favor of the witticisms of John b. Tai

the printers of Lynn, accompanying tho
gift with the following note

A Wild Ride,

Recently there was a "rodeo" out OIL
Lost river, Lake county, Oregon
Ranchmen had gathered for a circuit o.
seventy-fve miles to claim and brand
their young cattle, and when a Gordon
of men had surrounded a large band,
among which was a Spanish bull, a dis.
pute arose about a 6 mallet head" OF
calf that had escaped the spring brand,
ing. The discussion grew warm, none
of the stockholders being Gble to sci
a valid claim or establish an undoubted
title. At last ip a spirit of bravado, 0
rancher proposed that whoever would
ride the bull without saddle or halter
should be declared owner of the calf.
There wa a yell of approval but not q
general stampede of volunteers, fol-
taurus was in ill-humor, and his foam
ing mouth and bloodshot eyes gave
token that whoever rode him would
have a ride as wild as Mazeppa's, ard
one that might not end so well. kt
last a "vaquero' named Prick accepted
the challenge and the wild bull was i'm.
mcdiately lassoed and held by a lariat
round horn and foot. Dismounting
from his horse the vaquero fastened his
long-roweled spurs securely, tied a
handkerchief round his head, ap.
preached the Infatuated animal, and
grlsping the tail il his hands sprang
lightly on it, setting the spurs deeply
in its tanks as he settled securely in
his seat. The lariats we're slackened;
the bull gave a roar of rage and terror
and flung his head to the ground; but
the rider had his back to the horns and
a firm grip on the tail, and kept his
seat. Another roar that shook the
ground, a wild plunge, and the now
naddencd bull shot out across the sage
plain with lightning speed, his plucky
rider twisting the tail that to him was
a sheet anchor until the bellowipgs
we're lost in the wind. For over n mile
aud a half the race continued, amid the
excited cheers of the vaquero's com
rpdes. Occasionally the bull gave o
desperate plunge through a heavy
lump Of sage in the vain attempt to
id himself of his tormentor, but the
pDg rowels only chung firmly to
lis TANKS. Sometimes the animal and
rider were hidden by fluctuations in the
ground, and bets were even made that
Frick would be thrown and gored; but
at last the bull, exhausted from sheer
right, fell, and the plucky vaquero,
topping lightly of, returned to CLAIM
his prize, which was unanimousl,
,warded.

Some LITERARY Feats.

In n year Dryden produced four OF
his greatest works: " Absalom ard Achi-
zophel," "The Medal" The Religio
Laici" and "Mac Flecknoe." He was
only six months in writing "The Hind
and Panther" three years in translating
the whole of Virgil" and twelve morn
ings in composing his " Parallel Be
tween Poetry and Painting" The org
inal draught of "Alexander's Feast" was
struck off at a single sitting. DIR. john
sons /" Rasselas" was written in n week
to defray the expenses of his mother's
funeral. Sir Walter SCOTS rapidity is
one of the marvels Of literature; he
wrote literally as fast as the pen could
move, and when he dictated his aman-
uensis could hardly keep pace with
him. The original manuscripts OF the
Waverly novels may still be seen; they
are frequently for many pages unde-
formed by a single blot or erasure.
Beckford's " Vathek" was completed by
the unbroken exertion of three whole
days and three whole nights, the author
supp orting himself during his unnatural
vigil by copious ~draughts of wine, and
what adds to the wonder is that the
work was written in French. Mrs.
Browning's "Lady Geraldine's Court
ship" a poem Of great length ina pecu-
liarly difficult meter, was completed in
twelve hours, while the printer was wait
ing to put it linotype.
Steele and Fielding wrote many Of
their essays while the press was waiting.
Johnson, like Gibbon, wrote at first
with labor, but afterward found that,
with practice, a stately and highly
finished style came as naturally as ordi.
nary expression comes to ordinary peo-
pie. We learn, for example, that some
of the best papers in the RAMBLER"
were penned as easily as a letter-that
torty-eight octave pages of the "Life Of
Savage" a singularly polished work,
we're completed at a sitting, and that
the olives Of the Poets" cost him no
more trouble than a slipshod article
costs a professional journalist. But
Johnson was, We may add, indefatigable
in revising. Ben Jonson tells us that
he wrote "The Alchymist" in six
weeks; Fenelon that "Telemaque" was
produced in three months, and Brough,
am that his Edinburg Reciew articles
averaged a lew hours. But the most
portentous example of literary fecundity
On record is, beyond question, to be
found in the person of Lope de Vega.
He thought nothing CT writing a play in
u couple of days, a light farce in an
hour or two, and in the curse Of his
life he furnished the stage of Spain
with upward of 1000 original dramas.

nary man was the author of at least

A New White Crime.

