MISS SPINNER'S DIARY.
July nth, 1 .
"Come now, Sallic, set the day.
What's the use of fooling any longer?"
Deacon Scratcher ought to have had
better sense than to begin that old
song then, when my loveliest pie that I
had spent fifteen minutes in crimping
with the shovelhandle, had just tum
bled oft' the stove-hearth upsido down
and killed itself.
"Deacon," said I "you are several
shades worse than the sevciitccn-year
locusts. I wish you would walk out of
here."
"I won't." said he, "till I get an
answer. Will you please to decide?"
" Decide what?"
" Whether you'll be Lira. Scratcher.
or an old maid?"
"Verily, I will If you give mo timo."
" How much time do you want?"
" Only a few years."
"Why don't you say a couple of dec
ades? You'ro thirty-six and I'm forty
six. Ninety is a good age to get mar
ried at!"
" Yes," I said, searching carefully in
the wood-box for tho nutmegs (which
had fallen off the cupboard), "and von
do need a few years more at school if
you mean that for an arithmetical cal
culation." It was bad of me to worry
him, but then it was baking-day, and I
think I got up wrong side out this
morning, too.
Ho jumped off tho meal-chest, where
he had been doubled up like a Chinese
fan.
" 1 won't wait tho twentieth part of a
minute longer," ho vowed, and went
prancing round "the kitchen in the
most tragic manner, and the worst pos
"sible temper.
" Oh, look out!" I squalled, "you've
got your big foot on my best crinkled
pie pan!"
Ho kicked it under the stove like a
savage, and then went dashing round
every way.
"Give me an answer," he kept roar
ing, "an answer an answer. I'll have
an answer!" and I had to lty about like
a top to get my pies and gingerbread
out of tho Avayifor I had strung them
out on the lloor all around the stove,
and he would have capered over them
rough-shod.
"Quit quit," I cried, brandishing
the flour-scoop. "You great, big jug
gernaut, if you don't quit capering, I'll
bhy the sifter at your head. Give mo a
day no, give me two days, and I'll tell
vou." I hen lie stopped.
"Is that tho truth, solemn?"
asked.
"That's the truth, solemn," 1
he
au-
swered.
So now here 1'vo only got two days
to decide whether I'll stay Sallie Spin
ner with no one to love, nono tokindlo
the lire for me, or bo Mrs. Deacon
Scratcher, and have to iron shirts. Per
haps I had better ask the advice of my
married friends and relatives.
July 1-lUi. I got 1113' first installment
of advice without asking!
Being in a meditative frame of mind,
I had just kind of slicked things up,
swept the dust uuder the edge of the
zinc, and jammed all the papers and
such behind the door, and was rev
cling in the society of my rocking
chair and a green apple, when cousin
Juliana Pike came over to borrow a
lemon.
"Well. I've got on o somowhero," I
said, "if it isn't in tho cupboard or my
work-basket, perhaps you 11 find it in
an old trunk in the smoke-house."
"Mercy on us," said Juliana, " why
don't you be systematic?"
"System and Sallie Spinner don't
travel hand in hand through this wicked
world," said I, rocking away placidly.
Juliana is one of the fidgety kind.
"Can't you quit see-sawing a min
ute?" she asked, squirming around un
til she knocked the coffee-pot out of
the window, "what arc you fooling away
your time for any way, when your work
is not half done?"
"'Tis half done," I said, "and Tni
tired. My constitution is fragile and dif
ficult to comprehend"
"Shucks!" interrupted my imper
tinent cousin, "it's pure laziness.
What ever you'll do when Sallie, let
me advise "you never to get married.
Your fragile constitution would be
bound to get fractured if you had to
spond your days as the rest of tis do
picking up hats," coals and boot-jacks
for a living, not to mention hunting
nails, strings and hammers, at all hours
of the day, turning the grindstone by
way of recreation, reading old dry mar
ket reports at night, till you couldn't

