Tom, on the contrary, was in the bes

He casually mentioned, on rising from

curiously enough, she did not even men

Tom found his wife alone in the par

As courteous and attentive as his hostess
was, John felt i'll at ease. He had toe
much tact and good breeding to make any
allusion to her former life, so their CONVEX

places.
So the dinner was not very enlivening

the same"
Upon these words the ghost vanished,

Six Potatoes to a Load.

l was amused few days since in watch
+ ing a company of laborers at work dig
cling potatoes in field in valley Of the
Rimac, writes traveller from Peru. A
team Of oxen plowed up the hills with a
light pillow, leaving the tubers exposed on
the ground. Six Indian workmen picked
up the potatoes and carried them to pile
in one corner of the field. while the over
seer, Spaniard, stood in majestic and dig
nifed idleneSs watching the work. The
men who were picking Up the potatoes
had neither pail, bag nor box in which to
carry them. Two of them put the pota-
toes in their hats and the Others car
ried them in their hands, each one
going from every part of the field
to the piles in one corner, carrying FIVE or
six potatoes each trip. Here were eight
men and team of oxen engaged in doing
work which in America would be done by
one man and a boy Philadelphia CdE.

innocent recreation of the aged and in
firm, it takes on a blight and curse with
the introduction of that, the love of which,
as Paul observed to Timothy, is the root
of all evil. Nor is the money eonsidera-
ton essential to enjoyment. AS to the
game of draw poker, which has obtained
such vogue and favor in America, on ac-
count of its essentially gambling features,
nogentleman ought to play it though many
gentlemen do. 1t is distinctly not gem
tleman's game. As in stock gambling,
which is still worse, the advantages inev-
itably go to sharp practice, too often car
ried to point dangerously near to down
right stealing, though most games of
chance and skill t8rn upon ingenuity and
artifce wherein Somebody is bound to
have the best of it.

Physiognomy of Horses.

Unless horse has brains you can't teach
him, says the Medical Classics. See that
tall bay there, fine looking animal, tif-
teen hands high. You can't teach that
horse anything. Why? Well, Pll show
a difference in heads, but have a care of
his heels. Look at the brute's head, that
rounding nose, that tapering forehead,
that broad, full place before the eyes. You
can't trust him. That's an awful good
mare, as true as the sun. You can see
breadth and fullness between the ears ano
eyes. You couldn't hire that mare to act
mean or hurt anybody. The eye should
be full, and hazel is a good color.
like horse with small, thin ear, anG
want him to throw his ears well forward
Look out for the brute that wants to lister
to all conversation going on behind him
The horse that turns back his ears til
they almost meet at the points, take my
word for it, is sure to do something wrong
A horse with dishing face is cowardly
and cowardly brute is usually vicious
Then like a square muzzle, with large
nostrils, to let plenty air to the lungs
For the under side of the head, gooc
horse should be we'll cut under the jowl
with iawbones broad and wide apart under
the throttle.
The next thing to consider is the built
of the animal Never buy long-legged
stilted horse. Let him have a short
straight back and straight rump, ant
you've got a gentleman's horse. Thu
withers should be high and the shoulder
well set back and broad, but don't get then
too deep in the chest. The foreleg shoult
be short. Give me pretty straight hint

Public Highways.

Editors of the Kennebee Journal: -
The United States - . nation has sd-
vanced in the arts and sciences and in re-
sources, in its great international relations,
and in almost everything that goes to make
up great nation, in degree unrivalled by
any other nation since the foundation of the
world. In its vast ACHE vements and in ito
tremendous strides there. some thngs have
been left-switched of-till more oppor-
tune time and one Of these very impor-
tant side issues 10 the Improvements Of
our public roads and highways. That We
are not up to other nations in this respect,
is matter of fact, however unwilling We
may be to acknowledge it. That our roads
in Maine are not as good - in other
States, we must acknowledge and
the question IL. what 10 to be done? We
are told by Brother Burleigh and others
that legislation is what is wanted to eQualixe
the taxes, and have no doubt but II 10 true.
IL is time something was done on that score,
but legislation looking to the improvement
Of our public thoroughfares has been neg
lected. put by, and laid on the table until
now it seems the time has come when the
demand Is imperative and unless we make
an immediate move we shall undoubtedly
be the losers.
II is fact that the value Of property 10
in proportion to the facilities for reaching
il from our Maine centres. Taking this
for granted. | am convinced. and have
been for q long time. that every thou
sand dollars laid out in the improve
ments on our highways-and what I
mean by improvements 10, not only grazing
and getting around the hills, but thorough
examination of all roads leading from our
large cities and villages to the county
with . view Of laying out, whether all new,
roads as the public require. without re-
gard to pleasing the few and without ex-
pecting to have the road pass every mans
house. I say every thousand dollars ex-
pended in this way will enharc zee the value
Of farm property more than four-fold.
There is one other thing that ought to be
done, or undone, and that is, the law re-
curing petitioners for new road or for
alterations to pay the commissioners costs
if the road is not laid out or
the alterations made. The above Law 10
menace to the public improvement Of our
highways and ought to be repealed. hope
something will be done at the next meeting
of our Legislature. looking to the improve
ment of our public roads, and one thing
will be TO repeal the Law above alluded
to. Ii seems to me that IL the Law was
changed ard the petitioners required to pay
the costs if ,he road eas laid out. it would
be more reasonable.
