled her eyes
and rolled her tongue. The poor emf.
grant, too, was dusty and tired, but his
voice and stick didn't fail him. She
had suddenly halted the procession in
front of the postoffice, and was shaking
her head in reply to his earnest entreat-
les when a man called out to Red
Shirt that he did not understand cows
worth a cent
"Well, what are you going to do
about it?' asked Red Shirt.
"Why, just take that rope off her
horns and put it around her neck, and
she'll lead as quiet as lamb. If she
don't, I'll follow her mile myself"
The rope was changed to her neck,
and the team started. She gave a look
of surprise and walked along. "Well,
that beats alln' said Red Shirt, and,
without word of thanks, he mounted
his wagon. The procession moved
slowly on toward Carroll County, and
the COW followed, with countenance
as placid as if she were walking home
at milking time.-AmeS hateHigencer.

neck and in the cuffs, and supplies
slender centers for the back of the gar
ment, which is in basque form, with a
deep extension below, suitably draped.
and trimmed with band of plush set
about an inch and half above the hem.
A heavy cording of silk is the only
finish upon the edge of the polonaise.
In anticipation of the quiet weeks
which occur just before spring, there is
a decided inquiry for new styles for
wrappers and also for house sacques.
The handsomest model for the first
mentioned is princesse, with the ordi-
nary portions of that design made slen-
der and handsome. The most dressv
wrappers are made of pink, blue or
white basket-tigured cashmere, trimmed
with white Torchon lace, either with or
without silk additions. A balayeuse is
considered as necessary to wrapper of
this kind as it is to an evening dress.
wrappers OF twilled flannel are for the
private room, and these are trimmed
with bias width of blue, garnet or
black velvet. Sacques for breakfast
wear are of heavy basket-figured mate
rails or of the soft cashmeres in light
colors, embroidered. Dressy sacques
for young matrons are made of pale
blue or rose-colored Sicilienne, trimmed
either with white Torchon lace, or, what
is less common and extremely dressy,
two-inch width of French lace. Bows
of narrow black velvet accompany such
sacques as small points of garrfiture,
and with a black silk skirt such a
sacque is worn while receiving informal
visitors. The new Russian lace appears
to advantage on wrappers and sacques
of wooden materials. Some perplexity
would be saved the reader if Torchon
lace had fewer names. Originally it
was Smyrna; it is now called Mirecourt,
Clovis, Torchon and Smyrna.
The small capes which first appeared
upon sacques are now made supple
mentary to any form of garment that
is suitable. For rough-weather wraps,
capes have special adaptability; but
they are also appended to polonaises of
stamped velvet, when such supply
part of street costume, and are seen
with suits of black silk and black vel
vet. Invariably they are made of the
richest fabric composing the dress, and
it is worth remarking that they are
never incumbered by trimming. A
simple binding or piping is the only
finish required. Domestic Monthly for

JAR Y.

The famished sun crawls through flaw in night,
And blurs the kissing tempest into morn,
Spreading a misty pool of sickly light
That widens till the CHASTITY day is born.
And lonely trees, on uplands, blown as bare
As beggars on the hills, when winds are out,
Stagger like drunken giants in the air,
And wildly toss their naked arms about.
The ocean, agonized with winds, and sleets
That pave an angry pathway down from heaven,
Thunders and smokes among the shattered fleets
That, like dead sea fowl on its rocks are driven.
And the bright river, with its deep-toned lutte,
And brook that sang amid the flowery wild,
Beneath an icy slab dark, drear and mute,
Lie side by side-dead mother and dead child
And, now, the blue-lipped orphan treads the
street,
With naked shoulders pressed against her ears,
Washing the red stains from her bleeding feet,
At every trembling pause, with bitter tears.
While, mid the gloomy waste that round her
lies,
Nor sight nor sound to cheer her can she trace
For the dumb earth, before her sunken eyes,
A huge, chill ball of anguish rolls through
space.

KERANIKAL hRAZE.

OF all the diseases that ever were known
Since Noah's unfortunate days,
The strangest that yet has afflicted mankind
Is the present keramikal kraze-
Ke-ra-mi-kal-
o yes; the keramikal KraZe!
You may spell it ceramical craze, if YOU choose
To follow lliterate ways;
But modern Kultcha commands that it should
Be spelled keramikal kraze-
Ke-ra-mi-kal-
You know-the keramikal kraze.
Wboever is seized with this kurious complaint,
Very soon all the symptoms betrays-
And, by gum, every pot mug and jug in tn,
house
With birds, bugs and japanese blaze!
Ke-ra-mi-kali
For such is keramikal kraZe.
By and by when this kueer epidemic is DER
THE ash-man will stand in amaze
To ind all the barrels so full of ould pots -
The remains of keramikal kraze-
ke-ra-ml-kal-
Then adieu to keramikal kraZe

