'l "THUNDtRBOLT'S" VICTORY. Thcro ftro ill a fow towns in Mussa obuHottH where tho rail way train ia nover r.een und wbero there is no tele graph. An unpaintod farmhouse, big and square with long barns and Bhcds in the rear, stood in such a town. It was a day in September, as hot and sultry as if it wero midsummer. A doc tor'# "sulky had just driven up to the gato and tho horse stood hitohod at the post. In tho yard, lying under one ol tho olrns, was a boy of abont thirteoo. Ho was thin und palo; but there was a bright, reaolnte look in his oyos that attracted one. Frod. Appleton had been in Warnham for a couplo of months. Ho ha-.l been eent out by his uncle, that I10 might have tho benefit of oountry air, after a long and proBtrat* leg fovor. The lads eves wero fixed on the open door which led into tho ball. Everything in tho honso was ominously still. Out of doors the .xthickeiYa war> "oraktog" fkbout the yard and making Hndden runs at insects. r N jw a low groan from tho room at \ left of tho front door made Frod. \ \^twt and grow palft^Hia uancU thert!?elv?? JlM'A with an involuntary motion Xot anothor Bound was heard for nearly half on hour, and then stops Approached from within tho bouse and tho doctor camo out on tho piazza. He was followed olofoly by a middle aged woman. Neither of thom appeared to notice Fred., and both stopped at tho gate. "Dootov, how is it?" asked Mrs. Morris, in a voice that was not steady. "Bail I very bad I it's a oase whero I cannot speak with hope. It was an awful fall from that scaffold. Take care of hor as I havo Bald. It's all that can b? dono. It is heartbreaking ot hear her call for her fathor." Tho dootor was evidently in a hurry. Ho jumped into his carriage and rodo away, leaving Mrs. Morris standing ?here. Tho woman looked after him a rarmout wHh unscolnpr eyes, then phe wrung her'bands violently, wbilo olie rxdJatmed in a low voioo : "If Charles had not gone I If ho oonld only bo de tained I" \ Fred. Appleton roso, oamo quietly forward, and touched the woman's arm. "In Clara going to dioV" ho asked. Mrs. Morris \ immediately mado an effort, to controtfjherself, and said : "I am afraid po. It wan a bad fall. Oh I it is vcfry hatd !" "Ton just spoke about hor father. Cannot word be got to him before I10 goos onboard thesteamor?" the boy ankcd. Mrs. Morris tromblod. The girl ly ing in tho houso was her nicoo ami about ?ho same ago as Frod. 8ho was tho only child of her brothor, Charles Roth, and dear as hor own daughter to her. Tho father had gono. no waft on his way to Boston, to embark on board a (htnard steamer for Europe. * Ilo had r^mninod in Warnham until trio last moment, aud had just timo toreaoh tho eity, if nothing delayed him. "It can't bo dono I'' Mrs. Morris an swered. ' It oan't be dono I Tho telo graph station is ton miles away. Beforo nny one could, go there Charles will flint no^s ho jitoars tho other sldo tho Atlantic will Wreak his heart I ' 1 Fred stood jhn instant, with his bright glance fixod on his companion's faco. ?'Ian'^j thoro timo to reach North |K>rl ?" he as^cd. "There'# not a homo in tho town oould do it," was the reply. Frod's oyoB lightened. "Thunder bolt ctu'd," ho said, quickly, "aiyd, Mrs. Morris, I will rido him. ClarA's fithorshal know." t Tho boy started away, nut ho was ' followed and his arm oaught, a^Mfs. Morris orfed : * "Ho will throw you I ?.You know you are afraid ef himl YotcVnist not do it I And yon oonldu' reaoh there." ^ ?'Iherh's a ohanoe , of my doin* it, w " ,otp t"' he ttiraod to ask. ii chance." timo to iSae! cried Fred, a? \ toward t|ie barn. true that/ Frod was afraid of loirbolt,*' for the col -, bad kicked SO he had ft^t e me to tho farm, ?d bad natrta.'lly felt a little (toward, for his health had not )bnst enough vr/fcpH ble him to id fear a?? ho otherwise wonld lone. the boy entered the barn, a I whinny greeted him, and a long, & head, with big, wild-looking eyes, *raed toward him from one of the Fred, an ho bad said, had no to lone. <He oonld not atop to whether be wished to go in the *?" not. Be stepped In qniokly, ' ^-Me on hit atm, and in two , the aaddle waa on the ' " S