- HIS CARE.
Gad beliie Abe key of all unknown, -
And° I am glad ;
If, other bands should !told the key,
Or if be trusted it to tree,
1 might be cad.
What if to -morrow's eaves were here
Without ite rest.
I had rather He unlock the day,
And as the doors swing open, say
"My will is best,"
The very dimness of my sight •
Makes me secure.
For groping in my misty way
I feel hie hand --and hear him say
"My help is sure."
I oaunet read His future plan,
Bat this I know,
I have the smiling of His face,
And all the refuge of his grace,
While here below.
Enough, this covers all my want,
And so I rest ;
For what I cannot He can see,
And in His'oare I soon shall be
Forever. blest.
A SCENE IN CHURCH.
Bess went to church one sultry day
She kept awake, I'm glad to say,
Till "fourthly" started on its way.
Then the moments into hours grew,
Oh, clear y oh, dear ; what should she do,
Unseen she glided from the pew.
And np the aisle, demurely went,
On some absorbing mission bent,
Her eyes filled with a look intent.
She stopped and said, in plaintive tone,
With hand uplifted toward the dome,
"Please preacher-man,cau I go home."
The treble -voice, bell•like in sound,
Disturbed the sermon most profound,
A titter swelled as it went ronnil,
A smile the pastor's face o'erspread;
He paused and bent his stately head,
"Yes, little dear;" he gently said.
TWO \VI':STERN LIANAS
`' 10 Oi1T 4. 11.014A114.
A Kansas City despatch aays1`J:
F. McKnight, a stranded Califerpie
millionaire, appeared 1:efore , the
Mayor ()f St, Joseph, Mo.,yesterdsy,
and after representing that be had
not a dollar in the world, begged a
railway pass to Kansas City, which
was given him and he left for New
York city, where be says he has
relatives who will care for him this
winter. McKnight was a partner
of the millionaire McKay in Cali-
fornia for several years, was Mayor
of Oakland, and one of the most
prominent men an the Pacific coast.
He was a personal friend , of the
' elder Bennett in New Yolk when
the latter had his ofMce on Nassau
street, and was Jay Gould's friend
when Gould was brought into pro-
tninence by Jim Fisk. He had met
and been on intimate terms with all
the great men of his day, and bad
interesting anecdotes concerning
them all. He lost bis millions a
short time ago, ! but was cheerful,
although be bad not a dollar. He
says that he will return to Califor-
nia next year and build up another
fortune. His clothes were seedy,
and for dinner he had only a bun
and a slice of cheese that cost him
five cents. All his personal effects
were tied up in a big red handker-
chief After be had finisherfllis
sandwich he lighted an old black
pipe and seemed to enjoy it. In
his downfall he. retains his polished
manner and is still in conversation
and deportment the same elegant
gentleman he was when ho could
draw his check for ten millions.
Oh, yes, I was 'a cowboy for four •
years, said A. 13. Thomas, sou of
. Paymaster Thomas, of the .Detroit
Grand Haven & Milwaukee railroad,
!wa ee al road
a
toDetroitreporter. a Tribune re arts . I went
out there to look around. I was just
eighteen, and had a great fancy for
Western frontier 1ifo. When I reach-
ed Northwestern Kansas, between the
Solomon and Republican Rivers, I
'happened to get on the trial of a herd
of'steek' and was invited to join the
- herders did -so, zrntl-for-three, or
four days was the •sorest youngster
that ever straddled a horse.
You see, they lived in the saddle,
and I was a tenderfoot, or a pork and -
bean pilgrim, as they called eastern
boys. But I soon learned to handle a
revolver like the rest of them. Every
body carries a revolver.- One needs
it to defend himself from the wild
stock,' and also to defend the stock
from the wolves. Any wolves, yes f
should say so --both the big gray
wolves and the coyotes, which are
prairie wolves, small hut sneaky.
It isn't always the pleasantest thing
to take a hand in with a wolf. The
first time'I "own up, I was a little
scared. It happened this way—I was
with a Cleveland girl—by the way,the
nerviest girl I ever saw. She had
been spending Sime •little time at the
ranch,,and had learned to• use a re-
Jolver. We were onthe prairie,when
sye saw two big grays coming towards
us, Quick as cbain lightning she
-drew her revolver and fired. The ball
struck Mr Wolf in the head, killing
him instantly. She was not in the
]east bit frightened, but looked at it
in the coolest way, and said in the.
most matter-of-fact voice possible,
Well, that was a good shot wasn't it?
