John Allday and Joseph Freeth had . a quarrel when they were at school together, and some of their more ' wicked play mates tided liai-d to get up a balttls between them.r All day was ready enough to pull off his jacket, but Freeth would not fight Their teacher heard of the affair, so he took him to task. ' Tell me John, " said he, "why you want 'to fight with Freeth-" ' ; " Because, . sir, " . replied Allday, "the boys willcall me a coward if I refuse. " ' u Oh! Oh!" said the teacher, "and so you had rather do wrong than, be called a coward: John, I am asham ed of you. " . . : The teacher next qestioned Freeth.

The ': text last Sunday morning was, 1 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with ail malice : and be' kind to one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiveiii you. Eph. iv: 31, 32. The teacher commended Joseph Freeth for the prudent answer he had given, and hopen he would be able always to act I upon his princi ples. "In my opinion," said 4ie, you have shown more true courage in declining to light, than you would have done m fignting Aviiii Allday, "even had you won the victory. " About a week' after the quarrel which bad taken place, the cottage of poor old Margery ; Jthiidns by soinS accident or other, took tire. Mar gery made her - escape, and her daughter was absent froin home, bat an infant grandaglitr. was sleeping in a little cot up stairs, while the flames were rising to the stairs. At this time, there were present several of the schoolTboys, and bne of them boldly dashed tnrough the lire and smoke, made his way up the narrow staircase, dropped tue child through the window, into the arms of a man who stood ready to ! receive itj- and then made his own escape to the Fground. 1 But who was the bov who' thus showed his bravery 'and ' saved ! the life of avchildT wasit the brave I All- j-4ay, -who was so forward .to , fighter ? JNo, it was Josepn reeth, he who by many had been ' ' called a J coward This kind and daring act of 'his raia ed him in the minds of , all, and, no one any lorger called his courage in question " ''"'" ' - iThe following day some of the school-boys went to bathe .in the iri ver, and , Allday, , and Freeth were among them, Allday, who could not swim; soon ' 'got out of his depths and would no doubt have drowned, ha not Freeth, who was a good swim mer, , plunged headlong . from the bank to his rescue. Siezing hold of the ann of his drowning companion,, he dragged him to land. . . , If the affair of the fire had shown the calm courage of Josepk Freeth, this of the water went still further to convince the minds of his play mates.-. - . . . , .. , On the return of Joseph Freeth id the school-room,, all the boys receiv ed him -with upraised hands: Iiet the conduct of Joseph Freeth, " said the teacher, when a short time af ter speaking to the boys, be an' ex ample to you, so that yon may be able .to distinguish between idle boasting and true courage. Joseph, Freeth has proved himself worthy, by going through lire and through water for the benefit of others lie member that he who dares to do what is right, though it draws down upon him an ill name, is truely cour ageous ; while he who is afraid to pursue an uprigt coui-stXlest those around should mock thim, must be in heart a coward. 2Jie Children's J? r tend. ' i Kant una Hie Kobbers. 1 John Kant was Professor and Doctor of Divinity:, at Cracow. He was a pious man, with a spirit; pecu liarly gentle and guileless, and . he at times, would have preferred to suf fer injustice rather than exercise it. For many years he had conscien tiously followed his duties as spiritu al teacher of the place to Which he bad been appoin ted by God. ' ; His head was covered with the snows of age, when he was seized with an ar dent desire to revisit the scenes of his youth in . his native country, bilesia. ,5 The journey appeared fraught with peril to one at his ad vanced age; but he set his affairs in order, and started on his way, cbm inending himself to the care of GocL: He rode slowly along, attired in his black robe, with long beard and hair, according to the fashion of the time. Then he pursued his way through the gloomy woods of Poland, which scarcely a sunbeam could pierce ; but there was a light in his soul, for God's . Spirit irritated it. One evening, as he was thus j our neying along,, holding communion with God, and taking no heed of ob, jects beside him, on reaching an opening in the thick forest, a tramp ing noise was suddenly heard, and he was instantly ' surrounded ' by figures, some on horseback and some ou foot. Knives and swords gliter- ed in the moonlight,' and the" piousi man suw iuuv wua u' me mercy of a band of