boy^bad flung him t temper the young I ? : ,, ? w 1 horse whs, and he knew that it mi?ht tako the notion to atop and kick and throw himself about, so that ho might unseat his rider, and he knew also that "Thunderbolt," if heohose, might oovcr ten miles in bo short a time tbat bo might hope to reaoh Northport in Mrs. Morris, sitting by the insensible ? girl, heard the rush of tho hordb's feet, as tlioy went ont of tho yard, and an in i audible prayer was in her heart. She 1 glkuoed at the clock which was ticking ; on tho mantel, and sho told herself the thins? the bor was trying to do was im possible. There was not a braver boy 1 for many a mile than Fred Applet on, | and he bad made up hl? mind that it should take a very powerful effort to ! got him off of "Thunderbolt'*" baok. ! Hod he been moro robust iu health ho i might have enjoyed thia furious start. ' Aa it vo*. afUr a f?W mowwt*, Wbm j the colt had settled down into it* tro ' mendous strido, Frod grew aocustomed | to thus clcaving tho sultry air, an.l ' pat mora securely, whilo ho felt : ihut savage exultation which comes j to ' ufl who aits on an animal wbo seem* to have powor to annihilate apaco. Fred f.ung up his baud and uttered a bhrill wbcop. Uo was mouarob of a | force as good oh anj in tho "Arabian , Nights." IIo would not exchange bis ! seat on "Thundotbolt" for any magical gift in thit book. At Ibo sound of bis I 1 cry the colt lurchod forward still faster | j aud sncrtod, as if the heavy, fragrant 1 ' atmosphere were something which made I him drunk. j Tiio boy told himself that bo must ! reach Bnckot villago by a certain time I and Bucket villago was ball- way to Northport. It was a placo where tbo whole bubine.ss was tho making of wooden pails of different kinds. Now, just before he came to a sharp turn in i tbo road, theri\ emorgod from round tbo 1 corner tho llrst of throo tall, long wagons, piled hip h with wooden pails. Fred, warned by tho pricking up cf his horse's ears, gathered the lines more firmly in Lii hands and made himself ss strong on his seat as possible; and all bis precautions wero nocosBary, for "Thunderbolt" leaped to one sido as bo shot by the wagons. Tho boy swayod fear fully; but ho stuck, and then tho colt roso high in tho air, his front foot paw ing out, his whole flgnro the pioturo of terrible beauty. Fred hadroaohed that pitch where it was imposBiblo for him to fear anything; ho was too thoroughly filled with excitouaont; but ho was afraid tbat "Thunderbolt" would now "cut up some of his antics," and thus delay arrival in Northport. lie pulled sharply at tho lines and pounded his heels into tho horso'a Bides, calling out authoritatively to him. Tho man on the last wagon had jump ed down from his seat and was running np. , "Dou't topoh him!" oried out Fred, who was anxioup ?bovo all thin.gSf to be detained, * v/hoifc 'blood was by this i.~g, aud who felt as if he could be a toll for a hundred "Tbuu derbolts." The man fell back from bofore tho pawing foot, looking in amazeraont at tho ilorv-eyed boy who Bat upon tho horse. On the seoond tono of sharp command, as if in surprise, dropped his feet and darted away, leaving tho man staring. * "Good graeiouB 1" he exolaimed, as be walked back to his wagon. "Was that 'ere a real horse 'n' boy, or a appear ance ? I hope 'taint a forowarnin' of nothin'! ' "When Fred passod through tbo next villago tho dock was striking tho hour, and the sound sent a thrill of apprehen sion through him, for it was ton minutes later than the time at which h? bad cal culated to bo in that plaoo. Ho had oome fast enough ; it was not that. It must bo that tho clock at tho farmhouse bad been slow, and what a fatal slow ness that might be. Fred thought of Clara ; of her father stepping on beard tbo boat nevor to boo bor again ; aud tbon oamo a romombranoo of a cart-path whioh wont across n piece of woodland and eaino out on tho main road almost a mile nearer Northport than it was by the traveled way. Tho path must bo oIobo by hero. Ho was nuro he lmd not passed it and thero it was. Without hesitation, ho tnrned his horse's bead in that dirootion and rode on bonoath the