L0RY, THE ALSATIAN.

Lory, the blacksmith of Sante-Marie-
aux-Mines, was not in good humor
that night. He was vexed and i'll
tempered.
Usually when the forge fires were out,
and the sun had set, he sit on the bench
in front of his door and enjoyed the pleas
ant fatigue caused by honest work and
the heat of the day. Before dismissing
his apprentices he would drink with
them long draughts of cool beer, while
the factory hands passed, going from
their work. That night the old man
remained at his forge till it was time to
take his seat at the table, and while he
fingered no longer, he seemed to go I'M
willingly. Looking at him, his wife
thought: What has happened to him ?
Perhaps he has bad news from the regi-
mert, and dare not tell me? Perhaps
Christian is ILL" She dared not ask
what the trouble was, but busted herself
in keeping quiet the three little blonde
heads that chartered around the table,
while munching their radishes and
cream.
At last the blacksmith put away his
plate in anger:
All! the wretches! All, the scoun-
drels!"
What now, Lory, with whom are you
angry"
- With five or six scoundrels," he
burst out, "who have been going about
town since morning, in French uniforms,
and walking arm-in-arm with the Bava-
rians. Some more of those who have
what do they call it?-chosen Prussia for
their country; and to think that every
day we see those false Alsatians return
ing! What drink did they brew them?'
But think, Lory, poor children; it
is not quite their fault. They are sent
to such a distance-Algeria, in Africa.
They are homesick out yonder, and what
a strong temptation it is to return to
Informative land and be soldiers no longer.
Iory struck the table with his clenched
fist
Hush, motherl You women don't
understand. Forever living with chill
dren. and for them alone, YOU make
everything small enough to fit your
babies. Now, / tell you these men are
scoundrels-renegades-the vilest of
cowards and if our Christian were cana
bic of such infamy, as sure as my name is
George Lory, and that | served seven
years in the Chasseurs of France. /
would run my sword through his body,o
In his excitement, half raising himself
from his seat, the blacksmith pointed to
his saber hanging on the wall above the
portrait of his son, a zouave, painted in
Africa. There was the honest Alsatian
face, swarthy and bronzed by the sun, the
Surroundings, whitened and softened as
brilliant colors are by high light TIE
sight Gained him suddenly, and he
laughed at himself
:" | am good one to worry myself in
this ways though our Christian would
think for a momentof turning Prussian
he who brought down so many during
the war"
His good humor being restored by this
thought, he gayly finished his dinner
and then went to La Vile de Stras-
bourg, to drain couple of glasses OF
beer
Now Mother Lory is alone. After
having put the babies to bed (they are
still heard in the next room, prattling
like nest of young birds going to Sleep,
she gets her work and begins to mend.

Tunbridge, one of the most successful
dairymen in the state, read a paper on
butter making. He did not look like a
genius as he came upon the stage, clad
in his farmers garb, and uncovered his
package of sample butter, made a few
days ago, from grade Jersey cows, but
his paper and his cool, apt, lucid reply to
long continued fusilade of questions,
and his rare butter proved him to be a
successful butter-maker. The points of
his paper for a prime butter dairy were
selection of cows, and his maxim is, "no
man can afford to keep a poor cow"
though he said not few men kept what
he called apologies for cows" His
second point was stables. Each cow has
a platform, Manager and feed box suita-
bic to her size. Third, feed and care.
His philosophy on this head is, no man
can afford to keep a cow poor" He cut
grass last season between the 18th and
23d of June, and second crop in Au-
gust. Milking was his fourth feature,
where gentleness and cleanliness are the
prime virtues. His first work done in
his stable is to feed his cows little hay,
then clean his stables and brush the
cows before milking. Last year he made
413 pounds frcm each of his five cows
He uses great care in drying off his cows,
and his cows drop their calves in the fall
or early winter. Mr.. Skinner said, in
his quiet, honest way, that his ambition
was two-fold; first, to get an honest live
lihood, and he had been moderately sue
cessful. And that, by the way, is a
pretty good text young men waiting
for job" would do well to study. His
second ambition has been to produce an
article the public would want, and his
box of butter before the audience was
the story of his successful endeavor.

A Campaign SANDER.

When DIR. R. V. Pierce was a candi-
date for state senator, his political opponents
published pretended analysis of his pepu-
lar medicines, hoping thereby TO prejudice
the people against him. His election by an
overwhelming majority severely rebuked
his tradueers, who sought TO impeach his
business integrity. No notice would have
boen taken OF these campaign lies were it
not that some of his enemies and every sue
cessful business man has his full quota of
snvious rivals are republishlng these bogus
analyses. Numerous and most absurd
formulas have been published, purporting
