George Washington's Horses.

St. Nicholas.
Washington never lost his liking
for a good horse, and he knew what
a good horse was. He had a servant
who had been General Braddock's
servant, and had been with Washing
ton ever since the battle of the Mo-
nongahela. Bishop, as hewas named,
was terrible disciplinarian, and de-
voted to his masters interest. At
sunrise every day, he would go to the
stables, where the boys had been at
work since dawn grooming the Gen
erals horses. Woe to them if they
had been careless! Bishop marched
in with a muslin handkerchief in his
hand and passed it over the coats of
the horses; if single stain appeared
on the muslin, the boy who groomed
the horse had to take a thrashing. 1t
was no light matter to groom horse
IN those days, for, just as the heads of
gentlemen were plastered and be-
wigged, so the horses were made to
undergo what would seem to us now
rather absurd practice. The night
before horse was to be ridden, he
was covered from head to foot with
paste made of whiting and other
ingredients; then he was well wrap
ped in cloth and laid to sleep on clean
straw. By the next morning the
paste had hardened, and it was then
vigorously rubbed in, and the horse
curried and brushed. The result was
a glossy and satiny coat. The hoofs
were blackened and polished, the
mouth washed, the teeth picked and
cleaned, and the horse was then
ready to be saddled and brought out.

Driver Ants.

st. Nicholas.
There are certain ants that show
wonderful intelligence, and the
"driver ants" not only build boats,
but launch them, too; only, these
boats are formed of their own bodies.
They are called "drivers" because of
their ferocity. Nothing can stand
before the attacks of these little crea-
lures. Large pythons have been
killed by them in single night,
while chickens, lizards, and other
animals in Western Africa flee from
them in terror. To protect them
selves from the heat, they erect
arches under which numerous armies
of them pass in safety. Sometimes
the arch is made of grass and earth
gummed together by some secretion,
and again it is formed by the bodies
of the larger ants, which hold them
selves together by their strong nip
pers, while the workers pass under
them.
At certain times of the year, fresh
cts overflow the country inhabited
by the drivers" and it is then that
these ants to go to sea. The rain
comes suddenly, and the walls OF
their houses are broken in by the
flood, but instead Of coming to the
surface in scattered hundreds and be.
ing swept off to destruction, out ofthe
ruins rises a black ball that rides safe
ly on the water and drifts away. Al
the first warning Of danger, the little
creatures rush together, and form 6
solid ball of ants, the weaker in thC
center; often this ball is larger then {
common baseball, and in this way

A THING OF BEAUTY.

A thing of beauty is joy forever;
Its loneliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet
breathing.
Therefore, on every morrow we are wreath
ing
A aowery band to bind us to the earth.
Spite of dependence of the inhuman dearth
OF noble natures, Of the gloomy days,
OF all the unhealthy and DER darken'd
ways
Made for our searching yes, in,spite of all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the pail
From our dark spirits, Such the sun, the
moon,
Trees old and young, sprouting shad boon
For simple sheep, and such are dafodils,
With the green world they live in; and clear
rills
That for themselves cooling covert make
'Gainst the hot season the mid.forest brake,
Rich with sprinkling of fair musk rose
blooms;
And such, too, is the grandeur of the dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead;
All lovely tales that we have heard or read /;
An endless fountain of immortal drink,
Pouring unto us from the heavens brink.
For do we merely feel these essences
For one short hour; no, even as the trees
That whisper round a temple become soon
Dear as the temples self, SO does the moon
The passion poesy, glories infinite
Haunt us till they become cheering light
Unto our souls, and bind us SO fast,
That, whether there be shine, or gloom DER.

They always must be with us, or we die.

