nure. Farmers are too often grossly
neglectful OF their interefts In this
matter. a first step towards improve
inent would be to arrest water from
flowing in the yard, and teaching by
putting cave troughs on all barns and
sheds that have none, and provide for
their emptying into drains or capa
cious cisterns. These latter might
serve to supply water to the live sotck.
The yard ought to be shaped to slope
towards its center from all sides, and
II the soil is gravelly or open it should
he overlayed with stifr clay to prevent
the escape OF liquids. The stable
floors should be drained towards the
yard basin, in n way to lead all the
urine to this place. Then the accuIn.
ulating manure in the yard would be
constantly charged with moisture and

MY MASTERS.

The first of all my Masters was Delight
bent my knees 10 worship him. and sought
His ministers, and all the bliss they wrought
In days large splendor and the peace If night,
In song and dance, and every goodly sight
Until fair Love another lesson taught,
And bitter pain, dearer than pleasure,
brought,
And made my whole soul subject to his might
Some while / strove for Fame-his laurel
wreath
Seemed good to wear, and dear the feeting
breath,
With which men praise the idol of an hour;
But one drew nigh me garmented in power,
And beheld the awful face of Death,
Knew the true master, and before him

A Dangerous PIaything.

A neighbor of Mrs. Franklin Smith,
in Monroe county, Penn. viii pass
ing her mouse saw her lying in the
yard with two children crying by her
side The neighbor FASTENED to Mrs.
Smith, and saw lyinga few feet away
large rattlesnake dead. Mrs. Smith
was unconscious, but was soon revived,
and explained the situation. Her
Chi.d, age two, and the chi d of neigh
Dor, age three, were playing in the
yard, and she had been wat hing them
from the door, en- Dying their sport.
She noticed that while they were sit
ting side by side in the grass, her little
one was occasionally lightly striking
in front Of her with a short stick she
had in her hand, and aft each stroke
bOCh children would laugh loudly. The
other child at int ryas would bend
forward, with her face close to the
ground, and apparently stroke some
thing with her hand. There had been
q small land turtle about the yard for
some days, and Mrs. Smith supposed
the children had come across this and
were anus ng themselves with it. She

of an hour, when she walked toward
them to see what they were doing to
the turtle When within a few feet of
them she was struck speechless and
motionless with horror to see that
their plaything was large rattle
snake, which lay at full length, max.
ing no hostile demonstrations, simply
raising it's head wien it was touched,
opening its mouth, and darting its
tongue out and in. 1t was this per-
Torrance o. the snake which caused
the children's mirth. Finally Mrs.
Smith took a step or two forward, and
the snake discovered her. Instantly
its whoe appearance changed. AS
quick as lightning it threw itself into
the coil which gives it the power to
make its deadly spring and sounded its
rattle This sudden movement of the
snake alarmed the children and they
moved gu ckly away. Mrs. Smith then
found club, and with afew blows
killed the snake, after which she re-
membered nothing until revived by
her neighbor. the snake was between
four and five feet long, and had seven
rattIes.-NelO York Times Letter.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Too much reserve makes us miser
able. d.
Pleasant thoughts make pleasant
lives.
He that doeth no injury fears no
injury.
A love of money is great enemy
to honesty.
The first great work is that yourself
may to yourself be true,
Hope softens sorrow, brightens plain
surroundings, and eases a hard lot.
Trust not to the omnipotence of
gold, nor say unto it, Thou art my
confidence"
Faith is to believe what we do not
see. and the reward of this faith is to
see what we believe.
A man can always conquer his pas
sions if he pleaseS; but he cannot al
ways please to conquer his passions.
When a high-minded man takes
pains to atone for his injustice, his
kindness of heart shows in the best
and purest light.
HABITS are the daughters of action,
but they nurse their mothers. AMI give
birth to daughters after her image
more lovely and prosperous.
Let man have a fervent love for
what is pure and just and honorable
let him have cor lial adherence of
what is sensual, mean, tricky and I'M
generous, he will not 60 far wrong.
