DAILY HERALD.
LIFE is BUT A DREAM"
written at suggestion and request Of friend

Life is but a dream
Fading, tickle, fieeting,
Filled with fancies bright,
Baseless visions thronging;
But mirage CLEAN
Beck'ning, Turing, cheating;
Melting from the sight.
With its CLINT OF longing.
Evanesccnt, gone
With its flush of glory,
With its quivering blaze
Fierce, or faint, or tender;
Like the stars at dawn,
Like the bright Aurora,
Melting from the gaze
Like the raidbow's splendor.
Like the fading dyes,
Still that ever vary
OF the sunset rays
Mirrored on the river,
Haunting evening skies;
Dazzling momentary,
Like the lightning blaze,
Seen and gone forever.
Fading every scheme,
Mocking with confusion,
Lingering but span,
Fleeing in derision;
Life is but dream,
But brief illusion,
Ended, scarce began
But changeful vision.
As the dewdrop's beam,
Glittering in the morning;
As the shadows fly
Ger the mirror-river;
As the lightning's CLEAN,
Dying with its warning;
Brief as zephyr's sigh,
Heard and gone forever
Melting into gloom,
Like the meteor trailing
Through the night o'erhead
In the skies o'erbending;
Like the roses bloom,
Perishing and paling,
Flush and fragrance fled
Ere the Summers ending.
Like the vapory cloud
With its iilmy brightness
Floating DER the meadow,
|, Drifting DER the stream;
Clean and pail and shroud,
Essence of all lightness,-
Man is but shadow,
Life is but dream

4 few Iays ago poor frienlless lad
might have been seen wandering along
the streets looking for employment. He
presently halted in front of butcher
shop and walking boldly upto the pro-
prleter asked for job. There was
something in the young mans frank,
honest countenanee which struck the
proprietor favorably.
"Not afraid of hard work." he asked.
"No." responded the lad with trem-
bling Voice, II have supported my mo-
ther and two sisters for five years by
hard work"
He was put Oh trial at s5 week
maulng leathery beef. and his sturdy
frame and healthy constitution came in
good play. One day an old lady came
in to get some beef, and the proprietor
told him to attend to the customer.
"A tenderloin steak. if you please, I"
said she.
Heres a I0ut that nobody but the
first families get" responded the boy
smilingly as he sliced OFF four pounds
of tough round aud cast it with IL heavy
hand OH the scales. jamming it down
with quick dexterous movement until
the indicator marked six even pounds.
Then he snatched if off before the deli
cate machinery used to weigh beef had
| time to recoil.
''Six pound. and half, madam" he
said, locking her in the face with his
clear, blue eyes.
The proprietor of the stall called him
in that night, and remarking that he had
watched his course carefully added that
as reward for his quick, comprehcn
sivc grasp of the business lie would raise
his salary to $24 week. This shows
the advantage of doing everything we'll,
and when the boys mother back in New
Jersey hears of his success there will b.
JOY in that household. Young me1

themselves to their surroundings ant

Winter ShOeiug of Horses

During the constant employment of
horses in my business during the past
ten years I have noticed that all smiths
are inclined to sharpen horses shoes or
draw the 'calk' square with the back end
or heel. This is wrong. The 'calk' Oh
the shoes of all horses should be squared
to tho front end of the SHOE. It is we'll
known that all travelling or fast 'horses'
strike their feet upon the earth with
such force that they slide forward little
after stricking. Wearing shoes with
the calks' leaniug backward would7not
only prevent this motion, but when
travelling on hard substances would have
tendency to shock the limb by strik
ing against instead of mol 6ng forward,
and sliding into the ice or s1fSw as would
be the tendency if the 'calks' were
squared to the front end of the shoe,
thus assisting the horse instead of being
an impediment TO his rapid motion. 1
am sure that all draught horses in their
hard pulls, depend more upon the toe

the back end Of the shoe, after being
| somewhat worn and having become /,
| little smooth. it will be much more like
" to give way and allow the horse to
fall on his knees than if squared to the
front of the shoe. Again I never had or
ever saw horse brought to his knees
during the hardest service at any season
of the year except by giving way OF the
toe 'calk.' All observing persons, who
use heavy horses, know in what position
the latter place their feet when they at
tempt. to make their greatest effort.
would ask all such to consider what
would be the difference in their chances
of success, whether the toe 'calk' on the
horse leaned forward or backward. Who
has not seen, in all our large cities, team
and car horses after failing in their frs
efforts refuse to make another, having
lost oil their confidence in the toe calls

RArbeu Vine for Fencing.

Experience has demonstrated the prac-
teal value of the following suggestions
for constructing barbed-w wire fence Set
substantial posts one rod apart the
post at the starting point should be
braced by cutting notch in it two aud a
half feet from the ground and running u
strong pole from the notch to the foot
of the second post, where it is fitted to
rest firmly and is supported about three
inches above the ground by means Of Il
short block driven down beside the
fence post. This method Of bracing
should be repeated once III forty rods.
a faulty construction would bc to cut q
notch i'll the starting point four feet
from the ground; make the brace short

brace acts rs u fulerum to lift the initial
post. When.the posts are set a wire il
wrapped firmly around the first post,
our feet and two inches from the ground
then the coil is unrolled forty rods and
the wire drawn tight by means Of q Sc,

this wire has been security stapled, {
