A Mother-in-law's Fust Ride.
Joe S. is the Fortunate possessor of a
mother iu-law, and, what he i robably
thought more of, among his horses was
oue known as Quaker. Now Quaker
Was a g'.od reader, and could and would
jerk a wokoo with two iu it in 2:?l on
the ro:id, aud the herder he was pulled
iu and the more he was yelled at, the
faster he meant to u<>- In fact, when a
competing horse ranged al ingside and a
strung pull was taken, accompanied by
yells, be thought he must do his level
best on trotting, and you bet be did it.
Not many years ago, when the county
fair was held where Master Joe then
lived, he had old Quaker hitched up to
a 130 pounds three quarter seated wag
on, and, us he was getting in, mother iu
law wished to go with him. lie in
form d her that ho was g< ing to the
town clerk's office at the 1 >w r eud uf
the village (about a uiilej, and if she
was in a hurry to return she would have
to drive back alone, and then cramped
the wagon for her admittance ; and with
Head drooping and sluuehiug g;?it old
Quaker walked along, tuking the ill
assorted pair to the town clerk's oi5?e.
Now, be it known, Joe dearly loves fun.
and will have it as often as possible,
white mother-in-law is a rigid, old
fbcht^^d. sky-blue Baptist, uudoubted
ly very good, but unfortunately possessed
with the idea'that to laugh is to sin. !t
so happened that every team at that
time was going to tlia fair grounds, or
else was walking ; so Qu iker had no
chance to "score up," bur just as they
arrived at the office ol the town clerk,
S. saw Jack Barnes oomiug on his way
to the fair. Now Jack's mare has the
reputation of being 4 or f> seconds faster I
than old Quaker. To turn Quaker
around, jump out, and advise mother-in I
law to drive slow going home, was but a
iniuute's work ; and then holding up his
hand to attract Jack's attention, he told
him he would pay chickeu fixings and
etceteras if he would range alongside
Quaker at speed, yell, and spirt the old
horse up the street to the Fair Ground's
entrance. A nod. and Jack touches
Lady Cultcr with his whip, sings out
git ! and lays for Quaker, who, hearing
the stepper coming, grabs at his bit.
Mothcr-ui law takes hold of reins in
Iront uf the buttons; puts feet against
brace iron iu front, and as the lady
ranges alongside, Jack yelling lively,
mother in law takes her strongest pull,
screaming whoa ! to ?top her ??auimitc "
But he didn't stop?not much?he
didn't. The pull was just enough to
steady him good ; whoa ho evidently
considered to be meant for a sell to the
other horse, und squatted to go his
level best, aud ju^t did it. Now you
bet ! Barnes was actually getting left
behind, aud warming up to his Work ho
commenced in right good t amest to sing
out, -'Hi Varr ! Go er long ! What ar?s
you about ! Git, won't yer ?" and they
d d git?nice?"both on 'cm " The
people they passed seeing their spjed
and the old lady's hat on the back of her
neck, her shawl streaming out bohind,
and the courage with which sho hung
on to the lines, clapped their hands aud |
eucouragingly sung out, "Good, old
gal!"?"Gay old bird !"--"2:40 !"?
'?Bully for old Quaker!'* Aud as they
passed the two hotels the fast boys on
the piai.zas gave them three cheers with
a vim?in fact, with several extra vims.
Jce's mother in law took the first
evcring train for her Green Mountain
home. His parting words were, "he
should not dare allow her to drive Qua
ker agsin, as be had cautioned her to
drive alow, aud she had goue and beat
one of the fastest horses iu town."
Joe said next day, with a quiet twin
kle iu his eye, that bit wife did not give
him a "curtain lecture" that night, and
when parties put up thoir little bats on
? t, he proved by Jaox Barnes that they
went out to Pittsburgh tor their chicken
fixings and etceteras, and didn't get
buck until 6 o'clook next morning,
A Western Incident.
A target shoot was a grand thing among
the rough pioneers; there were some visi
tors from beyond the mountsins, snd
each rifleman was particularly anxious to
display his own accomplishment before
ihe strangers. Mika Firk was among
them ?tbe prince of marksmen. Buton
this occasion he was unusually quiet aud
reticeut.
After exhibiting their skill by "cut
ling the center," to tbe satisfaction of
the visitors, it came Fink's turn to per
form the grand final feat ?f the occa
sion.
