OLE BOSSIE COW.

 

Po‘ ole bossie cow‘s down in do marsh, 4
Down in do marsh where do eol’ winds are
blowin‘; ,
Eb‘ry now an' then when do staur: dies away
Seems as if I hyard ole bossie cow a-lowiu’.

So out by de cabin do I stan’ on de sweep,
An’ listen in de win’ an” dampnin’ welldah,
An‘t ’pears dat I hear ole bossie cow agin
An’ I low dat she say, “Come down in de med-
dah.”

' Den down froo de marsh land trampin‘ along,
Down froo de glooni‘an‘ de night rains a-fallin‘,
Pickin’ my way free de whisperin’ reeds.
Co-boss, co-boss, co-boss a-callin‘.

Den all oh a sudden I come to a. stop,

An’ dar was ole bossie cow so gentle and so
kyind,

An’ I coax up ole brindlehn’ I lead her by de ho’n;
A wee little bossie cow comes follerin’ on behin’,
A wee little bossie comes follerin‘ on behin‘.

THE GOLDEN TABLE.

It was in the summer of 1825, in an out
of the way cottage in a lonely New Eng-
land town, that one might have heard the
following conversation:

“I tell ye what, mum, I’m a-goin’ to git
out 0’ this. I’m tired 0’ hoein’ an’ a-plant-
in’ an’ a-cuttin’ stocks in the fall, an’
a-thrashin’ the flail half the winter. I’m
a-goin’ to Furnaceville to go inter the fac
t’ry where I can be somebody! You’d orter
seen how the fellers from there look! They
was just drest to kill last Sunday, when I
ketched ’em a—stealin’ apples over’n our
back orchard. Shiny caps an’ starched
shirts ev’ry one on ’em! So-me on ’em earn
three an’ four dollars a week ’sides payin’
board, an’ they say they live like kings at
the fact’ry boardiu’ house.”

“Wall, J 0c, you hev spelt. Mebbe there’s
more ’11 yer head than I think, but land 0’
massy, yeou don’t talk’s of there was.
You ’r’s big a feel as yer Uncle Gib. He
never ’mounted to shucks, only set ’round
on the aigc 0’ Little Pond an’ dreamed
0’ how to git that ere gold table, an’ yer
dad an’ I jest dug the meat off’n our bones
to feed you young uns an’ him. To think
yer dad an’ I should go to work an’ hev a
fool in the fambly,” and poor Mum Her-
ring seized a pail of swill which she had
been scalding, and went out of the little
doorway to feed the pigs, whose pen was
but a portion of the back yard fenced off
cornerwisc by a short strip of rail fence.

J osi Herring sat silent. What was it
about this gold table? Surely he had heard
it before. “Mum” was so mad with him
now for wishing to get away from home
that he knew she would tell him no more,
lest it should make him good for nothing,
as Uncle Gib. But if there was a gold
table there might not that be abetter thing
to go in for than to go to the factory?

W'hen “mum” came back from the pig-
pen J osi was missing. She snifiled and
said, “Gone to the fact‘ry; he’s no ’count
anyway.”

But he had gone to Neighbor Sanders to
learn about that table.

~)'.- 1": -;:— -:+ Q * 4(—

At the home of Neighbor Sanders this
anomaly, an ambitious Herring, listened
to a strange tale. .

Ages and ages ago one of the historically
lazy, non-working Licrring family had-
been possessed by a strong passion for
money, piles of money, earned easily and
quickly. A traveling pack man sought a
night’s lodging at Herring’s cabin, disap-
peared mysteriously, or so the neighbors
thought when they were not visited by
him they next morning as they expected.

Not to see the contents of his pack was
,of itself a deep disappointment to these
simple people, who rarely saw a peddler
more frequently than thrice a year, and
surely never indulged in the luxury of
trading with more than one out of that
thrice.

Jake Herring had made a great deal of
talk about the cheating scamp who, he as-
serted, had risen early while the family
were sleeping and gone away without pay-
ing for his supper and bed. Yet the neigh-
bors whispered their doubts to each other.
and in a few months the Herring family
were suspiciously well dressed. They
talked of presents from hitherto unheard
of wealthy relatives. But the neighbors
talked of the missing peddler! They be-
lieved the fine clothes came from his pack,
and wondered if “it would ever come to
light.” ,

Some years afterward one of the more
ambitious farmers of this locality resolved
to rid a certain field of its tangle of bar-
berry bushes. Jake Herring was resting
peacefully in his grave, as far as any knew.
But there were grave doubts in the neigh-
bors’ minds when Neighbor Hand, to his
horror, unearthed from beneatha barberry
bush the skeleton of a man and a long,
leather shoulder strap, such as peddlers
used for carrying their packs.

