He Kept His Word.

A few months ago young man who
had been in the employ of an express
company at a point in Wisconsin left
his position and home on account of
failing health, and went TO Florida with
the hope OF receiving benefit from the
change of climate. About a week ago
he intended returning to his Northern
home In short time, but thought be-
fore leaving the land of flowers he would
send box of oranges to his relatives
and friends in Wisconsin. The oranges
were brought here from Florida BY the
Adams Express Company, having been
ranked through. From here to their
destination they were to be transported
blythe American. The young man who
had shipped the oranges had written a
letter to the American explaining the
TACT that the oranges had been shipped
over the Adams, and requesting the
American people when they arrived to
put frank which he inclosed in his
letter on the box. aud forward that,
adding, in conclusion. Il will be pass

THE NAN AT THE WHEEL.

r
The sun went down, out came the stars;
Inc steamboat Neptune held her way
IN middle stream, between the bars,
Straight down the river to the bay:
ana a. the engine toiled and painted
The deck hands 1olled at ease and chanted
quaint and curious roundelay.
Tom Simpson, in the engine-room,
was chatting with gr1my mate
Who watched the gauge, while like loom,
The piston moved at even rate,
4mpelled az by law appalling,
Forever rising-e falling
Unpausing as the hand of Fate.
When suddenly the pilots bell
Sounded solitary stroke;
It echoed like a funeral knell,
So UNEXPECTEDLY it broke
Tom said: "NoW what's the old man after
Slow her down, Jim-0r is't joke?''
"Joke or no joke. I'll slow her down."
Answered the grimy engineer;
Just skip about and ask old Brown
What ais him; it is 'tarnal queer.
On such night, too, clear as crystal;
Jumped as though I'd heard pistol
Alfred of agen my ear"
Tom Simpson turned upon his heel
And sought the pilot; Brown sat there,
His wrinkled hands upon the wheel
The breeze blown through his silvered hail
"Hellowl old grand-dad, what's the matter
Ye're maxim all this blasted clatter
When everything is calm and fair?'
''The mist the mist!" the pilot cried,
The rivers thick-leave off the steam"
'What mist old lunkhead 2" Tom replied;
"The night Is clear, you do but dream;
Wake up, old man." With sudden SILVER
The pilot pointed down the river
''The mist is heavy on the stream"
Snow, dash my buttons here a case,''
Tom growled; and then, in queer surprise,
he looked hard in the old mans face
And saw the mist there in his eyes.
"Eh, what's this mate? Rouse up old fellow
The moon shown on him soft and mellow,
Like some far CLEAN of paradise.
Grouse up I'll call the Cap'n, Brown:
You are not we'll; hold up your head"
Still ominOusly pointing down
The river "5ee the mist" he said.
My God! he's dyin'," Tom low muttered;
'The mist "-'twas the last word he uttered
The bell had rung-old Brown was dead.

The Winter Care of Sheep,

"The winter care of the fock," says
the Pittsburg Stockman, lis where
many new sheep-men make mistakes. It
is no trouble to keep sheep through the
summer, but often inexperienced flock
masters lose half their flock in a single
winter. The reason of this is either
carelessness, or ignorance of the nature
and requirements of the sheep. The
most successful winter care of sheep can
not be undertaken without suitable
stabling. This is the first great requi-
site. There is no use trying to keep a
sheep thriving, and at the same time
have it's wool saturated with water, with
the temperature down toward zero.
Then, after seeing that you have stuff
Gent shelter for your sheep, the next
most important thing is to see that
there is an abundant supply Of hay OF
other forage. Hay and fodder must be
early cut and put up in the very hes;
condition. With these preliminary
preparations flock of sheep can be
wintered safely, cheaply and proftably.
With good hay and proper shelter sheep
require but little grain. These facts
alone should determine every shepherd
to prepare proper stsbling for them az
an economic measure"
