A Mothcr-iii-Iuw's Fust Ride.
Joe S. is the fortunate possessor of a
mother iu-luw, and, what be probably
thought more of, among his horses was
one known as Quaker. Now Quaker
Was a g<.od roader, aud could aod would
jerk a wa>jon with two iu it iu 2:51 on
the road, aud the border he was pulled
in and tbe more he was yelled at, tbe
faster he meant to ho. In fuct, when a
competing horse ranged alongside and a
strung pull was taken, accompanied by
yells, be thought be must do his level
best on trottiug, and you bet be did it.
Not many years ago, when the county
fair was held where Master Joe then
lived, be had old Quaker hitched up to
a 130 pounds three quarter seated wag
on, and, as he Was getting in, mother in
law wished to go with him. He in
form d her that he was going to the
town clerk's office at the l?W r cud of
the Tillage (about a tuilej, 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 dftllpiug and sloucbiug gait old
Quaker walked aloog, taking the ill
assorted pair to the town clerk 's office.
Now, be it known, Joe dearly loves fun,
aud will have it as ottep as possible,
whi'e mother-in-law ? a rigid, old
fiigbitted, sky-blue Baptist, undoubted
ly very good, but unfortunately possesied
with the idea that to laugh is to sin. It
so happened that every team at that
time was going to tho fair grounds, or
else was walking; ho Quaker had no
ehaoce to "score up," but. just us they
arrived at the office ui the town clerk,
S. saw Jack Barucs cotniug on his way
to tbe fair. Now Jack's mare has tbe
reputation of being 4 or 5 seconds faster
than old Quaker. To turn Quaker
around, jump out, and advise mother-in
law to drive slow going home, was but a
minute's work j aud then holding up bis
hand to attract Jack's attention, he told
him he would pay chiekeu fixings and
otcetctM 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 Culter with his whip, sings out
git ! and lays for Quaker, who, hearing
the stepper coming, grabs at his bit.
Mothcr-tu-law takes hold of reins in
Iroot of the buttons; puts feet against
brace iron iu frout, and as the lady
ranges alongside, Jack yelling lively,
mother in law takes ber strong pull,
screaming whoa ! to stop her "auiniilo "
13ut he didn't stop?not much?he
didu't. Tho pull was just enough to
steady him good ; whoa ho evidently
considered to be meant for a sell to the
other horse, und si|uutted to go his
level best, und just did it. Now you
bet ! Barnes was actually getting left
behind, and warming up to bis Work he
commenced in right good earnest to sing
out, -'Hi Varr ! Go er long ! What aro
you about ! Git, won't yer ?" and they
d'd git?nice?"both on 'em." The
people they passed seeing their spjed
aud the old lady's hat on tho back of her
neck, her shawl streaming out bohind,
and the courage with which sho hung
on to the lines, clapped their hands and
encouragingly sung out, "Good, old
gal!"?"Gay old bird !"?"2:40 !"??
"Bully for old Quaker!" Aud as they
passed tho two hotels the fast boys on
the piazzas gave them three cheers with
a vim?in fact, with several extra vims.
Jce's mother in law took the first
evening train for her Green Mountain
home. His parting words were, "he
should not dsre allow ber to drive Qua
ker sgain, as be had cautioned her to
drive slow, and she had goue end beat
one of tbe fastost horses in town.''
Joo said next day, with a quiet twin
kle iu his eye, that his wife did not give
him e "curtain lecture" that night, and
when parties put up their little bets on
it, he proved by Jaox Bernes that they
went out to Pittsburgh for their ohickeo
fixings and etceteras, end didn't get
beck until 6 o'clock next morning,
A Western Incident.
A target shoot was a grand thing among
the rough pioneers; there were some visi
tors from beyond the mountains, and
each rifleman was particularly anxious to
display his own accomplishment before
ihe Grangers. Mike Fink was among
them?tie prince of marksmen. But on
this occasion he waa unusually quiet and
reticent.
After exhibiting their skill by "cut
ting the center," to the satisfaction of
the visitors, it came Fink's turn to per
form the grand final feat of the occa*
aion.
This consisted in setting a tia cup on
the head of cue of the party, and placing
him at the distance of fifty pscca, shoot
ing the cup off the head of the person
supporting it. Mike as usual seledted
Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All koew
his skill and no ono would hesitate to
have performed the service, They did
not know, however, that bnt a short time
before this Mike had fallen oat with Joe,
and had patieutly waited the time for
hit rovengo. Joe accepted tho honor
with alacrity, especially gratifi-id at
Mike's comraeudatory remarks, as he re
quested him to perform the service. Fink
expressed himself confident 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 wjs measured?tho cup
bearer took his station; tho shining hel
met was placed upon his head. Mike
took bis ''peg," pricked his flint, primed
hisgrelock, poised his rifle, took aim and
fired, The ball crushed through the
brain of his former friend and comrade,
and Joe Stevens fell prone to the earth
and expired without a groat. Mike's
vengeance was satiated. But Joe had a
brother there that uay~ ^.^^
He, as well as the oth?r p-trsoa'rp'^.
sent, knew that "Mike Fink bad playnd
foul." Scarcely lias the light smoke
wreath from Mike's fatal rifle vanished
into thin air, whsn Dick Steven**, the
brother of the murtlercd Joe, brought
his unerring rifle to bear upon the mur
derer, and in an instant a bill was crash
ing through the skull of Miko Fin'-: and
he fell dead in hi* place at the p^g from
whence be la-i seut the messenger or
death to a fellow being only a few seaou 1
before.
A deep and wide pit wa? dug and in
to it the rude baokswoodsmen lowered
the lifeless forms of murdered and mur

