Jersey bull calves can be turned to good
account by making steers of them and
breaking them into oxen. They are active
and grow quickly. They will make a
handy team and lively one. Big. clumsy
cattle do well enough to haul heavy loads.
but the farmer wants a team which will
walk off promptly and be able to handle
an ordinary load. This the Jersey oxen can
do and they also possess another most ex-
cellept quality, an ability to stand the heat.
They lose their hair in summer and con-
stitutional characteristic natural for warm
weather. They can be well matched and
certainly nothing could be more tasty than
sleek yoke of cream-colored oxen The
boys would take pride in such team We
know of yoke of Jersey stays which have
done a great amount of work. They are
easy keepers and are very docile and
handy. A small boy can pillow with them.
and drive them anywhere sitting on the
wagon. We believe in Jerseys TOR the
butter districts and that Jersey bulls will
improve native cows for making butter,
but at the some time it is well to know
that the surplus bull calves will make
capital oxen, and mature early.

And, tired of waiting, crept into her bed;

When baby could rot spare.

He carries off with him my sunshine and light,
And restless, impatient long for the night,
AS one longs tor the day when at sea.
I'VE read in the papers till troubled alarmed,
Ny heart beats wild tattoo
My eyes grow dim with sickening dread,
And think of the murder's-the horrors just read
And fancy my daring oh, no not dead
There's noise harkl that's his COO coo!
A man is not troubled with visions and fears,
To which poor woman is bound.

She can make mans home of all places most dear
But there must stop-a foOtstep draws near
That's Harry-I know from the sound!

The Gale of 1890.

On the l4th day Of December, 1899. there
sailed from the port of Bath Is vessels, all
but one of them lumber laden for ports in the
West Indies and along the coast. The fleet
of 10 vessels, sailed from the Kennel bee with
a northerly wind on the afternoon of the l4th.
On the 10th, two days after sailing, a violent
northeast snowstorm prevailed, and of the Is
vessels that sailed from Bath two days be-
fore, only one, the ship United States, wealth
cred Cape Cod, the rest of the feet being
driven ashore on the rocky and dangerous
coast of Cape Cod The briggs Ritleout and
Austin went ashore on Peaked Hill Bar, but
short distance from each other. The crew
of the Rideout were all lost, while those of
the Austin reached the shore in safety. Only
one man of the Rideout is known to have
been resident of Bath, and his name was
Winter Hanes He left a young wife having
been married but a few w,eis. The brig
Democrat went ashore in Barnstable Bay,
the crew being saved. Schooner Margaret
struck on Scituate Beach, crew reaching
shore safely. All of the vessels that struck
were totally wrecked, aud the loss to Bath
was heavy by the disastrous gale.
For dozen years or more it has been the
custom of the shipwrecked survivors of that
memorable storm who are residents OF Bath
to hold ye rly reunion on the 10Th of De
cember. Since the first reunion their num-
Der has grown less, death having taken three
from earth. At the present time there are
only three Of the number, Elbridge G. Parsh-
ley, Capt. John Wolston and Frank Roach
known to be living of the men who were in

kill the leader with bullet. Indeed,

then came the reflection that it would be
little short of murder. Such another per-
feet horse had never seen. His black
coat shone like silk, his limbs and body
were perfection, and he had the speed
and bottom of a race-horse. Not halt

only preparatory TO taking swift de-
parture. The last man9uvre was a circle
at slow trot, and each horse whinned in
a cOaxing manner to my own steed. Poor
Selim! He struggled in the most frantic
manner to break loose, and when finding
all his efforts of no avail he threw himself
down on the grass and actually groaned
his disappointment.

Instead of rushing off in alright, as had
expected the leader of the band deliber.
ately approached me few rods and stood
and snorted and paved as if sending forth
a challenge. Then set up shouting,
waved the blanket some more, and he took
head, formed the band at
company 'front.'" and they went off at a
gallop and maintained it as long as l
could see the waving line.-Cor. Detroit

Platte, and was aroused just at daylight by
footsteps around me. After listening for
a moment felt sure that they were the
footsteps of horses. They seemed to be
circling around me-not at canter, not
at trot, but at moderate walk. It was
well that | had secured my horse in a
thorough manner, for never saw him SO
excited. He trugged and pulled at his
lariat, stood up on his hind legs. neighed
and snorted and paved and pranced, and
it was his actions that gave me clue to
the identity of my visitors.

With Angel Instinct.

A writer in the Pittsburg Commercial
Gazette says: Last week | met one of
those sweet women so aptly described by
somebody as having come into the world
with both hands outstretched like any dis
tributing angel's-one of the kind who
clasps tightly only one thing and that is
cornucopia of goodness, gentleness,
sympathy and charity which is at the de-
mand of every one in sorrow, need, sick
ness or any other adversely. Does any
one weep? Hers is the heart to response.
Is any one in needp Hers is the purse to
be opened and emptied. Is any one sick
unto deathp She is prompt to don nurses
cap and apron, and share the night watches
until the final hour comes. She is not an
angel; no, far from it. She is only
dipped in ''angel instincts" which keep
her heart open to every tale OF sorrow
A great grief had suddenly come upon
her. and those who had been ever well
come to pour their troubles into her listen
ing ear came from far and near to render
sweet coincidence and gracious sympathy.
Her sef-sacrifice, her zeal in all good
works, her intelligent activity and practi-
cal faculty, had won for her the sincere
love of very wide circle, and when her
own time of deep affection came she was
abundantly sustained by evidences of de
votion which can only be the lot of char
acters like her own. Would that there
were more such women in the world, car
rying benedctions by their very presence.
In marked contrast to them are those
other women, who, almost as soon as they
are born, take their places at the receipt
of custom and exact tithes from every
passer by. Selfish and helpless, they are
burdens to their friends and acquaintance
but somehow the liptels of their dwellings
are marked with sign of safety, and they
live on as parasites upon those who are
the fittest to survive
