To Err, Is Human; to Forgive, Divine
1 am going to tell a true fitory corrob
orating In real life this grand, noble
thought. Wo often read of seemingly
Impossible coincidences, and give them
but a passing thought, us mero stories
or fl'jtion, little thinking of the real
romances that crowd dally life. An
observing mind that retains tho memo
ries or mature years, may have many
n curious tale stored nwny that would
form the foundation of a thrilling novel,
but for the lack of literary ability, or
perhaps tho courage, to commit the
Kline to papor, the Incidents are lost to
tho reading world. .My story, t fear
not aptly told, lies hero In our own Or
egon, tho Incident happening In the
year 1S7T.
Some whore on tho banks of tho Wil
lamette lies 11 beautiful farm, whose
many acres of hill, valley, mid upland
varied tho t-cono, and covered with
ino-s-hung, fantastic old oaks, and
where, In broad, Minny pastures, the
Mow-moving kino chow their etui in
(pilot content. In this Arcadia lived a
young farmer, his wife, and children.
Their butter Is gilt-edged; tholr chee.-o
takes tho prize at tho fairs, and tho
man Is genial and wliolo-souled. Xot
that nil this description has very much
to do with tho story Itself, only It al
ways seems to mo that it story should,
llkolcturc, have a frame, and a little
bit of garnishing is needed to round
otr mine.
Ouo day, In the .summer of our Ten
tennlal year, our young friend was
looking nbout to Hud mjiiio ono to eon
duct I1I3 dairy, and, while at a hotel, he
found an immigrant, with Ills wlfeaud
chlltl, who was willing to work, pro.
fessing to nuder.stind tho business fur
which he was wanted. Our friend
' poon arranged tor their removal to the
farm. The woman tec-mod to be rather

of nice clothing, that, with Iter general
manner and bearing, gave the Iinpres.

occupation of a day-laborer. Howovor,
nil went on well, till, one day, a Mr.iy
newspaper from the K.ist came to hand,
telling of the strango disappearance of
it lady, tho wlfo of u wealthy dairy
man, who had started to visit the K.v
poltlon at Philadelphia, with her little
boy, and had not since been heard
from. She hnd loft with plenty of mo
ney and nice clothing. Ifer husband
and friends wero In distre.-s tho other
children wcro agonized with tho mo

when feeding beees for the butt her. Jet lunnj
do not seem to realm1 the fact that ulint holds
good w ith that kind of meat is cipinllj true
when applied to fowls. Tenderness and juici
ness uro results of fattening quickly, while
mere ordinary flavor and want of tenderness
result from letting fowls run until wanted for
' tt(0 on the table
To enable one to fatten fowls or chicks
quickly, it is absolutely necessaiy to give such
food as will accomplish the purpose best, and
to this end we unhesitatingly recommend plen-
ty of milk in any state, from fresh to thick.
This should be fed in connection with n giain
diet, for one coituteraets any iossible deleteri
ous iulluetice of the other. If kept in adalk
ened place and fed unsiiariiigly on milk, with
grain in proper pitisutioii, jou will hckui have
soinetbliig very choice to oiler up on jour
tables to your friends as well as to your family.
When milk is fed, no water is required for fat
tening fowls.
Kx.imim: mi CoMi-.x. It is the iasiet thing
in the world to tell when Jour fowls are in ill
health, cwn in the incipient stages of any dis
ease or ailment, if you but examine your Hock
carefully. The comb ef each fow 1 is a true in
dex to thu working of its system. If they be
in ill-health, the comb will lose color, and be
come far less til tn in textuics as the malady in
ci cases, the color de'Cieases, till aerysiek
bin! will show a comb almost dooid of searlet,
being of a livid dull crimson, or else pile or
ashy in apKaraticc. If thu cholera, orany
other discaic, should come into the lloek, care
fully examine the combs of eaih bird, inoiniiig
and night, and all those which are wanting in
tint bright, rich color which denotes icrfect
health, i emove at once from the Hock to a
place remote, whcio thi'y should at once be
jiut under medical treatment.
Tho comb of a fowl is an honed index of the
true inwardness, and should bo tlailv consulted
by thu fancier who values the health and well
lieing of his lloek. Look at the comb of a lay
ing lien or pullet ! She is in thu height of
health and strength, and carries her unfailing
sign of he'iilthfuluess on her head, in the hae
of n blood led, bright and full comb. A vigor
ous cock or eockcicl will carry the same sign,
though not, pel Imps, in hi eminent a de-glee as
his harem.

Llo Never.
Not long ago, In an Kngllsh steamer,
four days out from Mvcpoul, n small
boy was found hid away behind the
cargo. He Had neither father nor
mother, brother nor sister, friend nor
protector among olthsr pseiiger or
crew. Who was lie '.' Only nineyear'.s
old, the poor little stranger, with nig
ged clothes, but u beautiful face, full
or Innocence and truth. Of course he
was carried before tho llrst mate.
"How came you to sto.il n passage on
board this ship," asked the mate
sharply.
"My step-father put mo It., answer
ed the boy, "he said he could not almrd
to keep mo or pay my passage to Hall
rax, where my aunt lives. I want to
go to my aunt."
The initio did not believe the story.
Ho had often been deceived by stow
aways. Almost every ship Iluds, one
or two days out at sea, moil or boys
concealed among tho cargo, who try to
got a passage across tho water without
paying for it. And this (soften trouble
some and expensive. Tlio mate sus
pected soino of the sailors had n hand
In the llttlo boy's e-cape, and treated
him pretty roughly. Day after day he
was questioned about his coming, and
It was always tho same old ttorv no
thing less, nothing more. At last the
mate got out or patience, as mates will,
and slcr.ed him by tho collar, told him
uulcs ho confessed the truth, lu ten
minutes, ho would hang him on tho
yurd-nriii n frightful threat Indeed.
Poor child, with not a friend to Htiind
by him ! Around him wero passen
gers and sailors or tho mid-day watch,
and before him the stem llrst olllcor,
with his watch lu his hand counting
tick, tick, of the minutes as they swift
ly went. There lie stood palo and sor
rowful, his head erect and tears lu his
eyes; no, not a bit!
Klght minutes wero already gone.
"Only two minutes more to live,"
cried tlio mate-. "Speak tho truth,
and save your life, boy."
"May I pray?" asked the child look
ing up Into the hard man's face.
The otllcer nodded his head, hut said
nothing. The bravo hoy knelt down on
deck, with hands clasped nud eyes
raised to heaven, repeating tho Lord's
prayer. Ho could die; but llo never.
All eyes were turned towards him, and
sobs broke from stern hearts.
Tho nnto could hold out no longer.
Ho sprang to the boy, took him In his
arms, Hissed him, anil told him ho bo.
Ilovert every woid or it. A nobler
sight never took plnco on ship's deck
than this a poor, iinfrii'iulcd child
willing lo race death Tor truth's sake!
