I've Jnrt come in from tha meadow, wife", where the grass Is tall and green ; 1 hobbled out npoa my .cane to MS John's new ma chine ; It made my old eyes snap again to see that mower mow, And I h eared a slfrh tor the .scythe I swung some twenty yearefago. Many and many 'a tha day I'r niowed, 'neath the rays of the scorching son Till I thought my poor back would break era my tuk for the day was done. I often think of thenars of toil in the fields all orer the farm. TiU I feel th. sweat on my wrinkled brow and the old pain cum. in my arm. It was hard work, it was slow .work, a-iwloains the old scythe then ; rnllke the mower that went thro' the grass like death thro' the ranks of men. I stood and looked till my old eyes ached, atoned at its speed and power The work It took me a day tedo.lt done In one short hrar. John said I hadn't seen the half; when be puts it into bis wheat I'd see it reap it, and rake it and put it la bundles neat; Then soon a Yankee will come along and set to work to lam Te reap and thrash it, and bag U up and send It into the barn. John kinder laughed when be said it. but 1 said to the hired man: . . "I're seen so much hi my pilgrimage thro' my three-score years and ten. That I would not be surprised to see a railroad In the air, Or a Tankee In a Hying ship a'golng most any where." There's a difference in the work I done and the work my boys now do ; Steady and slow in the good old way, worry and fret in the new. But scmehow I think there was liappinsss crowd ed into those tolling days. The fast young men of the present won't see til' they mend their ways. To think that I should live to see work done in this wjnderiul way! Old tools are little service now, and farm In' Is al most play ; The women have got their sew in' machines, their wringers and every ska thing, And now play croquet in the doorway, cr sit in the parlor and sing. Twaan't you lh.t had it so easy, wife, in the days tu long gone by ; ou rii up early and sat up late, a-Uiiling for you and I; There were cows to milk, there was butter to mate, and many a day did you stand A-washin' my toll-stained garments and wring ing them by hand. Ah, wile, our children will never see the bard work we have seen. For the heavy task and the Ions; ta k Is done with A machine. No longer the noise of the scythe I bear ; the mow. er there ! I bear It alar. A-ralUln' along thro' the tall, stout grass with the noise of a railroad car. u ell, the old tools now arc shored away ; they stand a-galhertn rust. Like many an old man I've seen put aside wi.b only a crust ; When the eye grows dim, when the step is weak. it hen the strength goes out of h. arm. The beat thing a poor old man can do is to bold to the deed of the farm. There is one old way that they can't improve, al though it bsa been tried Uy men who hare studied and studied, and wor ried lU they died : It has sliowu unvUiumcU for age?, like gJJ r fined from Its dress It s the way to the King loin of Uearen by the tm4a way wf the cross. A Li IX BROTHER. A BEM ASKABLE PASSAGE IX THE TOBT OF THE FIRM. (St. Louis Illustrated Xagazlne.) hi Harry Rankin was married. Ilia elder brother and senior partner, George Rankin, now, for the first time, folly realized the fact True, tbat very morning he bad arrayed himself is unwonted finery, and gone to church in an uncommonly solemn frame of mind, and assisted at the wedding. lie bad even gone so fur as to print a brotherly kiss on the lips of the bride, as 6be and Harry set out on tkeir bridal tcur. Still he bad not fully mastered the fact tbat Harry Ilatkin was married until now. He poked bis fire into a blaze and planted bis chair fairly in front of it. by way of asserting bis sole occupan cy on the hearth. Around bira were all the bachelors' traps tbat be and Uarry had accumulated darinsr their long joint tenantcy of the room. He did not inventory tbem in bis mind o did not see tbem, (or be was look- iog at the fire still they were there, and he knew they were there and fell their influence. He felt that the room would never be a home again nothing but a her j mitage. "This is worse tban having a tooth drawn," said he to himself. "It was i dull enough here with biro, after he got to prosing eternally about Eva, and bothering me with bis groan d plans for cottage booses. I thought 1 aboald be glad when it would all be over, and I should have heard tbi last of Eva and double parlors and winding stairs, but now that it is over and 1 have beard the last of it, I dott seem to be very lively. The old den will never be itelf again The firm of Rankin brothers is die- solved so far as this place is concern ed. "I shall have to carry on this part of the establishment alone. 1 suppose I shall get used to it after awhile, but just now I feel like a fellow's left leg when the surgeon carries ca the right one in a sack. I ought to write three or four letters to-night, but there is no use m my trying to do anything. If 1 do I won't accomplish as much as a bluebottle fly on a wooden god's noee. 1 shall have to resort to opium, or chloroform, or Josepbos, or some thing, to get to sleep in this haunted chamber to-night." With these cheerful reflections and many others of the same sort, he w tiled away the evenicg until about sine o'clock, when the solitude be came so oppressive tbat he sallied forth, stick in band, and walked by starlight until about eleven o'clock, after which he turned in and slept soundly. The interesting event mentioned in the above paragraphs did not prevent the senior member of the firm of Ran kin Brothers from resuming his uni form routine cf kaliu and dotie the next morning. , At precisely eight o'clock, his long established breakfast hour, be took his accustomed chair a: the hotel ta ble, and waa supplied with his im memorial breakfast ol toast, ctffee, and tedium-boiled eggs. The rustling of a lad, 's dres call ed his attention from bis breaktaet to tbe opposite side of the table There sat bis brother's bride. "Why. Eva," ssid be. "vou here? Did yoa miss the boat ? Harry f" Where's Bet or ESTABLISHED, 1&H7. SOMERSET, PA;.' WEDNESDAY, NOV. 20, 1879. "Sir !" said the lady, with a look of unutterable astonishment, now does u Happen that you didn't get off? Yoa had ample time to reach tbe boat. Did the carriage break down on tbe war to tbe land ing ?" said Mr. Rankin, a little dis composed by tbe amazed look of tbe lady, it is true, but still confident that he waa addressing his brother's wife. v Br this time the lady began U see the true state of the ease. "You mistake me for some other person," said she. It was now Mr. Rankin's torn to be amazed. The lady beforo him so exactly re sembled his brother's bride in every tine of her face and bgore, every trick of countenance, lip and eye, that he felt more disposed to doubt her sani. ty tban her identity." There was the same slight, lithe Ggure, the same smooth brown hair, the selfsame hazel eye, the identical high, clear forehead and petite spirit uelle lower face. , . "Can it be possible that I am mis taken 7" be said. "I took you for my brother's wife. The resemblance is mostextraordinary.and if there be any dissimilarity in your personal ap pearance and hers, I cannot perceive it. I don't believe I should ever learn to distinguish von. Your voice even is tbe very counterpart of hers." 1 An old gentleman, who was seated by tbe young lady, here took up tbe conversation. "My daugLter," said be, "has been annoyed by the unusual degree of at tention she has received since she came here laet evening. Her every movement has been watched by sev eral curious people. Probably tbe resemblance you speak of has deceiv ed others as well as yourself. May I inquire tbo maiden name of the lady you speak of. Such a remarkable resemblance could hardly exiat in the absence of any family reiatioa ahip." "The lady I referred to," said.Mr. Rankin, "was called Eva Noble until yesterday, wben she was married to my brother. She is the only child of Judge Noble, of this city. By the way," continued be, brightening up as a new thought struck him, "I have heard tbat Eva bail a twin sister who sraa lost in the trtodahere when a mere bab?, just abllo run abut That was long befor II came here The site of this city as then a wil derness for tbe most j ft The story goes tbat the little ot '.rayed off in to tbe forest, tbat serfb was made for her many days inf? ain, until her discovery, alive or d L was despair ed f, (.nd that no vel 'e or trace of her was ever found.'I X "Did you ever hear tbe first name of the lost child mentioned ?" said tbe old gentleman "1 may have heard it, bat I have forgotten if I ever did." Here a lady boarder at tbe same table, who bad been an attentive lie tener to the whole conversation, cleared her throat and interposed: "The name of tbe lost child," said she, "was Ellen ; I have heard Mrs. Noble and tbe Judge speak of her many times." "My dear," said the old gentleman to tbe young lady, "I am afraid I shall have to give you up at last." And then turning to Mr. Rankin, be said : "When this lady was apparently about three years of age, she was found with a familv of Indians in central New York, where I then re sided. "The Indians claim to have found her in tbe woods, lost and nearly fam ished, many days' joaroey, as they said, to the westward. They profess ed to be willing to give ber op to any white person wbo would take ber and take care of ber. Tbey had plenty of children of their own, so they eaid, and had no occasion to steal other people's. Having no child-en of our own, my wife and I were glad to adopt the little stranger. When she was about twelve years of age rr.y wifo died, aud since then she and I have got along together as well as we could. Her clothing wben she came to us was marked 'Ella N.' in several places. It was badly worn and soil ed, but my wife carefully preserved it, thinking that it might lead to her identification. You have it with you, have you not, Ella ?" "Yes, sir," said the young lady, retreating to ber room with evident emotion. There were about a dozen people at the table, most of tbem regular boarders and residents of tbe city. When the strange young lady made ber appearance among them, tbey bad all supposed tbat she was Harry Rankin's oride, and were on the qui vive to account for her appearance there and then, with a strange old gentleman. Of course tbey were eager listeners to tbe above conversation, and of course the news of the probable dis covery of Judge Noble's long lost daogbter, and her marvellous like ness to ber supposed sister, traveled fast. Tbe lady wbo had volonteered to give tbe first name of tbe lost child was at Judge Noble's house at the earliest possible moment, and tbe Judge and bis lady were at the hotel in less tban half an hour from the time wben Mr. Rankin sat down to breakfast The young lady's history, and her marvellous likeness to tbeir remain ing daughter, - would have satisfied them tbat she was their child, if tbe little garments in which she bad been found had not been preserved. These Mrs. Noble instantly recog nized as her own handiwork; and ber husband and tbe strange old gentle man smiled and exchanged glances wben tbey beard the mother apolo gizing to the daughter for tbe coarse ness of her infant wardrobe. "Yon see, my daughter," said tbe good lady, 'tee country was new tben, and the ways of the people very plain and primitive. There was bot one store here, and that a very small affair no dressmakers, oo milliners. (no nothing. Your father was sot ncu. vteEfptoo tervanls. 1 was a young mother with so experience, and with a double portion of work sad care tbat is, yon understand, 'yon and your sister were twins. Yoo and she could spoil more good clothes tban any one woman could make and keep in order. That a wbv yoa bap pened to have on such coarse little things when you were lost" "This western world has changed a good deal since that time," said the old gentleman, "aach a loss and finding would be simply impossible now. I be newspapers would herald tbe child s disappearance in all its known particulars, from one end of the land to the other. Now, aboat these little clothes. My wife was greatly impressed with their original elegance, though they came to ber bands badly soiled and tattered. She was especially struck with the fact that each article was marked as it was." "The little one's clothing was marxea wun ner urst name in lull at my suggestion," explained the judge. loo see, sir, tbe two children were so exactly alike that nobody but their mother could distinguish them und it is my belief that she was sometimes mistaken. So we had evervtbing be longing to tbem marked with tbeir first name in full, to avoid confus ion." "Mav I inquire," continued the Judge, "tbe name of the gentleman to whom we are so deeply indebt ed ?" "I am Jonas Cummings, the origin ator of tbe railroad which first brought your city into notice, as I am vain enough to believe. Yoa and I have been occasional correspondents these many years, though we now meet for the first time." "And, father," said tbe young lady, now for the first time taking an ani mated part in the conversation, and blushing and stammering' over her difficulty in calling a strange gentle. man "father," "if yoa only knew how kind he has teen to me, yoa wouldn't