"Enough!" I cried, "tell

July 15lh. More advice! I ran over
to Mrs. Drydox's to get a .night-cap
pattern. She was cleaning house, had
all the chairs stacked up outside the
door, and she looked as if her last
friend was buried under them, as she
sat on the step clasping the dusting
brash with visible dejection. Said I:
"What tower is fallen, what star is
set? What chief comes there"
Eying me with dismal scorn, she in
terrupted "Ain't nothin' fallen, as I know of,
nor set neither only "the old dominiken
Lin."
"Why then this pathetic attitude,
this"
"Sallie," said she, "don't never set

"That's so," sang out Mrs. Flitter,
who came hopping up on the porch

like a frisky grasshopper with a stiff

"You don't begin to know 'em,

increased dejection, "they'll call you

The Young Lawyer's First Case.
The young lawver conducting hi?
first case before a jury is worthy of the
deepest commiseration. Take him. for
instance, in tho Criminal Court, before
which he has a case. While the Pros
ecuting Attorney is tying tho first wit
ness into bow-knots" aud untying him
again, the amateur sits listening, out
endeavoring to look as unconcerned as
a marble statue in a thunder-storm.
He throws in timid objections ever'
time he thinks ho sees a hole, and as
each one is overruled by the Court, he
nuts on a stern look, as much as to say:
"I'll knock the wind out of that in the
Supreme Court!" When the prose
cutor, usually an old, able attorncv,
dryly says, "Take the witness" the
youthful aspirant trembles a little, and
endeavors to swallow something that is
sticking in his throat. He feels that
every 030 in the room is upon him and
that "they are as hot as &tove-lids. Ho
lires a few questions at the witness, and
warms as he proceeds, until he is
brought up standing by: "Oh! your
honor, wo object to such irrelevant
questions," followed by a fe a scathing
remarks from tho prosecutor. Tho
Court sustains the objection, and ad
vises the yo.ing lawyer to keep within
bounds, which sets him to wondering
where in thunder the bounds arc. Ob
jection follows objection, and each one
is promptly sustained. He wonders
why it is that a free and independent
people will tolerate such one-sided
justice. He lunges ahead blindly now,
until he becomes so confused that he
does not know whether he is a practic
ing attorney with a gilt sign, or a fly
wheel on a steam wood-saw. Finally
he runs out of questions, and, with a
sigh of relief, or something, tells tins
witness "That's all." So he grinds
through; and at last the prosecutor
rises and proceeds to address the jury
in a masterly style. As he proceeds he
picks up the evidence adduced by the
defense into particles fine enough to be
incorporated into codlish balls. The
3'outhful Hlaskstonc wrestler begins to
feel uneasy as his mind reverts to the
fact that in a few moments he must de
liver his maiden speech. He wishes
tho prosecutor would hold his grip and
keep it until time to adjourn court, feel
ing satisfied that he could make a splen
did speech the next day, after a night's
lighting on the evidence. He tries to
remember what the witness swore to,
but cannot recall the evidence to
save his life. The prosecutor fi
nally winds up with a grand
peroration, and, as he says "And in
conclusion, gentlemen of the jury,"
the youth nervously fingers his
moustache, if he happens to have one
about him, aud wishes he had never
begun the abominable business. Cold
chills are fingering him all over the back
as if measuring him for a new shirt, and
his spinal column acts like it was tired
and wanted to sit down a while. Like
Uanquo's ghost, the lump in his throat
won't down by any obstinate majority,
and he swallows at it and wonders
what ho is going to say and how long
it will take uim to say it. As the prose
cutor calmly takes liis seat the young
lawyer rises and moves to the front. He
dare not look at the audience, and tries
to imagine there is no one in the room
but himself and the twelve sphiiytfike
forms in tho jury-box. Tho eyes of
each juror are fixed upon him, and he
would almost relinquish his hope of
Heaven if some ouo would raise a cry
of fire to divert their attention until he
gctsa start- Finally he shrugs his should
ers and manages to remark, "Gen
tlemen of the (swallows) jury." Very
good. He then surveys them a moment,
and every man in the box thinks he is
endeavoring to read their thoughts;
but he isn't. He is wishing to gracious
he could read his own thoughts. At
last he strikes out and goes for them
about their intelligent looks, and now
he feels that his client's interests are
safe in their hands. At the same time
he feels serious doubts as to their
safety in his own hands. He worries
through his speech with an average of
two swallow? at that lump to the sen
tence. The prosecutor closes the ar
gument and the case goes to the jury,
who retire to a secluded room to chew
tobacco and ask each other what they
thought of it It so happened that the
flimsy testimony against the accused
warrants a verdict of not guilty, where
upon the amateur grasps his client's
hand, whispers: " It was a hard light,
but I got you out of it !" Then he
rises, loads up enough law books to
swamp a mud scow, casts a triumphant
look at the Prosecuting Attorney, who
smiles pleasantly in return, and walks
slowly and majestically down the aisle
to the door, with as much dignity as if
he owned a Western railway. Oh, you
can't deny it, even you old veterans
3'ou've all been there !" Quincy Mod

