THE OLD CHALK-PIT.

A Tale of Mouth Down. South Down, though charmingly situated in one of the eastern counties of England, is not a place of general resort. Here and there a cottage or two may be found, making a pleasing variety in a landscape rich in nature’s loveliness; but, as our narrative has only to do with that part of South Down in the immediate vicinity of the chalkpits, we will briefly introduce the reader to Adam Rawley and his wife, an old couple occupying one of the little dwellings near to this Ideality. Adam spent most of his days in carting away mud and rubbish from the roadside, and at other, times Be would work in the pits*; earning enough to keep himself and his wife in comfortable circumstances. These old people lived on from day to day, from season to season, without .change in their mode of life. They were quiet and orderly, causing neither trouble nor annoyance to their neighbors; but for all this they were no favorites. The fact is, Deborah Rawley and her husband lived only to - please themselves. Possessed of every comfort—for, besides the bread winner’s earnings, they had a little income of eight shillings a week coming in regularly—and, engrossed in their own concerns, they never troubled themselves about being neighborly; thus much of the sunshine of life was unknown to them through the unapproachableness of their own characters. They were certainly a striking contrast to the rest of the inhabitants of Lime Cottages, as the collection of little dwellings was called—among whom there was a feeling of friendliness, and ipany helpful deeds made life's day brighter to many But the Rawleys were strangers to acts of and so long as no misfortunes happened to themselves they never thought of relieving the ills of other folks. Mrs. Figgins, their next door neighbor, whose husband was down with brain fever, and required constant watching day and night, had three of her children laid up at the same time with inflammation of the lungs; yet, in’her domestic difficulties she never ventured on asking aid from Mrs. Rawley; but Mrs. Keen, a bony matron, with half-a-dozen little ones of her own, and engaged nearly every hour of the day in ministering to their wants, proffered the necessary help, even before it was solicited. The whole community, with the exception of old Deborah and her husband, vied with one another in helping poor Mrs. Figgins through her trouble. Not even a kind inquiry as to how the invalids were progressing passed the old couple’s lips; and as to a few of the new-laid eggs that Mrs. Rawley’s hens supplied ner with so plentifully finding their way into their sick neighbor’s house, such a thing was never thought of. Sooner than give them away they were allowed to ornament the shelves in the little parlor till they became too bad to be eaten by anyone. The faculty for performing kindnesses certainly did not belong to these old people. All their lives they had, closed their hearts to works of benevolence, and now, in their declining years, no gentle promptings from earth or from Heaven seemed to arouse them to deeds of love. Once only an angel’s whisper reached Adam Rawley, making him for a moment seem troubled and uneasy; but the .bright spark, Which, haa he allowed it to kindle, would have filled his rugged countenance with sunshine, was quenched as he muttered: “What is it to us if they do. want new-laid eggs? Let them of their own and they’ll get some.” So the communication which he had overheard Mrs. Figgins make to a friend concerning the requirements of her sick family was blotted from his mind, as he convinced himself that it was not needful to bother himself with other people’s troubles. Nevertheless, he repeated what he .had overheard to his Wife, and as a woman’s influence in whatever rank of life is powerful, Mrs. Rawley’s reply, had-ft tjeen in favor of achafi table action, might have done mueh toward its accomplishment, instead of which her verdict, “ Let them get eggs for themselves if they want them, ’ strengthened her husband in his opinion that the matter was no concern of theirs. So, while others with far scantier means, deprived themselves of even little necessaries in order to relieve the pressing wants of Mrs. Figgins’ household, this couple, who, in comparison, could have given of their abundance, shut their eyes and ean to their neigh-

bors* necessities, though • more than one of the invalids might have been making rapid prbgroHH toward convalescence, but fpr the lack of proper nourishment. .*'*• The Rawleys Were not in Ignorafioe as to the feeling of disfavor with which their fellow cottagers regarded them but what cared they? J Possessed of all they required, able to wait on themselves, endowed with good health, they solicited favors of no one, and with blinded eyes, and well-nigh unthankful hearts, they lived for themsclxasjgiljMMfe,* One afternoon, Adstn Rawley had just partaken of a very comfortable tea, which his wife had prepared for him. Po&r Mr® Figgfils’tfphle'* and anxious face, which he caught sight of as she returned from her scanty marketing, had by no means disturbed his enjoyment of it, and with the same unmindfulness regarding, the wants of others he prepared to set*’out for his work again. “ You’ll about have time to shell the peas and get the supper on afore I’m back,” were his parting words to his helpmeet, and with no thought beyond the present the speaker started. The following quarter of an hour was passed in retching the horse and cart from Farmer Kirby’s. Then Adam filled Ms cart with the collection of rubbish, and leading old Derry by the bridle, proceeded leisurely in the direction of the chalk-pits. Steadily and quietly the willing animal plodded on, past the lime cottages, down the curve of the road, to within a few feet of the deep hollow in which the load he was carrying was to be deposited.

