Nressing Chronicle of a Log Book.
Oxen Baseom was born at Waterbury,
Enn thirfy-six years ago. He suddenly
left the city, having conceived a passion
FOR adventure through constant reading
Of thrilling romances and exciting tales
Of the sea. For some time his aged par
ents male earnest efforts to find their
trugnt son, bnt although his father spent
= large portion of the hard-earned saw
ings Of many years of honest toll as a
carpenter, no trace of Owen could be
dis oyered and after many months all
hope was given up, his father and
mQther finally concluding that he must
be dead or they would have had some
word from him. Great was their sur
prise and qualification when he turned
up here to celebrate his re-
turn to America and to commem-
orate the anniversary of his birth.
He tells thri ling tale
of his experiences since he left home.
He went TO New York on leaving Water
bpfy and stayed there for some time,
knocking about town and picking up n
odd jobs here and there, but always
watching for a grand chance for adven-
5e with q prospect OF riches as a re-
ard. His chance did not come before
%ss funds were exhaEs>ed and ho was
finally compelled to snip before the
mast or return home, which latter alter
native was too much for his pride to
permit. He knocked about on board
ship Tor months, running into nearly all
the principal foreign ports and getting
all the adventure he wanted, but not
with the anticipated alloy of pleasure he
had looked forward TO.

How to Disappoint a BaIky Horse,

How to Disappoint a BaIky Horse.
A Leominister farmer recently broke
his horse Of a 'baIky" freak in a very
quiet and, as he claims, not a cruel man
ner. His horse is in excellent flesh,
and shows no signs of neglect on the
part of his master. He drove him a
tached to a rack wagon, to the wood-
lot for a small load OF wood. The animal
would not pull a pound. He did not beat
him with q cldb, but tied HIM to a treI
and 'let him stand" He went to the To-
at 81 set and asked him to draw, but he
would not s~traighten a tug. II msde
up ms mind" said the farmer, "when
that horse went to the barn he would
take that load of wood. The night was
not cold. I went to the barn, got blan-
kets and covered the horse warm,
and be stood till morning. Then he re-
fused to draw. At noon i went down
ami ne was probably hungry and lone
some. He drew that load of wood the
first time | asked him. / then returned,
and got another load before l fec
him. i then rewarded him with a good
dinner, which he eagerly devoured.
/ have drawn several loads since. Once
he refused to draw, bnt as soon as he
saw me start for the house he started
after me with the load. A horse be-
comes lonesome and dlscontented when
left alone. as much so as a person; and l
claim this method, If rightly used, is far
less cruel and is better for both man
aud horse tina n TO beat the animal With
a ub."-EFithburg Sentinel.

than not to allow fresh air to stock shut
M in a stable. When cold weather
comes on it is customary with some
farmers to barrieade their stables as
closely as possible against the outer air
in order to secure warmth, and having
done so they think they have made their
stock safe and comfortable. This is a
serious error. Cattle and horses require
fresh ar us InuCn as human beings do
and if deprived of ut the same evil re.
suits are as likely to happen as in the
case Of men and women shnt up IN q
confined atmosphere which has been
breRthed over and over again until 1t
becomes changed into a tetid poison
Under q long confinement to such air
the constitution of the animals becomes
debilitated and tendencies to disease
engendered which might have remained
latent, or, under circumstances, have
been outlived by the animals. Even
strong, healthy cattle lose vi
tality in close, unventilated stables
1t is the part Of economy, therefore
TO pEOvide suitable ventilation for all
stables; and in doing so 1t should be re-
membered that, without it, it is not only
the confined air that the animals are
compelled 10 breathe, out the exhala-
tons from the excrements also. Nor
should it be forgotten that, while an
abundance of fresh air is essential tt
health, warmth is equally so. The prob
lem, then, Is to secure thorough venti-
lati0n without unduly lowering the tenn.
perature. Especially should draughts
about the feGt~aa through cracks in
the floor communicating with the outer
air be carefully guarded against. 1t is
true all this Involves some expense, but
it is an expense that is soon amply re-.
paid in the greater health, the better
assimilation of the food, and consequent
". the better condition of the animals.
Not only SO, but work animals are stroDg.
er and better enabled to do a lays
work On the same expenditure of food,
while The liability TO disease is greatly
reduced. The stanle is no grand affair,
yet the arrangements tor securing warm
and fresh air should he as complete
as those Of a human habitation, at least
a cool deal more complete than most
people are apt to think necessary.

Home Honesty,

There are many people who are very
honest away from home, Who are very
slippery at home. They make home
promises only TO break them. AS hus-
bands ssaasyr MAKE q tIOusanu good pro-
misses, and raise many pleasant expecta-
tons they never seem to think Of again.
AS wives they practice a thousand little
deceits, e~quivocate and quibble many
times, when straightforw ward honesty
was just the thing required. AS parents
they conceal, 70 round the truth, de-
ceivet aid often actually falsely to their
ter, always best.
The children see their parents double
dealings. see their want ofintegrity, and
learn from them to cheat, deceive and
eQuivocate. The child is too often a
chip OF he old block.-Exchangc.

Illinois, just returning from the Union
Stock Yards, where he had sold three
cars of hogs of his own raising. "No,
sir, my boys are ali at home. The three
oldest are teaching school winters and
helping on the farm summers. I've had
all my boys in the city, though, and
they know what it is. | showed 'em all

An Arkanshs Traveller.

Last Spring one of the first emigrants
from this County was an old colored man,
named Adam Guyton, from the Brushy
Creek Township of the County, who is
about fifty five years of age, and he has
come back thoroughly disgusted with
Arkansas. He went out in the party with
Joe Lee, Nose Lee, Jehu Thomas and
others. and settled about one hundred
miles from Little Rock. All of the party
settled as farm laborers except Jehu
Thomas, who organized the party, and
lie says taught school until the sickly
season, and then left them. The country
Is low swamp, In which the health is
said to be healthy until Summer, when
chiils and fevers rage with destroying
bad tasted. They are paid seventy five
cents per day for wages when they do day
work, but are required to board them
selves, and buy from the man they work
with. The most of them, however, are
paid part of the crop. He says they
are charged IL cents pound for bacon,
when the stores sell it for II cents 81 Is
articles in proportion. He says hands
are called to work by bell, and that they
are pushed By an overseer on horseback
all day long. He states that hauis here
do not know what work is, and says he
has come back to stay in this country.
He says of the party of thirty men and
women who went out with him, about
half are dead, and that nearly all of the
children in the party have died. He ad-
vises all who think Of going to Arkansas
to live to abandon it at once. He gives
terrible accounts of the want, privation
and utter destitution Of the poor, deluded
negroes who go out there. All who con
template going should see and talk with
him. He is now living in Brushy Cree;
Township in this County.