The Boston CuAiratw gives a drawing
and description of a new white grape
named 'The Prentiss," after the intro
ducer, ]. W. Prentiss, of Steuben coun.
ty, New York, which is from seed Of the
Isabella. 1t is now, for the first time,
offered to the public. The owners have
well tested it for years, recommend it
as a hardy white grape Of best quality,
good grower, very productive, and as
free from disease as any of the grapes Of
good quality. Being a pure native seed
ling, it is not subject to disease, as are
many Of the grapes of best quality
which were produced by crossing native
with foreign varieties. 1t is not, how
ever, expected that it will succeed
everywhere, nor is it claimed to be a
grape that will succeed over as wide q
range of territory as the Concord; but
it is recommended for planting in ordi-
narily good grape regions, and by those
who want something that is really good.
1t has also proved a very profitable mar
ket grape for good gr~ape-growing local
tiles.
Its description as given by the grower
is as follows: Bunch large, not often
shouldered, compact. Berry medium
to large, yellowish green, sometimes
with a rosy tint on side next to sun, skin
thin but very firm. Flesh tender, sweet,
melting juicy, with a very pleasant and
musky aroma, free from foxiness little
if any pulp, seeds few and small, very
similar to Rebecca in quality, but the
vine a vigorous grower, and foliage very
distinctfrom Rebecca. Foliage healthy,
thick, resembling Diana or Isabella,
showing its native origin. Vine a good
grower, and very productive, inclined to
overbear. Clusters should be thinned,
unless pruned close. Vine hardy and
buds uninjured with thermometer fif-
teen to twenty degrees below zero. The
grape is an excellent keeper, and ripens
with the Concord.

The Hogs for the Fnrmcr.

In treating of this subject, we start
out with the proposition that it will not
pay to raise big hogs; they cost too
much to feed, take too long in coming
to maturity, and the risk is too great.
The two most profitable breeds for the
farmer to raise are the Essex and SUI
folks. Although generally classed with
the smaller breeds, they are larger than
the "No-Bones" and Yorkshires, and
while not so large rs the Poland Chinas
or improved Berkshires, are often made
to weigh from 400 to 500 pounds and
upwards. These two breeds originated
in England some half century ago, and
are remarkable for their fine bone and
small ollal, frequently dressing as high
rs ninety per cent. of their live weight,
which the Poland hinas or Berkshires
are not capable of doing. They are 50
remarkably quiet and gentle that no
other breed can be said to equal them in
this respect, They are also excellent
grazers, keeping nearly fat enough to
kill on clover, Being thoroughly estab-
lished breeds, they have the remarkable
popularity Of imparting their form, dis
position and qualities to their offspring,
the only difference between the two
breeds being hat the Essex are perfect
ly white, whilst both are admirably
adapted to a dry, hot climate. Neither
can be said to be a tender breed, as they
are found TO be rs hardy rs any pigs
equally well bred. The sows are not
only good breeders but good mothers.
These two breeds are especially recon-
mended for crossing with the common
stock Of the country, no breed equaling
them in this respect. Grades from either
of these breeds are easier and quicker
raised than the thoroughbreds, and
much heartier feeders. On the whole,
therefore, we think either Of these
breeds decidedly preferable for the far
mer to raise than either Of the larger
breeds, especially where corr is so inn
portant an article Of food MS it is this
side the great West. We have often
thought that a cross between the Essex
mud Suffolk would be perfection in the
hog line.

youth replied that he had not quite
made up his mind. In a moment there
was q sudden flash of the old Scotch
mans eye, a sudden pulling down Of the
shaggy eyebrows, and the stern face
grew sterner as he said "The man with
out a purpose in life is like a ship with
out a rudder; o waif, q mere nothing, q
no man. Have a purpose in life, if it is
only to kill and divide and sell oxen
well but have a purpose ; and having
it, throw such strength of mind and
