Old HOr5esltOos,

81 saw a funny sight in the stree, Just
now" said MIR. Patterson to his friend, Mr..
Johnson, in the Fifth avenue hotel barber
shop, New York. recently. 81 met au
elegantly dressed lady carrying in her hand
an old horseshoe covered with mud. l pre-
sumo she had just found it and was
carrying it home for good luck" "Good
luek!" replied MIR. Johnson; "don't talk to
me about old horseshocs and good luck.
About month ago, my wife and 1 we're
returning from church one Sunday, when,
in front of the new Roman Catholic church
in Fifticth street, horse which was being
driven at u lively gait, threw a shoe, and it
went ringing along tho pavement. Go
get that SHOE said my wife, 'and we will
keep it for good luck Ipicked it up, Ut
tcrly running one of my gloves in doing 80,
as it was covered with mud. This | was
going to wipe Off on the curb, but my wife
cried out; oh, don't do that, for if you do
you will wipe out all our luck So luggcd
the old thing all the way home, and over
the door we hung it, mud and all. In the
morning went down to the store wonder
ing what my first streak of good luck would
be. Before night had misun,lcrstand-
ing with my cmployer-with whom have
been Tor several years, we both got hot,

that, after the lst Of January, he would DIS
pcnsc with my services. A few days after
ward my wife went TO do Il little shopping,
and lost her pockct-book containing all the
money we had been saving for long time
to spend for holiday presents and amuse-
mcnts. In fact, for about two weeks,
everything seemed to go against me, and /
was i'll hot water all the time. Finally, |
SAID to my wife one day, that believed
it was that confoundcd old horseshoe that
was to blame for it all, and that l was
bound to take it down and put it back in
the street just where found it, and 80 l
did. The very next morning my employer
sent for me to come and sec him in his prl-
vatc office. Hc said he had been mistaken
in the matter about which we differed,
apologlZed for what he had said, hoped
there would be no hard feelings about it
and wound up by engaging me for another
year at an increased salary. l went home
that night feeling better naturcd than had
for weeks. told my wife of my good
luck, and then she took from her pocket u
letter which she had that day received from
her father, notifying her that he was going
to send her check for 5000 for Christ

only good luck since threw away that old
horseshoe. They may bring luck to some
folks, but my wife and l don't want any

Ever since fresh DIR was invented has the
earth been cursed with people who fancied
themselves appointed to ladlc out vast vol

fresh air to nervous, timid, delicate people,
who don't want pint OF 1t. The ventila-

not suffered at his pitilcss hands7 Who
has not longed to kill him3 lie haunts tho
railway train, and makes his dwelling in

sanctity Of your homo; and, wherever he
goes and wherever ho comes, he brings
with him blasts from Greenland aud thco-
ries from the storm caves of 1Golus. And
he sweeps down upon you, and your peace,
and your tranquil home like a tornado, and

Turtle ana Elephant.

One damp afternoon the turtle came wad-
ding out into the big room to borrow a
little sand to lay his eggs in. "N1y friend, "
the elephant said, s'yours is very hard
case"
eyes" the turtle replied, "but while
there's life there's soup"
The elephant was greatly astonishcd, for
he didn't know the turtle was given TO that
sort Of things at all, and all the other anil
mails grinncd, because, you see, it wasn't
often the elephant met anybody in the me-
nagcric who could talk to him,
"Well," said he, after pause 'it's q
good thing your back is SO broad"
eyes, it is" replied the turtle, 'becausc
there is no telling what may comb of it,"
The animals chccrcd softly and the cle-
plant looked amazed.
"Wcll, old go-as-you-plcasc, he said
presently. "you pay as you 60, don't you?"
''Oh, yes" the turtle said, 'I have to
shell out every once in while. How's
hides ?" he asked chcerfully.
ooh, they're easy" the elephant said,
"a little loose, maybe, but nothing to worry
over. "House-moving business keeps up,
rcckon?"
eyes, ycs,' the turtle said, "nothing
rushing particularly, but Pm in and out all
day. Nothing unusual in shawl straps, is
there ?"
The animals checred at this delicate allu-
sion to the trunk business, and for the first
time in his life the elephant looked as
though he was going to lose his temper, but
he rallied and said:
ooh, no, much the same as usual; Just
a kind of hand-to mouth business. BY tho
way. didn't sec your fathers old ovcrcoat
up In front Of the restaurant, ycsterday2"

wasn't the kind of man to die and mako
no sign. Going down into the billiard
room pretty soon9"
The elephant said s'no, they'd have
excuse him, but if they'd wait till the liycna
came along he'd have some native wins
with them." And then the turtle said
call right, he'd drop in about dusk" And
the menageric went to supper that night
with the greatest enthusiasm. But the Gle
phant was very quiet, and only spoke once,
and that was to ask the ostrich where he
supposed the turtle grew to be SO cute :
And the foolish bird Of the desert tossed an
iron bolt-head down Its throat and replied
/ "Picked 1t up, reckon"
And then, children, the elephant grinncd
and said there seemed an epidemic in the
menagerie, and leaned up against the centre
pole and went to. bed.

