Tb.e Little POCketi Clonintry
Girl.
The first time I saw hee-and I never
- her but twice--therti was nothing
ble but a slat sun -bonnet and a pair
red angular elbows keeping time to a
nitinotonotia chant:
onners ant liderthy served the Lewd,
Maery and Maltby seraed the Lawd, '
Nue and Marthy merved the Lawd,
And I kin serve Him tew."
This was followed by 11 vigorous nib-
bling, the slat sun -bonnet flapping and
lite elbows flying on a home-made,
idekety pine wash-lacard-forshe wee
rhing, standing on &bench, and lean -
over so far into the hot, steaming
elaterthat there was dangerdi her losing
tier balance mid drowning. The sound of
ifteirubbing and splashing and her own
Yoke had prevented her hearing my
approach, and she jumped like a
frightened partridge and looked at me
with a frightened stare when I address -
ea her.
“Don't be alarmed, little one," I
said, "1 hove only lost my way, and
stopped to ask you where the hotel is."
She ring the water out of her lean,
rad hands, pushed back her sun -bonnet
and stepped off the bench.
"Dew you, live at the tevern ?" she
&liked, putting her broWn head over on
ene shoulder like a bird, and looking at
me with bright, inquisitive eyes.
"Yes! What a shame to let such a
eliild as you wash; you ought to be
playing with dolls," I remarked, indig-
zanily.
She looked at roe covertly from under
the lashes of her soft, shy eyes as if
wondering if I would do her a harm,
(new her small form up proudly and
pointed to the mountain.
"Keep right oil up; thei's yoh place;
ge wba the- road turns, and yawll site
tke tavern."
t3he buried her head in the, tub and
resumed her chanting:
" Marry and Marthy served the LawcL"
When I was half wily up- the moun-
tain side 1 turned and saw her standing
bereheaded in the sun, looking after
lite, but she was gone like- a squirrel
when she Haw me watching her.
The next time I saw her was when. I
WAS looking for & partioular species of
beetle -I am fond of bugs and worms -
and, being caught in a storm, sought
shelter in the first cabin, which was
kers I She did not open the door until
I had knocked and pounded a number
eif times,
• "An' it's yew," was her laconic greet-
ing, ae she swung the old boards that
served for a door and reluctantly admit-
ted me.
There was a fire on a stone hearth;
there was a very old man asleep in a
chair, and a great brindled cat, with
green eyes, arched itself at his side. The
room was a clean, bright, warm place,
that was- more picturesque than any-
thing I had seen in the dreary piece
called the Pocketcountry, which lies
between Kentucky and Virginia, and
where fate had oast me for a few lonely
weeks. I looked every moment for
some woman to make her appearance;
yet it would be hard to tell where she
wtsuld come from, unless she had been
the loft- above. There was s curtain
bring across a small division of the
eabm, but it concealed nothing.
"Do you keep house here alone?" I
asked.
"With feyther and grartfeyther," said
the ehild, " an -an -Keedeie. "
"Oh, your brother ?"
She nodded her answer; rest on the
bench and dried myself in the firelight;
the old man roused himself and looked
warioxisly at me with red, ferret -like
eyes, that had no lashes to their weak
Me the little girl whispered to him
aid' he went to sleep again.
"How old are you. V 1 asked, when
we had talked a little, and she was not
sii'much afraid of me.
"What do you think?" she asked, in
her quaint way.
I looked at her small childieh figure,
and guessed, "101"
She laughed a little and shook her
small head.
remarked the sharp curvad chin and
ventured "15 ?"
"Try agen."
She threw back her sun -burned hair
and koked full into mine with her
brightfrestless eyes.
! "Seventeen ?"-for I caught the
'glitcHase of e woman's nature in their
clear depths.
"Yoh all out." She sighed as she
spoke.
"I believe you are 50," I -said sharply,
there was such a change in each move -
Anent of the little woman.
't "Time i0," she replied in her child-
ish voice.
I think if she had said 1001 would
mot have been surprised, she was so
weirdly quaint and old. As we were
slitting silent, she watching every motion
I made, there was a greet clattering at
the door, and she flew, with that swift
motion of hers, to open it. There was
aloud, angry voice, which she at onoe
answered in her soft tones, and then a
MASA stumbled into the room, and with-
out notieing me threw hirneelf on the
low little bed and snored instantly -an
ugly, unkempt drunken man, shabbily
garbed and forbidding -looking.
"Ittefeyther," she sighed,11018tooken
son, it's the mountin agoo he's got, an'
it takes holt rite sharp, so's he cannot
do a stroke of work. Poh feyther."
"And the old man?" I queried, poiet-
ing to the slumbering figure in the
sheik,
"Gran'feyther. He's a qomfort toh
IISS mostly; he hasn't the ago yoh see."
"Da you take care of 01080'J -these
dreadful people I had nearly said, but
eheckedmyself-"your father and grand-
father."'
"Yes, an' Kedsiei I Wait till yoh see
Xedsie I"
The first happy look I had. seen came
into her eyes. She was -listening-a
step was at the door, which. openedeind
a young, fresh -looking man came softly
in. He was rather neatly dressed, but
tate look at his long, smooth chin and
open inouth told the stoey-he was
witless.
But the girl's face heightened into a
emu smile; she reached ou tiptoe to
kiaa the pale, flabby cheek of her broth-
er, and she opened the folded fingers of
one nerveless hand to see what he had
there -it was a little field mouse, the
life crushed out by the tension of the
long fiugers that had imprisoned it.
