The Sentimental Editor.

A few evenings ago we saw q lovely
illustration of the adage. every cloud
has silver lining" The entire sky was
q dull gray, almost leaden, save in the
northwest, where there was an oblong
bank Of billowy clouds intensely black,
each having an edge Of bright silver
that deepened into gold. Around the
clouds the last rays Of the sun rested in
indescribable beauty. To our mind,
ever ready to forget the probabilities Of
existence and grasp at its beautiful
fancies, the scene was typical Of life and
death. The sky was life, the clouds
were the enormous sorrows that some
times darken it, the silver was the radi-
ant peace that God alone can give, and
the gold represented that happiness
merged into the perfect bliss Of heaven.
while the sun but family pictured the
glorious brightness Of the Sun Of right
eousness'' that turneth the light into
day and the shadows into night Cum
ming Goa Clarion.

Earned Z New Hat.

An instance in the later life Of the "a.
NOUS scout Kit Carson illustrates the
singular exactness of an old frontier
truckers opinion Of distance and time.
While he was acting as guide to CON-
pany Of Government soldiers following
the trail OF party of Apaches, he rode
up to the commanding officer one morn
ing, and said, Major, if no. accident
shall happen to prevent US, we are Ger
tain to 0vertake the Indians BY two O.
clock this afternoon. The signs are be-
coming SO fresh that l feel confident I
am not mistaken
Major Carlton replied that if his
words came true, he would present him
with the finest hat that could be pur-
chased in the United States. Strange
at it may appear, the Indians were found
at the hour which the guide had pre-
dicted.
Some time afterwards las it required
quite a length Of time to write and have
the commission exeouted-Kit Carson
was presented with a,superb hat, in
which there was very appropriate in

The River Amazon is the greatest
volume of water flowing through any
country Of the world; but it is but 5000
miles long, The Mississippi from Lake
Itaska to It's junction with the Missouri

the Gulf is 1926 miles, a total of 1902
miles; the Missouri runs 2,9O8 miles to
JUN the Mississippi, and. having had
given to it the length to the sea, is
4, 194 miles long. To the sacred river,
the Nile, must be given the credit of
running through the greatest stretch of

p@dia Of 1875" from which the previ-
ously quoted figures are taken, says:
1T is navigable as far as the district of
Fazogle, about 1900 miles from the
Mediterranean. Its approximate length
throughout all its windings from the
limit of steam navigation above Con-

length to Lake Albert N'Yanza can
scarcely be less than 200 miles, and,
consequently, the river traverses dis

The watch-fires of the warning sea.

To hear loud cries of anguish wild,
And see some gallant ship go downl
Not always creeps that magic spell
'Alpswell! Ais well!'
Among the green hills far away,

A careworn brow, with locks of gray,
Bright faces fair, with laughing eyes;

Those ever loved and cherished forms
Would some sweet bird the news could tell

4arrast's Polite Interruption,

Armand Marrast, who presided over
the deliberations of the French Cham
Der in 1848, once found p. m. about
to strike with an interminable speaker
in the tribune, who had been spouting
for three hours and not nearly made an
end of his weak, washy, everlasting
food. Everybody was hungry and in
despair, when suddenly bright thought
struck Marrast and leaning forward he
interrupted the orator with:
II will remind the honorable GENTLE
man that he is forget

Amid = frantic burst Of applause the

Stable Management.

Much depends upon the groom in the
management Of horses in the stable,
Frequently very poor grooms get con-
troll Of good horses, and the owner suf-
fers the loss resulting from their in
competency. It is more difficult to find
. competent groom than it is to find an
experienced farmer, skilled mechanic,
or practical sailor, because there is no
rule or mechanical standard by which
to determine the groom's competency.
An efficient groom will keep the stable
clean. and purified from the carbonic
acid gas generated from the lungs in
respiration, and the ammonia escaping
from the excrements, SO that the horses
will not breath these gases, which create
disease. He will arrange in all WAYS for
the comfort and good health of the ami
mails placed in his charge; he will have
"a place for everything and everything
in its place. he will be kind tempered,
humane to his horses, and faithful to his
employer, and will understand his busi-
ness, and have the honesty to execute
the trust with fidelity, vigilance, and
economy.
Feeding is one Of the most important
duties in the stable. Horses require to
be fed at regular hours, and in such
quantities as will keep the subjects in
condition to perform their daily labor.
Horses at work require about two per
cent, Of their live weight as the daily
allowance of food. From 16 to 10 lbs,
OF grain, and an equal weight of hay.
would be considered liberal allowance
for q large horse in full work. Small, or
idle horses, would not require more
than one-han of that amount. as the
quantity of food will depend upon the
size and amount of work required of
them. They must be fed enough to
supply the natural waste of the body,
and to re-supply the substance exhaust
ed by the labor performed. National