"I am mighty thankful for that rain

to an Austin gentleman.
" Was your farm suffering much for

" I haven't got any farm."
"Have yu got a Government hay

"Not that I know of."

up a lunch basket for the preacher's
table, but you see it rained, and there
was no picnic, so wo had the lunch for
dinner, to keep it from spoiling, and

The Xaa the Steepla.
The hundreds of people who have
watched the operations 01 the man upon
the towering steeple of the Third Street
B-rptist Church painting tbe wooden
spire? and arranging the wcathcr-vanc.
have expressed wonder as to tho means
used to reach this lofty position. A re
porter yesterday went up into the belfry
and interviewed the most experienced
Htceplc climber in the world, James
Kenruson. "Why. rav dear boy." said
liH. with an honestv of expression that-
struck home at once, "I've spent the
greater part of my life up among those
rolling clouds. For eighteen years I
sailed the sea between the Hast Indies
and China before the mast, ami after
ward occupfed ever station excepting
that of Captain. When I was sixteen
years of age 1 climbed a steeple in Glas
gow 30i) feet high in half an hour.
The same feat it took the noted 'Steeple
Jack' three days to perform. I've been
mounting steeples lor the past seven
years, as a business. The last one I
went up previous to this was the Chapel
Street Presbyterian, in Albany, which
is three hundre.1 feet in height. I
took dawn the weather-vane, in the
shape of a fish, which weighs '.Ml
pounds, being of copper ana loaded
with lead. It was the first time any one
had been up the steeple in thirty 3ears.
The highest steeple I ever climbed went
up .'570 feet. This was in Ayrshire,
Scotland. The general impression is
that when on a steeple it is easier to
look up than down. This is all a mis
take. When looking up an almost irre
sistible feeling comes over you to jump
from your seat. I had experience of
this kind while on the steeple of Dr.
Darling's church in Albany. I gazed
steadily up for a moment into space,
when, without any feeling of dizziness
or anything of that sort, i became al
most beside myself, and a kind of de
lirium came over me. I had to quit
right then and there, for a moment later
1 would have sprung from my seat. I
can look .steadily down and it does not
affect me. I seldom climb steeples in
cold weather. It's too confounded dan
gerous, the sides being icy and slip
pery. I was up on a Hudson steeple
last" January, and then vowed I'd swear
off climbing in winter, as I nearly fell.
"They tell me this here steeple
shakes when the wind blows. Do 3 ou
know, it's all the better for that. It
gives the iron rods on the inside play.
Look out for those taut ami apparently
solid steeples. The' go sometimes With
a sudden crash. And. besides, I enjo
a ride on a swaying steeple. It reminds
me of the days when I was at sea. Troy
looks immense from the top of that
spire. The people appear like mites,
while the sky bears the same aspect as
from the street. I never remember of
having felt dizzy when on a steeple. I
feel just as much to home away up there
where God's handiwork can be viewed
in all its beaut' as on the ground. I've
got to, in fact, for if I didn't you'd
never catch me hundred of feet
from good walking. That arrow on
the spire of the church I took down,
gilded it and replaced it. It is ten feet
in length and weighs all of 200 pounds.
When putting it back I held it in posi
tion with one hand and tightened the
bolts with the other no easy task, I toll
vou A man at this busiuc-s can earn
from seven to ten dollars a day. As to
the manner in which I ascend that must
remain a secret. 1 never allow an out
sider to handle or exanrnc my ropes.
I attend strictly to business when up
on high, and if I saw even my wife on
the sidewalk would refuso to recognize
her. I just glory in being as high as
ever I can get. It's nvy home up there,
aud I think if I go below when I die it
will be a terrible piece of bad judgment