risk SO the house was reused as usual
and Florence Amanda, pale and chilly,
swallowed a little breakfast, and was
carried over to the station with her
mother half an hour before time
The early train was part freight, part
accommodation, and very tiresome:
not only tiresome, but really not safe
for the road was scarce worth runnino
at all, and had no surplus funds to ex7
pend on its equipments.
The passenger-car that followed the
ponderous freight vans was old and
rickety to a shameful degree, the floor
ing was broken in several places, the
seats loose, the cushions torn, and, as
afterward proved, the wheels too worn
to have been used-sme to have been
condemned had they been properly in
spected.
A "hot box had already delayed the
train, and they must make up by faster
running. Somebody's cow-as some
body's COW is apt to-strayed on to the
crossing, and stopped there to rumi-
nate. This was enough to throw bet
ter train off the track, and it wrecked
this one utterly
When Mrs. Jakeway picked herself
painfully out of the fragments she saw
her daughter lying senseless on the
bank beside the track.
But she was not dead, though her
weak spine had received such an injury
that she was lifelong invalid, surviv-
ing only to be moved from her bed to
her chair for several years.
Perhaps it was as well for MIR. g.
monds; for a helplessly-feeble wonh,
with weak back, an aching head, q
chronic dyspepsia, and the temper in
evitable to such troubles, is not a help
meet for any man. No doubt he was
much better off with the rosy, buXOm
Western girl he married afterward, who
had no idea of the higher mathematics,
not much of geography, and less Of
spelling, but who was capital house
keeper and a CHEEKY, sweet-humored
wife and mother
And perhaps it was also as well fol
Florence Amanda. She was not fit tC
be wife or mother in any sense; hel
education had untitled her for such du-
ties, and even as teacher life would
have been burden to her. Now its
term was shortened, and in the few
years that remained she learned the
best lesson of life-how to die.
But the burden of the sorrow fell
upon poor "Mis' Smart though she
never heard that pseudonym again
She did not cease to blame herself fol
taking that early train, and she never
looked at her suffering child without a
bitter pang of remorse.
No reasoning awaited to comfort her
She tried to be submissive, as became
a good Christian woman, and she sci
herself resolutely to curb her impatience
and fidgety spirit. Her home became
peaceful and pleasant to its inmates as
never before, but in her heart life
long sorrow remained, to remind hel
that it is as bad to be too early as toe
late.-RoSe Terry Cooke, in YOUTHS Com
paniOn.

Ingenious.

A DEALER in house-furnishing mate
rails on the West Side has adopted an
ingenious and effective method of slim
ulating his sales. Let it be supposed
that woman enters and looks at some
carpets, likes them, but finds the price
excessive, and so is about to depart.
The proprietor makes signal, and
there enters magnificently attired
woman, who asks to see some carpets.
The proprietor obsequiously shows her
the carpet which the first woman had
seen, and she is charmed with it (the
first woman has stayed, as matter of
course, to see how the second woman's
overskirt is trimmed, and whether her
jewelry is jet or India-rubber) 81 was
recommending this, very piece to this
lady, but she seemed to think it little
higher priced than she could afford to
pay. Hard times, you know "Ah,
yes" says the second woman, care
lessly regarding the first one, and then
fixing her eyes attentively on the car

But have set my heart on having this
carpet (here the first woman casts to-
ward her a venomous glare and the
proprietor rubs his hands softly and
says to himself: "That carpets sold?'O

proprietor, bowling and rubbing his
hands; "and shall have great pleas
ure in keeping it for you, subject, of
course, to this lady refusal, as she was
first to speak for it "Oh, she won't
take it, l know" says the second wom-
an, walking off, with one swift glance
at the first woman. in which she APP
praises the first woman's dress and her
husbands income at a ridiculously low
figure. When the proprietor returns,
after having bowed her out, he finds
the first woman, pale but determined,
nervously tapping the floor with her
foot. Il will take this carpet" she
says; "make out the bill for it and
send it home at once" "Perhaps you
would prefer this one," he says, gently;
sit costs thirty cents yard less, and
is quite as good, though perhaps not
so fashionable. Besides, that other

she says, with hectic flush on either
cheek, "even if do not wear expensive

bill and gone, the proprietor, who is
married, rubs his hands softly and
says: "Ah, those women! those women!

WE don't want Moore Township girl
for lung-tester. At asinging-school up
there the other night a young man was
Dragging about the strength of his
lungs, and invited a girl in the compa-
ny to hit him in the breast. She said
she was left-handed; had been washing
that day and was tired, and didn't feel
very active, but at his urgent request
she let go at him. When his friends
went to pick him up he said he thought
he would die easier lying down. He
had lost all recollection of having any
lungs, but the young woman consoled
him by admitting that she didn't hit
him as hard as she might have done,
because she rather liked him.-EaSton

"one more unfortunate Is often The cap
ton of many a sad tale. These three words
combined have become n stereotyped head
ing for the journalistic world, and are per-
fectly familiar to the reading public.
They speak volumes, and in a plain, unmis
taKaDI- manner tell the tale OF woe, OF
d~esignin" deception, Of ruination, of
misery. nj death, of sin, of fearful despair,
Of grief, and Of an irreparable wrong,
wrought Icy a passion damning to the ex-
treme. One more unfortunate ! how
sad to contemplate! Yet the record must
be made-the same old story mn be told
SO long as thouGhtless and wicked human
nature exists. by these words we are re-
minded of a young, beautiful, trusting, and
confiding girl. She too loved too well, but
not wisely. She, through a Christian in
fuence, was taught to believe all that was
told her. Lessons OF proper suspicion, Of
doubt, were never taught her. She listened
to and believed the velvet-coated tongue Of
fair promises, and fell a victim. The result
she could not hide, and, rather than remain
and disgrace her once happy home, she
left it and took refuge in the great city of
New York, and for fear of being found
out, she finally departed for a foreign land.
The deep, wide sea was soon placed between
her and all that was once SO sacred and
dear. A fond father and mother, stricken
with grief in their old age, soon found
homes in the grave. A brother, broken in
spirit, found relief in the intoxicating bowl,
and filed q ~drunkard's grave. A sister, lost
to her former standing in society, married
her inferior. A once happy, prosperous
home was thus desolated by - one more IN