Omaha World.
Do not "choose an opposite" You
will be opposite enough in time.
Take your mothers advice on the
question of a husband, provided she
took her mothers.
Either put your foot down on his
cigar before marriage, or make up
your mind to keep quiet about it
afterward.
Learn to cook and sew if you can;
but above all things learn to keep
still and look sweet when mad
enough to take the roof off.
See and hear all the plays, operas
and concerts you can during the en-
gagement. Bad weather is very apt
to interfere after marriage.
When furnishing a house make
sure of an easy chair, foot-rest, an
open CRATE and a corn-popper if you
would enjoy the bliss of matrimony
to the full. sa
Don't ask your brother about the
personal habits of a sutton. He can't
tell enough to matter without giving
himself away, and he won't do that.
Do not be offended when his sister
involuntarily wonders what any wo-
man of taste can see in him to adj
mire. Remember how you hate your
own brother.
If he asks if you can sew on buttons
answer emo" A man who has not
at some time or other been obliged
to sew on his own buttons lacks q
very necessary part of life's discip'
line.

THE TAYLOR BROTHERS.
Talmage on the Tennessee Campaign.

Special to the American.
Brooklyn, Sept. 17.-Dr. Talmage
continued his Friday night lectures
in the Brooklyn Tabernacle this
evening, taking for his theme the
gradual lowering of public morals. In
the end, however, the right was sure
to triumph. The harmonious cam
paign of the Taylor brothers in Ten
nessee was cited as an encouraging.
sign. DR.. Talmage said in conclu-
sion:
But see streak of light in the
sky. 1t is over the mountains in
Tennessee. 1t promises a political
dawn that I pray may flood the con-
tinent. Two brothers, Alfred and
Robert Taylor, are running for Gov
ernor; the one Republican, the
other Democrat. They occupy the
same room at night; they stand on
the same platform by day toannounce
sentiments point blank opposite,
and yet Robert says to the crowd that
proposes to hoot Alfred: "When
you insult brother you insult me-"
Two men exactly opposite in senti-
ment yet sublimely courteous. 1
wonder if this is prophecy that the
night of political blackguardism shall
vanish, and the dawn of political de-
cency is here. What an autumnal
election that would make all over the
land if the candidates acted like
brothers. Heretofore it has been a
perpetual pulling down of character

In the Wilderness.

AlttI dll, HeImlI very bOOu SelS
used to living without the world. 1
should say it would take him at least
two or three days to become accus-
toned to living alone. The world is
too big anyhow. There are too many
people in it. 1t is crowded and hot,
dusty and noisy. You gettired of it.
And, indeed, you don't miss it any
more than it misses you. Now, when
we came up here to Forest lake we
didn't know where it was, nor how
to get there, nor indeed that there
was such place. We came as far as
we knew the road, then confessed
honestly that we were lost and didn't
know where we were nor where we
wanted to go, and a man gave us a
pilot and he landed us here. Well,
we pitched out tents and for three
weeks we were happy in this lonely,
beautiful little Eden of emerald
meadows, blue mountains, crystal
lakes, and singing brooks. We didn't
see paper, we never got a letter.
Who was dead, married or born in
all the month of June we knew not.
Sometimes we wondered in vague
sort of way, but in general we didn't
think much about it. A happier
month of undisturbed quiet, peaceful
ease, perfect rest, no man ever en-
joyed. In an evil hour some one
brought us a mail. We sighed, and
if railway train had rushed out of
the mountains and swan across the
lake the next minute, we wouldn't
have been surprised. We read the
letters the newspapers lay in their
unbroken wrappers for nearly three
weeks more before they were opened.
Did we come out into the woods to
read about weddings and murders,
and revivals and burglaries and
dances and funerals, and faith cures
and hangings, and sermons and de-
falcations, and christenings, and po-
lice court proceedings, and picnics
and shipwrecks, and frolics and
fights, and donations and parties, and
foreign missions and Chinese massa-
ores, and civil service reform and en-
bezzlements, and all the other things
that 60 to make up life in the great
big world? Not much.
| What care we for the mighty and
wealthy land of Egypt where men
fight, and perspire, and toll, and
strive, and hate, and hope, and love,
and fear? Here at Elm there are Il
wells of water and threescore and ten
palm trees, so we encamp here by
the waters. There is no one to melest
or make us afraid, except the bears
and they are afraid of us; we dwell
under our own vine and fig tree in 6
land where stones are as plentiful a.
silver dollars are in the treasury, ant
the cedars are as sycamore trees il
