SANDIE MACPHERSON.
It was my privilege, during the last
days of his strangely prosperous career,
' to see a good deal of the late Mr.
Thomas Carlyle "True Thomas," as
he was affectionately called by the gen
eration to whom he told so many grim
truths. I had gone to him as a literary
aspirant one of the many who, coming
up from Scotland to tight for fortune,
carried letters of introduction to the
great man. The nation delighted to
.honor him, and, despite his dislike of
-Che literary class generally, he never
failed to say a kind word to any young
brother Scot who sought his advice.
For some reason or other, he took to me,
and though so many years his junior I
become a frequent visitor at his house and
received a great deal of his confidence.
it was one winter evening, as we sat
aloae together in his study that study
. which was a very Mecca, to literary pil
grims of all nations that he made the
singular confession which 1 am about to
place on record.
' Let me ' explain the matter, as far as
- possible, in his own words. I despair
of reproducing the peculiar accent and
the deep pathetic "burr" of his voice
which he preserved to the last as well
certain eccentricities of pronunciation,
which I shall nol imitate.
"You think me a successful man, and
audi, 1 allow, is the popular opinion.
Well, may-bo I have been successful be-
yond my merits, which arc " small
enough. Lord knows; but lest I should
row daft with my own self-conceit, the
ord sent San die Macpherson to keep
ue humble!
"It is a humiliating confession to
make, but almost at any point of my
long career, from the very beginning,
the thought of having converted Sandie
'' would have been more precious to me
than the admiration of all the rest of
the world. Sandie, however, never be
lieved in me from the tint. When I
published my first book my chief
thought was, 'What will Sandie Mac-
E hereon think of this?1 and when I
eard the criticisms, which cut me np
like a haggis right and left. I could have
borne everything but the thought of how
he would gloat over them, down yonder
- ia Scotland. 1 was somewhat consoled
aud a wee bit hopeful when, some years
afterwards, I published my 'History;'
far the critics, knowing nothing of the'
subject, praised it to a man, and talked
havers nonsense about my industry.
any originality and my erudition. I
cared nothing for the critics, but I said to
myself .with a smile: -'That V?.oe for
Sandie Macpherson, at last!"
"Perhaps yon will be asking who
Sandie Macpherson is that I set-such
store by his good opinion? Well, dp till
a few months ago you might have seen
his name 'Alexander Macpherson,' &
it was given baptismally over the front
of a small grocer's shop in the Gallow-
gateol ulasgow.
"Sandie and I were schoolfellows.
"We first met in the Seminary aad
afterwards we attended the High School.
- A I mind Sandie now, he was a wee,
snug-mouthed, black-aveeied ' laddie,
with eyes like ahawlc and astoopia'the
shoulders. From first to last he was
ever at the top of the class. He carried
away all the prizes at the Seminary, and
when he came to the High School,
among lads twice his size, he-was 'dux1
of the class. Such a memory as he had!
It-was wonderful, wonderful! He could
repeat the whole Latin Delectus with
his eves shut, and he. knew;' the whole
of 'i-uclid, when we were" periling

of him. As for me, where -he was dux

teaching, .having not yet decided to try
my'fortune in literature.
"But one day, fired by sudden en
thusiasm,rI wrote a long letter to the
GlasgoW'ZeraW on some question of the
day. It was printed next morning in,
all the glory of large type and signedj
Thomas Carlyle.' It was the proudest
day of my life, but, alas lit ,was destined
to be overclouded. 'owards'afternoon
I entered a coffee-shop and saw in the,
compartment nexttome, hishead buried'
in the paper, a- human figure. The
paper was the Herald, open at the page
containing my letter. I sat blusning
with all the pride of fresh-blown author
ship. Presently the face looked up, and
I saw to my surprise my old school
fellow, Sandie Macpherson. Our eyes
met but his stony orbs gave no sign of
recognition. Then he turned to the
paper again and smiled! Yes, he was
reading my letter. It might astonish
the public but it could not impose upon
him. There were Latin and Greek
quotations in it and fragments of moral
philosophy; how ashamed I felt of them
as I saw them come under his baleful
eye! He smiled again, placed down the
paper, paid his reckoning and walked
out of the shop without a word. 1 went
home a miserable -man. I might put on
grand airs before the public, but one
man Knew my measure, ana tnat man
was Sandie Macpherson.
"It was no use arguing with myself
that the man was an idiot; that although
he was glib at uptaking what was taught
him, he had neither talent nor originality.
The memory of those early days nanntcd
me like a shadow.
"I am not going to weary you and
myself with a history of my literary
struggles till I conquered the book-
taster, the magazine editor and the pub
lisher, and became a
recognized, pro-
ducer of the popular literary
article.
Years passed away. In the course of
years I emigrated to London on the
invitation of John Mill, the philosopher.
Then I published my first book, and, as
1 have told you, it was a failure. 1 re
trieved mvself by my second, which was
about half as good and not near so
earnest as the first. I still had Glasgow
and Sandie Macpherson in my mind
when I failed or succeeded, but in course
of , time the impression grew dimmer and
dimmer. It was one line day that
John Mill returning from the 'North,
where he had been lecturing on some
political subject, spoke to me as follows:
" 'By the way, Carlyle, I met an old
schoolfellow of yours in Glasgow.1
"'Ay, indeed?' I said, teeling the
blood mount to my face ia a moment.
" 'A man named Macpherson, a small
tradesman, and a member of the local
club which took me down. A prosy
fellow, and very sarcastic. He amused
me very much with his dry reminiscences
of your school-days and seemed greatly
astonished that you had made any mark
in the world.1
"I forced a laugh, but I felt hot and
cold all over.
" 'Do vou remember him?' proceeded
Mill. 'He remembers you wonderfully.1
'"I am not sure,' I returned with
carelessness. 'I believe there was a lad
of that name in the class with me, but
I've almost forgotten him. It's it's a
long time ago.

