Voters of 1880.

They have been married about two
years, when one morning just as the tip
end of Aurora's finger reached for a
cloud to help him pull himself up from
the ocean bath by, Maria shook George
10 wake him from his m norning nap
There was happy far-away look in
her eyes.
"Oh, George" she said, turning over
for bran new nap" "dream away: ]
won't hinder you"
At breakfast he thought to ask her
about the dream, and after some per-
suasion she consented to tell it.
81 dreamed" she said, Il was at a
big auction sale of men, and a whole
lot of rs women was buying them up
for husbands. Oh, there were some
splendid looking men there. One great
big fellow. six feet high, with full.
round limbs, big black eyes and glori-
Gus curly hair, brought 100000. The
next one fully as big and handsome,
with light hair, and whiskers, brought
$4,000.
"Did you see any there like me? and
what did they bring2" anxiously ask
the husband.
Sand l was just crying my eyes out
because hadn't enough money to buy
a prime article"
"Did you see any sold ike me2 and
what did"
"At last they got down to $50, 900,
but still could not buy, and l was cry
ing like anything, when"
did you see anv sold like me, and"
"Then they got dowE TO $25, 900, and
$20,000,- and $4,000, and $4,000, but
still / couldn't buy, and l was crying
fit to turn an overshot water wheel,
when"
"Did you see any sold like me2
Goodness gracious, yesi Thous-
ands of them. They were put up in
bundles like corn fodder, and sold for
a cent a bundle. They were labled vo-
ters for 1880" and the auctioneer would
not guarantee them for any other use!"
When she looked around again he
was gone.

treatment Of Balky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Animals has put forth the fol
lowing rules for the treatment of balky
horses, which should command the at
tention of the owners of animals ad.
dicted to that provoking habit:
1. Pat the horse upon the neck; exam
inc the harness, first on one side and
then on the other, speaking encoura-
gingly while doing so; and then jump
into the wagon and give the word go
generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can
start the worst balky horse by taking
him from the shafts and making him 60
in a circle till he is giddy. If the first
dance of this sort doesn't cure him, the
second will.
8. To cure balky horse, simply
place your hand over the horses nose
and shut off his wind till he wants to
go, then let him go.
4. The brain of the horse seems to en-
tertain but one idea at time; therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you can by any
means give him new subject to think
of YOU will generally have no trouble in
starting him. A simple remedy is to
take couple of turns of stout twine
around the fore leg, just below the knee,
tight enough for the horse to feel, and
tie in bow-knot. At the first check he
will go dancing off, and after going a
short distance You can get out and re-
move the string to prevent injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
S. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs and tie it with cord to the
saddle girth.
6. Tie a string around the horses ear
close to his head.
The Farmers Union suggests that in
following any of the above rules, that
the manager of the horse does not lose
his own temper and become more balky
than the horse. 1t is very common
remark that there are more balky dri-
vers than horses. A driver who does
potycontrol his own temper will be very
likely to lose control of balky horse.

He from that sliding sled was slude.

from tne OOuBtcSetieuaAss.
He lightly climbs the pulpit stair;
We're privileged to scan the man;
Externally he wears the air
OF one who gives uncommon care
To shine the foremost in the van.
Arrayed in fanltlessness he seems,
Superbly clad it may be said;
BETTING one whose rugged themes
Arouse the sinner from his dream
Arouse, indeed, the very dead
So Peter must have stood arrayed,
So Paul in dilettante gear;
So stood they all in dress parade
For eyes to scan the enfilade;
See Boanerges thus appear.
The organ swells, from whispers small
1t thrills and peals and laundering
rolls;
As shrill as 'twere a clarion call,
Or grand as 'twere a waterfall
Or soft as ripples on the shoals.
Aman of God is at the keys,
Twere wrong to thinkit otherwise
Seraphic things man hears and sees
When bended lowly on his knees
Hecaught his rapture from the skies
A voice; it is the sound of song,
And Quavers vibrate in the air;
And pleasure quivers move the throng
Must not such trancing sounds belong
Tolworlds than this by far more fair
Did seraph sing that anthem sweet?
Twas earth-bOrn minstrelsy you say
Then heavenly paths command her feet
No dross with such gift is meet;
She walks, she must, the narrow way
Uprises now the man of men,
And instant, wields mesmeric sway,
Intensely keen is every ken,
And ready-made loud amen
To greet whatever he may say.
He prsys; If rhetoric be prayer
He pierces empyreal heights,
Is genuine contrition there,
Confession of a heart laid bare?
If so, God bless him in his flights
The preacher speaks. In rhythmic
flow,
Deyout of wordy orifamme,
In cadence sweet, nor fast nor slew,
Nor cold nor heated to a glow,
Nor plantitude nor epigram.
DO men on fire or God 80 preach?
Is Lazarus whispering from the
tOmb9
Is purring preaching? Then impeach
The Sinai pulpit, swift toreach
The dead awaiting final doom.
Has love no lightnings? Caspian cloud
Meier held such weird, electric freight
Our God is love? The heavens he
bowed
That earth might richly be endowed
To neutralize its deadly hate.
But hate must die; rebellion dire
Must yield to Love in Christ re-
vealed;
Else Love let's loose consuming fire,
The lightning of eternal ire;
Now only for space concealed.
The sermon to its finis draws
In climax of rhetoric power,
Loud rustling marks the final pause,
Suppression or more loud applause
Like falling of q summer shower.
Again the organ; once again
The soloist returns to view;
Here sounds as from a lions den,
Or softly duleiter as when
Some syren charms fated crew.
Forth come the throng as from treat,
A savory banquet, rare and rich;
From courses of an@sthetic sweet
Perhaps from anasthetic seat
Vast worship or performance, which =?