robbers. Scarcely con scions of what passed,Jie alighted from his horse ; undoared his pro perty to the gangK He gave them a poi se filled witn silver coins, un clasped the chain from his neck, took the gold laco from his cap, drew a ling from ,his finger, and took from his pocket his book of prayer, which was clasped with' silver. Not till fie bad yielded all he possesed, and seen his horse led away, did Kant inter cede for his life, i ; i : H " Have you given us all!" cried the - robber chief threateningly;- f Have you no more money -t In his alaiin and -tcrroAV.the trem bling doctor , answered that he vhad given them every coin, in his posses sion. ; and on receiving this ass or&nce, he was allowed to ; proceed on his joumeyi , ;r' '. (Quickly he hastened onward, - re joicing at his 0scape, when' sddden- iv his nand 1 felt something 'iiard ; in I tae hem 16V his robe. It was his gold, which 'having' 1 been' stitched within the lining ol his -r dress, had thus escaped discovery. I . The good man, in ins alarm, had forgo tten . the secret store. His heart, , therefore, ! again, beat with joy, for. money wouiu pear, nun nome io nis irienas j and kindred ; and hie saw rest and shelter ' in prospect, , instead of a long ''andv;paul;derins:: with' , me .necessity oa ueggiiig nis way. But Ins conscience was a pecnliarly I tender one, and he suddenly stop ped to listen" to its .rbice. . Itvcried in disturbed tones : ; -Tell nota he ! tell not a-lie!" Thesfe words burned in his hearl ' Joyi - kindred, home; all iwere forgpttenf .Some: writers on mpral.philosophy have held that promises macte under such circum stances are not binding, and few men certainly irouid have been Ironbled with such; scniples on the occasion. But Kant ; did not stop to reason.' He hastily retraced his 'steps? and enterinjg into r the midst . of , the . rob bers,. . who i . were still . in : the same place, said meekly : : - "I have told you what is not the truth; but it was unintentional fear and anxiety ..confused me j therefore, pardon me." " ; 'i With these words,' he held forth ther glittering gold;' bn t to his sur prise, not one of the robbers would take, it ! . A strange felling was at work iri their hearts. They could not laugh at this pipus man. f Thou shalt, not steal," said a voice within them. All . were deeply moved. Then,1 is 1 if seized by a sudden im pulse, one went f and f brought back his purse j anothen restored the book of prayer, while still another led his horse toward hmi, arid helped him to remount it. ; Then they unitedly en treated his blessing; and, solemnly giving it, the good old man continu ed his way, lifting ; tip his 1 heart in gratitude to God, who brought him in safety to the end of his journey. A ngel of Peace. The Usos of Old Ran. Woolen rags, as they come in from the, pedlars, comprise ever, variety of fabric that it is possibfe to produce from wool, from a coarse and jiarsli carpet to the finest and softest product of the loom.; These ure piled up in huge heaps upori the warehuse floor, and women and gi rls, whose wages average from four to" five dollai-s a weekattack them on all sides and " sort'? tliem into no les. than ten grades, each of which has a special use and an establish ed value. ..The greater, part ot these i are manufactured into " shoddjs" and, as this is a word concerning which a general mis apprehension exists, if may be welt to devote a paragraph to its consideration. , Shoddy is, perhaps, the best abused material in1 use. So far from being a - mere snam and a por substitute forwxl,-it is, in reality, a valuable - material, and enters, in certain proportions, into the composition ; of uearly - all cloth. Tt is not, as is generally supposed, woolen rags'ground in to a powder and worked into the cloth to give it weight, but wool fibre, combed out' of wool fabrics by a peculiar process, and, mixed with new woor when the latter ;s carded, is spun with it and final ly becomes a component part of the cNh.1 ! - --f -1 Tliue, by mixing a dud propor tion of flue' grade of shoddy or wool fibre with new wool of a coarse gnide a substantial, 'yet soft and handsome iatirie, can be produced and sold at a moderate pi ice While the same thing, with tine high cost woo! m in the place of the much reviled ! shoddy, won ld cost .fur more and possess but lit tle more value so far na wear and appearance are concerned. Cotton unci linen rags are scrN cnl with equal care. They are tlie ; principal source of paper making material; and are in eon. stant demand. -Used alone, they1 make the highest grade of paper while in "varying" proportions of paper stock, they produce the va rious grades of papr to be fouud in the market.

