The Little King.

A little face to look at,
A little face to kiss,
Is there anything, I wonder,
That's half as sweet as this?
A little cheek to dimple
When smiles begin to grow,
A little mouth betraying
Which way the kisses 60.
A slender little ringlet,
A rosy little ear,
A little chin to CULVER,
When falls the little tear.
A little hand so fragile
All through the night TO hold,
Two little feet so tender
To tuck in from the cold.
Two eyes to watch the sunbeam
That with the shadow plays
A darling little baby
To kiss and love always.

One of the principal causes of heaves
in horses is the feeding of dusty or
dirty hay. Ordinary clean hay can
always be fed with safety if properly
cut up, moistened and mixed with
ground grain, but to feed the musty or
dirty sorts is very injurious. Glover,
owing to its liability to crumble, often
gets dirty, even after storage, and
should never be fed without beirg pre-.
viously moistened..

Every true idea is the key to unlock
new treasures. 1t is to the soul as the
opening of a gate into more magnifi'
cent garden, or the unsealing of 9
deeper and clearer we'll, or the discov'
cry of q new and richer mine oi
wealth.

TO pursue joy is to lose it. The only
way to get it is to follow steadily the
path of duty, without thinking of joy,
and then, like sleep, it comes most
surely unsought, and we "being in the
way" the angel of God, bright-haired
Joy is sure to meet us.

Hogs kept in confinement will eat
charcoal or even bituminous coal with
relish, and they are also fond of rotten
wood, these substances seeming to fur
nish desired, if not necessary, condi-
ment or appetizer. Charred corn once
a week is q welcome variation in the
fare of swine.

We may lose heaven by neutrality
as we'll as by hostility; by wanting oil
as we'll as by drinking poison. An
Improbable servant shall as much be
punished as a prodigal son. Undone
duty will undo our souls.

II seems to be settled fact now that the
Louisville & Nashville will build to Tusca-
loosa, and possibly to Meridian, by way
OF Birmingham, within the next twelve
months. The matter has been under con-
sideration for a long time, but the higher
officials OF the road have kept 1t quiet. II
is learned from reliable source, however,
that the officers Of the road are now max
ing estimates on the cost OF building the
Tuscaloosa branch.
The completion Of the Mineral railroad
from Birmingham to Woodstock, DIS
lance OF twcnty-eight miles, means some
thing more than an ordinary branch line
for transporting mine products and low
passengers. The distance from Woodstock
10 Tuscaloosa is only twenty-sevon miles.
The Louisville d Nashville road could
easily purchase the Cahaba Coal Mining
company's main line from Woodstock TO
BloCton, distance OF seven miles, ana
thus shorten the distance. In this event
there would be only twenty miles OF the
road TO DO built TO give the Louisville u
Nashville company direct line from BIZ
mingham TO Tuscaloosa.
II IL known that the Warrior Coal
Fields railroad is the name OF a proposed
line that IL to he built from Meridian via
Gainesville and Tuscaloosa TO some point
on the Louisville Il Nashvlle's main line,
twenty or thirty miles north OF Blrming.
ham The line has already been located
between Meridian and Tuscaloosa. A
force of men have commenced grading
the road bed at Meridian, and are coming