know that I was lying? He looked at
me for some moments with an amused
smile, as if he were calling up some queer
reminiscence; aud I I could have brained
him. Some little time after that Johar
Mill and I fell out He wrote a criticism
of Buckle's 'History of Civilization.' I
handled the same book next quarter and
turned Mill's arguments inside out in no
very complimentary lasnion. Jttill was
a sensitive man, and a while after that
he cut me dead in the street. We made
it up afterwards, but were never the
same as before. Till the day of his death
L never gave him any explanation. I
cared no more for Buckle or his argu
ments thaa for that fly on the wall!
Buckle, indeed the poor, silly, over-
crammed Cockney gowk! The real
cause of my attack on John Mill was
anger and irritation. Sandie Macpher
son, again, was at the bottom of it all!
"A year or so after this I went down
to Glasgow on business. By that time
I had made a name for myself and my
visit caused a stir in the city. I stayed
with the Lord Provost a silly man, with
a sniggering taste for philosophy. After
a few days I grew very weary of being
lionized; for nearly every day there was
a grand dinner, and I was bored to death
with the.admiration of daft folk of both
sexes. One forenoon as I was wander
ing about the streets looking.at the old
houses and calling to mind the places I
had known when a- lad, I passed down
the Gallowgate and saw the name of
'Alexander Macpherson' over a small
grocer's shop. Now, I was in a sympa
thetic mood that day; the contemplation
of old scenes and the thought of the
kindness of my countrymen had touched
my heart, and it melted snddenly at the
name of my old schoolfellow. Could it
possibly be the same? Before I .knew
what I was doing I had entered the shop.
"Yea, I was right. There, standing
behind the counter, was Sandie, himself,
older, grimmer, but neat and clean as
usual. As I entered he was measuring
out a pound of moist-sugar for a bare
footed servant lassie in -petticoat and
short gown..
'Mr. Macpherson?1 I said, when he
had done.

