TsE COW AND The RABBIT.

The mail carrier frem the Court
house to PowelPs Ft., is responsible
for the following: A gentleman
along the line of hi. route had a
very fine COW, and suddenly, and
with no apparent cause, it was
noticed that the COW came up and
had the appearance of having been
MIXED. Her owner, thinking this
exceedingly strange. began TO no.
tice her movements. and be discover
ed that every night she called at the
same place as if for her calf. He
went nearer and discovered that It
was large buck rabbit which she
had adopted that was the cause of
the trouble. He caught and killed
the rabbit, end since then his COW

RYE FEED.

IN looking for cheap grain feed
rye is not SO likely to be forgotten.
1t is almost the emily nutritious con-

be affected with ergot, and thus be
unsuitable to animals bearing Young.

STRONG MEN.

1t is not the loud talking, boiste-

aud challenges the world to urest
them from him, who is the strong
man.
Did you ever see man stand un-
moved and unawed amid the wcrid's
buffets and wrongs. and with a calm
majesty of hearing maintain his foot
hold and brayely do his duty witt
no word of cheer fro a his fellows
ard no hope of reward from th,.

Did yeu ever see msn hopeles>ls
bearing his burcen OF toll and trial,
his dumb lips bravely keeping his
secret from the world and giving NO
sign what has broken his peace aad
caakered his happiness. This is the
trslv strong man who under tempta-
tion keeps himself pure from ali
faint. who though painfully sensl-
tive to insult and indignity refrains
himself and leaves the retrlbution
with God.
Calnness and compo.ure mid

be the result of strength of charac>

Like pearls in the deph Of the ocean,
Like stars that enamel the sky,
Like June and the odor of rssses,
Like dew and the freshness of morn.
Life sunshine thai kisses the clio yer,
Like ,assels Of silk on the corn,
Like notes of the thrush IN The wood

Like brooks where the vic lets grow,
Like ra,nbows hat arch the blue heav-

Like clouds when the sun dippe th low,
Like dream Of Aca lian pleasures,
Like colors that gratefully blend,
Like every thing breathing of pursness-

But be careful to always keep
within the limits Of safety. Don
attempt too much. Great attempts
do not count anything for US except
they result In success, and besides
every failure to great degree de-
stroys our self confiieAce.
1t is better to BE- a living mouse

make an independent living On the

to be success in little things than
failure in liz oaes.
There are thousands of men now
trying to. exc out miserable exist

Along the reck-bound shore the sun
shine crept;
Our little boat upon the summer sea
Rocked lightly, and merry crew were
we,
Yet eyes were there which bitter tears
had wept,
And hearts were there that lonely secrets
kept,
Even as Oh the reefs lay winter, wrecks
Of riven masts and ruined quarter decks,
While in the sunny sea the dead men
slept;
And tears will fall again, and storms
will break,
Hearts will beat low, and faces Will grow
And yet new dawns will blush and sea
birds wake.
Our God was with our gladnsss. Come
what may.
Nothing can rob US of a perfect day,
Nor of the faith that such days shall no.:
