Dropping the fork he had been using he rushed to the douse, It was Sunday morning, and Onager had on hie white shirt, and braadcloth snit, ready to attend church. It had been raining, and the path was slip - pert', but Guager thought nut of this, not' of hie new gloaters, but ruelhed mealy on, He did not strap at the front door, but ran ou to the l:iteneu. As be turned. the corner be slioped and fell dhreetly under the kitchen window, 14I.rs. Guager having finished washing the tidies, picked up t;..e pan of dirty water and dashed it Plit of the window, not upon the .ground its she supposed, but upon the snow white shirt and glossy broadcloth of Mr. Guager. 44 What did you run under that win- dow for ?„ yelled Mrs. Gueger, as Gouger entered the Itittshen all Wet and dripping from this morning bath. '' Do you., think that I. have nothing else to do but wash fine sbirte and have yon dirty them in that kind of a wry you old loggerhead ?" " Auuu da the cow'a sick --Lille has gat the hollow horn, where is the fish nil ? Why don't you, hurry "' exclaimed Onager excitedly. " Get out 'o hero you greasy object," screenne i Mrs. Guager. Onager eaeit that Hangs looked stormy, but he moat get that fish oil er the cow would die.: This bottle, with some dozen others, sat upon a shelf high up over the kitchen window. Onager knew tine, cel he merle caleu. bilious accordingly.. Springing upon a chair that sit under a shelf, Ito reached for the Ask oil. Now it happened that he spade o mistake, and instead of the fish oil,ho got a bottle of ammonia, that WAS ou the same ehoif, sand started for the barn. l'frs.. Guager started after him, with seven little Guagore follow- ing in her wake. When she reached the barn alae saw Onager striving to hold the cow while he poured, the mod - 'lane in Ler oar. ;Seeing his dilemma, she caught the cow by the borne and held her. Guag- er grabbed both and turned the fish oil —no the amenia into the cow'e oar.' Then what a scene. Gravitation seem- ed to have no power over that cow. With a snort her heels rose in the :fair, coining in contact with a little Guager, and making him turn a somersault over a basket of turnips,, and alighted with his head ina pail of bran mash that had been prepared for the sick cow. When her heels came dawn her head rose in air. Her horn caucht in Mrs Guager'e jacket, lifting her off her feet and bumping her bead against a beam overhead. Whirling on her hind feet she escaped from the barn,' with Mrs. Onager hanging to her horn, and screaming to Guager to help her. Just below' the barn, was a creek, ;across which was a narrow bridge. In her mad frenzy the cow made for this bridge, runniog close to its edge. As she did so airs. Guagnr's jacket gave way, and she slipped from the cow's horn into the creek. After rol- ling and struggling for a while she succeeded in extriooting herself from the muddy water, but what a sight it was. Her dress was torn, her hoops were broken, andlher hat was ruined; but she was heard to say she would tear enough hair out of Guager's head to ]Bake another j one. iThat night when. Guager was going to bed, he said, " That cow doctor was a dead beat. fish oil cure the hollow horn, humph ! I guess not ; that's been tried, hain't it Amanda, ?"

Somebody writes to a rural news- paper to ask " how long cows should be milked ?"Why, the same as short cows, of a;ourse. A Yankee gentleman, escorting a British friend to view the different at- tractions in' the vicinity of Boston, took him to Bunker's Hill, they stood Iooking at the splendid monument, wheu the Yankee s aid ; this is the place where Warren fell. " Ah !" re- plied the Englishman, evidently not posted up in local historical matters. did it hurt him much ?" The native looked at him, ._Hurt him 1" Said he, he was killed, sir." 't Ah 1 he was, eh !" said the Stranger, still eying the monument, and compounding its height in his ownmind, layer by layer. " Well X should think he would have been, to fall so far." 4 fir' oit "'o;E' a .,ire "IrF'ontars.: Yes, we agree with thot old pont who said that a logs, eget"race was au "ex— cellent thing in a woman.".

One of the most striking thing iu those villages is the apparently ceaseless industry of the woolen and girls, every one of whom, whether sitting on the door step, walk- ing in the streets, or going to the foun- tain with her pails over her shoulder like a milk -maid, always carries a hank of wool tied on a aistaff under one arm, and twirls a spindle, In Eazan I walked for twenty minutes without being able to find one—literally one— evoman or girl above eight years of age without this accompaniment, and mothers carry their little babies in a sort of bag on their backs, sons to have their hands fiee to use the spindle. • ... An old Highlander, rather fond of his toddy, was ordered by his physici- an, during a temporary illness, not to exceed one ounce of spirits daily. The old gentleman was dubious about the amount, and asked his son, a school- boy, how much a ounce was. " Six- teen drachms make one ounce," was the reply. " Sixteen drams ! What au excellent doctor 1" exclaimed the Highlander. " Run and tell Donald McTavish and big John to come doon the nicht." A SPfDRR'S LABGS GAVE.—Many re- markable aneadotes have been told il- lustrating the skill and seeming intel- ligence of the spider, but no more worthy of note than a circumstance which ocoured in our villaoe the other day, which was witnessed by a number of curiosity lovers, In the cellar of Mr. Pelson Williams a spider had pre- pared his web between a barrel and a tub, and there, suspended from the grouhd, hung a small snake about ton or eleven inches inlength. The thread had been ingeniously twisted or woven about the tail of the unfortunate reptile and it was evident that he had been drawn up from the ground to the peril- ous ' position. The spider seemed anxiously watching his squirming vic- tim from one corner of the web, prob- ably waiting for life to become extinct, when he would probably indulge in a reptile repast, as a reward for his cun- ning. The snake remained in this pre- carious attitude for thirty-six hours af- ter it was discovered, and then escaped, cheating the adroit spider after all. Harness !