low drooping trees. Moro than half way through ho saw ahead of him a fallen tree, lying directly aoross tho way. Can vou imagine the pang that wont through tho boy's heart, as he saw that ? No time to go baok, and on oaoh sido thickly-growing wood, filled with a heavy growth of brier and underbrush. Again he thought of tho girl ljing at homo there and moaning and oalllng for her fathor, and ho resolved to try. He no more romorabored himsolf than if ho oonld not bo hurt. "Go on, Thundorl" ho shouted. The oolt was not half-broken in any way. IIo know nothing of leaping; but ho saw that thoro wns an obstaoio l>oforo him and hininstinot v is to jnmp ^ . at . w. /? , ? . t. : - four logs under him, ho roso jn tho air like &on?o -vingod thing, and went over tho tree and landed on tho other side without having touohod a twig of it. As for Fred, warn there any broath loft in him? IIo thought that it did not oome baok for novoral minutoa after tho horso had landed ; but he was oonsnious of a swelling Honso of magnificent triumph. The oolt woe as wot as if ho had been in tbo water ; tho perspiration droppe 1 ofT ^lim aa he went .nd his blaring eyes j'protruded and soomod to emit sporkr.. Throe minuloe later, tho horso and ridor had ontered the outskirts of North port. "Thundorbolt" was running now. Everybody atood and gar.od. It was as if some demon horse had gone by. Did ho have wingn, or was it a mortal stood? In two mlnntea moro thoy had roaohod tho depot. Frod was off bin baok Mlmast boforo the animal had stopped and had daehtd into tho station. ^'Telegraph I" he gasped out to tho oleirk, who instantly pnt himsolf in read in e\", noeing how nruent wss the ease. "Telegraph to Oharlos Roth, Wharf of Ounitfd Hteamem, E*f>t Boston. Olara is ill A Oome baok. Havo yon got it?" ThAelerk nodded. "MfEto it go, then. I'll wait,'1 whis pered hoy, and he gave his name, and th?fc ??nk baok helpless and trem bling o\ a setteo. The reaotion had oome. Something gnrgled np to his lipa, n<\_'"wbled for hi* handkerohiof. lie hear* aome one say: "MoroyJ What'a th*\matter with the boy I" And then he haftf bis handkerchief to his month and #*W that the linen was stain ed with bloAd He dimly ?on* hurried^^^^^^^^^^H*Tt" horn and jJfM <a not conscious of thinking of anything | but "Would Mr. Roth get it? Some questions wore asked him, but : he did not try to reply. Outsido, half a doron men were clus- ; terod about the dripping and panting 1 horse. How much time paeeed Fred did not | know, He was laia on a lounge and ho j was willing to lie very nuietly. No moro blood oatne, and he aropf>?d into j a kind of dotei lie started up instantly, i hpwover, when be hoard a voioe saying: j "Here's your snswor." He took tho paper ami road: ? "Am ooming. C. Horn." I "Now. I'll go," said the boy, getting on bis feet. "Where's 'Thunderbolt f ' "You are not going on the horse,' said a man, speaking with authority. "I'll take tou in my buggy." It was the doctor who had been sum moned and who caroftllly 'questionod Fred a* they rode homeward, the eOlt having been put in a Btable until ho should bo called for. Contrary to tho doctor's foars, Frod was not ill, although ho had to bo very quiet for a week or two. Whon ho reached tho house and was allowod to tell Clara himself that her father had not sailed and that ho was ooming t? her, ho thon^ht tho on her faoo paid him for his journey. When, next day, he taw the girl lying in her father's arras, ho was moro than over glad. "1 should never havo forgiven myself . if I had sailoJ," Kaid Mr. Roth to tho i boy. "I owo you moro than I can toll. ! Tho doctor f-nyn Clara's joy at my re turn has given him a hope that her sys ? tem may rally from tho injury." The gentlom-.n was liotdiug Fred'H hands in both his own, nshoHpoke, and his eyes were glisteDiag. " 'Thnnderbolt'won," said Frd, gayly. Now I think of it, it really sooms ns if I did not rido a horse, but nomo sort of imp i '.ho shapo of ouo. Nothing oleo oould havo mado suoh time, though." | When next Fred wont nour tho oolt, I u was ovident that tho animal was glad : to eoo him, and soon tho whole house hold learned that "Thunderbolt'' would obey Fred bo'ttor than any one elso, and tho boy began to have an affootion for tho beautiful boast which had carried him so woll. A fow weeks lator Mr. Rjth oame upon Fred, as ho wns sitting in the barn, looking ovor somo ilshing-taoklo. "What do you think I havo just done?" said the gentleman, Fred looked np. "How oan I guess?" ho answered. "I have bought 'Thunderbolt' of Mr. Morris." Fred'd faco foil. "You will tako him awi;y, I sup pose ?" ho said, in a low voice. "No. I have bought him for a dear friend of mine." Something in Mr. Roth's tono made Fred's cheeks flush ; but he B?id no thing, and Mr. Roth wont on : " liltO* ?>?d ? I bought, him for you." Fred's oyos danoed. He sprang to his feet. "I'd rathor havo him than any thing in tho world I" ho cried excitodly. Then ho went on, with hesitation : "lint isn't he a very oxpenaive present? Perhaps I ought not?" ? Lot me bo the jndgo of that," inter rupted Mr. Roth. "All you have to do is to tako tho horso and be oarofnl of yourself and him." Fred sprang to tho Bido of tho oolt and throw his arms around the Bhining neck. "We novor'll be parted in I ho world 1" ho oriod, eagerly, And "Thunderbolt's" bright oyos !ookrd as if their owner know what his young mastor paid . U...- . . ...JL. ! The Anclcnt World, Iu ft reoent lootnro on the world at tho timo of man's appearanoe, lioyd Dawkins, tbo English geologist, gave a brief fikotoh of eorao of tho ohangos wliioh havo prnaodod tbo prosont con- , dltion of tho earth's nurfaco. In tho oooono and mioceno periods, ho Bald, Enropo was united with looland and Oroenland, and also with tho Unitod States of America by a barrier of land, extonding past tho Faroo Isles, whioh wan covored by donso foroot, oomposed to a largo extent of tho same trees, in Enropo and in America, and whioh allowed of a oomparativoly froo migra tion of animals to and fro between En gland and tho United Btatos. In the rivors of Enropo were alligators and fish not to bo distinguinhed from those of Amorioa, In tho pliooone ngo tho bat rior of land booamo depressed, and for the first tino^in tho history of tbo world what is now tho Atlantio became oon neotod with tho Arotio sea. During all theso ohangos tho British Islos formod part of tho continont, and tho Atlantio seaboard was marked by tho fivo hun dred fathom line. As regards tho changes in ollmato in Enropo in tho three periods, tho looturor fiaid that during tho firRt poriod tho olimato was tropioal in Britain, palms and broad frntts and other sonthovn troes living in ?.ho sonthoasK of England, In tho boo ond period the miwiwo \V?n nooior ana palms woro scarce, but magnolia and tnlip troas and sequoias abounded. In the third poriod the olimato booame trmporato. Theso surroundings of man woro gradually shaprd in tno threo earlier stago of tho tortir.ry period until they arrived vory early at that equi librium whioh is found to-day. A (Jllmpsc of the Hpleudid Pant. Fivo hundred years boforo the birth of Christ there was a city in Italy called Hjbar.s. It was a magnifioont place, and tho wealth and lnxnryof its inhabi tants was so great that tho name Hybaris mints to this day as a pseudonym of a devotee of ploasuro. It was at one timo so populous, that it could sond 000, 000 men into the field, yet its annals are lost and its groat men unknown. All tho information wo learn is the faot of its greitnops, and that its ruins are to day undor the bod of a rivi-r in southern Italy. It scams that thorn was aqnarrol amongst tho rulers of this miphty oity, and tho discontented joined with their enemies, thoOrotoniates, who snooeeded in oapturing Hybaris, drove ont its in habitants, and, to mako its rnin oom plhte, changod the oonrso of a river so that it swept ovor tho remains of the once mighty municipality. To-day the ruins aro oovored by a bed of slime and earth from sixteen to twenty foot deep, and soon tho work of bringing the ro mains to light will bo nndertaken. It is believed that the memorials of a vory distant post will be brought to Hpht eqnal to if not oxoeemng in internet thone of Pompeii. Why is a certain kind of window called a bay window?

