Domestic Thunder Storms,

Not many lovers, suppose, have
found that their welded life answered
quite to the dreams of their courtship-
not quite, mine didn't. Yet who would
enter a complaint against heaven be-
cause May does, not quite match with
October? If my experience can be of
any use, I think thunder storm, so it
was not to do mischief, may sometimes
clear the atmosphere under the roof
about as well as it does outside. And
SO sure lam of it's blessing that when
hear people say they have lived together
fve-and-twenty years and never had the
least difference, I wonder if they havo
not had great deal of indifference.
It is the lesson we have to learn, too,
through our saddest and most painful
bereavements. Robert Collyer.

Packing a Trunk.

"The man who takes over ten min
utes to pack trunk is a dolt!" said
Mr.. Bowerman, as he slammed down
the lid and turned the key. Mrs.
Bowerman had been at it just seven
days and seven nights, and when her
husband went up stairs at 10 o'clock
she sat down before the open trunk
with tears in her eyes. "You see how
it u.s." she explained, as he looked down
upon her in awful contempt. "I've got
only part of my dresses in here, saying
nothing of a thousand other things, and
even now the lid won't shut down.
I've got such a headache I must lop
down for few minutes" She went
away to lop, and Mr.. Bowerman sat
down and mused: "Space is space.
The use of space is in knowing how to
utilize it." Removing everything, he
began repacking. He found that silk
dress could be rolled to the size of a
quart Jug. A freshly-starched lawn was
made to take the place of pair of slip
pers. Her brown bunting fitted into
the niche she had reserved for three
handkerchiefs, and her best bonnet was
turned bottom-up in its box and packe d
full of underclothing. He sat there
viewing sufficient empty space to pack
in whole bed, when she returned, and

A Singular Occurrence i'm Texas.

A man named AIKEN, living seven
miles northwest Of this place, was plow-
ing in his field, when he heard dull
rumbling sound like that of stones fall
ing in water. Suddenly his horse
leaped to the lett and began furious
run, and before Mr.. A. could under
stand the phenomenon the earth gave
way under him and he went down a
distance of twenty feet into a cold
stream. Mr.. A. began to struggle
against the rapid tide and gained the
bank, along which he CROPPED his way to
the place in which he fell, sometimes on
dry rocks and again in eddies waist
deep, but finally placing his feet on
terra firma. A party went on the fol-
loving day and explored the channel a
distance of several hundred yards either
way. The stream is represented as be-
ing ten feet wide by four or five deep,
the whole passage being about eighteen
feet wide by eight or ten feet in depth.

that he had regular " rat TAIL" he had
failed in all attempts to dispose of him
on that account, until accident suggested
and threw in his way the means of sup
plying the want. A neighbor having
lost fine horse who happened to have
a large flowing tail, it occurred to the
roguish horse trader that, if he could
somehow appropriate for his own steed
that desirable member, it might be made
the means of accomplishing to advantage
the long-deferred sale. Acting upon
this idea, he carefully separated it, leav-
ing nothing but the hide, to which of
course the hair chung fast, and this he
strained over his own horses stump.
sewed it tightly, and then hurried off to
find purchaser. This he accomplished
without delay; and the buyer, much
pleased with his bargain, took him home
and put him in a stall. The next morn
ing early he was summoned to the
stable by the noise made by the horse,
who was kicking the sides of the stall in
the intervals of looking backward as if
in distress; and after a good deal of
investigation into the cause for
the trick was performed so neatly
that it quite bafled him at
frst-he found the rawhide of the false
tail had shrunk, and, sewed strongly,
was pinching the poor horse so unmer-
cifully that he couldn't stand still. Re-
lieved of it, there stood his neighbours
rat-tailed horse; and when directly
afterward the scamp was charged with
it, Of course he did it, ne said, un-
blushingly, indeed with hearty peals of
laughter, as if it was the climax of good
jokes, winding up his confession with
the received axiom, Gall fair in a horse
swap" and that he expected his neigh

as he himself had done. OF course the
cheat didn't get into the courts it was
too novel and too acute, "too good" for
that; but the victimized pocketed his
loss, relying upon getting even with
the successful trickster some day in the
future, or, at least, making himself
square" off of somebody else.
