lr is known that the Russian and
Prussian governments have adopted n
kind of n biscuit for horses containing
much nutritlvc matter III small volume.
According to La Nature, the biscuits
are formed OF meal OF oats, peas md
lnseCd. The various combinations
have been studied with care, and n
mixture has been obtained such that
one lilogramme of it is equivalent to
five kiogrnmmcs of oats. II has been
found that horses bear fatigue better
and nre more vlgorot when fed with
thes, biscuit than whel. fed with oats.
The busouit can be threaded together
by means of m iron wire; thus horse
may carry its own food for our or five
days. During the late war with Turkey
Russia used 10000, 600 Of these biscuits
and the results We're SO good that tho
authorities have continued their use IN
time ofpoace.

Abraham LincOln's Ancestry lrac-

Not far from the boundary line be-
tween Berks and Lancaster counties
lies the ancestral home Of the Lincoln
family. Situated in the midst Of the
old Welsh colony Of Cacrnarvon, and
Inter-married with some of It's families,
they were looked upon as belonging 10
the original Welsh colonists. Il letter
from Daniel Lincoln, Birdsboro, Berks
county, appears in the Lancaster Intel
kgenoe7, giving some account Of the
Lincoln family. From it we learn that
Mordecai Lincoln, greatgreatgrand-
father Of president Abraham Lincoln,
came from England and settled in
Massachusetts. About the year 1876,
having lost bis wife, he moved to Exc.
ter township, Berks county, taking up
1000 acres 81 land. He brought with
him one son, the greatgrandfathe Of
the president. Mordecai married again
in Berks and Rad several sons. The

DEAD AUGUST.
~ BENJAMIN F. TAYLOR.

Died last night at - o'clock
TIE richest month Of all the wear,
Her belted grain IN sheat ana shock.
Like gold eucSmpments far and near
The rose tree mOnrns in spiders Grape,
At balf-mast stands the hollyhock.
The rock that tlye-leat'd ivies drape
Has dared to rob some Prince of Tyre
And wear his robe ui purple IRE.
The lively locust's rafting watch
l. always busy running down,
The cricket sings its hreathless catch.
And surtlawers lift the yellow crown,
As IL fairy graveyard lent
Its slender bones TO dance match.
Cicadp's knees and elbows bent,
In 1nrres whlrl, crazy set.
To click Of Moorish castanet
Unto this August Time has told
Down thirty perfect days IN rhyme,
UnSuhed hours minute old.
A minute from celestial cline,
With two full moons 10 shine the while,
Twelve hours were silver, twctvS were gold
Five Sabbath mornings peaceful smile
To light the radiant weeks along,
With hash of leaf and flights of song.
Oh. Queen of Months, splendid dover
For All this wealth one little hour
But met inevitable fate,
Broad leaves have hid sill summer long
4 precious thing beside my gate:
one after one each floral throng
Had perched but those leaves still kept
Their secret as If something slept.
A hand has put those leaves aside,
Lo. August lilies light the day!
So fair, as If some angel died
Aud took this monumental way;
So pure, as ii some singer sweet
Had touched 1t with her lips and sighed,
Because these chaliced lives so fleet,
These dear Day lilies, only last
While each swift day is going past
And vet why not I? Why tarry here
TIL dark and dreary November comes
To play the Dead March on its drums
OF sIeet, and freeze the falling tear.

Long COurlphtp.

A couple, after courtship Of over
fifteen years, were recently rarried ia
Kentucky. The wedding was to have
occurred in 1861, when the war broke
out, but the conflict which dragged all
classes OF people into its whirlpool,
claimed this lover as we'll. He took
one side, her. father took the other.
The old man never fOrgavs him. He
swore that as long as he lived his
daughter should never marry q rebel.
He kept his word. One by one his
three soDs passed over the river aud
out Of sight. His wife, brokenhesrte ted,
followed her boys to the grave, and
finally none Of the once happy family
was left but the patient girl and her
stern old parent. The war gave back
her lover uninjured, but the implaca-
BILE father stood between. He refused
his conseut to the marriage, and she
would not wed without it. And so the
many years rolled away-an obstinate
old man-two loyal lovers. Ayear ago
he died and this long delayed marriage
was consummated.

saw in the furnace beautiful maiden,
with child in Der arms. Turning
round, in obedience to an irresistible
impulse, he saw, close behind him, a
strange black. bearded fellow, leering
hideously, and holding lightly between
his tech red hot cigar. At that
moment the bells of the nsig boring
church rang cut in notification that the
elevation OF the host was taking place
within the sacred edifce. Immediately
the evil-looking individual, in whom
the brickmaker had instinctively re-
cognized the Father Of Lies, disappeared
with an angry growl, and the over
wrought trickWaber fell down in a
swoon, from which he only recov cred
to foreswear brickmaking on Sunday.
