A Very self.willed Horse.


There is an old nursery rhyme which
teaches that kindness and patience are
the best methods to pursue in the case
of donkey that wouldn't Co." An
English gentleman relates that he had a
horse that ''wouldn't CO." but when he
came TO try the patience remedy he
found that the horse had larger sup
ply of that virtue than he himself pos
sessed, which, as will presently be seen,
was considerable.
The English gentleman's horse was q
confirmed "balker." One Saturday af-
ternoon, when he was returning home
in his dog-cart, the horse baked, as it
had often done before, and its master
thought that this time he would try
what calmness and patience would
do. Accordingly he sat still in the
dog-cart, and addressed the animal in
soothing tones and kindly words; but
to no purpose. 1t was exactly ten min
utes past four on Saturday afternoon
when the horse stopped in the middle
of the road.
The afternoon wore away, the sun
sank below the horizon, darkness set
tied down over the landscape, and yet
the man and horse remained to fight
out the battle between obstinacy and
patience. Through the long night they
staid there, the whip remaining quietly
in the socket, and when the sun arose
after his voyage around the world he
found the contest still going on.
At six o'clock in the morning the
owner babe his groom fetch cart-rope
and tie it to the horses fore-leg; but
when the groom did so, and pulled with
all.his might, the only result was that
the horse stood with his fore-leg stuck
out as Il it were bronze statue. At
seven o'clock the horse became perfect
ly furious, seizing the shaft with his
teeth, and shaking 1t, kicking and
stamping with rage the while. At half
past seven the groom tried to tempt
him with q measure of oats, but the
angry beast would have none of it, not
withstanding that it was twenty hours
since he had had mouthful of food or
a drop of water.
Then his master had to confess him.
self beaten in the trial of patience, and
having procured some tough shoots of
ground-ash, he applied them to Mr..
Horses back so vigorously that that
selfwilled quadruped was obliged to con-
Tess himself beaten so far as his hide
was concerned. 1t was then twenty
minutes before eight on Sunday morn
ing, the contest having lasted fifteen
hours and half during which the
horse did not bulge an inch, nor his
owner stir from his seat in the carriage.
This is probably the most remarkable
exhibition of obstinacy on the one side
and of patience on the other that was
ever known, and the story as told here
is exactly true.-Harper's Young Peo-
ple.

What Shall the Boys Do 2

Parents are continually confronted
with this question. Many parents an
swer it wrongly. The father desires
that his son shall not undergo the toll
and self-denial that he has undergone,
forgetting, or perhaps not realizing IN
any proper sense, that it was that toil
and that self denial that made him the
man he is. The mother has her fool.
ish notions about the respectabllity OF
certain grades of employment which
enable those following them TO wear
good clothes and exhibit few OF the
superficial evidences of refinement and
culture. The boy, with his inexperl'
ence and inability TO look below the
surface of things, is easily led TO fol-
low the wel-intended but foolish Judg-
ment of his parents and commences
life by swelling the list of book keep
ers without ledger, doctors without
patients, lawyers without clients and
genteel clerks without employment.
The first thing the parent or teacher
should do is to study carefully the boys
aptitudes. Having done this he should
be taught that any kind of honest la
Dor is honorable and what he could do
best should be his calling, no matter
whether it was to make shoes or car
riages, to raise cattle or butcher them.
Many a boy who might in time become
a good farmer, owning a farm and
home of his own becomes anindifferent
hand to-mouth salesman in store that
will only barely keep soul and body to-
gether aud provide no accumulation for
sickness or old age. Many a boy
who, by learning the machinists trade
could some day be at the head ofa great
manufactory, remains in obscu1ty
and poverty because his parents think
the profession of book-keeper would be
more genteel. ..s..i.f

Index of Character.