Advice without Charge.

When you write or speak, do not use
bushcl of words to express a table spoonful
of thought. Better think twice before you
speak once. After expressing thought
clearly stop, even though IL cost you q
mighty effort to do SO. 1t is d high accom-.
plishment to learn how to stop when you
get through, The effect on the listener is
pleasant, aud you will gain far3more credit
than by speaking longer. He that Is clear
can afford to be short. He that is not, can
hardly afford to speak At all.

Colors and their Effects.

The Importance of studying the nature
and>etfects of different colors, says the
NeaO York Commercial Bulletin, is now
admitted by wide-awake manufacturers,
as well as by those dreamy persons who
discourse simply on estReticg The
textile manufacturer is in special need of
enlightenment on the subject, for not
only the feminine mind. is inclined to
striking effects" but even gentlemen of
mature age exhibit Partially for multi
colored vests and other garments which
were generally in olden time, if not of
sombre, at least of quiet shades. A Ger
man work on the "Play of Colors" CON
tains some curious facts about the effects
of various colors. The effect of black
and white, for instance, depends a great
deal on the manner in which they are
brought together. Thus, white necktie
worn by pronounced colored citizen
has quite different effect from a black
tie on the snowy shirt front of a blonde
young gentleman. In the former case it
serves to break the uniformity, and, max
ing dividing line between head and
neck, has something that is quite impress
sive in its character But black on
white has not the same effect-it is nat
ural. Players assert that a game with
black dominoes with white spots has some
thing queer about it. Criminals were
paraded in former days carrying black
boards, with white, but not very flatter
ing notices. White linen brings out
black or dark clothes in full freshness;
but white pantaloons worn by an African
unless he be engaged in the cheerful
vocation of whitewashing-our authority
contends are by no means becoming.
The contrast is too strong. A Bedouin
IN a white 6our1oas is the incarnation of
ferceness. A black point on a white
ground appears smaller than white spot
Of the some size on black ground. Obese
persons generally look larger in the
Summer, owing to their wearing light
colored clothes. In others respects there
IS something extraordinary in color itself,
in accordance with the prescriptions of
nature. Thus the domestic fowl laws

colored ones Yellow is the poison color.
and the Colorado beetle, the wasp, serpent.
&c, are of this protective shade With the
advent Of the electric light it may be
added, there will probably be new
departure in colors. In the meantime
the chemists Of the world are busily
engaged in discovering new shades, and It
IS no easy matter to find names for them

tile lands are now worth more, because
more productive than when tie owners
were more dependent on their own labor
for grain and meat of home production
than now-that the aggregate value OF
farm products increases yearly, and that
the value of these products was eight
millions of dollars more in 1875 than in
1868, notwithstanding the very great re.
duction of prices which accompanied the
appreciation of the paper dollar from
discount OF 30 per cent in 1865 to 10 per
cent In 1875-that the farmers now get
ting the staples of subsistence from what
may be called the great manufactures of
grain and meat in the West, are produc-
ing hay, roots, fruits, poultry, and estab-
fishing diaries. He also states that the
lands in central New York, particularly
IN the Mohawk and tennessee Valleys.
the former centres of the very best wheat
cultivation i'll the United States, are like
wise increasing in value and production.

Mr.. Atkinson thus speaks of portion
of the South, "The great middle section
of east Tennessee, northern Georgia, west
ern Carolina, and southern Virginia, has
been hemmed in by the curse of slavery,
and is yet almost terra incognita; but
1T is replete with wealth in minerals, in
&lmber, and in fertile valleys of almost
unequalled climate for health and vigor.
This section is equal to the Austrian En-
plre In its area, and more than equal in
resources. 1t has a sparse population of
only one or two millions. The Austrian
Empire has over thirty seven millions
The fertile lands of the Sherman
doah Valley in Virginia, and along the
Potomac in Maryland, more than equal
Belgium; they may contain half a mil.
hon of people, while Belgium has more
than five Millions
We find Mr.. Atkinson's paper much
marred by unnecessary and irrelevant
illusions to slavery, and by his mixing
up other things not necessary to the dis
cussion of his subject. He speaks of the
impurities Of slavery, and of John Brown
and his associates beginning the war for
freedom, which was ended in 1865. Still
the treatise is full of valuable information
and of statistics scarcely obtainable else
where. We may recur to it again, and
endeavor to draw from it some practical
suggestions for our farmers. IT. P.