But suddenly aloud “Whoa!” accompanied by a tug at the reins, announced that something was wrong; hut this failed to rectify matters, for the horse, suddenly checked at the moment of stepping, was unable to recover his footing, and, after one or two ineffectual attempts, his knees doubled under him and down he went. Then began a struggling and scuffling, as Adam exerted all his strength to get/Derryto his feet; but the ground, which was composed of loose sand, was unfavorable for this purpose, and the. horse’s struggles brought him nearer to the nit’s* edge. In bewildered dismay the old man gazed affrighted around, as he endeavored to pull the animal back. In vain he shouted and called for help, No living creature was visible, and no sdund broke the stillness as his agonized tones died away without response. “She’ll be over as sure as fate— and drag me in,” he gasped, frantically, feeling his strength failing with each plunge pf the horse. While large beads of perspiration stood pn his intensely puckered face, his thoughts flew to old Deborah, who was sitting in her kitchen then just happening to her husband within p short distance.frojn her dwellHaving finished, she rose from her seat as some one hastily passed her open door, and, in another moment, she heard Mrs. Figgins 1 eldest girl'e» plaining something to her mother. ‘ The tones were hurried and the sounds confused; and she might have paid little heed to them had not her own name fallen, with familiar distinctness, on her ears. . “What have they got to talk about me for?” she murmured, somewhat gruffly, as, proceeding to the door, she was going to close it; out her attention was arrested by what appeared to be the outpouring of all her neighbors as though, moved by One mind, they rushed in the direction of the chalk-pit. Mrs. Figgins alone stood stationary, and her countenance paled when she saw the look of fear that overspread old Deborah’s face as she inquired: “What’s thife, matter —what’s they all gone down there for?” “Oh, Mrs. Rawley, don’t be frightened; the horse has fallen down and your husband cannot get hind up again —and we—” Her listener stayed to hear no more; with a wild scream she rqn off, and reached the scene of the aceident just as, with air awful crash, the horse vanished over the pit’s mouth, dragging along with him old Adam. The half-howl, half-shriek, which broke from his wife’s lips long rang in the ears of those who heard it. “My Adam! my Adam! oh, let me get to him!” and, had it not been for kind but vigorous arms, the poor creature would have thrown herself into the pit in her agony. “Nay, stay ye here; he’ll be all right.” But as the soothing words were spokeq. .the speakers looked around with bewildered faces as they saw no possible way of making good their promise, for to use their owu expression, “ the men” were all away. Not a man was within call; the cottages were peopled by women and children at this hour of the evening, the bread-winners being away in the fields. “If he’s alive now, he’ll be kicked to death before he can be got out,” wailed Deborah, as the horse gave a restless plunge, and once more she made desperate efforts to reach her husband. All unkind behaviors and past disagreeableness were forgotten by the poor WOtnan’s neighbors as they wound their arms strongly about her, striving by word and deed to moderate her anguish. “Oh, if the men would only come!” and springing on a high railing, Mrs. Keen—who had already sent her children screaming off in Ml directions in search of them —looking wildly toward the fields, as she waved her handkerchief high abote her head and shouted frantically for help.