blame me, even now that I have found my true father and mother. He has spoiled me with his indulg ence, as you will Cud, I am afraid. will iry to be a good daughter to you, and alwajs call you "lather," if you please, sir. liut won't you let me continue io call him "papa," as I have done so many years V "My daughter," said the Judge, with emotion, "I shall value vou in proportion to yonr gratitude and af fection for your benefactor. If he has spoiled you with indulgence, as yoa say be has and I can easily be lieve from what I know of bim, tnougb we now meet for the first time it is well that your sifter was married and gone before you came, for it would be inconvenient to have two spoiled girls, two only daughters in the same family. Besides, if your sister had not secured a husband be fore yoa cam, I don't believe she rr you ever could have got one. Wh it man would be bold enough to make love to one of two girls that be could not tell apart ? I don't see, for my part, t jw he could possibly make op bis mind which be wanted." Mr. Cnmmings and 31 r. Rankin took dinner with Judge Noble and bis lady and tbeir newly-found daugh ter that day. Mr. Rankin had never been a vio lent admirer of tbe lady whom his brother bad wooed and won and wed. He had regarded her as very nice girl and a very sail able match for Harry. Fortber tban that be had never committed himself in his own mind in ber favor. Now that be was seated by one that he could not possibly have dis tinguished from her bad she been there and similarly dressed, he began to be sensible of charms which bad quite escaped bis attention before, la fine, he went away from that din ner party a smitten man. It was agreed tbat Mrs. Harry Rankin should not be informed of the discovery and retnrn of ber sister un til she came back from her bridal tour, and her mother undertook to communicate this arrangement to ev ery person who woul j be likely to correspond with her in the meantime. Jdr. ueorge KanKin was a very frequent visitor at Judge Noble's house, where be was so cordially welcomed that he saon made bold to propose to Miss Ella. lie was frankly accepted by the young lady, to tbe undisguised satis faction of ber parents. After some little demur on the part of tbe young lady and her mother,' it was arranged that tbe wedding should come off before tbe return of Harry and bis bride, which arrange ments were duly carried out. A bridal tour was out of the ques tion as Mr. Rankin could not leave his business during his brother's ab sence. He and his bride took a furnished house, and proceeded to establish a home forthwith. When Harry and his bride return ed, tbey were received by Judge No ble and bis lady at their house. As soon as tbe first rash ot ques tions and answers between mother and daughter bad subsided, George and bis bride appeared, and the latter was duly presented. Harry's astonishment at finding bis brother married to a fac simile of his own wife, though very great, was not to be compared to tbe amazement of his bride. She seemed to be confronted with ber own image in a mirror. Ella, though fully prepared for this interview, was also strangely im pressed with this first sight of her sister. She seemed to see her own feat- area on another face, and to bear her own voice from the lips of another. To their husbands and parents the extraordinary likeness cf the two la- diet was astonishing and bewildering, bot to tbe ladies it was magical and almost nncanny. It was at first hard for either of them to regard ber doable otherwise than an apparition. Harry waa the first to speak i "George," said he, "I knew yoa trusted my taste more than your own bat I really did not expen yoo to du- plicate my wife!" "It must it most be Ella ! said tva, in a suppressed tone, eocn as one involunujily adopts when over whelmed with astonishment. "Wbre where was she found ?" Wben the whole atory had been duly told to the newly-arrived, tbe sisters went up to Eva's old room and there made each changes in tbeir' era toilets as destroyed their previous identity. They then presented themselves before tbeir husbands, and required them each to take bis own wife in to dinner and make no mistakes. Rankin & Brother were obliged to surrender at discretion and confess ! tbat tbey could not recognize their own wives. Since then tbe ladies have been careful to dress so differently that tbeir husbands and tbe other mem bers of tbeir families should