This consisted in setting 9 tin cup on
the head ofoueo.rthe party, and placing
him at the distance c?uity paces, shoot
ing the cup off the head of the person
supporting it. Mike as usual seledted
Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All knew
his skill and no one would hesitate to
have performed the service, They did
not know, however, that but a short time
before this Mike had fallen out with Joe,
and had patieutlv waited the time for
h*n revengo. Joe accepted the honor
with alacrity, especially gratifi-id at
Mike's commendatory remarks, as he re
quested him to perform the service. Fink
expressed himself conti lent that he could
' plug the foremost side of the cup, pro
vided Joe would hold it up, for he allus
held it kind o' stidy like."
The distance Was measured?the cup
hearer took his station; tho shining hel
met was placed upon his head. Mike
took his "peg," pricked his flint, primed
hisgrelock, poised his rifle, took aim and
fired, The ball crushed through the
brain of his former friend ani comrade,
and Joe Stevens fell prono to tha earth
I and expired without a groaf. Mike's
rengeauce was satiated. Hot Joe had a
brother there that u*?y^ ^v^_^
He. as well as the o?irr persons" pHLi.
sent, knew that "Mike Fink had playnd
foul." Scarcely has the light smjke
wreath from Mike's fatal rifle vanished
i into thin air, when Dick Stevens, the
j brother of the murdered Joe, brought
! his unerring rifle to bear upon the mur
I derer, aud iu an instant a hall was crash
j ing through the skull of Miko Fin'< and
j he fell dead in his placr- at the p^g from
I whence he sent the messenger of
j death to a felluw heinjr only a few seoou 1
\ before.
A deep and wide pit was dug and in
I to it the rude backswoodsmcn lowered
? the lifeless forma of murdered and tnur

Many can still recollect when tidings
came of the silent heroism with which
more than fire hundred soldiers, in the
wreck of the liirkcnhcad, met death iu
the spirit of obedience to duty ; and that,
too. when there was none of the excite
incut of battle au 1 of victory to cheer
j them on. The soldiers stood in their
i ranks on the deck of the sinking ship
while the women and children were
quietly put into ouo of the b..ats. '"Every
one did as he was directed," says
Captain Wright, or." of the few
who escaped to tell 'he tale; "aod there
was not a murmur or a cry among them
till the vessel made her find plunge.
All tho officers received their orders, anl
liud tkem carried out, as if the men
were embarking instead of going to th.'
bottom. There was ouly this d;.:Tcrcucc,
I never saw auy embatkath'n con
ducted with so little noise and confusion.
W/heu the vessel was just going dowu,
the cotnmauder''?not of the soldiers,
but of the ship?"called out, 'AH those
who can swim jump overboard, aud
make for the boats.' The officer begged
the men not to do us the commander
said, as the bout with the women must
be swamped. Not mere cl uu three tuado
the attempt. And so they sank among
the waves, carrying the habits of duty,
which they had learut as foldicrs, into
that last act of self-sacrifice."?.bj'r LJ

The English H?rre*t
A London lerter says: Om won doth
tread upon another'a heals: sad now, ia
addition to the almost complete rum of
the potatoe crop, and a fresh outbreak
of the osttle plague, we hear that in
Scotland, sad the North of England, the
wheat, rye, barley, and oat harvest it
spoiled, "The weather for the last fort
night has bean unprecedented in la*
history of our harr cits." aays the leading
Scotch journal; "the rainfall has been
again excessive: the atmosphere clogged
with moisture; thunderstorms hare been ?
comman, and the electrical action of the
air of a moat disturbing character./ Ia
consequence of all this. "The crops are
not only bad in every sense of the term,
but the expense of securing thorn it
everywhere excessive.', In those quar
ters where the wheat hat not yet been
cut it is deteriorated by e second growth
and when it has been put up in aheavta
the wet weather has made whole field
quite unsuitable for human food. Bar?
ley and oat3 have also suffered in the
same way, and ia n word, the destruction
of the cereal crops in Scotland and the
North of England is nearly complete.
As in the potato rot it is stated th?t tin
former estimates of lots have all been
groatiy understated, with the exceptio?
of Ireland. In that island the disease
a fow week? ago was very prevalent, but
for some undiscovered cause ita ravages
have been arrested, and the crop there)
will be at least tolerably good- Through
out England and Scotland in those
localities where potatoes hare for many
' years been extensively grown the short
coming is now said to range between
