HORSE EXCHANGE.

A very necessary and very important
movement has been inauguratcd in
New York for the establishment of q
high class institotion for commerce in
horses. which is TO be conducted on a
similar plan to -the Tattersalls in Lon
don.
The object of the company is to sup
ply the great want at present felt in
New York for high class establish
mcnt for commerce in horses, which
shall be SO conducted as to merit the
! confidence of buyers and sellers in all
parts of the country. The company
win also take especial pains TO place the
American horses squarcly before the
world Of buyers, and there are reasons
for believing that several foreign gov
ernments will enter into contracts with
them. when in position to negotiate
for cavalry reinouats.
This business will be founded upon a
basis Of the famous establishment
known as Tattcrsalls, in England, and it
will be the aim of those responsible for
ITS conduct TO preserve for il, as nearly
as possible, similar character and
breadth of purpose.
Ii is proposed
/. To sell horses privately on commits
sion, and TO receive direct consignments
from farmers, breeders. etc. to advance
all frieghts and expenses (in addition to
a per centagc of valuc) and to give them
the full benefit of prices obtained, less
commission and expenses.
2. TO hold bi-weekly sales at auction
Of horses, carriages. harness. etc, to
make specially of the European trade
by periodically getting together such
horses as will suit the trade, and adyer-
tising the sales largely.
The establishment will then undeIlia-
bly, become The headquarters and rem
dezyoGs Of parties from abroad.
In the s.abl. every horse will be cata-
logucd and numbered, and his full and
trae description given: thus an intend

AlaSka'S BIC River.

Alaska explorers report one of the
largest rivers in the world, the Yukon,
as navigable for steamers, and at 500
miles from it's mouth it receives a very
large navigable tributary. The basin
formed by the confluence is as large as
our Mississippi. Indians are every
where, and the war between the tribes
is fixed institution. There is snow for
six months, and without roads dog
sledges find good travelling. Game
abounds, and Indians have an easy life.
From seven to nine dogs make team,
the odd one being the leader. The
driver has to watch this dog. If itgets
on the scent of game it is off, and the
team is demoralized. Of they scalnper

The WOrSted Church.

The Worsted Church of Canterbury,
N. H., iu the interior, is mosaic of
needlework of vines, flowers and
decorations of worsted, in all colors
and designs. Few persons would be-
ieve that such charming effects could
be produced with such material.
Crocheted lambrequins cover the cur
tains at each window, and baskets filed
with zephyr wool flowers hang from the
center. Harps, crosses, anchors,
wreaths of flowers, and festoons of
vines, are placed between large tablets
of artistic designs, grazing tho walls
like ancient tapestry, and inscribed
with scriptural selections. These tab
let's and inscriptions are composed of
various colored crimped tissue papers,
upon background of cloth. The let
tering is well executed, and no two in
scriptions are in the same character.
An immense ornament of flowers and
drapery is suspended from the center
of the ceiling, with two large arches of
flowers spanning the interior of the
church. The flowers look so fresh that
the beholder is almost tempted to
pluck regal lily, blushing rose, o
radiant dahlia, modest ferget-me-cot
or the lily of the valley with its fairy
bells. Who has done all this work? A
young widow, who made work-room
of an apartment near the entrance of
the church, and who not only decorat-
ed the walls during the week, but con-
Quoted service every Sunday for five
years, reading popular sermons from
the pulpit.

A BafIled Parent.

There is baffied old man in Williams
port, Pa, and he is disguised, too. It
seems that he learned that his daughter
intended to elope upon a certain even
ing with q lover upon whose suit he
frowned. So he locked his child up in
her room, and sat down stairs listening
for the sound of the lovers carriage
wheels.
But that disgraceful young man tied
rags around the tires of his sulky, so as
to muffle the noise, and he drove softly
up to the back gate. He then sent
boisterous, rickety hack around to the
front, and engaged the man to make as
much racket as he could for the money.
When the Infatuated father heard it
he rushed out with shotgun, just in
time to see female figure jump into
the hack and drive off. He fired two
rounds of buckshot at the concern,
rushed out and got his horse, and start
ed in pursuit.
Meanwhile the insidious outcast who
loved his daughter persuaded her to
slide down the lightning-rod, and then
fled away with her in an opposite di

of town, and he not only shot the driver,
but he burst the door open and dragged

for highway robbery and assault and
battery with intent to kill, and the pros

A Word About Marriage.

A physician writes the following SEN
sible advice: Ny profession has thrown
ne among women of all classes, and e1-
perience teaches me that God never
gave man a greater proof of His love
than to place woman here with him. Ny
advice is: Go and propose to the most
sensible girl you know of. If she says
yes, tell her how much your income is,
from what source derived, and tell her
you will divide the last dollar with her,
and love her with all your heart in The
bargain; then keep your promise. My
word for it that she will live within
your income, and to your last hour you
will regret that you did not marry
sooner. Gentlemen, DON'T worry about
feminine untruth. Just you be true to
her, love her sincerely and tell it
to her frequently, and q moro fond,
faithful, foolish slave you will never
meet anywhere. You won't deserve
her, know. but she will never sec it.
Now, throw aside pride and selfshness,
and see what will come of it.

All through the day, my love, watching thine
eye,
Holding thy hand in mine, will be nigh;
cannot cheer thee. love, yet will stay;
will be near thee, love all through the day.
All through the day, my love, seeking in vain
Wings for the hours that pass weighed with
pain;
All things are drear to thee, nothing is gay;
Yet am dear to thee, so will stay.
All through this day of ours, though il be long.
Opens for us no flowers, wakcns no song;
Reddens no Autumn leaf, wilhers the rose,
All through this day of ours unto its close.
Worn is thy frame, my love, wan is thy cheek
Low are thy accents, and broken and weak
Yet sweet are our silence, the words that we
say
Are sweet, as I sit by thee all through the day.
All through the day, my love, all through the
day,
Steals the swift shadow on, life fits away;
Soft will our sleep be then, happy 9nd lsght.
All through the night, my love all through
the night.
