Texas Mustangs.

The Rev. w. H. H. Murray has eyi
IDENTIFY found employment that he likes
in Texas horse breeding. He writes en-
Enthusiastically to the Boston Herald thai
Texas is just the place for the business
and that the tough little mustangs are
the right stock to take hold of for i'm,
provement. He declares that they trace
their origin back to trace of equine
kings and queens" and have only dete
riorated under hard usage. 81 have
seen these little S0O-pound horses" he
says, Gravel so miles, with 1S0-pound
man up, under a Southern sun, in a ride
across country, without roadways, from
sun to sun, and that, too, with little
grain, perhaps nothing but the grass
they can get from the prairie at night.
Many Of them pace-pace like the wind
pace so fast that they play with you
on the prairie, though you have blood
ed mount that can run like greyhound.
Others trot-trot naturally-with stiles
well out and perfect knee action, and
will do nothing but trot, however hard
pressed. 1 have raced through the
prairie grasses and flowers at the rump
of mustang stallion 153 hands high,
and blood bay in color, with tail black
as night and that would sweep the
ground afoot, and been unable to break
him from his trot or range up to his
side, although my mount was a three
quarter bred mare of LOO pounds
weight that took to the chase with her
eyes blazing and ears laid back in way
that plainly told her rider that she felt
a good deal as he did" Mr.. Murray
advises cross from thoroughbred
stallion, believing that it would increase
the size without losing toughness, and
produce the best saddle horses as well
as trotters.

Some of our readers may be inter.
ested in reading the following account
of the marvellous tenacity of life shown
by fox terrier under the following cir
cumstances: One day the dog was with
my keeper in wood. He made bolt
after a rabbit which crossed the shoot
ing path, and went into the covert after
him. The keeper called and whistled,
but Joe, usually the most obedient of
dogs, answered not, nor could he be
found anywhere. For some days and
nights search was made for poor Joe,
for he is great favorite. The search,
however, was in vain, and Joe was given
up as lost. Ny keeper had no doubt
that the dog had got into hole after
the rabbit, and had by digging buried
himself, and so perished. Three days
afterward some workmen, engaged in
the next wood, heard dog barking as
if in distress. / heard the cries of the
the animal myself, and one of the men
(the keepers SOM went in the direction
of the sounds to see what was the mat
ter. The sounds led him to large rab-
bit run, and then the barking ceased.
BY putting his head to the ground he
could distinctly hear the animal breath
ing. He ran for "pick," and in a short
time dug out poor old Joe, worn to
skeleton, his eyes choked with earth
and unable to stand. The dog had dug
himself toward an outlet, and would
have dug himself out, but was stopped
by root of tree across the hole. The
poor animal licked the mans hand to
show his gratitude at being released,
but had no strength to do more. He
was taken to the keepers house and fed
sparingly at first He soon recovered,
and is now brisk and well as ever. Joe
was thirteen days and thirteen nights
underground, and during that time
could not have had drop Of water to
drink, or anything to eat either unless
he devoured rabbit, which is not
likely. London Field.

HOW KATE SHELLY SAVED THE
TRAIN.

Crossing n R-''rOHd Bridge in n Gale at
Night 10 Reach the Telegraph Onlce.
On the night when O'Neil, Donahue,
and Olmstead went down to death, a
noble girl, but fifteen years of age, was
watching for the safety of those whose
duty called them out over the railroad
in the fearful storm. Kate Shelly,
whose father was killed on the railroad
some years ago, lives with her mother
just on the east side Of the river, and
nearly opposite where the engine made
the fearful plunge and Donahue and
Olmstead lost their lives. Miss Shelly
and her mother heard the crash, and,
realizing what had happened, Kate took
lantern and started for the wreck. Her
light soon went out, but she felt her way
through the woods and fallen timbers
to the edge of the dashing waters that
covered the drowned men. She could
hear, above the roar of the storm, the
voice of Wood, the engineer, who had
caught in tree top. She knew that the
express, with its load of passengers, was
nearly due. She, young girl, was the
only living being who could prevent an
awful catastrophe. The telegraph Office
at Moingona or Boone was the only
place where she could notify the officers.
To Boone was five miles over hills and
through the woods, and before she could
get there the express wouldhave passed.
To Moingona was only q mile, but
between here and Moingona was the Des
Moines river, ten or fifteen feet above
its natural height, and to cross this she
must pass over the railroad bridge, fifty
feet above the swollen waters. She
must cross this bridge, 400 feet long,
with nothing but the ties and rails, the
wind blowing a gale. Not one man in
a thousand but would have shrunk from
such task, But this brave girl gath
cred about her her flowing skirts, and
on hands and knees crawed over the
long bridge from tie to tie. With the
blood from her lacerated knees staining
her dress, she reached the shore, and
ran the remaining half-mile to the tele-
graph Office. Breathless, and in broken
accents, she told her story and tainted
in the arms of the bystanders. The
wires were set at work and a more hor-
rible disaster was averted.- ogden Re-
porter.

Disparaging the Prophets.

It is just as we'll to bear in mind,
when you read the wild representations
of Mr.. Yennor and his great rival, that
q rain fifteen hundred miles square no
more makes a rainy day on this cont.
nent than n Ay-speck on the dome of
the capital makes the District of CO.
lumbia, or even all of the dome, black.
Anybody can say, "there will be rain
and thunder-storms and cyclones in the
United States during July" and it
would be mighty safe thing to bet
money on. What we want, what the
country clamors for, is man who can
tell us when and where the cyclone is
going to strike, and whom it will hit.
And up to date that man hasn't said o
word about the weather.

