their calling. Well, a majority of
mankind are inclined to growl at
their condition and prospects in
whatever line of business they may
be employed. Yet there are excep-
tons, specimen individuals, who,
while pursuing their avocations
with industry, skill and persever-
ance, have no time to grumble over
their lot in life, and who achieve
marked success in their undertake
ings. The country makes but little
parade over its farmers. Their
sayings and acts are seldom spread
before the public. Success in farm
Inc does not convey the same grand
accumulations of wealth and power
that are associated with success in
railroads, in mercantile life or in
manufacturing; but it means an IN
dependent life, quiet, peaceful,
happy home, and honest conscious
ness of being a producer of real
property and a satisfaction of aid
ing in the progress and improve
meQt of the age.

Wonderful Spiders.

A short distance from Buena
Vista is a cave inhabited by spi
ders which are different from other
spiders by their enormous size, and
are quite useful to the needy PEG
pie of that vicinity. The cave was
discovered last December by a par
ty OF sight seers, and the spiders
and their work witnessed. On en-
tering the cave one is first struck
by funny looking webs that meet
their eyes. They are worked for all
the world like webs of other spi
ders, but every fiber is ten times as
large as the ones woven by the or
binary spider. On passing on fur
Their into the cave the spiders are
encountered. They are about the
size of small birds, and make u
strange sound while weaving their
web. Their webs are so tough and
the fibers 50 large that it is almost
impossible to break down a web.
Some four weeks ago, while look
ing at the cave, miner got to eX-
amining the webs. Their strands
were about the size of No. u
thread, and he thought that they
could be used for thread. Having
a needle in his possession he broke
off one of the strands and found
that it just fitted. Sewing on Il
loose button to test the efficacy, he
found it as sh ong as a silk thread,
and that it answered his every pur-
pose. Since then the people have
focked in and carried away hosts Of
the webs, but the spiders do not
appear to object in the least.

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
How to Judge a Horse.


The following simple rules will
be found useful to all parties wish
ing to buy horse.
l Never take the sellers word
If dishonest he will be certain to
cheat you; if disposed to be fair,
he may have been the dupe of an
other, and will deceive you through
representations which cannot be
relied upon.
2. Never trust to a horses mouth
as a sure index of his age.
3. Never buy a horse while in
motion; watch him while he stands
at rest and you will discover his
weak points. If sound he will
stand firmly and squarely on his
limbs without moving any of them,
the feet planted fat on the ground.
with legs plumb and naturally
poised. If one foot is thrown for
ward with the toe pointing to the
ground and the heel raised. or if
the foot is lifted from the ground
and the weight taken from it, dis
ease of the navicular bone may be
suspected, or at least tenderness,
which is a precursor of disease
If the foot is thrown out the toe
raised, and the heel brought down,
the horse has suffered from lamini.
tbs, founder, or the back sinews
have been sprained, and he is of
little future value. When the feet
oil n hnr hnnnofh no
horse, ii there has been no disease
there is displacement of the
limbs at least and a weak disposi-
tiUn of the muscles. If the horse
stands with his feet spread apart or
straddles with the hind legs, there
is weakness of the loins and the
kidneys are disordered. When the
knees are bent and the legs totter
and tremble the beast has been
ruined by heavy pulling, and will
never be right again whatever rest
and treatment he may have. Con
tracted or Informed hoofs speak
for themselves.
4. Never buy horse with a blu
ish or milky cast in his eyes. They
indicate a constitutional tendency
to ophthalmIa, moon blindness, etc.
5. Never have anything to do
with a horse wLo keeps his ears
thrown backward. This is an In
variable indication of bad temper.
6. If the horses hind legs are
SCARED the fact denotes that he is a
kicker.
z. If the knees are blemished thu
horse is apt to stumble.
8. When the skin is rough and
harsh, and does not move easily
and smoothly to the touch, the
horse is heavy eater, and his di-
gestion is bad.
8. Avoid a horse whose respira-
tory organs are at all impaired. If
the ear is placed at the side of the
heart, and a wheeling sound is
heard. it is an indication of trouble.
Let him go.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS
To Young Men.


Young men let me say word to
you about the beginning of your
plans in life.
There are two ways opening up
before every one of you. One lies
literally along the surface of the
earth. The other rest ON earth but
reaches toward heaven. Either of
them may include worldly prosper
ity. One makes the whole expert
ence earthly. The other, while it
gives a man the possession of earth
ly joys, makes these the germs of
higher and nobler ones.
Now, there are tens of thousands
that, like the patriarch of old, have
left their fathers house. Some are
exiled on a foreign shore. Some are
on the sea. Some are in remote
states. oome have come from ru-
raj districts 70 the city; from old
occupations to new anud utried ones
Now, what a Curious beginning
of life is that by winch Il young
man consecrates himself, in the
very first steps, and distinctly pur
poses with himself, and promises
his God that he will unite earthly
pursuits and am editions with heav-
emily ambitions and pursuits, say
ing: Il will never sever my con
nection with heaven. My ladder
shall stand On the ground, but its
top shall never come down from
the heavenly rest" That is not
your planning 1t were wise ii it
were. Oh, the wantonness and the
shame of those who early assay to
disposess life of It's moral res
traints and its influence! There be
many who make use of their first
liberty to escape from home and to
disown the inspiration which they
consider superstition; to cast oil
the bands that hold them back
from, vice. They aren't gong to be
tied to their father and mother any
longer. They assert their liberty,
supposing that liberty and license
are one and the same thing. They
mean to understand more of life.
As if knowledge of life were to
be found by groveling in its low
and animal desires and pursuits
AS If a man should seek himself,
by going toward the hon, the OK,
the hog the beast of the field there
are sJme who suppose that knowl-
edge is increased by knowing some
thing of the morbid condition of
life. But blessed are those whose
first vision is OF angels when they
go away from their fathers and
mothers house, and know that it
is vision Of angels, and accept it
as SUCH Henry Ward Beecher.
