This IS probably an Old hunting expression
20 signify herd of deer. In Prescott's
''Phillp the Sccond,' quoted by Strype and
Holiagshead, IS the following: "They hunted
the deer, and were 50 greedy Of their destruc-
ton that they killed them rag and tag, with
hands and swords" The word tegg, or tag,
signifies, according 20 Bailey, "a doe in tho
second year Of her age" Rag Is defined by
the same writer as "a herd OF young colts" |"
but elder authors have raeg 10 signify herd
Of deer at rafting time Bobtail means q
fawn Just after it has been weaned Tag and
bootal ara used in the saEne sense when
speaking Of sAeep, but rag does not seem to
be known IN this connection The complete
original sense OF the phrase ''tag, rag and
beb.sl" seems to have been a collection Of
sheep or deer, Of al sorts mixed indiscrimi-

The Mules Virtues,
From the Country Gentlemen.

From the Country Gentlemen.
The mule is very rarely sick-not
nearly so often sick as is the horse.
Its hoofs are much sounder. 1t is not
apt to be injured, n t being so easily
frightened. 1t will do the same
amount of work on two-thirds the
amount Of food required by the horse.
1t will eat cOarser food. When prop
erly bred and handled, it is fully as
trustworthy and industrious as the
horse, and more docile than the horse.
The docility and patience of the ass
are proverbial. The mule endures
exposure better than the horse. IL
will endure neat better, and / have
never been able to perceive that it did
not endure cold as we'll, although the
notion that it can not is general.
But there is no good reason why it
should not endure the weather of the
northern states. While the mule is
most used in warm climates, it is also
used in regions where the tempera-
ture is fully as low as in our northern
states, and there lasts longer than do
our horses.

A Toad 10000 Years Old.

Miss Amelia B. Edwards forwards
to the Chicago Times the following
extract from letter from Greenock
gentleman well known tor his arch
geological and scientific tastes: 81
suppose you have often heard of toads
being found in pieces of rock, coal
etc., when broken open by the work.
mems pick. 1 have today just seen
one, taken out of bed of clay on
Tuesday last, the 18th inst, in a new
railway cutting at present being made
here. 1t is alive, but very inactive
and semi-torpid. 1t seems to have no
bones, it is so limp, and its legs bend
any way. 1t has two beautiful eyes,
but does not seem to see. Its mouth
is sealed up; but it seems to breathe
very slightly through its nostrils,
though how it breathed imbedded in
clay it is hard to say. If it is 10000
to 80, 900 years since the Glacial Pc
riod, when the clay was deposited,
this toad goes long way back into
hoary antiquity, and was probably
contemporaneous with the progenitors
of Menes himself. But the toad lives
still.n

From the Youths Companion.
Even the small affairs of domestic
life bring their temptations, trivial in
seeming, but often mighty, and show
ing, according as they are yielded to
or resisted, the stuff of which our
characters are formed. Here is little
confession, taken from the lips of a
schoolgirl, and set down in her own
words:
"Tve begun to find such little mean
streaks in myself that Pm quite
frightened. Guess what I was tempt
ed to do the other day | was wash
ing the dishes for mamma, and when
I got to the tins and kettles / was dis
Outraged. They did look so greasy
and black, and I've always been a lit
tie vain of my hands ~
"'Im going to Kitty Merrills party
tonight | thought, and | want to
keep my hands nice for that. I'll
leave these for mamma; it won make
any difference with her hands, be-
cause she can't keep them nice, any
way"
"Then something seemed to say to
me, oh, you little coward Oh, you
little sneak! To be willing to have
whittier hands than your mother
Aren't you aShamed?'
~ was ashamed, and washed the
kettles pretty humbly, can tell you.
i felt as if they weren't half as black
as L. Since then I've watched all my
thoughts, for fear shall grow so
wicked mamma won't own me. I've
learned pretty thoroughly what the
minister means when he talks about
the little foxes that spoil the grapes
of a fine character ~

A HACKM AN.

By MAC.
Oh! I'm a pirate king,
A pirate king of hacks;
/ get 'em in the thing,
And then l pile on tax.
Oh! I'm q pirate king,
And rob 'em by the dollar.
get 'em in the thing,
And then / make 'em boiler.
Oh I'm a dandy pirate,
And steal from women folks;
They often get quite irate
At my expensive jokes.
Oh! I'm a king of hacks,
1 slyly catch them where if
They don't pay my tax
l stick on still more tariff.
Oh! I'm a pirate king,
And I'm a cruel thief;
Once 1 get 'em in the thing
They're sure to come to grief.
Yes I'm a pirate slick
And bleed the transients deep
To see me do the trick
Would make train robbers weep
