The Story of a Story.

Some years ago an Englishwoman,
Miss Sewall. wrote n book entitled
" Black Beauty, or the Autobiogra-
ply of a Horse" She offered il TO
several publishers, who declined it.
Finally one was found who would
venture to bring it out, but hewould
give no more than ten pounds ster-
ling $500 for the manuscript. The
story was not Immediately success
full. but after a time il struck the pub
lie fancy, and it's sale was so rapid
that the publishers could not keepup
with the demand for the charming
little volume. Afterwards the story
was published in America. first by n
philanthropic and animal-lovinggen-
tleman of Boston, and afterwards by
several publishing houses in New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and
other cities. The sale i'm England has
now exceeded 100000 copies, while
that in the United States and Can
ada is placed at more than 100000,
and is still going on. The book has
been, or is being. translated into all
the languages of Continental Europe
and have just heard that editions
in Arabic and Turkish are under way.
These will pretty certainly be fol-
lowed by editions i'm japanese, Chi
nese, ond other Asiatic languages, so
that "Black Beauty bids fair to be
known TO the uttermost parts of the
earth. and all over il. The story is
one of great interest, and teaches the
lesson of kindness TO domestic am
mails in such a way that the reader
is not aware that he is being taught
at all. | know wealthy stock
raiser who says the horses and cat
tie on his ranch are better treated
than formerly, In consequence OF this
little book, which so impressed him
when he read il that he bought twen-
ty copies for distribution among his
employees. In Boston, Mr.. Angel,
the gentleman who published the
first edition in America, gave n copy
OF the book to every driver of truck
or cab who would call for il at his
office. Several hundred copies were
thus distributed, and their effects
were speedily perceptible. Many
owners of horses have distributed
numerous copies Of the book among
the men in their stables, or on their
farms or ranches, and this fact will
account for n considerable part Of
the enormous sale. And TO think
that the author received only $50 for
her work Well, she died before the
book achieved its popularity, and
her mother, her only near relative,
died soon afterwards. The English
publisher has complained bitterly
that the book was pirated in Amer
lea, and he no doubt honestly believes
that he was defrauded of many thou
sands of dollars i'm consequence. In
view of his great profits in England
it will not be easy to awaken much
sympathy in his behalf.-Exchange.

THE OLD BAND.

It's mighty good to get back to the old town
Considerin I've been away twenty years and
more,
Sence moved then to Kansas of course l see

A-comin back, and notice things that new
to me and strange,
Especially at evenin' when yer new band fel-
lers meet
In fancy uniforms and all, and play out on
the street
WHAT'S come of old Bill Lindsay and
the SaXhorn fellers-say?
| want to hear the old band play.
What's come of Eastman and Nat Snow, and
where's War Bennett at?
And Nate and Bony Meek, Bill Hart, Sam
Rich son, and that
Air brother of him played the drum as twicet
as big as jim?
And old Hi kerns, the carpenter-say, what =
become O him?
l make no doubt, yer new band, now's a
competenter band.
And plays their music more by note than
what they play by hand,
And stylisher and grander tunes; but some
hoW-anyway,
want to hear the old band play.
Such tunes as "John Browns Body and
"Sweet Alice" don't you know?
And "The Camels is A-comin'," and "John
Anderson, my Jo,'
And dozen others of 'em-''Number Nine"
and Number 'Leven"-
Was favoites that fairly made feller think
O. heaven.
And when the boys 'u'd saranade, I've laid
so still in bed
I've even heerd the locus blossoms droppin'
on the shed.
When Lily Dale er" Hazel Dell'' had sobbed
and died away
want to hear the old band play.
The new band maybe beats it, but the old

FARM FOR SALE .

Owing to the advancing years Of
my father, l have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village. Hav-
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry it on properly, I will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commendation
is necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one OF
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex.
cellent state of repair and pleas
antly located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day
The larger part of the farm is
in Morristown, where taxes are
comparatively low The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii
lage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc.,
all of which are within ID to Il
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold a few years since for $4,000.
1t contains 200 or 2I5 acres, but
if desired will reserve a part OF 1t.
Terms of payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000.

"The "anticipators is the name
of a new religious sect having its or
igin in Pike county, Penn. The
founder is Zachariah Myers, who
claims that one day last fall while
he was ploughing a cloud appeared
before him, and from it came voice
saving: "Before the century closes
the world will end and man will be
no more. Go tell thy people to pre-
pare. Tell them not to wait an
hour. There must be everlasting
prayer. The world is wicked; it is
reeking in it's own corruption. There
must be an end to it all soon. Mr..
Myers neighbors learned of the Wis
ion, and soon a congregation was
formed whose chief belief is in the ef-
ficacy of prayer and good works.
Mr.. Myers says the first sign of the
destruction of the world will be the
falling from the heavens of a hugh
ball of fire, starting a conflagration
which will continue until everything
is consumed. Like most advocates
of strange ideas, Mr.. Myers is thor
oughly in earnest, and feels confident
that the people at large will eagerly
accept his revelations.