How slowly those moments of never-to-be-forgotten agony crept by. as, bending over the pit’s edge. Mrs. Rawley listened for any sign or sound to denote that her husband was living; but only the plunging of the hprse was to be heard, and, in the violences! Ker sorrow, the distressed woman might have broken from her 'compSMofts jswyfeiS? am Keen been followed by an assertion which sent a thrill of hope through every heart.* J ■" * v *l* ■ - up, Mrs. Rawley! ‘We’lFsoon have him out now!” she exclaimed.. bad still continued to wave het handkerchief. , Ere many seconds had passed half a dozen swarthy meh—their faces 'illumined with the rays of the setting sunbounded over the hedge and rail to the scene of peril. . .. / Their brawny hands and arms were soon earnestly engaged in the work of rescue; and while the women comforted old Deborah, her husband was got out of bis very dangerous position. He made no movement as they bore hhn to the surfitee, and then to his cottage, where was found that life was

<QOt exthrat. *He wre ftmrinlly -braised and shaken, however, and was some weei|s in recovering his usual health. This incident wrought an entire eb|»ge in the <rtd couple. ; Whetiwr ths stteiniftn and sympathy of their neigh-, Bon had anything to do with it cannot be said; but it is very certain that few are proof against kind words and loving deeds; sneers and reproaches may harden; but who-oan resist the sunshine, of love? Happily the Rawleys’ hearts were touched by the friendly solicitude shown them, and they evinced their gratitude in many ways. Selfishness gavff place to generosity, and perhaps the final recovery of Mrs. Figgins’ inih sente measure, due to the frequent Supply of new-laid eggs which Mrs. Rawley’s hens seemed to take as much delight in laying for other people as for their own mistress. Be that as it may, hearts which had been long closed to the sufferings around them were now awakened to the honest realization of life’s duties, their earnest attention to which enriched them With a higher appreciation of life’s true sweetness and the secret of alj happiness.— British Workman.

Experiences of a Harvard Student Waiter.

I have just had a talk with a Harvard student Who is acting as a servant —he frankly names himself as such—this season at one of the inns. I had noticed him at the table, having begn struck by his well-bred, superior manner, and after dinner engaged him ip conversation. Any one would have known that he was not in the place to, which was naturally accredited, that he was, to use that much misunderstood and abused term, a gentleman. It is so rare to see a gentleman—we mention the title in the capacity of a servant—that I asked him a number of questions, not from idle curiosity, but from genuine interest. He appreciated my motives and talked freely. He lost his fhther six years ago, and at a time wheitit was unfortunate for the family Spjiy, which came to nothing in the ament beyond*a very small competency for his mother. He was resolved to be educated; his father had been a Harvard man, and so had two. of his brothers, his sepiors, both dead. * He had no money, out he was determined to make his way. He taught for three

years in a country school at a very small salary, but he saved every penpy, and was enabled to enter.oollege. There he is in the habit of coaching other boys, and by doing everything that comes in his way he is enabled to get money enough to meet his expense® His class-books are expensive, and though he could borrow enough to render Mm easy, he has a horror of being in debt. Having learned that he could earn S2O dollar or so a month by being a waitbr, he applied for and procurecLa 'situation. He could make twice as. much by receiving gratuities, blit these he invariably declined, adding, with a irony: “When a gentleman turns servant, he must, 1 suppose, draw the line somewhere.” t. Having asked him if he were not treated rudely,. py persons whomhe served, he answered: “Oh,‘yes, frequently. But that is to be expected. I do not look to be treated differently from any other servant. When I choose to fill a servant’s place I have no right to expect exceptional treatment I confess I am mortified, deeply wounded, sometimes, but I smother my feelings and return courtesy for clownishness. People are not rude from malice, but from lack of reflection; and you can’t make reflection general, you know. I have had more than one man apologize to me for hasty temper, and I am, on the whole, surprised to see with how much consideration I meet. I have concluded that the best way to secure the treatment a gentleman deserves—you will pardon my frequent use ftf the word, for which no other is a substi.tute—is to be a gentiemim oneself, ttn-' ,der any* and all circumstances.” That Harvard youth, unless I gravely err, will amount to something. If any number of the men he waits on were his equals in character, self-discipline 'and independence.'. I, should have inereased respect for thehuman family.— White. Mountain Cor. Chicago Times.

Farming and Education.

