Watering Cattle IN Winter

The cheapest way to do this is 10 pnmp
the water into an elevated tank near
which is stove, run an inch steam pine
from the water in the lower end of the
tank through the fire in the stove, and
return it to enter the tank near the top !:
the fire very rapidly heats the water in
that portion Of the pipe which is in the
fire; this sets it in motion and drives it
up into the tank through the upper pipe,
while it is kept filled by stream of cold
water running through the pipe from the
bottom of the tank. With heater like
this it is wonderful how much water a
small amount of wood will heat The
expense is small if one has an old stove
which they can use, and as it is impossi-

The Little Kings and Queens,

Monarchs whose kingdom no man bound
No leagues uph I'D, no conquest spread
Whose thrones 9 any mOssy mounds,
Whose crowds are curls on sunny head
The only sovereigns on the earth
Whose sway Is certain to endure:
No line of kings of kingiesi birth
Is OF its reigning half so sure.
No fortress built in all the land
So strong they can not storm it free;
No palace made too rich. too grand,
For them to roam trlumphantly.
No tyrant 80 hard hearted known
Can their diplomacy resist;
They can usurp his very throne:
He abdcates when he is kissed.
No hoyel in the world so small
So meanly built, SO squalid, bare.
They will not go within its wall,
And set their reign of splendor there
No heggar too forl"rn and poor
To give them all they need to thrive
Thy frolc in his yard and door,
The happiest kings and queens alive.
Oh. blessed little kings and queens.
The only sovereigns in the earth
Their sovereignty nor rests nor leans
On pomp Of riches OF of birth,
Nor ends when cruel death lays low
In dust each llttle curry head
All other soverelgns cTopnitss go,
Aud are forgotten, when they'r dead
But these hold changeless empire past.
Triumphant past, all earthly scenes
We worship, truest TO the last

A MEDLEY FROM THE BATTLE FIELD. OUR FIRST
sKfKMIsH
On the 10Th Of September, two days after the
battle of Antietam fought, there was great ex-
element in our regiment as We were ordered to
the Potomac river to follow up the retreat of
General Lee. This was a new experience to us.
Up to this time we had not been in the advance;
We had seen our comrades fight and 60 down in
the smoke Of battle; but now We were TO expert
ence that which heretofore we had only seen The
regiment quickly obeyed the order to fail in"
Then the command, by the right flank, march"
was given, aud away went Our division soon
reached the Potomac river, and began crossing at
Shepardstown fords The river was wide, the
ter deep, the current swift, and the ledges upon
which We walked were narrow, that our cross
ing was necessarily very slow but we finally
reached the Virginia shore. Not gun had been
tired aud not an enemy was to be seen. Our regi-
mental line was formed upon the bank Of the
river, and we began to climb steep bluff that rose
some two hundred feet above the water Before
the ascent was completed we heard heavy firing up
the river on our right, showing that those who
crossed above had encountered the enemy
With a desperate resolution that the rebellion
must be crushed, we scrambled to the top,
and our line was quickly reformed upon its crest
dense forest in our immediate front. The
firing on our right had increased gray forms
seen fitting among the trees before us-pu4fs of
white smoke suddenly burst oat from the forest,
and the uncomfortable zip-zip Of leaden messen-
gers over our heads warned US that the enemy
meant business. We returned the fire and sent
our bullets wherever could see gray form for
a target and we're about to advance on charge,
when an order came for us to get down over the
bluff and recross the river as rapidly possible
and down through rocks and trees ran The

ADJUSTMENTS.
Anuie PixIey as t" MISS

Last night Miss Annie Pixley played at
the Memphis Theater before an enthusiastic
audience in N'Gss, the Child of the SieTros.
Bret Harte has drawn in this character one
of the most delightful OF all his creations,
and has given us a real child of the Sierras
To have drawn such 4 character is of
more value than everything that Mark
Twain has written, for "M'iiss " is
6. character that awakes the sympathy
in every mans nature; and it is not difficult
for one 10 imagine that the breeze fresh from
the pine forest has kissed her cheeks, and
that while she is as passionate a. a little
tigress, she is as pure as the glittering snow
upon the Sierras. Miss Pixley is almost the
counterpart of Bret Harteis fine conception
BESIDES having the personal appearance Tor
the character, she sings with great dash and
heartiness. OF all the Sotsbre1es she is the
best singer. Her play is little
above the average, because it
draws upon not only Harte's sketch of
1fiiss, but also upon his finely humorous
story, Mrs. SEaqgs's H,ssbond. Old BuBsn,eT
Smith is taken entirely from the latter sketch.
Not even the crudeness of the plays con
struction can mar the dialogue of the best of
merican humorists Miss Pixley is sup
ported by an excellent company, "Yubs
Bill, f" "Judge Beeswinger," Juan Walters"
and the actor being especially well drawn.
