Boys and the Farm.

Nothing but farmer" is a phrase
that is heard now and then in
America. 1t would probably be
heard in no other country short OF
Algiers. In the best, at least, Of the
older countries the tradesman, the
teacher, the mechanic-not to say
the commercial traveller : would
congratulate himself on the good
fortune that promoted him to the
social standing of a freehold farmer,
even though his acres should be few
enough to be counted on his fingers.
The notion that the man somehow
stands little higher who wears fine
linen and bends over a desk or a
counter than the man who wears
oyeralls and holds plow-handle, Is
a backwoods notion. Ii it has had
any Influences it doubtless has
had-in beguiling young men from
the farm to the shop, the mill and
the Office, it win not have it much
longer. AS a new-country senti-
ment it will go the way of the log
cabins, and the corduroy roads,
Good Company.

Mothers who have a time over their
babies during these warm days will very
often find that the trouble is caused by
having the little fellows too heavily clad.
This thing of wrapping up an infant in
no end of flannel and yards of domestic
aud such things is enough to make the
babies rebel and cause trouble without
end. In Spanish America, where infan-
tile diseases are as rare as in HindOO-
stan, babies of all classes and all
sizes toddle about naked nearly
the year round, and the Indians of Ia
maulipas, between Tampico and Matamo-
ras, raise an astonishing number of
brown bantlings, who are never troubled
with clothes till they are big enough to
carry garden stuff to city, where the
police enforce the apron regulation.

On the Pad.

Yesterday morning, Mr.. ]. S. Spindle,
who lives out on the San Antonio road,
near Fort "Stupendous Folly" came very
near losing two good work horses. His
little sons, sprightly, energetic little fell
lows, have embarked in the dairy bust
ness, and are plying their vocation with
vim that bids fair to bring TO them
rich harvest. Their work necessitates
rising at an hour that would throw
city boy into no end of fits,
and yesterday morning they got
up at ten minutes before o'clock
to do milking and prepare to make their
daily trip to the city. One of the boys
proceeded to an enclosure where the
calves are turned at night to Craze, for
the purpose of driving them up to the
milk-pens. A portion of the fence in
closing the pasture is q common rail fence,
and he was surprised to find at one place
It had been carefully laiddown. There
were three horses staked inside, and the
boy, looking in the direction where they
were, was astonished to see
MAN
comfortably perehed upon the DacK
of one and leading another. He
had just mounted and was making in
the direction of the gap. The little fel-
low who discovered him followed to his
brother, who had remained at the milk
pen, that man was riding off the horses.
The thief heard him, and hastily dis
mounted, and jumping the fence made on
at rapid gait through corn field
Had the boys been few min.
utes later getting up, the thief would
have got away with their horses, and
bringing them to the city would have dis
posed of them to some one at low price
if it took them all summer. AS horse
mart where crooked dealing is the order
and absolute indifference shown by the Of
ficers of the law, this city caps the climax
and stands at the head of the list. Wha
are the officers doing?