“Murder will out,” cried all the town,
“and Jake did kill that peddler, and must
have used the strap to drag the body from
his house to the field, where he buried it
under the thorny barberry bush.”

Then followed the tradition that a curse
came then upon the Herrings that all
should remain poor, and wherever they
went a barberry bush should spring up,
even where ' none could ever be made to
grow before, so that the whole world should
know the danger—that a Herring was near.
But as to all crimes 'some atonement is
permitted, or some expiatory achievement
is allowed to wipe out the sin. so in this
case had it in some way become known
that in Little’s pond depths lay a golden
table, and if this could be secured by the

industry and skill of some one, compara-
tively sinless, all the sins of his ancestors
might be atoned and the curse pronounced
upon even the third and fourth generation
might be removed. ’

No wonder that Gib Herring had pon-
dered long how to obtain it, and whenever
he heard of a white bull calf born at some
neighbor’s had tried to purchase it. Tra-
dition said, “Twelve yoke of spotlessly
white oxen attached to a grapnel iron and
driven through the pond by a brave, indus-
trious, pure young man would bring to
light the golden table and lift the curse of
ancestral sins from his own and future
generations.” Were he sinful or indus.
trious only in pretense then he and the
oxen would sink in the, to that day, un-
fathomed depths of the pond; while the
heavy grapnel iron would'(against all laws
of nature) float for seven days as a warn-
ing to all that the sin of hypocrisy would
never be permitted to prosper or advance
one in life. 4 4 ‘ ’

* * * ¥ I ' _ * *

Years were spent in the search, years of
hard labor, first on one farm, and then an-
other. Twenty dollars a month and board
for seven months in the year, and $10 in
the winter for chores and wood chopping
and wood drawing, was no small amount

, of ready cash for a Herring. How careful~

1y he husbanded that money and counted
it over and ever! With wise forethought
he not only bought each pure white calf of
which he could hear, and sent it home to
be pastured on the old meadows hired of
his father, but realizing how great was the
profit in the growth of stock, he bought
every “likely calf” he could secure. As time
rolled on he had a herd much too large for
the few home acres, and was hiring mead-
ows and rugged upland of his old neigh-
bors. How proud he grew as he learned
that he was no longer J osi Herring, but
“Mr. Herring, the greatest cattle raiser in
New England.”

But the day came at last, while he was
still in the prime of life, scarcely 40, that
the longed for twenty-four oxen were his,
twelve yoke of milk white cattle, not a
dark hair upon them. Some were new old,
sedate oxen; these would make good “end
oxen,” leaders and wheelers (if one may be
permitted -a little license of speech), while
the more frisky, youthful steers would be
sandwiched between the more staid along
the line.

Surely this was a team to be proud of,
even without the golden halo that the tra—
ditional treasure gave to their value in his
eyes. Sometimes he felt so rich with all
the profits of his stock raising, accom-
plished on the so called worn out farms of
New England, that he was almost resolved
not to try the chimerical scheme suggested
by the Sanders tradition. But the inborn
superstition and faith in tradition, that
leads the whole world more or less this
way and that, deny it who will, at length
decided Mr. Herring to set a day when the
deed should be accomplished.

The thing most to be dreaded was the
ridicule of his old neighbors if he failed;
this must be provided against. Though
he had never heard the old saying, “If you
would seal your friend’s tongue, first dine
and wine him well,” yet his mother wit
suggested this very thing. He bade all
friends to a meadow banquet to be held
from 11 till 2 on a certain day, and at 3 to
be present as he drove his team through
the fateful pond.

Though the wine was but the best of
cider, yet it served its purpose and washed
away from the hungry and thirsty months
all hyper-critical criticisms-that envy might
have suggested. As they ate the cold tur-
key and munched the fine pies and cake
not one was heard to croak that the table
'would not be found. 4 '

It was with some inner trepidation, cov-
ered well by outward calm, that he snap-
ped his whip and started his team down
the slope toward the pond, while clinking
behind the last yoke of cattle came the
heavy chain with its grappling hook! All
held their breath as Josiah stepped boldly
into the water beside the leaders! A11
watched to see him get beyond his depth,
and some even whispered, “Can he swim
if he finds himself sinking?”