be able to distinguish tbem, but tbeir won derful likeness still causes perplexity in tbeir large circle of acquaintances. A Strrnax WMdlag Fe. Manv years ago, a New York min ister was wailing in the office of a lawyer who was one of his members, chatting on various subjects and as tbe minister happened to speak of the hard times, and dilatoriness of the church io paving his salarr, tbe law yer remarked : Now, I hardly agree with you, pastor, in your assertion tbat minis ters are paid lesj for tbeir work tban any other class of professional men. Tbey have a great deal given them in one way or another, donation par ties, Christmas presents, etc. men the item of wedding fees, which yoa seldom bear them speak about but which must amount to several hun dred dollais in the course if the year brings tbem in a good revenue." "Do you think eo f said the cler gyman. ",ow come ngnt down to dots, wtat do yoo think is tbe aver age fee I receive ?" "I should ear twenty dollars was low estimate," said the lawyer "Here in New York I have often known persons to give one hundred dollars, and a fifty dollar fee is quite common, but considering the fact ycu marry a good many ptor, or those who are moderately well ofT, as well aa tbe rich, I should think, as I said, tbat twenty dollars was a pretty low average." "Tbat calculation is rather large," said the minister, "but still I cannot tell exactly all I have received this year." "I preaome not," said tbe lawyer. "I have noticed that ministers don't generally kaow how much they have received, wben the sum is pref.y large, but rather think they would if it were a small one. But I will give yoa ten dollars for your next fee, and I do not believe that I snail luee anything bv it either. Do you accept of that?" Tbe minis'.er hesitated a moment, and then said : "Yes well, yes; I'll accept tbat ten dollars for Laif the next fee." He ff,a bade bim gocd morning and wet to his d oner. While he sat at he table the beli rang, and the serva .t came in saying a man at tbe door wished to sea bim a moment. He found a rough-looking farmer standing there, wio accosted him thus : "Good morning, Dr. A. I come in to see if you conld just tie me up thi3 morning. Sal and I have been talk ing about it a good while, and we've come to the conclusion that 'taint any use to wait longer." "Ob, yes, replied the doctor, walk in. Wbere do yoa want to be mar ried ?" "Right here," said tbe farmer, "if you're willin'." So he brought in a blooming coun try maid, ana tbe minister, who had doffed his gown and slipped on his best coat, made tbem one in the most impressive style. After the cere mony and tbe congratulations tbe farmer said : "About the fee, minister, we ha'nt got much money, bu: we thought perhaps your children mibt be fond j ot purpa." Haying whicn he tipped up a era a! box, and out rolled a little white pup on tbe piano. The minister could scarcely con tain bis mirth, but thanked tbe bride groom and told bim the children p!eaaant good moraiDg. He finished Wtjaia oe e:aa ol it, ana Dade mm a bis dinner, tben putting tbe pup back in the box, he started with it for tbe lawyer's office. His friend was quite surprised to see him so soon again, bat tbe pas tor, however, relieved his curiosity by saying: I bad no idea wben I accepted your offer this morning tbat I should have come so soon to claim it ; but I bardly think I should have accepted it so quickly, had I known I bad to marry a couple to day, and receive such an unusual and unexpected fee. Generally there is not much difference in tbem, but this a perfect surprise to me." "No backing out now," said the lawyer ; "that bargain was fair and square, and yoa must hold tv it. Here's your ten dollars; handover the fee." The minister demurred a moment, and told him he should beware how he made ra6b promises again ; but finally unfastening the cover of the box, said : "All right, I'll stand by the bargain," tumbled out the pup on tbe lawyer's desk, and with tbe bland est smile upon his face, be said: "Here is the fee, which half will yoa take?" "Yoa don't mean it that yoa mar ried a couole and tbat was your fee V "Indeed it waa," said the minister, "and tbe man wbo presented it tho't be was doing a handsome thing." Tben with a heart v laogh tbe law yer handed bim a gold piece, and told Lim that be bad nothing more tolls say about enriching ministers by wedding fees. Th. avesstewhw OwilAwe. Cixcis.xati, Nov. 11.

