There is certainly nothing remarkable
in the announcement from Pittsburg that
the AmaIgamated Association of Iron and
Steel Workers lis arranging fora series of
mass meetings to declare in favor Of a
sound tariff and protection for home in

however. if, say eighteen months ago, this
association should have thought it neces-

TO continue the hold upon the privileges

HAIL. THOU NEW YEAR.

Hail, thou New Year tho thou hast come
SO soon,
I'm hardly willing yet to say. goodbye
To the old friend who lays aside his crown,
And in the grave of Time lies down to die.
I had grown fond of him, and learned to know
The faults and virtues of the dear Old year;
He brought me many a comfort, many a JOY,
Although-ah, yes-he caused me many
tear.
But for the tears, as often as they flowed,
He gave me peace he gave me smiles again,
And taught me to look upward to Hopes
skies,
And see the rainbow cleaning through the
The dear Old Year He came as merrily :,
As thou dost come, just twelve short months
And now. because he has grown old at last,
Shall we forget the faithful life? All, no!
Thou art a stranger: what know men OF thee:
THY promises may all be fair and bright;
But many morning dawning cloudiessly
Has brought weary day and stormy night
Well, we will welcome thee, ay, trust thee
too;
Thy face is fair and young and glad, and We
viii ask a blessing on Shy reign, o king.

The Pleasures of a Country Life.

Not long since we read a report of a
debate in a farmers club upon the cues
ton whether city ii e or a rural lie is
the more conducive to happiness and
well-being. Strangely enough, the
question was decided in favor OF the
city life. No doubt this may be ex.,
planned by the very frequent inclination
of people to change their circumstances
and to notice most the disagreeable
features OF their environments. What
is pleasant is passed over as matter OF
course, while the unpleasant is long
dwelt upon and ruminated over, until
one feels that all other circumstances OF
positions are. better than those he has
become victim to.
Ii this disposition of the persons were
changed and could become more like
that OF the moralist who put upon his
sun dial: II mark only the pleasant
hours. y then there would be less OF the
prevalent dissatisfaction, for every per-
son would find some delights, at least,
IN his mode of life which would far over
balance whatever there might be dis
AGREEABLE or unattractive in it. But
there are material differences in the
two manners of living which no DISPOSE.

Two Invalid Children.
VINCENNEs, md, Dec. IL.
On the night Of February I, 1888, most
horrible and lamented affair occurred at
Middletown, small village on the border
IF Owen and Greene Counties, thirty-hye
niles north of this place. Two children OF
Mr.. James Dyer were burned to death, anu
the father, has been indicted by the owen
( County Grand Jury, and yesterday was
lodged in jail for the alleged murder. Inc
particulars of the affair are as follows: On
,he night in question Mr.. James Dyer's
house was burned with everything IN IT,
including two of his children. Inc fanny
consisted of Mr.. Dyer and four children,
his wife having died year ago OF con-
sumption The Oldest OF ms cnli ians - T a
intelligent, active girl OF eleven years. Inc
next two were still younger. One was
| naralytic. almost helpless and had never
been able to walk. The other was afflicted
| with epilepsy SO severely as to superln-
duce dementia bordering on total ldiocy.
| The Youngest was a healthy and inteliigen5
child The night the house was burned
| DYER took the youngest child and went 20
l Middletown to buy some soda. Inc mouse
was a log cabin, with a board partltion
| separating the bedroom from the man
room. The children went to bed early,
! IN the DeQ-TOOul, din Aoo.Ae
| o'clock the eldest was awakened
by the fire in the front room.
She rushed out and opened the outside
| door. which let in a draught and instantly
/ filled the bedroom with flame and smoke,
| which she says prevented her from return
! ing to aid the other children. Although she
| heard them calling to her to come and take
them out, 'sOh, take me out! Pm burning
/ M. Oh, take me QUIT" she could do moth
ING for them, and ran screaming to neigh
bor,s house and alarmed them. A number
/ Of people soon gathered, when Dyer made
his appearance, but his actions aroused g, enc
i suspicious of many of those present. Inc
house was nearly consumed, but in the cor
/ ner where the bed on which the children
slept had been could be plainly seen their
forms When the fire had gone out tue
/ bones of the two children were found inter-
laced as if they had in their last agony
clasped each other in their arms and died
in close embrace. 1t Was looked upon by
the neighbors as most singular occur

A Queer Street Car Passenger.