But, 10! On and on he goes, till he has
reached the middle of the pond. As he has
felt the ground leaving his feet, and finds
that though the water grows deeper and
deeper, as he well knows, yet neither he
nor his cattle have sunk an inch lower
than when he first began to realize that he
was being held up by some wonderful
power—as he feels this with increasing
surprise he realizes that though deter-
mined to try the feat he has not in the
past more than half believed in it himself.

He doubts no longer, he sees and feels
this strange support, and knows now that
soon the grapnel will drag on the table.
Slower and slower go the oxen now, as if
dragging a burden! He and the leaders
are coming out upon the bank upon the
other side; one by one the pairs of cattle
step on land—at last Clank, clank, come
the last pair, the sagging chain clanking
behind them; there is a gleam in the water
surely. Ah, no, ’tis but the glint of a
westering sunbeam! But no, there is
something—slowly. slowly coming to land,
not only the table that shall make the
Herrings the Rothschilds of: New England,
but the table which shall remove forever
the curse from their descendants!

The cheers of the assembled neighbors
break upon the stillness of the me ows
at the south, and the hills at the nort and
east catch the sound and cast it back from
one to another like giants playing a rat-
tling ball game. How the hills echo and
echo again, “Long live the Herring fam-

ily!”

“Goodness gracious me!” sounds the
shrill voice of Mum Herring. “Be you
a-goin’ to snore here all day? Here ’tis 10
o’clock an’ you asleep. Why in all nater
didn’t you stay all night over to Granther
Sanderscs? Yer might as well while yer
was abcout it!” .

Oh, dear, and oh, dear, ’twas nothing but
a dream! . .

And yet it proved .more, for there was
something in J osi Herring after all.

When the first-disappointment was over
he felt that even the dream had taught
him much. Why not fill his father’s past-
ures with stock? He actually knew of
farmerswho would kill a calf rather than
feed it until the law would permit them to
sell it to the village butcher, and he- knew
that he could get all the 3-days-old calves
he could pay for at a dollar a head. ‘

His mother‘agreed to help care for the
baby stock, and seen his idea was in work-
ing operation. He went to work with a.
will, and found, as all will do, that “where
there is a will there is a way.” , .

In a few years the herd of young cattle
on the *New England hills’ was not a dream,
but a glad reality. He was now “Mr. Her-
ring,” as in the dream; for industry per-
mits no evil habits, and those worthy in
themselves are not despised because some
dead and gone‘ ancestor has hid his dis-
creditable head beneath the sod.

When the good one’s ancestors has done
will not counteract one’s own folly and
make it respectable .it is worse than folly
to try to discredit the deserving by raking
out of their gram those whose best deed
to the world was their going out!—Keziah
Shelton in SpringfieldHomestead. *

Some time ago a camp meeting was be-
gun at Hollow Rock Springs, owned by an
old fellow named Mayhew. Just after the
religious exercises were started one of the
officers of the association went to old May-
hew and said:

“Look here, old man, there is something
the matter with that spring water.”

“Think so?”

“Yes, I know it.
awful.”

“Wall, I won’t dispute your word.
Man’s got a right to his opinion‘ in this
here neighborhood.”

“But can’t something be done?”

“I don’t know but thar mout.”

"What would you suggest?”

“Wall, I reckon the best thing to do as a.
starter would be to take the dog out.”

“Take the dog out?” the officer gasped.
“What do you mean?”

“Mean you had better pull out the dead
dog, an’ give the water a chance to prove
its innocence.”

“Is it possible that you knew there was
a dog in there?”

“Of course I knowed it when I seed him
in thar.”

“Why didn’t you take him out?”

“Well, it’s old Andy Patterson’s dog, an’
me. an’ Andy ain’t on good terms, you
know. Andy is mighty funny about his
property. I found the dog, the same one,
in my springhouse once, an’ I pulled him
out, an’ pulled him putty hard, too, an’
Andy got mad an’ chunked me round a
good deal, an’ since that I allus let his
property alone.”—-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Tastes bad and smells

Sunday with the Vanderbilts.

The Vanderbilts are all religiously in-
clined, and early on Sunday morning the
children are washed and dressed and sent
to Sunday school. At church time they go
to their father’s pew and sit there with
him and their mother during the service.
In the afternoon they go to Sunday school
again. They are never allowed to use
horses or carriages, nor to go out, except
for a short walk as a matter of exercise.
The day is spent very quietly. They have
an early tea, and in the twilight the chil-
dren gather in the music room, while one
of the ladies plays the piano or organ.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, William K., Elliott
F. Shepard and the ladies of the families
join for an hour or two in song.