Au Exciting Melodrama.
The fifth act was lively. Tho stage
showed the interior of a barn. There
were two apartments on the lower
floor and a hay-loft above. Tho hero
came into one room, drank out of a
bottle and had delirium tremens. The.
actor suffered dreadfully. He saw hid
eous beast3. he wrestled with himself in
the straw, he described a cemetery of
open graves, he told about his sup
posed deaii daughter, and altogether he
made it as unpleasant as possible for
himselt and the audience.
"Merciful heavens!" ho cried, when
the paroxysm was over, and he fell
asleep.
Then the wife dashed into the other
room with the daughter. Sho ex
pressed emotion as the freezing, hun
gry, despairing mother by dashing to
and fro. flingiug her arms wildly about
and rattling in tho circumscribed space
like a pea in a pod; at length sho took
the little girl up a ladder to the loft to
get warm in tho hay, and was down
again in a jifly. As" an acrobatic per
formance it had merit.
"Merciful heavens!" she cried, and
darted out m the storm to search for
her husband.
Then came a prayer by the little girl.
There was the child praying above, un
conscious of the besotted parent wal
lowing in the straw below. The hero
awoke in mental and physical torture.
He wished to die.
"Merciful heavens!" he cried.
His eyes fell on a halter. He would
hang himself. He tied the rope round
a beam overhead, climbed on a manger
and adjusted a noose. The horrined
child implored him to stop, but he
thought her voice was imaginary and
did not heed it. Ho leaped from the
manger, the noose seemed to tighten
round his neck, he made wry faces in
dicative of strangulation, and stilled
exclamations by womeu in the audito
rium denoted that the were thrilled.
The child made an outcry and racket,
and at length found an a"x, which had
been left in the loft to chop ha. She
ought to have used it to cut the rope
and thus rescue her father. She
hacked away vigorously, but without
severing a strand. The" hanging hero
made fresh grimaces, drew up his legs,
straightened them out, quivered, and
did all he could think of to fill out the
time. But still the ax didn't cut. I
heard excited words from the author
as he suffered in tho prompter's corner.
Eventually the actor reached up and
deliberately uutied himself; and a roar
of laughter by the audience drowned
the voices of the characters as they
crowded into the stable to close the
play. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The last statistical reports show
that in Germany the wages of both ag
ricultural laborers and industrial work
men have sunk to a lower level than
they have reached for some time. At
the same time tho cost of living has in
creased. Ou the other hand, a table
published in the Statistiqut de la France
shows a marked rise in the wages of la
bor in the small trades in Franco in the
years from 1853 to 1877. The wages
of male labor have risen in that period
fifty-two per cent., and those of women
have risen to an almost equal extent
fifty-one per cent though there is a
great difference in the actual sums re
ceived by the two sexes. In the period
included in the inquiry the cost of liv
ing has somewhat increased. The
price of bread remained about the same,
and clothing is cheaper; but wino is
somewhat dearer, and there has been a
marked increase in the price of meat,
butter, eggs and cheese. Bents, too,
have increased in the cities and larger
towns. But on the whole the condition
of the French laborer has not changed
for the worse.