A big, burly, good naturally agrees
sive man entered Charlestown
Mass. horse-car yesterday, ac-
companied by a huge turkey, and, hay
ing seated himself, he placed his turkey.
in sitting position on the seat beside
him. The car filled rapidly, and, al
though several ladies were compelled
to stand, the turkey kept its seat,
guarded by its burly owner. When the
Conductor came through the car he
noticed the turkey, and, addressing the
man, said: .Y on will have to take that
turkey up
"What for?'' 5a
..To let some of these people sit
down. You can't keep him on that
seat.
..What's the reason can t?'
.. Because these people are as much
entitled to seat as is your turkey.
ssWell, who said they weren't? This
turkey amt bothering any one and q
like to see any one bother him. Z
s.You'll have to take him up, any
now; he isn't a passenger
mo, he isn't. He's a deuced sight
better than the average passenger yon
carry. He's clean, he amt telling all
he knows, he isn't drunk, he don
smell of tobacco, and he don spit all
over the floor
By this time all the passengers were
laughing and the peculiar appearance
of the turkey, as he sat bolt upright
with his legs spread out on the seat,
added to the merriment. The conduct
or, annoyed at the laughter, excitedly
said: :. Every seat in this car that's oc-
cupied has to be paid for; now you take
that turkey up, or get out. +"
Il won't do it. Here's a ticket fol
him, and see that you punch it..

Better Cattle Demanded

One Of the most important evidences
that farmers generally are now desirous
Of having better cattle, is seen in the
fact that WheE, ROW and then, at sale
OF pure-breds, d few shapeiy grades are
offered, these are usually taken readily,
The blddlDg being lively, with no compli
ments from the auctioneer required. On
such an occasion, the prices for this class
OF cattle come well up to those obtained
for the palmer sorts Of pure breds. In
fact, they sometimes 90 little beyond
uninvitiDg specimens of the latter. This
comes partly from the fact that the mass
of farmers do not care TO keep recorded
cattle They have little faith in their
ability to compete with regular breeders
in selling their increase, besides not be-
ing accustomed to that class Of clerical
work which would render them cOmpe-
tent to keep correct records. At least
they seem to doubt their ability in this
direction.
What stronger endorsement could
breeders ask for, as compensation for the
painstaking care of century, than that
the grades of given breed are always
wanted at paying prices, provided the
SIddlng up has been successful in bring
ing out the evidences that all men ac09at,
namely, advancing individual merit :
MS Is the highest proof that any one
not a breeder of improved cattle can
nave OF the advantages that accrue from
building up and carefully maintaining the
highest class specimens Of the several
breeds. These shapely, thick feshed
grades are the very essence of health and
vigor, combined with the characteristics
of the pure-bred in quite a degree. INA

Fashionable Drinks.

