lieved that murder had been COM
mitted, and that the subsequent riot was
only an effort to prevent the discovery
OF the murderer. No sooner, therefore,
was the unfortunate man buried, than
the doctors received an order authoriz-
ing them to exhume the body and make
a pOst-mOrtem examination in secret.
One night, two nights after the funeral,
they set out on their mission with hope
ful hearts 1t was bitter winter weather
The night was black dark; the ground
was frozen hard, and thickly covered
with snow. Making straight for the
graveyard, the doctors employed them
selves in opening up the grave. For
several hours they worked with pick-aX
and spade; at last they came upon the
coffin, raised it up, and opened the lid.
1t was empty!
At this piece of audacity on the part
of some persons unknown, every body
was more amazed than ever, and again
came the conviction, stronger than be-
fore, that murder had been done. But
try as they would, they could discover
nothing. The whole county was thrown
into tumult, and popular excitement
was at its height when l unwittingly
solved the terrible secret by finding the
body in the bog.

Having sworn Shawn to secrecy, 1 as
sisted HIM to re-inter the box, and forth
with sent word of the discovery to the
magistrate. The box was at once re-
moved, the pOst-mOrtem examination
concluded, and the discovery made that
the unfortunate man had died of heart
disease. Again every body was amazed,
70 cd
with shame After the examination was
made, the COroner's inquiry was hur-
ried over, and once more, in solemn
pOmp and with all the rites of the
Church, the agent was laid in his grave.
Amidst the solemn cOncOurse which
attended this second funeral, [ noticed
the wild, wan face which had haunted
me ever since that day when [ had seen
1t by the frozen window of the inn-the
face of the very man whom in my own
mind l had accused of murderl For a
moment l hung back ashamed, then |
boldly walked forward and pressed a
bank-nOte into the wretched creatures
hand. He looked from it to me in dazed
amazement, then the sight of one of his
ragged children seemed to make him
realize what the money would do. He
clutched it closer, and with one last
look down the open grave, he crept
across the bOgs toward his home.
By whose hand the corpse was con-
veyed from the churchyard to the bog
was never discovered. 1t was general
ly believed, however, that news of the
intended examination had been whis-
pered abroad, and that the agent was
and hidden solely with view
to preventing his body being 80 cut up.''

THE HIGHWAY COW.

The hue of her hide was a dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim,
She was keen of vision and long of limb;
With Roman nose and short stump tail,
And riSs Ike the hoops OF a home mace pan.
Many mark did her old body wear;
She had been a target for all things known !;
On many n scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where once it had
Many passionate, parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many a well aimed stone,
Many a bTickbat of gOodly size
And many a cudgel swiftly thrown
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes:
Or had bounded of from her bOny back
With a noise like the sound OF a rife crack.
Many day had she passed in the pound,
For helping herself to her ncighbors corn,
Many a cOwardly cur and hound
Had been transfxed on her cTumpied horn /;
Many a teapot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time worn
tail.
old Deacon Gray was pious man,
Though sometimes tempted to be prOfane,
When many weary mile hc
To drive her out Of his growing grain.
sharp pranlIs she used to play
To get her fill and to get away.
She wisely watched him when he went BY
He never passed her without Il froWn
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eve;
He would crack bis whip in a surly way
And drive along in his " "one- horse shay"
Then mt his homestead she loved to call.
Lifting his bars with her crumpled horn;
Nimbly scaling his garden wall,
Helping herself 10 his standing corn,
Eating his cabbages one by one,
HurTying home when her work was done.
Often the Deacon homeward came
Humming hymn from the house of prayer;
Ills hopeful heart IN a tranquil frame,
His soul as calm rs the evening air,
His forehead as smooth as n well-worn plow,
To find in his gard.n that highway COW.
His human passions were quick 20 rise,
And str1dlng forth with a savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
As lightnings flash in a summer sky:
Redder and redder his face would gTOW.
And after the creature he would go.

sBrcaking his pear and apple trees;
Frampling his melons into the ground,
Overturning his hives OF bees;
Leaving him angry ana badly-stunG,
wishing tine old cows neck was wrung.
The MOSES grew on the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and play
The boys OF the village grew strong and tail
And the gray haired farmers passed away
One by one as the red leaves fall,
But the highway COW outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must have their day,
And some must have their months and

some in dying Will long delay.
There Is n climax to all careers
And the highway COW mt last slain

All into pieces at last she ent,
just like the savings banks when they fail
Out OF the world she was swiftly sent,
Little was left but her old stumpy tail.
The farmers cornfields and gardens now
Are haunted no more by the higway COW.

SOME people are puzzled how a sheet
of paper can be made unbroken seven
miles long. But what can exceed the
ingenuity that constructs a machine that
with the push of lever takes the snowy
paper into its pOnderous jaws, and, with
the speed of an express train, imprints
upon it even the faintest hair-line of the
smallest type, divides it uniformly and
accurately into pages, places it in book
form, glueing the backs, cuts the edges,
and then folds those edges Us evenly and
smoothly as a girl would fold her first

to public dinners persons distinguished
by their virtue, their genius, or their
wealth. But at a supper lately given in
London diploma in crime was neces-
sary to secure admission. This supper
was given by the Mission Chapel in st
Giles's, where there is an attempt on
foot to reclaim convicts. One of the
employees of the establishment repairs
every morning to the COldbath Fields
Prison, and invites the discharged pris-
oners to breakfast and conversation. At
the recent yearly supper some 200 Grim
inals sat down to an excellent repast.
The invitations issued numbered only

salon were opened a large crowd OF
hungry, unlimited guests had assembled,
and they managed to squeeze Their way
in. Then a wedding process ensued.