We got off our horses, skinned the
animal, and took the hide home for a
trophy. She has it now. I presume.
What became of the other? Oh, I
killed him, but I emptied several
barrels,and riddled the skin so it was
. good for nothing.
I also saw this lady in a round -up.
What's that? Well, it's, when all the
herders or cowboys get together and
work ciep to a common center, fencing
in all the wild animals running loose
within a certain radius. After they
sire all in—perhaps thirty or forty
grays, seventy-eight or 100 coyotes—
then the ;'un commences,riding to the
center, firing and killing the animals.
The round•ups bring in all the boys
from all sections around, somewhere
from 300 to 400, and you may believe
there is some lively firing.
Well, as 1 said,this young lady and
a friend of hers joined in one of these
round -ups. They were the only ladies
in the run, and were in charge of the
boys of our. ranch. No more respect
could be shown 'to them if thy had
been queens. Eery cowboy felt they
were especially in his care, and they
were watched and yet allowed to shoot
to their hearts' content, and they did
shoot in great shape. One came out
with seven gray wolf scalps and six
coyotes, and the other four gray and
ten coyotes and a poleeat. There is
a bounty on wolf scalps -05 cents for
coyotes and 75 cents or $1 for grays-:
so the girls did pretty well.
Who were the girls? Well,would
not like to give their names. They
are slaughters of wealthy Cleveland
gentlemen, prominent merchants,and
they ,might object. You see, people
of the north know little of lila cow-
boys of Kansas. They think they are
a lot of low -lived fellows, always
ready to shoot and scalp somebody,
whereas they are a gentlemanly class
of boys. •
Many of them are just from college.
They study themselves ill, and go
West to recuperate for health. They
bret it, too, for they live in the saddle,
ecome expert shots, and enter with a
zest into all outdoor pursuits that one
here cannot understand. Jr hope to
go back this fall, see the boys and. o
over the old stamping ground, I only
came back, as the boys say, to take a
slice of high life,
Qhpjdren Cry for
HOW SHEEP PA I'.
--
If a farmer bas plenty of patience
and is willing to give close attention
to details in the care of stock, he
ca make a oke more o n
1 ney for food con-
sumed from sheep thari from any
other stock. But not one farmer
in ten will care to give them the
attention they require at certain
seasons of the year ; su the few who
do take good care of a flock will find
a good market for mutton, and a de-
mand for wool at some price,usually
enough to pay for wintering the
flock. A furor which is rolling in
its surface seems perfectly adapted
to sheep raising. Such land needs
grass on the hill -tops to keep it
from washing, and sheep need hill-
tops and sweet, short grass. They
like to lie down on i, hillside in the
spring, where the sun makes the
ground dry and warm, and where
they fire protected from the cold
sweep of the wind.
The greatest profit flow sheep is
not in niutton or wool, but in the
enhanced fertility of i he farn1__..on
which they are 'kept. No other
8tock _can compete: with sheep in
this direction, his increased value
comes from two causes ; the large
quantity of soild and liquid manure
deposited on al] the land, and par-
ticularly on the highest and poorest
points in the pasture. The manure,
being finr • and well -scattered, is
pressed about the roots of the grass,
where it gives the greatest possible
benefit. Another source whereby
the grasses are encouraged is the
destruction of bushes and many
kinds of weeds which grow where.
cattle and horses only are pastured.
Hazel -brush fares very badly in the
sheep . pasture, and wild rose,; 1.1tg.
Weed, burdocks, and other weeds
are selected first,and Bien the sheep
look for grass. In this way a sheep
pasture becomes like a beautiful
lawn, and every year grows better ;
but if the farmer sees' millions in
sheep'and over -stocks his fielda,then
the griiss gees with the' bushes and
weeds. Then the asleep get poor,
tumble down one after another,their
ambition lessens as their flesh goes,
and the unfortunate owner, or im-
prudent manager, votes sheep a per-
fect nuisance.—American Agricul-
turist for November.. •
They tell this story about Sir John
Macdonald. It happened that Sir
George Stephens,Mr Angus and 'other
prominent men on the directorate of
the Canadian Pacific Railway have a
preference for red neckties, which all
those who know him well, will recog
nize as one of Sirf John's little vani-
ties. On one occasion during the
session of Parliament Sir Johu was
met by a couple of members of the
Syndicate, he wearing his red necktie
at the time :—"Ah, Sir John," said
One of them, "you have got on a Syn-
cate'color there." "Yes," replied the
Premier, "they ail say yon have me
by the throat."