In no other way does mankind show its ina
biiity to take care of itself as in the custom of
changing its fluid stimulation at the merest hint
from some one who appears healthy, wealthy or
wise. II person possessing one or more of
these qualifications does not make any sugges-
ton that will be useful at bar any fool will an
swer the purpose, if only he has Il bibulous &C.
centricity. The mayor of 4 city no further from
New York than the other side of the East River
once caused Il corner III Santa Cruz rum by haV-
ing his name bestowed upon a beverage of
which that palld liquid was the basis, and all
New York tOpers took to gin and milk few
years ago because a clergyman so far forgot the
respect due his position as to order this pecul-
lar compound at a public bar.
The newest rage in the way of drinks, how
ever, will not cause any one to go home in an
irresponsible condition or to be arrested and
dubbed for trying to take up the whole width
of the sidewalk; for it is buttermik-a fluid
that, unlike sweet milk, does not lend itself to
alcoholic deceits, but must be taken straight or
not at all. 1t is now kept on tap at many Phil
adelphia bars, as well rs at a few in New York
and as its cost is not much greater than that of
clear water the honest rumseler would rather
sell it than whskey. 1t has long been reputed
u health-giving drink, meandering beneicially
among the vital organs about as isothermal
lines were said to do in Alaska in President
Johnson's time. 1t contains no fusel oil, no
headaches, no fights; man may drink 'butter-
milk straight" from sunset to daylight without
being tempted to thrash his best friend or lend
money to his worst enemy. 1t corrupts no rev.
enue officers, fills no suicides graves, prompts
no extensions of bonding periods, makes no eX-
else muddles or prohibition tickets. Even if it
is proved to have no good physical effects, its
negative virtues counterbaance the benefits OF
all strong liquors. So hurrah for buttermilk
and may the dairies be equal to the demand

A Remarkable Butter Cow.

Since testing the butter capacity of
thoroughbred dairy cattle has been ad-
dopted for the guidance of breeders some
have been obtained that were so extra
ordinary as to excite incredulity until the
tests were repeated under the supervis-
ion of responsible, disnterested commit
tees, placing their truthfulness beyond
cavi The Herald has published sever
al OF the most remarkable Of these dur
ing the past two years. Another has oc
Cured which surpasses any yield hitherto
reported for the period Of three months.
The COW in question is the registered
Jersey, Mary Anne. Of st. Lamberts,
9,77O, the property of Mr.. Nalancey +.
Fuller of Hamilton, ont, Canada. She
was four years old in March last and
dropped the third calf in May, soon after
the test began. During the first thirty
one days she gave l00 lbs. II OF. of well
worked unsalted butter, which after be-
ing salted one ounce to pound and
ready for the table weighed l06 lbs. l21
oz. The third week of this test was con
Quoted under the supervision and con-
troll of a committee appointed by the
Canadian Jersey Breeders Association.
The weeks result was 23 lbs. 3 OF. I'M
salted butter, which weighed after the
salt was added n lbs. I3 OF. The sec
ond thirty-one days gave ~ lbs. 5 oz. un-
salted, or l02 lbs. OF. salted butter. and
the third thirty-one days % lbs. 4! oz.
unsalted, or l02 lbs. 10! on. salted. The
aggregate for ninety three days is there
fore DOG lbs. = on. of unsalted butter,
which when completed weighed 3ll lbs.

other food than grass and five quarts of
ground oats per day. She is much inbred

brated English bred jersey bull Daun-
ceys Rioter. one of whose sons was the
sire of Mr.. \. B. Darling's remarkable

| stop to rest in the grass-grOwn yard,
TO gather the autumn blooms,
And lazily dream on the velvet sward
That manleS the sunken tOmbs.
The raspberry brers obscure the words
Affection has carved on the stone;
With ripening blossoms and bees and birds,
Forgotten they sleep alone.
And all of the men who wore this path
Or the threshold of yonder door,
To hear of Fathers love or wrath,
Are found on earth no more.
And spiders lazily spin their threads
Secure from ntruding feet,
While autumn its leaves DER the pulpit spreads
And the list'ners sunken seat.
| close my eyes and seem to hear
Some sacred OLD hymn arise,
Or the pastor inviting, in accents clear.
TO "mansons above the Skies"
Or hear the bearers with reverend tread
Their charge to the chancel bear.
And the numerous sghs for the honored dead
Float out on the autumn air.
Then the call of the robin dispels my dreams.
So rising with bated breath
| mark where the sun through easement CLEANS
As life in the midst of death.