Wholo do- ; partmcnts are given in oerta..' of the larger dry goodB establishments to tho j salo of oosmotics for tho faoeand hands, j and two or throo shops aro known as places whero tho faoe is ''made up' en tirely, the hair, oomploxion, eyoo:own , and eyelashes ate altered to suit tho | artist. Tho most disgusting of those i tricks to enhanco feminine charms ;s the | habit of covering the lips with re.l ? pomade, daubing it on in such a sprond j that it might bo scrapod off with a j spoon, or make a tiuy meal for a hungry j stroot gamin. Tho facial decoration no I longer distinguiohos tho woman of tho deini dwihIh from rospectablo women ; It is tho fashion to improvo nature and for a lady to mako herself beautiful if art will so assist hor by lotions, and paints, and powdors, eto. The praotice, how evor, is little short of disgusting. "Wheuover you olft^ your dyo?on r woman as plump as a partridgo, with a milJty whitoness of complexion, puffy eyelids and swollen skin, you'vo found a victim of tho habit," says a phyiioian of Cleveland to a roporter, in allading to the growing uso of arsenioamoag the ladies of that city. "If there is * deli cate tingo of rod on the oheeks, don't be deoeived. Paint, not nataro, is re sponsible for the bloom, made hifleou* and ghastly by contrast with the corpsey tfhitenosB of tho rest of the faoe. The arsenio eator Is rarely downcast or des pondent, come what may, for the drug not only affoots the skin, but prctfuoos mental exhilaration. The plumpners produced by arsonio is not natural plumpness, but rather a dropsical con dition of tho skin, Cessation of the habit oausos this water-distended skin to collapse, and wrinkles aud satyow nc8B aro tho inevitable results. Of oourso no woman is willing to submit to this ordeal when It may be provented, at tho mere saoriflco of health aud in tellect, by a continuation of tho use of the drug. The inovitablo rosulta of tho arsenio habit aro hideous aud incurable ontanoous eruptions and loathsome dis eases of tho scalp, falling out of tho hair, dropsy and oftentimes insanity. But what oaro tho footlight favorite or the sooioty bollo for those trifling after inoonvenienooq so long as they oan borrow illnsivo oharms and fiotitious beauty for a fitting day by the use of a deadly drug ?'' A groat sonndal ooours to my mind, nay a writor in All the Yenr Round, an happening in Cariro in 1880.

"I ap plied GUI) pounds of dry, unleaehed ashes to tho acre, and sowed wheat on that, and the losult was only six bushels to the acre. Adjoiniug this tract I drilled in 'JUO pounds of bone duBt, and tho three acres produced twenty bushels to tho acre, being an increased vicld of fourteen bushels over the traot sown with wood ashes. Tho following year j I used 500 pounds of bone dust on tho i plat whero I had previously sown (100 pounds of ashes, and tho result was forty buoliels of wheat to the acre, being double what tho bone produced alono. This experiment satisfied mo that ashes alono or bono duet alone would not give me a yield that paid to my "satisfaction. This aero with ashes yielded six bush els, tho acre with l>one dust yielded twenty bushels, but when tho two were combined I harvested forty bushels. This shows what experiments and a small expenditure of monoy will do for tho progressive farmer." HHfcllon nnd Mowlnn ol ?<?>rd. Provident farmorB not only furnish themselves with good seed, but taking timo by the forelock, mako all needful purchases in this line in ample time so that when thftH'rush and hurry of tho Wbfvy?. zf. Umka. be to dolay. By good soed is meant, or should moan, not only seed that is frosh and will roadily gorminato, but soed produced from 6olooted seed stock. It is upon th? quality and condition of tho seeds sown that the profits of tho garden and Held most largely depond. No farmer can afford to risk sowing damaged or defeotivo scod ; hence tho wisdom of tosting seed previous to planting it. It is a comparatively small mattor to dr> Vu'ih, as tno?t reader* know. Tho germinating powers of wheat, rye, oats and barley may be tested by Bowing some Beed in gardon pot-saucers or other unglnzed oarthen vossols Bet in wator and oovercd with moist flannel. Glovor and grans seods may bo tested in the snmo way, an, indeed, may gardon seods. If tho seod germinatcB irregularly it is