GOLD RETURNS.
A sikgulab occurrence in connection with the transport of a horse by rail from Lawrence to Dunedin, (says the Tuapeka Times) was witnessed on Thursday. Mr Dwyer, of the Yietoria Stables, received instructions to forward a horse belonging to Mr Kingsford to its destination. On taking the animal to the station he noticed it was very nervous and restless, but little or no attention was paid to this, as tho brute was put into a box used purposely for the conveyance of horses. After the train had departed, Mr Dwyer transmitted a message to the owner informing him that the horse had been forwarded with the 10.15 train. He was greatly astonished, however, during the afternoon, to receive a message in reply stating that the horso was dead on the arrival of the train at Caversliam. It is conjectured that the poor biuto died from fright, being unaccustomed to the screech of the engine whistle.
Pabting Advice. —" And above all, Nellie, my love," were tho parting words of a woman to her daughter as the hack to convey the newly-wedded pair to Fort Wayne depot drew up at the door, "and above all, Nellie, if you should quarrel— for Reginald is but a man, and life is full of thorns —remember that your first duty is to yourself as a lady and house-keeper. Order and neatness above all things. .Never hit your husband with a rolling--pin or a potato masher. You could never forgive yourself if the rea.uk of such a blcpt were to"be the appearance of a hair at*7J»ble in a dish of mashed polatos or a pie-crust when you had company at tea. The poker will do quite as well, and is infinitely more lady-like. Good-bye. Write every day, and don't forget your poor old mother. . 800 ! boo 1"
No Fobmality:.—" Do they miss you at home ? " he asked, as she folded and put away a letter she had just received from her mother, "Never," she answered, "they call me '. Sis.' " —Boston Transcript.
