And, if so, had he been as prompt
in his conclusions to lift some burden
from her shoulders, and in every pos
sible way to try to make life easier
for her?
remembered how readily he had
excused the faults of his horse, how
he had used patience and kindness in
dealing with them, and l wondered
if his wife's faults had received the
same degree of leniency at his hands.
1t had been matter of study with
him to learn the peculiarities of his
horse, that he might so shape his ac-
lions as might best conform with
them. Had he ever thought of try
ing this plan with his wife? Or had
he left most of this adapting business
for her to do?
Again, l remembered how his eyes
had frightened, his voice softened,
and how he had shown genuine affec-
ton for his horse, as he stroked and
petted her with feeling of pride. l
wondered how often he showed as
much for his wife. And why was it?
Was she less deserving? Or was she
less able to appreciate any token of
affection?
Sixteen years ago he could talk OF
his love in as fervent tones as any
one. Why the change? Had the
story become an old one until ii
seemed not worth repeating? If so,
why had not the habit Of petting his
horse been laid aside for the same
reason?
All! Mr.. B., / am afraid these
would be hard questions for you tC
answer. am quite sure that you
still love your wife; but the trouble
is that you have allowed your tongue
to get rusty on the subject.
You do no wish to have her over
work herself and grow prematurely
old; and yet you have carelessly
overlooked the fact that she is doing
SO. Ifyou allow things togo on a.
they are, you may wake up to some
very painful truths, when it is just {
little too late.
Permit me to suggest that you taxi
some spare hour to think over an(
study this matter. See what can b,
done to Tighten the wife's burdens
and increase her pleasures.
DO it in manly, generous spirit
} and do it today. Every effort O
yours in this direction will make he
a better woman, better wife and
better mother.
And it will makeyou a better man
You will be a gamer in every direC
ton, and will find it to be an invest
ment that will pay larger dividend
: than any money you ever invested
} or the biggest crop youever raised O
your well-managed farm.

Description of the Bartoldi Statue

Bartholdi's mother was the model
for the statue. 1t is her face that
looks out toward the wave-washed
horizon from the shores of the new
to the skies of the old world. Liber-
ty is represented in the work as
woman clad in peplum and tonic,
which fall in ample folds from waist
and shoulder to her feet. The left
foot, a trifle advanced, supports the
main weight of the body. The right
arm is uplifted in vigorous move
ment and holds alott blazing torch.
The left hand grasps tablet on
which is inscribed the date of the
declaration of American independ-
ence, 18th July, 1776." The tablet is
held rather close to the body and at
slight angle from it. The head is
that of a handsome, proud and brave
woman. 1t is crowned with a dia-
dem. The arrangement of the dra-
peries is feature of especial excell-
ence. There is great merit in the dis
position of that portion Of the dra-
peries flung back over the left should
er, the folds of which hang obliquely
to the right side of the waist and
thence downward almost to the right
knee, thus breaking the montony of
the perpendicular lines formed by
the folds of the tonic beneath. The
movement of the uplifted right arm
is charterized by certain elan, which
however does not suggest violence
the carriage of the head is dignifed
and the face is fine in its proportions
and expression.
The grandgoddess of modern civil.
zation, standing nearly $50 feet above
the ground, rises l5l feet and 2 inches
into the air, making its total height
above low water 3O5 feet 6 inches
The top of the torch is q feet higher
than the spire of Trinity Church, thu
tallest in New York.
Some idea of the immensely of the
figure is furnished in this way: Thu
copper sheets used in its construction
are three sixteeths of an inch thick
the forefinger measures s feet il
length and feet in circumference a
the second joint; the nail measures
inches in length by 10 in breadth tn
head is II feet inches high the ey
is % inches wide; the nose is 8 fee
8 inches long. OF the total weight G
this stupendious figure, 44O, 0O0pounds
1855, 900 are copper, the remainder be
, ing wrought iron. About forty pei
sons can find standing room in tn
head. A siX-foot man standing o.
the level of the lips only reaches tn
, eyebrow. Fifteen people might 81
around the frame of the torch.

for greater ones. For these are sure
ly coming to everyone of us if we
continue to live in this world. Only
by going out of it can we escape be-
reavement. We must lose friends or
they must lose us. And piercing
griefs come in other ways and are the
lot of all. This is not a fact to dis
tress ourselves over in advance; but
it is one that demands preparation.
In yielding to Gods will. e. to the
incident to the lot in which he has
placed us-in small matters, we are
gaining strength to meet the greatest
ones as they rise. K. A. S.

Resignation in Little Things.
Indiana Farmer.