the man had mastered me. Folk might
compare me to John the Baptist preach

that I had come to preach honesty ana
independence,, purs living and high,
thinking, to a rotten generation, but
Sandie Macpherson knew better. Sandie
saw through me. It was no use posing as
a great thinker "and teacher before him.
I minded his words: 'Mony things
please the folk in London that wouldna
gang doon in Glasgow.' It was humil
iating, to say the least of it. Much as I
despised the fellow, his attitude of in
vincible stupidity was something Titanic.
To the bedside of the heathen Emperor a
slave used to come each morning, saying.
Philip, remember you must die! To
my bedside, for many a day came the
spirit of Sandie, saying: 'Thomas Car
lyle, remember you're a poor creature,
and I know it!
" I thought to have my revenge on
Sandie; at last, they made me Lord Rec
tor of the University of Glasgow.
"More proud and exultant than yoa can
think, I went down to my natal city to
deliver the rectorial address. I was an
old man by this time, and had a great
name all over the world. Such a recep
tion as they gave me! As I stood in the
large hall, with the professors and citi
zens arouna me, ine siuuenu ia ineir
thousands, cheering me, fine ladies
in the galleries smiling down upon
me,. I felt that I had reached the
height of my ambition. I addressed
them like a man -inspired, I spoke
of my early days, my struggles,
my fondness for the eountry of my
birth, and I was in the middle of a
splendid peroration, when all of a sud
den I became conscious of a man's face
looking quietly up at me. One man's
face, in all that seaof faces! Butlknew
it only too well grim, cold, hard as
granite, yet with a kind of pitying smile
upon it whose face could it be but the
one I had dreaded all my life? The
words went out. of my head, aud I
ended feebly, sitting down into my
chair with a sigh of relief when I had
finished. The next day there
were columns in the papers, and in the
course of .the long report something to
this effect: 'At this point of discourse,
alluding to his early days in this city,
Mr. Carlyle was visibly affected. His
emotion was touching to witness; and
he almost broke down; but amid the loud
cheering of his enormous audience he
at last concluded his magnificant ad
dress.' 'Visibly affected,' indeed! and
'touching emotion!' They little knew
that my speech was nearly ruined by the
sinister influence of Sandie Macpherson!'
The great man paused, half amused,
half angry at the remembrance of his
odd experience. Reaching out his hand,
he took down a pipe from the mantle
piece, filled and lit it, and smoked for
some minutes in silence, with his eyes
fixed upon the -fire. I sat watching him,
reverently and wonderingly. At las the
broke the silence.
"I never saw Sandie again after that
"About a year ago, however, an old
friend, a minister of the kirk, coming on
a visit from Glasgow, informed me tnat
my former school-fellow, who was one
of his congregation, had recently died.
My friend had been with him frequently
during his last illness. I asked, not
without anxiety, if the poor fellow had
still remembered me.
"My friend smiled.
" 'O, yes, he remembered you well,'
he replied, 'and only a few days before
his death he spoke about you.'
"'Indeed! and what did he say,' I
said, carelessly.
"Shall I give you his very words?'
asked my friend, laughing merrily.
"Certainly.
"They're telling me,' he said, 'that
Carlyle has just written another book."
Lord, minister, surely the world has gone
clean daft! What can folk see in such a
silly sumph fool as yonV
"So Sandie passed away," concluded
the old philosopher, and now, "whatever
happens to me, I know that my career
must be considered a failure, for the oi.e
dream of my existence to make an im-
Eression on Sandie Macpherson has
een rendered impossible for ever."
Robert Buchanan, in Belgravia.
Singular Recovery of a Lest Blag.
Several months ago a lady residing on
Beacon Street took off a number of rings
from her fingers and laid them upon the
dressing table. After washing her hands
she returned to the room to replace her
rings, when to her astonishment one of
them, a diamond ring, was missing.
She was certain that she took the ring
from her finger, and equally certain that
no one could have entered the room
without her knowledge during the five
minutes she had been in the Dathroom.
A most rigid search was instituted, bnt
the missing ring, valued at $200, was
not found. A few weeks since the lady
was much annoyed by mice. Almost
nightly they held their revels. They
not only destroyed her sleep, but choice
laces were mutilated. The lady procured
a trap, one of the old-fashioned kind,
and having baited it with a tempting bit
of cheese, placed it near the scene of
depredations. On the following morn
ing she had three fine silky mice of vari
ous sizes. One of them was so peculiar
ly constructed that it attracted her at-,
tention, as it appeared to have a string
tied around its body. The servant girl
was instructed to drown the captives and
reset the trap, and she was about throw
ing the dead mice into the dirt barrel
when her eye was attracted by a sparkle
from what proved to be the lost diamond
ring, which was notf perceptible when
the mouse was alive, but which came to
light after the severe soaking which, the
mouse received. It is. Supposed in his
haste to get away that he ran his head
through the ring, and subsequent strug
gles only forced it over his"1 forelegs,
where it remained. This is aL'tongh'
story, but we give it as it was told.