Col. E. Il, Dickenson, President of
the New fork State Stenographers'
Association, regard's Phillips Brooks
as the fastest speaker in this county,
if not in the world. No ono steno-
grapher con report him accurately,
and the only way he can be reported
with any degree; of satisiaction is by
two experts who compare their notes
after they have written them out. Mr
Beecher, he says, was an easy man
to report. He ,considers ordinary
speakers who haven't any idea in
their heads and yet thinly they must
speak as giving the hardest work to
stenographers.
In consequence ofthemany requests
made to Mr Gladstone for., chips of
trees felled by him, the following cir-
cular has been forwarded to applicants:
'In reply to your letter to Mr Glad-
stone I have to say that, in conse-
quence of the number of similar re-
quests, it has been found necessary to
make in all cases a uniform charge of
the wood referred ;to, namely, ls. 6d.
for a large log, or 3 per cubic foot,
exclusive of all railway carriage. Ap-
plicalions should be made to the
Bailiff, Estate Office, Ilawarden, near
Chester, who will attend to any orders
as far as he may have the requisite
material at band.' It may be ex-
plained that the proceeds from these
mementoes go to a fund for the re-
pairs of Episcopal Churches, in which
the Liberal leader takes an interest.
Pitcher's Castorla:
BETTE . THAN LAZINESS.'
Somebody has, thought:. it worth.
cabling from England that a lot of
av lately engaged ladies h ,e la e y e .ng g d i o
trade, One sells decorative house-
work, another cloaks and mantles,aud
a third bonnets and hats, Their
husbands, it is explained, are land-
lord9,but rents have not been coming
in well, especially from Ireland, of
late, and something has to be done
to provide bread. All this seems to
us very proper, and we look forward
hopefully to the time when the rest
of the landlord] aed their wives will
have to go to work in the same way.
Hitherto they have satin idleness,con•
suming much and producing nothing.
The laws of the land have permitted
them to charge their leas fortunate fel-
low creatures atribute for the privilege
of working and producing. In order
that the landlords might get much
with little labor,the tenants have had
to be content with little for much
labor. Surely it is just and right that
every plan should have for his own
use all that he earns. Surely it is
better for all that all should be pro-
ducers, and that there should he no
mere cumberers of the ground. Satan
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do. The St. Leonards,' the Ailes-
burps, the Marlboroughs, the Colin
Campbells have shown how vice
springs from idleness coupled with'
wealth. England would soon decay
without her democratic workers, but
she would thrive amazingly without
her artstocratic idlers.
WILD PONIES ON THE SOUTH-
ERN COAST.
On the bank or sand bars that
divide the Atlantic Ocean from Pam-
lico Sound, North Carolina, just in-
side the lighthouse that marks out to
the mariner dreaded Cape Lookout,
there is to be found a hardy race of
ponies known as " Bankers." These
ponies have lived there as long as the
tradition of the oldest inhabitant
dates back. Entirely surrounded by
deep water at all seasons, having no
communication with the mainland,
and being barren of vegetation save a
scanty growth of sedge grass and low
shrubs, the banks have remained un-
inhabited except by these ponies,
which seefn to thrive and multiply in
spite of the hardships to which they
are exposed. Ilow the first came
there, or of what origin,is conjecture,
and tradition merely hints the story
of a violent storm, with its attendant
shipwreck and loss of all on board,
save a lot of ponies from some Euro-
pean port, which were cast upon the
sands, and surviving the storm be-
came the' progenitors of the race of
Bankers now so numerous. having
to rely on instinct alone, these ani-
mals are a subject of study to the
naturalist, as they are a prey not only
to the driving and but to the storms
of the Cape, that break upon and
over the narrow sand bar and change
with each recurring hurricane the
topography of the country. The
ponies, choosing the protected side of
the sand hillocks, burrow deep into
the yielding sand, and stamp out a
protected stall wherellieftlike range
from the storm ; and, while many are
destroyed,their number has increased.