Whatever croakers may say, the rolling years are slowly but' surely bringing forth progress in many essential departments of human interest. As experience utters its unanswerable voice, error grows less confident and gradually disappears; while the right and the best win popularity and secure the approval and patronage of the intelligent and influential. It i»but a few years since the opinion prevailed in a large part of. our country, that agriculture required but little-information and mental training for its successful conduct; that an educated man ought not to waste his talents in so plain and htfmble a calling; and that it was compromising to personal dignity for one to identify himself with the common duties of the tiller of the soil.* Nowit is clear that there is a very great demand for brain as well as muscle in performing the duties of the farm. t The difficulty is found to be in the want of sound judgment, of fertile minds as well as acres; of power to promptly and economically utilize discoveries and improvements. There is now a general desire in the highest educated circles to devise the best methods for preparing our young men for the calling that supports all other callings. Hence our agricultural, colleges. While the problem is hard to solve, "it is evident that the extraordinary attention to the higher departments of instruction in industrial pursuits Jts rapidly strengthening, enlarging and enriching the minds of those who are entering the occupation of the farmer. The farmer has long been working for the world unappreciated; but now the world is turning to most earnest work for the farmer. So far from the educated man feeling himself Above the grand old calling, he is now, in multitudes of instances, toiling with his mighty talents jo give wcccss to those who pursue It is highly complimentary to farming that, while tew farmers leave their plain work for complete or continued devotion to any one of the so-called learned professions, there are many, very many, of those who profess to be devotees of one of those professions, who gladly and persistently add the pleasure and security of farming to their special work. It is not merely Anglo-Saxon love of land; it is an intuitive conviction' of what is the most trps|wqrthy,of merely human possessions. i'armlngT elevated; directed and constantly improved by advancing knowledge is, in a large degree, the hope of the continued prosperity and progress of our country.— Sural New Yorker.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Gows deprived of a sufficient supply of water fan In milk and flesh, ana when they are allowed to fail, it is almost impossible to bring them back to their proper yield of milk and condition of fleah, at least without extra expense and trouble.— Exchange. —We have thought, and still think, that farmers, in the West particularly, are too neglectful of the little things which contribute so much to the pleasure and comforts of themselves. and families. Farmers* lives, it is proverbially said, are not easy ones; that work is their portion, homespun clothing and coarse fare their compensation. However true this condition of things may be. or has been in the past, we are satisfied that the fanner himself, not his occupation or his farm. is. dr will be hereafter to blame. Burßngion Hawk-Eye. " '

' —Weeds are now ripening their seeds, and, if neglected, will stock the ground for many years in the future. “ One year’s seeding makes nine years’ weeding,” if not more. Weeds cut now should be.burned so as to destroy the seeds. Shrubby plants in pastures, fence-rows and other places should be cut down this month. Briers which have thrown up bearing shoots for the next year will generally be killed- outright by mowing this month, the roots, having no means of sustenance, and being deprived of a supply of -air through these shoots, will die before long and give no more trouble. This is the season, too, for mowing off the coarse herbage of swamp meadows. By scattering grass-seed—timothy .or red-top is suitable for such moist ground—and repeatedly cutting the Karse grass, the better herbage will got in in time.— N. Y. Sun. m —To pickle grapes, take grapes fresh from vines, piok them from the stems without breaking; then put them in your jar; for seven pounds of grapes take one quart vinegar, three pounds sugar, one tablespoonful whole cloves and the same of cinnamon bark; boil alh together a few minutes; then let it cool until you can bear your finger in it, pour over your grapes, turn a plate over them, sot them in a cool cellar, and they are done. Do not cook the grapes, nor heat the pickle over; if properly prepared will keep 3—year, and be as plump and fresh, as when picked from the vines. Do not disturb them for a couple .of weeks, and then when you taste them you will be paid for all the pains you have taken with them. These are of more value than all the . strengthening bitters, wines' of appetizers. The pickle is splendid for mince or vinegar pies.— Inter-Ocean. —lt has become a common saying that American farmers waste enough to support a family in Europe. This is tip a certain extent true, but, thanksto a fertile soil, the most of them manage to'fite tolerably well: ‘ They db not deny themselves tobacco, cigars, beer, or other luxuries, even ii the children have to stay at home from school or else go barefooted. ‘This carelessness in farming is shown by W-’ lowing grain to stand in shock for two months after it has been cut, because the farmer is too lazy to stack it. Last week we saw thousands of acres of oats and wheat still out Some of the recently thrashed grain was shown us by a* grain-buyer, who berated the farmers roundly for leaving standing in the field, exposed to the weather, a crop that had cost so much trouble to raise. “ Yes,” said he, “ they’ll do the same with their corn next fall, and half of it will be lost” The of oats in question he offered sixteen cents for, because they would go rejected. Twenty cents was the price of good, bright white and the farmer actually pretended to believe that the grain-buyer was trying to cheat him on the trade. No argument could convince him that the bright oats were any better. They may not have been better for feeding purposes, but the inspector judged them by their appearance and condition. Why men will raise a crop,, and then lose a quarter of their profit by such wastefulness, is more than we are able to answer. English or German farmers take no chances on such things, but .go on and complete their work, and do not stop until it is fully completed. Their stacks are well put up, and may stand for months without injury. The example of foreigners in this respect Is one to be imitated. — "Rural'' in Chicago Tribune.

