Then the pace is even, and neither loses

Then the pace is even, and neither loses
nor gains.
There is something terribly grim in
following a man to his death. Not a
shout-not a call..not q rifle shot.
Thud thud thud over level and ridge
and always to the east. The sun mounts
higher and higher, and now and then
the hunter glarces back with faint
hope that the pursuit has been aban-
doRed. No! He might as we'll expect
wolf to quit the pursuit of a wounded
deer leaving its life blood to stain the
grass at every rod.
It is high noon.
The pursuit began over sixty miles
away, but the breeze brings to the hunt
er's ears that same monotony Of hCof
beats, and he chances back to see that same
dark line strung out at his heels. It
has become question of endurance. If
he can tire them out he will escape. He
shut his teeth anew, reaches forward to
| caress his horse
He is down! A burrow caught foot
as the horse sped onward and man and
animal Toll to the ground The race is
finished. The poor beast whinnies an
apology for his fall as he founders about
with broken leg, and the exultant
shouts of the redskins hardly reach the
hunters ears before he is down along
side the crippled horse and his rife
aimed at the approaching foe.
It is another bright, peaceful day.
Here are the same pure air, the same
blue sky, the same panorama OF grass
and flowers, and dimly outlined noun
tains.
A band of hunters are crossing the
prairie at steady gallop, instead OF a
single man riding for his life. A vulture
! rises up with u hOarse scream-a second
"a third, and the odor of decay reaches
the nostrils Of riders and horses The
band halts, rides to the lef', and pres
emily all look down upon a sight which
tells its own story. The swollen carcass
of a horse. the scalped and dis6gnred
body of ahunter-trampled grass-spots
of blood-broken ar1ows--the earth up
torn by hoofs.
One with sto' ter heart than tae
others dismounts and picks up dozen
f1atteDed bullets and score of arrow.
Then he circles round the spot and
gathers up the empty shells throw n out
by the hpnter's Wir chester. Bullets,
arrows and shells are deposited in a
heap by the corpse, and the man points
out one-tbree-five-seven spots on
the prairie where the trampled grass
and stains OF blood show the fall of
horse or man. Then in voice in which
sorrow and pride we're mingle d he whis-

FARM, GARDEN AND HOME,
OVerWOfked.

OverWOrked.
By ELLA WHEELER.
Up with the birds In the early morning
The dew-drop CLOVIS like precious gem:
Beautiful tnts in the skies are dawnine.
But she's never q moment to look at them.
The men are waiting their breakfast early;
She must not hnger, she must not wait;
For words that are sharp and looks that are surly
Are what the men give when the meals are late.
Oh, glorious colors the clouds are turning,
II she would out look over bills and trees;
But mere are tue dishes, and here is the chnrning
Those tnngS must always weld to these.
The world 1s filled with the wine Of beauty,
II she could but pause and drink 1t in;
But pleasure, she says, must wait for duty
Neglected work is committed sin.
The day grows hot, and her hands grow weary;
Oh, for an hour to cool her head,
Out with the birds and winds 30 CHEEKY!
But she must get dinner and make her bread.
The busy men In the hay field working,
II they saw her sitting With Idle hand,
Would think her lazy, and call it shrinking,
And sic never could make them understand.
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime,
They only know that they want their dinner,
Plenty of it, and just IS on time."
And after the sweeping and churning and baking,
And dinner dishes are all put by.
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and schores" draws nigh.
Her boys at school must look like others,
She says, as she patches their frocks and hose,
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect Of their childrens clothes.
Her husband comes from the field Of labor,
He gives No praise to his weary wife;
She's done no more than has her neighbor;
IT'S the lot Of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies ut rest;
The nations brain and heart and muscle
Her sons and daughters-shal call her blest.
And l think the sweetest joy Of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the fairest crown Of all, will be given
Unto the wayworn farmers wife.

THE DEACON,s PlsOTEs r.
THOMAS CAKES CoNANT.