1t is one of the mistakes of facialo-
gists to maintain that the Roman nose,
such as is seen on the frontispiece of
Julius Caesar, is of itself emblematic of
heroic character 1t is a habit to so
class the arched proboscis Of Yelling
ton. He wanted the massive jaws which
make such nose true index of war
like character, and one must 60 to the
top of the head for large frmness, and
back of the ears for large combative-
ness and destructiveness, to unlock the
secret of the success of his arms. The
Greeks had long, straight noses, and
no people were braver while the Ro-
mans and no doubt the Carthaginians,
were much indebted to the Phoenicians
for their bridged and beaked face-han-
dies. Napoleon's nose was but slightly
arched, but his jaws were massive.
Washington's nose was also slightly
elevated in the centre, and he had mas
sive jaws which made him resolute and
determined. General Grants nose is
but slightly arched, while that of Gen
eral Lee was short and almost straight,
| showing civil talents in marked de-
gree as well as discipline of Mars.
General Haucock's nose is of the Lee
mould, and demonstrates similar char.
acteristics. Hancock is a man who
would fight gallantly for principle
and then show large capacity as civil
ruler or agent of the people. Stone
wall Jackson possessed heavy; iron.set
| jaws, and long, full, almost straight
nose, like that of Marshal Macdonald
who was always selected by Napoleon
for daring enterprises. The nose o
the real civilian is almost invariably o
moderate length, and running from tn
eyes in nearly straight line, and yol
may have immense courage as its hid
den characteristic. Sir Robert Peel
nose was arched, but he is an exception
to the rule in civil life. After a grea
war, the men with short noses come t.
the front as civil reorganizers. If to

Chinese Bible Meeting,

The District Superintendent of the
American Bible Society for California
and Nevada gives the following
facts:
The first Chinese Bible meeting ever
held in San Francisco was held in the
First Presbyterian Church, Stockton
Ssreet, on the evening of the 10Th of
July. All the Chinese Missions in the
city united, and made up congrega-
ton of about 500 Chinese men, women,
and children.
The opening prayer was in Chinese
A Christian Chinese presided at the
organ, leading the large audience, every
one of which joined in singing with a
tciW. One of the hymns was, "Blow
ye the trumpet blow" and as only an
audience can sing it, ,feelj1ag the great
importance and great need of blowing
the gospel trumpet.
An address was delivered by Rev.
DIR. Gibson, of the Methodist Mission,
in Chinese, after which your District
Superintendent delivered an address in
English, which was translated by al
able Chinese Interpreter who stood by

A Brisk Fall Trade.
THE SITUATION DESCRIBED AS HEALTHY
AND GOOD. 10

A dispatch from New York city
speaks as follows concerning the out
look for trade
There has been an unmistakable re-
viyal in business here during the past
two weeks. During the greater part
of August the streets in the lower part
of the city were dull and empty. Sta
ges ratified from the Battery to Twenty
third Street, along Broadway without
hindrance. West Street, the great bug
a-boo of timid travellers over the North
River ferries, was seldom blocked, and
it seemed as though drivers and horses
were enjoying Summer vacation.
Now, everything is changed. That
part of the city between Fulton and
| Worth Streets and the North and East
Rivers is jammed during business hours
with merchandise and vehicles of every
description. The place whore the great
crush commences is about Fulton Street,
where Washington Market, dispossess-
ed of its righful abode, has overfowed
into West Street. The docks of the
Delaware, Lacawanna and Western
Railway receive great amount OF
freight above Dey Street, and the lines
of trucks extend sometimes for blocks
above and below. The Jam of vehicles
of all sorts and sizes which extends
from Fulton Street to Barclay Street is
a problem which the policemen on duty
find it no easy matter to solve FE
However, in some way or other trait
; fic is helped slowly along. AT the foot
of Barclay Street tie New York Cen
tral Railway receives freight, and cases
in pyramids and mountains adorn the
pier front. The army of men employ
ed in loading and unloading vessels is
a mighty one. The exact number OF
men composing it can hardly be oh
9 tanned, but certainly 10000 men find
work between Fulton and Harrison
Streets.
All the agents of the transportation
a companies agree that Fall trade this
u year is healthy and good Mr.. w. IL
c Stanford, Secretary of the Old Domin
: ion Line, said to a reporter 1--WE ar,
j. busy now and hope to be until the EN-
of this month. The Fall trade thi
B. year rs far as ! can see, will compar
e well with last years, which was decid
y edly good. The Fall trade of 1880, O
a course, was better, but that was a phe
" nomenal year.