BESIDE 4 LITTLE CRAZE.

% Can no one happy TIL he dies" the old
Athenian saying, has the stamp of truth;
And oh! how many bright and glowing
youth,
Lit with the mornings sunshine and it's gold,
As years swept on has darkened with the
mold
OF vice and bitterness and sin brought care !
How many fond and fearful mothers prayer
Had been muttered if she could have told
His future life whom he sought God to spare
Nay, rather she had prayed he should lie cold
In all the purity of childhood drcst;
And standing O'er my first bOrn's little grave,
can but humbly murmur God knew best,
Stainless he took the, precious flower lie gave,

PAUPER Cows -One-third of all tile
cows kept by dairymen in the United
STATES produce less milk than will ay
their keep. These are simply a ell
upon the business ard are better given
away than kept. So says the Chi
cag0 Lire Stock Journal, which very
sensibly appeals to dairymen every
where, that they set about wedding out
their poor cows, so that they will be able
to reap harvest with q good marKet
and protect themselves against loss with
low prices. The value of
COW, measured for factory cheese
production, is determined by the
pounds of milk she yields and
may be looked at wholly from this stand
point, in which case nothing less than
5000 pounds should be satisfactory.
The cheese dairyman has then n simple
standard of selectiOn-mereiy the yield
of milk-and the sale milk dairyman
has the same standard. This is very
easy determined with pair of spring
scales hung in the stable, with a book
having name or number for each COW;
and by weighing a-d entering the milk
of each COW in the book one day in
week, the average OF these
weighings viii give the aver
age yield per day near enough
for all practical purposes. Can't a
dairyman afford to take this small trou-
bic to learn the individual character Of
his cows when profit or loss depends up
on it? A cow that yields only 5000
pounds at five or six years old should
be got rid of as a pauper that lives on
your charity and refuses to work. On
| " heifers with the first calf can be toll
Grated with so low a yield, and the pros
pect is not favorable even with the heif-
er. She should yield 1000 ponnds the
! first season to offer much encouragement
! to keep her. a heifer. whose udder does
not reach back and we'll up had better
! be discarded at once If the udder IS
round and hangs down in front of her
legs like four-quart pail she is not
worth an experiment. II becomes nee
| essary for dairymen to study all the sub
stantial points of a good COW, that they
may avoid throwing away food upon an
animal not designed to yield milk in
/ paying quantity.

A MAN living in one Of the outlying
wards Of this city, and apparently in
good circumstances, says tie Boston
Herald, has been for some years past in
the habit Of paying simply a 0oll tax.
This year he was somewba a-COHished
at receiving a tax bill To the amount Of
100. Upon visiting the Assessors to
ascertain what it meant, they commenced
interrogating him in relation 20 the own
ership of certain mortgages, stocks, etc,
and, when pushed to the wall, he con-
fessed that they belonged to him, and
that the tax bin was all right. In reply
to his persistent inquiries as to who had
furnished them with the informations
they finally informed him that his wife
had been registered as voter, and
when questioned as to her qualifications,
had enumerated the taxable properties
/ { f her husband.

Pig arrangement.

1t has been lar TOO customary to
halt-starve store pigs after Weanlng
them, allowing for their food only a
little sour whey, beyond what they
get for themselves. Many farmers
who do this probably imagine it would
not pay to adopt more liberal meth
cd Of feeding But let them try it
on, and they will soon find that great
is the error to keep pigs, any more
than any other kinds of stock, stag
nant at any period of their existence.
Although it is by no means so Diff
fcult TO make a lean pi s thrive and
after his condition, when the feeder
commences operations, as to the effect
the same change in a lean sheep, heif-
err, or OK, still grave mistake is in
Cured whenever TIE young animal IS
allowed to decline in flesh, and not
kept constantly advancing in condi,
ton.
The great art Of remureraive stock
keeping is the same for all animals
when kept fer meat production. From
the period Of birth until slaughter,
there should on no account be the
slightest stagn .tion in growth or de.
cline in condition rendered possible.
This should be avoided as a fatal
stumhling-hlock to success and no
stock can be kept so as to pay 50 well
for their food unless this art be well
understood and It's principles acted
upon.

From Despair to cIadness

Mr.. Giles Carter, a well known citizen
of Rochester. N. Y, has just given the
following card to the public: For about
two years my wife has been troubled with
something and we could not imagine
what she had frequent flashes OF heat
followed by severe sweats, both night and
day; her back troubled her a great deal
and any exertion seemed to utterly pros
trate her. She drank large quantities OF
water without seeming 10 quench her
thirst In the least, and kept getting worse
and worse all the time. We employed
the services of physician, but Without
benefit, not even learning what was the
matter with her. Finally. noticing Pc
culiarlty in her urine, had 1t examined,
and by boiling, reduced 1t to m0ldsses,
about half in quantity to the amount OF
water used. l at once wrote to her broth
er, a physician in the East, who pro-
nounced II sugar" or (Saccharine) Dia-
betes. He said he knew of no cure for 1t
and that she probably could not get
well; that she might live for few years,
but would get worse and worse all the
time.
At this time, and when we were in
despair, / saw Warmers Safe Diabets
Cure advertised, purchased a bottle, and
my wife has continued using IL until she
is now perfectly cured and as well as she
has been In years. l consider Warmers