THOMAS CAKES CoNANT.
Twas the hottest day Of midsummer;
The dog-star ragged on high,
The mercury scared in the nineties,
And the air was close aud dry.
Alone in its cleaning Wilderness,
In the broadest blaze Of day,
Stood the meeting house of Nemoseet,
At the parting Of the way.
No grove in the churchyard nourIshed,
Not even q single tee:
They said twas "sgin the Scriptur'
Fur grove nigh church to be. IN
And the air within was sitting,
As the SUMS unclouded glare
Poured down on its roof Of shingles,
And it's walls 80 white and bare.
But the people had ONE together
FROM their dwellings far aud near,
Arrayed in their Sunday homespun.
The Gospel trump 10 hear.
Now loud through tho OF EN- windows
To a rasping minor key,
Rolled the sonnd of a hymn Of Watts,
In chorus " wild and free.'
"No midnight shade," they were singing,
"No c'ouded un,"-ah mel
" But sacred, bigh, eternal"
Vas the "noon they sighed to sce!
The song died away, and thu preacher.
In somberest black arrayed,
Tall, dry and thin as pikestaff,
Rose up in the desk and prayed.
Then he read from the great church Bible
Somewhere in the Tentateuch,
And begaa the old Jews to harry
With many a keen Iebuke.
For their sins and their rcbellioIs
Against the Lord most high:
With the sword of mightiest logic
He smote them hip and thigh.
But never word he uttered
10 the living folk in sight;
His thoughts were all for the ancients,
Far back in the worlds long flight.
On the drowsy air his accents
Monotonous rose and fell,
Till they seemed, in their droning cadence.
Like the weaving Of spell.
But ere he had reached the "fourthly,"
Deacon Jones his eyes had closed;
And Smith, OF the sermon needless,
In s'umber sweet repose6.
And the rest they followed shortly,
TIL, Ill in the sacred pace,
Not IL single soul {save the rreachel)
But was locked In sleeps embrace!
The preacher paused for o moment
In kind Of daZcd surprise;
No sound broke the awful stiffness
But the buzz of drowsy flies.
Then he glared upon the sleepers,
And his voice in anger rose:
'Why sleep ye 500" be numbered;
"Are ye friends of God, Or foes?"
Up rose old Deacon Tcmpkins
As the startled people woke:
"Brother Bolles," he said, " I'm thinkin,"
A leetle hash you've spoke!
/" We're plain, hard-workin' people,
An we're busy through the week;
So when W. come to meetin'
It's restiD' spell we seek.
'We're tired with our tolls and troubl,s,
An wear! with tightin' Elm;
We need suthin' good an hearty
Fur our souls SO worn and thin.
"But what do We git? Why, mostly
mess o. stale old views,
Too. musty an dry fur feeoin'
Us hungry folks in the pews.
"G;ve us suthin' fresh an wholesome
That'll help US on our way;
Tell us how to live we'd orter
Ia the conflicts of to-day.
"l'm sure if the blessed Master
Was a-preachin' here n your stead,
He'd be tryin' to help the Twin,
Std o. maulin' OF the dead.

Increasing lean Meat in Pigs.

We may we'll suppose that the habit
ii the pig in laying or an excessive
quantity OF lat has been caused by long
and excessive feeding Of fat-produciog
food, and it Is not likely that any sud
den transformation could be- brought
about; but it is welt known that the
pigs OF different countries differ Ill re-
so ct to fat. We have only to contrast
fattened pigs of this country with those
in Canada. There pork is fattened part
" upon barley, hut largely upon peas, q
highly heterogeneous food, yielding a large
proportion of muscle, and our pigs are
fattened almost wholly upon corn ard
excessively starchy and fatte'ling food.
The Canadian pork has much larger
proportion of lean meat an lees lard.
The difference is very marked, 30 much
so that in market supplied with both
kinds, purchasers easily select the one
or the other, as desired. Wild hogs do
not have such excess Of fat, and the
southern hog. which is grown much
slower than those in the northern and
western states, and fed much less. corn,
is comparatively lean.
There can, therefore, be little don5t
that the habit of depoaiting this excess
of fat is caused by long continued feed
inc adapted to that end. The hog IL
naturally a grass and root eating animal,
and in it's domestication is fed almost
wholly, in this country, upon concen-
trated food. Hogs fed upon skinned
milk have less proportion of fat than
those fed upon corn. If young pigs are
kept upon food that will grow the mus
cles and bones and develop raDgy
frame, they will possess 50 much mus
Gle when half grown, that a moderate
length of time in fattening, even or
corn, will not pile on an excessive
amount of fat.-Live Stock journal.

BOSTON BEAN COFFEE.

Twill tear the manly soul to learn
That seas of molten lava
Have swept the isle-from stem to STERN
OF fair but pagan Java.
For though man, by way OF joke,
Be ever prone to scott. he
Can never cease to wall the stroke
That robs him of his coffee.
And while we loud lament the scene
And fruit that we have lost on,
Well parch and grind and brew the bean

What u Good Havana Was Sacrificed To,

There were two of them in the car.
They sat together. One Of the maideus
carried in her lap about five pounds OF

shape of sick poodle. On the front
platform near the open door was gen.

ny's rules, was puffog a good cigar, the
smoke of which DOW and then rolled
around the ladies just mentioned. Said
the one with thu dog to the other, who
was dogless: "Oh, how I hate vile to.

who used tobacco in any form if he was
as rich as Jay Gould and as handsome as

Since fans still continue to be popular
as wall decorations, they can be made at

get the cheap figured paper fans, paint
or gild the handles, and cover the fan
with silk, satin, or any other handsome
material. These may be decorated with
ribbon or Kensineton embroidery.

Tho Lee Monument.

II the Lee monument is to be column
Libby Hill is the spot for it. There it would
be seen by all who approach the city by
river. or by rail from the south side OF
the river, and il would be in full view from
all points on Main street east OF Fifth
street. Viewed from Hollywood or Gam
ble's Hill, it would stand out boldly and
grandly. II it is to be an equestrian statue
Monroe Park or CANDLES Hill would be a
better place. The Capitol Square is already
crowded-so crowded that when new
capitol is commenced, as 1t will be in the
course OF the next ten years, the location
OF the Stonewal-Jackson statue will have
to be changed to make room for it.
As the funds now in hand amount to
forty or fifty thousand dollars, and there
can be no excuse for further delay, the pub
lie expect an early and earnest start to be
made in this long-delayed Lee monument:
