THE HoME-sIcK HORSE.


am sold from my home from my dear native
fields,
From the farm with its pasture and all that it
yields.
Away from that spot am lone and distrcst,
fain would return to the soil love best.
Ny masters dear voice that loved so TO hear
AS he tapped on the bars with nubbin or ear
now hear no more, but harsh one instead.
That scolds me and threatens until I'm in
dread.
Ny mind takes me back to the days when I
bore
Ny kind, noble master away from his door;
l blithely and cheerfully pranced on the way.
And with joy bore him home at the close of the
day.
Oh, the hinfeld the meadow, the lane and the
rill,
And the shades that I loved-I remember them
still
The barn-yard. the stable, the manger, my
stall
And the oats that were waiting, still sweeter
than all.
Far, far from these scenes I now labor and
sweat,
Am sworn at, and beaten, and sorely beset;
I'm only a brute and for that must roam
But, even TO a horse, there is no place like
home. Il Belle L. Harrison.

TAXING ALIEHs.-From the reign of Ed
ward III. onward the sums raised by means
of the customs formed a large part-at
times more than kalf-of the revenue of
the King. The natural desire TO secure as
much as possible from foreigners led TO
taxes being imposed on aliens at high rates
Thus, in the time of Edward ". all mer-
chants, with exceptions in favor of the
merchants of Spain, Bretagne, and the
merchants of the Steel Yard-merchants of
Almagne, having the house in London
termed Guilda Theuticorum, were charged
40s year. and any alien keeping house
for the bruying of here" was charged
20s. These sums, however, did not meet
the requirements for Edward Tvs extrav-
agances.-L The Quarterly Review.

THEVERY LAST SHOT BY LEES MEN-Joe
Deadwyler says that Nap. Cosby fired the
last gun of the war on the Confederate side
in General Lees army. At the time of the
surrender at Appomattox the Federals and
Confederates were drawing up in lines
facing each other and but few feet apart.
The latter We're almost starved, having been
without food for several days. While the
terms of surrender were being arranged
some very good hogs came along near the
line, and as soon as Nap. discovered them
he raised his gun and took one of them in.
The shooting of the hog created a consider
able sensation for a little while, as it was
thought by some that the anks and Rebs
had got into a fight among themselves.
The facts were soon understood, however,
and Nap and his friends had good time
eating pork for dinner.-[ Elberton tGa.)

LITERATURE FOR Our BoYs.-Boys at a
public school ought not to be made to love
literature any more than they ought to be
made intelligent, courageous or manly; but
they ought to be taught to respect iitera-
ture, to wish TO be acquainted with it, and
to feel that it is discreditable to be ignorant
of it. This can only be done by having
literature brought within their reach by
teachers who value it. If there is ,u,un,
aecessdrium in education, it is this, quite as
much as " the scientific habit seeing the
point" or the knowledge that thing is
what it is, and not something very like it.
II is more necessary that human being
should be intelligent than that he should
be accurate, and II is more easy to stimulate
the mind than to impart exact knowledge.
Both are desirable-there is time for both.
and both can be impaired by teaching. A
good teacher will be inexhaustable in illus
tration. History, ancient and modern,
geography, archaeology, political economy,
politics, poetry, art, philosophy, can all be
brought in to throw light on lesson of
Thucydides or Virgil and the best teacher
is he who employs all these aids to intelli-
gence with the least show of pedantry or
vanity. Nineteenth Century

AFTER VACATION.

Back from the seashore and mountains
Back from the health-giving spring
From the deep-sounding sea and bright foun-
tains-
To our labor new life we will bring.
Seeking the while for the pleasures
Unburdened existence can give,
We have gathered rich and rare treasures
From many an oft-garnered field.
From the East, the germ of the Nation,
With its glorious deeds of the past
From the West, with its civil ization
The grandest, the best, and the last
From the North, where the summer, belated,
Awhile dreary nature beguiles;
From the South, where the breezes are freighted
With odors from tropical isles.
From journeys in far distant nations,
From musings mid nature and art,
We bring to our daily vacations
larger and kindlier heart.
With the loss of that narrow contraction
That would dwarf and disfgure the soul,
And feeling we are but fraction
OF great and harmonious whole

Inaction Franrht with DANCER

Inaction of the kidneys and bladder is
fraught with danger. Renal diseases of
the most stubborn and fatal character have
this initial symptom. To disregard it is to
invite them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has the special quality of stimulating uri-
nary secretion and discharge to a degree
consonant with health, and no further. 1t
is not an excitant of the organs. like the
unmedicated stimuli of commerce 1t sim
ply arouses them when their activity and
vitality are impaired. This stimulating
and tonic action the Bitters likewise exerts
upon the bowels, the liver and the stomach
1t averts renal disease, cures dyspepsia, pre-
vents and remedies fever and ague, and
removes biliousness and constipation. No
finer tonic exists, and to persons with a
tendency to govt it strongly recommends
itself, as it is fine depurent of the blood.