"Yoh killed it, Kedsie," said the girl,
sadly. "Look yeah how its eyes wimple;
ante tortilla in 'ern."
The foolish by laughed; then he
drew &-pretty green lizard from his
pocket and held it with his thumb and
finger, its long, narrow green head rine
&elating like a snake ; he made a mind
1
that resembled the chattering (4 a
monkey, and it was evident that he
knew no power of speech.
"It's wuth money," said the girl, look-
ing at it oritioelly. "You can clieker
fob it it the tavern." ,
The sun mune out and I rose to go;
the est followed me to the door; the
old gran'feyther rose feebly and tottered
out to look at the weather: the drunken
man snored; the little child -woman
leaned against her foolish brother in the
doorway, and patted one soft leaden
hand which she:, held in hers; I was
never one to say-, a graceful or petty
thing when I sheuld, and I blurtedi out
abruptly to the girl: '
"Do you help them all ?" ,
She drew herself up on tiptoe ' and
looked up lovingly into the foolish, im-
becile face.
"Na." she said in a loving voice, "tha
help me l" 1 '
I didthe next worst thing 1 opuld
have done -took ont &silver half -dollar;
fortunately I saw that the little menu-
tain waeherwoman was- a prineelis in
disguise, and I asked humbly: '
"May I buy the hzard ?"
I took the reptile home with mp in a
piece of broken °up ; I have the ibit of
delf yet to remind me of the little r un-
selfish tieing whose history, knowt in
all the Pocket country, is the saddest I
ever heard. The last I ever saw of her
she stood in the rough doorway, regard-
ing with a look of rapt devotion, her
imbecile brother, while the old ' man
leaned on his hickory staff beside her,
and the oat purred trustingly at her
feet, and in the room back of her a
hnrror as of death awaited her. So
small, so trusting, unconscious of any
labor of love to commend her to the
notice of angels, I saw her as in a dream,
that small stature growing to heavenly
heights -
"A daughter of the gods, divinely tall
Ana most divinely fair."

Quack Doctoring of Farm Stock,
A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
very truly observes:
"Half the people -in tide world con-
sider therciselvee fully capable of n•e-
scribing for every ill that the flesh of
beast is_ heir to; and just in proportion
to the littleness of their knowledge of
other subjects their own estimation of
their abilities as 'boss and cove doctors'
rises. Men who have no more idea of
what anatomy is than a mule has of
revealed religion, and who would imag-
ine physiology some new -fangled remedy
for 'hoes colic', see certain that by sur-
veying a sick animal with one eye clos-
ed they can locate Re disease without a
single failure. i
"These people kill inore anitnids than
they cure. It is simply awful to serious-
ly considered some of the doses they
force down the throats of helpless brutes.
If the patient were perfectly beelthy to
start with, in half the oases the treat-
ment would cause death in twenty-four
hours. It is a wonder that people will
allow such disgesting medicines to be
administered. They assuredly 'can not
fail to perceive that such con rations
must work more therm thaI good.
When a domestic animal takps Sick
they seem to bid adieu to sense ,-and
intelligence, and place their wheie trust
in some quack -the more ignorant the
better. They do not know anything
about the brute economy, have no idea
what organs are affected or how they
are affected, nor have they the remotest
inkling of the proper remedy. Half are
.willing and honeet enough to admit -
their ignorance, but the other half hide
their ignorance by the assumptiou of
superior and transcendent wisdom. The
first half, instead of availing themselves
of the services of some good veterieary
surgeon, call on the se ond half to pre-
scribe for their animal . The. (gamic -
tions administered are ppalling. Strong
sirup of tobacco, lye byl the quart, car-
bolic acid, turpentine b the pint, etc.,
are given to horses for tho colic. Their
bellies are rubbed with a chestnut rail ;
a peck of salt is placedn the animal's
f
rump and dissolved w'th l cold water.
The animal.is trotted back and forth
over a twenty -acre field While it lies
on its side its belly is kneaded with a
number ten boot. If it dies, as it is very
apt to do, the doctor is not to blame, for
colic is hard to cure. f it gets well the
doctor gets great credit, for he has ef-
fected a wonderful care. The &retie
administered for colic in horses are
equalled or exceeded br the mixtures
given for other disea es or to other
beasts. All manner of, nimals are bled
and blistered and expo ed to number-
less barbarities.
"There is very little excuse for this,
because in almost ever case ree compe-
tent doctor of voterinay medicine can
be had. If the intellig nt treatmeet of
sick brutes were an int ossibility, turn-
ing them over to the tender mercies of
ignorant quacks could be winked at.
But in this age of intelligence, when
veterinary medicine is a well developed
science, and practised by men who re-
flect honor upon their calling, people
who will persist in employing egotistical
asses to prescribe for beutes deserve to
sustain those frequent losses of animals
that follow such treatrtient, and in ad-
dition public censure for their parsi-
Monions cruelty.
5
"This often prooeede from unmitigat-
ed stinginess. The well qualified doc-
tor would probably charge something
for his services, and raOier than pay it
some mortals will cause their brutes to
suffer untold misery and run the risk of
their dying. But oftener, I think, it
arises from unfounded doubts of the
value and efficacy of the science of
veterinary medicine. They do not be-
lieve that professional 'horse doctors"
really know anything; they believe
they are quacks and hn bugs. To tell
people that they are mitaken will not
convince them. The trouble is, that
in this as in religion th9y must test it
themselves. They an not know
whether or not there s anything in
veterinary practice till they have em-
ployed a competent ph sician. If they
would do so they wo ld probably be
convinced that such mei are not profes-
sional humbugs."