The Men Who Succeed,

The great difference among men, OF
all callings, is energy of character or
the want of it. Given the same amount
of learning and integrity, and the same
opportunities, and energy will make
one man a conqueror. The want of it
will see the other failure. Dead-beats
are all men without force. They had as
good a chance as any of their compan-
ions. Others went ahead and carried
off the prizes, while they were lying by
the way-side dispirited and respondent.
1t takes nerve, vim, perseverance, pa
tient continuance in well-doing, to win
a great prize. And the young man who
goes into a profession without this
pluck and force will not earn salt to his
porridge. He will drag along through
life with the help Of friends, getting
some credit with them for being o we'll
meaning man, in delicate health and
unlucky. The real trouble is he lacks
energy. This is just as true of the min
lister as of the lawyer or physician.
Piety is not enough, and piety with
much learning is not enough. All the
Greek and Hebrew in the world will not
qualify man for usefulness in the min
istry. 1t wants push, stamina, vigor
courage, resolution, will, determination
in one word, energy. II the youth
knows little Greek, he knows what
en- crgos means, and without IL DIR. PARIS
knowledge of Greek will not help him
10 usefulness or success in the pulpit

MIDNIGHT FOOTSTEPS.
AN OLD LOVE STORY.

In an ancient Northumberland man.
sion two ladies sat by the fire. The
elder lady and she was very old, but
as brisk as n bee-sat at large wri-
ting table and turned over numerous
papers by the light of the wax candles
that stood near in heavy silver candle
sticks. The younger lady, and she was
gently approaching fifty, was engaged
with long piece of flannel, from which
she was measuring off petticoats for the
poor. Any winter evening for twenty
years past the widowed Mrs. Crosby
and her neice, Miss Dora Grimble,
might have been found similarly en-
ployed, the aunt ruling her estate with
a firm hand from that writing table, and
the maiden niece organizing the fem
inine charities of the house.
Scandalous That fellow Smith in
trouble again and can't pay his rent.
Soon see about that idle rascal !" said
Mrs. Crosby.
"Only fortnight to club day; Won
der if these petticoats will be ready for
the women ?" queried Miss Dora.
"Send them up to tho school; they
can just be made there"
"They're making surplices for the
choir can't do both"
"Bah! Surplices, indeed. Petticoats
are much more used, and I'm sure that
poor miserable rector is as much at the
mercy of those women as if he was in
petticoats himself"
"Aunt" demonstrated Miss Dora,
"you can't expect man to know all
that woman generally looks after"
"He ought to if he hasn't got a
woman to help him. How do I know
all about what a man generally sees
after p
At this moment the door was
thrown open, and the butler announced
the rector.
Mr.. Preedy was very quiet, mild
looking man of fifty. He came in ner-
vously, for he was always uncertain un-
til he had been greeted, whether his
powerful parishioner intended to snap
at him or to pat him on the back-met-
aphorically, He now received her gra-
cious shake of the hand with purT Of
qualification.
"Don't let me disturb you. Was just
passing-ahem, ahp And then the SEN
tence died away in an almost inaudible
whisper of selfevident fact, namely,
that he had "looked in"
"Quite right; sit down. I'm busy,
but Dolly can talk to you"
Very easily he approached "Dolly,"
and seated himself on ono side of the
targe work basket, hands folded on his
knees and eyes resting in fond admira-
ion on the heaps Of flannel.
"Always busy and always useful" he
murmured, gently.
Miss Dorothy maiden hand twitched,
and she cut tho flannel in a wrong
place.
Excuse me- she said, rising in
some confusion, 81 forgot to leave out
some medicine for Mrs, Brown, ] will
return presently"

Summer.

Beautiful, laughing summer,
With shafts Of golden light,
Lodged in the trees where the whispering
breeze
Is tanning a world so bright.
See how the yellow sunbeams
Chase all the shadows away,
While birds and flowers and pearly showers
Wake up the perfect day
Tho pearl-gems that sparkle at evening
Bright diamonds seem at morn, .
Where sunbeams float like golden moats
Among the shadowy com.
The wild rose leans from the hedges,
Buttercups glow like gold,
While lily-bells in bosky dells,
The mystery Of summer unfold.
The sweet fern haunteth the forest
And the yine-entangled glade,
And sunbeams make of tangled brake
Quaint pictures of light and shade;
The merry song of the reapers
Comes DER the yellow maize,
As they bind the sheaves mid falling leaves
OF the golden harvest days.
The tickle signing zephyrs
Now whispering TO the trees,
In shadowy bowers, make love to flowers
Already 'trothed to the bees.
The red-cup moss is springing
From out the emerald sedge,
And violets blue, begemmed with dew,
Shine by the waters edge.
The brooklet with babble and chatter
Comes from the purple hill,
The wavelets CLEAN like broken dreams
Where shadows are long and still.
Then it dimples, and bubbles, and babbles,
And laughs laugh so sweet
As it breaks into spray and throws it away
Into diamond drops at our feet.
The glittring spray in the sunlight
Seems strung ON golden thread,
And the bright world CLEANS like book of
dreams
A volume of joy unread.
The world seems full of music,
A joyous melody,
The wild birds sing till the woodlands ring
With echoes wild and free.
The breeze sings soft the chorus,
The bees take up the strain,
The waves keep time with silvery chime,
A liquid like refrain.
But see, from the distant hillside
FSdeth the purple light,
Thro' vale of mist, two lovers have kissed,
And Day is welded to Night