thereat and sleep of the n ght. and the
lightest when the body is a. igned by
the day's labors, it is reasonable to a-I-
f)ly the same principle to the stomavh
abdrs. If this rest is a necessary condi
tion to precede the labor of the da. it
is reasonable to infer that the heaviest
meals may be taken in the morning and
at noon, the lightest at niht, or not
more than oue-sixth of that for the
Wj ole day, instead of one-third If -he
more s .bstant'al and more nutritious
may then be taken as a means of car
rying the laboier through the day, it is
reasonable to take the less substantia!
at night, that one mav have good, re
freshing sleep and be in a proper ton
diti n lor labor, since it is a well estab
lished principle that, with ordinary hu
man beings, digo tion and sound sleep
do not proceed at the same time. If the
stomach is tilled with food, ami diges
tion is in full progress, the s!eep nust
be disturbed, droamy and unrcfresh-ng.
It 's also as true that if lood rather dif
ficult of digestion is taken in the first
part of the day, when the digestive
powers are active and vigorous; the
lightest meal the smallest in 'quantity
and the easiest of digestion should be
taken when the stomach is somewhat
debilitated, like the body.
While some of the more intelligent
and thoughtful suspend work at early
tea-t me. as they do at noon, others
continue about as long as they can see,
then stop and do the "chores." take a
heavy meal, and soon retire. After
such toils the powers of the body, the
digestive included, are much exhausted
and in an unlit cond'tion for their best
ellorts It w uld be no more cruel : nd
unreasonable to require the limbs to toil
for thre or four hours longer than to
compel, by a heavy supper, the stomach
to digest such a meal before any sound
and refreshing sleep can ordinarily be
obtained if a heavy meal is taken at
a late hour, and then one goes to a
place ot amusement, entertains com
pany, or is entertained till near mid
nighta ruinous custom there is ample
t'nie for digestion, but not so with the
farmer who has no time to waste in
mere amusements. He is asleep
soon after his labors are fin'shed. that
he may be leady for the coming day.
If such a heavy meal is taken as the
cold ham aud cabbage left at noon, p'e
and cake, ors'ill woise. if possible, ho't
and new bis uit, one ot two results or
dinarily .follow : Either sleep takes pas
session, suspending digestion, mainly
(this process to be re-con meuced with
a poor appetite in ihe morning), or the J
sleep must be disturbed by the diges
tion, of necessity uurefresh'ng and un
satisfactory. This no farmer can af
ford, since good sleep and rest must ac
company hard labor. '
It is during the hours of rest and re
pose that the blond made from the food
of the day is consolidated into muscles,
bones, etc. on which he must depend
for success in his business. Just to the
extent that this change of the blood is
impaired by wakefulness naturally
produced by" the digestive process the
constitution is undermined, and he
must suffer. It would be far better,
there ore. to take seven-eighths of the
food needed for the day at :he first and
second meals (no luncheons are really
of auy advantage, eventually), with a
very "light supper. Dr. Hall, well
known, but uow dead, advised a singlo
slice of bread, with a cup of weak tea.
But I am still mon; temperate in my
habits, taking less and simpler food,
omitting the tea. as that might disturb
sleep, which 1 cannot afford. As an ex
periment, and not from necessity, as I
am far from being a dyspeptic,! have
confined myself to a" single mug of
"breakfast cocoa, without milk, that no
digestive labor may be performed, or
the same of "cereal coffee," similar
to crust coffee, and have been perfectly
satistied, sleeping well and feellug re
freshed, with a line appetite in the
morning.
I know of no calamities, no degrada
tion, no 'ces, no evil tendencies and
abnormal desires and appetites, ami no
depravity which do not as naturally
flow from a career of drunkenness as
the streamlet Hows down the mountain
side. And while our poor, fallen,
human nature has constant tendencies
toward sensual gratifications and the
indulgence of vitiated appetites, 1
would not have any act of mine, in any
respect, encourage the use of ardent
spirits. I would not introduce into -the
human stomach that the tendency of
whii-h, with no exceptions, is to de
range every function, vitiate every di
gestive solvent, corrupt even fiber,
and unduiy ilrivc every organ, wasting
power and undermining the aggregate
vital power. I prefer to allow nature
to have a fair chance, introducing no
poisou, no malignant antagonist.-Zr.

Training Hones.
Thorough horsemen, accustomed to
training horses for the purpose of iru
i roving the step, thus rendering an or
dinary moving Horse quite attractive,
after a few days drilling, full; under
stand the potent influence of practice,
and the extent to which the saying that
practice makes perfect, is true, it has
proved to be with the horse as with the
'oung man or women just in from the
country home. The walk, and every
motion is awkward and stiff. A few
months of city life makes a great
change, and the active, confident and
lithe step acquired leaves little trace of
the former awkwardness.
It is this that induces the experienced
dealer to buy plain, green horses, with
full confidence that twoor three weeks1,
or as many months good keep, and
thorough drilling, accord'ng to the
trauta ilitv And pliability of the animal,
will double the selling value. With tfie
English, a high-stepper is desired, and
in our principal markets the same qual
ity has its selling value. Horses under
the training process arc moved about
for. a considerable time each day, in a
vard where coarse straw has been light
ly strewn to a good depth. The horse,
in moving among this, is compelled to
Hit his feet very much higher than is
his custom. Daily practice of this kind
changes the action of ;ertain muscles
and ..oints. and in a longer or shorter
time, varvinfr crrcatlv with different
subjects, the horse goes on to the street
with his high step. If not made a per
manent "high;8tcpper." he at least
steps high until sold, and very likely
he will in a measure retain the habit
permanently. This is one of the many
plans adopted to change the natural
country gait of the horse, but is only
one of the many devices brought into
use by which education and drilling
may so transform the norse that his
former driver would .fail totally in an
ittempt to identify him. Live Stoel.

