Colored Men Read This,

The colored Republicans OF Patter-
son, N. D., are irate, and threaten to
bolts the Garfield ticket and form
Hancock campaign cubs. They are
angered at tho action of the white
members Of the Robinson Battery OF
the Ehird Ward. The organization
was named after Dominic Robinson
ex-Assen blyman, and defeated as
pirant for the nomination for Con-
gress, and the white and black ele
ments fraternized. The battery soon
became a formidable political coterie
of voters Of all hues, and until the
ambition to have procession mani
tested itself, the meetings were har.
monious. The white brethren were
slightly in the majority, and when
the desire 10 parade was advanced,
they began to reason that they would
compromise themselves by walking
with arms linked to the negroes, and
accordingly judiciously arranged to
have all the white members present
at the last meeting. The motion to
parade was made, much to the de-
light of the colorcd members. The
next resolution altered their feelings,
as the whites resolved that the color.
ed men could not parade with them,
except as distinct body.

"for We know not who comcth Tomorrow;
In the brightest Of days darkest storms may arise,
Clothing all the green Earth with sorrow.
"Thsre are times In our lives when We are no. pre-

Said the weak, trembling voice Of the pastors
"There are ehappeningsq qnite unexpected We know
And the tears followed faster and faster.
The kind people joined In the good parsons tears,
The choir couldn't sing for It's signing;
And even the sexton pathetic was seen

The kindly, good pArson, between sobs, replied,
"My wife brought me triplcts this morning"'

TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE HORSES.

There is no animal on the farm that
is so likely to be neglected as the horse.
The horse of the city truckman, or OF
the cxpressman, the driving horse and
the saddle horse are well cared fol, but
the farm horse is too often irregularly
fed, and, SO far as cleaning is concern
ed, regularly and Systematically neglect
ed. II is difficult to obtain hired man
brought up on the farm who thinks there
is any necessity for taking special care
OF a horse. Some horses upon the farm
are rarely, il ever, properly cleaned, and
yet the condition and usefulness of the
farm horse depend as much upon the
manner in which it is cared for As any
other horse. When brought prcspiring
to the stable he ought not TO be allowed
to stand over night with the dust drying
upon him. a good cleaning is half L
rest, and yet how often we see the farm
horse brought out in the morning cover
ed with the dirt of the day before and
with the accumulated filth of the night
still clinging to him. Under such con-
ditions, horse is not much more than
half horse. Often, too, he is irregu-
larly fed and indiscreeily watered. A
horse at work should have water five or
six times day. II he does not drink
more than two or three quarts at time
all the better. Ahorsc that is kept from
water until he will drink two or three
pailfuls will be very likely to have his
digestive organs and bowels seriously de-
ranged.
To keep horse in good working con-
dition he should be fed regularly, wheth-
er at work or idle in the stable. He
will last many years longer than il, when
at work, he is heavily fed, and when idle,
neglected. A horse on the farm should
always be cleaned at least once day,
and when hard at work both night
and morning. II not at work good
grooming once day will be sufficient,
and when idle good hay. might be sub
stituted for grain at the MONDAY meal,
but when at work grain should be given,
as he would obtain more nutrition in
half an hour from grain that in many
hours from hay. A hired man who is
worthy Of his hire will take pride in
ministering to the comfort and improv-
ing the appearance of the animal he
drives

A FATHER WHO MELTED.

Why WE EAT RAW OYsTHRs.-Dr
William Roberts, in his interesting lee
lures on the digestive ferments, writes
"Our practice in regard to the oysters
is quite exceptional, and furnishes 4
striking example of the general correct
ness of the popular judgment on dietetic
questions. The oyster is almost the
only animal substance which we eat ha-
bitually, and by preference, in the raw
or uncooked states /; and il is interesting
to know that there is sound physiolog-
ical reason at the bottom Of this prefer
ence. The fawn-colored mass which
constitutes the dainty of the oyster is its
liver, and this is little less than heap
Of glycogen. Associated with the gly-
cogcn, but withheld from actual contact
with it during life, is its appropriate
digestive ferment-the hepatic diastase.
The mere crushing of this dainty be-
tween the teeth brings these two bodies
together, and the glycogen is at once
digcsted without other help, by its own
diastase. The oyster in the uncooked
state, or merely warmed is, in fact, self
digestive. But the advantage of this
provision is wholly lost by cooking the
heat employed destroys the associated
fermcnt, and a cooked oyster has to be
digested, like and other food, by the
caters own digestive powers.-L0ndoH

Jacob Storm wished they might last for
ever. He, too, was hard at work and
one day, when he and Sallie had dis
cussed the merits Of various authors and
compared notes sconcerning their studies,
Sallie's outburst ofpraise for his achieve
ments drew from him an avowal Of his
love.
"Why, Jacob" said she, regretfully,

| should as soon fancy Tom marrying

"You think / am clumsy and Slow"
he said, "or perhaps stupid and ignorant,

Jacob obeyed her. Her wishes had
been his law for years, and he was man.
ly enough to be proud Of it.
At last the goal was won. Sallie was
in college devoting herself to her cher
ished books, and Jacob still worked as
he had done before, now blaming him.

wishes, now working at his books with
the desperate energy Of one who has
s,aked all on success.
Every Sunday he visited Glenmere
with Dixie, but no longer spent his time
with Sallie. At last n change came /;
Jacob Storm, senior, was gathered to
his fathers, and his son was free.
Dixie wrote to his sister in boyish
fashion: "Old Storm has gone, and
Jake mourns for him as il he had been

Sallie's last year Of college life was
drawing near its close and the students
were arranging for their separation,
when an invitation was sent them to at
tend a lecture by an eminent gentleman
who had been recently appointed to a
proiessorship in Western university.
"Going, Miss Rivers?" asked a
senior, as she peeped in at the half-open
door of Sallie's room.
"No, l think not. shall employ the
time in writing home"
"Do 60. They tell me Professor
Storm is quite remarkable, and Darwin
ism has its attractions for all of Us"

denly. "lt will not do to miss treat.
In her rebellious little heart she was
saying: al will go for the sake Of the
old name and my childhood's friend,
but poor old Jake will never know it. !"
The hall was crowded, and on the
platform sat the college president with
several distinguished gentlemen. The
speakers face was partly hidden by the
desk before him. When he arose, at
last, Sallie's heart gave quick bound /;
for there before her stood her neighbor,
friend, and lover. He did not seem to
see her; his subject engrossed his entire
attention. Sallic listened with pleasure.
The physical training Of the past added
strength to his mental requirements, and
his clear, manly voice charmed all lis
teners.
"Isn't he fine looking ?" whispered
one. "What a splendid type Of man.

When the speaker closed, the applause
was emphatic and prolonged. Sallie sat
motionless. Surprise and pleasure min
gled with thousand memories. Pro
fessor Storm did not heed it. He was
looking at bright face just before him,
and answered the congratulations Of his
friends in an absent manner.
"Pardon me-" he said to the presi-
dent; "I recognize an old schoolmate
yonder."
"Ah, indeed that is Miss Rivers, q
young lady Of remarkable energy and
unbounded perseverance she stands at
the head of her class"
"She would be No. I anywhere" said
the Professor, as he turned away to join
her.