During tbe last week Washington has relapsed into Summer, malaria and mosquitoes Think cf tbat for tbe middle of November! Toe city is filling up with unusual rapidity; many Senators and members ot Con gress have returned to their accus tomed haunts, I will not be too ex plicit about the haunts. Tbe rapid falling up of the city is in part doe to tbe coming unveiling of tbe Tbomas equestrian statue. It is expected tbat fully 25.000 people will come to Washington to see tbe imposing cere mony, and grand street pageant. Preparations for unveiling trie sUtue on the 19:h inst. are well advanced The detached pieces arrived yester day, encased ia five separate boxes, which have been safely unloaded aud conveyed to the fourteenth street cir cle. The work of unboxing and piac. ing in position, it is expected, will be completed by Tuesday, tbe 13:h inst. It will be time to criticise the statue after it has been unveiled, bat it is sincerely to be hoped that it Will be superior, in point of art. to the other bronze equestrian monstrosities of the Capital. No ci:y in the world has as many colossal equestrian statues as Washington. One is seldom out of sight of a huge bronze cavalry man. Generals Washington, Jack son, Greene, McPhersun and Scott, are all mounted on huge chargers. Washington's and Jackson's steeds are rampant, like grass fed colia at a militia parade. General Scott's ani mal is supposed to be walking but bis feet are in a position never as sumed by a horse except when Le is baiancifg himself preparatory to scratching bis ear wiih bis hiud foot. General Greene is on a high, angular, but picturerqne brute, and is, perhaps Iht) best of ttie paddock.

A Soblc Career. Zacbariab Chandler, whose suddea death has brought sorrow to many hearts, was a typical American. Tho son of a New England farmer, bo migrated to the West as soon as ha attained manhood, and located ia Detroit when it was bot a small tra ding town. Tbe splendid city aa it now stands, grew np under a eyw, and his early investments made him a weslthy roan long before he enter ed public lifo. He had the sagacity, the energy and tbe sterling integrity which would Lave mado him a ruai cf fortune and influence even if had remained ia bis native town ia Now Hampibire, but in tbe new S'.a: cf Michigan there were except! -na! opportuaitie-i for acquiring wea.t t aud repuiaiioo, wbit'b bo did no.

Although fairly edaca'.e 1 and well versed ia that pract cul knowledge which is essentia! to tru j statesuiausbip, he was a plain mar, and in bis modes of thought and forms of expression he never g.: above the heads of the masses jut t--: people. There was a singular di rectness in bis method of speakin r which never failed to reach the com prehension of the multitude, llehil in aa abundant degree that sort t moral and physical courage which i i common parlance is called pluck, aa J whenever tbe occasion demanded, is was sure to as-ert itself. This was one of the qualities tbat eautar:t bim to his countrymen and mad bu name & household word through jut the North. Mr. Chandler came into tbe I'uite l States Seua'.e during the stormy pe riod wbicb iramediaiely preceded m cession and rebellion.

Ahhoagn a man of te- - der and human feelings, Mr. Chanc ier had rr undue delicacy when dc ii ing wiii the facta of history. As a statesman and public oJi.'tr Mr. Chandler was conspicuous for Lis unflinching integrity. No maa ever dared to approach him with a corrupt proposition. When drag-net3 were being east for weak and corrupt leg islators, and all manner of scandals were inquired into by hostile commit tees, bis name was not even mention ed among tboe wbo were suppec.ed of venality. His roost malignant en emies never accused him of being in fluenced in Lis public conduct by cor rupt motives. His coavictioas were strong, his temper was aggressive and there was a touch of partisan fer vor in his nature, but he was thor oughly honest. There was a tempo rary conservative reaction which pre vented him from being re-elected to the Senate at tbe close cf his third term ; but President Grant hooq af- terward took him into his Cabinet and put bim at the bead of the de partment ia which, of all others, aa indexible, honest and incorruptible man was needed. Mr. Chandler's administration of tbe Interior De partment amply justified the Presi dent's confidence ia hia ability an J luiegrity. Up to ibis hour a partisan Democratic Congress, wiib commit tees organized to convict, has not been able to find a weak spot on which to bae a charge of extrava gance, negligence or malfea-ance.
