THE LAWS or LIVERY.

Differences between the livery stable ma
and tho hirer Of the horse are very frequent
and generally, though the owner Of the ami
nal may get pecuniary redress, it il the poor
brute that mostly suffers. To ride or drive
a borrowed Or hired horse to the devil has
become common saying. One or two res
cent English cases are worth commenting
upon, as showing that that very much abus-
ed person, the livery stable keeper, has GER
tain rights
A man hired horse and carriage at Fps.

drive to Colchester and return the same day,
q distance of twenty miles each way. The
person who had the horse and vehicle drove
not only to the place specified, but to town
ten miles further on--working the horse
sixty miles within the specified time of hir-

nary surgeon was of the opinion that the an
imal had been overdriven. The defendants
counsel argued that the agreement was to
drive through" Colchester, but the jury
did not thiak so, and the plaintiff won the
case, with a verdict of col, the value of the
horse.
Deviations from fixed route between two
places, when horse is hired and injury il
sustained by the livery-keeper, may bring
a penalty on the hirer Between New York

knows the distance. But if the hirer takes
roundabout ways to reach there, increasing
the distance travelled, knowing the proper or

BILE to damages. AS to damages to vehicles,
so constant with awkward drivers, it would
be quite wise if a tariff of charges were put
up in livery stables. Then man would
know before he started what his rig was
worth. - L0aoen Courier.

Is it curiosity concerning dead and past

her sympathetic pen, before they were sent
to the printer, Little did she or any one
else then know the "short serial by Mrs
Harriet Beecher Stowe" would become
into bulky book. Little did she dream
that the story, born largely of what she had
seen, was to become o potent lever in the
interest and for the emancipation of four
millions of human beings. Still less did she
imagine that the paltry sum she was to re-
ceive for the story would swell and extend
until in time it amounted to what was then
a colossal fortune. OF course, she didn't
think of basing play in that marvellous
story, but others did. l remember seeing
the Howards-George Howard as 81. CUR,
Mrs. Howard as I0psy and Little Cor
della Howard as Epa-when they played
it in Barnum's American Museum then

pleasant sense OF GOODNESS during the most

ROMANCE OF A PRETTY FOOT.

pretty foot, and when person can boast of
such possession he or she is very apt, il
poverty doesn't stand in the way, to make
the most of it, A pretty foot is fortune to
woman. Last year made pair of shoes
for lady who had as pretty feet as ever
were fashioned. 1t was pleasure for me
to make the shoes, and when they were fin
ished put them in the show window in
very conspicuous place, where ! could view
them at my leisure. Pretty soon nicely
dressed gentleman stopped and began look
ing at them very attentively. Presently he
entered the store and inquired il they were
for sale. told him no, that they were
made for one of my customers He looked
surprised and asked the lady's name. I
would not give him this much satisfaction,
but told him where she lived, however. /

POETRY.
FOR LOVES SAKE.

Sometimes am tempted to murmur
That life is 1itting away,
With only round Of trifies
Filling each busy day
busting the hooks and corners,
Making the house look fair,
And patiently taking on me
The burden Of woman's care.
Comforting childish sorrows,
And charming the childish hea,
With the simple song and story
Told With mothers art,
Setting the dear home table,
And clearing the meal away,
And going on little errands
In the twilight OF the day.
One day Is Just like anotheri
Sewing and piecing well
Little Jackets and trousers,
go neatly that none can tell
Where are the seams and joinings--
AMI the seamy side OF life
is kept out Of sight by the magic
OF many mother and wife.
And oft when am ready to murmur
That time is fitting away
With the self same round Of duties
Filling each busy day,
II comes TO my spirit sweetly,
With the grace OF a thought divine:
You are living and toiling for loves sake,
And the loving should never repine.
"You are guiding the little footsteps
In the way that they ought to walk,
You are dropping word for Jesus
In the midst OF your household talk;
Living your life for loves sake,
TIL the homely cares grew sweet.
And sacred the self-denial
That Is laid at the Masters feet

had said, and she had explained that il was
one of q pair that was made from gold that
her brother now dead had brought from the
mines.
"Have you lost the other" Tom had blurt-
ed out in his eagerness, and she had flushed
and trembled and had asked him to take
her to the house and had made him no ans
wer at all. I was much perplexed when
Tom told me this and feared that this girl
was involved in some painful mystery, and
as was afraid Tom was getting too much
interested in the girl, told him that he
ought to shHn her the bracelet and ask hen
to ask her before her mother or all those
people on the porch SO I, like deceitful
old woman, agreed to entice her into my
room. She had several times stopped and
chatted with me, and the next afternoon as
she passed my door called to her to come
in. She was not unwilling, and after few
moments Tom Neal came whistling along
the hall and stopped at my door,
why! Didn't you go sailing ?" asked,
deceitfully.

in and closed the door after him.

He took the trinket from his pocket, and

grown white to her lips, and when she saw
the bracelet on Toms hand, she gave wild
scream and fell down on the floor.
Well, I hope this excitement is about