We have a personal interest in horse flesh. x' We have .furnished feetl for them, and ; attended to tii eir wants ipersonally, and claim I that we know something about them. ' This is what we have foundthat with proper care and regularity in feeding and proper preparation of the food, nearly ou e h a 1 f i n ay be aved . O n 1 i n a rily, it rieqn ires fifteen pounds of grain, and from 15 to 20 pounds of good hay, or its equivalent in other long feed to keep a horse weighing one, thousand pounds in tlirifty! condition. It', however, the long feed is cut lip tine ami the ffrain ground and mixed with it, very little over half this amount will be equally efficacious in keep ing the horse in condition;' this we know from actual experiment. We have experimented with dif ferent kinds of provemler, and be lieve that; properly,, cured com stalks vith the fodder on, prepar ed as above, is far the cheapest food obtainable in Ka.-stern Vir ginia, : As a grain food, we have found a inixtu're of two parts wheat-straw, and one of corn meal, economical and excellent every way. Oat meal, wlich ob tainable, is Ood, Next to grind ing the following method of pre pa rdig oats, 1 i.as proven i iu st s iLsfactory wilh us. T lie food for morning is prepared at niht, by pouring suilicient hot water over i r to co ver it in - the vessel ; then "set in a warm place until morn ing.' When this tis ted, prepare the mess' for : ,iiight, in the sume way. We never feed our horses more than twice a day in winter but give them a large feed of pro vender at night, and more grain in the morning. In the summer we feed and allow an hour or two rest a t noo n . , We- 1 i ke a grea t deal of brnshinsc, and verv little currying at any time, especially iii the winterly Except for the re moval of hard dirt, we would never use a curry comb. A stiff brush is much better. We don't believe blanketing horses - except when they are stoppf in the cold after being heated; into perspra tion. A blanket thrown over them then to prevent their cool ing off too suddenly is an ad van tage. 'vv r ..;.-. ; Stables should be comfortable, light and free from cold draughts. The ceiling should be at least eight teet h igh, and the ventila tion should, always be at . the top, andifpissible at the end farthest from the horses. If the inside is lime-washed, it should not be l(eft perfectly white as the glare injures the eye. A little" lamp black will brin; down the color to a ; 8olter shade, though M must be confessed that dead white huks neater. Witli regard to labor. we treneually manage to keep our team inoviiii; eiht or ten hours a i day, aud to keep them fat and heultby (barring the epizootic.) We never work in the rain or falling snow, if we can avoid it. We live among the larniers are onefof them ; ioor in coriimmi with the land holders of the South, And we know w hereof we affirm when we say, the reason ther are so many f poor liorses ainl iniiles, not lor want of ' sii ffieleu t lootl ; but because the tooil isgivn in a slovenly manner, and the horses are insufficiently sheltered ; com pel led fre quent ly to stand half kiice decpi in a freezing mass of tilth in an open stable, exposed to the the could winds of winter through the long cheerless days and nights of the entire season. S it is because the owners fail to give the proper attention to the comfort of the animals committed to their care, that so many valua ble animals die froni V poverty everv winter and snrinr. & l $ farmer. 44 How to induce a Lazy Scholar to Learn UH Lenson. Not by railing at him. Ihave not much faitlnriicotding on anV subject, and certainlyj never nait1 an idle scholar j made liidustrioua hi- ejillim him hard names am heaping abuse on Ins head. Ion may thereby make him sullen, of yon may drive him froni school but 5'ou will not make him love study. " ' ; There is nothing thjrt children need so much as encouragement One half the failures in school come from the idea which the child has got, that ho cannot do . the thing required. Perhaps he has attempted jit once, and his awkwardness has been laughed at. Perhaps he is slow of speech. He has not the natural glibnes of tongue which some of the other children have, and he is driven in to silence, and then is discouraged altogether, because he thinka there is no usejof his trying. A Government contractor who has beeiiiargely concerned in the pur- ' chase and training of mules in formed me once' that the sullex! stubbomess of that animal, which is so proverbial as to have given a new word to the dictionary, i really a mistake in bur estimation of the animal's character; that the mulishhessjof the mule is only his timidity and Want of confi dence in himself; that it you treat him with kindness, awaken in him confidence in yourself, try him first on such things he sees , that he can do, and thus gradually educate him to self confidence, you will find him in the end mor tractable and j doeile than even the horse.4 But he must have en couragements He is by natuw timid auu ditlident. f Much of the! Bocalled 4 mulish ness of children is only timiditjr driven into sullenness. What is needed in suchj cases is not the sickening flattery in which some teachers indulge, but ingenuity in creating in tlio childs mind ft : spirit ,of hopefulness, a convio tionthathe as well as the others can do something. There is a fine thought oh this subject in: Virsril. lie is describing the glovr fearnest eutliusiasni with which the Carthaginians,, under Queen1 Dtdo, are building , the -walls of r their new city, j Under the in flu enccof this hopeful spirit all ths diiiicultie in their way seem to vanish ; they acliieve what is ?t- , parcntly . impossible, because it seeiii possi bl e t them. They are able because they tseem to tliain selves to be able; they couljd do it be because they thoitjM they could do it. Making a child think he can master a task is half the battle. Dr. John S.
