A waftelunaker- ones came to Flerenee, Ala., an entire stranger, just after the people had started a new town -clock in the tower of the court -house, but nobody came to give him a job. A weals !or two passed on without improving hie pros- pects, when, in a kind of 4spe1ation, he determined. to make a bad strike for business. Everybody SWOlst by the town clock, of couree, a fact which the watch- maker knew ; so, after night, he made his way into the tower and changed that hands a few minutes, Heard nothing of It on ;the day following, and. so changed them again the net. night. On the morning after the second. change had been made, a man called on the watch- maker and spoke of employing him to regulate the town -clock; but the watch- raaker told him. he thought no regulation was necessary, as he had noticed that the cliick was running exactly with his time, and drawing forth his watch, he compared it with the clock, ,and, • sure enough, they were !exactly tegether. Next morning the town -clock and. the watches of the place were further apart than usual, and. the gentleman who had called at the watch shop the day before now again presente(i himself, accom- panied by several friends. To their great surprise they found. the watchmaker's regulator and watch- still exactly with the clock, and that settled the naatter. They all left their watches to be cleaned, remarking that they would. rather have no witches at all -than watches that did not keep time. ; The news spread ; other irregular watches came in by the score, until, before the day was ()Vele the watchmaker had the windows hung en- tirely full of work. • 40. How to Lead a COW.r The Ames, Iowa, intelligence,'' ; has he following : Every woman will tell yon that a man can be led easier by 'putting an arm around. his neck than by pulling his thir, but we never knew till recently that the reason you can't load a cow be- hind' a wagon is because she objects to having her horns pulled. The other day a red -shifted. emigrant passed through. herei on his way to darroll county. His family and household possessions were in a covered. wagon, to the hind lend of which was fastened. a cow. Behind her with a sharp stick, walked the emigrant, giving her a smart welt occa.eionally when she hung back. Every now and then she woulci brae herself and stop the team, and then in unelerical language he would beseech her to go on, marking oath, forcible period with a prod of the sharp stick. The Poor cow rolled her eyes, and rolled het tongue. The poor emigrant, too, was dusty and tired, but his voice and stick didn't fail him. She had , suddenly halted the procession in fro4 of the post offiee, and was shaking her head iu reply to his 'earnest entrea- ties,when a man called out to Red Shirt - that' "understand. cows worth a ceht." "Well, what are you going to do about it riasked Red Shirt. , • ",Why, just take that rope o� her horns, and put lit round her neck, and she'll lead as quiet as a la,mb. If she don't I'll follow her a, mile myself.' The rope was "changed.- to her 'peck, and the team started. The cow ga.ye a look of surprise and walked ailong. "Well, that beats all," said. Red Shirt, and without a word of thanks he mount- ed his wagon. The- procession moved slowly on toward *Carroll county, and the cow followed with countenance as placid as if she were walking home at re liking time.

' I Never'Talre Wine. . 1 Mark Twain once told a story of • a young man who was invited. whild on a visit to the American. capital to cline with a Cabinet officer. He was a green young person, of good. principles, from the West;. The table sparkled with plate, flowers and costly cut glass. Rich viands filled the massive dishes. The music of a band poured into the gorgeous dinieg hall from the adjoining conserva- tory,. There was everything to charm, to clazale, to tempt the guileless boy of the West. The beautiful hosteSs held up her crystal glass, sparkling with champagne, and said to him, with a fas- cinating smile, "Will you drink a health with me V' "NO, madam," said. the youth, "1 thank you; I never take wine." "What, not a single glass with me ?" "No," said! he,- mildly-, but firm- ly, "I never take wine."