Birds on the Farm.
The utility of birds in agriculture,
particularly the utility of certain species
of birds, ha3 been the subject of much
discussion for many years. Audubon
and perhaps other of the earlier natural
ists did not alwaj's have the means with
which to publish the knowledge they
gainrd concerning the habits of the
birds and animals which they watched,
and some of the later ornithologists
have found the field of discovery so
large that they have had little time to
do more than describe the distinguishing
features of the numerous species. The
farmer ha formed opinions concerning
the good and evil done by the birds
which inhabit his fields and find protec
tion about his buildings, but often these
opinions have been formed without that
careful method of observation required
to determine a fact or settle a question
beyond dispute.
The variety of opinions held by differ
ent persons concerning the real value
of the English .sparrow brought to this
country some years ago, anil the crow
and robin, so common in our fields, is
an illustration of the difficulty ordinary
observers experience in corajnor to a
unanimous conclusion. Trof. W. A.
Stearns, of the Massachusetts Agricult
ural College, in hi s recent address be
fore the Connecticut State Board of
Agriculture, discussed the bird question
from the standpoint of an educated obser
ver.'who has given many years of study
to his subject, and .yet he was far from
claiming that he knew all that ought to
be known even about some of our com
monest species. -.
Hawks are strictly birds of prey and
they are injurious when they catch our
chickens and the young of our useful
small birds; beneficial when they de
stroy mice or other animals which are
our enemies. The crow is also a bird
that is both useful and injurious to the
farmer. He is a grain-eating bird,
though when driven to it he will, catch
chickens, eat ega and destroy young
birds iu their nests, and pick up insects.
When corn is within easy reach he will
take little else. Tne ueliel that crows
pull up the .feeble corn plants to get the
worm gnawing at the roots, is a fallacy.
Nor do they destroy the cut worm which
does so much .mischief in our corn fields,
for this worm works only Ly night and
the crow only by day after the cut
worm has buried himself out of sight in
the earth.
The robin also accommodates itself
to a mixed diet, taking fruit in it; sea
son, but living almost wholly upon
worms iu the early and later portions
of the year, and feeding its young al
most exclusively upon insect food. If
the robin gets too mischievous he rec
ommends taking a number of him for a
pot-pie, as he is a very good game bird
when fat. It is probable, however, that
the fruit eaten by the robin is not in ex
cess of what would be destroyed by the
insects he eats early in the spring, if
they were left to do their work.
line swallow no pronounceu useiui as
it lives on minute winged insects
which in their larva state destroy our
grain. A single nest of swallows will
require about 500,000 insects during the
three weeks of their growth. The
blue bird clears our lawns, but some
times may drive away other birds that
might do still more good. The King
bird nesting near our dwellings will
sometimes protect the cherries from
being taken by robins, not on its
own account but because he will let no
other birds come near his domicile.
The blue jay does some mischief de
stroying eggs and young birds, but
helos us very much by planting forest
tree seeds everywhere. The pretty liltla
chickadee Is a fighter and destroyer of
birds' eggs, but does much good by eating-insects
and insects eggs, which he
hunts for most industriously.
Of the eighteen insect eating birds
thirteen stay with us all the year round,
while may of the migratory species
come and go as their food is plenty or
scarce. The migratory birds are always
hungry in spring, busy catching insects
for tneir young in summer and getting
thin in flesh while feeding their young;
they are good feeders in the autumn.
The English sparrow he feared would
vet prove a great pest when it becomes
more abundant. In Australia) where it
was introduced a few years ago there ia
now a bounty of twelve-cents per head
paid by the Government. Dr. Sturtevant
Aad found it destroying pear bade, an4
etherscharged it with-disbedding the
Ihe elms in the cities. The balance of
testimony seems much against this bird:

to you for treatment in February last she
had for months been suffering so severely
from Asthma accompanied by severe fits
of coughing that she could seldom sleep
without sittiug uprfcrbt. Her appetite
Was very poor, and she was very much
reduced and very nervous; she was una
ble to raise from" her lungs or throat and
expectorate and she required continuous
watching night and day. Under your
treatment she gradually improved until
for several mouths past she has had little
or 110 Asthma or cough; her nervousness
has largely-disappeared. She sleeps well
at night; her appetite is generally jood;
she has largely recovered her spirits aud
is gradually" though slowly gaining
strength, and she says she is better than
she has been for live years. I have great
hopes that she will completely recover
her health. Yours respectfully,