Water and Food for Horses.

Horses and cattle normally require, in round numbers, four pounds of water for each pound of dry substance in the food, while sheep require but about two pounds, or half as much. This estimate, the.result of many careful experiments, includes the water contained in the food as well as that in the drink. The amount of water needed by pigs has not, I think, been accurately determined. With horses we find a different digestive arrangement—onCthat changes the conditions which were suitable for ruminants to a very important extent. Horses have.but one stomach, and that relatively small; it contains, when fully distended, but fifteen to sixteen quarts, and in this condition is too full for the performance of its functions. Usually, when digesting the food, the horse’s stomach does not contain more than ten quarts, and as more food is eaten, some ol the contents pass onward - into the intestines to make room for it In eating a full feed of hay the stomach is filled two or three times, so the part first eaten can remain but a short time tor digestion. Now, here is a point of great importance; the albuminoids of the food are digested in the stomach, and a stomachful of grain contains four to six times as much of these as a stomachful of hay; consequently, for a sufficient quantity of gastric juipe to be mixed with the grain and produce its full effect requires a much longer time than with hay. If, then, we feed oats corn, and immediately afterward hay, we may be very certain that the Kain will be forced from the stomach fore it is perfectly digested; but if we feed the hay first and then, the grain, it is not difficult to understand that the latter can remain in the stomach a sufficient time. ' There is one advantage in mixing oats or ground feed of any kind with cut hay or straw, and that is the more perfect mastication which the animal gives in this case, but it is doubtful if this advantage holds good with cattle, as they do not chew their food perfectly when eaten, but rely on the rumination which follows. In mixing feed for horses we should not put great amount of coarse food with the grain, or wd will givlmore than the stomach will bold, and the last portions eaten Wpl force the first onus, foto th® intea

tines before they are thoroughly impregnated with the gastric juice. Thus, two,pounds of hay arid four pound* of oats ate about as much as should: be fed stance when mixed, and if more oats are given the hay should be decreased; for instanoe, five pounds of oats and one and a half pounds of hay may be given. Now these facts will give us a better understanding of the effect of water on digestion. If, after feeding hay and then oat*, we allow a horse to take a large 'drink of water, h considerable part of the onto Will he carried by the water into | the intestines, and We get little of , the advantage of feeding the o&ts aftej the bay. If such a drink is taken soori after eating hay alone, the effect will not be so injurious, because hay does not heed so long a time for digestion as grain. If only one dr two quarts of water ate allowed, it will pass the food in the stomach without changing its position to any great extenlrJ'When, the stomach has got rid of a considerable part of its contents it jjjfems a difficult matter for it to force out the remainder, and fermentation and colic sometimes result; a drink of water at such a time, by carrying on the substance which has remained long enough, relieves the condition. This probably explains why some horse-car companies have found it advisable to have their horses watered at midnight. —Michigan Farmer.

A Boston boy, recently .returned from the West, tells of a restaurant experience that befell him out beyond the Mississippi. The waiter had brought him something which did not copie up to his expectations. He called the waiter ana complained. * The waiter said he would speak to the proprietor, who soon appeared upon the scene. “.I can’t eat this,” said the guest. The landlord looked at the plate, and then, turning to the young man in a patronizing and sympathizing sort of way, said; ‘‘Well, I ■wouldn’t,” and with that he strode away. But the meal, though left uneaten, had to be paid for just the same Ragout Pickle.—To two gallons of chopped cabbage and green tomatoes mixed put five tablespoonfuls of made mustard, three gills of mustard seed, two tablespoonfuls of allspice, two tablespoonfuls of cloves, one gill of salt, one pound of chopped onions, one pound of brown sugar, celery Seed to your taste, and three quarts of good vinegar.