a sign that old and new soed have boon mixed. If only a small per oont. germinates tho soed should be, of course, discarded. Tho heaviost seed, other things being oven, is best. Tho soed soleotod, tho next consider ation in tho cultivation of a crop is tho condition of tho Boil. Tho toraperatnro and moifllnro- of the ground havo moro to do with tho buccossob and fai lores yearly reoordod than ifl generally aotod upon. Wheat and barley, for instance, while they will struggle through tho ground ot the oxtromo temperatures of forty-ono and 100 dogreos, germinate most quiokly ? other oonditions being equal? at about eighty-four dogreos. Corn does best at about ninety degrees, though it will germinate at from fifty to 115 degrees. Tho squash, bean and pea all gorminato roadily at about tho samo tomporature as that, given for oorn. Clovor weed often fails bocause sown at a timo of insufficient moisture, whilo millet, for instanoe, under similar conditions of drynosn, will seonre a good o, atoh. Tho depth of planting is another im portant point. The bTbo of the seed should rognlato the depth of covering. Oorn must bo plaoed deopor, thoroforo, than tho small grains, and tho small grains in turn deeper than tho n*ann seeas. Mntiors understand this, but all do not vary tho?o respective dopths to suit tho different soils into whioh the seeds aro placed, and yet a moment's consideration makes it ap paront that a hnavy soil whioh liesclose to the soed admits of slighter covering than does a shifting sandy one. Many interesting experiments havo been made from time to time to test the gnrminat ing powers of soed under different doptliH of oovering. Prom experiments showing tli o germination of wheat at certain depths in tho ground it appears ,hat about three- fourths of the sood planted will eomft np at a depth of three lnchen, and nearly all at from one to two inches. These and similar foots point to the importance of planters ac quainting themselves with the require ments of the seed to bo sown. A7>r Vrirk W or Jil The Mormons.

B it several of thoso educated youths have assured mo that tho luxurious temptations of immorality in Wtambonl ? not "era nor Galata? aro uneqnalod in their rot in considerable experience of Europe. Tho state of society was revealed to mo with rnther startling frrce one day. I called upon a young Mahomo dan "whoeo linglinh eiluoetion has made him one of ourselves in all respects saving that it has not shaken his re ligious faith. lie held in his a 'lis a lovely child of two years old orro, who uoriamod with passion. A small Circas sian boy, fair haired, blue eyed, was trying to distract her, but the apparition of the "Cholobi" was morj successful. The children wore presently dismissed to the harem, and my friend o "served : "I dread to think of that boy's de parture. My baby has tho temper of a little ft end , and nnlv ho ctu ma'i:i?e her." Knowing tho smnll Circaai ian to be a slave, I asked why ho was loaving. "I must fend him to Uob?rt College soon." was the reply, "and get another playfellow for tho child." 'Robert College is the American school where so many middle-elm youths aro being educated ?well edu cated, too, though perhaps tho training is not in all respi cts the host. I said : "The kindness of your peo ple toward their slaves is well known to me, but I did not think it ran so far as to pay their u penses at college." He answered, laughing : "Not as a rule, of course. But my intention is to marry thoso two if Ahmet turns out well. Ho is clever and well disposed. Tne missionaries will keep him honest, I hopo." This wp.s 6uch a novel view ?>? tho relations between bondslave and mis stress, that I discussed tho matter at length several times. My friend told mo that such matches, never rare in Tnrkev, avo new quite nsual. The state of morals is isne.h in Btambonl, that parents do not willingly j take a darghter or son-in-law from families cf their own rank. The? dis- ' trust all tho world.

I asked what she propsod to do if this little slave died boforo marriage. "In that case, \ bh i 1 tho father, "we aro determined to look out a husband in Byria. where there are still honest men." 8'ieh is tho view which a Turk, odn oated in tho real sense, expros.sos of his oountryrnen ? not tho elder, but the new generation, of whom so much is hoped.