The career ol tho swindler and biga
tniit, Mcrritt, with a do'en allac. who
was recently arreiU?d at Lynn. Mm.,
by l'inkertoa. would point a xnry im
portant and Bignilicant moral, if only
there were any one to heed it. Thu
scoundrel ha lived for years upon his
wit, and made a good living apparent
ly. He has had no local habitation or
permanent abiding place, but has trav
eled over tho country upon passes,
cither forged or obtained upon false
pretenses. In 1979 he swindled a bans
in Helot, Kas.. out of $3,000. In the
same year he swindled banks in Alala
ma. "Three years ago ho swindled m;v
enl peoplu and banks in Missouri, and
when arretted his trunk wa. found full
of burglars tools and forgers' imple
ments, and dispatches showing he wax
about to issue counterfeit money.
1 his precious scoundrel's operations
were not confined to obtaining money
by swindling and forgery. He was an
adept in marrying, and he married
governesses, widows young women
anil respectable, middle-aged women,
and lived with them just long enough
to be able to forge drafts ujon their
friends anil relatives, or borrow money
from them, and then he left them. The
record of his marital adventures is al
most ludicrous. " In all. thi3
venerable scoundrel, verging on sixty.
a grandfather in years, and with no
hair on his head to" speak of, has mar
ried fourteen young women in about
three years' time, and never lived with
any of them but two or three da.s.
though in that time he has succeeded
in borrowing money from their "sis
ters, cousins and theiraunts." and even
that ordinarily unimprcssiblo class, his
fourteen molhers-in law.
The arrest of the man. however, dis
pels all the illusions, and now tho mor
al stands out plainly. The fourteen
women whom he has recently married
were all young, good-looking and re
spectable, but they were eager and
willing to marry th's old man. though
he was a stranger to them, without in
quiring who he was. or what he was do
ing, or where he wxs going, or what
were his family connect ons, or what
was his character, merely because he
professed to be rich, and they thought
they were about to move into a sphere
of life where they would sport their
silks and diamonds, and ride in their
carriages, and make a sensation in so
ciety, and live without work. To all
appearances their friends and advisers
we-e equilly indifferent, and only
looked at his financial pretensions. Ho
was a good catch, and fourteen of them
caught on, and now have the poor con
solation of knowing that they were silly
gudgeons who were hooked by a vulgar
swindler, former and counterfeiter. The
narrative of his career only shows that
there is a considerable class of women
in this country, and respoctablo women,
too, who are so cray to live without
work and to make a splurge that they
are ready to jump at any bait
that appears to be gilded, aud
to marry anything in man-shape
that pretends to have money,
without stopping to inquire into his
antecedents or real character. The
ratio in thN case of fourteen to one
shows that there is a surplus of this
silly, reckless class, and that when tho
ostensibly rich person appears, though
hemav be as old as Mothusaleh or ugly
as Caliban, he has only to solicit matri
monial contracts to have them filled all
over the country, without any inquiries
as to the party of the first part. And,
vice vena, the career of tho precious
rascal and the conduct of his dupes in
timates that this same class of very
good and very respectable women think
that they would demean themselves by
marrying a poor man upon his merits
and running the risk of having to work.
The amount of unhappiness.even under
the most favorable circumstances, of
regret and of bitter compunction that
the victims of these one-sided and in
judicious marriages havo to undergo
seems to bo no bar to others, however.
Where there is so much temptation ly
ing about they seem to fancy they are
derelict if thsy do not yield to it, and so
rush blindly in, and "where one suc
ceeds in getting her prize the others
pay a bitter penalty for their rashness
and silly ambition. Merritt's fourteen
victims ought to be warnings aga:nst
marrying for money, but the silly gamo

How Thoy Slipped.
At eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon
a couple of excursionists took scats on
the east portico of the City Hall directly
under the window of the Chief of
Police. He was a bean-pole looking
chap of twenty-three with dust an inch
deep on his back, and she was an
auburn-haired angel of twenty, wearing
a solid shoo and chewing three quids of
gum rolled into one. For a long time
they sat and looked at the fountains and
sighed and were silent. Then he ten
derlv queried:
"Hanner, isn't it dreamy?"
"Yum," she answered.
" I could sit here forever," he whis
pered. "I don't believe I could I'd be hun
gry
More silence and sighs, and then ho
took her elbow in his hand and said:
" Hanner, I'm hungry now."
"Didn't you bring a'biscuit along?"
"Hungry for your love, Hanner
not for biscuits." Hanner, 'sposen wo
'sposen a case."
"Well?"
"'Sposen I knew a Justice of tho
Peace who would marry us?"
"How much?"
"Two dollars."
"Have you got the money?"
"Hanner, do you doubt my love?
I've got seventy-five cents, and I'll hunt
up the Harker bovs and borrow tho
rest"
"I'm afraid."
"Now, Hanner!"
"Oh, I can't; you know my folks

