ALL FOR A MAN.
He had flirted at Bar Harbor, and at
Narragansett Pier ;
He had thoroughly "done Europe," and
et last began to fear
That life was, after all, to prove a "hor-
rid, beaetly bore,"
And love—as 'tis iu novels mud young
visions—wan no more ;
When, by the merest cironmatanoe, he
took a sudden fanny
To go to Pottstown Corners and visit old
Annt Nancy;
And never dreamed that Pottstown open•
ed into Paradise,
Or that his Eve was singing there, witli
modest, shining eyoe,
"0 for a man -0 for a man -a mansion
in the fatties 1"
The mischief happened this way : in
Pottstown etiquette
To stay away from meeting is a sin they
can't forget ;
So, when Aunt Nancy asked him and he
eeb out to refuse,
Her look of horror silenced him ; he mut.
tared, "Ah—excuse,
I mean I'll go,"—and meekly walked in
all his best attire
The•mile-long dusty street ; then slept,
until the village choir
Aroused him with the closing hymn, and,
much to his surprise,
A sweet -voiced angel seemed to lead,
with pure, uplifted eyes
"0 for a man -0 for a man -a invasion
in the skies 1"
And when the congregation, iu that hon.
est way they love,
Faced straight about and gazed up at the
singing loft above,
He turned and stared, enchanted', at a
girl who seemed to lack
Naught but a tarnished golden frame and
canvas at her back
To make her some old picture from Floe.
canoe or from Mooloh,
(An illusion eaveir,d out by her hat and
her white mule,)
Ole stored, eurapunred, in a way the
hymn don't authorise ;
She knew and bushed and sang again,
.with shy and downcast gyms.:
"0 for a man -0 for a man—a mansion
in the skiee 1"
I blush to tell—but after that no deacon
f0 the ehurah
More con.ttaut was at meeting ; more
earnest in the search
Apparently for Scripture lore ; and al•
though be had been
A worshipper of Wagner, Wallcyrie, Lo•
hengriu,
Ho eat in adoration while that village
choir sang "Meat ;"
And cherubim and seraphitn seethed
eingilig in hie ear
Old "China," "Webb" and "Lenox" were
choicest harmot,ies
But best of all was when she sang, , with
swept and drooping eyes :
"0 for to man -0 for n mnu•--a mansion

But why prolong the story 7 Flinn "love
will find a way,"
He lingered with Aunt Nancy fee many
and many a day ;
And, spite of saintly likeness to Madan -
nae, she was human,
And with a hetert that meld be won like
any other woman.
So new he roves no longer, but is quite
the business' mat ;
And likes when evening mimes to sit and
loop on, when he can,
While she bends o'er the oradlo, with its
silken draperies,
And croons in low and hushing voice,
with happy, love -lit eyes c

Superb Live • Stook.
Ten or twelve thoa0and people had a
chance on Wednesday of lent maple to
form an idea of the r000urooe of the
Province of Ontario as a horse and oattle
breeding 000nbry, when our stables were
emptied mid all the prize winners and
those 11,ieh did not get prizes—though
these were 110 111 grace in the disbinguiab•

themselves for the post three weelce—

shires, decked out with the manyoolored
badges al victory. And the horses I
Tho proud, high stepping American
Arabs, showing their pride of birth in
every movement ; the trim, neat Hao1c-
nays, easy wieners among the pith el the
continent, and contrasted with them the
heavy Clycles, Snffollts and Shires, with
bones of steel and Ina90lee of braes—the
vary embodiment of strength and endur-
ance. How they pranced and anrveted in
the ring, and how they were cheered,
mush glass having its admirers. It was a
sight long to be remembered, and no On•
tario man but felt his blood leap gnicker
as he realized how nobly the banner
province of the Dominion has sustained
her reputation in her battle with the
world.
As a usual tiling at cattle shows, and
for that matter at pablio functions of
every kind, one meets many a peesimistio
ralter-np of old memories, who recalls
the performances of a quarter or half a
century ago ; the Royal Cattle show in
England in such a year, the acting of the
elder Booth, or the singing of Jenny
Lind, ib may bo, but individnttlo of such

upon in the White City in the Angust and
September days. Col. J. 13. Pickrell, of

