LONG ETI1f or 4 HORSE.
Their Usefulness Throughout Life De-
ponds on Their Gaze.

The usefulness Of our working animals
depends on their care ana feeding The
late DR. Fisher had a team Of mules that
were supposed 20 be eighteen years OF
age, and yet they worked constantly.
writer IN the Country Gentleman, OF
a recent date. says:
IL IS common opinion that a horse of
twelve years Is too old for service, but l
nave one at the present time that Is ihir-
ty years old, and good for a ride of thirty
miles day yet. lie Is doing his usual
work, and keeps his level beside mule
only six years old in the pI)W. or the
wagon. / once bought mule that was
said 10 be torty-tiye years Old, and the
evidence was certainly trustworthy thAr
he had been worked IN one family thirty
five years, as I bought him from the
grandson Of the man who had him all
that time. ] taink l am correct in say
ing that the noted trDtliug mare. Gold
smith Maid, went into the breeding stable
only when tWenty-siX years old, ana
many Of the best Of the racers have llNei
over thirty years.
There is a record OF a Shire horse in
England that reached the axe Of h,ty-
nine years, at which his teeth and eyes
were stlll good, and he was then pen
stoned or by his owner on farm. Ny
fOrty-uVe-year-Otd mule did good service
drawing empty railroad cars into a mine
which | was then working, to be loaded
with iron ore, and / kept him at it TWO
years, when | gave him 70 the person
who bought out my interest I'm the prop
erty. He was stil at the same work two
years after that. My old horse is still
able to shell his corn as we'll as my
young mules can. and hOw much longer
ne viii work / suppose depends on mis-
ability TO feed, which just at present
seems 10 be assured for several years, as
evnced by his vigorous neigh when | go
into the stable at feeding time. And oc-
casionally he takes colt-lIke frolic with
his companions in the pasture
Now, If IL Is possible for a horse. by
means Of good feeding and general care,
10 live and work 10 Sucu an age as this
how much is the aggregate loss which
occurs through neglect and mismanage-
ment on al the farms I'm the country
/ have had this horse ten years, and
he has never missed a feed or had a mo-
me8ts sickness. He had been used with
kindness. AMI has never been touched
by q whip since I have owned him, al
ways having been eager TO work, and
kind and gentle. His knowledge IS so
wide and accurate that IL shows how
much more valuable for use a horse Of
this age may become than a young one.
for he understands many things said %
him, and thus saves lots of trouble; he
can be used in the CultivatOr without 4
line, and will as carefully avoid trcaIiug
upon a plant I'm the end Of a row as T. ne
knew why he should not 10 IT, following
the rows accurately, and turning at the
ends without any guidance. And this edu-
cation, only possible after some years
acquaintance with an owner, is one more
advantage for an old horse.

CHAPTER n.

Let us 90 back a few weeks and con
meet the chain Of events.
The thunder Of a hundred guns had
been let loose at Charleston, and the
south was rushing to arms. Ono who
has not witnessed the beginning Of war
cannot comprehend the insanity Of ex-
element which accompanies the pas
aage Of each fateful day. We Of the north
were delaying, hoping, trying to make
ourselves believe that war would be
averted, though no one could tell how.
While we were delaying the south was
acting. No man IN any southern con-.
mnHity dared talk Of peace. While the
north raised regiments tho south put
hrigades into camp and planned a cam
paign. While the north waited the
south possessed itself Of fort after fort
The streets Of every city echoed the
tread Of marching men; every village
was aroused by the music Of tho fife aud
drum. That generation knew nothing
Of war. Men looked upon the waving
hsgs and rippling banners, the march
ing yolunteerSand the holiday attire and
said to each other:
"Then this is wal? Men who have
written Of war have deceived ua. There
is no suffering no wounded, no dead
Let US also join in the march.
But historians had not deceived them.
They were deceiving themselves. The
beginning Of war is merriment and
least The end is marked by thousands
of marble headstones bearing the single
word Unknown"--thoso and Grape
and tears and desolation, 1t is O'Clock
in the afternoon of one Of those never to
be forgotten spring days Of 1851, re-
membered now only by gray haired
men and women. The scene is the an
cient town Of Winchester, in the beau
tiful Shenandoah valley, tho garden
spot of the Old Dominion. Under cover
of wooden awning sheltering the front

business matters between us. It may be
years before there is any further call
for our legal talents in this or any other
Virginia town, Military law will soon
override everything.
The old lawyer rose up and passed
down stairs On his way home without
further remark, leaving Royal Kenton
in a brown study which was interrupt.
cd ~ minutes later by wild cheering On
tho street. He went down TO ascertain
the cause, and a man who had just vol
unteered swung his hat and replied;
"Hooray! We uns is gwino to send
fellers right ON to captur' Washington
and ole Abe Lincoln!"

A Creeper Tor Baby.

One Of the latest and best Of utility
"creepers" is very easily made. Gingham
is the fabric used First measure baby's
length and breadth, in order to allow the
little one chance for freedom Of mo-
ton. The gingham is then cut bag shape,
Il by II being the popular number of
inches. This, when sewed up at the sides
and bottom, is gathered into q band with
buttonholes and buttons. In each lower
corner openings have been made. These
are hemmed and are then ready for the
chubby legs. Drawing them up over the
child's limbs, You will find the dainty
clothes snugly incased and yet the limbs
of the toddler at libsty to move at will.

IT, I
cOUdrds clL JOltDtg mC''
ment, are in front Of Jacksons men.
The battery is wheeling into position,
when the Virginia regiment is ordered
10 charge it. Win a wild cheer, the
command dashes forward, but to meet
with such a withering yolley from the
western men that it falls back in con
fusion. Let us follow the company ON
the right. AS it falls back its captain is
left lying on the field The first lieu
tenant should be in command, but
neither he nor his fellow officer seeks to
rally the disorganized men. The com
pany is breaking back in mob right
under JacksOn's eyes, when Il private
seizes the flag from the panic stricken
color bearer and shouts
Halt, men, haiti Those who are
not towards will follow me-"
1t was too late to rally the company
as a whole. 1t was breaking back on
the reserve, headed by its two leuten-
ants, hut at the call to rally about 80
of the men turned and raised cheer
and followed the iiag. The sight Of tho
flag and the echo of the cheers put heart
into the beaten regiment. Something
! like order came out Of confusion, and q
|unoment later two-thirds of the regi-
nent were fighting over the guns, The
Ither regiments of the brigade moved
hp, and they came just in time. The
First Michigan and Fourteenth New
York were charging up to support the
Minnesota men aud save the guns.
And now for the space'of a quarter
Of an hour 5000 men fought with
bayonet, with clubbed muskets, with
