How 10 Talk 10 your Horse,

How 10 talk 10 your
This is a balmy spring morning, ana
| should love to sit here by my desk
and write with my window open. But
lust across the street man is blowing
a large vacant lot, and every time the
good horse gets to the end of a row he
yells to him, ''woah; there; no, no,
what are you doing pin voice and
manner that are ten times worse and
more rasping to the nerves than saw
filing. Why cant men learn to speak
decently to u horse? This old horse
is doing his best and suppose the
man is perfectly satisfied with him; it
is only a way he has fallen into, and
miserable way it is, too. l can't help
half wishing that the sheriff, for whom
he is blowing, would step out OF the
court over there, and arrest the man
as a disturber of the peace. He does
disturb the peace of all this neighbor-
hood.
Some New England farmer says we
need a school to teach boys how to
drive a horse in all sorts of places and
circumstances, and how to put him up
afterwards-this to include the whole
subject OF handling and talking to a
horse.
Girls, if young man of your ac-
quaintance is abusive to his cattle let
me warn you to give him the cold
shoulder when he comes a wooing ;
men Of that stamp can not make the
kindest, truest husbands. An un-
feeling disposition is never comforta-
bic one for you to take with you for
a life journey. Watch carefully his
tones when you are riding with him,
and see if he jerks the horse with an
impatient exclamation, when the horse
happens not to know beforehand just
what is passing in his masters mind.
If he is unreasonable with his horse,
he will surely be unreasonable with
you. If he is young man who can
be taught, you will do good mission
airy work by talking with him calmly
and kindly over the subject. Young
ladies have it in their power to create
public sentiment on this subject of
cruelty to ANIMALS that shall exceed
the influence of Mr.. Bergh himself.
1t is SAID that all the horses in New
York bow to Mr.. Bergh when they
pass him, and | am sure the grateful
creatures would make still! lower bow
to the dear girls il they would but
open their mouth for the dumb. y
The way the cattle act when their own.
er comes around. is a very good indI
cation of the way in which be treats
them, they vii! show it very quickly.
Whitfield says he would not give
much for that mans religion whose
dog and cat were not the better for it,
! What does your horse or OK think 0!
your religion? MAY BELLE.

You know [ ain no politician. l
am Il sort of independent person who
thinks for himself. | must admit that
I cannot understand the obstinate
manner in which the Republican mem.
beers Of Congress are endeavoring to
delay the investigation proposed by
the Democratic members in reference
to the official count in Louisiana and
Florida on the occasion Of the late
Presidential election. Their present
line of conduct strikes me as comics
sion of guilt on their part. If l were
in Congress at the present time, and a
member of the Republican party, L
would undoubtedly assist in tie
unearthing of any fraud that might be
charged against the party. IT there
are Republicans who have been guilty
OF completely in the frauds that were
certainly committed in order to seat
Mr.. Hayes in the Presidential chair,
their conduct should be investigated,
and, if they are proven guilty then
they should be expelled from the par
ty. This idea of trying to screen Mr..
Hayes aud his immediate friends, who
have been charged with the commits
sion of fraud will only injure the great
mass of Republicans, while it will
grove beneficial to only a few OF the
suspected ones. 1t is.certainly a sui
cidal policy, and will give the Demo-
cratic party greater prestige and a
far better opportunity TO achieve a
grand success at the next election.

TIE gruuH.er- ~L0 complain nf
hard times now are beginning t1 be
cOrEeTed. The people are looking
in.O the facts % the situation f1T the
causes OF existing complaints, aud in
d)ing so are finding out that they s e
"better OFF, now than they think.
The first discovery they made in this
investigation j. that dollar has about
five times the purchasing capacity il
had 10 1861, thOse 1ush times when
the recklessness OF war engenderel
speculation and seemed to put money
within the reach of every body. In
other words, they fad that a dollar
will 60 as far to-day in procuring the
necessities OF life as = did fourteen
years ago and il does not appear
that wages or salaries CT whate yer
you may call the compensation earned
by labor, have been reduced to cores
pond with this shTiukags OF values
and consequent enhancement OF the
purchasing power Of those wages. 1t
is true they have been reduced to
some extent, but the clsmOr against
K has served 10 protect the s2lary-Te-
ceiying OT wages-earning classes from
any glaring outrage in this respect.
In fact, the average of wages is high
er now than it was before the war,
while the cost of living is nearly II
not quite as low. A comparison OF the
prices of the necessities OF life, as they
stood in 1864 and as they stand In 1878,
proves the truth OF these assertions
beyond a doubt. Gold was then rated
at go; 1t is now worth only ] .00l in
greenbacks. The following table pre-
sents many interesting points Of COM

Give Your Girls a Chance,

Experience is q valuable part OF an
education. Girls should early learn
to purchase materials for their own
clothing. Parents can advise them
at the start, but it will be 3 good plan
for girls to learn to rely on their own
judgement The purchases can be
talked over after they are made. Let
your daughter, with q little advice,
cut up few yards Of calico and make
aprons aud dresses, bed-quilts, even il
there is little waste and some poor
fitS. She will be likely to see her own
mistakes and profit by them. Let her
make some cakes and brezd, and broil
some meat and pop some corn, no
matter il she does have to throw some
into the swill pail. It il better to
make q few small mistakes while
young, in acquiring an education,
than TO grow up without experience.
They must learn some time, or make
great blundeTs during good PARTON
of their lives, when left TO rely on
themselves. Ia many respect, chill
dren are not trusted enough. They are
"bns-edn too much.