:roe extracted from on buhc! of corn

condensed into oatmeal, sorghum iuto
sugar, apples into " cider; barley Into
beer: and mj on without stint- Every
step advance. the pr.cu. duninithes the
weight, and saves co3t in carrying to
market. Hut the urdinaty f'-rm of
condensation on the farm begins with
the coarser crops and end- in the vari
ous animal product. Sheep, cattle,
hogs and hotes are condensed from
the grasses and grain, and ever tep
of the series all the way up from the
;oil to the thoroughbred, if rightly
managed, briugs its legitimate profit,
the final gam being the comparatively
inexpensive convrance to market
which comes from large value packed
into redu ed magnitude-:. Hut this
constant crowding of va'ne into Miialler
dimensions is shown not oniy in tho
transformation of the coarser into the
finer commodities, but it is seen like
wise in the improvement of our domes
tic animals. A Teas steer and a high
grade Shorthorn arc freighted to m ir
ket at the same rates, while the one
brings double the price of the other
when they get there.
"The waste that come from the e
cetive making of what is called offal U
the grand caus of failure on the farm.
It absorb- food and time, it costs even -thing
and brings nothing. It i. fully as
expensive to raise horns and white
leather as to raise marketable muscle.
The price U different, but the freight
the same. Some farmers display great
talent in the production of otlal. They
raise hay that is all woody fiber, apples
tha a-e all core, com that i all cob,
an I cattle that aru all head ami horn
and gristle and tail. They stigmatize
the skill and care that d.minislies the
core, the cob and the overweighted
bone to increase the salable parts as
fancy farming. Now tho whole scope
and purpose of improvement, both in
the animal and vegetable kingdom, is
simply to redu e to the smallest com
pass consistent with strength the un
salable portions, and to enhance the
quality and sie of the salable ones,
ihe crab apple and tho Northern Spy,
tho choke pear and tho Flemish Beauty,
tho Mustang pony ami the Atabiau
mare, the Florida cow with her shrunk
en udder and the Jersey that fills the
pail, are examples of the oppos to ex
tremes in the different series. The one
resuit sought in breeding, practiced as
an art, N to raise from the lower end of
each scries up toward the higher.
The model Shorthorn cow is a sam
ple of closely compacted values a
treasure of the most nutritive food so
packed as to secure the highest prices
and cheapest transportation. She is
developed to fullness of quality just
where the epicure funis and pas lor
the most delicate roast or sirloin steak.
And those portions of her body which
tho butcher considers superfluous aro
condensed to just within the limits of
size and strength which are indispensa
ble to the economy of animal life. In
the gradual progress of condensation to
which she litis been subjected through
many generations, her bonis have been
made rudimentary and her head shaped
after the best model and her bones
brought to the fineness and strength of
steel. And tho policy that has effected
this striking result rests on the follow
ing reasons: 1. The offal absorbs for
its growth and support a portion of the
food which tho animal consumes, con
sequently tho greater the volume of
offal the greater the amount of food
wasted in feeding. 2. Large and coarse
oflal is almost invariably accompanied
by coarse muscle. Capacious offal
carries inferior beef. 3. Large and
coarse offal usually goes along with a
scanty development of valuable parLs.
Hence it indicates a lack, not enly in
quality, but also in quantity of market
able beef. 4. Heavy oflal is rarely ac
companied by the fattening quality.
The cow or ox whose carcass is over
weighted with offal will not as a general
thing take on fat easily." Ar. Y.
Tribune.
Stjle In Farming.
There is such a thing as style in
farming, regardless of economv and
good sense. There is such a thfng as
neighbors practicing opposite styles,
unconscious of their good or bad exam
ple. We have a case in point. In a
town not far distant is a hill, overlook
ing a beautiful meadow, owned by dif
ferent parties. It is the time of rye
harvest, and your correspondent is on
the eminence swinging his grain cra
dle, raking and binding sheaves, stook
ing grain and "meditating generally on
things below. In the meadow two
farmers are seen engaged in haying.
One starts the mowing-machine in the
fresh and early morning and cuts a
large piece by" ten o'clock. After a
short respite one of the horses is put
on to the hay-tedder, and by a vigorous
use of that and the horse-rake, some
of the ripe3t and thinnest grass is made
ready to cart before dinner. All this
is done noiselessly and smgle-handed.
In the afternoon two men appear on
the scene, and before night-fall nearly
all the hay mowed in the forenoon is
raked and carted homeward, while
some of the greenest is cocked up for
removal before dinner the next day. So
the haying proceeds rapidly, quietly
and economically of time and help.
Ihe other farmer takes things mod
erately and as he doubtless thinks more
easily. He starts hi1 mowing machine
in the middle of the forenoon and does
his heaviest work in the hottest part of
the day. He gets so exhausted by the
heat that he has no energy in reserve
for handling the hay, and so he lets it
lie, sometimes two and three days, be
fore carting it from tho field. He
claims that the hay is better for being
bone dry and that bleaching it is no
detriment. This man makes hay all
summer, and drags through dog days
as best he can, but tired all the time.
Both these men have bay to feed and
sell, and both ask the same market
price for their surplus hay, and both are
classed as farmers.
There is little question which pays
the best. In the good old times when
words were fewer and more expressive,
a farmer was called a husbandman, and
the meaning of husbandry was frugali
ty, economy and thrift. A husband
man was a" mated-man. and one who
possessed and saved things. A thrift
less husbandman was as much a misno
mer as a wifeless one. There is a great
deal of fagging and fancy fanning nor-a-days
that won't stand the tests of
common sense and a fair balance sheet.
"In all labor there is profit." said the
wise King of Jerusalem, and useful ag
riralturafiabor wisely directed is prob
ably no exception to this rule. The
style ol profit is a pretty good style for