The boys sometimes bring out their vio-
lins, the young girls play their harps, and
there is an hour or two of the most de-
licious music that one could imagine. They
sing hymn after hymn, and when the twi-
light fades the little ones are put .to bed,
to get up the next morning with the glow
of. health upon their cheeks, and begin
their week of study and play that shall fit
them to become strong men and women
to administer wisely upon the vast fort-
unes that will soon be theirs.——Ladies’
Home Journal. '

Several Historic Fans. '

A fan belonging to a New York lady was
originally given by Napoleon to Josephine
and then by the empress to Mme. Campau,
from whom it passed to its present owner.
Of other beautiful fans owned by fortu-
nate New York ladies, one painted by De-
taille is a spirited picture of horses taking
the fence at Jerome park; another, by the
painter Berra, minutely depicts a christem
ing scene before a Spanish alcalde, while a
third shows a charming skating scene in
the Bois de Boulogne, painted by Lafitte.
The fan which Mrs. Levi P. Morton car--
ried on the night of the Centennial ball is
an heirloom—exquisitely carved ivory
sticks and charming water color painting
on white silk.—New York World.

Smallpox in Germany.

The law of Germany makes vaccination
compulsory, and provides for re-vaccina-
tion at stated periods. As a result small-
pox is rapidly disappearing, a recent re-
port giving the deaths for the whole em-
pire as only 198 in 1886, 169 in 1887 and 110
in 1888. Of the deaths in 1888 about four-
fifths occurred in parts of the empire im-
mediately bordering countries not protect~
ed by vaccination. Comparing the deaths
of the larger cities with those of cities in
other countries, the death rate from small-
pox was 136 times as great in Austria, 30
times as great in Hungary, 16 times as
great in England, 24 times as great in Bel-
gium and twice as great in Switzerland.—
Arkansaw Traveler.

Food for Neptune.

The quantity of meat thrown overboard
into the Atlantic is very great. Out of 186
cargoes of animals sent to British ports in
one year from Canada, consisting of 61,092
head of cattle, 61,382 sheep and 75 pigs, 658
cattle, 1,170 sheep and 1 pig were Consigned
to the deep during the voyage. 0f the 432
cargoes exported from the United States
to this country, comprising 138,661 head of
cattle, 30,317 sheep and 17 pigs, 1,570 of the
first and 857 of the second class of this
live stock were thrown overboard during
the voyage, thus numbering 4,856 animals
which were pitched into the sea for the
year.—London Letter.

Precocity.

Two scions of a well known Detroit
heuse were recently locked up in a room
by way of punishment. In their eagerness
to escape they adopted heroic measures.
Piling dresses, bonnets and bed clothes in
the middle of the floor, they starteda bon-
fire that brought out the fire department
and gave it plenty of work, too. The little
rascals went to bed that night as warm as

burning room.—lDetroit News.

Handy Lamp Shade.

‘If you have a common lamp on your

UNDER A seufisame LAMP.-

It Needs No Shining Moon W‘hcn Boa!
Bounce In in Question.

There was comething the matter with
the big electric lamp on top of the high
pole at the corner. It kept sputtering and
hissing its discontent. with whatever ailed

 

. it,.and-now and again it shut oi! its rays

entirely, save for a dull red glow that
made ugly shadows beyond the house
stoops and awnings.

“Faith!” exclaimed Mrs. Flanagan,
“phwat bedivilment is it I dunno in the
light th’ night. It’s been aisy enough now
for a week. Phwy don’t it burn or shut
up an’ be done wid it?”

“A little light’s better’n none, Mrs. Flan-
agan, on such a night,” replied Kate,
“when the moon must be wearin’ her eyes
out lukin’ for the earth, the clouds be so
heavy.”

“Ay, ay,” assented the elder woman,
“that’s like ye; yous’d be flndin’ some good
in it if bot’ the sun an’ the moon should
get lost altogether an’ niver show us their
faces again, so ye would.”

Kate laughed and looked tenderly down
at the wee face resting on her am. They
were sitting on the steps getting what cool
their might be in the late hours of the

evening. The narrow street lined with up- i

turned drays and trucks and scattered over
with refuse was silent save for the low
rumbling of the machines in the bakery
opposite, where white capped Germans
were making bread for the city.