Indiana Farmer.
Whether it is true that "God fore
ordains whatsoever cometh to pass"
or not, it is certainly His will that
we submit to the inevitable as readi-
ly and as cheefully as we can, in lit
tie things as well as great. Many
christians bow submissively to a be-
reavement, yet are constantly over
come by the petty trials of every day.
They do not try to bear these in a
spirit of submission and patience.
For the idea has somehow obtained
that God has something special to
do with death, more than with the
events of life. Strange how it origi-
mated. There is nothing in reason,
nothing in revelation to give it sane
ton. Find a reason for it who can.
Search the Bible from Genesis to Rev.
Citations and you will not find it. All
that would point to the hand of God
in death points also to him in life.
The little ills often most concern
our lives, for they are constantly re.
curing and our spiritual growth de.
ponds largely upon how these are
borne. Improperly, if we practice
resignation when there is no lawful
escape from them, they become step.
ping stones from heaven. They arc
transformed from hindrances to helps
and promote a healthy, vigorous
growth in the divine life. On the
contrary, if we chafe and fret under
vexations crosses of our will, which
come to all in some way as daily
experience, if in these we are FESTIVE
and rebellious, our progress will b.
slow and feeble, for we are thwartins
the divine purpose in them. If tn,
large Affections are for our good, TIL
small ones are also. And this w,
know, that it is no accident that w,
are placed in a wcrld full of thes
petty trials which seem so large to us
and which are often greivous to b
borne. They are given for a dali,
practice in overcoming. We are t
help ourselves out of them, or seel
help out of them; yet until thay ar
removed they serve as a daily an,
excellent exercise in patience, and il
that same resignation to which w
are so often exhorted in the loss c
friends.
One reason why we should practic
, resignation in the petty trials of lii
is that we may be the better prepare

Horses and Wives.

C. L. H., in Western Plowman.
"She's a fine animal, and as good
for her years as can be found in this
country" said farmer B., as he pat
ted the arched neck and smoothed
the long name of his fine looking
mare, exhibiting not onlya great deal
of pride, but of genuine affection.
"How old?" he continued, in an
swer to my question. sixteen, last
June, the fourth day. l raised her
from a colt, and she was born the
same year 1 was married.
''Gentle? Well, gentle enough for
me. She has a few tricks but they
were born in her-can't get them out
to save you. But then they don't
mount to much when you get accus-
toned to them.
"She used to shy at everything she
saw, and kick in the stall, but have
broken her of those habits. Done it
through kindness, too. She won't
stand no beatin'. She's pretty high
strung, she is, and what gentleness
won't do with her, can't be done at
ALL"
"Would you sell her?" 1 asked.
"No, sir!" was the emphatic reply.
No separating of us Till death us dc
part, as the parson says. She's been
a faithful beast, and no one else could
understand her and get along with
her as | can"
And again he smoothed her glossy
coat, as he coaXed her to drink.
"Fallin' off a little, l do believe
he added, as he passed hishands over
the plump sides. "That won't do
old Kate. We must add alittle more
grain, or drop off some of you
work"
Just then a woman came to the
pump for a pail of water. She was
leading child by the hand, and vain
ly trying to quiet it, while another
some two years older, was following
close to her heels, crying for a drink
of water. The woman was plainly
but neatly dressed, and her genera
appearance was such as to win a ia
vorable impression. Her face, whicl
showed that she had not seen NOR
than thirty-five years, was well mark
ed with deep lines of care, tellin,
plainly that she had borne an ampl
share of the burdens of life.
'Do try to have dinner on time, to
day, wife," said Mr.. B., addressing
her in a fretful, harsh tone, quite dii
ferent from the one he had just bee
using to his horse. ~ am tired c
waiting ten or fifteen minutes ever
day for my dinner"
The wife's quiet answer shove
that she had become accustomed
this tone and style OF address. Sh
filed her large pail to the brim, an
with it III one hand and the frettin
child on the other, hurried her steI
towards the ho,ise.
The pump at which this occurre
was near the roadside, and answere
the triple purpose of furnishing waite
for the travelling public, for Mr. b
barn, and for his house. In point {
convenience, however, it was furthes
from the house.
Having watered my own horse,
continued my journey, bordering Q
what had seen and heard at tn
waysidepump.
1t is a pretty hard thing to say of
man that he cares more for an Of
horse than for his wife, and even Fa
mer B. would resent such an accus
ton. But the query arose, why WI
it that he spoke so much more plea
antly to his horse than to his wife
And l wondered whether he ha
been as quick to note the faded a
pearance of the latter, with the de-
wrinkles forming about her face.

Cattle Plague In India.

WASHINGTON Cry, Sept 2l.--Consul,

cattle plague known as ''rinderpestr prevails

Large quantities of baled hides, dried and
salted, are shipped from India to the United

subject of the liability of our cattle in Amer
lea to contract the rinderpest from the i'm
portation of the hides of cattle which have
died with the disease, content myself with
reporting the facts only as they came TO my