judge in that class, is authority for the

been gotten together, nor was it ever at.
tempted on the tame settle. Those who
were there say that the present exhibi-
tion of Shorthorns fully equals, if it
does not surpass, that at the Royal A.g-
rioultaral at Warwick, England, last
year.
The hero of this show was undoubted-
ly Young Abboteburn, 11066, 3,000 lbs. in
weight, and the moat massive Shorthorn
that ever graced an American prize ring.
Three years ago he was pnrohaaed by
Col. Moberly,'of Kentucky, from J. Fe W.
Watt, of Salem, Outerio, and since then
he has downed everything in eight,
rounding off his career by being declared
the best of the oontinent. It was hardly
expected that he would so long remain
the victor, but that be has doneeo proves
how grand an animal he is.
Another beauty is Nonpareil Chief,
112,024, bred by Arthur Johnston, Green-
wood, Ont., a eon of old Indian Chief,
and also otvuod by Col. Moberly. He
was awarded third prize, while fourth
honors went to Earl Pane VIII, 107,705,
bred by John Hope, of Bow Parlc, Ont.,
and owned by 001. H. F. Brown, of Min.
esotit. To follow further down the prize
list would talcs more apace than I can
afford, but atoor a aarefnl scrutiny of the
herd book I find that Ontario blood is
strong in many of the other prizewinners
now iu American herds.
When we 05100 to the y,unger cattle
our breeders showed what stuff they were
made off, and established beyond a doubt
that 01130rio IS snit the ner00ry for
Shorthorns.
Leaving the beet' hods, we find first
the bleak and white Hollanders—Hol-
stein Friesians, as they are generally
known. Though not large iu numbers,
the ooutiugent was select and of high
Mass. Ontario was represented by one
only—that of 5. 0. MaNiveu R Son,
Winona, who has no reason to feel as-
hamed of the position he took among his
eompstitore. This aged ball was a pio•
Imre, with his soft hide, silky hair, and
rich quality and Dolor, and ranked iv good
second.
Who that has read Blaolunore and
Kingsley does not hove over present be•
fore him the green hush meadows of
Devonshire, and keep a eat spot in his
heart for the rich dark rod cattle which
take their name from the loveliest county
in all England—large of frame, sleek of
bide, eofb of eye and just the piobare of
an 11011003 cow that 01311 fill the big pail
with mills while she lives, anis is a good
mark for the butcher when her time
comes. Uniform in color and size, the
Devon nog was pnrticnlnrly attractive,

11. N• Crossley, of Musitolra, sent two
elegant meets, Lady Orookuoy anis Lady
Bird, into the ring, of the real nag type,
such as Londoners delight in, both of
which were winners. Fireworks, also
owned by Mr. Crossley, is a likely colt,
and will be "a good one to go" hereafter,

went the judges, poking and punching
the ribs and back of the patient animals,

side, comparing notes and shifting the
herds from time to time, but ant offering
to move the Russell herd from their
position. To the hundreds of Canadians
who were waiting for the verdict it was
an anxious time, and when at last the
decision was given by the maesh1111, con-
gratulations were showered ou Mr. Rus•
sell for his splendid victory. Mr. Russell
also won the sweepstake prizes with his
yearling bull and heifer calf, and was
third among the two•year.old heifers.
W. B. Cockburn, of Aberfoyle, won first
with his roan bell calf, beating out of
sight, with another set of judges, the
little red boll that outranked him in the
early ;lays of the competition.
There are 0 good many other pointe
about the: a cattle competitions which
are exceedingly interesting, but they
must, perforce, be hold over for auothet
letter, With this week close the cattle
and horse exhibit for the present. The
fat stock and fast horsed will come on in
October, and the sheep and swine towards
the end of the present month. In both
those latter it is expected that Ontario
will be well represented.
Among the visitors of note daring the
present week have been Sir Oliver Mowat
and Hon. John Dryden, who called in to
see the wonders of the White City on
their return from the region north of
Lake Superior. The veteran Premier
did a good deal of sightseeing, end was
delighted with the show as a whole, and
ext11'eeeed himself as more than pleased
with the exhibits of Ontario in all - the
depart,iteete. In a 50103 way Sir Oliver

which was in r:aui.00 in Chicago, find had
the diotinotiun conferred on him of being
made 1111 honorary member of the Order.
Mr. Dryden was especially interested in
the live stook and was a frequent visitor
to the barns and the stook pavilion.
On Thursday afternoon the owners of
the Canadian stook, and as many of the
attoudants us could get away, were en-
tertained at the Canadian Pavilion by
Honorary Commissioner Cockburn, and

The attendance at the World's Fair is
jumping np these clays. Ten millions of
people paid for admission up to the first
of the month, and at the present rate it
would be no surprise if nearly a0 many

People seem at last to have awakened to

In Winter they are either caught with a