[Ikioicr Obedience to D'ctt.?
Many can stiil recollect when tidings
came of the silent heroism with which
more than five hundred soldier.*, in the
wreck of the Birkcnhoad, met death in
the spirit of obedience to duty ; and that,
too, when there waa none of the excite
ment of battle aul of victory to cheer
them on. The soldiers stood in their
? ranks on the deck of the sinking ship
while the women and children were
quietly put iuto ouo of the boats. '"Every
one did as ho was directed," tsuys
Captain Wright, one of tho few
who escaped to tell the tale; "and there
was not a murmur or a cry among them
till the vessel made her fin il plungo.
All the officers received their orders, anl
bad tkem carried out, as if the mcu
were embarking instead of going to th.'
bottom. There was only this difference,
I never saw auy embarkation con
ducted with so little noise and confusion.
When the vessel was just going dowu,
the commander''?not of the soldiera,
Liu of the ship?"culled out, 'All those
who can swim jump, overboard, aud
make for tho boats.' The officer begged
the men uot to do as the commander
said, as the boat with the women must
be swamped. Not mere cliau thrco made
iho attempt. And so tbty sank among
tho waves, carrying tho habits of duty,
which they had learut as foldicrs, into
that last act of sclf-aacrificc."? A?> Ed

addition to the almost complete ruie of
the poutoe crop, end ft fresh outbreak
of the cattle plague, we beer that is
Scotland, and the North of England, the
wheat, rye, barley, end oat harrest it
spoiled, "The weather lor the last fort
night has been unprecedented in the
history of our harrest!." says the leading
Scotch journal; "the rainfall has been
again excessive: the atmosphere clogged
with moisture; thunderstorm* hate ?M ?
commao, and the electrical action of the
air of a most disturbing character./ In
consequence of all this. "The crops are
not only bad in every cense ef the teem,
but the expense of securing them it
everywhere excessive.', In those quar
ters where tho wheat has not yet been
cut it is deteriorated by e second growth,
and when it has been put up in sheaves
the wet weather hss made whole field
quite unsuitable for human food. Bar
ley and oata have also suffered in tho
same way, and in a word, the destruction
of the cereal crops in Scotland end the
North of Bngland is nearly complete.
As in the potato rot it is stated that tho
former estimates of loss have ell Wen
groatiy undorstated, with the exception
of Ireland. In that island the disease
a few weeks ago was very prevalent, bat
for some undiscovered cause its ravages
havo been arrested, and toe crop tbeew
will be at least tolerably good- Through
out England and Scotland in those
localities where potatoes have for many
years been extensively grown the abort
coming is now said to range between
thirty and eighty per cent. Under that*

J A Beautiful Experiment.?The)
i following beautiful experiment may be
? easily performed by a lady, to tha great
astonishmeut of a circle at her tea party
Tako two or three leaves of red cabbage,
cut them into small bits, put them into
a basin, and pour a pint of boiling water
on thum; let it stand an hoar, then pour
if off into a decanter It will be ?fe>
: fine blue co'or, Then take four win?
glasses: into one put six drops of Sironj?
vinegar; into another six drops of solution
of soda, into a third a strong solution of
alum; and let the fourth remain empty.
The glasses may be prepared some time
before, and the few drops ot colorless
liquid that have been placed in them
will not bo noticed. Fill up tbe glasses
from the decanter, and the liquid poured
into the glass containing the acid will be
a beautiful red; tho glass.containing the
soda will be a fine green; that poured in*
to the empty one will remain unchanged
By adding a little vinegar to the green
it will immediately ehange to the red,
j and on adding a little solution of soda
? to ?he red it will assume a fine ??**n
1 thus showing the action o? toils and
