Keeping o Cow.

II can remember" said Henry
Ward Beecher, when I received an
old cow in payment of bad debt. 1t
was a very bad debt, and came to
consider it a bad payment. She was
q thin COW, but the former owner said
she was better than she looked, being
across between Jersey and the Dur,
ham. She looked as II she might
have been cross between an old
hair trunk nm abandoned hoopskirt.
kept the brute three days, and no
one, except perhaps Lieutenant At
we'll, could ever appreciate the suff-
ering endured in that time. The
first night she broke through the
fence, and reduced to pulp all the
underclothing belonging to my next
door neighbor. She put her horns
through my bath tub, and ate up all
my geraniums. She was to give three
gallons of milk day, but she seemed
to be short just then, and never had
that to spare while we kept her. The
second day she walked into the kitch-
en-, upset pan of butter and tub OF
lard. Then she fell down well, and
when / got her out, at cost OF 50,
she took the colo, whooping cough,
or something, and kept us awake all
night. Not green thing was left in
my garden; my neighbours peach
trees and the rope on which his I'M
elarwear grew were as bare of fruit as
a single-tree, and he did not have a
twig of shrubbery left. My neigh
Dor came over to see me, and said:
Now, 1 don't desire any quarrel,
but I want you to keep your COW out
Of my shrubbery.
And want you, my friend, said
i, ito keep your shrubbery out of my
COW; it spoils the milk
Ever afterwards there was cool
ness between us, and my neighbours
wife ceased TO patronize our house
when she wanted to borrow cupful
Of yeast powder. "-Breeder's Jour

I do wish all my clothes were not OF such

The little Girl next door wears blue, oh, dear,

words were whispered low,
Les, such tremendous heresy should reach
her aunts below.
Calmly reading In the parlor sat the good
aunts, Faith and Peace,
Little dreaming how rebellious throbbed tho
heart Of their young niece.
All their prudent humble teaching wiiifuliy
she cast aside,
And, her mind now fully conquered by vani-

IT was Aunt Faiths sweet voice that called
her, and the naughty little maid
Gliding down the dark old stair-way-hoped

Keeping shyly in their shadow az they went
out at the door,
All, never little Quakeress Q guiltier con-

Dear Aunt Faith walked looking upward; all
her thoughts were pure and holy;
And Aunt Peace walked gazing downward,
with humble mind and lowly.
But 'stuck-tucki" chirped the sparrows, at
the little maiden's side; =,
And. In passing Farmer Watson's, where the
barn-door opened wide,
Every sound that issued from II, every grunt
and every cluck, go,
Seemed to her affrighted fancy like "a tuck!'

In meeting Goodman Elder spoke OF pride
and vanity,
While all the Friends seemed looking round
that dreadful tuck to see.
How Il sweIled in its proportions, till It
seemed 10 fill the air,
And the heart of little Patience grew heavier
with her care.
Oh. the glad relief to her when, prayers
and exhortations ended,
Behind her two good aunties her homeward
way she wendell!
The pomps and vanities Of life she'd seized
with eager arms, -,
And deeply she had tasted of the worlds
alluring charms
Yea, TO the dregs had drained them, and
only this to find:
All was vanity Of spirit and vexation of the
mind.
So, repentant, saddened, humbled, on her
hassock she sat down.
And this little Quaker sinner 'fPpud Me

A Terrible Tine.

This is rather q gloomy predicuon'
but ms there arc only three months
remaining Of the terrible period It u
lust as well 10 take a cheerful view ol
the matter, and DO thankful Il n
nearly ended. The New York Sun
says;
The period between 1880 and 1885
cannot fail 10 excite tho liyeliest IN
terest in astronomers, AZ the four
great planets, Saturn, Neptune, IRA
nus and Jupiter, will then be in peri
helion for the first time in about four
thousand years, and in consequence
OF this remarkable event II is be
heyed that the climatic conditions OF
the earth will be disturbed and pre-
duce alternate degrees OF excessive
heat cold, rains, food, hurricanes
and fatal epidemics. During the sixth
and sixteenth centuries OF the Chris
tian err, three OF the above planets
were in perihelion, and from that or
some other cause, floods, hurricanes,
earthquakes, sickness and the plague
extended all over the world and des-
troyed vast amounts Of life and prop
erty. The 9th century the plague
broke out in the East, and sweeping
over Africa, Asia and Europe, des-
troyed, it is estimated, 1OO,OOO,OOO
people. The city Of Alexandria lost
100000 inhabitants. In CONSTANT
nople 1000 died per day during three
months, and in and about Rome dur
ing the same time 5000 died per day.
A large number Of cities, villages and
provinces in Eastern Europe, West
ern Asia and Northern Africa were al
most depopulated. and remained in
that condition several centuries. The
people fled panic-stricken in every di
rection, and for miles around these
cities the dead were left unblried,
and thus filed the air with pestilen.
tial odors, and added additional hor-
rors to the scenes of distress and mis-
cry. In the sixteenth century the
plague again ravaged the whole world,
Constantinople lost 100000 people,
and in and around Rome and Naples
and Italy, 100000 died in five years.
Fifteen millions persisted in China,
and 3O,OOO,OOO died in the countries
bordering on the Red, Black and
Mediterranean seas. Marseilles lost
$4,000 inhabitants in six months, and
in and around London 100000 died
in three years, and in that city fires
were kept burning day and night a
long time to purify the air, which
seemed vitiated several years. Ire
land lost 100000 people, Paris 1OO,-
600, Madrid $4,000, Alexandria So
900, and the total loss of life by the
plague and famine Of the sixteenth
century is estimated ut 100000.
If the foregoing calamities were the
result of three planets in perihelion,
what may be anticipated from the
four now approaching perihelion?
The theory entertained is the peri
helion of the four great planets will
affect the sun and the sun in turn
will injuriously affect the earth, and
hence the disastrous consequences to
life and property will follow.

CURE FOR PILES.

/Piles are frequently preceded By sense
Of weight in the back, loins and lower part
of the abdomen, causing the patient TO sup

easiness Of the stomach, etc. A moisture,
like perspiration, producing very disa-