“It’s a hard time ye’re havin’ since the
mother died, Kate,” said Mrs. Flanagan,
dropping the bantering tone with which
she had scored the sputtering lamp.

“Hard ye may say, Mrs. Flanagan,” re-
sponded Kate, with trembling lip. “but
sure it’s much harder for the children to
be without her when they need a mother
most,” and she rose to put the baby in bed,
hoping that sleep had become no sound
that the hot, close air of the tenement
would not again rouse her before morning.

“Ay, ay,” muttered Mrs. Flanagan, “al-
ways a workin' an’ thinkin’ for somebody
else, an’ divil a bit of comfort to be takin’
for herself,” and she, too, rose to seek the
black room up three flights of stairs where
she slept.

When Kate came down a few minutes
later and found the steps deserted she sat
with her face in her hands, trying to ban-
ish her thoughts in listening to the dull
sounds from the bakery. Presently the
trap door to the stairs leading down to the
underground workshop opened, and a
young man with a white apron and flour-
stained clothes peered anxiously across the
street. He crossed over and sat below
Kate on the steps.

“It vas oful varn- zu nacht, Katie,” he
said, laying his cap beside him.

“Yes, Karl,” she replied; “it must be
terrible in there by the ovens.”

“So it vas,” assented Karl, “but of doc I
tink not. I vas tinkin’ of you, Katie.”

“Me?” she exclaimed in mock derision;
“faith, haven’t ye enough to think of with
yourself, what with your dough and your
yeast and your long shovels for reaching
after the bread?”

“Nein, Katie!” responded Karl, with the
equanimity of a man whose mind is set
upon a definite policy; “no; dere’s some-
ting more, more as all dot. It vas you,
Katie, all of it. You know me, Katie,a
goot many years, already. Vat you tinks?”

The lamp at the corner sputtered furi-
ouily, shook its flame angrily and went
on .

“Karl,” began Kate tremulously, as she
rose to her feet.

“Yah, Katie, I lofe you a long time al—
ready. I haf my pay to-night raiset. I
tink you lofe me, Katie; better as dot, I
know it!”

Karl had risen and they stood close to
gether. The lamp at the corner drowned
in a vigorous hiss whatever happened be-
tween Kate and Karl’s lips, and when in
the next instant the street was aglow with
light a young man was plodding across the
way to look after his dough and a young
woman was making her way upstairs with
a li hter heart than she had ever known.

The Traditional Bootblack Vanishing.

One of the features of life in New York
city that is rapidly disappearing, if not al-
ready practically extinct, is the grimy little
bootblack of former times. This ragged
waif,who has furnished the theme for so
many songs and stories, comic and pa.
thetic, is a rare figure on the streets of New
York nowadays. Like so many .other
picturesque things of the past he has been
sWept away by the on rolling wave of civ-
ilization. He is one of the innumerable
victims of the prevailing tendency to trusts
and “combines.” His little nail studded
box, slung over the shoulder by a strap,
with its contents of blacking box, two or
three well worn brushes, and the bit of
carpet to kneel on, is fast becominga mem-
ory only.

It has been succeeded by the chair
perched on a high goods box, with the soft
cushion for the customer and the iron
foot rests, that occupy nearly every corner
down town. A lusty Italian presides over
the chair and is the commonplace successor
of the bootblack of old times. Thelatter
was accustomed to wander over the city,
free as the air, catchinga “shine” wherever
he found one—New York Tribune.

 

' Expensive "Moving.” ,
Adriver told 'of one trip he 'took that

. lasiteditwoweeks, and yet‘the town from

which the goods were moved was not half
as far away as Bridgeport. Conn. The
house in question had been owned by a
very wealthy man, a collector of various
costly articles, from coins to Sevres vases.
After his death the goods were sold in this
city, and the driver Who told theater-y had
charge of the moving. There were several
loads, but the main expense came'in the
packing. Most of the furniture had to be
carefully burlapped, and nearly all the ob-
jects in the‘ collection had to be packed
separately and with the utmost care. The
vans came to New York by highway, and
the bill for moving was upward of 8700.
There was no swindle about it. The men
employed to pack were expertsrand they
earned $4 a day.'-—New Yerk Sun.

What are lbey‘l’,’ There is a‘enew depar-
ture in the treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by notcdspecialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
‘spccial physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tained and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility.

This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the ill efl’ccts, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
ed more stomachs than alcohol. A cir-
cular describing these new remedies is

postage by Hospital Remedy Company,
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.
