The MOST ENDURING TRNcEs.--O
ali fences the most enduring and the
most satisfying to the eye is the stone
wall. II It's foundation is we'll laid 1t
ihsy last as long as the world-wh hich,
Indeed, 1t may slowly sink into; or the
accommodating layers Of earth may in
years cover it; butit will still be q wall
"A grassy Iidge with a core OF stone.
A wall soon gets rid OF its new look.
lI ts not propped up on the earth, but
has Its foundations In 1t; MOSES and
iichens take quickly and kindly to it,
and grass anu weeds grow out of It's
lower crevices, mullen and brakes and
the bulby stalks OF goldsn-rod spring
up beside 1t: Black raspberry bushes
loop along 1t, over it, and stretch out
IRON 1t, elumps OF sweet elders, shade
its sides, and their broad cymes of bios
soms, and later, clusters OF blackber-
RES, beloved Of robins and school boys,
bond over 1t. When the stones Of
which 1t Is built are gathered from the
1elds, as they generally are, they are
ot infinite variety, brought from the
tar North by glanciers, washed up by
the waves OF ancient seas, and tumbled
down to the lower lands from the over
hanging lodges. Lumps OF gray
granite and gneiss, and dull-red blocks
or sandstone, fragments OF blue lime
stone, and only geologist knows how
many others, mostly with smooth-worn
sides and rounded corners and edges.
All together, they make , line of beau
tiful variegated color, and OF light and
shade, One old wall that know OF
has been rich mine for brood OF cal
low geologists, who have pecked 1t and
overhauled it, and looked and talked
mostly wisely over Its stones, and
called them names hard enough TO
break their stony hearts.
SOME THINGS FARMERS SHOULD
KNOW As general thing the farmer
Is liable for all the public injury his
hired man may cause while actually
employed by him. Ii he sends him
into his lot to burn old brush, and he,
for any purpose whatever leaves 1t and
the fire runs into his neighbours, de-
stroying his fence and injuring his
cl ops the farmer Is liable for the DAM
ages caused by the wanton neglect Of
his man. II he sends hired man on
the road with his team, and he, by
negligence, runs into another vehicle
and Injuries 1t, the farmer Is liable for
the damages; but should the hired man
leave the road he was directed to go,
and travel another road for his own
pleasure, then the farmer would not be
liable for the damages should any acci-
dent occur. IT hired man, in going
to or from the lot with scythe, and
by tho careless handling or carrying
Injuries pas.er-by, the larmer is
liable for damage. If In cutting wood
the hired man cuts down q tree In
another lot, the farmer Is liable for
trespass and damages, although he dis
tinctly showed him the boundary; and
though the man may have cut the tree
with IN. II iousness, run ilto team ,even
II it block his way, yet the farmer mus
pay the damage, though done contrary
to his positive order. In all these
Gases the farmer can compel the hired
man to pay him back if he has any
thing to pay 1t with; but this is rarely
the case unless the farmer keeps back
his wages and only settles when his
time expires.

Put to Flight.

Mr. Edwards, who lives on the Roswell
road, had a COW to run mad from the bite OF
a rabid dog. Mr. Edwards son went into
the field and not knowing that the cow was
mad was somewhat astonshed to see her
former gentle qualities transformed into the
most vicious and hostile. Her antics and
fits alarmed the young man, and he went to
the house and informed his father, and the
father went down to see what was the mat
ter with his cow. Approaching very near,
he was surprised to see the cow make for
him at full speed, with head lowered, ready
to use her horns. The corpulency of the
old gentleman was no longer hindrance
to locomotion and he made the fastest
time on record. " leaving his feet footed son
far behind The COW was so close to the
son that he had to take to a small sapling,
which bent and swayed SO that it kept the
young man lodging to keep out of the reach
of the Infatuated COW. He yelled to his
father to fling rock at her so can get
down and climb another tree" The ludi-
crousness of the affair excited Mr.. Edwards
rlsibles to such an extent that he could only
laugh at the fright of his son as he swung
round on the bush. The cow was finally
driven off and fell into deep ditch. where
she died, much to the relief of ALL

Summer Necessaries.

The Summer number of Ehrichs Fashion
Quarterly presents its readers with a manif-
cent chrome Autograph picture illnstra-
tive Of the fashions of the season, and exc
cuted in the finest style. The special merit
claimed for this picture, by the publishers
is that it is an exact reproduction of actual
costumes, and not a fancy picture whose
original existed only in the brain of a Pa
risian artist or designer A full description
of the costumes is given in the pages of the
magazine.
Besides this the Quarterly" contains
the usual installment Of good things for the
ladies, illustrations and descriptions of suits
for ladies' misses, and children, of hair
goods tourist articles, summer sports and
pastimes and hundreds Of other items in
every department of household economy.
In every case the prices are plainly stated
so that lady going on a shopping expedi
ton in any city of the Union, may know
beforehand, not only what things she ought
to buy to be in the fashion, but also what
prices she should fairly be charged for them.
A feature of the Fashion Quarterly" is
its system of combination subscriptions. by
which the QUARTERLY" is actually sent free
of charge. The publishers receive subscrip-
tons to all the prominent monthly and
weekly periodicals at the regular rates and
as premium on each subscription so sent,
they undertake to send their own magazine,
for one year, free of charge, to any address
desired. Published by Enrich BROTHERS,
2S7 to 295 Eighth Avenue New York, at
so cents per year, or 10 cents per copy.

INDIAN DEpREDATIoNs.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks of
of the settlers wife watching, from the door Of
her rude hut the retreating form of her husband
going to his daily labor-going out perhaps to
return not again, for before nightfall savage
hand may have laid him low among the prairie
grasses Or it may be a child, a bright eyed
daughter, il snatched away in an unguarded
moment, TO grace the next war dance. When
we read tho heart rendng details of these say
age depredations we are apt to blame the gov
eminent for not taking more strict precautions
to insure the settlers protection But we daily
read of the depredatlons of that arch iiend con
