THE BAGGAGE SxAsHERs END,

Comrades, leave me here a little, while as yet
remorse Is strong:
Leave me mere, and when you want me, sound
upon the railroad gong.
IT'S the place, and all around 1t, as Of old the
hackmen cal;
Drearv shadows on the platform. with their
hacks TO carry all.
Many a night from yonder mansion, ere
took myself TO rest,
Did I see the freight trains rolling slowly
onward TO the West,
Many night saw the signals rising through
the mellow shade,
Where the Fitchburg and the Eastern upon u
common grade.
In the spring the honest brakeman In the sun
may take nap;
In the spring the gay conductor gets himself
another cap;
In the spring the Pullman porters scatter
fresh straw in the hunks,
And the baRgage-smasher's fancy lightly
turns 70 thoughts of trunks,
Then his check was pale and thinner than
should be for one SO young;
Though his fame for smashing baggage was
on every brakeman's tongue.
And said, 20, baggage smasher! take this
IT'S not strong, nor bound with iron but
trust its fate to thee"
On his pallid check and forehead came a color
and light,
As have seen the bright rails flashing, on
before Il train at night.
lshad reused his sense OF honor, which had
sIumbered deep and long;
For q moment better feelings rose above the
For moment was his bosom shaken with a
storm OF signs,
Ihen the old stern look returning, dark gilt
tered from his eyes.
Saying, 81 have smashed up baggage bound
with hide Of bull and bear"
Saying, "Never spared any-all alike their
fate must share -
He took up that little trunk and turned it in
his horny hands;
For a moment tightly poised it, dashed it on
the railroad sands.
He took up an iron coupling. smote that trunk
both left and right;
Smote "A secret spring, which fired some four-
teen pounds of dynamite
On that morning through the city did VIC hear
the fire bells ring,
See the Hremen and policemen to the post of

All that day and through the evening did
those brave men search around
For that baBgage-smasher's body, scattered
DER the torn up ground.
Or that Observation-Disclosures baggage
smasher-now no morel
Pieces found they on the common and the
whBryes along the shore.
But my merry comrades call me, sounding on
the railroad gong
Those who see in such a murder nothing to
condemn wrong.
SO will no longer suffer my remorse to
nercely glow,
For the fast express is starting, roaring east
ward, and go.

TIE TWO SLEEPERS.

There is a cradle snug and sound
A mother singing luIlabies-
A little child with Wearied eyes
And angels keeping watch around.
And as the mother through the day
Sings to her darling while he sleeps,
Her eyes are turned from him away
Up to the rugged hillside nigh,
And still she sings, as still she weeps
That gentle, tuneful lullaby
"Sleep, little one, while angels keep
A holy W atch-my darling, Sleep"
There is a cradle on the hill
No gentle lullaby is heard
There is no mothers soothing word
To break the silence, deep and chill,
A little narrow messy mound
A hillOck where the daisies grow
The violets nesting close around
A little grave-while on the air
And echo from the vale below
Comes floating to the sleeper there
"Sleep, little one, while angels keep
A holy watch-my darling, sleep.'

Horse Phy.iognomy.

English Art Mig zine.l
His weli-shaped, delicate ears are ca
pable of being moved separately in every
direction, and every movement is full of
meaning and in sympathy with the eye
The eye Is prominent, full and large,
and placed lalerally, 80 that he can see
behind him without turning his head,
his heels being his principal weapon of
defence; bis nostrlls are large, open and
flexible and his lips feshy, though thin
aud exquisItely mobile and sensitive.
The large, open nostril is essential to
him. as a horse breathes solely and entire
ly through it, being physically incapable of
breathing through his mouth, as a valve
in the throat actually precludes him
from so doing hence the mouth of
horse, without bride in it, Is opened
only for purposes OF eating or biting,
but never from excitement or from ex-
haustion, like that of most other quad
rupeds, except the deer species. The
lips are, perhaps, even more chIracterls-
tic they are bis hands a we'll Is part OF
his mouth, and the horse and others Of
/ his family alone use them in this way.
The OK, the sheep, the goat, the deer,
the giraffe above all, and in fact, we be
lieve all graminivorous animals except
the horse, either bite their food directly
with the tongue, which Is prehensile, and
gifted with more or less power Of prolonga
ton; but the horses tongue has no such
function, and, therefore, no such powers
as these services are all performed in his
case by his lips, and no horseman who
has let favorite horse pick up small ar
ticles of food from the palm OF his hand
can have failed to be struck with the ex
IRENE mobility and also the sensbility
and delicacy Of touch with which the
lips are endowed. Now, all these phys
zeal characteristics are patent without
any knowledge of anatomy 10 any one
who applies intelligent observation to an
animal which he sees daily; but i'll pie
lures both by medieval and modern
painters what wonderful Iibels on horse
nature do we perpetually see. He Is
commonly represented as an animal
either with human or else with small,
piggy eyes, with a blunt, solid nose, with
two small round holes for nostrils, with
an open, foolish mouth, with a long body
ike bolster. straight shoulders, and
round shaPeless legs, and this not only
in the case Of the old Italian masters who
seem to have lost, with the loss of the
Greek tradition, all sympathy with and
appreciation Of the horse, but also in the
case Of English painters of eminence Of
the present day in this horse loving coun
try. Let the reader, for instance, turn
to the large illustrated edition of Jenny

invidious to mention, and then let him
say whether the above description is an

Now that the fall clearing of gardens,

All farmers know the value of com

ers manufacture hundreds Of loads of the
best manure in this way. They gather
together on the premises forest leaves,
cornstalks, including the weeds, vines,
Otfal from fence corners, muck from
ponds and bitches, occasional sprinkling
of lime through the the mass, layers OF
barnyard manure, and thus build up OBJ
long squares aud let remain over winter
When April arrives the mass has gone
through fermentation and continuation,
and presents mound of fertilizing mat
ter better than small gold mine would
be TO the proprietor OF the farm But
we want to see these compost heaps in
the garden, aud there is no reason why
they should not be there as well as upon
the farm. Rubbish enough in the gar
den, with the assstanc of leaves. some
mold from the woods If attainable, if not,
from portions of the premises where it
can be spared, scrapings from the turn
pike, manure from the stable, and every
attainable substance that will decay
through the winter A little slaked lime
will be good assistance. A half dozen
loads of excellent manure will be manu-
featured by the time it is wanted in the
spring. without mourning cent of actual
expense, and ut the same time the garden
will be cleared of its vines. stalks, weeds,
and all otherwise worthless trash.