The other evening several persons
were in a cigar store on Wall Street
talking about intelligent horses. One
of them referred to a horse once owned
by G. SL Gillctt, which he used a num
ber of years ago while in the bakery
business. The horse Mr. Gillctt pur
chased for a mere song, the animal be
ing so poor he was thin as a rail, but
his owner, by dint of good feeding and
good care, brouget him up to be in all
respects a hand-ome cqutne. Mr. Gil
lett usually kept him before the bread
and cake wagon, and the horse became
very fond of his owner, and, being very
intelligent, would do a great many
things that were really quite wonderful
for anything short of a trick horse, in
going" from house to house with his
bread and cakes Mr. Gillctt would leave
his horse at one place and then go on.
crossing the street at time until com
ing to a bouse where they wished to
purchase, he would call "his horse.
" Come, Ned. come over here, old fel
low," and the horse would trot away to
where hb owner was. get as near to
him as possible, and then stop until
ordered further. Sometimes naughty
boys would annoy Mr. Gillctt, when all
he would have to do would be to point
his finger at them and say: "Ned, just
go for them-" The horse would lay
his ears back on his neck, and in
fact go for the bovs, on the sidewalk
or elsewhere, until ne caught the wag
on fast, and then would back off and
start again- One time Mr. Gillett left
his horse and went away about a block
distant. Going in the "middle of the
street, he shouted. "Come, Ned, old
fellow, hurry up," and the bors im
mediately smarted for him on a trot.
Mr. Gillett commenced to run, which
made the horse fairly crazy to eaten tip
with him, so that he came along at tre
mendous speed. Just as the horse
reached the front of fhe Court House
the top ox one of the barrels in which
bread was carried fell off with a clatter,
and the animal stopped stock still ia the
road, and wouldn't move again until it
had been replaced.
Mr. Gillett always claimed his horse
was wonderfully expert in business
matters, and that to him he owed at
least some of his success in business, as
while he bad Ned, in twentv year; he
made $20.QOOt demringeac&jeart 1,000,
